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

The other people in the store also did not raise any objections.

However, after they left, based on her understanding of her troublesome younger sister, Sister Meng sensed a conspiracy.

"Could it be that this guy... staged it all himself?"

Thinking about it that way, she realized that Lu Chengzhou was in danger.

Thinking about what Meng Wanyu had done to him before, she felt very uneasy.

So, he made up an excuse and secretly followed them.

……

……

The neighborhood where Meng Wanyu lives is naturally a high-end community with all kinds of facilities.

This wasn't Lu Chengzhou's first time here, but it was the first time he had accompanied her to such a far place.

This area consists mostly of villas that are not yet occupied.

Behind it was an undeveloped woodland.

There's always a slightly eerie atmosphere around this time of evening.

"Boss, why do you look so wary?" Meng Wanyu asked him curiously.

Lu Chengzhou shook his head.

He felt extremely apologetic for having just had the strange thought that "I might have been kidnapped by Miss Meng."

How could that be!

With the power bestowed upon me by the system, who could possibly be trapped by me?

Look at Meng Wanyu's thin arms and legs...

Can she do it?

He could take on ten girls as delicate as her by himself.

I swiped my card and entered the last door.

Lu Chengzhou looked at the luxurious building in front of him and clicked his tongue.

To be honest, the style is quite unique.

Passing by a group of villas that looked much the same, suddenly seeing such a Gothic-style building was truly a refreshing sight.

Meng Wanyu stepped forward and rang the doorbell.

Soon, a blonde, blue-eyed girl wearing a white dress came and opened the door.

"Are you here to take Katie away?"

The little girl looked at the two of them timidly.

Lu Chengzhou remembered the note on the order, which said, "We hope you will come and pick up Katie and take good care of her."

That must be correct.

So Lu Chengzhou nodded.

Where is Katie?

The little girl stretched out her hand and pointed to the rabbit doll at her feet: "It's Katie."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chengzhou and Meng Wanyu exchanged a glance.

They all had the idea that the child might have placed the wrong order.

"So, little friend, do you want us to take Katie away?" Meng Wanyu asked again patiently.

"Mmm!" the little girl smiled sweetly and said, "Shall we go now?"

Lu Chengzhou sighed and said, "I think we can't accept this order. I'm sorry, kid."

"and many more!"

The little girl grabbed Lu Chengzhou's clothes, blocking his way.

"There are two Katies here, you have to take one with you!"

Faced with this persistent little girl who was probably only at a kindergarten level, Lu Chengzhou felt that the best solution was to call the person who placed the order.

The phone rang for a long time before it was finally answered.

On the other end of the phone was the voice of a woman speaking British English.

Meng Wanyu took the phone and communicated with the other party without any difficulty.

After hanging up the phone, her expression turned serious.

"Boss, this irresponsible woman told us that Katie, who was supposed to be in foster care for seven days, is this child."

"what?"

Lu Chengzhou was dumbfounded.

"Childcare? We're a pet boarding service!"

Meng Wanyu shrugged:

"So, we now have two options. The first option is to leave directly and call the police while we're at it."

"The second option is to take her away and accept the one million yuan startup fund donated to us by them."

018. I'm not a quest reward item!

This left Lu Chengzhou both amused and exasperated.

"Do I look like someone who's short of a million or two?"

He asked Meng Wanyu this question.

Meng Wanyu shrugged.

“You don’t seem like someone who’s short of money, but you must be someone who likes money.”

Lu Chengzhou lowered his head and glanced at the blond, blue-eyed little girl at his feet. She was also looking at him timidly, seemingly worried that he would abandon her, and immediately hugged his leg.

"Brother~"

The sweet, crisp "brother" melted Lu Chengzhou's heart.

He'd never really liked children, but now he couldn't bring himself to reject her.

Meng Wanyu stroked her chin thoughtfully, and said, "In this situation, it's no longer about money, Mr. Lu. The child is alone here, and both parents have temporarily left. If we just ignore it..."

Will they starve to death?

Lu Chengzhou speaks very directly.

Meng Wanyu still shrugged: "Well, it's hard to say. If her parents prepared food for her before they left, she shouldn't have starved to death."

As she spoke, she squatted down and patted the little guy's head.

Do you have any food in your refrigerator?

The little guy shook his head: "It's empty inside!"

"So, did your parents leave you any living expenses?"

The little guy still shook his head: "I don't have any money~"

Looking at her dazed and silly appearance, Lu Chengzhou thought she really was like a little pet.

However, these parents are really carefree...

It's unbelievable that someone would entrust such a young child to pet boarding.

"Let's go, Mr. Lu. I'm afraid we'll have to take on this mess."

Meng Wanyu had a great attitude and a bright smile.

Looking at her expression, Lu Chengzhou couldn't help but suspect that she might be up to no good again.

What are they trying to do?

She doesn't seem like someone who likes children.

As Meng Wanyu led the little one away from the residential area, Lu Chengzhou watched her with a thoughtful look the whole time.

Back in the shop, everyone else was also amazed when they saw the little guy.

Sister Meng looked at Lu Chengzhou with a strange expression.

It seems to be questioning his character.

Lu Chengzhou quickly explained the truth.

"These parents are really inconsiderate."

Sister Meng looked at the little girl with sympathy.

"So, how long will we be taking care of her?"

Jiang Aiyu had already led the little girl to her side and given her a handful of candy—candy that the store used to entertain guests, which Lu Chengzhou had bought.

The little girl held the candy and sweetly called out, "Sister!"

Lu Chengzhou sat down in his own boss's chair, crossed his legs, rested his chin on his hand, and sized up the little guy.

"One week."

"And what's her name?"

"Katie."

"Oh, this name sounds like...some kind of anime character."

The people in the shop were discussing it animatedly.

As the central figure in the conversation, Katie simply blinked and curiously observed them.

These young ladies are all incredibly beautiful.
