At the beginning, the bamboo shoots were taken away by the mythical beast, and the goddess came to t

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the three people after breakfast went down to the hotel lobby.

A silver Rolls-Royce Phantom was already parked at the door.

Lu Chen: "..."

Fine.

Although this situation is unexpected, it is also extremely reasonable.

Half an hour later, the silver Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped at the door of a high-end single-family villa.

When the security guard saw the license plate number, he quickly opened the crossbar.

After the car came to a complete stop, Lu Chen also saw the whole view of the villa.

The hollow-carved and extremely majestic door and the round arched window are unique in shape and quite ingenious.

In the garden at the door, there are a lot of flowers, and the big red roses are eye-catching.

In the unique rockery lotus pond, there are lotus leaves, and occasionally red, white and orange koi fish swim out.

Here, Chinese and Western cultures and styles achieve a perfect fusion.

Classical and enlightened.

The villa's steeple-shaped sloping roof, plastered wooden frame and climbing vines on the column decorations complement each other, making it classic yet stylish.

"Miss, welcome home."

"Master is waiting for you in the study."

The old man in a well-dressed tuxedo bowed to Shen Luyao as he stepped out of the car.

"I know, Uncle Shen."

Shen Luyao turned around to look at Lu Chen, who was holding Tangbao'er.

"Let's go."

Whether that man heard him say that the Rose Tower Hotel was his property yesterday, or whether he saw this villa today.

Although there was shock in his eyes, his attitude towards him and his tone of voice never changed.

It's like these are nothing special to him.

There was no flattery or flattery. From the first time they met until now, the eyes he looked at him had always been gentle and polite.

He has always been calm and composed.

It makes people feel that no matter what problems or difficulties they encounter, he can solve them easily.

And as long as I stand beside him, even the chaotic thoughts seem to calm down.

Unconsciously, Shen Luyao leaned slightly towards Lu Chen's side.

It narrowed the distance between the two of them a little.

It's too cold in this house.

It was so cold that she wanted to draw some warmth from this man's body to resist the coming cold.

"it is good."

Lu Chen nodded, patted Tangbao'er, who had been particularly quiet since getting off the car, and walked side by side with Shen Luyao.

Entering the villa, Lu Chen's eyes first caught the eye of the extremely luxurious hall.

The floor paved with black marble is illuminated, and the complicated crystal chandelier overhead emits a cold light.

The tall walls cast dark shadows on the soft carpet.

No amount of murals and decorations can cover up the depression and coldness in the house.

This is a place without warmth and emotion.

The little sugar baby in his arms hugged his neck tightly since entering the villa.

Very quiet.

The little guy is not as lively as usual.

The whole little body curled up in his arms.

Lu Chen guessed that children have the most obvious feelings about the environment and atmosphere.

The reason why the little sugar baby became so abnormal was probably also affected by the environment in the villa.

I felt that little body shrinking and trembling in my arms.

His eyes flashed coldly.

Lu Chen patted him gently with his hands to comfort him while suspecting that it might not just be caused by the influence of the environment.

The little guy may have had some bad experiences in this extremely luxurious but cold villa.

As soon as the three of them reached the second floor through the spiral staircase, they heard the voices of a man and a woman in front of them.

"You haven't been back for so many years, what do you want to do now that you're back?"

"I told you, come back and see Yaoyao."

"Don't talk about this kind of situation. I really want you to come back and watch it early."

"Tell me, what's wrong with your body?"

The middle-aged female voice spoke slowly after being silent for a few minutes.

"Shen Tianlan, I'm dying."

"Bone cancer is in the late stage and is discovered too late."

"The doctor has given up. He told me to enjoy life, go where I want to go, and meet the people I want to see."

"Don't leave yourself with regrets."

“I’ve already gone to all the places I want to go in the world.”

"And the person I want to see is far away."

"It was my fault for leaving her behind. It was indeed me who owed her."

"I want to spend more time with her in my last moments."

......

Listening to the two voices, Shen Luyao's footsteps became slower and slower, and finally stopped in front of a door that was ajar.

The sound came from this room.

Lu Chen guessed that the middle-aged woman who said she had a terminal illness should be Shen Luyao's biological mother.

When anyone suddenly hears the news that a loved one is about to die soon, no matter how complicated the relationship with the other person is, their emotions will definitely be affected.

Lu Chen raised his eyes and looked at Shen Luyao who was standing at the door.

The girl's tall figure stood up straight, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with her.

But when he moved his eyes downward and saw Shen Luyao's hands hanging by his side, he knew that all this was more than just appearances.

The girl's hands are sometimes open and sometimes clenched.

It seemed like he was trying his best to suppress something.

It's like he wants to vent something.

Lu Chen stepped forward and took the initiative to hold one of Shen Luyao's hands.

This was the first time the two of them had touched each other skin-to-skin while they were awake.

The warm warmth was transmitted to him through that big hand, and Shen Luyao's ups and downs slowly calmed down.

She turned her head and smiled at Lu Chen.

Shen Luyao didn't know that her smile looked a little bitter.

There were even glistening tears in his eyes.

And all these things that she didn't know were understood by Lu Chen.

He also smiled back and gently squeezed the small hands that were holding each other.

"It's okay, I'm here."

A deep male voice sounded in my ears.

Warm and intoxicating.

Shen Luyao concentrated, raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Father, I'm back."

"come in."

The middle-aged man sitting behind the golden nanmu desk has a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face.

When he spoke, he raised his head slightly and glanced at Shen Luyao and Lu Chen who were following him, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Lu Yao, why did you bring an outsider back?"

The well-dressed woman sitting on the sofa with exquisite makeup stood up and took a secret look at Shen Luyao before turning around to complain to the man.

"My daughter has just come back, why are you speaking in such a tone?"

"It's like raising an army to investigate."

Lu Chen had a strange feeling in his heart as he took in the woman's small movements and eyes.

This man and woman seemed to be Shen Luyao's biological parents.

But whether they are men or women, their attitudes towards Shen Luyao are not right.

The amount of information was not enough, but his sixth sense had vaguely detected something.

"He is Sugar Baby's father, Lu Chen."

Shen Luyao looked calm.

There is no warmth in the voice.

The tone of his speech was as if he were saying "It's a sunny day" without any ups and downs.

"You know, I will not agree with you marrying someone with no status and low status."

"As my daughter, Shen Tianlan, your marriage partner must be someone who is helpful to the development of our Shen family."

Shen Tianlan glanced at Lu Chen. Although this man in white casual clothes seemed to have an extraordinary temperament and should have some wealth, it was not enough.

At least he had never heard of the Lu family at various high-class drinking parties and news.

At most, it’s just a small household.

His daughter must marry into a well-matched family.

Shen Luyao's expression became increasingly cold.

"I didn't come back to quarrel with you."

The woman stepped forward and reached out to grab Shen Luyao's wrist.

"Yaoyao, you came back to see me, right?"

She had a gentle face and graceful manner, but the hand holding Shen Luyao was filled with eagerness.

Shen Luyao took a step back and avoided the hand.

"Don't call me so intimate."

"I'm not used to it."

(I saw the book circle’s question about matching pictures. Here’s a unified explanation. Pictures of cute pets and scenery will make reading more immersive. But when it comes to the interaction between the male and female protagonists and the cute baby plot, I really don’t know what qaq to match. )
