Chapter 99 -96: Did I Forget to Pass on the ‘Love Brain’ Gene When I Gave Birth to You?
Lu Wenling: “I knew it! All these years you’ve never had a girlfriend, and you’re closest to me—you must have a thing for me!
All that about taking a fancy to Chen Xixi, I bet that’s just a smokescreen, right? Or maybe Chen Xixi is my stand-in! I always said it’s not normal for a creepy old man not to have been in a relationship for twenty-seven years. Let me tell you, you’ll never have me!”
Zhou Jinyuan looked at Lu Wenling as if he were a fool: “…You’re such a drama queen. Go become a celebrity at Nanxing Entertainment tomorrow, quit being a CEO, you’re wasting your talents.”
Who’s the real weirdo between the two of them now?
Lu Wenling, seeing that Zhou Jinyuan wasn’t joking around, realized he might have overthought it and returned to normal, saying, “There’s no such ‘if,’ because I’m a straight man through and through!”
Zhou Jinyuan pinched the bridge of his nose and ignored Lu Wenling, finding communicating with him a bit tiresome.
But Lu Wenling wasn’t tired at all, he even picked up the scent of juicy gossip and curiously asked, “You don’t like me either, so what did you mean by the question you asked just now? What ‘liking a guy’?”
Jin Cheng’s words from this morning had distracted Zhou Jinyuan from his work all day.
Deep down, Zhou Jinyuan didn’t believe Chen Xixi was a man, but Jin Cheng said he saw Chen Xixi going to the men’s health clinic for a checkup, and even though he didn’t fully trust his not-so-smart nephew, it still left a strange feeling in his heart.
What if there was that one in ten thousand chance that his dumb nephew was right?
So the more he thought about it, the more bizarre it seemed.
Seeing Zhou Jinyuan continue to drink sullenly without paying him any attention, Lu Wenling widened his eyes and boldly speculated: “Bro, have you turned gay? Tell me, who did it!”
Zhou Jinyuan gave him a cold glance and gifted him with a single word: “Scram.”
If there really was that one in ten thousand chance that Chen Xixi wasn’t a woman, then he was straight—he couldn’t be with a man.
Absolutely impossible.
A grown man’s self-regulation ability is strong.
After successfully calming himself down, Zhou Jinyuan put down his glass and prepared to leave, when his phone on the table lit up.
It was Jin Cheng calling to tell him that he didn’t need to get involved in the game competition anymore.
Actually, he hadn’t planned on getting involved to begin with.
If people with ulterior motives found out that he invested in the game to help Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng win the international competition.
Leaving Jin Cheng aside, the outside voices would definitely cause Chen Xixi a lot of trouble.
So it wasn’t that he didn’t want to help, but helping would only add to Chen Xixi’s troubles.
After hanging up the call, he returned home.
Zhou Jinyuan went into the study and took out a photograph from the drawer of the bookshelf.
The girl in the photograph had a bright smile typical of youthful girls, infectious and bringing pleasure to anyone who looked at it, as if it could heal all emotions shrouded in gloom.
He had always thought it was the most beautiful smile in the world, and he still thought so now.
But gradually… the face in the photograph seemed to suddenly transform into that of a man…
Zhou Jinyuan was taken aback.
He raised his hand and massaged his forehead, then put the photograph back in the drawer, face down.
He must have drunk too much, the alcohol must have been making him hallucinate.
The next morning.
Wearing dark-colored home clothes, Zhou Jinyuan leaned lazily against the balcony, his profound eyes conveying a faint weariness.
All night, he dreamt of Chen Xixi turning into a man, the feeling was very eerie, and even after waking up, the scene lingered in his mind.
“President Zhou, Mrs. Zhou is here.”
Assistant Xu’s voice suddenly came from beside him.
His thoughts gathered, he turned and went downstairs.
In the living room on the first floor, Zhou Jinyuan saw the woman sitting on the sofa, his brows slightly furrowed: “Mom, why are you here?”
Zhen Mei Qiu looked at her no-account son, rolled her eyes, and said, “Why am I here? Don’t you know why I came? Why didn’t you go to the blind date I arranged for you a few days ago? Instead, you signed yourself up to participate in a reality show rather than dealing with your own lifelong matters. What were you thinking!”
Zhou Jinyuan walked over to the sofa with unhurried long strides and sat down, “Don’t you love it when I win prizes? Now you can go out and boast to your close friends again.”
Since Zhou Jinyuan was young, Zhen Mei Qiu had enrolled him in all kinds of competitions, and she always pressured him to win prizes, so she could show off to her friends how outstanding her son was.
But this time…
Zhen Mei Qiu scoffed, “Boast about what! Brag that I have a special Stomach King that I can show off? What’s there to be proud of! To be honest, I’m too embarrassed to show this trophy to anyone!”
Zhou Jinyuan responded unperturbed: “I think it’s quite good.”
“Is that Stomach King trophy so important? What our family needs is to carry on the lineage, not a Stomach King!” Zhen Mei Qiu couldn’t understand as she looked at Zhou Jinyuan, “Did I forget to pass on the ‘love brain’ gene when I gave birth to you?”
Zhen Mei Qiu felt it was a terrible oversight!
What’s the use of being able to make money if you can’t continue the lineage and have a chubby baby for her to play with!
It made her spend hours every day on live streaming platforms, hard controlling her urges upon seeing cute babies, and then sparing no expense to tip the streamers, raising her grandchildren through the cloud.
Zhen Mei Qiu sighed and continued with heartfelt emphasis, “You’re already twenty-seven. People your age already have children old enough to run errands!”
Zhou Jinyuan, who had already successfully self-regulated the night before, said, “I might not be able to fulfill the responsibility of carrying on the family line. If you really envy other people’s children who can run errands, you can also try to have another one who can do so.”
He was straight; he couldn’t possibly be with a man, but if the other party was the one-in-a-million chance of being Chen Xixi…
Subconsciously, he still wanted to try.
And he also had to prepare Zhen Mei Qiu psychologically.

Otherwise, he worried that Zhen Mei Qiu might get mad in the moment of shock.
Zhen Mei Qiu’s eyebrows furrowed, “What do you mean? How could you possibly not be able to carry on the family line? So many beautiful girls are pursuing you, what if you agreed to one, what could go wrong? Would you be sentenced?”
“I’m not interested in those women.”
When Zhen Mei Qiu heard Zhou Jinyuan mention that he might not be able to carry on the family line and that he wasn’t interested in beautiful women, the usually progressive-thinking Zhen Mei Qiu suddenly felt like she had uncovered the truth!
Zhen Mei Qiu excitedly grabbed Zhou Jinyuan’s hand, her eyes revealing a faint sadness, “Son, tell your mother honestly, do you have some kind of issue? If something’s not working, we can go to the hospital to have it checked out. Don’t worry, our family has money, we can hire the best doctors in the world to treat you, you don’t have to worry…”
Zhou Jinyuan really didn’t want to go on a blind date, and his situation with Chen Xixi… was complicated…
After all, Chen Xixi couldn’t even remember his name yet.
If Zhen Mei Qiu found out now that he was interested in Chen Xixi, the radical and progressive Zhen Mei Qiu might just do something inconceivable for the sake of grandchildren.
By that time, he wouldn’t have even won her over yet, and Zhen Mei Qiu’s bizarre methods might scare her off.
Weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Jinyuan decided to go with the flow and said lightly to Zhen Mei Qiu, “It’s incurable, don’t worry about it.”
Zhen Mei Qiu suddenly felt like she’d been struck by lightning, her mind nearly splitting open!!
What to do, who could come to rescue her son!
Her son, who appeared cool and wealthy on the surface, was actually defective!!!
That is to say, a product she’d had for twenty-seven years suddenly had a quality issue, is it still possible to return it?!
