nLu Ting looked at Lin Yueqi who was still buried in her food and carried Tuantuan opposite to her and sat down, saying, “I bumped into Qin Xue earlier.”

n“Oh? Is she pretty? Are you moved? Have you submitted to her flourishing beauty?”

nLin Yueqi raised her eyes and asked him with a mouth full of mousse and cheese.

nLu Ting laughed. “Lin Yueqi, are you jealous?”

n“Jea…” Like hell! Lin Yueqi’s mouth twitched. “Will it kill you to not misunderstand me for once?”

nLu Ting recounted what happened earlier and said, “I know, you women are competitive, but I don’t want to be used as a bargaining chip for power between the two of you. You don’t need to make that bet with Qin Xue either. I told you that I’ll do my best to pursue you, so naturally, you are the first in my heart.”

n“…How did you know we made a bet?”

n“I guessed.”

nLin Yueqi raised him a thumbs up. “Hats off to you, buddy! Your brain’s ability to make stuff up is bar none. I just mentioned Qin Xue in front of you once, how did you end up adding more than forty episodes of content into that?”

n“You’re going to be joining another crew in a few days, right? Why don’t you let Tuantuan stay with me for a bit?”

nLin Yueqi lifted her chin to point at Tuantuan, saying, “Ask her. I don’t make the decisions.”

nLu Ting looked down at the little dumpling in his arms and said, “Tuantuan, do you want to stay with Papa?”

nTuantuan tugged at his ear and whispered, “Papa, can I invite Mama to stay with us together?”

nLin Yueqi immediately interjected. “I’m not going. I don’t care if your house is made of gold or silver, my own nest suits me best.”

nWith barely any hesitation, Lu Ting said, “Then I’ll move to your place.”

nLin Yueqi snorted, “And you think that’s gonna help you? Sorry but I’ve got a heart of stone. I am completely immune to you.”

n“I’ll pay rent.”

nLin Yueqi rolled her eyes. “Three hundred thousand a month. You dare pay up?”

n“Eight hundred thousand.” Lu Ting looked straight at her for a moment and said, “Eight hundred thousand, no bargains.”

nLin Yueqi eventually fell to her knees under the temptation of money and said, “Alright Mr. Rich, please be more generous with your rent in the future too.”

nLin Yueqi felt like she was going to strike it big. She didn’t even need to marry Lu Ting anymore and take half his money. Soon, she’ll be able to soar up into the skies with just rent alone and become the richest woman in the country.

n…

nAfter dinner was over, Lu Ting’s identity was naturally revealed. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for all media reporters and the audiences lying in wait.

nAt around one in the morning, Lu Ting sent the mom and daughter pair home.

nTuantuan was asleep on her father’s thighs and soon, Lin Yueqi fell asleep too. The car suddenly jerked, causing her head to fall to Lu Ting’s thigh as well.

nTuantuan was grabbing onto Lu Ting’s thigh while Lin Yueqi had subconsciously grabbed hold of Tuantuan’s meaty hand.

nLu Ting looked down at the mother and daughter pair while an unprecedented sense of warmth poured out from his heart. This moment of peace was so wonderful that he didn’t bear to destroy it. He could see that Lin Yueqi cared very much for Tuantuan. She would subconsciously take her hand even while she was asleep.

nLin Yueqi seemed to be having a nightmare as her brows were wrinkled. Tears fell from the corner of her eye. He heard her mumbling in her sleep in a soft yet hoarse voice, “Tuantuan…”

n

n

nShe was silent for a moment before murmuring, “Mama loves you…”

nLu Ting’s chest felt strangely sour, and he felt even guiltier than before.

nIf he had known about Tuantuan’s existence earlier, then wouldn’t this woman have been able to live an easier life?
