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

The old man felt a little lost when he saw that the little boy was really willing to go with this man, but looking at his affectionate little face, he thought that the boy was willing to believe this man.

This is better than it being auctioned off and ending up in the hands of an unknown person.

"Sir, the little one is very pitiful; he was captured and brought here."

"Look at the injuries on his body, he was beaten by that group of people. They forced Xiao Guai Guai to cry out for pearls so they could exchange them for money."

"They also wanted to use the auction to sell Little Darling for money, but I couldn't bear it, so I brought him out. I originally wanted to send him back to the sea, but my abilities were limited."

The old man sighed in disappointment.

"My little darling trusts you. Could you please take him away? It would be better for him to be bullied by those with bad intentions."

"If you don't want to raise him, please send him back to the sea; the sea is his home."

The old man spoke with heartfelt emotion, wiping away tears from the corners of his eyes.

Just as Lu Lingzhou was about to say something, a noise came from the corridor outside.

The old man's expression changed, and he said nervously, "They must have discovered that Little Darling is missing."

"I'll go and distract them. Please take him away, sir."

His other half was also a mermaid, kind and beautiful, but she was stripped of her scales and tendons by those evil demons, and in the end, not even her bones were left.

But he was powerless to protect her.

Today, he has the opportunity to help another little mermaid, and he will certainly do his best.

The old man walked resolutely out, clearly not intending to return.

Lu Lingzhou: "Wait a minute."

The old man stopped and looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Sir?"

"I'll handle this," Lu Lingzhou said.

The whole point of auctioning off the mermaid is money, and that's perfect, money is exactly what he needs.

Lu Lingzhou looked at the obedient cub tightly hugging him in his arms, and then at the wound on his fair arm, and his heart softened.

"Want to come with me?"

The little cub nodded: "Mmm."

I want to be with my dad.

Since that's the case, then he'll take him out.

Fortunately, he also felt that this little cub was incredibly well-behaved and so attached to him.

Lu Lingzhou took off his suit jacket, covered the little mermaid with it, and then called his assistant to pick him up.

Because of Lu Lingzhou's status, no one in the hotel dared to stop him, so he left the hotel smoothly.

The assistant saw his boss carrying something and assumed it was an auction item, so he didn't ask any further questions.

But I was puzzled as to why I hadn't asked him to pay or give me a check.

unusual.

On the way back to Lu Garden, Lu Lingzhou's phone rang. The sudden ringing startled Xiao Ranran, who then hugged Lu Lingzhou tightly again.

Lu Lingzhou patted his small body to comfort him.

"Feed".

Li Yang shouted in a loud voice, "Where have you been? The auction has already started!"

"On my way home."

"What the hell? You're leaving already? That's so unethical of you."

"You should come back too, there's nothing there."

Li Yang: "No way! I haven't even seen the mermaid yet. I have to bring him home tonight."

Lu Lingzhou looked down at the cub in his arms, saying nothing, "Whatever you want."

"Hang up."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Lingzhou reached out and tapped the little cub's nose.

Little Ranran squinted her eyes and revealed a sweet smile as she snuggled closer to him, nestling affectionately in his arms.

Dad, Ranran's dad.

He found his dad!

Grandpa will definitely be happy.

How can I bring my dad home?

The little mermaid began to feel distressed.

Back at Lu Garden, as they got out of the car, the assistant noticed a glimpse of blue peeking out from the package his boss was carrying.

Before I could see clearly, I was wrapped up tightly and taken away.

Curious, he followed them inside.

"Boss..."

"ah!!!!"

The assistant screamed in fright when she saw a head pop out from under the suit jacket.

Lu Lingzhou gave him a look, and his assistant promptly covered his mouth, closed the door, and drew the curtains.

If he wasn't mistaken, it was a mermaid, or rather, a mermaid baby.

Mermaids.

Could it be the mermaid from tonight's auction?

His boss actually bought a mermaid?

Xiao Ranran was startled by his scream.

Seeing his surprised expression, I assumed he was disgusted or afraid of me.

She pouted, looking a little aggrieved, and clung tightly to Lu Lingzhou's clothes.

He doesn't like Ranran.

Seeing that the little mermaid was unhappy, Lu Lingzhou wrapped him in his clothes again and gently placed him on the sofa.

Holding that soft little hand, I said, "It's okay, that uncle is sick and has to call out to him every day."

"Sweetie, do you want to go to sleep?"

Having never raised a child before, CEO Lu had no idea how to handle it and could only lower his voice and speak slowly to the little cub.

Fortunately, the little cub was well-behaved and obediently nodded while resting against his arm.

"ah."

Seeing that he agreed, CEO Lu picked up the little cub and went upstairs.

With my previous experience, I'm now quite adept at holding the baby, and I even consciously control the force I use.

Since no room was prepared, Lu Lingzhou could only carry the cub into his bedroom.

After placing it on the bed, I promptly headed towards the bathroom.

The bathtub was filled with cold water, and the baby cubs were placed inside.

The bathtub is large enough for the baby to move around freely.

As soon as Xiao Ranran got into the water, she happily wagged her tail.

The fish scales, which had been somewhat dry, regained their shine and even shimmered under the light.

Xiao Ranran moved around in the bathtub for a while, saw Lu Lingzhou standing there in a daze, and turned around to swim towards him.

She leaned over the edge of the bathtub, her delicate white hands gripping the porcelain-white tub, and softly uttered, "Ah."

Lu Lingzhou knew he was being called, so he quickly squatted down, his expression more tender than ever before.

"Why aren't you swimming? Don't you like it?"

This is purified water, clean and clear, but it certainly can't compare to seawater.

He heard that it's best to keep mermaids in seawater.

Little Ranran patted the water's surface, her rosy lips slightly parted, "Ah."

Let's do it together, Dad.

Ranran wants to play with her dad.

Lu Lingzhou had to read it several times before he understood what he was trying to say.

He asked uncertainly, "Do you want me to come in?"

Xiao Ranran nodded happily, indicating that this was exactly what she meant.

He patted the water's surface again.

Let's play together.

Ranran is playing with her dad.

Seeing his obedient little face, Lu Lingzhou couldn't help but touch his cheek and said gently, "I won't go in. Just play by yourself."

"Do you... want to sleep here, or would you like to go to the bed?"

Mermaids seem to sleep in the water.

Little Ranran tilted her head in confusion, "If we don't sleep in the water, where will we sleep?"

He pointed his little finger at Lu Lingzhou, "Huh?"

Lu Lingzhou hesitated: "Where do you want me to sleep?"

Xiao Ranran nodded.

I sleep in the bed.

Letting him sleep in the water overnight might make him sick.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ranran reached out to him, looking as if she wanted him to hug her.

Lu Lingzhou took a large bath towel, wrapped it around the little mermaid, and picked him up.

Her slightly cool, slender arms wrapped around his neck, and her soft face pressed against his.

"Ah~" Dad.

The soft, sweet voice, even with just one syllable, made Lu Lingzhou's heart sink a little.

It's a really strange feeling.

He used to find those children noisy and not cute at all, but the one in his arms was exceptionally cute in every move he made.
