The unattainable beauty was driven to depravity and madness by a wicked seed.

Lu Sui was bewildered, then glared at him.

Shen Qinghuai raised his hand, causing Lu Sui's fingers to rise as well, then grasped his wrist and kissed it. "Your glare makes my heart flutter, I'm completely at your feet. Speaking of feet, I'll warm baby's feet tonight, and then baby—me, okay?"

Lu Sui withdrew his hand, his face expressionless and cold-hearted, and said, "Absolutely not."

"Absolutely not..." Shen Qinghuai said indulgently, mimicking his words, and asked, "Where did you learn that new word?"

"I want to eat cotton candy."

"Yes, ma'am."

Ding.

The marshmallows are done baking.

Wearing gloves, Shen Qinghuai picked up the oil paper and placed it on the plate next to him. Lu Sui was holding a strawberry, and Shen Qinghuai said, "Put it on top."

After Lu Sui placed it, he shoved it in with a loud thud.

Lu Sui frowned. "The chubby cotton candy has become so ugly."

"But it will taste delicious."

Shen Qinghuai completely wrapped the strawberries inside, covered them with another lid, and added chocolate inside. He then put the chocolate-covered strawberries in the freezer for a while, followed by the blueberries.

Seeing Lu Sui take out popcorn and start rummaging through his bag for spicy snacks, Shen Qinghuai paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Will this taste good?"

"You won't let me in."

Lu Sui poked Shen Qinghuai in the chest, "Hurry up and let it go."

He would have put it away himself if he hadn't been without gloves and worried about burning his hands with the marshmallow.

"Mmm." Shen Qinghuai put a spicy snack in Lu Sui's mouth, and as soon as he put one in, Lu Sui said it was done.

"?"

"What if it doesn't taste good? It'll be a waste of spicy strips."

Shen Qinghuai praised him, "Our Sui Sui was indeed farsighted."

"You're always flattering me."

"If you're not going to flatter me, can I at least flatter you—ouch, I let the baby bite you earlier, why are you only doing it now? I told you, your boyfriend, this kind of force is just for adjustment—next time, use more force." Shen Qinghuai felt the lingering sensation on his chest, feeding Lu Sui cotton candy.

The toasted marshmallows had a crispy exterior and were stringy inside. Lu Sui ate them with gusto, making no attempt to hide his enjoyment.

"Let me try it." Shen Qinghuai said, and was about to bite down where Lu Sui had bitten, but Lu Sui hadn't finished chewing yet, so he took another bite and took it from him, "I won't give it to you."

Shen Qinghuai heard the sound of his own heart breaking.

Lu Tonghai went to see Lu Huai Ren. Lu Huai Ren had stubble around his lips and bloodshot eyes. The first thing he asked Lu Tonghai was where Fang Yu was, his voice harsh and cutting, "Fang Yu isn't well. She should have gone to bed earlier last night. You woke her up and took her away. You're animals!"

Give Fang Yu back to me!

"Give it back to me!"

Separated by the glass, Lu Tonghai sat on a chair with his legs apart, his cane supporting his palms between his thighs. His white hair at the temples blended seamlessly with his iron-gray suit, and his eyes remained sharp and intimidating.

Lu Huai Ren was born to him and Xu Ban Meng. Unlike Lu Yun Shen and the others, Lu Tong Hai didn't care about his children when he was young. They were just tools to consolidate his position. He only started to care about them as he got older. But these people had already developed their own obsessive thoughts and were out of control. Compared to his younger self, Lu Huai Ren was even more powerful and terrifying.

Outside the detention center, Lu Tonghai got into his car. Not long after he left, he received photos from his assistant showing a large crowd of reporters at the company entrance. He then asked his driver to take him back to the Lu family's old residence.

After sitting down and taking a couple of sips of tea, the butler said, "The young master isn't at school. That man surnamed Shen asked for leave for him and took him away."

"Where did you take it?"

"He lives on the sixth floor of Building 3 in the Mo Hai residential complex, together with the young master."

Lu Tonghai paused in his tea-drinking motion. "Didn't you come out?"

"no."

"How long have you been living together?"

"Less than a month."

"Hmm." Lu Tonghai swirled his teacup, continued drinking along the rim until the tea was empty, and said, "There's no need to follow them. It's his freedom to date whomever he wants."

"Dad, tell me, Grandpa knows that Lu Sui is dating a guy, why isn't he angry?" Lu Xingchen asked, puzzled, on the other end of the phone.

"Why are you talking so much? Has the contract been finalized yet? You're always acting like you're missing a screw. I'm warning you, shut up. Don't waste your good life on something that's just asking for trouble."

"How did I end up courting death?"

"You're asking for trouble! You went to see my dad in the middle of the day! You're asking for trouble! You showed my dad the photos! I really don't understand, you're already incredibly stupid, you don't have a good brain, so why do you have to think you're so important to your grandpa!"

"Grandpa is so smart, how could I be stupid!"

"Let me tell you the truth, your father is an illegitimate child! Even your third and fourth uncles are your grandfather's illegitimate children! So they all stay put, only you run around like a rabbit! Can you please stop causing trouble? You'll feel better when you're kicked out and starving! Lu Sui is so pitiful, and you're just adding fuel to the fire, are you even human?!"

Lu Yunshen hung up the phone and started smoking.

He's 40 this year. Although at this age, one can let go of everything, there are still things he can't forget. It's like when he was a child, no one taught him or loved him. He had a mother, but she died early. He had a father, but it was like he didn't have one. He skipped school and no one cared. If he got into a fight, Lu Tonghai would beat him to death without asking why.

They had long suspected they weren't biologically related, but paternity tests showed they were. The youngest brother was kidnapped, and Lu Yun Shen overheard Lu Tong Hai saying he would retrieve the body after Lu Tong Hai died. The butler, standing nearby, tried to persuade them, mentioning the term "illegitimate child."

The case is solved. Although they are biological children, they are all illegitimate children. Later, Lu Sui was born and looked more and more like Xu Banmeng's photo on the wall. He then realized that among all those people, only Lu Huai Ren was his biological son.

Lu Xingchen sent those videos online to Lu Yunshen, and he watched them. He really didn't know how Lu Huai Ren could do such a thing. He used to think that Lu Sui was arrogant and rude and always targeted him, but now he only regretted it. Why was he, an elder, so petty about a junior? He was shameless!

That afternoon, Shen Qinghuai played video games with Lu Sui. Neither of them had played much before, but Lu Sui quickly became able to carry him to victory.

Around 8 p.m., Shen Qinghuai pestered Lu Sui to teach him to draw. He sat behind Lu Sui and put his hand under Lu Sui's clothes to rub his lower abdomen. He said he felt unwell after drinking Chinese medicine.

Lu Sui asked, "Why don't you look at your experimental data?"

"What?"

"You always look at your experimental data, why aren't you looking at it today?"

Shen Qinghuai said, "I already saw it while you were sleeping."

He pointed to the strawberries in the picture and asked, "How's the drawing?"

"A lack of talent."

This was an answer Shen Qinghuai hadn't expected. He thought Lu Sui would say ugly, or very ugly, or that the paper was dirty. It turned out to be a lack of talent. "How can your little brain come up with so many strange and cute words?"

I'm going to faint from cuteness.

Shen Qinghuai hugged and kissed him. This kiss was unexpected; Lu Sui was placed on the carpet, and Shen Qinghuai knelt between him, pressing down on his genitals. A tutorial was playing on his phone. He kissed him first, then asked in a hoarse voice, "Can I learn and practice at the same time?"
