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

The police acted swiftly, arresting Tang Dehong that same day.

As Tang Dehong passed by Lu Tingchen, he gave him a sinister look.

They actually didn't kill him!

Lu Tingchen: tui

What an idiot, resorting to dirty tricks.

It's a good thing it was him; if he had bullied Ranran, he would have dug up his ancestral graves.

"I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going back now." Ranran is still at home; he has to go back and keep watch over her.

Li Rui: "Yes, Second Young Master."

He was just a poor, unfortunate working man.

Tang Dehong was arrested for hiring someone to commit murder, and due to some shady dealings, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

As for Tang Pingping, she was still lying in the hospital, but she mysteriously disappeared that night.

The Tang family vanished from the capital city overnight.

There are speculations both inside and outside the industry, but no one dares to say much, for fear of getting into trouble.

Things outside don't reach Lu Garden, but the atmosphere there is somewhat tense at the moment.

"Beep beep..."

Xiao Ranran pulled Mu Chen towards the outside; he wanted to find Lu Lingzhou.

Her eyes were red, clearly she had already cried once.

"Beep beep..."

Mu Chen hugged him, "Be good, baby. Uncle Lu is at work and will be back soon."

"No... beep beep..."

Xiao Ranran pointed to the main gate outside, stubbornly determined to find Lu Lingzhou.

"Ranran."

Lu Tingchen arrived just in time and took Ranran into his arms. "Ranran, where are you going?"

Little Ranran sniffled, her voice trembling with tears, and said, "Baba..."

"I want to find my dad."

"Um."

"Let's go take a look." Lu Tingchen led him outside. The streetlights were on, and the surrounding scenery could be vaguely seen, which effectively distracted Xiao Ranran.

Lu Tingchen took him to see the flowers and fish, and even took him to the swimming pool.

After playing for a while, when Lu Tingchen carried Xiao Ranran back to the living room, Xiao Ranran had already fallen asleep on his shoulder.

Take him back to the children's room to rest, with Mu Chen keeping him company.

On the plane, Lu Lingzhou glanced at the time on his wrist. Due to weather conditions, the plane had been stuck at the airport for three hours, so he still had an hour before he would get home.

I don't know if my little darling made a fuss.

In the middle of the night, Ranran, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up.

He got up and looked at Mu Chen sleeping beside him. There was no smell of Lu Lingzhou in the air, and he sniffed with longing.

Beep beep...

The little one huddled under the covers, crying his eyes out.

Before I knew it, a whole bed had fallen off.

Suddenly, the room door opened.

A familiar scent wafted in, pausing the little one's sobs.

He opened his eyes wide and looked up.

A tall, slender figure walked in through the doorway.

The room wasn't dark, and Lu Lingzhou clearly saw the blanket on the bed move slightly, and a little head peeked out a moment later.

Surprised, he quickly went to the bedside and whispered, "Little Darling."

Little Ranran suddenly pouted and started to cry, reaching out her little hands for him to hold her, "baa baa..."

The nasal voice reached Lu Lingzhou's ears, causing him a pang of heartache. He reached out and hugged the adorable child on the bed.

As soon as I picked her up, the little pearls fell to the ground with a clatter.

Lu Lingzhou could tell from the sound that the little one in his arms was crying.

"Don't cry, Daddy's back."

Carrying the cub back to his room, Lu Lingzhou comforted it before washing up.

Back in the room, Xiao Ranran sat on the bed, a tiny little ball, looking at him obediently.

"Beep beep~" There was a loud sound when he came out.

"Yes, Dad's here."

He lifted the covers and got into bed. As soon as he lay down, the little cub crawled over and snuggled into his arms, clinging tightly to him.

"Beep beep."

"Yes, Daddy's here. Go to sleep. Daddy will hold you while you sleep."

Holding the warm cub, Lu Lingzhou felt that rushing back was meaningful, and he felt very satisfied.

Although he didn't sleep well last night, Lu Lingzhou slept very comfortably while holding the little cub, and slept soundly until dawn.

As soon as I woke up, I saw a sweet and gentle smiling face.

"Beep beep~"

Lu Lingzhou reached out and hugged him, kissed his little face, sat up, glanced at the time, and realized it was already nine o'clock. No wonder Xiao Ranran was already awake.

"Let's go wash up."

"Okay~"

After washing up and going downstairs, Lu Lingzhou skillfully prepared formula for Xiao Ranran and handed him the bottle before Mu Chen hurriedly went downstairs.

"Uncle Lu, you're back."

Seeing Lu Lingzhou and the baby in his arms, Mu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

I almost thought he had lost sight of his baby.

"Yes, I came back last night."

"Let's have breakfast."

"it is good."

"Brother." Little Ranran waved her little hand to greet Mu Chen from Lu Lingzhou's arms, completely unaware that she had scared Mu Chen.

Mu Chen shook hands with Xiao Ranran, greeted him, and then sat down to eat breakfast.

"Nothing's happened at home these past few days, has it?" Lu Lingzhou asked casually.

Mu Chen: "Apart from the baby being bullied, that's all."

"However, someone came yesterday. Uncle Lu said she was his mother, but she left after eating."

Lu Lingzhou immediately knew who he was talking about: his nominal stepmother.

"She didn't do anything, did she?"

Mu Chen shook her head: "No, at most I just let the little one call her grandma, and I even cooked a meal for the little one at noon."

"Uncle Lu, should the little one call her Grandma?"

He needs to find out the details to avoid making a mistake next time.

Lu Lingzhou took a sip of porridge and looked at the little guy eating a meat pie in his arms. "It's okay for him to call out, it doesn't matter."

Although Yang Wanyue married into the Lu family, the Yang family is involved in politics and still holds a position in the capital city. Therefore, he doesn't mind that his little darling has another powerful backer.

"If you encounter any problems, you can ask her for help."

Mu Chen nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Bang bang~ Crack~"

Xiao Ranran picked up a meat pie she had never eaten before and held it to Lu Lingzhou's lips, looking at him expectantly.

Lu Lingzhou opened his mouth and ate it. "Mmm, it's delicious. Thank you, little darling."

Xiao Ranran immediately smiled, picked up another dumpling and held it to his mouth, "smack smack."

"Mmm, this is delicious too." Looking at the happy little one in his arms, Lu Lingzhou felt a warm feeling in his heart.

After dinner, Lu Lingzhou took Xiao Ranran upstairs and put the pearls from the bed into a glass jar. Looking at the jar full of pearls, Lu Lingzhou looked at Xiao Ranran.

Xiao Ranran gave him a cute, soft smile.

What else can a little guy like this say?

Three days later, Jiang Wen returned after finishing his business and went straight to Lu Garden.

"Little darling, did you miss your uncle?"

Looking at the enthusiastic Jiang Wen, Xiao Ranran's eyes crinkled into a smile, "I want to~"

Ah!! My little darling missed me.

Jiang Wen happily held Xiao Ranran and spun her around in the living room.

When Mu Chen saw his posture, she almost thought he was going to throw Xiao Ranran out, so she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his hand.

"Be careful!" What if you drop the baby?

Jiang Wen reluctantly stopped what he was doing. "I understand, little housekeeper."

With Mu Chen watching over him, Jiang Wen toned it down a bit.

After Jiang Wen finally left, Mu Chen quickly picked up Xiao Ranran and went to the yard to see the goldfish.

This person is terrifying.

Jiang Wen went upstairs to report to Lu Lingzhou.

"Boss, is the Mu family patriarch's birthday banquet tomorrow night? Are you going?"

"I heard that the eldest son of the Mu family has also returned."
