“Is that so?” Lin Yiqian raised her brows at Gu Nianshen yet again.
“She’s just a woman who sings. She doesn’t have that kind of power yet.” Gu Nianshen snorted without hesitation, despite secretly feeling guilty inside.
In other words, he was denying the accusation that he had personally approached the singer in the past.
‘Yuck!’ Lin Yiqian thought.
Who was the person who had initiated a conversation with her during the party? Who had reached for her hand? Although it was part of a plan to get Li Nanmu to address him in ancestral terms, why did he stoop so low as to make use of a female singer?
If he were so high and mighty, he ought not to have asked a female singer to drink with him or let her see him drunk.
‘What a poser!’ Lin Yiqian thought to herself.
As she cursed at Gu Nianshen in her mind, she began to speak sarcastically. “I heard that Catwoman is very proud. She would only participate in events based on the level of importance to her. In fact, she doesn’t even give a damn about the English royal family. Mr. Gu, you are very amazing.”
It was clear Lin Yiqian was being sarcastic.
However, Li Nanmu and the others thought she was being protective of Catwoman because she really idolized her.
“Another hardcore fan of Catwoman, for sure. Her idol is even more important than her husband, just like Nianjia.” Li Nanmu tutted as he shook her head.
Hearing this, Gu Nianshen instantly felt a pang of jealousy.
Not only was he lesser in her eyes when compared to other men, but now even women held a higher importance.
Li Nanmu was determined to get Catwoman to participate in their celebration.
“Nianshen, your wife and sister both like Catwoman a lot. You must get Catwoman to attend, even if you have to beg her on your knees.”
‘Beg on my knees?’ Gu Nianshen thought.
Was Gu Nianshen expected to beg a female singer on his knees?
Right then, Gu Nianshen gave Li Nanmu a cold look, which seemed to say ‘you might want to rephrase your sentence’.
“I can get Miss Catwoman to come.’ Lin Xiaoyu’s childish voice was suddenly heard.
As Lin Xiaoyu spoke, he walked up to Li Nanmu with his head raised.
Lin Yiqian held her breath nervously. She wanted to go over and carry Xiaoyu away.
However, if she did so, it might be more likely for her identity to become exposed. She should perhaps play along for now.
Naturally, Li Nanmu would not believe what a child said. “Stop blowing your own trumpet, kiddo. There’s nothing for you to do here. Step aside.”
He waved his hand dismissively at Xiaoyu before returning his gaze to Gu Nianshen.
After all, Gu Nianshen was perhaps the only person who could get Catwoman to attend their event.
“Hmph. I’ll ask Miss Catwoman to ignore you.” Lin Xiaoyu crossed his arms in a huff as he was upset that Li Nanmu would not believe him.
This helped Gu Nianshen to ascertain the fact that Catwoman was his mother.
As he thought of this, Gu Nianshen looked over at Li Nanmu. “Perhaps you might actually get what you want if you ask for this kid’s help.”
“Nianshen, be serious.” Li Nanmu was not happy about being teased.
“I’m being serious. It’s okay if you don’t believe me.” Gu Nianshen shrugged.
Gu Nianshen seemed as if he was on to something, which made Lin Yiqian feel worried.
“Why do you say so, Gu Nianshen?” Lin Yiqian probed.
“Because…”
Gu Nianshen was hesitating to speak what he had on his mind.
After pausing momentarily, he changed his tone. “Hasn’t he met the singer before? The singer even held him in her arms. Perhaps she might agree if he asked.”
Hearing this, Li Nanmu and Qin Feng turned to look at Lin Xiaoyu.
“I’d have totally forgotten about this child if you hadn’t mentioned him.”
“This is the child you mentioned during Galaxy’s show…” They suddenly recalled.
