The prince of a wealthy family pestered me to appear on a variety show for children, and I attracted

Huo Nianbei lost interest in playing chess and chuckled, "Did he ask you to say these words?"

Huo Ze neither denied nor confirmed it.

It was Huo Lian who asked him to say these words to prompt Huo Nianbei, but these were also his thoughts.

Assuming that Gong Xizhen hired someone to kidnap Lan Zi, that would be wrong. A man should protect his woman. But as for the last time, it was just a minor fight and had nothing to do with her. Why would Nian Bei take action?

"Have you ever thought that you are harming her by always standing up for her? Are you so confident that you can protect her forever? You have spoiled her and made countless enemies. What will happen if she really loses your protection in the future?"

Huo Nianbei was not one to explain things. But since this was about Lan Zi, and the other party was his beloved grandfather, he couldn't help but say a few more words:

"I won't tell you how many times in advance. I'll only talk about the last time. They suddenly wanted to recognize Gong Xiaoyou because they knew that she and Lan Zi were already friends, and I was dating Lan Zi, so it was obvious that they also took Lan Zi into account."

"I'm unhappy, so I should punish them, shouldn't I?"

Huo Ze: “…” He was speechless.

"Then this has nothing to do with Lan Zi. It's their family affair..."

Huo Nianbei: "Isn't friendship a relationship? Just now you said that Mr. Gong wanted to ask you to do something."

Huo Ze: "That's right..."

After listening to Huo Nianbei's talk, I was enlightened.

Huo Ze was also confused by his own son. Both of them accused Lan Zi of meddling in other people's affairs. Huo Nianbei was already giving face by explaining calmly.

Huo Nianbei: "If you really have any good intentions, you should tell the girl in advance. You didn't mention anything and put Gong Xiaoyou there for everyone to examine and criticize. I don't think Lan Zi is meddling in other people's business. On the contrary, I admire her character of sticking up for her friends."

"As for whether I can protect her for a lifetime, Grandpa, I have never thought of separating from her while I am with her."

"Besides, Lan Zi solved the problem on her own that day. She is very capable and basically didn't need me. You think she is weak."

Huo Ze took a sip of tea and smiled faintly: "Okay, I know it's hard to convince you, so I'll ask you, what if Xiaoyu's biological mother is found? What will you do?"

Huo Nianbei obviously didn't take this issue seriously.

"It can only be blue and purple. Blue and purple are my only criteria."

So what if I found it.

This does not conflict with the fact that Lan Zi will be his wife.

He has made up his mind that it will be for life.

Huo Ze was silent for a long time, "That's all."

Then he took out a small box and opened it. It contained the agate ring he had given to Yuan Lin when he was young.

Huo Ze said, "Your grandmother gave it to Lan Zi. Although there are more expensive ones, this is what your grandmother has always worn."

Huo Nianbei smiled knowingly, "Thank grandma on behalf of Lan Zi."

The intention of giving the things used when one was young to a younger generation is self-evident. Unexpectedly, grandma accepted Lan Zi earlier than grandpa.

Huo Nianbei was in a good mood and had already decided to stay, and now it was even smoother until the evening.

Seeing Huo Xiaoyu all dirty and opening his arms for him to hug him, he took two steps back in disgust.

Xu Zhiqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I remember Xiaoyu used to be as mysophobic as you. Can her personality change when she grows up? Fortunately, Xiaoyu likes cleanliness, but not as much as you do."

The word "then" was drawn out with a long tone, which sounded like a teasing to Huo Nianbei. He raised his eyebrows but did not comment.

Xu Zhiqing had someone bring an oversized towel, wrapped Huo Yu completely, and then looked at Huo Nianbei.

He sighed silently. After all, he was his biological son. Finally, he could not resist Xu Zhiqing's gaze, picked him up, and carried him upstairs to take a bath.

Huo Yu was leisurely lying in the bathtub, directing his father to squeeze bubbles for him. His own hands were free, so he could video call Lan Zi.

It’s just that Lan Zi was busy and didn’t answer.

He raised his eyebrows, "Didn't get through?"

The tone was somewhat gloating, and Huo Yu's face instantly fell. He immediately "turned his face against him" and drove his father out, pointing at the door with his little hand, angrily.

Huo Nianbei was so angry that he laughed. He pinched his cheek and said, "So I am your servant?"

Huo Yu typed: [Just now I wanted to let Lan Zi see how good you are to me. ]

As a result, he used that tone: Didn’t get through?

"Oh, I should thank you. If she didn't see me, I don't have to pretend?"

【You are being sarcastic. 】

Huo Nianbei curled the corners of his lips and tapped his forehead, "You little brat." He left the bathroom and returned to his room. After washing up, he sent a message to Lan Zi, then closed his eyes and lay on the bed.

Tossing and turning was very awkward.

He smelled a familiar scent, which he couldn't say he liked but didn't hate either.

Not hating, but resisting.

Huo Nianbei stood up as if he had been resurrected from the dead and sniffed himself with disgust. He made sure that his clothes were clean.

Could it be that someone had slept in his bed?

The more he heard it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He went downstairs with a sullen look on his face, and stood at the door and yelled, "Someone come here."

In an instant, a small group of people with panicked expressions lined up in an orderly manner in front of the villa.

He fastened the belt of his pajamas and took a deep breath, "Who went to my room today?"

No one answered.

They all lowered their heads and looked terrified.

There is no big deal to say no, but if you don’t say anything, there must be something fishy.

Huo Nianbei did not make things difficult for them and called Huo Ze immediately.

Because he suddenly thought of someone: Qin Yili.

He recalled several close encounters with her, and this was the smell she exuded.

Considering that Huo Ze asked her to be his personal designer, he couldn't help but think too much.

If this is really my father's handwriting...

He would never set foot into Nian Garden again.

The call was called twice, but no one answered. Just before the anger took over his reason, Huo Yu suddenly spoke in a childish voice -

"dad."

Huo Nianbei turned his head slowly as if struck by lightning. Huo Xiaoyu was standing behind him in her pajamas.

His son called him dad?

While he was still in a daze, Huo Yu threw himself into his arms, and what triggered his senses was the familiar scent of Xiaoyu, which was the familiar smell he had just smelled.

Huo Nianbei carried him into the house, "What's going on?"

Huo Yu took out his phone and typed again. Huo Nianbei didn't force it. He looked at the words "I rolled around on your bed after taking a shower" and fell into deep thought.

He looked at his son suspiciously.

When has this kid ever rolled around in his bed? He behaved in such a coquettish and childish way.

【real. 】

A minute later, Huo Yu showed him the bottle of perfume which contained only a few ml.

[Smell it, this is the smell of the basket I carefully selected for a long time, don’t you like it? ]

indeed.

It's this fragrance.

Very similar to blue-violet.

But the taste was too strong and he didn't like it.

"Where did it come from?"

Huo Yu smacked his lips twice, his throat rolling guiltily.

His father had a serious expression on his face and had no intention of talking to his son properly.

He said that this is a taste that he carefully selected for a long time, where else can it come from? He bought it...

It seems that he doesn't believe it.

Huo Yu was just thinking about what lie he could tell to fool Huo Nianbei. Before he could come up with an idea, Huo Nianbei's voice became a little higher:

"Huo Yu, who taught you to lie!"

Huo Xiaoyu raised his head in surprise. Why did they convict him without waiting for him to explain? Were they so sure that he was lying?

Dad is as sharp as ever.

"I ask again, where did it come from!"

Huo Yu had grown taller recently, but standing in front of Huo Nianbei, he was obviously not good enough. The two of them were like this, one tall and one short, one silent and the other serious.

The cell phone rang inappropriately. It was a call from the main building. They must have known that he was lecturing them.

Huo Nianbei turned off the phone directly.

The servant was still standing outside the villa. There were lightning and thunder in the sky, and it was about to rain.

There have been rumors in the outside world that Huo Nianbei is a living devil. Stories have been made up over and over again, and everyone seems to be committed to portraying him as an inhuman character.

If news of tonight's incident were to get out, Huo Nianbei would appear even more cold and indifferent.

Huo Yu was worried that his father's reputation would get worse, so he put away his phone, looked up at Huo Nianbei, and said, "Don't be angry."

"No, just tell the truth."

His son was being pampered, so he still had to comfort him.

But, even a ghost could see that he was angry.
