Chapter 20: Her Exes Are Everywhere In The Entertainment Industry

When the two elders left after dinner, Lu Jingli went to find his brother for a reward, like a dog wagging its tail. "Brother, wasn’t I great? Wasn’t I great?"

His brother threw something small at him.

Lu Jingli caught it with one hand. "What play thing is this?"

Looking at it properly, his eyes widened.

It was a car key. The key to the 100th anniversary Bugatti race car he had been eyeing for so long, the only one of its kind ever made!

"Oh! My beloved little darling!" Lu Jingli hugged the car key and kissed it madly. "Brother, I love you!"

Lu Tingxiao had never given in no matter how Lu Jingli had pestered his brother before. Who knew his brother would throw it right at him just for casually saying a few words in front of their parents?

That Ning Xi held a higher place in his brother’s heart than he had expected!

The more Lu Jingli thought about it, the more anxious he became. "That, big brother, are you sure it’s Ning Xi? You’re not playing and you really want to get married?"

"Married." Lu Tingxiao’s voice was firm, leaving no room for doubt or any other possibility.

Lu Jingli sighed. Since he had experience, he had to give some advice. "Then let me remind you to prepare yourself. Chasing after a woman like this is like playing a video game. There are different levels: easy mode, normal mode, difficult mode, and hell mode. And Ning Xi is definitely hell mode!

Women usually have weaknesses, but with Ning Xi, you want to use money? Even with her looks, she’s still doing so poorly in the industry, so she definitely isn’t the type to accept a financial sponsor or shady deals. You want to use love? Take a look at the lovers she had when she was overseas. Her exes are everywhere in the entertainment industry, and each and every one of them is extraordinary. When I first saw the list, I was impressed, and I’ve never been impressed by something like this before!

And if you want to get her pregnant? Don’t even bother to think that will work, she’s completely focused on her career right now, and does not want children. Even if I try for her myself, it’d be an 80% chance of a GAME OVER for me; a newbie like you would just be sacrificing yourself to give her Experience Points!"

Lu Tingxiao looked coldly at him. "100%."

Lu Jingli smirked. "Okay, okay, okay, it would 100% be GAME OVER for me, don’t sweat the small stuff, alright? The point is, I bet that Ning Xi is just like me, someone who never wants to get married or have kids. This kind of person is skeptical of relationships and love, freedom is their life. If you want to play around? That’s easy. If you want to get married? That’s really difficult!"

"That’s only because you haven’t met anyone you want to marry or have children with yet."

Lu Tingxiao’s usually frigid and cold face seemed gentle in the moonlight from the window.

Lu Jingli counted how many words his brother had said with a disbelieving face. "Ah, people who are in love really are different, even someone with no experience is giving me lessons! But what you said makes sense! So, now what? Do you need your beloved younger brother to help with anything?"

Lu Tingxiao gave him two curt words. "No need."

Lu Jingli was concerned. "What do you mean ‘no need’? Wooing girls is different from doing business. Think about it carefully. Don’t you really need a smart and handsome god-level girl-chasing coach…"

Lu Jingli was doing his best to promote himself when suddenly, the door to the study room opened with a creak.

The two brothers turned their heads to look.

Little Treasure was standing in the doorway.

Surprise flashed in Lu Tingxiao’s eyes.

"Ah, Little Treasure…" Lu Jingli was also surprised.

Little Treasure had actually left his bedroom at this hour?


Chapter 21: Little Treasure Wrecks Havoc in the Sky Palace

Everyone knew Little Treasure preferred peace and quiet. Normally, he would hide away in his room after dinner. Once the servants finished their duties, they were to return to their rooms and not come out; they were not to make a single sound, lest they provoke Little Treasure into throwing a tantrum or going out of control.

Madam Lu had been worried about Little Treasure before, and had entered his room a few times to offer him some food. The result was Little Treasure locking himself in the attic…

This was why Little Treasure refused to move in with the two elders even though they loved him so much.

Yet right now, Little Treasure had actually left his room on his own?

Not only that, Little Treasure ran directly to Lu Tingxiao and hugged his leg.

Lu Jingli guffawed. "What’s Little Treasure doing? Does he want something?"

Already seeing through his son’s intentions, Lu Tingxiao rejected the unspoken request without skipping a beat. "No, you already went there last night."

Little Treasure then looked at Lu Tingxiao’s cellphone.

"You already had one phone call at dinner." Lu Tingxiao refused again.

Watching from the sidelines, Lu Jingli finally understood. So the little guy was missing Ning Xi.

Little Treasure saw that he wouldn’t be able to get what he wanted from his father, so he ran over to Lu Jingli and also hugged his leg.

Lu Jingli was overwhelmed and flattered. "No, no, no, baby darling, don’t use this act on me. You know your Second Uncle can’t win against your cuteness!"

While Little Treasure was normally nearly always impassive, when he wanted something, his expression and mannerisms would turn so adorable, one could just die and come back to life from it.

Once he looked up at you with those big, beautiful, shiny eyes, you couldn’t help but want to fly into the sky to bring him the stars.

The only person in the entire household who could resist Little Treasure’s appeal was Lu Tingxiao.

Lu Jingli threw his hands up in the air. "Little Treasure, acting like this won’t work, I can’t defeat your dad!"

Hearing this, Little Treasure let go of Lu Jingli.

A ruthless resolution.

The little guy looked as if he had been separated from his lover by cold-hearted parents. Lu Jingli laughed so hard he had to use the wall to support himself. "Ah, Little Treasure, you don’t have to be in such a rush. There’s a saying that love lasts longer when lovers are separated since absence makes the heart grow fonder. Wait until your dad marries Auntie Xi, then you can see her everyday!"

His words had no effect.

The little guy ran out the door.

Lu Jingli shrugged. "What do we do now?"

"He ate a lot tonight," Lu Tingxiao said.

His words meant that a hunger strike couldn’t be used any time soon as the ultimate threat.

Lu Jingli relaxed at his brother’s words.

But they underestimated Little Treasure.

He was a child, so he didn’t need to scheme big; just one word, ‘havoc’, was enough.

Right after they were done talking, there was a loud bang from the living room downstairs.

Lu Jingli and his brother glanced at each other, and they sprinted downstairs.

In such a short time, the entire living room was already a mess. A big vase, originally as tall as a person, lay shattered on the floor. Anything that could be pushed over or broken had shared the same fate.

"LU JINGYU!"

Lu Tingxiao only used Little Treasure’s full name when he was truly angry.

If even Lu Jingli couldn’t handle that frightening pressure, how could Little Treasure?

Little Treasure quivered with fear at the sight of his father’s enraged face. He became even more agitated and his emotions ran wild. He started screaming at the top of his lungs and ran around to break more things.

Lu Jingli immediately chased after him, cautiously aware of how there were so many broken shards on the floor; it would be disastrous if they fell.
