Seeing that Lu Yang was about to take him away from the hospital, the little boy couldn’t help but grip Lu Yang’s sleeve tightly. “Uncle Lu Yang, where are you taking me? My Mommy said children can’t just run off and shouldn’t trust strangers.”

“Am I considered a stranger?”

Lu Yang couldn’t help but ask.

The little boy thought for a moment, then shook his head. “No, Uncle is a friend of Sister Pear. And besides, Uncle seems like a nice person.”

“Ha.”

Lu Yang couldn’t help but chuckle. “Don’t worry, even if I had ten thousand guts, I wouldn’t dare to kidnap you. Do you know why?”

“Why?”

The little boy asked curiously.

Lu Yang subconsciously looked in the direction of the hospital’s main building and deliberately said, “Because your Sister Pear is boss of mine.”

“Wow? So is Uncle Mo the boyfriend of Sister Pear?”

The little boy quickly came to this conclusion.

Lu Yang happily gave him a thumbs up. “Correct, you’re really smart.”

“Hehe.”

The little boy beamed with pride at the compliment.

Lu Yang gently coaxed him at that point. “So, since they’re a couple, shouldn’t we find ourselves another place to play and not be third wheels here?”

The little boy tilted his head to think seriously, then nodded. “Then Uncle Lu, let’s hurry up and go find something good to eat.”

“No problem.”

Lu Yang readily agreed, and settled him into a children’s seat in the car before driving off.

Lu Cong’s home.

It was the same beachfront villa that Murong Qian had been to before.

Lu Cong had been living here recently. After all, he had a great many romantic memories with Murong Qian here.

Just as Murong Qian was taking a break from filming, Lu Cong called her on a video call.

Murong Qian’s beautiful face appeared on the screen. She looked stunning with makeup befitting a martial arts heroine, her charm compelling.

Such a breathtaking woman.

Lu Cong was spellbound.

When she saw his stunned expression and lack of words, she blinked and waved her hand in front of the camera. “Hello, did you get disconnected? Can you see me?”

“I can.”

Upon this, Lu Cong’s lips curved into a charming smirk.

At that moment, he was completely relaxed, even taking off his glasses to reveal his deep, captivating eyes.

Their ends lifted slightly, brimming with allure, as if he was a clever and captivating fox.

Such a charmer!

Realizing she was being lured by his charming visage, Murong Qian bit her lip and retorted coldly, “Didn’t we just talk recently? What do you want now? I am very busy.”

“Is that so? How fortunate of me to have the busy Miss Murong spare some time to receive my call.”

Lu Cong teased.

“At least you’re aware of that.”

Murong Qian smirked, glancing at her watch. “I have ten more minutes before I have to shoot my next scene.”

“When will the shoot be over?”

Lu Cong, concerned, asked.

Murong Qian answered truthfully, “In about three months or so. Seeing that your family is a major investor in this film, how come you don’t know the schedule? Aren’t you the least bit concerned?”

“Really?”

Lu Cong chuckled slightly. “So, should I, as the investor, familiarize myself with the situation by visiting the set in order to show my concern?”

Murong Qian was speechless.

When did she ever say that?

“MUMU, the director’s looking for you.”

A staff member came over to urge her.

Murong Qian smiled and replied, “Alright, I’ll be right there,” then turned back to Lu Cong. “The director’s calling me. I have to go.”

“Wait, I still have something to say—”

Lu Cong wanted to inform her about Mo Shiting and Gu Li’s developments but Murong Qian had no time to listen. “Alright, let’s talk another time. Bye!”

Without giving him another chance, she quickly ended the call.

Staring at the end call notification in WeChat, Lu Cong pressed his lips together and began to smile.

That’s a good reason to contact her again in the future.

Thinking about that, Lu Cong started humming a tune cheerfully.

Just when he was about to go to the kitchen and whip up some supper, the doorbell rang.

Who could be visiting at this hour?

Was it Mo Shiting?

Did he fail to make progress with Gu Li?

Lu Cong walked to the entrance with dubious thoughts.

Upon checking the intercom, he found Lu Yang standing at the villa’s front door, but he didn’t see Mo Shiting anywhere.

Lu Yang visiting his place?

That’s even weirder.

After all, Lu Yang always came with Mo Shiting before.

Lu Cong pressed the call button. “Hello.”

“Third young master, the young master has instructed me to drop the young madam’s brother here for a short stay..”
