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.
"Brother, we can't continue like this, why don't we just call Ning Xi over?"
"We cannot call her," Lu Tingxiao replied coldly.
Lu Jingli did his best to persuade him. "Brother, Little Treasure is a child, not a work employee. Don’t be too harsh with him, there’s nothing wrong with spoiling him a bit. What child doesn't throw a tantrum?"
"It is not your place to teach me how to raise my child." Lu Tingxiao's expression was icy. It appeared that he was determined not to let Little Treasure get used to acting out in order to get his way.
It was a real headache for Lu Jingli, caught in-between this father and son pair.
If the situation got any further out of hand that the two elders heard about it, the fact that he had brought Little Treasure to a wine bar would be exposed once they started looking deeper.
God, someone quickly come and save him!
While Lu Tingxiao went to catch Little Treasure, Lu Jingli sneakily sent a hasty text message to Ning Xi’s cellphone…
…
That evening, Ning Xi was at home reading her script while messaging some people online at the same time.
Evil Fairy King: Little Ning Xi, can’t you change your old-fashioned QQ name? It irritates my eyes!
Loneliness Like Neverending Arrows in the Void: And Evil Fairy King isn’t irritating? You have the nerve to criticize me?
Evil Fairy King: Cough, I’m back next month, come to the airport to pick me up!
Loneliness Like Neverending Arrows in the Void: Not going, busy.
Evil Fairy King: Come pick me up!
Loneliness Like Neverending Arrows in the Void: I said I’m busy!
Evil Fairy King: Are you coming or not?
Loneliness Like Neverending Arrows in the Void: The other party doesn’t want to speak to you and throws a dog at you.
Evil Fairy King: The other party catches your dog and screws it.
Loneliness Like Neverending Arrows in the Void: The dog feels as though it’s been pierced by a needle.
Evil Fairy King: F***! How are you dirtier than me! Also, what are you saying is a needle!
Loneliness Like Neverending Arrows in the Void: You started it, I’m not going to banter with you anymore, I still need to take a look at my script.
Evil Fairy King: It’s just a small role, what’s there to look at! We used to date, are you really going to be so unfeeling?
Loneliness Like Neverending Arrows in the Void: I’ve dated so many, which number were you?
Evil Fairy King: Little Ning Xi! Just you wait!
Ning Xi turned off her computer to focus on her script.
After reading for a while, her cell phone suddenly rang, displaying an unfamiliar phone number.
She was worried that it might be the production team, so she instantly picked up the call.
"Hello, Ning Xi, help!!"
"You are…"
"I’m Lu Jingli, come to the Platinum Palace quickly. Something’s happened to Little Treasure!"
"What? What about Little Treasure?" Ning Xi immediately felt anxious.
"Just know it’s an emergency, please hurry, hurry… Bro bro bro, could you calm down… the child is still young… Little Treasure, Little Treasure, you can’t break that… ah…"
Lu Jingli sounded so serious, and the sound of things crashing and shattering coming through the phone made Ning Xi even more nervous. She hurriedly started to change as she replied, "I’m on my way!"
She herself didn’t know what was wrong with her, but she couldn’t sit still after hearing that something had happened to Little Treasure.
She had only known him for a few days, but in her heart she already couldn’t let him go.
The Platinum Palace was pretty far away; taking a car would take approximately forty minutes. Worried that it would take too long, Ning Xi got her motorbike out of the garage and sped over.
What would have been forty minutes took just ten.
She assumed Lu Jingli would have notified the security guards, and after giving them her name, Ning Xi was let in directly. She rushed to Villa no.8, where a maid was already waiting for her.
