The female reporter who was closest overheard and looked over. She was instantly smitten, covering her face in delight, "So cute..."
Grandpa Jiujiu was truly a natural talent at attracting fans. All the women at the scene who saw Jiujiuâs adorable face instantly became his fans.
One of the few people who still had their wits about asked Gu Liancheng, "Mr. Gu! Could you please tell us whatâs going on? Not long ago, you announced you had a daughter, and now youâre also announcing a son. Are they perhaps twins?"
Looking at their similar sizes, it was a reasonable assumption.
Gu Liancheng crouched down, making himself the same height as Jiujiu, and said to the media, "Yes, although I donât think I need to confirm this, you must have all noticed by now. This is indeed my son."
The resemblance between the father and son was so striking that there was no need to verify it. Even DNA testing could be skipped.
"May we ask, were the twins born to you and your ex-wife, Mrs. Gu?"
The reporter hit the nail on the head with her question.
Gu Liancheng flashed a small smile, "What do you think?"
Even before the reporters could speculate further, he confirmed it himself, "Of course, they are."
The crowd gasped.
Actually, after Gu Mengmeng was introduced to the public, there werenât many suspicions raised. Some suggested that the Gu Family, disliking girls, had hidden this child away to avoid public attention.
But the sonâs public introduction rendered these speculations invalid.
So, others began to wonder if the son was fathered by Gu Liancheng and a mistress, hence why he wasnât made public initially. Otherwise, why was it that he only appeared in public after Gu Liancheng and his ex-wife divorced?
However, Gu Lianchengâs answer left everyone puzzled.
"Mr. Gu! If so, why did you and Mrs. Gu divorce? Why not reconsider for the sake of the two children?"
"As for the matter of marriage, I believe Iâve been clear enough before. I wonât be commenting further. Shortly after, my PR department will release a detailed announcement explaining, thank you. âJiujiu, letâs go."
He took Jiujiuâs small hand, and they got into the car, leaving behind a group of media reporters consumed with unanswered questions.
"Who wouldâve thought there was a secret Little Prince."
"But what on earth is going on! Mrs. Gu has two little treasures, and she still couldnât keep Gu Liancheng? This is utterly unbelievable!"
Previously some guessed that Mrs. Gu was abandoned because she couldnât produce a son, but now the situation was totally different.
Media outlets hurried back with their notes, each one calling an emergency meeting to discuss how they would report on this story.
...
"Puffââ"
Eleven spat out a mouthful of her drink.
Cute casually handed her some tissues, "Whatâs the matter with you?"
"Look at your dad and your brother, whatâs going on with them!"
Eleven and Cute hadnât even gone out yet, they were eating takeout for lunch. While scrolling through Weibo, they saw the announcement made by their companyâs public relations department.
Looking at all the hot topics, numerous photos of father and son shopping together had been posted everywhere.
Cute peeped over, "Oh wow, Jiujiuâs finally gone public!" She remarked, opening the television which was replaying the segment, "Jiujiu truly is Mr. Guâs son, so handsome! Just like him, so cute!"
Eleven, wiping her mouth, was shocked by this sudden news.
"Heâs making my son go public, why didnât he give me a heads up!"
