My baby is two and a half years old. Daddy, hurry up and make some milk!

The two little ones were having so much fun that their hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to their foreheads.

Lu Jianguo touched Le Bao's vest; it was a little damp. There was no towel around, so he could only wipe it off with a tissue.

Lu Shulang started to think about what he had done today. Before he got home, he was thinking about how to keep his mother, Wen Xian, from finding out.

"Grandpa, can I take my little sister to school today without telling Mom?"

Lu Jianguo snorted upon hearing this:

"Don't worry, I won't tell your mom when I get back."

You won't tell anyone when you go back, because your mom already knows.

"Thank you, Grandpa. You're the best."

Having settled things with his grandfather, Lu Shulang breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Hello, Grandpa."

Le Bao chimed in from the side. Ever since she returned to the Lu family, her grandfather had given her whatever she wanted; wasn't that wonderful? Lu Jianguo was so happy that he hugged her and kissed her several times. His granddaughter was the best; she was so sweet.

"Little sister, please don't tell anyone you went to school with me today when you get home, okay?"

Le Bao is a big sieve; he can't keep anything to himself.

Why?

Le Bao is used to sharing everything with her family. She had a lot of fun at school today and she wants to go home and tell her mother so that she can go to school too.

"My mom is a tigress. If she finds out I secretly took you to school, she'll definitely beat me to death."

This fearless troublemaker only fears two people: his mother, Wen Xian, and his uncle, Lu Chenyue.

"I won't nag, brother won't hit me."

"Little sister, your brother loves you to death."

Lu Shulang excitedly hugged Le Bao and kissed her face passionately.

"I hope my buddy doesn't die."

Le Bao pushed his brother away while telling him not to die. Lu Shulang laughed heartily at the sight.

All I can say is that he laughed too soon.

Amidst their playful antics, the car arrived at the Lu family's residence. Lu Jianguo carried Le Bao out of the car, while Lu Shulang followed behind, carrying a large schoolbag.

"Mommy, where's Mommy?"

As soon as she entered the door, Le Bao started looking everywhere for her mother. She didn't see her father and aunt who had just returned home, who were sitting in the living room. Her little legs trotted around the kitchen and bathroom, searching thoroughly.

Finding no one on the first floor, she climbed the stairs herself, step by step, to look for the person on the second floor.

"Le Bao, your mom hasn't come back from work yet, why don't you play with your aunt first?"

Wen Xian picked up the little one who was climbing the stairs and took out a rag doll from her bag. She had seen her colleague give one to her child today and thought it was cute, so she went to the mall to buy one for Le Bao as well.

Le Bao held the cloth, then looked at Wen Xian, and blurted out three words:

"Tiger mom, howl!"

After saying that, he made a fierce face at Wen Xian, then turned around and went to Lu Chenyue's side, hugging his leg.

Mom said the big tiger was going to eat children, so she had to stay far away from it. Dad could drive the tiger away, so she chose the strongest person there.

"Baby, what did you just say?"

Wen Xian thought she had misheard, so she asked again.

"Cool as a tigress, she'll beat the pot."

This time, Wen Xian heard it clearly. She suppressed her temper and asked Le Bao in a gentle voice who had said it.

"Let's slurp it up, let it cool down."

The little guy betrayed his brother without hesitation, completely forgetting the promise he made to his brother in the car.

"Lu Shulang!"

The next second, a furious roar echoed in the living room.

Le Bao was startled and was held on Lu Chenyue's lap. She took her father's big hand and covered her little ears.

Lu Jianguo, who was standing nearby, had already quietly returned to his room. He was afraid that if his wife beat him too badly, he wouldn't be able to resist intervening, so he simply chose to avoid seeing or hearing it.

Lu Shulang, with a piece of crispy pork he had secretly eaten in the kitchen still in his mouth, rushed out upon hearing his mother's yelling:

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Seeing her son's greasy mouth, Wen Xian could no longer control her inner rage. She strode over, grabbed Lu Shulang, pressed him onto her lap, and started slapping his bottom repeatedly.

"I'm a tigress! Ah, secretly taking your sister to school, Lu Shulang, you've really made something of yourself. If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'll change my surname to yours."

Not only did she take the Lu family's precious child out without permission, but she also dared to call Le Bao a tigress in front of her, which has made Le Bao refuse to let her hold her now.

"If you don't discipline him for three days, he'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles"—that's a perfect description of him.

"Waaaaah, stop hitting me! I was wrong!"

Lu Shulang was like meat on a chopping board, unable to escape or win. He could only be unilaterally abused by his mother.

Seeing her brother's miserable state, Le Bao leaned against her father's chest, covering her little bottom with her hands, trembling.

Guoguo is right, Auntie really is a tigress, I'm so scared.

Seeing the little girl's timid yet eager expression, Lu Chenyue mischievously decided to tease her. It was her fault for calling for "Mom" as soon as she walked in; she couldn't even see her father when he was right in front of her. Now she knew to look for "Dad."

Lu Chenyue pretended to stand up and go upstairs, putting Le Bao, whom he was holding, on the ground.

Suddenly feeling unprotected, Le Bao stared blankly at his father as he stood up, realizing he was about to leave. The little guy was so anxious that he immediately hugged his father's leg and sat on his shoes.

"Daddy, baby loves you, loves you so much. Hug baby."

"Don't you only love your mother? Can't you see me at all?"

Lu Chenyue deliberately didn't make a move to hug him, giving him an expression as if they weren't familiar with each other.

"Baby loves Daddy, I'm here to see Daddy."

It means I saw you, but I just didn't want to talk to you.

Seeing tears welling up in the little guy's eyes, Lu Chenyue picked up the little dumpling sitting on his feet.

"Elbow, poop, elbow."

Le Bao, who was being picked up, pointed upstairs. She wanted to leave this terrible place because she was afraid that the tigress would beat her brother and then come to beat her.

After kissing Lu Chenyue twice on the cheek, Le Bao hugged her father's neck tightly, eager to go upstairs.

Lu Chenyue carried the little one upstairs to his study. He still had some work to do.

He had originally planned to give Tang Wanning a ride home after work, thinking it was her first day at work. However, his assistant came back and told him that Tang Wanning had left as soon as it was time to leave.

Wow, that's really great.

President Lu couldn't bring himself to text her, so he could only leave early and come back by himself.

Lu Shulang's screams downstairs were heart-wrenching, startling Le Bao.

"Daddy, baby is good, baby is obedient, I won't hit you."

Le Bao quickly pledged her loyalty to her father, saying she was being good and asking him not to hit her.

"Then will you still hit your father?"

He hadn't forgotten that the little guy had hit him several times already.

"I won't hit the poop, but I can't stand the poop."

Lu Chenyue smiled with satisfaction.

Lu Chenyue tried to put her down, but she stubbornly refused to put her feet down. At that moment, she felt safe only in her father's arms.

Having no other choice, Lu Chenyue could only carry her while handling official business.

"Daddy, want to watch Peppa Pig?"

After sitting for a while, the little guy couldn't sit still anymore and started squirming in Lu Chenyue's arms.

Lu Chenyue took out his phone, played Peppa Pig for her to watch, and continued to handle his official business.

Le Bao was engrossed in looking at his dad's phone when a video popped up. The little guy accidentally clicked "accept." A huge face appeared on the screen, startling Le Bao so much that he dropped the phone.

"Holy crap, Brother Yue, who's this?"

An excited voice came from the other end of the video call.

Lu Chenyue picked up his phone; the video call was with his brother and childhood friend, Xiao Nanfeng. Xiao Nanfeng had been beaten by Lu Chenyue a lot when they were kids, and when their parents couldn't control him, they'd ask Lu Chenyue to intervene.

Parents usually have limits when disciplining their children, but Lu Chenyue really hit them, hitting them hard. Therefore, none of the kids in his group dared to mess with him.

"Get to the point."

Lu Chenyue pointed the phone at himself.

"Brother Yue, look down a bit, I just saw it. Is the rumor true? You really do have a daughter?"

The news that Lu Chenyue had a daughter was not widely publicized; it was just circulating within their social circle.

"Um."

"Wow, it's really true! When can we meet our little niece?"

Wow!

The little guy suddenly blurted out two words and reached for the phone in his dad's hand.

Lu Chenyue's face was extremely gloomy as he stared at Xiao Nanfeng in the video:

"If you swear again, you'll lose your tongue."

"I was wrong, Brother Yue, I was wrong."

Xiao Nanfeng quickly apologized.

"By the way, Yue-ge, Ayan is back. We're having a welcome-back dinner for him tomorrow night. Why don't you bring your little niece to meet us?"

Feng Yan, one of Lu Chenyue's brothers, had just returned from abroad; the brothers hadn't seen each other for almost two years.

"Um."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Chenyue looked at the little dumpling who was trying to snatch the phone:

"Don't say that again, do you hear me?"

Wow!

The more you try to stop her from talking, the more excited she becomes.

"Alright, stop looking at your phone. You just said you'd be obedient. I'll talk to your mom about it when she gets back."

Upon hearing that she was going to tell her mother, the little girl immediately said she would be obedient.

You little brat, I can't handle you.
