Chapter 66 - 66: I’m Very, Very Expensive!
Feng Tianlan couldn’t comprehend the reason behind his son’s sudden sigh. He sensed that his son’s behavior was somewhat out of the ordinary today, possibly due to their limited understanding of each other in their daily interactions.
If it weren’t for today’s shopping trip with his son, he wouldn’t have known that his son also thought of him and wanted to give him a gift. From now on, he would spend more time accompanying his son.
Feng Tianlan’s gaze softened as he looked at the little boy. ‘Then we are done for today. Next time, if you want to buy something, shall we have the shopkeeper deliver it to our doorstep?”
There would be a next time?
Gu Xiaonan, meeting Feng Tianlan’s gentle gaze, couldn ‘t help but mutter to himself, “Is this man crazy? I’ve swindled him out of so much money, and yet he’s even friendlier to me.’
Gu Xiaonan felt a twinge of guilt. Although he had given Feng Tianlan a gift, it was of little value compared to what he had received. He questioned if he had taken advantage of the man’s generosity.
Since Feng Tianlan seemed to desire having a son, Gu Xiaonan thought he could act as his son for a few days. After all, he was precious and expensive. He would charge one Xuanling Crystal Heart per day as payment.
As his mother’s priceless treasure, being someone’s son for a few days at the cost of one Xuanling Crystal Heart per day was considered quite cheap!
Seeing Gu Xiaonan nod, Feng Tianlan’s lips curved, signaling Jinfeng to dismiss the shopkeeper from the Purple Light Pavilion.
Gu Xiaonan glanced at Feng Tianlan, mentally preparing himself for a while before finally mustering a few words. “Dad, you’re really good.” Feng Tianlan’s eyes brightened slightly. “You finally called me dad. ‘
Was he really that happy to be called dad?
Gu Xiaonan blinked and thought about the silent agreement he had made. Since calling him dad made him happy, he could just call him dad a few more times. It wouldn’t cost him anything.
So, he hugged Feng Tianlan’s leg and kept shouting without pause, “Dad! You’re really good! Dad! You’re amazing! Dad! You’re the best!”
The repeated “dad” made Feng Tianlan ecstatic. His son was young and easily swayed, but as long as he could hold onto his affections, no one could deceive him !
Meanwhile, in the Jun Residence, Feng Yuanxi’s mood wasn’t as wonderful.
He had initially been happily exploring his mother’s bedroom, waiting for her to return.
However, after waiting for a long time, his mother still didn’t show up.
So, he had to grab Xiao Mei and go out to search for her.
Since the Gu family had been cleared out and there weren’t many people in the residence, Feng Yuanxi wandered through half of the estate but only encountered a few scattered servants who had no idea where Gu Qingluan was.
Feng Yuanxi had no choice but to continue his search.
He was tired from walking, so he sat on a stone and rested. He grabbed Xiao Mei from his shoulder and held her by her wings, asking, ‘Xiao Mei, where do you think Mother went?”
“I don’t know!” Xiao Mei struggled to escape from his grasp and landed on a nearby tree, tenderly grooming its feathers.
This child, who resembled her young master, was just like her young master, fond of grabbing her beautiful feathers!
At this rate, Xiao Mei would go bald!
“Young Master, are you looking for Miss?” A maid dressed in light green approached with a faint smile on her pretty face and a dimple on her right cheek, appearing cute and friendly.
Feng Yuanxi just noticed that she had been secretly following him.
Other than Mother, he didn’t care about anyone else, so he didn’t pay her any attention.
Upon hearing that she knew where Mother was, Feng Yuanxi’s eyes lit up. ‘Where is Mother?’
“Mother?” The maid was briefly taken aback, wondering to herself, Isn’t it a master-disciple relationship? Did I get it wrong?
Soon, she snapped out of it and revealed a gentle and sweet smile. ‘Miss left the residence not long ago. Someone came to see her, and it seems there was an issue that required her attention.”
Feng Yuanxi frowned. “Is Mother in danger?”
“I’m not sure about that, but I vaguely heard some fighting and injuries…” the maid replied vaguely.
Feng Yuanxi stood up abruptly. ‘Where is she? Take me there!”
The maid couldn’t contain her joy. “Of course, Young Master, please follow me.”
Feng Yuanxi looked up and asked Xiao Mei, “Do you want to come?”
Xiao Mei shookits head in refusal.
This child wasn’t her young master.
“Young Master, who are you talking to?’ The maid turned to him upon hearing him speak.
