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

Lu Lingzhou saw the Maine Coon and learned about its relationship with Ranran, so naturally he couldn't possibly kick it out.

"Housekeeper, prepare a cat bed, cat food, litter box, and so on for it. From now on, it will be Lu Garden's cat."

"Okay, okay, I'll go arrange it right away." The butler was quite pleased.

He never imagined that he would live to see Lu Yuan raising cats.

The bird was surprising enough, and now a cat has appeared. Next time, will it be a dog?

It has to be said that since the young master came back, this house has become more and more lively.

Little Ranran sat on Lu Lingzhou's lap, holding the milk candy Lu Lingzhou handed him in his little hand. The Maine Coon cat sat in front of them, its eyes fixed on Little Ranran.

At that moment, Ekris made a sound inside the cage.

"Squeak squeak".

Please, kind person, my little cutie, let me out to play!

Eckeris was eagerly trying to attract Lu Lingzhou and Xiao Ranran's attention when, unexpectedly, a head suddenly appeared in front of her—a furry head.

He froze instantly.

Why is it this cat again?!

The Maine Coon cat perked up immediately when it saw Ikereth in the cage.

It stood up, its cat eyes fixed on Ekris in the cage.

Ecris flapped its wings.

Thump.

The Maine Coon attacked, swatting the cage away with a single paw.

And just like that, Ecclesia flew off again.

Watching the cage roll around, the Maine Coon attacked again, leaping and grabbing the cage, tearing at it with its sharp claws reaching into the cage.

Ekris frantically dodged in the limited space, trying to avoid being caught by the Maine Coon.

"Squeak squeak squeak".

Help! Kind people, please save this Duke!

Lu Lingzhou was a little startled by the sudden scene. He put down Xiao Ranran and got up to get the cage.

With a swift movement, he lifted the cage.

The Maine Coon stubbornly clung to the cage, its eyes fixed on Eckeris inside, as if it wouldn't feel ashamed unless it caught and ate him.

Lu Lingzhou frowned, hugged the big cat, trying to get it to let go of the cage, but it just wouldn't let go.

"Let go, or I'll throw you out!" The voice carried a hint of threat.

Maine Coon: "Meow."

"Trying to be cute won't work, let go!"

Lu Lingzhou spoke coldly, his gaze equally cold. If the Maine Coon didn't let go, he would really throw it out.

They started fighting as soon as they arrived at his house. How can they expect to have a peaceful life from now on?

The Maine Coon let go and landed on the coffee table, watching Lu Lingzhou hang Aikeres on the coat rack next to it.

With no footholds nearby, the Maine Coon couldn't catch the cat and could only sit on the coffee table and watch.

Xiao Ranran seemed to realize they were fighting, climbed off the sofa, went over, and patted the Maine Coon's head. "Good boy/girl, you can't fight."

"Meow~" The Maine Coon rubbed against Xiao Ranran's little hand affectionately, almost pouncing on her.

Fortunately, Lu Lingzhou turned around in time and caught Xiao Ranran; otherwise, she might have fallen to the ground.

Sigh, what a worry.

This was the first time Lu Lingzhou had ever been so worried; he had never felt this anxious even when negotiating deals worth tens or hundreds of millions.

The robot butler was cleaning up nearby.

Previously, Lu Lingzhou had searched around and turned off its anthropomorphic mode, so now it's just a machine butler that follows instructions.

This is better than nothing; the house can't withstand any more damage.

He didn't have the extra energy to deal with an unreliable machine butler.

In the evening, Lu Tingchen returned home. When he arrived, Lu Lingzhou was having dinner with Xiao Ranran and Muchen.

"Crispy and crumbly".

"Uncle Lu."

"Have you eaten? If not, come and eat."

Lu Tingchen walked over, patted Xiao Ranran's head, then patted Mu Chen's shoulder, and sat down on the chair next to Lu Lingzhou.

The maid brought over the tableware, set it out, and added two of Lu Tingchen's favorite dishes.

Suddenly noticing the cat nearby, Lu Tingchen asked in confusion, "Hey, where did this cat come from? What's it doing here?"

"It's so fat, could it be someone's pet?"

Stray cats aren't that delicate or that fat.

Besides, very few people would abandon a Maine Coon.

Speaking of this, Lu Lingzhou became somewhat anxious.

He took a bite of the fish ball and said wearily, "Let's talk about this after dinner. Let's eat now."

"it is good."

Lu Tingchen keenly sensed that something might be wrong, so he lowered his head to eat, but his mind was racing, trying to figure out what it might be.

After dinner, Lu Lingzhou carried Xiao Ranran to wash his hands and face, then returned to the sofa to play with him.

Mu Chen had already told Lu Tingchen about the Maine Coon cat, and Lu Tingchen was now dumbfounded.

I sat there hugging a cushion, staring blankly at the Maine Coon cat sitting on the coffee table.

"Dude, bats are one thing, but now there's a cat too?"

"Is this an unconventional approach?"

"You think I wanted to? Did I even have a choice?" Lu Lingzhou retorted calmly, propping his forehead up against the sofa as he watched Xiao Ranran playing with building blocks on the carpet.

"Sweetie, Daddy wants to talk to you about something."

Xiao Ranran immediately turned her head, "What?"

She blinked her eyes, looking completely innocent.

Lu Lingzhou: "Let's turn the last father into a human being."

He really couldn't take it anymore.

If another special race were to arrive, Lu Yuan would never have a peaceful day.

Xiao Ranran stared at him blankly, not quite understanding what he meant.

Dad turned into a human?

What happened?

Like Ultraman on TV?

Seeing Xiao Ranran's confused expression, Lu Lingzhou sighed.

The little guy doesn't understand either.

¥

The Maine Coon cats settled in Lu Garden, and every day a cat-bat battle erupted, resulting in either shattered vases or toppled shelves...

Lu Lingzhou now wanted to throw those two things out; they were too annoying to look at.

"Pot, pot."

"Pot, pot."

"Hey, I'm here."

Mu Chen came out of the kitchen, holding a seafood and mushroom pancake that the chef had just made.

"What's wrong, little one?"

Xiao Ranran pointed at Murui on the TV and said, "Beep beep."

"Looking for it, beep beep."

He hadn't seen his father for a very long time and missed him.

Mu Chen looked at the TV, which was showing a variety show featuring Murui. The little guy didn't understand it, but he liked it because Murui was on it.

Mu Chen crouched down and hugged Xiao Ranran. "Little one, do you want to go find Uncle Mu?"

Xiao Ranran nodded: "Mmm, let's find it, beep beep."

"Walk."

He wants to find his father.

"No rush, brother, call Uncle Lu first. We'll go out once Uncle Lu agrees."

"Little one, eat first. I'll go call Uncle Lu."

"Okay~"

Little Ranran sat down on the green turtle shell. Just as he picked up a seafood and mushroom pancake, the Maine Coon cat came over and sat down beside him. Then it slowly climbed down and quietly guarded him.

Mu Chen got the phone and called Lu Lingzhou.

"Uncle Lu, Zai Zai wants to go see Uncle Mu. He says he misses him."

Lu Lingzhou: "I'll ask him if he's free. If he is, you can bring Ranran over."

"OK."

A few minutes later, Mu Chen's phone rang. After answering, Lu Lingzhou asked him to bring Mu Qing and Mu Lan to find Mu Rui and even gave him their location.

Mu Chen dressed Xiao Ranran, packed his water bottle, and put the seafood and mushroom pancakes he hadn't finished in a box before carrying him out the door.

The Maine Coon wanted to go too, but Mu Chen wouldn't allow it.

Let Uncle Mu relax a little longer, otherwise he's worried he might collapse.

Fearing the Maine Coon wouldn't listen, Mu Chen even had Xiao Ranran talk to the Maine Coon before they were able to leave Lu Garden.

But he didn't expect that this departure would almost cause Ekris trouble.

"Beep beep."

Little Ranran sat in her car seat, clapping her hands happily as she thought about seeing her father, Mu.

On the way there, Murui called to say he would wait for them downstairs and that they must call him when they arrived so he could come pick them up.

After Mu Chen agreed, he handed the phone to Xiao Ranran.

"Beep beep."

"Oh, my sweet baby."

Murui hadn't seen the little guy for a long time. Recently, she had been busy filming, dealing with some messy things at the Mu family, and also helping Mu Lang with his physical problems. She was constantly on the go and could only call Xiao Ranran every night.

"My sweet baby, do you miss Daddy? Daddy misses you too. We'll be there soon, and Daddy will come to pick you up."

"Okay, I miss Dad."

"Ranran misses her dad."

Hearing Xiao Ranran miss him, Murui felt a little like crying for some reason.

Is this what it feels like to have someone at home caring for you? He understood.

"Yes, Daddy misses Xiaobao too. We'll see each other soon."

Murui sat on the sofa and, unable to contain herself, pulled out a tissue to wipe away her tears.

She burst into tears after just one sentence.

They're hopeless.

What's there to cry about?

knock knock knock

"Brother Mu, Brother Mu."

Hearing his assistant's frantic calls, Murui told Xiaoranran that he would see her in a bit and then hung up.

Little Ranran looked at the black screen of her phone and pouted unhappily.

"Bang, hang up."

"Ranran, I'm not happy."

Mu Chen took the phone and put it in his pocket, then reached out and hugged Xiao Ranran. "It's okay, Uncle Mu must have something to do. You heard someone knocking on the door just now, didn't you, little one?"

"We'll be there soon, and then we can meet."

"Good boy/girl."

With a few words of comfort, Xiao Ranran's mood returned, and she obediently leaned against Mu Chen, her eyes fixed on the road ahead.

"Brother, how much longer?"

Mu Chen stroked his little head, "It'll be soon."

He then took out a map navigation app, pointed to the green progress bar, and said, "Look, we're still this far away from where we are."

Little Ranran watched the green progress bar, where a car was running, getting closer and closer to the destination...

"We're almost there."

"Yes, we're almost there, just around the corner."

Little Ranran was visibly happy again, her dark eyes filled with anticipation.

Following Murui's instructions, Mu Qing drove the car into the underground parking garage. After parking, she did not get out of the car but waited for Murui to come over.

Just as Xiao Ranran was peering out the window, Murui, wearing a hat and dressed in black, appeared.

"Beep beep."

Little Ranran excitedly patted the window, her fair face full of joy.

Murui also saw the little guy lying on the car window, smiled, and strode over.

Gently open the car door and hold the little dumpling in your arms.

"Beep beep."

"Xiao Bao".

Holding the little dumpling, Murui felt that all the hard work of the past few days had been worthwhile.

Murui took a deep breath of the milky scent emanating from him, and felt a surge of excitement.

"Let's go up."

"it is good."

Mu Chen followed Mu Rui with his small schoolbag, and to avoid being seen, he also put on a hat and a mask.

He doesn't want too much attention on him.

Mu Qing stayed in the car, while Mu Lan got in.

Take the elevator to the fifth floor, the floor where Murui is filming. This hotel is owned by the Murui Group.

Therefore, he privately arranged for the fifth floor of the hotel to be closed to the public, which now makes it convenient for Xiao Ranran to come over.

Yan Taiji kept an eye out for people in the corridor, and only after making sure there weren't many people around did Mu Rui carry Xiao Ranran back to the hotel room.

When Yan Taiji saw his ancestor holding a child, accompanied by a mysterious man and woman, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Ancestor, what are you doing now?"

"You said someone was coming to visit the set, could this be...?"

Little Ranran remembered Yan Taiji, revealed her fair and tender little face, looked at him, and waved her little hand, "Susu, okay~"

Upon seeing Xiao Ranran's face, Yan Taiji exclaimed "Holy crap!", which made Murui frown in displeasure.

"What are you saying? Don't set a bad example for the children."

Yan Taiji covered his mouth, and only after making sure the door was closed did he walk over. "Why did you bring the young master of the Lu family here?"

"Does President Lu know?"

"You two aren't actually having an affair, are you?"

Murui ignored him, placed Xiao Ranran on the sofa, and patted his forehead, "Good boy."

The room was heated, and Murui was worried that he was too hot and thirsty, so she took off two more pieces of clothing for him.

Mu Chen went to the water and handed the kettle to Xiao Ranran.

Xiao Ranran took a few big gulps, shoved the water bottle into Mu Chen's arms, turned around and threw herself into Mu Rui's arms, refusing to get up, her little hands clutching his clothes.

"Beep beep."

"Yes, Dad is here."

Upon hearing this address, Yan Taiji seemed to realize something, and he backed away while covering his mouth.

Oh my god, I hope he won't be silenced.

He backed away without looking where he was going and bumped into Mu Lan.

Mu Lan was also a little helpless. No matter where she retreated, this person would go there, and in the end, she just bumped into him.

Yan Taiji plopped down on the carpet and was about to get up when a fair hand reached out in front of him.

"Are you alright?"

Yan Taiji slowly raised his head and saw Mu Lan's indifferent face. In a daze, he placed his hand in her palm.

"No, it's nothing."

Mu Lan pulled him up and walked past him to the window.

He glanced at the distance and nodded.

Hmm, he shouldn't be able to bump into it here, unless he's blind.

Yan Taiji, however, seemed to have lost his soul, holding the hand that Mu Lan had held, and stood there in place.

What a nice view.

And she's aloof.

Murui was talking while holding the cuddly little dumpling, and didn't notice anything unusual about him.

"Little Bao, Daddy's going to take some photos in a little while, it'll take about an hour. Little Bao, be a good boy and wait here for Daddy to come back, okay?"

After filming GG, he'll be free. He can play with Xiao Ranran and have dinner with him.

"Okay, listen to what I have to say."

Little Ranran spoke slowly and deliberately, then snuggled close to Murui, gently rubbing her little head against his chest, her face full of happiness.

Murray kissed his little face, very happy.

Such a heartwarming little baby.

Mu Chen took out the homework Lu Lingzhou had assigned him and sat down to write it slowly. With each assignment, he was on the verge of collapse.

Soon, half an hour was up, and Murray had to go take pictures of GG.

Reluctantly, she kissed Xiao Ranran's cheek, hugged him, and received several more sweet, milky kisses before reluctantly leaving.
