“I have no idea. She was scared into a faint by the CEO.”

Scared into a faint by Daddy Iceberg? The poor thing.

It was a fact that any woman who laid eyes on the old man would immediately throw themselves at him. Since he had managed to scare this one into a faint, she could very well be his soulmate!

With that thought, Lu Xingguang skipped along behind Secretary Han. His bright eyes focused continually on Yan Susu as he asked, “What’s her name? Does she have a boyfriend? Would she mind getting involved in an older woman/younger man relationship…?”

Feeling sad for him, Secretary Han advised, “Young Master, the age difference is too great. You should target one of your schoolmates.”

The CEO never indulged in relationships with women, so where had the young master gotten this trait?

Lu Xingguang pursed his lips and said, “They are too childish, and I don’t like that. Since this pretty lady was not mesmerized by Lu Zhanxiu, she must be my destiny.”

Secretary Han: “…”

Imagine, a child of six, criticizing his peers for being childish. Also, what did he know about his destiny?

“That will do, Uncle Han. I’m here, so you should leave quickly. Stop getting in the way of my bonding session with my future wife.”

Secretary Han thought, “…Is he really just six years old?”

With much cajoling and nudging, Lu Xingguang eventually sent the irritating third wheel away. Then, cupping his face in his hands, he sat by the bedside and watched the woman’s flushed face.

Letting out a soft hum, Yan Susu opened her eyes and was stunned to see a pair of bright eyes looking straight into her own.

Seeing that she was awake, Lu Xingguang smiled, showing off a pair of sweet dimples. “Pretty wife, are you awake?”

For some unknown reason, Yan Susu felt an affinity towards this child, liking him instantly. She could not help smiling as she asked gently, “Whose child are you?”

Lu Xingguang blinked and, jumping immediately off the stool, took a gentlemanly bow. He announced, “Hello, my pretty wife, I am your future husband, and my name is Lu Xingguang. Although I am still young, do not worry because I am very talented and will definitely be able to provide for you.

“If I am not able to provide for you, I will ask my father for money. If my father refuses to give me money, I still have my grandparents to turn to. In any case, the bottom line is that I will be able to provide for you.”

For six years, Yan Susu had not had a good, sincere laugh, but at that moment, she could not help laughing heartily. This beautiful and cherubic boy was so very adorable.

“Thank you, but I am already engaged to be married, so I cannot be your wife.”

Even if Ling Xiusi no longer wanted her…

Hearing that his pre-destined soulmate was already engaged to be married, Lu Xingguang’s beautiful face puckered up, only to be quickly straightened again.

“No problem. As long as I keep chipping away at it with a good strategy, I am sure that I will succeed. I will go home and get help from my father, grandfather, grandmother, and uncle to continue with the chipping.”

Laughing softly, Yan Susu reached out and gently ruffled Lu Xingguang’s soft hair. “Thank you. It has been a long time since I have felt wanted.”

There had been a time when Ling Xiusi had regarded her as the most precious treasure on earth, willing to protect her from any harm. He could barely wait for her to graduate from college before making her his wife…

A cloud of sadness filled her eyes.

Blinking, Lu Xingguang gazed at her with some uncertainty, asking, “Pretty wife, are you upset?”

“No.” Yan Susu quickly composed herself, adding, “Why are you on your own? Where are your parents?”

“I don’t have a mother. My father is a real meanie, always scolding me and not allowing me to do anything…” With those words, his big eyes welled up, and he looked pitiful.

Having lost her mother at a tender age and been neglected by her father, a stepmom who favored her own daughter, a scheming stepsister, and a grandmother who favored boys, Yan Susu had grown up living precariously in the shadows. Her heart melted as she saw another version of herself in this little boy.

Unable to stop herself, her eyes took on a gentle glow as she ran her fingers through Lu Xingguang’s soft hair.

“You should grow up quickly and become strong. That way, no one can bully you ever again.”
