At this moment, it wasn’t yet mealtime, and Ling Qi didn’t restrict the little child’s eating habits. He knew the little guy could eat whatever he wanted, and waiting for mealtime wouldn’t affect his appetite.
It was his first day back on the White Mist Star.
The little child indulged himself at home, enjoying a
comfortable time.
During dinner, he was also brought to the palace, where
Ludwig and Ai Wei welcomed him with enthusiasm.
The little child focused on eating, while An Nuo worked on
adapting to the environment.
He rarely ventured out, so this long journey posed a great challenge
to his body.
In the evening of that day, An Nuo developed a fever.
However, it was just a mild fever. An Nuo didn’t tell anyone
during the late night. He wrapped himself in a blanket and endured until
morning.
When morning arrived, he touched his forehead and realized
the fever had subsided.
The little child who had received much attention throughout
the day saw a noticeable decline in his treatment the following day.
Zhan Xi didn’t hesitate to send him to kindergarten.
“Ningning, you still have final exams coming up. You promised
Daddy that you wouldn’t fail in the finals.”
The little child nodded sluggishly.
After not attending school for several days, suddenly
returning made him feel even more averse to studying.
“Ningning, you’re back!”
Just as the reluctant the little child was about to cling to
his father’s leg and ask him to take him back, the children inside the
classroom noticed him.
The enthusiastic children from the Green Grass Class beckoned
to Ningning, cheering and urging him to come in.
The friendly and kind-hearted classmates, along with the
gentle Teacher Lily, made the little child give up on clinging to his father’s
leg.
Taking advantage of the situation, Zhan Xi sent the little
child towards the group of children. “Ningning, play with the other children.
Daddy will come to pick you up after school.”
After sending the little child off to school, Zhan Xi felt
relieved. When he returned home, he looked at An Nuo, who was idle at home, and
pondered for a while before deciding to find Ling Qi first.
“I have a lot of heavy work to do and can’t bring him along.”
Zhan Xi said to Ling Qi, “You should spend more time with An
Nuo at home. Let him move around, and make sure he eats a little more when he’s
free.”
An Nuo’s health was very poor.
After observing for two days, Zhan Xi became even more
certain that his previous conclusion was correct—An Nuo lacked exercise and
adaptation to the environment.
To improve his health, he couldn’t pamper him like before,
but needed to focus on his overall well-being.
Ling Qi glanced up at Zhan Xi but didn’t say anything.
While Zhan Xi was wondering, he keenly noticed that Ling Qi
had just made a pile of delicious pastries. Making these pastries was a
laborious task, something that the little child would want to eat, but Ling Qi
hadn’t made this much before.
Now, before the child could even have the chance to beg Ling
Qi to make pastries, Ling Qi silently made so many.
Zhan Xi’s sharp gaze saw through the truth. “You made these
for An Nuo!”
Ling Qi remained calm. “Who said that? I just felt like
eating them myself.”
Zhan Xi sneered, “You’re trying to deceive me. You’re
extremely picky when it comes to food, and you don’t even eat the pastries you
make!”
Ling Qi didn’t argue with him. He simply walked away with the
freshly made pastries, not leaving a single piece for Zhan Xi.
Zhan Xi was infuriated.
What made Zhan Xi even more furious was that in the middle of
the night, the little child started bothering him.
“Let Uncle come!”
The little child banged on the bed, tilting his chubby face
and saying to Zhan Xi, “Let Uncle come and sleep too!”
Zhan Xi’s house didn’t have many rooms.
In order to make space for An Nuo and his luggage, Ling Qi
gave up his own room.
Now, Zhan Xi, Ling Qi, and the little child were all sleeping
in the child’s room. However, the greedy little brat kept tapping the bed,
insisting that his uncle also come to sleep with them.
Zhan Xi didn’t indulge the chubby kid.
He held the little brat’s hand and earnestly emphasized, “No,
don’t you already have an aunt? Your Uncle can’t come to sleep, it’s not
appropriate.”
The little child didn’t hide anything from his dad. So Zhan
Xi clearly knew that An Nuo’s partner was King Raphael from the Sixth Planet.
He needed to maintain a certain distance from Raphael’s queen
as well.
The little brat’s tantrum failed, and when he finally went to
sleep, he lay there with a straight body, determined not to let his chubby feet
touch his dad.
Zhan Xi waited until he fell asleep and then puts his chubby
feet in his own lap to keep them warm.
Time passed gradually.
During the day, the little child felt like he’s in prison at
school, but in the evening, it’s like he’s set free.
As soon as he finished school, he went to find his uncle to
play.
And every time he went to find his uncle, his uncle was
either eating or preparing to eat. Ling Qi and Zhan Xi were experts at feeding.
One was responsible for the food at home, and the other would bring food when
returning home.
Whenever they saw An Nuo, their first question was, “Have you
eaten?”
Them feeding An Nuo didn’t involve any romantic thoughts.
They simply felt that An Nuo was too thin.
In just a few days of being fed, An Nuo was horrified to
discover that he had actually gained weight around his waist.
After touching his waist, he raised his hand to pinch his own
face.
After a while, he murmured, “What exactly do Zhan Xi and Ling
Qi do?”
These two were too scary.
Raphael had made every effort to feed him for so long, hoping
he would gain some weight. But he always comforted Raphael, saying that he
naturally had a lean physique.
Among their royal family members, few were not slender,
except for Ningning.
Now it seemed that Ningning’s chubby appearance was not
something he was born with, but rather the result of encountering an expert in
raising children, Zhan Xi.
While An Nuo was lost in thought, pinching his own flesh, the
little child poked his head out and suddenly appeared at the door.
“Uncle.”
The little child, poking his head out, called his uncle and
said, “Let’s go, we have work to do!”
The little child was a filial child. He wanted to take his
uncle out to play, but he didn’t have any money. To earn money, the little
child went outside every day after school.
When he earned money, he would bring his uncle along.
An Nuo stood up when called and temporarily stopped worrying
about his weight gain. He followed the little child to the yard and watched as
the little child pushed out his own little car and then got in with his uncle.
The little child’s car was the one that Huo Lin had
previously driven, specifically designed for young children, with limited
availability in the interstellar market and a high price. Most importantly, the
top of the car could be opened, turning it into a convertible.
Not only could it be a convertible, but the car could also
hold many things inside.
The little child, with his uncle on board, set off
energetically to collect scrap items.
Just as they had set off not long ago, Ling Qi received a
phone call.
The call was from Cole, that crazy person.
In order to avoid going to court, Cole had used every means
possible. What he had said before, that Ling Qi’s mother was not dead, turned
out to be true.
Mans had already found some leads, but it wasn’t easy to
extract more information from Cole, who mixed the truth with lies in his words.
Time was running out for Ling Qi.
It was inevitable that Cole would have to go to court, and
Ludwig would not forgive him.
Before Cole’s court trial, there was only so much time left
to extract any bit of information from him.
When Cole called this time, his words were strange. He still
had a threatening tone, but this time he used their family’s Ningning as a
bargaining chip.
“Once you let me go to court, I will make that brat of yours
accompany me to destruction.”
Cole’s threatening words ended there, and he coldly
continued, “You can relay my message to the guardian of that brat. I’m not
joking with you. Once I go to court, your family’s brat will be completely
finished.”
When it came to the little child, Ling Qi didn’t hesitate. He
told Zhan Xi everything Cole said.
But Zhan Xi responded coldly, “He still wants to drag our
child into destruction? He’s really giving himself face, isn’t he? Lately, he’s
been spouting nonsense more and more.”
“Ling Qi, don’t worry. On the day of his trial, I won’t let
Ningning go.”
The biggest threat Cole posed to their family’s child was the
fact that he had physically beaten their child before. This time, if he didn’t
bring the child along, no matter how far Cole’s reach extended, he couldn’t lay
a hand on their child from a distance.
Zhan Xi and Ling Qi continued discussing Cole and the child,
while the child himself was being pulled in a cart by his uncle, completely
immersed in scavenging for scrap materials and unable to extricate himself.
“Uncle, when I earn money, I’ll buy you spicy snacks!”
The little child, driving his cart, performed a drift and
arrived at another trash bin.
He rummaged through the trash, searching for useful scraps.
As for his handsome uncle sitting in the cart, the little
child cherished him greatly and didn’t allow him to get up and rummage through
the trash bin.
Soon enough.
The little child found a few pieces of cardboard and a few
bottles. He skillfully folded the cardboard, stomped on it with force, and then
put it in the bag along with the bottles.
In the bag, almost as tall as him, there were already nearly
half a bag of scrap items.
An Nuo looked at the little nephew who was diligently working
to support his uncle, feeling warm inside.
“Ningning, is picking up scrap tiring?”
“Not tiring!”
The little nephew’s face was flushed from exhaustion, but he
didn’t complain. After placing the large woven bag properly, he hopped back
into the car and drove towards the next trash bin.
The little car had been driving outside for who knew how
long.
Passersby along the road saw the little kid in the car
getting out to collect scrap items. Each of them expressed their perplexity, as
if they had never seen such a scene before.
“Driving a limited edition kid’s car and picking through
trash bins for scrap. Which wealthy family is this kid from?”
“I don’t know. Maybe it’s the young master of a wealthy
household experiencing life.”
“But that doesn’t seem right. I see him picking through scrap
with such skill...”
“Tsk, I don’t understand what these rich second-generation
kids are up to.”
The little kid they were talking about naturally didn’t hear
these comments. After filling up a woven bag, he eagerly headed to the
recycling station to exchange it for money.
On the way to the recycling station, the little child felt a
twitch in his eyelid.
Dad said if the left eyelid twitched, it meant money was
coming! If the right eyelid twitched, it’s just superstition!
The little kid rubbed his eyelid and realized it was the
right one twitching, so he didn’t pay much attention to it.
With his hand on the steering wheel and the other just coming
down from his eye, a person suddenly ran in front of the car.
The little child made an emergency turn, but in the next
second, the car landed with a thud in a ditch.
An Nuo, who was sitting in the car, was caught off guard and
flipped along with it.
Fortunately, the car had good safety features. Although it
landed in a ditch, both the young driver and his passenger were unharmed. There
was not even a single hair out of place.
