After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Lin Siheng felt inexplicably flustered.

"Little Daddy..."

He sat alone at the desk, each word of Shen Qingheng's words striking his heart.

What about the stepfather? Is the stepfather also like water spilled from a bowl?

He moved his lips, as if to say that wasn't the case.

She wanted to chase after her little father, but after only two steps, her legs felt as heavy as lead.

Lin Siheng lowered his head, stood still, and nervously twisted his fingers.

Then, for some reason, he gritted his teeth and rushed into the rain.

In the bedroom, Shen Qingheng, her eyes red, asked the man anxiously, "Am I really bad at raising children...?"

Lin Yunyuan kissed his husband's forehead, "No, that's not true. Heng'er is the best daddy in the world."

"No, that's not it." Shen Qingheng choked back tears. "I'm a very, very bad stepfather..."

"Heng'er, don't cry yet," Lin Yunyuan said. "He wouldn't say such things for no reason. There must be servants in the manor gossiping about him. Husband, we have to find these people."

Ignoring the servants' advice, Lin Siheng rushed out of the mansion in the rain. He had only run half a street when he bumped into a beautiful woman in red.

He glanced up at the beautiful woman in red, then hurriedly ran into the rain and quickly disappeared down the street.

The servants quickly chased after him, holding umbrellas and calling out, "Young Master, Young Master! Don't run around!"

Lan Shu crossed her arms. "This kid looks pretty chubby and healthy. Could he be yours?"

"Our family is the only one on this second half of the street," Lin Yuntang said. "He's probably my eldest brother's son, Lin Siheng."

"Oh, I know your older brother, Guishan Xueyin, right? His name is quite famous in the martial arts world," Lan Shu said. "What's this kid doing running around in the rain? Did he run away from home?"

Lin Yuntang handed the oil-paper umbrella to Lan Shu and said, "I'll go and bring him back."

"Hey, wait a minute." Lan Shu straightened the man's clothes. "Alright, go ahead."

Lin Yuntang took two steps, then turned back.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Yuntang said, "I'll take you inside first."

"No need," Lan Shu waved her hand. "I can manage by myself. You go and bring that child back first. In this heavy rain, it would be terrible if he fell into the water."

Lin Yuntang looked at Lan Shu. The beautiful woman in red in the rain had a slender waist and a beautiful face, like a blooming peony.

He then stepped forward and hugged him, but quickly let go in an instant. "Okay, I understand. It's raining heavily outside, you should go inside and take shelter from the rain."

He paused for a moment, then said, "My courtyard is called Autumn Rain Garden."

Lan Shu blushed slightly from the hasty hug, and by the time he realized what had happened, the man had already disappeared.

He said in a low voice, half-coquettishly and half-scoldingly, "Silly boy, you've gotten my clothes all wet."

Lan Shu walked to the entrance of the Lin residence and just as he reached out to knock, the door opened.

Several servants, holding oil-paper umbrellas, walked out. "Quick, chase after them! The young master must be arguing with the master again."

Lan Shu curled her lips, thinking to herself that they were indeed from the Lin family, all of them acting like simpletons.

Running away from home on a rainy day, I don't know how someone's brain works, they don't seem very bright.

At this moment, a servant noticed him and asked, "Young master, who are you looking for?"

Lan Shu clutched her lower abdomen and asked, "Lin Yuntang lives here, right?"

The servant nodded hesitantly, "Indeed... May I ask what business the young master has with our Fourth Master?"

With the gate open, Lan Shu naturally walked around the servants and entered the Lin residence, whereupon the servants quickly came to stop him.

Lan Shu clutched her lower abdomen. "Don't touch me! If anything happens to your Fourth Master's child, you can't take responsibility."

The servants looked at each other in bewilderment.

Lan Shu said smugly, "I'm here to get Lin Yuntang to take responsibility. He can't possibly abandon us, a widow and her orphans, can he?"

"Young master, please sit in the main hall for a moment. I will go and ask my lord for permission."

Lan Shu said, "Go quickly. Oh, by the way, I only drink Yunzhou Maojian tea; I don't drink other varieties."

When Ye Qingyu heard that a pregnant man had come in and was demanding someone take responsibility, she turned pale with fright. "He asked whose child it was?"

The servant reported truthfully: "He said it belonged to the Fourth Master."

"Ah, the fourth brother?" Ye Qingyu immediately calmed down.

He calmly sat back down. "Just kick him out and say that Fourth Brother is in Ningzhou. Let him go to Ningzhou and find someone to take charge."

When the servants arrived at the main hall, they couldn't find Lan Shu anywhere; they had no idea where he had gone.

Lan Shu was strolling leisurely around the Lin residence at this moment.

He randomly grabbed a passing waiter and asked, "Where does Lin Nian live?"

The waiter was startled and screamed, "Who, who are you?"

Lan Shu clutched her lower abdomen. "I'm your Fourth Master's lover. I'm pregnant and I'm here to make him take responsibility."

The servant boy said blankly, "But our Fourth Master hasn't been back for several years." He stared suspiciously at Lan Shu's lower abdomen, "Is it really our Fourth Master's?"

Lan Shu was prepared. She took out a red string from her neck with a jade buckle hanging from it. "You can go and ask your old master if this thing belongs to your Fourth Master."

The waiter gasped, "You, you really...?"

"Yes, yes." Lan Shu nodded. "I'm your future husband, Fourth Master. Tell me quickly, which courtyard does Lin Nian live in?"

The servant remembered that His Highness Prince Cheng was also in Youfang Garden. Even if he had any bad intentions, nothing would happen with His Highness Prince Cheng there.

Thinking of this, he said, "I'll take you to Youfang Garden."

"Okay." Lan Shu squinted her eyes and smiled like a little fox.

"Wait here for me, I'll go in and announce your arrival," the servant instructed.

Lan Shu agreed quickly, "Okay, okay, okay."

As soon as the servant left, Lan Shu followed right behind.

His martial arts skills were remarkable, his steps were incredibly light, and his movements were like those of a ghost. Following the servant behind him was as natural as returning home.

"Young master, there's a young man outside who claims to be Fourth Master's...friend, and wants to see you." The servant was too shy to utter the words "mistress."

Lin Nian asked in confusion, "Fourth Brother's friend? Who is it?"

Yin Cheng shrugged. "I don't know."

Lin Nian said loudly, "Please let him in."

"Yes."

As soon as the servant turned around, Lan Shu appeared behind him.

The servant was startled. This person! Doesn't he make a sound when he walks?

Lan Shu patted him on the shoulder, "Go ahead and do your own thing, I can go in by myself."

After saying that, he pushed open the door. "Guess who I am?"

Yin Cheng recognized his voice as soon as he spoke outside the door, and rolled his eyes when he heard this.

Lin Nian exclaimed in surprise, "Lan Shu!"

"Soo-soo!" Pearl was overjoyed. She climbed off the soft couch and rushed to Lan Shu's side, hugging his leg warmly.

Lan Shu picked up Pearl and said, "Silly girl, it's Shu Shu, Shu Juan Shu."

Pearl pouted, having her own opinion on how to address someone: "Susu".

Yin Cheng sighed, thinking, "When will my son ever be able to pronounce those retroflex and alveolar consonants correctly?"
