Almost at the same time as hearing Fang Lao's "Hongjie", Zhang Haoguan subconsciously fished the cub standing in front of him into his arms, and touched the cub's head with his big hand to prevent the little guy from looking up at Ning Hongjie.

He didn't mind letting Ning Hongjie know that he had a close relationship with Mu Shuyao's mother and son, he just didn't want the cub to be uncomfortable seeing Ning Hongjie.

However, Ning Hongjie had already seen Zhang Haoguan, but he was by no means a person who liked to be in shape, and in front of an old-timer like Fang Lao, it was even more impossible for him to put his personal hatred in the face of his name to ruin today's festive occasion.

He nodded lightly at Zhang Haoguan, "Boss Zhang!" ”

Zhang Haoguan naturally smiled back at him, "Mr. Ning! ”

The subordinates wanted to take the cub to the other side without a trace, however, Ning Hongjie's gaze naturally glanced down, and before the two of them could think about it, Fang Lao on the opposite side smiled at Ning Hongjie.

"Hongjie, you and Haoguan are about the same age, it's time to think about the child."

Fang Lao knew the truth about Zhang Haoguan's birth, so even if Zhang Haoguan didn't say it explicitly, he still automatically regarded the cub as Zhang Haoguan's son.

And Ning Hongjie was a young man who was also appreciated by Elder Fang, so he unconsciously said such a sentence in a half-joking and half-preachy tone.

Ning Hongjie has regarded Zhang Haoguan as a great enemy over the years, of course, with Zhang Haoguan's background and identity, there are many things that he can't find, but Zhang Haoguan has a child, he intuitively feels impossible.

So, his inquiring eyes swept down from the fluffy little head under Zhang Haoguan's hand.

The cub didn't know what the conversation between several adults was talking about, because the little guy had just received a big red envelope, and he was thinking about hiding it and buying something to make Mommy happy when it was Mommy's birthday.

He held Zhang Haoguan's big # leg with one small hand, and with the other little fat hand, he quietly stuffed the big red envelope given by Fang Lao into the pocket of the small suit.

Ning Hongjie stared at the fleshy little fat hand for a moment, and then, a paragraph seemed to rush out of his mouth without thinking.

"Elder Fang, I'm sorry, I kept it a secret from you before, I have a child, more than four years old, and it's a boy."

Ning Hongjie's words not only surprised Boss Fang, but even Zhang Haoguan was taken aback, he stared at Ning Hongjie in surprise, thinking that the other party had recognized the cub.

However, Ning Hongjie then said, "However, please help me keep this matter secret." ”

Fang Lao: "Oh? "Why?" Don't you want to tell the world about such a happy event and let your family and friends share the happiness with you? ”

Ning Hongjie lowered his eyes and glanced at the little child who had always lowered his head and never showed him a straight face, and his heart was inexplicably a little sour.

"It's not time to ...... yet"

Fang Lao was stunned again, because, this time, he heard it clearly, Ning Hongjie's tone was actually stunned. When I looked up at him again, I saw at a glance that his handsome eyebrows were full of loneliness.

Even if Fang Lao is an ordinary person, he will be much more transparent than a young man when he lives to this age, not to mention, this is an old man who is very good in all aspects, he has lived for eighty years, and it is impossible to say that he is a good person.

"Okay, I'll forget if I hear this, but I'm still happy for you......"

Fang Lao stretched out his hand and patted Ning Hongjie's arm, which could be regarded as comfort, "Come to me after eating and help me bring something back to your grandfather." ”

Ning Hongjie nodded in response, and when he left, he nodded slightly at Zhang Haoguan.

Zhang Haoguan watched him walk away and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Elder Fang also stared at Ning Hongjie's back for a while, "This kid, I didn't expect it to be a lover!" ”

Fang Lao was purely emotional, after all, he didn't know the entanglements and grievances between Ning Hongjie and Zhang Haoguan.

Zhang Haoguan raised his eyebrows, this answer was too unexpected for him.

"Lovers?"

Zhang Haoguan subconsciously covered the cub's ears with two hands, although he had already discovered that the little guy and Ning Hongjie were not familiar enough to distinguish his voice, and the little guy at this time was immersed in his own happy world, but he still wanted to be on the safe side, and he didn't want the little guy to know that the person just now was his father by blood.

Whether it is Zhang Haoguan or Ning Hongjie, they are the two juniors that Fang Lao values very much, and at the same time, they are also very trusting.

Therefore, Fang Lao snorted at Ning Hongjie's back.

"That guy has been separated from his ex-wife for more than five years, and his parents have introduced him to many girls, but he has rejected them."

Zhang Haoguan was even more surprised, "Then the eldest lady of the Chen family ......"

Zhang Haoguan's purpose of inquiring was very obvious, and Fang Lao didn't care much, he watched Zhang Haoguan grow up and trusted his character.

"That's just wishful thinking on the part of his parents, but this matter really slaps the Chen family in the face, but there is no way, because the girl of the Chen family has been chasing Hong Jie for the past few years, and she looks like she is not a gentleman and will not marry."

Zhang Haoguan can know these things as long as he has the heart and inquires.

It's just that he always thought that Ning Hongjie might have a slight affection for Mu Shuyao, but not to the point of being as persistent as Elder Fang said.

"Then he just ...... that kid"

Since Zhang Haoguan inquired, he was determined to inquire to the end.

Elder Fang glanced at the cub, "I'm afraid it's the same as this kid......"

He thought that Zhang Haoguan would understand, but Zhang Haoguan was so frightened by his words that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

Elder Fang glanced at him, "How did you come back then, how did this kid come here?" As for Hong Jie, I'm afraid I'm annoyed by his parents, so I'll follow your example and get a child out on an errand. ”

Zhang Haoguan wanted to clear up his relationship with the little guy before, but now, he didn't want to say anything more, so he just misunderstood Fang Lao.

"Then trouble Grandpa Fang to help me keep it secret......"

Old Fang glared at him, "What do you need me to keep secrets, you big Zhang family, isn't it your word now, you don't have to explain anything to others." Don't worry, I'm too lazy to care about you young people. ”

Zhang Haoguan smiled and said thank you, bent over and picked up the little guy, "How many tables shall I sit at?" I'll take the cubs over ......"

Elder Fang pointed to the master's seat, "Whichever table do you want to sit on, just sit next to me." ”

Zhang Haoguan wanted to dodge, but the butler had already led him over, and sure enough, his name was glued to the back of the chair.

"Hao Shao, you and the little master sit first, and I will ask people to prepare children's chairs."

Zhang Haoguan nodded, hugged the cub and looked around a few times.

This banquet hall can accommodate more than 100 tables, and now the guests are almost here, bustling, where can I see Ning Hongjie's shadow?

Zhang Haoguan breathed a sigh of relief, and then lowered his eyes to look at the little guy sitting on his big # lap who was holding chopsticks and tinkling bowls and cups as musical instruments.
