Young Master He's mermaid baby is super sweet

He Shizhou glanced at Huo Chengfeng, smiled, and then nodded to He Linyan.

"Recently, Chen Yan has been working with Mr. Huo on some projects. Mr. Huo is coming to the company for an inspection, but I have been on leave and Yan'an is not often at the company. I am really sorry for taking up Mr. Huo's time."

He Linyan nodded. Huo Chengfeng had indeed said he was coming to inspect Chenyan, but it had been some time and he hadn't seen Huo Chengfeng come. Instead, Huo Chengfeng just stayed by his side every day as if he had nothing to do. He thought Huo Chengfeng was lying to him.

Now it seems that he was overthinking things. Why would Huo Chengfeng personally come all the way to Beicheng for him?

He lowered his head to hide the loneliness in his eyes. After a while, he composed himself and regained his usual gentle demeanor. He didn't say much and changed the subject.

After exchanging a few words, Luo You finished his small cake, and He Shizhou took him to the restaurant's buffet to pick out some more items for him to eat.

After the group had been talking for a while, the pregnant man, who had eaten his fill, was getting sleepy. He leaned on He Shizhou's arm, yawning and nodding his head.

He Linyan was unaware of Luo You's pregnancy, but seeing how sleepy he was, he didn't chat with He Shizhou for long and sent the two of them back first.

He Shizhou agreed, since none of them were in a hurry to go back anyway, and they would have time to talk later.

He got up, picked up the sleepy little one, and left.

Back in the room, He Shizhou carried Luo You to wash up, and after tidying him up, he put him on the bed. Luo You snuggled up on the bed and soon fell asleep.

He Shizhou took the computer and dealt with some company matters on the side, not going to sleep until midnight.

The next morning, before the two of them were even awake, He Shizhou's phone started ringing incessantly.

He Shizhou took the phone, glanced at Wen Feng's name on it, released Luo You, got up, and went out to answer the call.

Wen Feng on the other side seemed a little anxious, and the surrounding noise was chaotic.

"Boss, you should go back to the company. Lu Yuan is here and insists on seeing you. He's in the meeting room on the first floor, and no one dares to approach him."

He Shizhou frowned deeply. Fu Yan'an wasn't at the company, and he was here, so there was really no one who could handle it. Besides, he also wanted to see Lu Yuan, so after hesitating for a while, he agreed.

"Let him wait. I'm in the suburbs now and it'll be a while before I get back. Let me make him a cup of tea and let him wait patiently."

Wen Feng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed. After a while, the two hung up the phone.

He Shizhou returned to the bedroom and looked at the little guy still sleeping on the bed, feeling somewhat troubled.

He was definitely going back, but the little guy was still half asleep and might throw a tantrum. Besides, since he liked it here and hadn't had enough fun all day yesterday, He Shizhou didn't plan to take him back.

It only takes a little over an hour to drive back from here and get things sorted out. I should be back by the afternoon, so I'll try not to bother Luo You.

He walked to the bedside and gently pinched the little guy's cheek. When the little guy fussily shrank into the blanket, He Shizhou chuckled softly a few times and then pulled him out again.

"Baby, I need to go back to the company. Will you stay here by yourself?" He Shizhou said softly.

Luo You stirred, opened his eyes to look at He Shizhou, and then shook his head.

"No, Youyou doesn't want to be alone." Luo You snuggled her head into He Shizhou's arms.

He didn't want to be left behind, but he wasn't fully awake yet, so he didn't want to get out of bed.

"Honey, I'm just going back to the company for a bit, and I'll be back as soon as possible. I should be back by the afternoon. Can you just stay here by yourself for a while? It's too much of a hassle for you to come back with me," He Shizhou persuaded.

If the little guy wanted to go back with him, he would have to get up now. Besides, with a pregnant woman on the road, the car couldn't go fast, so he didn't want to take Luo You back.

Luo You considered it for a moment and finally nodded in agreement, then tugged at He Shizhou's sleeve.

"Then He Shizhou should come back soon."

He Shizhou agreed, "Okay, I'll be back as soon as possible. Youyou, sleep a little longer. When you wake up, call Su Tao and ask him to come find you. Don't wander off on your own, okay?"

Luo Youdu obediently agreed, and He Shizhou coaxed him to sleep before getting up and leaving.

He was on the phone with Su Tao while driving to the parking lot to get his car. He was also in a hurry to get back as soon as possible, so he walked quickly.

He Shizhou didn't notice that a man dressed in black brushed past him. Upon hearing his voice, the man lowered the brim of his hat and turned his head slightly so that He Shizhou couldn't see his face.

He Shizhou got into the car, instructed Su Tao to take care of Luo You, and then hung up the phone. He drove out of the parking lot and headed straight into the city.

Since Luo You wasn't in the car this time, there was no need to slow down, so He Shizhou arrived in an hour and a half on the highway.

He called Wen Feng before he arrived, and Wen Feng was already waiting for him when he got to the company.

He Shizhou handed the car keys to Wen Feng and asked a question.

"How is it? What's the situation inside?"

Wen Feng glanced into the company before saying, "The person is still in the reception room. We've been waiting for over two hours. Apart from coming out to use the restroom, they haven't said anything or urged us. It seems like they don't intend to cause any trouble."

He Shizhou narrowed his eyes slightly. The rumored Lu Yuan was a thug who had always been fierce and arrogant. He was surprised that Lu Yuan was so calm and composed this time.

"Park the car, I'll go take a look," He Shizhou said as he walked into the company.

Pushing open the conference room door, He Shizhou immediately saw Lu Yuan sitting on the sofa with a scar on his face, and another man who had come with him.

No wonder no one dared to approach; the young woman at the front desk was probably frightened by the man with scars and tattoos.

When Lu Yuan heard the door open, he looked up and saw He Shizhou. His face immediately lit up with a smile. He took two steps forward, stretched out his hand, and called out.

"President He."

He Shizhou didn't shake hands with him, but instead walked to the sofa opposite them and sat down, and said directly.

"Mr. Lu, you've come all the way from Jiangcheng. Just say what's on your mind. I have some things to attend to and need to leave urgently."

Before Lu Yuan could speak, the people behind him couldn't hold back any longer and rushed two steps toward He Shizhou, pointing at him.

"He Shizhou, you're so arrogant. We've been waiting for you for over two hours, what's the rush?"

But before he could take two steps, Lu Yuan grabbed him and said to the man with a dark expression, "Get out."

"Brother Lu." The man wanted to say something, but Lu Yuan glanced at him and he could only walk away helplessly.

Lu Yuan's face returned to its previous expression. He sat down opposite He Shizhou, rubbed his hands together, and then spoke.

"Mr. He, as you probably guessed, I'm here for the project on the north bank of Jiangcheng. I hope you can give that project to us, and of course, we won't let you suffer any losses." He took out a few more folders from his bag and pushed them towards He Shizhou. "These are a few other projects in Jiangcheng, all quite good. How about giving them to Chenyan?"

He Shizhou glanced at it, didn't take it, just smiled and leaned back on the sofa.

"Mr. Lu should also know that there's nothing better than the north bank of Jiangcheng right now, so why would I want to switch with you?"

Lu Yuan's expression stiffened, but he still held back and explained again.

"President He, Chenyan is indeed capable, but it's not easy to secure such a large project for the first time in the real estate engineering field, especially since it's a government project. There can't be any mistakes. Why don't you practice with other smaller projects first? Yuansheng has already made thorough preparations for the Jiangcheng North Bank project."

He Shizhou finally reached out and casually flipped through the pages. Lu Yuan had really invested a lot in him, and the projects here were all pretty good, but He Shizhou still pushed them back.

"I refuse." He Shizhou refused outright, leaving no room for negotiation.

Lu Yuan finally couldn't hold back any longer, his face showing a hint of anger, and the scar on his cheek scrunched up.

"He Shizhou, I came all the way from Jiangcheng to Beicheng and waited for you for more than two hours. Are you playing me for a fool? The Jiangcheng North Bank project was practically secured, but it was suddenly hijacked. You did this on purpose."

Having torn off all pretense, He Shizhou had nothing to hide and simply nodded.

"Yes, I did it on purpose, Lu Yuan. You should have thought of this day when you kidnapped my people and threatened me. This is just the first step. This is not over yet." He Shizhou had achieved his goal. He had no intention of fighting with Lu Yuan here, so he stood up and left.

Behind him, Lu Yuan picked up the tea set on the table and smashed it on the ground, shouting at He Shizhou's back.

"He Shizhou, I did send people, but didn't you arrest them all? They never even reached my hands. Why did you have to be so ruthless?"

He Shizhou ignored him and walked out. When he reached the door, the person who had been guarding him tried to rush over, but Wen Feng blocked him.

He Shizhou said to Wen Feng, "See what he smashed and make him pay for it before he leaves. If he doesn't, call the police."

Wen Feng agreed. He Shizhou glanced at his phone; it wasn't too late yet, so he went upstairs.

He couldn't go to Luo You now. If Lu Yuan found out that he went to see Luo You after leaving here, he would inevitably take his anger out on Luo You. So he went upstairs first and would leave later.

*

After He Shizhou left, Luo You took another nap, only waking up hungry close to noon.

Luo You rubbed his stomach, sat up in bed, stayed in the room for a while, and then prepared to go out for dinner.

But he didn't look for Su Tao. Luo You was someone who never liked to trouble others, and besides, he just wanted to go out for a meal and would be back soon, so he didn't need anyone to accompany him.

He packed up, took his room key, and headed out to the restaurant. The restaurant had a 24-hour buffet, and you could eat as much as you wanted with your room key. Luo You knew the way, so he walked to the restaurant alone.

As Luo You walked along a small path, a man dressed in black approached. Luo You frowned, feeling a sense of familiarity. When the man looked up, revealing a pair of cold eyes beneath his hat brim, Luo You froze.

He would never forget that face; it was the face of the man who had kidnapped him last time.

Without a second thought, Luo You turned around and tried to run back, but he was too slow. Before long, someone grabbed his hair and dragged him aside.

"Mermaid?" the man said coldly, taking out a syringe and stabbing it directly into Luo You's arm.

Luo You tried to struggle, but the man's movements were too fast. His mouth was covered, and he could only make "mmm" sounds.
