His slightly curly short hair had been styled into a cute doll style, with a few curled strands neatly attached to his fair and broad forehead. His eyes were dark and bright, and his thick, long eyelashes were very eye-catching. At first glance, he looked like a doll, or a little princess.
He was wearing a custom-made children’s suit and a red tie, looking handsome and stylish. Gu Yuan also noticed that there was a logo on the collar of his suit. Now she knew that it was the logo of the Huo family.
This was a rich young master who was brought up in a wealthy family. He had a soft and cute appearance and an extremely good-looking face.
It was such a cute little boy, and Gu Yuan had been fooled by him twice.
Now, he was crying again, his crystal clear tears rolling on his thick long eyelashes, his little white teeth were biting his little pink lips, his cheeks were slightly puffed up, and he was obviously very sad but he was trying hard not to cry.
Anyone who saw such a child would be moved.
Gu Yuan took a deep breath and told herself that he was pretending, he was very good at acting, maybe in the next second, he would burst into laughter, stick out his tongue and tell her that she was so stupid, he was just teasing her.
“There are a lot of people at the venue, and they are quite diverse. Although you are very smart, you are still young. Don’t run around. Even if you are smart, if you are really snatched away by human traffickers, your crying will be in vain.”
After all, the other party was just a four-year-old child. Gu Yuan didn’t want to argue with the child, nor did she want to see a child disappear inexplicably and cause a tragedy. She still reminded him: “Where are your family members?”
Huo Lanting held back his tears and turned his face away: “What does it have to do with you!”
Although he said that, there was a faint blush on his milky white cheeks.
Gu Yuan was speechless after hearing his tone: “I am an adult and don’t want to fight with a child like you. Since you think I am meddling in your business, well, I am too lazy to bother with you!”
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.
As expected, a naughty child is a naughty child. Never think about or worry about him. Even if human traffickers kidnap him, I believe he can anger the traffickers to death.
When Huo Lanting saw her leaving, the tears in his eyes immediately fell, but he gritted his teeth, raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and then said loudly: “Humph, you really don’t want to pay attention to me, I know it!”
Gu Yuan: “…Yes, of course I don’t want to care about you!”
Huo Lanting was completely desperate after hearing these words.
He was still young, and he didn’t know whether it was because Gu Yuan had never intended to forgive him, or because he hadn’t properly apologized to her, or because he hadn’t taken the Crown Star so he couldn’t make her happy.
He only knew that Gu Yuan ignored him when she saw him. She would never coax him like she did to Nie Yu, nor would she hug him tenderly.
As for sleeping with her, that was just a dream.
Huo Lanting couldn’t even cry now.
Gu Yuan had already walked to the end of the corridor. She had made up her mind not to pay any more attention to this naughty child. After all, he was a rich young boy. Maybe a group of people would come up to him soon, and then he would put his hands behind his back and walk with his legs spread wide, looking at everyone mockingly.
However, perhaps subconsciously, or perhaps because she was too socially responsible, when she reached the end of the corridor, she turned around and glanced at the child.
The dimly lit corridor was very long. At the end of the corridor, next to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, there stood a small figure.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was the brightly lit sky above Cloud City, where there were colourful light shows on skyscrapers and drones soaring in the night sky. The hustle and bustle of this city was right outside the window, within reach.
Inside the glass window, the little boy’s lonely figure looked thin and depressed. He stood there with tears on his cheeks, and his clear eyes reflected the despair of being abandoned.
This was the venue for the BRAZILLA CHARITY GALA. The crazy screams were just across the wall, but there was no one and no sound in this corridor.
It was as if, this little boy, had been abandoned by this world.
Gu Yuan was silent for a long time before she sighed softly.
She walked back.
She told herself that she was a fool, and told herself that she just had such a strong sense of morality that she couldn’t bear to see such a young child alone.
She even told herself that this was a party hosted by her son, and that guests were guests and nothing could go wrong.
She walked up to the little boy and said sternly, “My little friend, what do you want? If this is another joke of yours to slap me in the face, then just laugh at me, and tell me that I am a fool. If not, please tell me the contact information of your family members, or tell me where your family members are.”
Huo Lanting raised his little face, which still had a few remaining tears on it, and looked at her eagerly.
Gu Yuan couldn’t bear to see that look, was it proud, eager, or sad?
Gu Yuan couldn’t stand it, she was about to speak, but at this moment, Huo Lanting suddenly said: “I’m sorry.”
Gu Yuan: “?”
Huo Lanting lowered his head, his tone muffled, with a strong sense of loss: “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to lie to you before. Because before on the ship, I wanted to play with you, but you didn’t seem to want to pay attention to me, so I went to your island to find you and play with you.”
As for why he deliberately lied to her and teased her after finding her, Huo Lanting couldn’t explain it. Maybe when he found her, he was a little unhappy to see that she had two such big sons?
Gu Yuan: “Oh…”
Huo Lanting clenched his fists tightly: “I am a responsible man. Since I have done something wrong, I apologize. If you don’t believe me, forget it. Since you don’t want to play with me, then I won’t play with you either. I’m leaving!”
After saying that, Huo Lanting took small steps and was about to leave.
Gu Yuan: “Eh…well, I accept your apology.”
Huo Lanting stopped and looked at Gu Yuan with his eyes.
Gu Yuan: “Where are your family members? I’ll go with you to find them.”
Huo Lanting looked around carefully, and at this moment he suddenly hoped that Butler Duan Mu would never show up in his life.
But at this moment, the unwelcome butler Duan Mu appeared with his bodyguards.
“Young Master, you are here.” Butler Duan Mu smiled with relief and a gentle look on his face, and then he said as if he had just seen Gu Yuan: “Who is this lady?”
Gu Yuan was relieved when she saw this group of people appear. The clothes of these people all had logos, the same as the one on Huo Lanting’s suit. They should all be from the Huo family. And for some reason, she felt that this housekeeper exuded the same temperament as Butler Zhuge and Butler Sima.
“You are from the Huo family, right?”
“Yes, miss, I am the butler of the Huo family, and my surname is Duan Mu.” Butler Duan Mu said with a respectful smile.
Butler Duan Mu!
Sure enough, he was from the same school as Butler Zhuge and Butler Sima…
“Hello, my last name is Gu. This is what I saw just now. Your young master was standing here alone. No matter how smart he is, he is still a child. There are reporters, fans and spectators here. If such a child gets lost, there is no place to find him. You should pay attention to him.”
“Yes, yes, thank you Miss Gu for your kindness. I understand.”
“I’m leaving.”
Having said that, Gu Yuan planned to leave and go find her son.
Who knew that she had just taken two steps when Huo Lanting suddenly said, “Don’t go, we need to talk it out.”
Gu Yuan sighed: “My little friend, you apologized to me and I accepted it. We are even now. Why can’t I leave?”
Huo Lanting looked at her seriously with his dark eyes: “Do you really accept my apology?”
Gu Yuan: “Do I look like the kind of person who lies to others?”
Huo Lanting blinked his eyes and thought about it. It made sense that she was not like that, but he was.
He felt a little ashamed, but still tried to act confidently. “In that case, why don’t you play with me?”
Gu Yuan: “…Oh, you want to play with me?”
Huo Lanting’s face flushed, he bit his lower lip and muttered softly: “I don’t miss it very much…, just a little bit.”
Gu Yuan looked at his awkward look and suddenly wanted to laugh: “Since you only want to do it a little bit, I’ll take care of my own business first. When you really want to play with me, I’ll think about it again.”
After saying that, she turned and left.
Huo Lanting looked at Gu Yuan’s departing back and began to feel conflicted. Should he tell her quickly that he really wanted her to play with him?
But as a man, should he change his mind now after just saying something?
But she just left like that…
Huo Lanting hesitated for a long time, until even the Butler Duan Mu beside him was sweating for him. He finally made up his mind and ran over with his legs.
Since he had set his eyes on her, he must let her coax him like she coaxed Nie Yu!
Who knew that when he turned around the corridor and chased after her breathlessly, he happened to see Nie Yu coming over as well.
Nie Yu was talking to Gu Yuan.
Nie Yu said excitedly: “Mom, guess who took the crown star?”
Gu Yuan: “I don’t know.”
But she was thinking, what kind of playboy was this, spending so much money to buy a blue diamond. Weren’t blue diamonds composed of carbon C and boron? She learned about this in high school chemistry!
Nie Yu: “Mom, it’s me! I took it!”
Gu Yuan was shocked: “It’s you? You spent more than 400 million to buy this necklace?”
Nie Yu: “Yes, I plan to take it and give it to you. I think that blue diamond necklace goes well with mom. Mom will look beautiful wearing it.”
Gu Yuan was really stunned.
Give it to her? He wants to hang more than 400 million around her neck?
——Suddenly she felt her neck was itchy.
Huo Lanting, who was not far away and was panting, was completely desperate when he heard this.
It turned out that it was Nie Yu who bought the Crown Star. Did Nie Yu buy it to give it to her?
The person who defeated him and snatched the crown star to make her happy was her son?
Little Huo Lanting didn’t know what he felt.
If, if he could have a lot of pocket money…
