Ch. 199 - 199
Wen Family Villa.
Smack!
"Hahaha, ah haha."
Smack!
"Haha, Daddy, ehehe."
Smack!
"Ehhahaha."
When Secretary Zhao entered, she looked at Lu Xing and Nannan playing in the living room with a look of pure confusion.
Nannan was wearing little bear pajamas, her face round and pink. At a glance, she looked so soft and "Q-bouncy" that you couldn't help but want to poke her cheeks!
But right now, the adorable Nannan was being bullied by a powerful great demon king.
Lu Xing sat on the carpet, his upper body leaning lazily against the sofa as he propped up his head. A playful smile danced on his lips while he watched Nannan.
Every time Nannan tried to stand up, he would use his long legs to gently trip her back down to the ground.
And so, the scene in the living room had entered a complete loop.
Nannan struggled to stand up, and Lu Xing tripped her with one foot.
Nannan struggled to stand up again, and Lu Xing tripped her again with one foot!
Nannan struggled to stand up again and again, and Lu Xing tripped her again and again with one foot!
Lu Xing wasn't using much force, and the carpet was thick enough that the falls didn't hurt. Nannan didn't cry; she just let out a silly, happy laugh before gathering her strength to try and stand up one more time.
Secretary Zhao simply couldn't bear to watch.
Is this how the post-00s generation raises a child?
Hearing someone enter, Lu Xing looked up and glanced her way.
"Wow, Sister Zhao, good evening. Working overtime again? There are washed cherries on the table, very fresh and sweet."
Secretary Zhao paused for a moment.
Is this the scene that CEO Wen gets to enjoy every day when she comes home?
Damn it!
No wonder CEO Wen isn't enthusiastic about going to work and runs out the door faster than anyone else as soon as the clock hits five!
Looking at Nannan's helpless, adoring smile, Secretary Zhao felt she should say something on behalf of the boss.
"Mr. Lu, please don't bully Nannan."
Hmm?
Lu Xing propped up his head and squinted his eyes with a smile that left Secretary Zhao momentarily dazed.
"How can you call it bullying? This is what a scholar would call 'the business of play.'"
"But..." Lu Xing glanced at his watch and bent down, easily scooping Nannan up. "It is indeed time for bed."
Nannan lay on Lu Xing's shoulder, pouting and whimpering to show she wasn't ready to sleep yet.
"No, no, no."
Lu Xing became even more childish than Nannan, mocking her tone.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Yes! I said it a second faster than you. You lost, hahaha!"
Nannan pouted. "How old is Daddy, really!"
Lu Xing pitched his voice higher and said with a proud air, "I am... for... ev... er... eigh... teen..."
"By the way, if your mom ever talks about her age in the future, you just say Mommy is forever eighteen."
"Okay!"
Secretary Zhao's eyes widened.
'Holy f*ck! It can be done like that?'
A second before Lu Xing closed the bedroom door, he poked his head back out to address Secretary Zhao.
"Sister Zhao, I am going to put Nannan to sleep. You can rest for a while. There is fruit on the table and drinks in the refrigerator."
Smack.
The door closed.
Secretary Zhao began to calculate her savings with tears in her eyes.
Damn it! She also wanted to hire this kind of "little fresh meat," ahhhhh!
After checking her bank balance, Secretary Zhao’s face was wet with bitter tears.
"Before, I looked down on men who lived off women. Now, I look down on myself for not having the ability to let a man live off me."
But then, thinking of Lu Xing’s "specifications," her envy faded into reality.
"You get what you pay for. I can't afford a Lu Xing."
With her current savings, the kind of man she could afford would be the type she'd have to call the police on if he so much as touched her fruit platter.
Whatever. I might as well enjoy looking at Lu Xing while I can. I'll just treat it as an employee benefit from CEO Wen!
Half an hour later, Secretary Zhao received a message from Wen Lingxiu.
【CEO Wen】: The party is almost over.
【Secretary Zhao】: Received!
Secretary Zhao thought for a moment before gently knocking on the bedroom door. She went in, intending to let Lu Xing know.
But as soon as she opened the door, she saw Lu Xing propping his head up and... poking Nannan's face.
Nannan was fast asleep, her fair, tender face looking incredibly soft. Lu Xing would poke, and it would bounce back. Poke, and it would bounce back.
Hehe! So much fun!
"Mr. Lu, why are you..."
"Want to try?"
"Ah, can I?"
Secretary Zhao was truly tempted, but then Wen Lingxiu’s face flashed through her mind.
'Uh. No, no, no!'
This might be the future boss! How could she poke the future boss's daughter's face!
To prevent herself from losing control of her hands, Secretary Zhao immediately spoke up.
"Mr. Lu, CEO Wen sent me a message. Her party is ending, and I am going to pick her up."
Lu Xing leaned against the headboard, squinting his eyes as he scrutinized Secretary Zhao.
"Why did you come to the villa first?"
"Who sent you?"
"What is your purpose?"
Logically, when Auntie Wen goes to a party, she brings Secretary Zhao and her assistants along. Secretary Zhao should have been with her the whole time. Why would she suddenly return alone?
Under Lu Xing's intense gaze, Secretary Zhao quickly stood up straight, sweating profusely.
"CEO Wen asked me to come back and fetch a document for her. I have the message history right here!"
Lu Xing glanced at the chat logs between Secretary Zhao and Auntie Wen. After a moment of thought, he stood up.
"Let's go. We'll go together."
Secretary Zhao was confused. "CEO Wen didn't say you should come."
Lu Xing casually threw on his coat and let out a light laugh. "Is that so? Why don't you take a closer look?"
He had said it before. To get an adult to state their true needs is more painful than killing them.
A person like Auntie Wen... how could she still be looking for some stupid document in the middle of a party? And she had told Secretary Zhao to wait at the villa, saying she would only let her leave after she sent another message.
Isn't this just a trap, waiting for Lu Xing to offer to come on his own initiative?
'Heh, women.'
Lu Xing got dressed and wrapped a coat around the sleeping Nannan, lifting the baby into his arms.
"Let's go."
The entire time, Secretary Zhao couldn't get a single word in.
"Mr. Lu, the surrounding houses are full of bodyguards and nannies. Nannan could actually..."
"No."
Lu Xing cut her off with a grin.
Are you kidding? How could he leave Nannan in the villa during his service hours just to pick up Auntie Wen?
What if something happened to the baby? This was a classic case of focusing on the task but ignoring the responsibility.
...
The Rolls-Royce drove steadily down the road. The spacious back seat ensured that Lu Xing didn't feel uncomfortable while holding the sleeping Nannan.
Secretary Zhao looked at Lu Xing, who was staring out the window with a profound expression, and couldn't help but ask.
"Mr. Lu, what are you looking at?"
"Don't be noisy. I am thinking."
Lu Xing replied with a solemn face.
Secretary Zhao was surprised. "Thinking about what?"
"I am thinking about whether I should marry a bed in the future, or marry money."
Lu Xing was very conflicted.
Secretary Zhao was struck dumb. After a moment, she said faintly.
"Why can't you just marry a bed covered with money?"
"You are a genius!"
Lu Xing's eyes lit up.
Secretary Zhao: ...
Psycho! Such a handsome guy, what a pity he has a mouth.
A few minutes before the party ended, the car stopped at the exit.
"Hold Nannan. Do not open the window; it is windy at night."
Lu Xing carefully handed Nannan over to Secretary Zhao. Then, he opened the door and stepped out.
Secretary Zhao watched through the window. The night enveloped the city as Lu Xing stood at the exit, a woman's coat draped over his arm, waiting patiently.
After a moment, Lu Xing saw Auntie Wen's figure emerging.
He was just about to step forward, but when he saw the people following beside her, his brain immediately told him to turn around and run.
Why is it Wei Qingyu! Why is it Old Man Xia!
Lu Xing turned his head and took two steps before suddenly stopping.
Wait, that's not right.
Wei Qingyu and Xia Yeshuang are no longer his "service targets."
Okay. Sorted out.
His current service targets are only three people: Auntie Wen, Professor Song, and Liu Qingqing.
Having distinguished the primary from the secondary, Lu Xing immediately turned back to meet them.
Old Man Xia was the first to spot him. He recognized the handsome young man from the car that day and said with a smile.
"CEO Wen, your child has come to pick you up."
Wei Qingyu looked up casually and bumped right into Lu Xing's star-like eyes.
