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

That night, Xiao Ranran was nestled in Lu Lingzhou's arms, preparing to sleep, when she suddenly opened her eyes wide and sat up.

She leaned close to Lu Lingzhou and said in a childish voice, "Ba ba."

Lu Lingzhou opened his eyes and hugged the little guy tightly: "What's wrong? Why aren't you asleep?"

"Baba, baba."

"What kind of father...?"

Lu Lingzhou was taken aback; he seemed to have forgotten something.

I dressed the little guy in a fluffy pajama, held him in my arms, and knocked on Mu Chen's bedroom door.

"Uncle Lu, what's wrong?" Mu Chen rubbed his eyes, feeling a little sleepy.

"Has Murui returned yet?"

Mu Chen stopped rubbing his eyes and looked up abruptly: "No."

He's been gone all day and hasn't come back, and there's been no news of him at all.

Lu Lingzhou handed Xiao Ranran to Mu Chen and turned to head to the basement.

Restart the machine manager after it has been shut down.

drop--

Low battery, please charge.

Lu Lingzhou: ...You messed up at the crucial moment.

Press the robot assistant on the charging station to start charging.

As soon as he turned around, Mu Chen, carrying Xiao Ranran, followed behind him.

Seeing that Mu Chen had wrapped himself and the little one in a cloak, Lu Lingzhou looked away.

"I hope everything is alright."

This person can't be that unreliable; he might get caught without even realizing it.

Half an hour later, the robot's lights came back on.

Charging complete, now turning on.

Lu Lingzhou was still somewhat hopeful, hoping that the aloof butler from before would appear.

After turning on the robot butler, it stretched its body, then slid down to kneel in front of Mu Chen and Xiao Ranran, hugging Mu Chen's legs, its eyes turning into tears.

"Master, help! Master is going to tear everything down..."

Mu Chen: ...

Xiao Ranran: ? ? ?

Lu Lingzhou rubbed his forehead.

His aloof butler is gone; what went wrong?

Little Ranran, unaware of what had happened, stretched out her warm paw and patted the robot butler's head: "Good girl, don't cry~"

The robot assistant immediately stopped crying: "Okay, don't cry anymore."

"Listen to your master."

Lu Lingzhou: ...

He kicked it and said, "Get up, pull up Murui's location and the surveillance footage."

"Oh." She looked aggrieved, having been dismantled but still having to work.

Lu the Skinflint.

The little owner is still the cutest.

As the group left the basement, a faint, flickering light appeared in a dark corner, inadvertently entering the machine butler's body and landing on a crystal along the wiring.

The crystal emitted a light, and the robot's eyes lit up briefly before quickly returning to normal.

When his location was revealed and Lu Lingzhou saw that it was located in China, his lips twitched.

Did he just run back to China after only one day of absence?

He didn't know what to say.

"monitor."

The robot assistant pulled up the surveillance video again and saw Mu Rui and Mu Lang together. It also saw Mu Lang going crazy. Everyone in the living room, except for Xiao Ranran who didn't understand, fell silent.

Mu Chen tugged at Lu Lingzhou's sleeve: "Uncle Lu, this person doesn't like Uncle Mu, does he?"

Why does it look so crazy?

Lu Lingzhou: "I don't think so."

"He's just a little obsessive about Murui, just like with Xiao Ranran and me. One day, a bad guy took Xiao Ranran away. Do you think I would be angry or go crazy?"

The reason for Mu Lang's condition is his childhood experience. He was originally in darkness, but Mu Rui gave him a ray of light. However, the light disappeared, and he fell into darkness again. Later, the light returned, but everything that had happened before could not be returned, and he could only fall into deeper darkness.

I believe Mu Lang also knows that he only cares about Mu Rui, cares about this older brother, and wants Mu Rui to be his older brother again.

"I don't quite understand," Mu Chen said frankly.

"I understand now." Li Rui held out his hand. "It's a brother complex, but Mu Lang's is obviously more serious than the average brother complex."

Like Lu Tingchen, Lu Tingchen is also a brother-obsessed person, but he is normal.

"Yes, it's brother complex." Lu Lingzhou nodded in agreement.

No one understands brotherhood better than him, after all, he has one in his family.

If Lu Tingchen turned into that, Lu Lingzhou would tremble all over. He would probably give him a big shovel and show him why the sea is so blue.

Lu Tingchen: ಥ_ಥ

Family, does anyone understand? My brother is going to beat me up.

"It seems that Murui should be alright, so we don't need to worry too much." Lu Lingzhou got up and took the warm little guy from Mu Chen's arms into his embrace.

"Go to sleep."

"it is good."

No sleep for one night.

The next day, Lu Lingzhou took Xiao Ranran and Muchen to discuss cooperation, and the talks went very smoothly.

"After dinner tonight, we will return home."

"Okay, should we go to the banquet too?" Mu Chen asked.

"Go ahead, Li Rui has already prepared clothes for you."

Once you get there, just follow me or Li Rui. You can eat and drink, but try not to get involved if you can avoid it. If you encounter anything you don't like and they make a move, just hit them back. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility.

Mu Chen nodded: "I understand."

At 8 p.m., Lu Lingzhou arrived at the banquet hall on time with Xiao Ranran, Muchen, Li Rui, and Mu Qing.

Mu Chen and the others were all dressed in suits, looking quite formal.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ranran in Lu Lingzhou's arms stubbornly refused to change her vest because it was ugly, so she wore a white rabbit plush sweater with long rabbit ears and a rabbit tail hanging down her back.

With her fair and delicate face, black hair, and bright eyes, her well-behaved and adorable appearance drew the attention of everyone around her.

Lu Lingzhou knew everyone; he was the richest man in the empire, but no one had heard that he was married.

Now that she's brought a child over, it's surprising no matter how you look at it.

A woman wearing a halter-neck dress, with a curvaceous figure, blonde hair, blue eyes, and alluring red lips.

"Mr. Lu, how have you been?"

"Miss Ruth, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Lu Lingzhou raised a glass of Sprite and clinked glasses with her.

Ruth chuckled lightly: "Mr. Lu doesn't drink? Or do you look down on me?"

Lu Lingzhou looked at the little guy in his arms. The little guy gave him a soft and cute smile, then shyly snuggled into his arms and nuzzled against him, his little tail trembling behind him.

"My child doesn't like it, I'm sorry."

"I haven't heard anything about Mr. Lu getting married and having a child." Ruth was a little skeptical, and besides, the child looked to be one or two years old; it was impossible that there was no word about it at all.

"Just because I haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist," Lu Lingzhou retorted directly.

"If Miss Ruth is alright, I'll head over now. The baby's a little hungry."

Lu Lingzhou raised his glass to Lulu with a distant yet polite demeanor, then carried the little one in his arms toward the food area.

Having seen many people, and with Lu Lingzhou around, Xiao Ranran is no longer as afraid of such situations as before.

"Bang, sizzle~"

"tasty."

Lu Lingzhou picked up a can of milk, asked the waiter to heat it up and give him a straw, and soon it was inserted and handed to the little guy.

"Here, take this and drink it, be careful it's hot."

"Thank you, baba~"

"You're welcome."

His little baby is so sensible and well-behaved.
