The full moon wine celebration was held at the Li family’s mansion, and although it was called a full moon wine, it resembled more of a ball or dance party. The food was arranged in a buffet style on shelves, and the patriarch and matriarch of the Li family sat on the frontmost sofa, continuously receiving congratulations from various guests.
There was music playing in the room, and the voices of the people talking were not loud. it didn’t seem noisy like the usual parties.
The second son of the Li family was like a busy bee, running around to greet guests, while Li Yingjun huddled in a corner and ate silently, trying to avoid talking to his seven aunts and eight aunts.
“Yingjun.” Among the people from the Li family, Jiao Qi was quite familiar with Li Yingjun, so he called out to him as soon as he entered the door.
“You’re here.” Li Yingjun said, setting down the food in his hand. He glanced discreetly at the sofa in the distance, a gesture that led Jiao Qi to mistakenly think that the person before him was Gao Shiqing.
“Why are you acting like a thief?” Zhang Chenfei glanced at him sideways.
“Ai, don’t even mention it. This is my brother’s second child.” Li Yingjun said, his usually smiling face now wearing a rare expression of bitterness. While his brother had already had a second child, he was still a bachelor. He rarely came home, and today was an exception. He was afraid of being nagged by his parents, so he kept his distance.
Led by Li Yingjun, they went to greet the elders. Mr. Li warmly called them over to sit. With a rosy face due to having grandchildren, Mr. Li exchanged pleasantries before the conversation naturally shifted to the topic of the grandchildren. “The child just went to sleep; otherwise, I could have shown you both. You two are not young anymore. When are you going to have a child? A prosperous family relies on a prosperous lineage.”
Jiao Qi smiled awkwardly and realised why his father insisted that he go over. It turned out he was waiting for this moment. Last time, he had made it clear to his family that they were not allowed to pressure Zhang Chenfei into having children. It was his own decision not to have children. Jiao Zouren found this roundabout way to let others persuade him.
“How can we, two men, have children?” Sensing his wife’s discomfort, Marshal Zhang held his hand and frowned.
Old man Li sneered, remarking that these young people thought he was unaware of advanced technology. If it weren’t for knowing about surrogacy, he wouldn’t have agreed to let Li Yingjun go on a blind date with a man in the first place. “You two have the money, and even though there will only be one biological connection, raising a child from a young age won’t have an issue.”
Surrogacy was illegal in China, but it was available in many countries. This method was the choice of many wealthy couples now. But Jiao Qi just couldn’t get over the hurdle in his heart, and felt upset whenever this was mentioned, so he pinched his Lao Gong’s hand and indicating him to get up and leave quickly with him.

The people around looked over one after another, surprised that the head of the Li family who had just passed sixty was so old-fashioned. How could he suggest others to have an illegitimate child, especially in front of the two husbands?
“Ah?” Mr. Li was at a loss.
Jiao Qi quickly nudged Big Dick Zhang, and pulled him to stand up. “The company has a new project going live tonight, so we won’t stay any more… Ai…”
Zhang Chenfei pulled his wife into his arms and sneered, saying, “I have openly discussed this matter before. It’s one thing to talk about it in front of me, but if Jiao Qi hears this again, don’t blame me, Zhang Chenfei, for turning my back on you!”
“Chenfei!” The stupefied Jiao Qi hurriedly tried to stop him in a low voice, but it was already too late.
In the business world, there were often many acquaintances, and most of the people present had some connection with Zhang Chenfei. They were not too surprised to hear his words. This indicated that Zhang Chenfei had indeed said this before…
Before Jiao Qi could smooth things over, Zhang Chenfei half-dragged and half-carried him out of the Li family’s mansion, leaving the dumbfounded guests and Li family behind.
“Dad, how can you suggest someone to adopt an illegitimate child?” The second brother of the Li family came over and scolded his father. He was standing far away, so did not hear what his father said clearly, and only heard Zhang Chenfei’s angry voice.
The guests could not help but whisper:
“Zhang Chenfei protects Jiao Qi like the apple of his eyes, so you can’t make such a joke in front of him.”
“Yeah, last time I remembered a friend made a thoughtless comment, and later…”
“Who suggested him to have an illegitimate child!” Mr. Li was trembling with anger, “I suggested them to go for surrogacy.”
“Even Uncle Jiao doesn’t even dare to persuade them. Why are you getting involved?” Li Yingjun disagreed with his father’s approach, and explained the ins and outs of what happened to the guests along the way.
Everyone immediately understood that it was because Jiao Zuoren didn’t dare to persuade him so he asked his old friend to be the villain. However, Mr. Li didn’t explain clearly, which caused Zhang Chenfei to misunderstand.
Old man Li became even more furious upon hearing this and pointed his cane at his youngest son. “How dare you say that? They at least got married, what about you? You’re of age and don’t even have a stable partner yet.”
Li Yingjun who was shot suddenly: “…..”
Inside the house, it was chaotic as if chickens were flying and dogs were jumping, but outside it was peaceful. This was a large villa area in the suburbs, where all the houses were over 500 square metres and stood alone. The neighbours were far apart from each other, and on nights with clear moonlight and sparse stars, it was very quiet.
“I shouldn’t have come empty-handed today. If I had brought a thousand people with me, they wouldn’t dare to fart!” The warlord was so angry that he was panting heavily, regretting not bringing a gun with him.
“Say a few words less.” Jiao Qi had a terrible headache, and dragged him to drive.
“Don’t worry, I won’t marry any concubines, I only want you.” Zhang Chenfei frowned, lifted up his little wife, and put him in the passenger seat.
Jiao Qi looked up at him. “Chenfei, you…. really don’t want children?” He had wanted to ask him about this matter several weeks ago but didn’t know how to bring it up. Apart from their initial agreement when they got married, they hadn’t discussed the topic of children in years. People’s thoughts can change over time, and he was afraid that Chenfei might regret it so he didn’t dare to bring it up himself.
“Tut, I’m just a mountain bandit. Why would I want children?” Zhang Chenfei chuckled and bent down to caress his little wife’s face. “We’re in the midst of a war now, and we can’t afford to be distracted. If we were to have a child and end up neglecting them like my father did, it would be like committing sins.”
“What if there is no war, then?”
“How about it, will you bear me a child?” Marshal Zhang raised an eyebrow and smirked. He pressed the backrest button, flipping over and pinning his little wife to the seat. “If you bear me a child, I’ll cherish it. Shall we give it a try?”
“Go! Go! Go!”
Despite another failed attempt to communicate with the warlord, Jiao Qi had a better understanding of his intentions. He felt a mix of happiness and concern, and when they went to bed that night, he took the initiative to him. The unresolved conflict between his family’s Lao Gong and his father was full of contradictions, and Jiao Qi couldn’t advise him to forgive. All he could do was hold him tight when he was sad.
Being embraced by his little wife, Marshal Zhang was flattered. He grinned and buried his face into the thin, muscular fabric of his pyjamas, contently taking deep breaths.
The next day, the responsible and diligent Qiangzi stood at the door of the president’s office early. “Good morning, sister-in-law!”
“Qiangzi, you don’t have to stand here all the time.” Jiao Qi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “There’s a security lounge over there in the lobby.”
Upon hearing that his sister-in-law wanted to send him away, Qiangzi immediately shook his head like a rattle. “No, no, I’m not tired.”
Unable to control Qiangzi’s determination, Jiao Qi let him be and pushed open the President’s office door. As he walked in, he checked with Yu Yuan about the schedule for the day. “What time is Mr. Ōno’s appointment?”
“At ten o’clock…”
The voices of the two gradually disappeared with the closure of the president’s office, but Qiangzi was shocked. The surname “Ōno”, it sounded Japanese! He quickly sent a message to Zhang Chenfei:
【Fei ge, something is wrong!】
At ten o’clock in the morning, Mr. Ōno, wearing a black suit, entered the Bajiao Building with a briefcase.
On the side of Bajiao Square, a black Maybach was parked silently. The window slowly rolled down, revealing the handsome and profound face of Marshal Zhang.
He had already warned his little wife not to have any contact with Japanese people, so why was he being disobedient?
He recalled the events of the past few days.
I will go with you…
Show me your emails…
In the first few days after entering the door, he followed me and saw the headquarters, learning about the location of the battlefield…
Could it be that he really was the Japanese’s undercover agent?
Oh no Marchal, don’t do anything 😂😂😂
Ono…
