Upon hearing Lu Bozhou's words, Lu Hong's face immediately turned ashen. "What did you say?!"

Lu Bozhou smirked. "At least Lu Bolin is rotten to the core, openly trying to find every opportunity to scheme against me. Unlike you guys, who are clearly also trying to find every possible opportunity to scheme against me."

"Yet you still put on a high-sounding hat, claiming it's for my own good?"

Lu Bozhou's gaze slowly shifted from Lu Hong to Yan Ke. "What exactly did you do for my own good? Do you really think I knew nothing about what happened back then?"

Yan Ke shuddered at his cold gaze and voice.

She avoided looking at Lu Bozhou.

Yan Ke didn't know what Lu Bozhou was referring to. But she did have something she felt guilty about.

She had summoned Jiang Mian, who was pregnant at the time, to establish rules, and not long after returning home, Jiang Mian ended up in the hospital…

Then, he never made it out of the hospital.

After that, Yan Ke never mentioned it again.

She felt that her son probably didn't know.

But hearing his son's words and seeing that look in his eyes...

Yan Ke also felt that Lu Bozhou might not be unaware of this matter.

Lu Hong was all bark and no bite. Since reasoning with him wouldn't work, he resorted to utterly unreasonable demands: "I don't care! In short! I'm your father, and if I say no, then no!"

"If you don't resolve these two issues, you can forget about taking Xiao Chi away!" Lu Hong's voice sounded very forceful and stern.

Lu Bozhou remained silent, his gaze fixed coldly on them.

After a moment, he chuckled, "As if I'd really want to take him. You can keep him for the New Year then. I'm leaving."

After Lu Bozhou finished speaking, he turned and left.

“Lu Bozhou! You!” Yan Ke’s voice was shrill.

She never expected that Lu Bozhou really didn't care at all!

"Are you crazy?!" Yan Ke shouted.

Lu Bozhou looked at her, a smirk playing on his lips, his expression tinged with madness. "You're finding out for the first time?"

Just then, a small figure broke free from Aunt Lu's embrace and ran towards Lu Bozhou.

He shouted loudly, "Daddy! Daddy! I don't want to stay here, I want to go home! Home!"

Lu Bozhou looked at him. "Oh, they won't let me take you with me."

Lu Hong and Yan Ke's eyes widened: "You!"

Over the years, they have always felt sorry for Lu Chaochi.

But he also had concerns, always worried that if Lu Chaochi knew the whole truth about his mother's death, he would resent and hate them.

They were also worried that Lu Bozhou would instill those ideas in the child.

But there never was.

As a result, they actually relaxed.

Little did they know that Lu Bozhou was planning to... directly indoctrinate them!

Lu Chaochi looked at Lu Hong and Yan Ke in disbelief.

His dark, round eyes were filled with incomprehension.

"But why?" Lu Chaochi couldn't understand it at all.

Lu Bozhou looked coldly at Lu Hong and Yan Ke.

Their eyes both held a look of disapproval.

But Lu Bozhou had no intention of going along with their wishes.

“They wanted that Aunt Qiu to be your new mother. I didn’t agree,” Lu Bozhou said calmly.

Hearing this, Lu Hong and Yan Ke were still furious. He's gone mad! He tells the child everything!

But thankfully, at least this madman wasn't talking about the time Jiang Mian suddenly went into premature labor.

Before Lu Hong and Yan Ke could even calm down, Lu Bozhou spoke again with a nonchalant air.

"I plan to marry Jiang Mian."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chaochi suddenly raised his head, his eyes wide open.

In her big, round eyes, there was more of a hint of surprise than shock.

"What!?"

"dream!"

Lu Bozhou glanced at Lu Hong and Yan Ke, "I have to thank you both for my marriage to Jiang Mian."

His words seemed to have a double meaning.

Yan Ke and Lu Hong's expressions immediately turned ugly upon hearing this.

Could it be that he and that nanny actually... that day?!

Lu Hong and Yan Ke didn't know if he was referring to the previous time, this time, or both.

Lu Chaochi was stunned and speechless for a long time.

Lu Bozhou looked at Lu Chaochi indifferently, "You can stay here for now. I'll finish taking care of the rest of the business first."

I thought Lu Chaochi wouldn't agree.

Unexpectedly, the child who had rushed out in a hurry was now very docile and obedient, and did not show any intense emotions.

It's as if they're happy to see Lu Bozhou's decision come to fruition.

Seeing Lu Bozhou turn and leave, Yan Ke panicked and quickly chased after him.

"Bo Zhou!" Yan Ke quickly caught up, but seeing that Lu Bo Zhou hadn't slowed down at all, Yan Ke ran up and grabbed his arm. "Lu Bo Zhou! You stop right there!"

Lu Bozhou lowered his eyes, looking at her with indifferent gaze.

"Are you really crazy? You're not actually planning to marry that nanny, are you?"

"Why not."

"Stop throwing a tantrum! Is this how you get revenge on me and your dad?!"

Lu Bozhou sneered, "Revenge? If I were to retaliate against you, would I only use this method? Are you just too forgetful, or do you prefer to play dumb?"

Upon hearing Lu Bozhou's words, Yan Ke seemed to recall the darkest and most terrifying period of five years ago.

She doesn't even dare to think about it anymore.

Yan Ke was speechless for a moment, her voice losing its previous arrogance.

"But we can't just act recklessly and hastily like this. Do you really like that nanny?"

Lu Bozhou scoffed, "It's as if you always agree to let me do things my way."

“My preferences have never mattered,” Lu Bozhou said calmly. “Lu Chaochi likes her quite a bit.”

Lu Bozhou didn't waste any more words with her and turned to leave.

Yan Ke quickly followed a few steps, "So you've found another substitute? Lu Bozhou, do you know how much profit your marriage is entailing?!"

Yan Ke was met with the sound of the car door slamming shut and the roar of the engine.

……

Jiang Mian never dreamed that Lu Bozhou would leave his son with Lu Hong and Yan Ke.

The next day, when Jiang Mian met Lu Bozhou again, she thought she had calmed down and composed herself.

Then I heard Lu Bozhou say...

"So you mean," Jiang Mian bit her lip, somewhat anxiously, "that they threatened you with pebbles because they disagreed?"

Jiang Mian frowned slightly, "Then perhaps we should take a longer-term approach..."

Before he could finish speaking, the man in front of him raised his wrist and glanced at his watch.

Then he asked her calmly, "Did you bring your ID card?"

"I brought it." Jiang Mian's mind was preoccupied with her son's affairs, so she answered casually.

"Perfect." The man turned the steering wheel and drove in a certain direction.

Jiang Mian hadn't paid much attention at first, but when she realized what was happening, she was a little stunned. "Where...are we going?"

"Civil Affairs Bureau." Lu Bozhou slammed on the gas, and the car sped off down the road. "Qiqi is here to ask for your favorites and votes! Yesterday, while carrying my 30-pound daughter, I missed a step on the stairs and almost thought I had broken a bone. Luckily, it wasn't broken, just a bit swollen, but it didn't really affect my walking. I guess I'm a lucky charm; it's basically healed today. My ankle is really something else!"
