“Mmm…”

A delicate, soft voice sounded in the bedroom, then fell silent again.

Saturday morning

Lu Xing expressed that he had encountered a problem.

The Auntie Wen in his arms seemed to be dreaming. Her cheeks were flushed, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

After Lu Xing tried to move a little, Auntie Wen hummed with dissatisfaction and shifted to a more comfortable position in his arms to continue sleeping.

Oh, heavens!

Lu Xing was speechless.

‘Auntie Wen, do you really not feel something poking you?’

He looked over Auntie Wen’s head at Nannan.

The child didn’t have to go to school today and was sleeping soundly, her two short hands raised by her little head, exceptionally cute.

But…

However good the gentle embrace was, he still had to go to work.

‘A sigma man never falls into any trap!’

Lu Xing, like a spy in a family, slowly moved to the edge of the bed.

Now!

He quickly rolled off the bed and swiftly stuffed a pillow into Auntie Wen’s arms.

“Mmm…”

Auntie Wen let out a light hum and leaned against the pillow dependently.

Phew—

Lu Xing let out a sigh of relief.

Hehe

As expected of me.

This hand speed is so awesome!

His daily morning routine of praising himself. Lu Xing, refreshed, quietly walked out of the bedroom.

Click

The bedroom door was gently closed.

Wen Lingxiu opened her eyes, turned over, and lowered Nannan’s hands, which were raised high in her sleep. She murmured.

“You still have to leave?”

After that great fire, how could she be a person who sleeps very soundly?

Whether it was Lu Xing’s three seconds of ‘indulgence’, or him going to find Chi Yueshan…

The moment Lu Xing got up…

Actually…

She was already awake, always awake.

Wen Lingxiu lay back down and closed her eyes.

“But, at least I know what you want, don’t I?”

When competing with peers in business…

The most crucial key to victory is information.

The single tear that slid from the corner of Lu Xing’s eye when he said “I feel for you” was like a scar on her heart.

She can’t forget, and she doesn’t want to forget.

She has already burned her whole life for others.

This time, can she be a little selfish and let Lu Xing remember her forever?

After a moment.

Thinking of the feeling just now, a blush flew across Wen Lingxiu’s cheeks. She said in a low voice.

“Little brat, so fierce…”

…

“Frog fun! So earthy, so earthy!” 

(TL: A pun. 蛙趣 (wā qù – frog fun) sounds like 我去 (wǒ qù – holy f*ck). “Earthy” refers to the soil.)

Lu Xing dug some soil from the garden at the entrance of Auntie Wen’s villa and put it in a plastic bag.

There was no helping it.

He had already made the promise to Song Junzhu. He couldn’t not do it.

Professor Song had paid the soil transportation fee.

Hehe.

‘Rich lady.’

“Tsk, the quality of this soil is too high. It’s at least three or four stories high.”

Lu Xing was very satisfied as he put the soil into his schoolbag and took a taxi to Song Junzhu’s villa.

Wait.

Not right.

After getting in the car, Lu Xing suddenly remembered that Song Junzhu had sent him a new address yesterday.

Huh?

‘This person moved?’

“Master, master, can I change the route? I’m going to Wangxing Mansion.”

The driver was shocked. “Wangxing Mansion?”

He saw that the villa this young man was originally going to was already ridiculously expensive. And now he’s going to Wangxing Mansion?

The driver’s expression made Lu Xing dumbfounded as well.

“What’s wrong, master? Can’t we go to Wangxing Mansion?”

The driver immediately said, “We can, we can. I was just a little surprised to have a passenger going there for the first time.”

In the process of chatting with the driver, Lu Xing finally learned that this Wangxing Mansion was a small Western-style house complex located in the center of Haicheng. 

There were a total of 13 buildings, all historically preserved and protected, only for rent, not for sale, living peacefully in a sea of high-rise buildings.

This is probably what they call “a great hermit hides in the city”?

Lu Xing once again refreshed his perception of Song Junzhu.

Professor Song was… richer than he had imagined.

After getting out of the car and arriving at Wangxing Road, Lu Xing saw many tourists taking pictures at the entrance of the mansion.

Under the gazes of the tourists, Lu Xing braced himself and sent a message to Song Junzhu.

【Lu Xing】: Professor Song, I’ve arrived.

The next second.

The ornate high gate opened from the inside. Two butlers in suits and leather shoes stood on both sides and said with a smile.

“Mr. Lu, please come in.”

Lu Xing: …

Damn it.

‘You rich people, don’t be so cringe!’

Seeing the surrounding tourists react and some were already thinking of raising their phones, Lu Xing quickly ran in.

The high gate closed again.

After entering the gate, Lu Xing curiously asked the two smiling butlers beside him.

“Do you do this for everyone who comes in?”

The smile on the butler on the left stiffened for a moment and said.

“Usually, people drive in.”

Seriously.

This was also the first time he had seen someone walk in through the main gate.

Lu Xing choked.

Thanks.

‘I’ve been flexed on.’

A few minutes later, Lu Xing arrived in front of a small Western-style building with the best geographical location.

“Mr. Lu, this is it.”

Lu Xing nodded.

The small Western-style house in front of him was not as cold as Song Junzhu’s previous villa. This house looked very cozy.

But he couldn’t afford either of them.

Lu Xing took a deep breath, wanting to knock on the main door with a smile.

“Hey, hey, hey!”

The door was opened without any warning. Lu Xing fell in abruptly.

…
