Special Effects Pheromone - Chap 21
Yu Zhao quickly withdrew his hand and said, “Mr. Gao, have you had too much to drink?”
Gao Bohua also realized that he shouldn’t have touched his hand. If someone saw it, things could get complicated.
Gao Bohua coughed twice and said, “I haven’t drunk much. Well, let me accompany you home first, and then explain slowly.”
Yu Zhao dodged slightly, a guarded look in his eyes, and said, “No need, I can go home by myself.”
Gao Bohua hurriedly said, “Really! You…” Saying that, Gao Bohua took out his phone from his pocket and pulled up a photo from his gallery. “Look, this is the result of the DNA test between him and me.”
Yu Zhao was stunned and took the phone to see a test report. Still, he couldn’t believe it, “Is this…”
Gao Bohua swiped his finger to the left on the phone screen, and another photo appeared: it was Qu Jing’s adoption certificate.
“Qu Jing…” Yu Zhao widened his eyes, “He was adopted?”
Gao Bohua nodded, with a slightly regretful tone, “Yes, he was adopted. His original name isn’t Qu Jing; it should have been Gao Boyang.”
Yu Zhao paused for a moment, asking, “Then why is he called Qu Jing now?”
“Because he was adopted by the Qu family,” Gao Bohua answered.
Yu Zhao felt a sudden sadness, “Why? Did your Gao family abandon him?”
Gao Bohua’s expression became somewhat strange, “Well… why are you saying it like that?”
Yu Zhao should have been very polite to Gao Bohua, as it was the autumn of being involved in many things, and Gao Bohua’s deal was something Yu Zhao had to strive for. However, Yu Zhao couldn’t help but be irritated by Gao Bohua’s words, “I just saw the adoption certificate, and it had the welfare institution’s name on it. If he were from your family, why would he be in a welfare institution? While you’re a rich young master! If he’s your good brother, why does he act like a stranger to you?”
“Well… well…” Gao Bohua was pressed by Yu Zhao’s questioning, and his face was a bit hard to maintain. After a while, he said, “It’s not like I abandoned him! When he went to the welfare institution, I hadn’t been born yet!”
Yu Zhao thought about it and found it reasonable. This matter couldn’t be blamed on Gao Bohua.
It was only now that Yu Zhao remembered Gao Bohua was his client and quickly apologized, “I was reckless; I’m really sorry…”
Gao Bohua waved his hand, saying, “It’s nothing; you are still my sister in law. So it’s allowed.”
“Don’t… don’t say that.” Yu Zhao shook his head and said, “Mr. Gao, let’s keep it formal.”
Gao Bohua said, “This matter is a bit complicated. I can’t tell you more. You can ask Qu Jing when you go back. I didn’t lie to you. Originally, I wanted to cooperate with Qu Jing, to get closer to each other. But he didn’t pay much attention to me. Fortunately, with your help, we finally had a chance to talk. I have you to thank.”
When Yu Zhao introduced Gao Bohua to Qu Jing, he wanted to show off in front of Qu Jing. Unexpectedly, there was a grudge between Qu Jing and Gao Bohua. He was ignorant and forcefully brought Gao Bohua to have a meal with Qu Jing. Qu Jing was so calm and composed, not showing any signs of displeasure. They chatted happily at the dining table, and nothing seemed amiss.
The more Yu Zhao thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He said “excuse me” to Gao Bohua and walked out. Gao Bohua stopped him and said, “Sister-in-law, it’s late, and this place is not safe. Let me escort you, okay?”
Yu Zhao frowned, “It’s not necessary.”
Saying that, he sent a message to Qu Jing, asking where he was. After sending the message, he put his phone back in his pocket and walked out of the bar. Gao Bohua followed him, and Yu Zhao felt helpless, saying, “I’m a grown man; I’ll be fine.”
However, Gao Bohua was still worried, “This is Bar Street, full of unknown elements. You’re an OMEGA beauty; how can it be safe?”
Being referred to as a “beauty” didn’t make Yu Zhao happy at all. Just as he was about to retort, he heard his phone ringing in his pocket. He picked up the phone and found it was Qu Jing calling, so he answered, “Mr. Qu?”
“Didn’t I ask you to call me husband?” Qu Jing’s chuckling voice came through the phone.
Yu Zhao glanced at Gao Bohua standing beside him, feeling a bit embarrassed, but replied, “Why are you suddenly calling me?”
“Didn’t you suddenly send me a message?” Qu Jing smiled, “After not seeing each other for a few hours, do you miss me?”
Originally, Yu Zhao was already easily embarrassed in front of Qu Jing. Now, with a person staring at him, he felt even more awkward. He put down his phone and said to Gao Bohua, “Can you not follow me?”
Seeing that Yu Zhao was making a call, Gao Bohua felt it was inappropriate to eavesdrop and stepped back a few steps.
Yu Zhao picked up the phone again and said, “Okay husband.”
Qu Jing asked, “Is someone following you?”
It seemed that Qu Jing had heard Yu Zhao’s words, “Can you not follow me?”
Yu Zhao felt a bit embarrassed and said, “Yes. It’s… someone I know.”
Qu Jing heard Yu Zhao’s vague words and said, “Where are you?”
Yu Zhao lowered his head and kicked a stone on the ground, “I’m on Bar Street.”
Qu Jing’s voice became somewhat heavy, “I’ll come to find you.”
