Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

"It's nothing, I just..."

Meng Wanyu pursed her lips.

The words and phrases were being painstakingly crafted.

Exhale softly.

Finally, she took a step and walked towards him.

"I just miss you a little, is that not allowed?"

She spoke her most heartfelt words in the quietest voice, right where she was closest to him.

Lu Chengzhou nodded.

Welcome back.

He stood up and gave his seat to Meng Wanyu.

Meng Wanyu sat in this incredibly familiar spot, yet unexpectedly, it stirred up a sense of estrangement within her.

Seeing her deliberately straight back and her legs neatly together like a primary school student, Lu Chengzhou couldn't help but gently pat her shoulder.

"Miss Meng, there's something strange about you?"

"no!"

"You seem a little nervous?"

"no!"

"Seriously, did you come here to tell me some bad news?"

"no!"

Meng Wanyu's cheeks began to burn after her three consecutive "no" attacks, and her tone returned to its former arrogance: "I said, can you please stop asking such strange questions? Can't you be serious for once!"

"Alright then, I'll ask a serious question."

Lu Chengzhou squatted down in front of her, looked up, and sized her up.

Meng Wanyu couldn't back down now, even if she wanted to.

I could only stubbornly raise my head, stare at the ceiling, and count the crystals on the chandelier.

"Miss Meng, you..."

Seeing her like this, Lu Chengzhou couldn't help but reach out, pinch her chin, and force her to lower her head slightly to meet his gaze.

"Did you do something to betray me?"

"..." I wanted to bite him.

"Or did you go on blind dates and find a new bed partner after you went back?"

"..." I want to bite him to death!

bang——

Unable to dodge, Meng Wanyu had no choice but to deliver a headbutt to him.

The result of doing this is that now both of them have to cover their heads and keep hissing.

Meng Wanyu said angrily, "Is this your serious question?! Idiot, bastard!"

Lu Chengzhou said helplessly, "Because you look like a weasel that's stolen a chicken..."

bang——

Another headbutt.

Now, both of them felt dizzy.

Taking advantage of the dizziness, Meng Wanyu raised her voice and said, "You're so annoying, Lu Chengzhou! When did you become so irritating?!"

Lu Chengzhou squinted at her.

"Yes, that's right, I left the Meng family. I severed my ties with that family. From now on, I'm no longer the illustrious Miss Meng. What are you going to do about it!"

"Do you want to kick me out right now?!"

"Do you want to start mocking me right now?"

Lu Chengzhou still squinted at her.

The hand that was rubbing his head quickly stopped.

Then, it was placed on her head.

I gently stroked it.

It's like petting Meng Zha Zha's cat, which always gets its fur standing on end.

At this moment, Meng Wanyu's grievances completely ceased.

Lu Chengzhou still spoke in that helpless tone: "Alright, stop talking, I understand you."

They're just having a disagreement.

She had a disagreement with her father.

This kind of thing is quite common.

Lu Chengzhou didn't think it was a big deal.

"Do you know that from today onwards, I can no longer protect you?"

Meng Wanyu looked at him seriously.

Do you really understand what I mean?

Lu Chengzhou nodded.

What's so hard to understand about that?

It's not an alien language, right?

On the other hand, a head pat is truly a pleasant thing...

Lu Chengzhou felt like he couldn't stop.

When Meng Wanyu finally couldn't bear it any longer and slapped his hand away, he sighed regretfully.

"Lu Chengzhou, I've discovered you're a complete slacker."

Meng Wanyu did not see the reactions she had imagined from him.

I felt both relieved and somewhat angry at their lack of ambition.

This salted fish!

They didn't even realize they should seize this opportunity to thoroughly trample on her dignity!

What a spineless bastard... Hmph.

“I say, what’s wrong with being a lazy bum?” Lu Chengzhou was not ashamed, but rather proud: “It just so happens that you can also try being a lazy bum for a while. Just relax and enjoy life.”

Meng Wanyu pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

Strangely enough, all the worries she had accumulated along the way were now gone.

On the bright side, Lu Chengzhou's laid-back attitude is truly remarkable; even she has been directly influenced by it.

Think of it in a negative light...

Perhaps, he was also being perfunctory with her?

How much of his obedience to her wasn't due to her family's powerful background?

Now, that massive backdrop is gone.

Will he still obey her?

Meng Wanyu's worries, captured by her own meticulous mind, resurfaced and became a disaster in her heart.

……

Later that day, Lu Chengzhou received a call from Boss Meng.

When the call came in, Mr. Meng on the other end specifically asked, "Are you alone right now?" Only after receiving an affirmative answer did Mr. Meng continue:

"Now, I am officially handing over this Yicheng Winery to you."

"From now on, you will no longer be the acting owner of the manor, but the real owner."

"I also need to ask you to take better care of my two good-for-nothing daughters."

"However, while I am taking care of them, I do not want you to indulge them or cover them up."

"I want them to experience some hardship, but I don't want them to suffer. Do you understand what I mean?"

Suffering and torment can actually be two separate concepts?

Lu Chengzhou scratched his head, looking sullen.

This task is way too difficult!

He couldn't bear to let the two of them suffer, whether it was hardship or torment.

After all, one is a gentle and kind older sister, and the other is a thoughtful and meticulous younger sister.

Both of them were his true benefactors.

Both emotionally and rationally, he only wanted to be their safe haven, not the one who would bring them storms.

He certainly enjoys the feeling of being in control, but not to the point where he would abandon his principles.

"Boss Meng, this task of yours is too difficult."

"what?!"

Lu Chengzhou said bluntly, "I definitely can't complete it. You should find someone else who can do it better."

Just as he was about to hang up, Boss Meng on the other end said, "Are you going to refuse a heartbroken father's request?"

After the two sisters left, Boss Meng couldn't sleep for nights on end.

His two daughters were the most important people in his life.
