After coming ashore, the little mermaid was pampered by his five fathers.

The butler saw the noblewoman and hurried over.

"Madam, what brings you here?"

The person who came was Lu Tingchen's mother, Lu Lingzhou's stepmother, Yang Wanyue. She was almost fifty years old, but still had a charming appearance, and it was clear that she was a beauty in her youth.

Yang Wanyue gently brushed her hair aside, her expression indifferent. "I've come to pick up Tingchen."

"It wouldn't be good to stay here with Ling Zhou and cause him trouble."

She understood the situation clearly. Now that Old Master Lu was useless and had to be on an oxygen tube every day, and her husband had passed away, the only person the Lu family could rely on was Lu Lingzhou. If she wanted to live well, she couldn't afford to offend him.

Tingchen has liked his older brother Lingzhou since he was a child, and he often chases after him, even if Lingzhou ignores him, he is still happy to do so.

But she also harbored selfish hopes that if something happened in the future, Lu Lingzhou would save her and her child's lives out of respect for Tingchen.

"How's Lingzhou doing lately?" As a stepmother, she should show some concern, after all, he's her and Tingchen's golden thigh, and she has to hold on tight.

As the housekeeper ushered her in, she said, "The master has been in a good mood lately, but he went on a business trip yesterday."

"Yes, the weather is getting colder, you should remind him to wear more clothes so he doesn't catch a cold," Yang Wanyue said a few more words of advice before sitting down on the sofa.

"Yes."

"Where's Tingchen? Where did he go?"

The butler answered truthfully, "The second young master is in the children's playground in the back."

"A children's playground?"

When did Lu Yuan get this? It doesn't quite fit Lu Lingzhou's domineering CEO persona.

Just as Yang Wanyue was about to get up and go over to see what was going on, she heard several bursts of laughter.

She turned her head and was nearly scared to death.

Whose child is the one her son is holding?

Also, whose child is that with him?

Yang Wanyue felt like her brain wasn't big enough to handle it all.

She stared blankly as Lu Tingchen carried the child over.

"mom?"

Lu Tingchen stopped when he saw Yang Wanyue.

Seeing Yang Wanyue's stunned gaze again, she silently hugged the little one in her arms tighter.

When Xiao Ranran saw the stranger, she automatically shrank into Lu Tingchen's arms, burying her little head like a little bun.

Mu Chen also took Xiao Ranran's little hand and looked at Yang Wanyue warily.

Seeing the three men standing ready, Yang Wanyue calmed herself down a bit, thinking she had frightened them by being too fierce, so she said gently, "Tingchen, this child is..."

Lu Tingchen handed the baby Ranran to Mu Chen, asking him to play with Ranran, and then pulled Yang Wanyue away from the living room.

When they reached the eaves, Yang Wanyue was still craning her neck to look. Once she could no longer see, she turned to Lu Tingchen and said, "Tell me, what have you been hiding from me?"

"No wonder you didn't go home after graduation. Explain everything clearly."

"Did you bully some young lady, and she ran away pregnant, then dumped the child on you?"

Lu Tingchen was completely dumbfounded.

How did my mother come up with all this?

"Mom, what novels have you been reading lately?"

Yang Wanyue covered her mouth and laughed, "Oh dear, I didn't read anything, just some novels about domineering CEOs pursuing their wives."

"Don't try to change the subject, just tell the truth."

Lu Tingchen: "That's not my child, it's my brother's."

"Ling Zhou's?" Yang Wanyue almost dropped her jaw in shock.

He whispered again, "What's going on?"

"Could it be that his wife is pregnant and ran away with him?"

My goodness, that's amazing!

Lu Tingchen sighed, "Mom."

Yang Wanyue covered her mouth, "I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore, you tell me, you tell me."

"I don't know the specifics, but the child is definitely my brother's. Anyway, don't ask any more questions."

"I know, I know."

"Can I take a look?"

Yang Wanyue was somewhat expectant.

Although she is Lu Lingzhou's stepmother, she is also Lu Lingzhou's mother in name, so this child should also call her grandma.

Besides, she had just glanced at the child, and he looked quite well-behaved.

She loves cute kids the most.

"Okay, but Ranran is a little afraid of strangers, so don't scare him later," Lu Tingchen instructed. "If you scare him, I'll throw you and me out."

Yang Wanyue nodded: "I know, I know, don't worry, Mom knows what she's doing."

Without a sense of propriety, I wouldn't be alive today.

"Let's go, let's go."

Yang Wanyue calmed herself down, took a breath, and followed Lu Tingchen inside.

In the living room, Mu Chen was holding Ranran on the sofa, playing with her. The little one was adorable even from the side.

"Ranran."

Lu Tingchen walked over, looking at the little guy with tender eyes, and touched his little face. "Uncle will introduce someone to Ranran."

He picked up the little one and looked at Yang Wanyue.

"This is my second uncle's..." Mom said.

"Oh, my dear grandson."

When Yang Wanyue saw the little guy's face, she couldn't contain herself and excitedly ran over.

Their enthusiastic manner made Xiao Ranran's little body tremble.

"So flaky..."
