Chapter 3 - 1.3 Illegitimate Child?!
Ren Zexi rubbed his eyes and sat up sluggishly, yawning. For a while, he thought that it was his father who had woken him up. However, when he caught sight of Lu Yizhou's face, he instantly sobered up. The memories poured into his head like tides, making his cheeks redden furiously.
Stupid Ren Zexi! How can you fall asleep just like that in front of a stranger?!
"S—Sorry, Uncle Lu..." He murmured tremblingly, his eyes lowered, unable to muster the courage to look into Lu Yizhou's eyes in case he would find contempt and loathe there just like Uncle Ren.
"Boss?" Ah Shen inquired. "Is there something wrong?"
Lu Yizhou heaved another sigh and got out of the car.
Ren Zexi's head snapped up and he stared at his back, panicked and bewildered. Was this it? Would Lu Yizhou abandon him? Did he not want him anymore?
Contrary to his negative thoughts, Lu Yizhou turned around and offered his hand. "Until when do you plan on sitting there? We have arrived."
Slow as he was, this was the first time Ren Zexi realized that the car had stopped in front of a huge...castle. Yes, castle. Otherwise, how could he describe such a huge, luxurious house? His mouth gaped open and when he came to his senses, his hand had grown a will on its own and placed itself on Lu Yizhou's warm palm.
Once again, he was brought into the man's embrace.
Ren Zexi's lips pressed tight in embarrassment. He was already five, no need to hold him like a toddler... However, for some reasons, he chose to keep mum and silently slung his arm over Lu Yizhou's neck, taking in the surroundings that seemed to come straight out of a fairytale.
"Welcome back, Master." A row of servants bowed simultaneously, their eyes trained to the ground.
