Wang Yincheng returned the pen and the contract to Liu Heng after signing, Liu Heng raised his eyebrows, and was secretly surprised by the clean and neat behaviour of the man on the opposite side: "You don't have any conditions?!" he wondered.
Wang Yincheng glanced at Liu Heng lightly: "No need."
Liu Heng put away things, and Wang Yin Cheng said: "When can I see the child?"
Wang Yincheng's tone was slightly anxious, although it was not obvious, but it was a little different from his usual speaking style. Liu Heng moved: "This weekend, I have time."
Wang Yincheng frowned: "You don't need to make time for me, I'll just see Dousha."
Liu Heng put the document away, his eyes piercing Wang Yincheng, and said seriously: "Editor Wang, let me say a few things. We haven't known each other for a long time. Although you are the one who gave birth to Dousha, I don't know you, and your character needs to be observed. Please be sure to co-operate with me. I hope Dousha can lead the happy life of an ordinary child. If you are a qualified parent, I will not deliberately prevent you from meeting. If you are not, I as a father have the right to ensure that my son isn't emotionally harmed."
Liu Heng said the words perfectly, and Wang Yincheng thought it sounded reasonable. He considered this issue from the perspective of a child's father. Liu Heng was very thoughtful, and Wang Yincheng nodded: "I understand."
After discussing the child's issues, the two of them had nothing to say for a while. Wang Yincheng suddenly remembered Ye Anning's words during the day and asked, "Does the media know that you have a son?"
Liu Heng shook his head: "They don't know. Except for my family and a few friends and relatives, almost no one knows, and the teacher of Dousha's Preschool is also unclear."
Suddenly, Wang Yincheng felt that this Ye Anning woman had a problematic character.
----------________----------
After dinner, the two waited for the elevator to go downstairs, Liu Heng said: "Where do you live? I will drop you."
Wang Yincheng stood opposite Liu Heng, raised his eyes to look at him, and said lightly: "No, I can take a taxi." After a pause: "You can contact me on the weekend."
"Alright."
There were no words between them again. Wang Yincheng took it for granted that, in a sense, things that happened between him and Liu Heng was just a business deal. He was short of money, Liu Heng wanted a child, so they coincided through an intermediary. Liu Heng is a generous businessman, and he has a lot of money. Of course, Wang Yincheng suffered a lot in order to have children. A transaction is a two-way market. Although the two sides of the equation have a sudden change in their positions, in Wang Yincheng's mind, he and Liu Heng should not have any other intersections except the child and work.
There was only one thing, Wang Yin Cheng felt that fate had really played a great joke on him. At that time, he was a surrogate for the sake of Zhou Yi'an, and the money eventually paid off the debt to Zhou Yi'an's family, but now Zhou Yi'an and Liu Heng even know each other.
It can be seen that God is sometimes blind.
Liu Heng looked at Wang Yincheng's clean face in front of him and said, "Where do you live? I will just drop you."
When Wang Yincheng asked the same question twice, he could not put it off. He reported the address, and Liu Heng looked at the elevator and said, "it's just on the way. I'll give you a ride."
--------------------_________----------------------
Liu Heng drove Wang Yincheng back, the roads were a bit busy, and neither of them spoke.
The dim street lights and lights outside the car were reflected on the window. The expressions of the two people on the car were particularly clear on the windshield. Liu Heng knocked the fingers of the steering wheel carelessly, and Wang Yincheng's expression was extremely cold.
Wang Yincheng used his mobile phone to log in to QQ to check emails, and the beeping sound was endless. Liu Heng said: "Are you a local?"
The QQ prompt sound in the car was particularly awkward, and Wang Yincheng withdrew from the QQ app, "No."
"Just changed your job?"
"Yes."
"Is the house rented?"
"The newspaper's house."
"Is there a car?"
"No."
"Stable income?"
Liu Heng asked Wang Yincheng and answered, Wang Yin thought that Liu Heng only asked casually, asking about income, he realized that Liu Heng really knew his background. If there was no child between Liu Heng and Wang Yincheng, Liu Heng is too lazy to spend more time with him, but now they have similar positions, so he asked more. Wang Yincheng felt that he was a cautious father.
Wang Yincheng looked sideways at Liu Heng, and for the first time seriously talked about his annual income with a person: "Editing is my main business, but I do not rely only on that to make money, my annual income is about one million[1]."
"Hmm!" Liu Heng couldn't help but praise the man, his heart suddenly feeling a bit odd for some reason. It was good that Wang Yincheng would make money, so that it would show from the side that a man was responsible and career-oriented, and will not treat their children materially in the future. But he just felt a little uncomfortable, and he didn't know why.
-----------------________----------------
Liu Heng sent Wang Yincheng back to his place of residence. Wang Yincheng said, "Just stop at the gate of the community."
Liu Heng turned the steering wheel and drove the car directly into the community, and said casually: "What are you afraid of, you are not a woman either. Which area?"
Wang Yincheng was choked with these words to refute: "C area."
Liu Heng parked downstairs in Area C, Wang Yincheng pulled the seat belt, beside Liu Heng suddenly thought of what came to a sentence: "What do you do on the side for more than a million a year?"
Wang Yincheng pushed the car door back and faintly swept a glance at Liu Heng, his eyes flashing: "Duck[2]." After he said that, he got out of the car and left.
Liu Heng: "..."
----------------------__________------------------------
Liu Heng wanted to go back to the company to work overtime. He left Wang Yincheng's community and turned to the highway. Of course, it is impossible for the two people to go along the way. Liu Heng's company and the place where Wang Yincheng lives are basically in two opposite directions, and the road is more crowded at this point of time.
Liu Heng was stuck on the way to the office, and sits carelessly in the car listening to music waiting to go on the road, suddenly remembered Wang Yincheng's faint glance and the "duck" when he got off the bus. He couldn't help but shake his head and snicker out loud, his fingers tapping at the steering wheel, Wang Yincheng was replying to his own words, "You're not a woman either," right?
Liu Heng thought for a while, couldn't help but smiled, and was in a very good mood, he didn't want to go back to the company to work overtime.
He called Dousha on his cell phone, knowing the pup would be awake at this hour.
Dousha answered the phone and didn't sound like he was asleep: "What?"
Liu Heng was in a good mood and automatically ignored the bad attitude of Dousha: "asleep?"
"It's boring to ask when you know I'm not sleeping." Dousha didn't dare to fight with his old man so directly, his voice held in his throat, sounding just soft and sticky.
Liu Heng waited patiently for the car in front of him to change course, "Go to bed early, I'll take you to meet your... parents this weekend." Liu Heng was now a bit confused as to what to call Wang Yincheng in front of the child.
Dousha's voice was sharp, "Really?" A pause: "And show me the back of his head this time?"
Liu Heng was amused by such a cautious sentence from Dousha, and even the traffic jam felt comfortable: "No, this time I'll show you the front, you can talk."
Dousha screams and cheers came from the other end of the phone happily, so excited that he fell down and yelled. Finally, he even didn't even say goodbye to Liu Heng and hung up directly.
Liu Heng's mouth was evoked into an obvious smile. In his eyes, all kinds of comfort and pleasure flashed. Once again, Wang Yincheng's beautiful face flashed through his mind. He had to admit that he had really struck it lucky when he chose him as a surrogate back then.
------------__________-----------------
Dousha dropped the phone and jumped on the bed excitedly, screaming and rolling.
He lay on the edge of the bed and took the mobile phone to call Ye Fei, excitedly telling Ye Fei that he could see Ma Ma this week.
Ye Fei pressed his voice over the phone, "You whisper a little!!! Do you want me to get beaten up?!"
Dousha lowered his voice: "I can't sleep now, what should I do?"
Ye Fei said: " "I seemed to have seen the person you mentioned last time at school. He came with my dad! I took a look when I left. You two really look alike! My dad said you both look alike. !"
Dousha: "You saw it too? Why didn't I hear you say that before?"
Ye Fei: "Because I'm not sure ah, I just peeked at the QQ open on my dad's computer in the study while my he was using the bathroom. I think I found a QQ number."
Dousha's eyes were bright as snow: "What QQ number?"
Ye Fei: "Your mother's QQ number may be that
I heard my Ba and my dad [3] talked about your mother, he seems to be called Cheng Yin. Do you have a QQ? I will give you the number later."
OK, OK~! ! "Xiao Dousha nodded wildly with excitement, and ran to the study to open his dad's computer. He doesn't have QQ, and he gets a headache every time he sees that dumb penguin looking around in a scarf[4], but he knows his Dad has a frequently used QQ.
Dousha hung up the phone and went to the study downstairs to open the computer and open Liu Heng's QQ.
The other side of Ye Fei's text message soon arrived, DouSha can't quite use QQ, so he called Ye Fei again, Ye Fei went to the computer to remotely guide for a while before he found the QQ number. It was really a man named Cheng Yin.
Dousha hung up the phone, kneeling on Liu Heng's sofa chair, small hand holding the mouse carefully clicked on the "add as a friend".
Waiting expectantly for a confirmation, a friend verification popped up.
Dousha knows a lot of words, and naturally also knows the words in the white box of "Friend Verification". His small face is facing the computer screen and his brows are frowning. What should I say? Dousha poked his finger on the keyboard, typed out two words-Dousha, after thinking about it and deleting it, typing out his name Liu Xu, and thinking about what if that person still doesn't know his name? So he deleted it reluctantly and typed four words-Liu Heng's son.
Finally, pressing confirm, Dousha was lying in front of the computer annoyed, he really didn't like Penguin for a reason!!!!
------------_______------------
Wang Yincheng went home to take a shower, and then turned on the computer to open QQ.
Over there, a prompt to add friends popped up, and Wang Yincheng opened it, almost spraying the screen with a mouthful of water.
"Son of Liu Heng"
Wang Yincheng choked badly. He moved the water glass aside, clicked the mouse to add as a friend, and then he didn't know what to do.
Wang Yincheng sat in front of the screen and looked at the avatar on the interface. The other party's QQ name is brian. Wang Yincheng frowned. In fact, he was not sure who the other person was. He was very suspicious of the words Ye Anning whispered during the day The tone does not seem to confirm whether Liu Heng has a son, but obviously he knows something. Wang Yincheng is now a half-media person himself, knowing that many messages in the circle are actually confirmed by side talk. He feels a little paranoid, but on this issue he feels it is better to be a little careful.
He did not take the initiative to text that person, turned to Chen Jiao's number, and took a screenshot of brian's picture [Liu Heng's number? 】
Chen Jiao returned quickly [Yes. 】
[Beautiful Bigfoot: How is your work going? 】
[Cheng Yin: OK. 】
[Beautiful big feet: Liu Heng's official business is actually pretty good, but looks a little more serious. You can also make friends in private. 】
Wang Yincheng thought that his relationship with Liu Heng was really not suitable for being a friend, but it was not good to say anything to Chen Jiao.
[Cheng Yin: Have you seen Liu Heng's son? 】
[Beautiful big feet: Never seen, I only know that he has a son. I'll coax my son to sleep and see you later. 】
Wang Yincheng looked at Chen Jiao's answer on the screen and said, Dousha looks like himself. If Chen Jiao knows that Dousha is Liu Heng's son, he may have been confused and told him.
Wang Yincheng confirmed that brian was Liu Heng's account, and he felt a sudden nervousness. He thought that Liu Heng had just sent him back. It was impossible to turn around and add QQ, and the friend verification clearly stated that Liu Heng's son.
Liu Heng's son! !
Wang Yincheng felt that his hand on the keyboard was a little shaking. He passed two question marks and shook the screen again, waiting for the opposite response.
Soon, there was a symbolic pattern that looked cute [╭(╯3╰)╮]
Wang Yincheng stared at the picture in the dialog box, which was sour, swollen and soft. He thought that the child was only six years old and he didn't know a few words, only patterns.
-------------_________--------------
On the computer, the Dousha is lying on the screen in front of the screen. Some of the pictures he can understand and some do not understand. He thinks of a more serious and serious picture in the past. Looking back at his usual indifferent attitude, will that person not fail? like?
Even Ye Fei and Xiao Liu Ji said that adults like sweet-smiling and cute children.
So Dousha picked a decent picture of selling meng[5]. After that, a single symbolic picture of giving a kiss. Dousha looked at the past figure with a black line. She regretted that her intestines were green and suddenly saw that there was also a [╭(╯3╰)╮] over there.
So on this day, Xiao Dousha's excited heart suddenly calmed down, and he was not so worried about whether the person other the computer would dislike him. The little hand holding the mouse kept clicking on the computer screen, and then began to kiss the other end.
