Chapter 18 - Sing a Children’s Song for My Child

Ji Naitang had paid attention to Cen Muqi for twelve years, but it was from far away, after all. He hadn’t had the opportunity to get close to him, so he had never seen such a relaxed Cen Muqi.

The more he got close to Cen Muqi, the more he seemed to love him. He had originally thought that it would be enough if he just stayed by him for a period of time. But now, he discovered that he seemed to have become greedy.

The group of people went to a nearby karaoke place after eating. Ji Naitang sat quietly next to Cen Muqi with a beverage in his hands. Only he was drinking a beverage there. The main reason was because his injuries hadn’t fully healed yet.

“Let me sing ‘Love Even After Death’ for everyone.”

Leng Qifei stood up with the microphone. Everyone started covering their ears. Ji Naitang didn’t pay any attention at first. When Leng Qifei sang the first line, he finally knew why everyone was covering their ears.

It sounded really bad. Where did his tone ran off to?

“He was born tone deaf, but he likes singing. He enrolled in a vocal class when he was young. He even took away the teacher’s tone.”

Ji Naitang listened to Cen Muqi talking about the past and he couldn’t help but laugh. Cen Muqi saw that he truly liked hearing it, so he continued talking.

“What are you two whispering about over there?” Leng Qifei roared out a song and went over to nudge Ji Naitang’s shoulder. “Little Chick, go pick a song.”

“I can’t sing.”

“You can’t sing, but your dad can. Go pick out ‘Eagle Catching a Chick’ for your dad.”

Ji Naitang was speechless for a while, but he still turned to ask Cen Muqi, “CEO Cen, what do you want to sing?”

“I also can’t sing.” Cen Muqi smiled. “But I can make an exception if you call me ‘dad.’”

“A hen is a mom. Old Hen, I’ll go pick the ‘Only Mom is Good in the World.’” Ji Naitang stood up and went over to pick songs.

Leng Qifei sat in Ji Naitang’s place. “Such spirited and cute little rabbit. Why do you have the same taste? The one you were talking about last time seemed to have the same personality? Aren’t you tired of it?”

Cen Muqi picked up his wineglass and clinked it against Leng Qifei’s. He took a sip before replying. “It’s been so long, but you still remember it so clearly.”

“So you know that it’s been a long time? We brothers thought that you can’t forget about him or you have some problems in that regard. But I heard Liu Zi say that he’s Yao Yuanjing’s person?”

Cen Muqi smiled without speaking. Leng Qifei put away his playful expression. He said seriously, “He looks very well-behaved and cute. But, Qi, it is very unlikely that someone who can stay with someone like Yao Yuanjing for so many years is completely innocent and harmless.”

His meaning was very obvious: Ji Naitang might not be as innocent and sweet as he seemed on the surface. After all, Yao Yuanjing was a famous playboy. But no matter how many affairs he had, he had kept Ji Naitang around. It could only be said that Ji Naitang had some good tricks.

Cen Muqi didn’t refute and said, “I allow him to have some schemes. It’s fine as long as he doesn’t touch my bottom line.”

“It’s fine as long as you know. Don’t blame us brothers for not reminding you if you play too hard.” Leng Qifei saw Ji Naitang coming back and stood up.

“Which song did you pick?”

Ji Naitang looked up and said, “They made me pick a song too, so I picked one for us both.”

Cen Muqi didn’t ask which songs, because Liu Zi had handed him the microphone already. He looked at the screen and saw that the title was “Eagle Catching a Chick.”

Li Zi laughed and said, “Qi, it’s rare for you to sing even in a hundred years. We thought that you didn’t like singing. So it turns out that we just have different tastes. Hahaha……”

The other people laughed too. Cen Muqi reached out to take the microphone. His voice contained a smile. “I have no choice. I have to sing a children’s song for my child.”

He then looked at Ji Naitang. Ji Naitang’s face was red because of the words “my child.” Then he heard Cen Muqi sing, “Eagle catching a chick. Eagle catching a chick. Aiyoyo. Eagle runs to the east and the west. The chick follows the mother hen. Aiyoyo. Aiyoyo. Hides this way and hides that way. Hides here and hides there. Aiyoyo. Aiyoyo……”

The entire room broke out into laughter. Leng Qifei laughed until he couldn’t straighten his back. In such an environment, Cen Muqi actually didn’t laugh and sang the whole children’s song. And he even sounded very nice.
