Luo Lingsheng’s pre-operative training was still carried out on a daily basis, and the latest measured physical values had increased slightly, which was considered a rare good thing.

Saturday arrived in a flash.

Shi Yunnan finished revising the private order at hand and couldn’t help but stretch his back. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the exhibition invitation letter beside the table, and his mind moved slightly.

The 3rd Design Exhibition of “Porcelain and Jade”

Luo Lingsheng was afraid that he would feel bored outside of his design work, so he asked Qin Jian to get the invitation for him.

Shi Yunnan had heard of this exhibition before. Most of the design products on display were the combination of ceramics and jade. The special compatibility of fragile and hard objects made the designer’s idea a novel one.

Shi Yunnan saw the exhibition time on the invitation, and it ends at 5 pm today.

Why not go and take a look?

The moment the idea took shape, there was a knock on the door of the room.

“Come in.”

Little Goldfish ran in quickly, and cleverly called Shi Yunnan to eat. He glanced at the invitation letter full of English words out of the corner of his eye and looked at it.

Shi Yunnan put down the invitation letter and took him downstairs with him.

Little Uncle, are you going to see Uncle at the hospital this afternoon? I’ve finished the homework assigned to me by my private tutor!“

Shi Yunnan said, “Let’s go again at night. Uncle will go to an exhibition this afternoon.”

Little Goldfish nodded thoughtfully, “Okay.”

…

After lunch, Shi Yunnan casually changed into a set of formal clothes and drove out to see the exhibition.

This exhibition was in the first block near the city center. When Shi Yunnan arrived at the entrance of the exhibition hall, he realized that there weren’t particularly many people coming to see the show.

But it wasn’t hard to figure out why.

In the fast-paced United States, jade mixed with porcelain design was a niche art. In addition, this exhibition had been held for nearly half a month, thus those who liked it had already seen it.

Shi Yunnan went through the security check and entered this closed art paradise.

He originally came only with the mindset of casually looking around, but he didn’t expect to be completely attracted by these art exhibits once he entered the hall.

Jade was a natural product that had evolved over thousands of years, while porcelain was a man-made product calcined by fire. The combination of two equally beautiful but fragile products was unexpectedly wonderful.

Shi Yunnan had a consistent pursuit of designer aesthetics, and he gradually became fascinated by it.

He walked to the corner of the first exhibition hall and looked up to find a familiar figure in the second exhibition hall.

His eyes lingered for a moment to confirm, and the other party also noticed him.

“Mr. Shi?” Ning De’an approached slowly, his face still wearing a gentlemanly yet charming smile, saying, “I didn’t expect to see you here. We meet again.”

“Hello.” Shi Yunnan simply said hello.

Ning De’an looked at the exhibits beside him and smiled, “Mr. Shi also likes these porcelains?”

Shi Yunnan said frankly, “To be honest, I am a jewelry designer, and I cooperated with a friend in a jade design studio in China… However, I don’t know much about porcelain.”

“If Mr. Shi doesn’t mind, why don’t we stroll around together?” Ning De’an threw out an invitation, “I’m the opposite of you. I know more about ceramics than jade.”

Shi Yunnan thought for a moment, then responded, “Okay.”

This exhibition hall was divided into three exhibition halls in total, which were linked to each other.

Even if he refused at this moment, in this space, he and Ning De’an would still frequently meet.

It was nothing more than watching the exhibition. He felt that he had a clear conscience, so there was no reason to hide.

Ning De’an smiled slightly and pointed to his favorite design in this exhibition space, “Mr. Shi, look at this one.”

Shi Yunnan followed his line of sight—it was a pair of winged birds.

One was carved and polished from white jade, while the other was fired from black porcelain.

Two winged birds, one on top of the other, hold a jade bead as a connection. The clash between black and white was particularly eye-catching.

“Black porcelain is also called Tianmu porcelain in your country, and it is one of the oldest porcelain-making techniques.”

Ning De’an’s eyes were all filled with love for the porcelain, and he treated Shi Yunnan like a listener, “Mr. Shi, look at the patterns on its feathers. They were all carved before firing in the cellar.”

The glaze was dark and symmetrical, which was extremely rare on animal black porcelain that was not symmetrical in itself.

Shi Yunnan raised his eyebrows.

This white jade carving was also rare. Not only was the jade quality of the original stone excellent, but the craftsmanship of the sculptor also wasn’t bad.

“Black porcelain is difficult to make, and white jade is difficult to carve.”

Shi Yunnan commented on his own, “Craftsmen with different craftsmanship will have differences in their skills and habits. It is indeed not easy for these two winged birds to achieve the same scale.”

Hearing Shi Yunnan’s evaluation that was almost the same as his own, Ning De’an’s light-colored pupils overflowed with a little pleasure, and the curvature of his mouth slowly expanded.

The two were getting more and more involved in the aesthetic concept of the exhibits.

It was only after Shi Yunnan finished watching the last exhibit that he realized the time had shifted to three o’clock in the afternoon.

Shi Yunnan put away his thoughts and walked outside the exhibition hall.

Ning De’an followed unhurriedly, “Does Mr. Shi have a schedule next? Or else I’ll treat you to afternoon tea?”

“After running into each other twice and talking twice, we should be able to call ourselves friends, right?”

Shi Yunnan paused slightly, and just as he was about to say no, a small figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the exhibition hall.

In less than five seconds, the other party hugged Shi Yunnan’s thigh closely.

Shi Yunnan looked down at Little Goldfish that suddenly appeared, and couldn’t react for a while.

Ning De’an narrowed his eyes and asked curiously, “Mr. Shi, who is this kid?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Little Goldfish took the lead and called Shi Yumnan, “Dad!”

“…..”

Shi Yunnan looked at Little Goldfish in a complicated and funny way.

Dad?

What’s the matter with this little guy today?

Ning De’an on the side couldn’t hide his shock. He took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Shi, are you married? This, is this your child?“

Little Goldfish, who succeeded in his plan, met Ning De’an’s gaze and nodded, “Mmmm! Yes, yes!”

He’s already married, so you’re out of luck!

Shi Yunnan finally understood what this little clever ghost was thinking, and simply picked up Little Goldfish with a smile, “Yes, I am married and very happy.”

He had never been a secretive person. Revealing his marital status could deter certain emotional attachments that shouldn’t be there.

Little Goldfish tightly hugged Shi Yunnan, quietly showing a winner’s smile.

See!

He promised his uncle!

Nobody will try to take little Uncle from under his nose!

“…..”

Ning De’an was speechless for a while.

Although the two had met twice, he had an indescribable favorable impression of Shi Yunnan. He thought that after they became friends, perhaps they could develop further.

Yet the idea ended before it had even begun.

Ning De’an suppressed the flash of disappointment in his heart and smiled, “Little baby is very cute.”

“Thank you.” Shi Yunnan took the initiative to end the meeting, saying, “We still have things to do, so we’ll leave first.”

Ning De’an regrettably watched the two leave, and a thought swept through his mind—

This is what the Chinese call an early marriage, right?

He wondered who had this good luck to become a partner with someone like Mr. Shi?

…

Shi Yunnan took Little Goldfish to the parking lot and asked, “Who brought you here? Qin Jian or Yuan Meng? Where are they?“

“Neither, I asked the driver at home to bring me here.”

Little Goldfish told the truth and even looked a little smug.

Before Little Goldfish had lunch, he heard that Shi Yunnan was going to go to the exhibition, and immediately thought of the invitation letter on the table.

Taking advantage of Shi Yunnan’s time to change clothes in the cloakroom, he secretly took a picture of the invitation letter with his children’s cell phone. When he woke up from a nap, he asked the driver to take him out.

Little Goldfish’s idea was simple. He wanted to pick up his little uncle instead of his uncle, who couldn’t get out of the hospital.

Hearing these words, Shi Yunnan’s eyebrows rarely screwed together.

Why was this temporary hired driver so unreliable? How old was Little Goldfish? Can he be taken out without the adults’ permission?

Shi Yunnan put him on the safety seat and fastened his seat belt without saying a word.

Little Goldfish noticed Shi Yunnan’s emotions, and the smile on the corner of his mouth immediately subsided, “Little uncle?”

Shi Yunan replied solemnly, “Sit tight. We will talk about today’s matters when we arrive at the hospital.”

Little Goldfish had never seen Shi Yunnan’s angry look before, and immediately sat down obediently and did not speak.

…

Luo Lingsheng had just finished this afternoon’s daily training when he saw one big and one small walk in.

Shi Yunnan’s face was stern, while Little Goldfish, who was usually so lively in front of the other party, cried with a sad face.

Luo Lingsheng was surprised, “What’s wrong?”

Shi Yunnan looked at the poor Little Goldfish and asked, “Speak for yourself. What did you do wrong today?“

With tears in his eyes, Little Goldfish consciously stood against the wall, “Little Uncle, sorry, I should not lie and call you dad in front of outsiders.”

“…..”

The focus was extremely off.

Seeing the tip of his red nose, Shi Yunnan had no choice but to be tough, “Think again, am I talking about this matter?”

“I shouldn’t have hidden it from you and uncle and let uncle driver sneak me out, I’m sorry….” Little Goldfish said as he stood up straighter.

The soft and waxy child’s voice was laced with a hint of crying that was about to collapse.

Luo Lingsheng understood what happened from these words, and suddenly lowered his voice, “Jin Yu.”

When Little Goldfish heard Luo Lingsheng’s serious tone that had not appeared in a long time, he suddenly shuddered, tears falling down, “I was wrong ah wu wu… next, no next time…“

“Why are you so mean?”

Shi Yunnan’s heart instantly softened, and he hurriedly bent down to pull Little Goldfish into his arms, not forgetting to glare at Luo Lingsheng.

“…..”

Luo Lingsheng, who had only called out his name, was helpless.

Shi Yunnan wiped away his tears with a tissue while patiently educating him, “Uncle knows you are smart, but you are still young, so you can’t just run out of the house without the permission of adults, you know?”

Fortunately, the driver was a paid errand.

Although he was careless and didn’t report it to the boss in time, fortunately, he did not use Little Goldfish to extort money.

“Understood.” Little Goldfish sniffed and didn’t forget to look at Luo Lingsheng.

Luo Lingsheng met his red eyes and made his stance clear, “Jin Yu, you know what to do.”

Little Goldfish pursed his lips and did not speak.

He took the initiative to withdraw from Shi Yunnan’s embrace and consciously thought about it against the wall.

Shi Yunnan didn’t expect this to happen, and just as he was about to step forward, Luo Lingsheng grabbed his wrist, “Let him stand.”

This was the rule Luo Lingsheng set for Little Goldfish.

If he did something wrong, he was punished by standing for ten minutes, so that he would remember.

Shi Yunnan looked at Little Goldfish, who was trying his best to stop crying while still holding up his small body, and his heart was soft, but at the same time he felt a little funny.

“Little Goldfish, turn around.”

Little Goldfish turned around, his eyes moistened with tears, looking even more aggrieved.

Shi Yunnan took the opportunity to ask, “Why did you suddenly call me dad just now?”

The word ‘Dad’ immediately made Ning De’an aware of his “married” status. How did this little clever ghost come up with it?

Little Goldfish looked at Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng, and had a clear realization in his heart—

In this family, Little Uncle has the final say!

In order to calm Shi Yunnan down, he didn’t hesitate to throw his own uncle under the bus, saying, “Little uncle! It was uncle who was jealous and asked me to watch you. He was afraid you would run away with other people!“

“…..”

Luo Lingsheng was dumbfounded. He really raised a good nephew.

When Shi Yunnan heard the confession, he met his lover’s guilty gaze with a forced smile, “Oh?”

The author has something to say:

Patriarch: The person sitting in the hospital bed still received the pot from the nephew.
