Chapter 190: Mr. Lu has become the Ninja Turtle?
Lu Yiran sat in the car, his eyes fixed on the school gate.
The school bell rang, and the children poured out like a tide, their laughter leaping in the air.
He pushed open the car door and stepped forward, but suddenly stopped when he saw the scene not far away.
The car keys in his hand dug deep into his palm, but he felt no pain.
He stared at the strange man holding Chenchen, his son's affectionate "Daddy" echoing in his ears, every syllable cutting his heart like a knife.
What hurt him even more was the unguarded smile on Chenchen's face. That kind of complete trust and dependence was something he, as his biological father, had never received.
From the time Lu Yiran knew about Chenchen's existence until now, he had never heard Chenchen call him daddy, but always called him uncle. He had never thought that one day he would hear Chenchen call someone else daddy. He stared at the man's profile, jealous to the point of madness.
Chenchen is obviously his son, but why does Chenchen call him daddy? Is Mu Nanyan with him?
Thinking of this, Lu Yiran's heart tightened. How could Mu Nanyan be with someone else? She was his. Lu Yiran's hands slowly tightened.
He wanted to rush up, snatch Chenchen back, and beat the man up!
But the next second, the memory was like cold water pouring down on me.
He suddenly thought of the disappointment Chenchen had given him that day in the Lu family's old house in Beijing, and how he had called Chenchen countless times afterwards, but each time he'd hung up...
All the anger suddenly died out, leaving only endless bitterness. He slowly loosened his grip and stood there, like a statue drained of all its strength. He didn't dare to move forward.
He was afraid of seeing resistance in Chenchen's eyes again, and afraid that the word "Daddy" would no longer belong to him.
Cui Hao held Chenchen's hand and walked out of the school gate, his eyes always fixed on the Maybach.
He thought Lu Yiran would rush over to grab the child, but he unexpectedly found that the other party just froze in place.
Cui Hao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Chenchen was already calling him "Daddy," and yet Lu Yiran could still tolerate it? Did he really not care about his son, or had Mr. Lu become a Ninja Turtle?
After returning to the apartment, Cui Hao played with Chenchen for a while.
The sky outside the window gradually darkened. He glanced at his watch.
"Let's go to the supermarket and buy some groceries to make you something delicious."
As Cui Hao and Chenchen were walking downstairs, he noticed the Maybach parked across the street. Did it follow them here? What was it planning?
Cui Hao calmly held Chenchen in his arms and walked towards the underground supermarket next door.
After Lu Yiran watched Cui Hao and Chenchen walk into the underground supermarket together, he put on a mask himself and then got out of the car and went to the underground supermarket.
This was the time to buy groceries and cook, so there was a lot of traffic in the supermarket. Lu Yiran was not worried about being discovered following behind two people.
But looking at the people coming and going, Lu Yiran frowned subconsciously. This was his first time in a supermarket. What he hated most was crowded places, which made him feel noisy.
Lu Yiran finally resisted the urge to go up, so he just followed behind and watched Chenchen and Cui Hao shopping in the supermarket.
"Daddy, I want to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs you made!"
Chenchen stood on tiptoe to reach the seasonings on the shelf. Cui Hao looked at him and said with a smile:
"Okay, but we need to buy some fresh ribs first."
Cui Hao said this and took Chenchen to the place to buy meat.
Looking at the two of them talking and laughing, Lu Yiran felt that he was such a scum. Why did he have to follow them and watch them act out the affectionate father and son scene?
If Cui Hao and Chenchen were really father and son, Lu Yiran might have laughed and teased them about their good relationship, but Chenchen was his son! He couldn't laugh at all now.
But after watching Cui Hao and Chenchen get along, he realized that this was the normal way for a father and son to get along. However, whether as a son or as a father, Lu Yiran had never had such an experience.
Perhaps Cui Hao is a qualified father. After all, he can get along well with Chenchen. Unlike him, the only way he can get along with Chenchen is by deceiving him, and in the end, he disappointed Chenchen...
Lu Yiran wondered if he was crazy. How could he have the idea of giving his son to someone else? He must not let this happen.
He watched Cui Hao patiently teach Chenchen how to identify ingredients, watched Chenchen excitedly throw snacks into the shopping cart, and finally got a set of Lego toys.
Those daily lives that he had never participated in were now playing before his eyes frame by frame like a silent movie.
"So... he likes Lego." Lu Yiran muttered to himself, suddenly realizing that he didn't even know his son's preferences.
This realization made his chest feel tight, and he stood there until Cui Hao paid the bill and left.
After Cui Hao and Chenchen finished their shopping, they checked out and left the supermarket.
After the two people left, Lu Yiran walked out from the shelf at the back. The old men and women next to him all looked at him with curiosity.
Because Lu Yiran hid after entering the supermarket and didn't buy anything, an enthusiastic aunt kept an eye on him, afraid that he was dressed like a decent person but was actually here to steal things.
"Young man, you've been wandering around here for quite some time. Are you going to buy anything or not?"
When Lu Yiran heard the voice, he looked and saw an old lady carrying a vegetable basket looking at him warily.
Lu Yiran said nothing and turned away expressionlessly.
After leaving the supermarket, Lu Yiran drove back to the apartment building and had no intention of leaving.
As the night deepened, Lu Yiran sat in the car, smoking while keeping an eye on the apartment entrance.
He was waiting, waiting for an answer. What was the relationship between Mu Nanyan and that man? Su Muyang was fine, but what about this "Daddy" who suddenly appeared?
He believed that Mu Nanyan would definitely show up because Chenchen was still here. Given how nervous Mu Nanyan was about Chenchen, she would definitely not leave Chenchen here alone.
The cigarette burned out and burned his fingers, but he was completely unaware.
They first met at the age of 25 and reunited at the age of 30. They were entangled for a full five years.
Now there is the unbreakable bond with Chenchen... This time, he will never let go.

Mu Nanyan stood in the empty room, watching the organizer seal the last few boxes.
The workers from the moving company moved quickly and efficiently, loading all of her and Chenchen's belongings into the car.
After saying goodbye to her grandparents, she sat in the driver's seat and was about to enter the navigation address when she remembered that she had not yet looked at the address of the new house.
She took out her phone and flipped to the chat interface with Zhou Ruxuan, only then did she realize that she had already sent her the address:
[Room 2301, 23rd Floor, Building 3, Yuehu Yundi]
"23rd floor..." She whispered the floor number and then laughed.
Cui Hao lives on the 25th floor of Building 3.
Fate always seems to like playing jokes. When they were in Country F, they were neighbors; now that they have returned to Haicheng, they have found themselves living in the same building again.
Mu Nanyan held the steering wheel, the corners of her lips unconsciously raised. Is this some kind of wonderful fate?
The car slowly drove out of the community, and the moving company's car followed behind her. The two cars drove towards Yuehu Yundi together.
