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

Lu Lingzhou was looking down at the little guy in his arms when he heard Lu Tingchen's words and refused without thinking.

"No, but you can let her come over by herself."

He would never go back to the old house in his life, and he didn't want to see those disgusting people again.

"Okay, I told her, and she also said that she bought Ranran new clothes and made some snacks by hand."

"By the way, when is Ranran's birthday?"

That's a very insightful question.

Lu Lingzhou looked at Mu Chen. He didn't know anything about this, and the old man hadn't mentioned it either.

Mu Chen looked up. "The aquatic tribes don't celebrate birthdays."

"But Ranran was born on January 12th, according to land time."

"January 12th? Isn't that the day before Chinese New Year?" Lu Tingchen was somewhat surprised. "That's too much of a coincidence."

"However, Double Happiness is also very good."

January 12th.

Lu Lingzhou muttered a few words, looked at the little guy in his arms who was holding the milk bottle and drinking milk attentively, and twitched the corners of his mouth.

My first birthday on land seems like it should definitely be celebrated in a big way.

For no other reason than that this is what he, as a father, should give to his son.

"Ranran must be two years old now, right after her birthday?"

Mu Chen: "In human terms, we'd say two years old, but for mermaids, it's one hundred and fifty-one years old."

"It takes eight hundred years to grow into an adult mermaid."

Upon hearing the time and age, Lu Tingchen looked at the small dumpling.

I never imagined that someone so young could be 150 years old. It's unbelievable.

However, it's no wonder that some people are obsessed with mermaids, even spending a lot of money to catch them. Their long lifespan alone is enough to dazzle people.

Especially for those who hold high positions but have to relinquish their power at a certain age, longevity is their only wish.

As Lu Tingchen thought about these things, his eyes darkened.

Ranran must protect it, especially her identity as a mermaid.

Fortunately, only a few of them know about it now.

"Brother, why don't we take this opportunity to prepare a birthday party for Ranran? We don't need too many people, just the few of us."

"I can also ask my mom to come in a couple of days."

Lu Lingzhou: "Yes, I had the same thought."

"You'll make the arrangements?"

Lu Tingchen readily agreed; he wouldn't trust anyone else with the task.

The robot butler, which was mopping the floor, rolled its glass eyes and silently noted down January 12th.

The little master's birthday must be remembered and not forgotten.

We had hot pot for lunch; it was piping hot and made us feel warm and cozy.

During dinner, Lu Lingzhou brought up the matter with Mu Rui, and Mu Rui agreed.

For your first birthday, you have to make a big deal out of it.

Moreover, he also needs to think about what gift to give the little guy.

"By the way, my personal variety show will be filmed after the New Year, around January 29th. It starts filming from the moment I leave home. I'm wondering if I should find another house to film in."

He doesn't really want outsiders to know where he lives.

Knowing that those obsessive fans are coming again, I'll be forced to move again.

"We can find another place. I have a vacant duplex in the city center. If you need it, you can take it. It's fully furnished, and you can move in after a little cleaning. Plus, it's not far from your home."

Lu Lingzhou offered his suggestion.

Murui agreed without hesitation. Lu Lingzhou's places must all be very good, so why should he be picky?

Besides, aren't people online saying he's arrogant? Well then, let him be arrogant. The new president of the Mu Group has never been afraid of anyone.

"Okay, I'll have Jiang Wen arrange for a cleaning lady to clean up in a bit. You can just take Xiao Ranran there then."

"Okay, thanks, Lao Lu."

Murray raised his drink glass, ready to clink glasses with him.

Lu Lingzhou also touched hands with him, which was a way of acknowledging his thanks.

Murui took a bite of meat and accidentally burned himself with the broth. He looked around but couldn't find any tissues, so he got up and went to the living room to get one, bringing the whole bag with him.

But it suddenly stopped.

He turned his head and looked at the cage on the clothes rack.

empty.

Empty?

"Old Lu, the cage's empty!"

He was shocked!

He rushed to the dining room and stood in front of Lu Lingzhou, pointing at the cage in the living room.

"It's empty. Where are the bats? And the bird? Is it dead?"

I didn't hear Mr. Lin mention yesterday that this bat is not going to live much longer.

The people at the table were startled by his sudden shout, but after they understood what he was saying, they buried their heads and continued eating.

The only one who looked up at him was the one who took a bite of the shrimp in his hand.

"Bang! What? It's gone?"

Ranran didn't understand.

Little Ranran stared at him with her big, round eyes, looking both confused and curious.

Murui realized he had overreacted and scratched his head. "Ah, it's okay, it's okay, Ranran, just eat your food."

"Oh, okay."

Xiao Ranran lowered her head and continued to struggle with the shrimp in her hand. When she saw the fish handed to her, she didn't forget to open her mouth and eat it.

"Delicious! Thank you! Bah!"

"You're welcome. Would you like some more?"

"I want it all!"

In short, those words made Lu Lingzhou feel at ease.

"Okay, then Daddy will put some more on Xiaoguai's plate."

"Uh-huh."

As Lu Lingzhou was picking bones from the fish, Mu Rui leaned over and whispered, "You knew all along? Where did you go? Did you really die?"

"It's fine if he dies, at least there's one less person to fight over."

Lu Lingzhou: ...

"He left, I don't know where he went. He left last night. Before he left, he went to the second floor and heard us talking. He also went into your room to check on Ranran. But judging from his reaction, he probably can't accept the sudden pregnancy."

Lu Lingzhou spoke very softly, afraid that the little one would cry if he heard.

"You won't accept it?" Murui's voice rose a little, but he noticed that Xiao Ranran's gaze had lowered again.

"He won't even accept such a well-behaved kid? Is he crazy?"

"But it's okay, it's good to have one less person trying to steal your child."

Murray's thoughts grew increasingly rosy.

The cat on the ground is nothing; now there's only one father left, and nobody knows who he is.

I hope he's a normal person.

After dinner, the group decorated the house together. Red lanterns, firecrackers, and other decorations were hung throughout the room. Paper-cut window decorations were pasted on the windows, and red lanterns were hung at the door. Against the backdrop of the snow outside, the festive red color was particularly dazzling.

"Time flies, the New Year is almost here."

"This is my first Chinese New Year, and it's the one I've been looking forward to the most."

Murui looked at the red lanterns, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Here you go."

Xiao Ranran came out, hugged Murui's leg, and handed him the Want Want milk in her hand.

The red packaging box also complements the scene perfectly.

Murui took the milk, then picked up Xiao Ranran and kissed his cheek.

"Thank you, Ranran."

Thank you for choosing me to be your father; it has given me a different kind of expectation.

"Dad, I love you."

Little Ranran made a heart shape with her hands, looking very well-behaved. She leaned over and gave Murui a kiss on the cheek, then shyly leaned on his shoulder.

Murui chuckled and hugged him tightly, "Daddy loves Xiaobao too."
