After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

Fu Yizhou was exceptionally talented and had a keen sense of politics, and within just a few years he secured the position of Crown Prince.

Looking at her cold and heartless son, Wu Xuan'er opened her mouth, wanting to say something to him, but she didn't know how to start!

"Does Mother Consort have something to say to me?" Fu Yizhou put down the dossier in his hand and looked up at her calmly.

Recalling how he had just returned, I was overwhelmed with excitement, but when I met his cold gaze, my heart sank.

As expected, given Fu Chenchu's character, he would never allow his son to do anything against him, so he simply took away his memories and implanted other memories in his place.

Wu Xuan'er sighed and stepped forward to hand him a cup of tea: "You don't need to work so hard, your health is the most important thing!"

Fu Yizhou's gaze was indifferent, his eyes filled with coldness.

"Why would Mother say that? Don't parents hope their children will achieve great things? If I become emperor, Mother will be the Empress Dowager!"

Wu Xuan'er shook her head: "I don't want to be the Empress Dowager!" Then she added: "Does Yi'er want to be the Emperor?"

Fu Yizhou didn't hide anything and replied directly: "No one doesn't want to be emperor, and sons are human too, of course they want to be!"

"..."

Miao Xingren had been working for Fu Chenchu. In recent years, Futu Manor had become a vibrant place, and with protection, the Wuling people there lived a very comfortable life.

"Miaomiao, if you don't come out soon, Mommy will get angry!"

On the hill behind the villa, a stunningly beautiful woman was shouting anxiously; if you listened closely, you could hear her voice trembling slightly.

The woman was extremely anxious because she couldn't find her daughter, as she heard that wild wolves often roamed there.

Just then, a fluffy little head was bobbing back and forth under the rock. Hearing her mother's voice, she quietly covered her mouth and giggled.

Upon closer inspection, the little girl is very beautiful, with an exceptionally delicate face, large and round dark eyes, and a pink and tender appearance that makes her so beautiful that it's hard to look away.

The only bad thing is that the girl has a blood-red birthmark that looks like a moon on the corner of her eye.

Before, no matter where she hid, her mother could easily find her. This time, she didn't believe that she could be found even if she hid so well.

Just as she was feeling smug, a shadow suddenly fell over her head.

She opened her round eyes and looked up, only to see her father frowning as he looked at her.

Miao Xingren glanced at the anxious woman in the distance and couldn't help but scold the little one in front of him.

"What did your father tell you before? Don't scare your mother. Don't you know how worried your mother will be if she can't find you?"

The girl was frightened by the scolding. She pouted, looking like she was about to burst into tears. She looked extremely wronged and pitiful.

But this trick no longer works on Miao Xingren; he still keeps a straight face.

The woman searching for her daughter in the distance heard someone speaking behind the stone and rushed over. There she saw her daughter, whom she had been searching for, looking up pitifully, as if she was about to cry.

"Miaomiao!"

Ye Fan frowned, angrily walked over and picked her up.

"Why didn't you answer when your mother called you just now!"

Miao Miao couldn't understand what her father and mother were saying, she only knew that they were scolding her, and she sadly lowered her little head.

"Miaomiao just wanted to play hide-and-seek with her mother..."

Miao Xingren originally wanted to teach her a lesson a few more times, but seeing her aggrieved and pitiful little face, his heart melted.

He raised his hand and gently patted her head.

“We’re not being mean to you, it’s just that it’s too dangerous here. What will your mother and father do if you accidentally fall and get hurt or something?”

Miao Miao looked up at her father's gentle gaze and felt even more wronged. Her already bright eyes filled with tears, and her nose was red. She looked as pitiful as could be. She raised her little hand to the man and said softly, "Daddy, hug me!"

One sentence instantly made Miao Xingren lose his temper, and he tenderly hugged her and comforted her.

Ye Fan looked at Miao Xingren, who had a pained expression on her face, and shook his head helplessly. He didn't know who his daughter took after, as she was incredibly mischievous and naughty!

As the three returned from the back mountain, a servant came running towards them. Seeing the lady standing to the side, he quickly and respectfully stopped.

"Young Master, the Crown Prince has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Upon hearing the words "Crown Prince," Miao Xingren subconsciously glanced at the woman beside him. Seeing that she showed no reaction in her eyes and was happily playing with the child in her arms, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Take Miaomiao back first, I have something to take care of!"

Ye Fan never interfered in Miao Xingren's affairs. She nodded and took the little one from his arms.

"It's okay, you go ahead and do your work. Miaomiao and I will go back and wait for you!"

Seeing the woman's eyes filled with him, Miao Xingren felt very satisfied. The thought that he now had a lover and a daughter made him smile, his eyes full of tenderness.

He lowered his head and kissed his daughter's delicate, fair face: "Be a good girl and go back with Mommy first. Daddy will come and have dinner with you in a little while!"

Miao Miao opened her round eyes and nodded obediently.

After giving his instructions, Ye Fan picked up his daughter and turned to leave.

Just as she turned around, Miao Xingren was stopped by a voice.

"Lord Miao, it's been a long time!"

Fu Yizhou walked up, and his gaze followed the man's. He saw a slender woman carrying a delicate baby as she left.

The baby was perched on the woman's shoulder, waving and grinning at Miao Xingren.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! We are so sorry for not welcoming you sooner!"

Miao Xingren put away her gentle smile and stepped forward to block Fu Yizhou's view, her gaze falling coldly on the man.

Fu Yizhou raised an eyebrow: "I was passing by your place on my way to run some business. My father just happened to ask me how the medicine was coming along, so I came. I hope I didn't disturb Lord Miao!"

Miao Xingren expressionlessly took a green bottle from his sleeve and handed it to him.

"What His Majesty requested is here. Crown Prince, please accept it!"

Fu Yizhou put his things away, glanced a few times in the direction the woman had left, and then smiled slightly.

"We are exhausted from our work at the chariot station and would like to trouble you for the night. I hope you won't mind, Lord Miao!"

Miao Xingren frowned in displeasure: "It's very cold here, which might harm His Highness's health. It would be best if His Highness found a comfortable inn to rest..."

"No need, I think this place has beautiful mountains and rivers, so I'll stay here!"

As Fu Yizhou spoke, he walked in on his own, and a large group of his subordinates followed him.

"..."

Miao Xingren frowned unhappily.

In the end, Fu Yizhou managed to settle in.

Futu Manor is very large; otherwise, it wouldn't be able to accommodate several thousand people.

On his way back after dinner, he observed as he walked.

Just as he was looking closely, his foot was suddenly twisted.

"Ouch!"

A childish voice rang out, and Fu Yizhou quickly looked down.

A pretty, fair-skinned baby was holding its head and looking at him with a frown.

Fu Yizhou was momentarily attracted by her exquisite and beautiful appearance, and squatted down to look at her.

"You must be Miao Xingren's daughter!"
