The “disabled but determined” little beauty reached out toward the pigeon soup moving farther and farther away outside the car. “Mm-mm.”
He had just woken up, and his eyes still held sleepy confusion. His entire body’s functions had not yet recovered, making him look like a frail little mute with no ability to take care of himself.
Lin Xiaoxiao: …
Helplessly, he reached out and pulled Daddy up.
At least the person had been brought back to life.
Otherwise, who knew how long Daddy would sleep in the car?
Hmph. Bad stepdad only cared about his own sleep and did not consider other people’s feelings.
Also, if he kept sleeping in the car, what if his bones fell apart? After all, although the car seat was comfortable, it was still not a bed.
It was not even as good as a sofa.
What if he caught cold? Bad stepdad’s body was this delicate. When the time came, the entire household would get worked up taking care of him…
Of, of course, this entire household definitely did not include him.
He would never take care of bad stepdad!
He was merely planning ahead and pulling bad stepdad up in advance!
Lu Yuanxing blinked and suspiciously looked at the changes in Lin Xiaoxiao’s expression. In this half-dreaming, half-awake moment, he somehow understood some of Lin Xiaoxiao’s thoughts. Don’t be too ridiculous!
Lu Yuanxing was supported on both sides by Lin Xiaoxiao and Lin Dundun, one on each side, as they held his hands and led him inside to eat. In a daze, he felt like the empress dowager in a television drama being served by others.
A male one.
Hehehe.
Was that not the purpose of little children?!
In other words, if little children did not take care of Daddy, where would the fun be?
The uses of little children included, but were not limited to: playing with them, teasing them, making harmless little jokes, tricking them into being surprised so he could laugh and enjoy himself, letting them serve him when he was injured, and having them wake him when he fell asleep…
Hehehehehe.
Lu Yuanxing laughed foolishly.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Yuanxing’s foolish smile. …It was over. Bad stepdad had started mutating again.
Should he call Father Zhou and report loudly?
After all, bad stepdad’s direction of evolution was becoming increasingly horrifying!
He also did not know whether bad stepdad was evolving or devolving. Would bad stepdad really devolve into a cat?
Not sure. Look again.
Along the way, being served by Lin Xiaoxiao and Lin Dundun without needing to say a single word, Lu Yuanxing suddenly felt the joy of being a “little mute.”
A little mute beauty!
Was that not how books always described it?
Although Lin Dundun was young and not tall enough, so supporting his arm was basically the same as holding his hand, the feeling of being cared for by little children was still not bad!!
Hehe. Giving up. He could peacefully be a little mute salted fish.
After living again, he had seen things clearly.
He was a shy little red flower, budding and ready to bloom!
Lin Dundun also inexplicably understood Daddy’s thoughts. Perhaps this was the bond between father and son. But he did not have a little red flower, so he took the kindergarten little red flower he had secretly stolen from his older brother and stuck it onto Daddy’s hand.
“Give, give Daddy little red flower.”
Lu Yuanxing was dazed. Thank you, I’m splitting apart.
So he was also someone who could receive a little red flower?
In his previous life, because he had been frail since childhood and had never gone to kindergarten, little friend Lu Yuanxing suddenly fulfilled the dream of being a top kindergarten child.
Seeing Daddy smiling foolishly, Lin Xiaoxiao sighed in his heart. Sigh, bad stepdad really was a child, wasn’t he?
Who exactly was the adult here?
B-but since bad stepdad liked the little red flower so much, it did not matter if this one was given to him.
After all, he had received far too many little red flowers in kindergarten.
Something like a little red flower had no difficulty at all.
He had a special notebook just for collecting little red flowers, and there were already so many that it could not hold them anymore. This was also a kind of trouble.
“Thank you, baby Dundun.” Lu Yuanxing rubbed Lin Dundun’s little head.
Aside from being happy, Lu Yuanxing also felt a little embarrassed. He said to Lin Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, Dundun secretly taking your little red flower is wrong. I’ll return it to you later.”
Lin Xiaoxiao said lightly, “Mm, no need. I still have an entire book.”
Lu Yuanxing glanced sideways at Lin Xiaoxiao: Listen to yourself. Are those human words?! The Versailles of a little top student!
How could the gap between people be this big? Could people still communicate sincerely?
Oh, clutching my heart.
However, Lu Yuanxing was still very happy that his family’s child was this outstanding.
Lu Yuanxing did not forget his little mute character setting. Speaking just now had been his mistake, so now he had to make up for it double!
And so, while eating, Lu Yuanxing did not communicate the entire time. He only used his eyes and chopsticks to signal for them to put food in his bowl. “Mm-mm, woo-woo, mm-mm!”
When Lin Xiaoxiao cast him an accusing gaze, Lu Yuanxing returned it with a pair of moist eyes that looked weak, pitiful, and helpless. He clutched his chest: Daddy is so delicate.
Lin Xiaoxiao: …
The butler felt even more distressed seeing Lu Yuanxing like this. Madam was this delicate. It was absolutely his dereliction of duty. He had to continue making delicious food for Madam and nourish him back to health!
Lu Yuanxing ate the meal with complete satisfaction.
Assistant Zhang, who had infiltrated the nanny squad, silently choked up: You people just spoil his dad.
However, by the end of the meal, Lu Yuanxing’s conscience still awakened.
Just as Lu Yuanxing had said, he would treat Lin Dundun to roast duck tonight, so tonight’s dinner included orange duck.
The orange duck consisted of soft duck meat sliced by the chef, piece by piece, arranged together with orange slices.
Lin Dundun’s meals were nutritionally planned by the nanny and were exclusive children’s meals. However, Lin Dundun had long been staring eagerly at the roast duck.
“Shall I feed Dundun roast duck?” Lu Yuanxing reached out and stroked the little child’s hair.
Mm, the little child’s hair was soft and smooth. It felt so good to touch!
“Okay, okay!” Lin Dundun’s eyes instantly lit up. “Daddy, feed Dundun ducky!”
Lu Yuanxing was also in a very good mood. He picked a few pieces from the softest parts, dipped them in soy sauce, and fed them to Lin Dundun.
“Awu~”
He ate with great happiness.
Lin Xiaoxiao still had a tennis lesson. Lin Dundun also happened to really want to go outside and play, so Lu Yuanxing had Lin Xiaoxiao take Lin Dundun over to act as a little cheerleader at the side.
After eating, Lu Yuanxing washed up a little, sat at the long dining table, and summoned everyone in the Lin family manor.
He sat in the main seat. His soft, fluffy black hair just happened to cover his eyes. His gaze was clear and moist, clean and pure, without the slightest dust of the mortal world.
His youthful skin was fair to the point of seeming translucent. His nose bridge was slightly straight, his lips pressed together, their color a clear pale pink, like a peach blossom forest of pink and white brought by the first spring breeze.
The person who was usually cheerful and lively, as though nothing ever weighed on his heart, now slightly raised his eyes. His pair of clear pupils seemed able to reach straight into the depths of a person’s soul.
There was a natural sense of cold distance.
For an instant, the butler almost felt as though he had seen the master.
Cold sweat immediately came down.
But Lu Yuanxing was still gentle. It was not extremely obvious.
Lu Yuanxing thought for a moment, picked up a fork, slowly ate a piece of after-meal dessert, and said, “All of you—tell me Lin Jingzhou’s strengths.”
Assistant Zhang had perfectly blended in and was also standing among the nannies, seriously studying how to be a good milk dad.
Assistant Zhang: Flattery? I’m familiar with this!
He took the lead and said, “Chairman Lin is very talented and capable. He has unique vision and graduated from the finance department in Country Y!”
“After Chairman Lin took over the Lin family, in just one short year, he expanded the Lin family’s scale and increased output value tenfold, making it leap into becoming the strongest consortium in the country.”
“As long as Chairman Lin takes over a project, there is not a single one that does not make huge money.”
Assistant Zhang was able to stand beside Lin Jingzhou and become his life assistant because he was also very capable. He spoke effortlessly, like a fish in water.
Was this not just rainbow flattery!!
And! He, Little Zhang, was sincere in saying these words!
He truly admired the Chairman!
Because the Chairman not only made the Lin family expand rapidly and enter the international top ten, he was truly generous to his subordinates!
When something happened, he really gave money!
For example, this month’s bonus!
Assistant Zhang thought of his little money and could not help becoming graceful. Even his body felt a little lighter.
He became even more energetic as a milk dad.
He spun, leaped, human-ape Tyson, grabbed the rope, failed to grab it, stretched his hand hard, this time grabbed it, high pot, swinging into the sky!
Lu Yuanxing rubbed his chin and nodded. Mm, got it. Very good at earning money.
He sat on the sofa and said lightly, “Continue.” Blowing rainbow flattery.
One of the aunties could not help saying, “The eldest young master pays very high wages!”
“He is generous to his subordinates!”
“When something happens at home and we ask for leave, not only does he not deduct wages, he also gives condolence money.”
The nanny aunties all rushed to speak, and it was clear that their expressions were very sincere.
Lu Yuanxing: got it. Very generous.
…But something felt wrong.
Generous, my foot!
Lu Yuanxing remembered how this person had secretly sent him double-pepper beef. The dish had been sent, yes, but it was spicy enough to kill a person!
Would his conscience not hurt?
The butler felt he also needed to say a few words. As the head steward of the Lin residence, he had this mission! He needed to help Young Master Xing and Mr. Lin’s relationship rise to another level. Therefore, the butler stepped forward and said respectfully, “Chairman Lin has a great sense of responsibility. Although he is often too busy with work to return home, he cares very much about the two young masters. He is a good father.”
“Mm, good father.” Lu Yuanxing nodded, then suddenly his focus shifted. “Wait. Say that again?”
Often does not return home!
There is such a good thing?
Hiss, hiss.
Although he had already known this from the book, Lu Yuanxing had never had a true feeling for it, because last time Lin Jingzhou had returned to City A and even called him over!
His billionaire husband not only knew how to earn money, but also did not come home. As long as he did not return, Lu Yuanxing was the greatest in the whole mansion.
Hehe, hehehe.
At this moment, Lu Yuanxing had quite the feeling of: when there was no tiger in the mountain, the cat declared himself king.
He sat on the soft chair, leaned against the chair back, and stretched lazily. His little hands gently spread out, looking exactly like a cold and lazy cat.
Cat Lu said, “Then tell me his weaknesses.”
Little Zhang became nervous: weaknesses? He was loyal and devoted to Chairman Lin. Chairman Lin was his source of food and clothing!
His salary, his year-end bonus, everything he possessed materially, as well as his upbringing, his appearance, and his beautiful soul would all be destroyed.
He absolutely could not betray his soul! Chairman Lin had no weaknesses!
Everyone looked at one another. Although the person sitting before them was also the master of the Lin residence, who would dare speak of the big boss’s weaknesses?
Did, did they not want to live?!
Lu Yuanxing paused. “Speak well, and I’ll give you paid leave.”
Little Zhang took the lead and immediately betrayed his own soul, saying indignantly, “Chairman Lin is not only competitive himself, working overtime late into the night, he also drives us to work a brutal overtime schedule! He is simply an evil capitalist, earning our hard-earned blood and sweat money!”
Lu Yuanxing: …
“Your blood and sweat money?” Lu Yuanxing asked in confusion. “Aren’t you a milk dad in the villa?”
Little Zhang choked. Feeling that he had already sold his own beautiful soul, he absolutely could not betray his boss now. His gaze became firm.
“I simply possess a certain awareness beyond ordinary people.”
Lu Yuanxing: 6.
Lu Yuanxing nodded. “Your awareness is indeed very high. You can have ten days of paid leave.”
Ten days! And paid!
Little Zhang felt that his upbringing, beauty, and beautiful soul had returned.
Ten days of paid leave was very tempting. Rounding it up, that was a small long holiday! No, after excluding adjusted workdays, it was even longer than a small long holiday! And it did not occupy his annual leave!
With motivation came energy, and everyone instantly became eager to try.
“Chairman Lin talks very little and always uses his eyes to order people around! He makes us guess his thoughts!”
Closing both eyes, sorry, Chairman Lin.
“Guess, guess, guess! Who can guess that accurately?! He’s like a sulking, spoiled young girl! So actually, Chairman Lin has the heart of a young girl!!!”
Lu Yuanxing cracked melon seeds and acted as a melon-eating audience member. Hearing this, his body involuntarily leaned forward.
Whoa, this one was even more explosive.
Got it. A quiet cool guy… a quiet cool guy with the heart of a young girl.
The nanny who had praised him earlier took a step forward. She clenched both hands tightly, seeming somewhat excited.
“When Chairman Lin relaxes at home, he always likes to leave three buttons undone, and his shirts are fitted, showing the outline of his waist and abdomen. That’s basically showing off his body in disguise! Who is he trying to seduce? He is not keeping male virtue!”
“Madam, Chairman Lin is a married man. You must manage this properly!”
“You’re right!” Lu Yuanxing nodded indignantly and echoed again and again. He did indeed need to be managed. As punishment, he should stay on business trips for one month and not come home!
After everyone had spoken all at once, Lu Yuanxing narrowed his eyes. Mm, overall, he was quite satisfied.
Not only had he gotten a rough image of Lin Jingzhou as a person, he had also learned… many secrets.
Perhaps “young-girl heart overbearing chairman who does not keep male virtue” counted as a secret?
The cat tilted his head and thought carefully.
Little Zhang crouched in the bathroom, holding his phone and reporting work to Lin Jingzhou.
He typed rapidly, but that was not satisfying enough, so he lowered his voice and sent Lin Jingzhou a voice message.
He looked exactly like a thief. But his work was rather special. Other people stole big houses; he stole bathrooms.
“So, did you say it?” After Lin Jingzhou finished listening, his fingers lightly tapped the bookshelf partition beside him.
Strengths and weaknesses?
What signature performance was Lu Yuanxing doing this time?
Heh. Recently, his endless little tricks were truly dazzling.
Could it really be as Xiaoxiao said? Had he mutated?
“Chairman Lin, I am someone working hard to infiltrate the enemy’s interior! My loyalty to you can be witnessed by the sun and moon…”
“Speak human.”
“I said it.”
“Bonus deducted.”
