Chapter 16 Going Back with Uncle

Garland debated for a long time whether to return Ming Nuo to Ming Jue. Finally, he sighed, "Then I'd better return him. I can't stop other people's families from reuniting. That's so immoral."

Garland stood up and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving. I apologize for what happened to your hair and I'll bring you some hair growth lotion later."

Zelphis: "...No need."

Watching Garland's departing figure, Zelphis suddenly thought of Mingnuo and asked aloud, "That child... does he really look like Lorian?"

"If Lorian can grow up safely, he should look exactly like that child." Garlan stopped, turned to look at the young emperor, smiled, and extended an invitation, "Your Majesty, would you like to go to my house to take a look at the child?"

Zelphis looked at the smiling lamb stuffed animal on his desk. Through it, he seemed to see little Lorian holding the lamb, sweetly calling "brother", stumbling and running towards him eagerly, even though he couldn't walk steadily.

Zelphis calmly refused: "No."

There is no one who can replace Lorien.

After school at four o'clock in the afternoon, Mingnuo said goodbye to Lin Yu and Field, and got on the hovercraft with Sedwick. All the snacks in the cross-body bag had been eaten. Mingnuo held the bag with a smile on his face.

This day's school life was pretty good for him, not as bad as he had imagined. At least the lunch was pretty good.

Sedwick looked down at the AI ​​and asked casually, "Do you like Field very much?"

Ming Nuo was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Field is fine."

Sedwick said "Oh" with a normal expression, stopped talking, and turned his head to look out the window. It happened to be the time when everyone was off work. The streets were crowded with people, and various types of hovercrafts were flying over the city.

Mingnuo was very considerate. He leaned over to Sedwick's face and looked at him. "Are you jealous? Because Field and I get along so well?"

Sedwick said indifferently: "I'm jealous? You must have taken the wrong medicine."

"Don't be so stubborn. I know you're jealous." Ming Nuo thought seriously, "Are you jealous of me or of Field?"

Sedwick didn't answer, so Mingnuo continued to reason, "You and Field are childhood friends, so you don't like him playing with me? It's okay, I can go find Lin Yu to play with you and won't disturb you."

Sedwick: "..."

It's getting more and more outrageous.

Sedwick had to clarify: "I had a casual relationship with him."

"Didn't you grow up together and wear the same pants as childhood friends?"

"What law says childhood friends have to be close?" Sedwick asked. "Besides, I never share the same pants with others. It's dirty."

After all, in Mingnuo's opinion, Sedwick only conveyed one point. Whenever he thought of this unrealistic speculation, a smile would appear on the corner of his mouth. "So, do you think of me as a good friend? A better friend than Field?"

Mingnuo thought that according to Sedwick's temper, he would definitely sneer at this and say that he was daydreaming.

But the amazing thing was that Sedwick just stared at him for a few seconds with an inexplicable look in his eyes. Not only did he not refute, but he also said "hmm".

"Huh?!" Ming Nuo looked at him in shock. "Are you kidding me?"

Sedwick's ears flushed slightly, but he remained calm. Although he looked down at the intelligent computer, his eyes did not fall on it. "If you don't believe me, forget it. I have no objection to you continuing to be my servant."

Mingnuo had always thought that Sedwick was a quirky, sharp-tongued, and ill-tempered young master, but when he thought about it, he felt that he was quite caring towards him.

Ming Nuo asked cautiously, "If I become your good friend, will you still pay me my salary?"

He has no relatives to rely on now, and he can only rely on himself to buy a house and settle down in the future, so he cannot lose his only source of income.

Sedwick was probably speechless. He was silent for a long time before he said, "...Here."

Mingnuo breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Sedwick would say something cruel like paying him with friendship. Fortunately, he still had some sense.

Mingnuo slowly moved to Sedwick's side and poked his shoulder hesitantly. "Since we are good friends now, can I ask you a favor?"

Sedwick was much more talkative now. "Speak."

"Can we stop at the mall in front? I want to buy a cup of milk tea."

The hovercar is self-driving and only Sedwick has authority.

"No." Sedwick refused directly, "You've already had a full-sugar drink today. Your sugar intake has exceeded the limit. You can't drink any more."

Ming Nuo moved back to his original position and nodded dejectedly: "Okay."

Sedwick thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back on Saturday and buy it for you then."

Ming Nuo's eyes lit up, "Yeah! You're so nice."

He thought quickly in his mind, today is Thursday, he will be able to drink a cup of milk tea again the day after tomorrow, just thinking about it makes him happy~

The hovercraft stopped in the big garden. Mingnuo got out of the car and took cheerful steps to pull Sedwick back home.

After seeing Elson, he gave Elson a big hug and said, "I'm back."

Elson smiled and touched his head, "How is school life?"

"Very good, I made a new friend." Mingnuo came out of Elson's arms, and suddenly caught a glimpse of someone standing behind him. When he looked closely, it was Sedwick's brother Garland.

Garland pulled the dazed Mingnuo into his arms and hugged him familiarly, "Why don't you hug me? Don't treat children differently."

Garland smelled so good that Mingnuo couldn't help but blush. He lowered his head uncomfortably and hugged Garland, "I, I don't treat you differently."

Garland smiled and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I just want to ask you, do you want to go back to the Saichuan Empire with your uncle, or do you want to stay in our house and go to school with Sedwick?"

Mingnuo and Sedwick were both stunned.

Sedwick's face darkened instantly. "What do you mean?"

Garland shrugged, "I'm sorry my dear brother, but your little friend's uncle is looking for him to go home. Of course, it's his choice to leave or stay."

"My uncle wants me to go home," Ming Nuo repeated in disbelief, "But, but my uncle doesn't want me anymore, does he?"

Garland couldn't bear to see the child's sad expression, so he comforted him, "That's because you found the wrong person. Your uncle is the Grand Duke Ming of the Saichuan Empire. The one you found is the unemployed version of Ming Jue. They are not the same person at all."

When Ming Nuo heard this, his mind went blank and his voice trembled slightly, "So, my uncle didn't abandon me?"

Although he really didn't want to say anything good for Ming Jue, Garland pinched his nose and nodded in agreement, "He's been looking for you."

Uncle didn't abandon him, he was still looking for him... Ming Nuo felt sad and couldn't help but redden his eyes, "But I can't contact uncle now."

Garland: "Use my smart brain. I have his contact information."

A few minutes later, Garland contacted Ming Jue.

Ming Nuo saw the face on the virtual screen that looked 70% like Ming Chuan's father. Tears immediately rolled down his cheeks, and he choked out, "Uncle."

Ming Jue stared at the child and said in a difficult tone, "Sorry, uncle is late."

Mingnuo took the tissue that Sedwick handed him and wiped away his tears, tormented by guilt. "I shouldn't have gone out. I should have listened to Dad and stayed home waiting for you to pick me up. Otherwise, otherwise I wouldn't have lost the lamb buns Dad made for me. Uncle, uncle, I'm sorry..."

Ming Jue looked at Ming Nuo sobbing and finally understood why Ming Chuan was so worried about his child.

Too soft-natured and too sensible.

If a little sheep with this kind of personality were to meet an unscrupulous breeder or dealer, it would be skinned and boned, and even its wool would be sold by the pound.

Mingjue lowered his voice to comfort him, turned his head and gave a few instructions, then picked up a pure white lamb croissant bag, "Your lamb croissant bag is not lost. Saen found it, and it's with me now. Don't be afraid, I'll pick you up tomorrow."

The broken strap of the lamb bag was also properly sewn up, and Mingnuo looked at his lost and recovered lamb bag with care.

But leaving tomorrow?

Mingnuo was a little conflicted and reluctant. He knew that it was the best choice for him to leave the Perseus Empire before his brother discovered his existence, but he subconsciously glanced at Sedwick.

He had already made an appointment with Sedwick to have milk tea the day after tomorrow. Was he going to break the appointment on the first occasion?

Ever since Mingnuo contacted his uncle, Sedwick sat silently on the sofa, with his eyes lowered, and a strong sense of depression enveloped him.

He obviously picked it up.

Why are all of them coming to grab it now?

Sedwick was extremely depressed, but his gloomy face suddenly brightened when he heard that Mingnuo had agreed with his uncle to leave next Wednesday and he was going to say goodbye to his good friends.

It seems that this white-haired ball is not so heartless.

Ming Jue transferred a large sum of money to Ming Nuo's smart computer, "If it's not enough, tell me."

Ming Nuo fiddled with the smart computer for a while before he found the account where the money was. He looked at the string of zeros in the account balance, his eyes widening. "I, I can't use so much."

Ming Jue: "It's okay, just use it as you like."

It looked like his uncle was really rich. Ming Nuo looked at the money but couldn't feel happy. He was silent for a moment, then raised his azure eyes to look at Ming Jue, "Uncle, did Dad have a conflict with you? Did you have a fight?"

Facing Ming Nuo's question, Ming Jue's throat was dry, "Why do you ask that?"

Because before this, Mingchuan's father had never mentioned the existence of his uncle to him. Mingnuo was smart and he knew that his father would eventually entrust him to his uncle because he was worried about him and had no other choice.

If uncle had a good relationship with dad, Mingnuo would not have known about uncle's existence until the last moment of Mingchuan's dad's life.

Ming Nuo didn't say this out loud. His father had passed away, and he was afraid that these words would make his uncle sad. He just whispered, "I just wanted to ask."

Ming Jue looked at the little guy's face and said, "Well, there was something unpleasant before."

I wanted to apologize, but I didn't have the chance.

When talking about Mingchuan, both of them became depressed. Mingjue gave Mingnuo some instructions, and Mingnuo said goodbye to him, and the communication came to an end.

Mingnuo turned around and saw Sedwick and Garland sitting on the sofa behind him looking at him. The two brothers looked very pleasant to watch sitting together, but the younger brother had visibly unhappy looks on his face.

Garland held an apple in his hand and smiled at Ming Nuo, "Come, have an apple."

The apple flew in a parabola and landed in Mingnuo's arms. Mingnuo took a bite of the apple and found it very sweet and crisp. Garland winked at him and shifted his gaze towards Sedwick.

Mingnuo walked up to Sedwick, picked up a knife, cut the apple in half, and handed him half: "Do you want it? Here you go."

Sedwick took the apple and ate it in two bites with an expressionless face.

Ming Nuo waited until he finished eating before slowly speaking, "I agreed with my uncle that I won't leave until next Wednesday. Can we still go for milk tea together the day after tomorrow?"

Sedwick pretended to be reserved: "As you wish."

Ming Nuo's eyebrows curved, "Then I'll call Fei Er and Lin Yu as well. I'll treat you to milk tea. I'm not a pauper anymore."

Sedwick suddenly grabbed his wrist, and under Mingnuo's puzzled gaze, the two intelligent computers touched each other lightly and separated at the touch.

566 enthusiastically reported, "Ten thousand yuan has arrived in your account!"

Ming Nuo: “……?”

Sedwick: "Your salary this month."

Ming Nuo was stunned: "Didn't you say it would be halved?"

Sedwick: "Give it back to me if you think it's too much."

Of course, Ming Nuo would never think that he had too much money. He happily hugged Sedwick and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you for taking care of me all this time."

This time Sedwick didn't refuse the hug.
