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

"Waaaaah..."

So, Meng Wanyu, who had never shown much compassion or patience towards others, held the child and waited until dawn.

Sister Meng couldn't sleep either; she spent the whole night thinking about what kind of person could be capable of harming such a child.

Could it be that Katie's parents are not her biological parents?

Or perhaps her parents were some kind of mad scientist who wanted to experiment on their child?

All sorts of possibilities lingered in Sister Meng's mind.

During breakfast time, Lu Chengzhou ordered takeout for everyone.

Century egg and lean pork congee, hamburgers, milk tea, soy milk...

He ordered one of every breakfast available nearby.

The paper bags used for takeout orders filled an entire table.

"Good morning, Miss Meng and Miss Meng, and Katie."

Mr. Lu, who is usually very stingy, is being so considerate today.

Meng Wanyu didn't think that this kind of thoughtfulness was for the two of them, who were adults.

It's truly unexpected that the cunning Boss Lu has such a warm and caring side.

The appearance of little Katie has indeed brought out some of Mr. Lu's hidden talents.

"Why are you looking at me? Eat something."

Lu Chengzhou handed a bowl of porridge to Miss Meng, who was in a daze.

Then, he handed a bowl to Sister Meng as well.

This subtle sequence of events made Meng Wanyu hum again.

"So, in Boss Lu's heart, I am more important than my sister?"

It was clearly a deliberately provocative tone.

Sister Meng raised her head and looked at Lu Chengzhou, wanting to see how he planned to deal with her sister's challenge.

Lu Chengzhou straightened his clothes and said casually, "In my heart, you are both excellent employees. How can there be a difference in rank?"

Outstanding employee...

Meng Wanyu forked a piece of preserved egg and put it into his bowl.

"You scumbag boss, please."

"I admire your quality of not recognizing people once you've pulled up your pants."

"They call her a little vixen in the office, but call her an outstanding employee when they're out in the office."

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Despite being subjected to her sarcastic remarks, Boss Lu remained unfazed and unperturbed.

He always felt that such bickering scenes had happened before in his memory.

It's really hard to seriously try to decipher her sarcastic remarks.

He knew she wasn't serious either.

"Tsk, I didn't put any vinegar in my porridge, so why does it smell so sour?"

Lu Chengzhou returned her sarcastic remarks to her.

"Miss Meng, are you jealous?"

Meng Wanyu's smug smile froze instantly.

Jealous...?

Why would a dignified Miss Meng be jealous?

Pah, stop being so narcissistic, you bastard!

Her older sister gently kicked her under the table to keep her calm.

There's a little girl at this table too.

You two adults are fighting over a girl, can't you even think about the child?

However, the easygoing little Katie just quietly ate her breakfast and absolutely did not participate in their adult battle.

……

"Now, I'll assign today's tasks."

"Miss Meng Wanyu, you'll be in charge of the cat café."

"Ms. Meng Jingting, you will be in charge of the milk tea shop over there."

Lu Chengzhou took the children to the home of the psychologist they had arranged to meet.

This decision was made after being discussed at the dinner table.

Sister Meng has already told Lu Chengzhou about Katie's performance last night.

Lu Chengzhou also felt that this matter was of great importance and should be resolved as soon as possible.

When he arrived at the neighborhood where the psychologist lived with his child, he received a call from Jiang Aiyu.

"Mr. Lu, have you taken Katie to see a doctor?"

"No need to go, just bring her here."

"I do know a little about medicine."

Lu Chengzhou was stunned for a moment.

But we're already at their doorstep, wouldn't it be inappropriate not to pay them a visit?

After all, this is a well-known psychological counselor in Beicheng, the kind who charges high prices and is difficult to book.

"Is this Mr. Lu?"

The counselor's door opened.

A middle-aged woman, probably around fifty years old, was carrying trash out to throw it away.

However, she didn't look like a counselor; she looked more like a nanny in the counselor's home.

She smiled kindly and gave Lu Chengzhou directions.

"My master is waiting for you two upstairs, please go quickly."

020. The Secret of the Little Girl's Body

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Lu Chengzhou led the children to the rooftop garden on the second floor.

From the outside, you really wouldn't guess that this house is such a hidden gem.

It's designed with a futuristic, high-tech feel, which is truly refreshing.

The consultant was a young woman, but her appearance was unremarkable; she wasn't the type to easily leave an impression.

After Lu Chengzhou took his seat, they greeted each other politely.

Immediately afterwards, the counselor's gaze fell directly on Katie.

The two of them stared at each other for a while.

Suddenly, the counselor seemed to have thought of something, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She had indeed seen this little girl before.

“Mr. Lu, if it’s convenient, please go out first. I’d like to have a private chat with this young lady.”

The counselor said this, giving him an apologetic smile.

"There are snacks and drinks in the living room over there, and you can watch TV for a while."

Hearing her say that, Lu Chengzhou nodded.

After he left, the counselor closed the door.

Katie looked at her warily.

“Katie, we meet again. I wonder if you still remember me. When you first came to North City, I went to your house to treat you.”

Katie shook her head.

"Really? That makes sense. You were only two years old then, so it's unlikely you'd remember me."

The counselor adjusted his glasses, picked up a chair, and sat down opposite Katie.

Sunlight streamed through the curtains, dappling the floor with its rays.

Katie was holding the rabbit doll in her arms.

This unfamiliar environment made her very nervous and uneasy.

She looked around, seemingly searching for an escape route.

The counselor pushed the chair closer to her.

This blocked her escape route.

"Actually, I've been doing some research on the soul lately."

The counselor rested his chin on his hand, looking at her lazily.

"If you're interested, please cooperate with me more. Maybe I can help you solve your current problem."

Upon hearing this, Katie's gaze became even more wary.

It was precisely this sudden heightened defensiveness that made the counselor even more certain of his initial diagnosis of Katie.

At that time, she explored a corner of Katie's inner secrets through methods such as psychotherapy and hypnosis.

At first, she thought it was something like multiple personality disorder...
