A Picture is Worth One... Secret

In order to leave, he still needed clothes. If Mu Fang knew he'd be visiting Su Ting then he should have prepared something, right? He considered it for a moment. This was Mu Fang. He probably wanted something in return.

He thought over it a while before remembering his message. He said to send him a 'picture' instead of a 'message'. This must be it.

Chen Lijun's cheeks heated up slightly as he cursed the sneaky man. He pressed his lips together and thought that he wouldn't give him what he wanted. He probably wanted to see him in one of those embarrassing underwear, right? It was too bad Chen Lijun saw through him. He would never throw himself into the net. He 'cleverly' sucked his legs out straight over the edge of the bed and took a picture of his feet. His straight mutton fat legs ended in toes curled up in white cotton socks. He smiled and sent it out with a note 'Pants?'

The baby watched him with big eyes. "What was that?"

Chen Lijun explained to the tech-idiot thousand-year-old spirit.

The baby heard his master's 'clever idea' and tried not to laugh.

Mu Fang replied with a location. Chen Lijun stood up and walked back to the wardrobe. Without opening it he stood on his tip toes and reached over the top of it.

The baby watched him. It smiled evilly. Before its master could grab the clothes on top he floated over and stood on the dresser. Its feet were directly in his way. "Master! I can find myself an outfit if you let me use this biological fragment!" It smiled widely with pure eyes as if it didn't know it was making trouble.

Chen Lijun frowned, "Move first."

"Eh~" It knelt down and began making trouble.

Chen Lijun's face was covered in black lines. He tossed it access to his biochip with a brief mental command. "This is what you wanted, right? Stay away from mature or shady sites. And choose something suitable for your appearance."

The baby floated away with a smile. Chen Lijun didn't notice it floating behind him and using his access to take a picture. It clearly showed Chen Lijun's beautiful elongated figure. His waist looked very elastic and his perky butt was pushed up as he stood on his toes. Most important was the shirt that rose after he raised his hand to show a peak of the sparkling words that adorned the youth's perky cheeks. The baby's sly expression distorted evilly as he typed a message. He checked it over and nodded. After sending it out he didn't forget to leave a few words to his master, "Don't worry, nobody else can see me anyway." It disappeared with, "But we'll have to find a way to make up for practical training eventually. I don't want a paper tiger for a master."

Chen Lijun coughed out blood. Thinking of the time he just barely held back from entering the space and beating the little ingrate. He pulled on the soft blue pants and left to find Shu Yi.

…

Neither knew that on the other side, Mu Fang was staring at a youth's perfectly posed feet during a meeting. Mu Fang sat silently in his chair with his arms folded. His eyes focused on a single point in front of him. Only he could see the screen which showed the youth's sock-covered feet.

The room had tensed up the moment his lips lifted. Mu Fang's expression looked sweet, but to everyone in the room, it felt as if a malevolent spirit had appeared. They all rushed through their memories in a cold sweat. None of them wanted to be the one who'd offended him.

Mu Fang didn't pay his subordinate's emotions any mind. Nor did he pay attention to the head of the Song family who'd been the one whose call had forced Mu Fang out of bed. Mu Fang had to show the Song family face. The head knew that and took advantage of it to bring him here today. Out of everyone, he was the most nervous. His back was already covered in sweat as he tried to keep a smile on his face.

When a new message came he smiled endearingly. When it opened his pupils suddenly jumped. His eyes were glued to the words on the screen. The words 'Don't make me sleep alone tonight' seemed to wrap him in an enticing blanket of fire. His throat dried up and a tent quickly rose under the table. However, his eyes narrowed. Even if they'd confirmed their relationship last night, his little Lijun wasn't the type to send such a thing.

His eyes shifted around until he found the image of an evil spirit on the closet door mirror. Near his little melon's arm was an image in the mirror. No, it wasn't an evil spirit. Mu Fang zoomed in and stared at it.

His fingers tapped on the table in front of him. The room seemed to darken. The people in the room didn't dare to move, some didn't dare to breathe in the suffocating air.

The mirror showed the face of a baby with a very unchildlike expression. Mu Fang waved over Shu Qi and allowed him access to the cropped photo. When he moved, all eyes were on him. They watched with fervid attention. They all wanted to know who angered him. They didn't want to be put on the butcher's block themselves. Everyone held their breath.

"Who does it look like?" Mu Fang's low voice erupted the hearts of everyone in the room.

Their eyes jerked to Shu Qi.

Shu Qi calmly walked over and looked at the photo. He glanced at his boss. "With such pure skin and lotus root limbs, this is certainly a beauty as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Is this my future sister-in-law? Boss is truly wise and is able to pick the purest jade. May birds fly in the sky as one; branches growing on the earth as one." He first commented on the beauty before wishing the couple well. As soon as the words were out of his mouth, the people in the room seemed to have come to an epiphany.

Time in the room finally began to move again. Everyone jumped on the chance to send out their congratulations. The silent room erupted with noise. Some of them hid deeper thoughts.

Mu Fang listened unmoving for a while. After secretly basking in their rainbow farts he opened his mouth, "Roll. You got all that from an elbow?" He closed the picture. He once again took up his position of staring into space.

The room came to an awkward pause. Everyone looked at one another, not knowing what to do. Now that they knew he was on his chip they dared not interrupt. However, now their minds had been planted with a seed of an idea. They were all excited about whether there was a sister-in-law. Some of them were excited to hear about a possible weakness. The head of the Song family sat quietly but was inwardly grinding his teeth.

Mu Fang brought the picture up in front of himself again and stared at it. It seemed like nobody else could see the floating baby. However, he was relieved that there didn't seem to be any resemblance between the baby and Chen Lijun. After all, it was impossible to give birth after one night. So It couldn't be their child.

He continued tapping as he thought. Was this related to the secret his silly melon kept from him? He smiled.
