Chapter 37: Feng Ran, you don't need to take care of Yan Yan anymore.
"because……"
Lu Yanyan opened her mouth, then quickly remembered something and stammered out:
"For no reason..."
Lu Xiao was somewhat annoyed by his attitude, but he tried his best to control his temper:
“Yanyan, I know it’s normal for you to feel awkward because you haven’t seen your mother for so long, but you can’t keep avoiding her and resisting her.”
Lu Xiao reached out and tidied Yan Yan's hair: "You were still quite young when she left, so you might not remember clearly, but she really loved you. Do you remember what Dad told you? After you were born, you had a high fever once, and she watched over you for two days and two nights without blinking, until you were safe before she fainted."
"And the food you eat, the toys you play with, many of them were made by her herself. Back then, you liked to crawl around, and she would sit beside you watching and encouraging you, afraid that you would get hurt. No one in this world loves you more than her."
Lu Yanyan's eyes were slightly red, and her big eyes, just like Nan Jiao's, glistened with tears.
He vaguely remembered these things because orcs have a shorter growth period than humans and possess the ability to remember earlier.
Thinking of how good Nan Jiao had been to him, and how she had now given that kindness to another cub, he felt even more distressed.
"The past is the past, the present is the present."
Lu Xiao's expression darkened slightly, angered by Lu Yanyan's unyielding attitude.
"Tomorrow, you'll come with me to apologize, and you can't avoid her anymore."
"I don't want to!" Yan Yan blurted out.
"I'm not going, and you shouldn't go looking for her either!"
Lu Yanyan had long been brainwashed by what Feng Ran had said. He knew that his mother had a new and happy life, and that neither he nor his father should disturb her anymore.
At first, Yan Yan didn't understand what Feng Ran was saying until he found a word while looking up information on his personal computer: "burden".
It turns out that Yan Yan is a burden.
The probability of divorce in interstellar space is very low because males have almost no autonomy in marriage. Initiating a divorce comes at a considerable cost, and there is no chance to salvage the marriage if the female initiates the divorce. Interstellar law stipulates that once a female initiates a divorce, the divorce takes effect immediately, without a cooling-off period or the male's consent.
If females are not satisfied with their current mate, they will usually take on a few more that they like, rather than driving away their current one.
If a divorce occurs, it means that the family's relationship has broken down to the point of no return.
Knowing this, Yan Yan understood that he had been abandoned just like his father, and that this abandonment was irreversible.
Yan Yan doesn't blame his mother. He knows that his mother must have had her reasons and considerations for doing what she did. But whenever he gets close to his mother, he feels both happy and sad. Unfortunately, things have changed.
"Lu Yanyan, say it again."
Lu Yanyan's eyes were red-rimmed. He was only knee-high to Lu Xiao at that moment. His small, fair hands grabbed Lu Xiao's pants, and he shouted, "I'm not going! I said I'm not going, and I'm not going! You're not allowed to go either! You're not allowed to go to see her!"
The disappointment in Lu Xiao's eyes materialized. He grabbed Yan Yan by the ear, threw him into the room, and then locked the door.
"Lu Yanyan, you stay inside and reflect on your actions. You can come out when you've figured out who your mother really is."
Lu Yanyan has been born with superhuman strength since he was a child, and he pounded on the sturdy door until it made a loud banging noise.
"Butler, you are not allowed to give him any food or toys. You can only let him out when he admits his mistake."
The butler looked worried: "Young Master is still so young, what if he never admits his mistake?"
"Then keep it closed!"
"This... Young Master is your son, what if he gets hungry?" The butler was somewhat surprised. This was the first time Lu Xiao had punished Yan Yan so severely. Usually, Lu Xiao had reserved all his gentleness and care for this little one.
Lu Xiao's eyes seemed to be clouded with gloom: "If he can't even tell his own mother apart, then he doesn't need to acknowledge me as his father."
The butler didn't try to persuade her any further. He knew that Yan Yan had really angered the marshal this time, so he glanced at the door with a hint of worry.
Feng Ran came to pick up Yan Yan as usual to take her to her place, because Lu Xiao was going to work on the Third Star for a few days tomorrow.
She sensed something was amiss as soon as she arrived, and after asking the housekeeper, she learned what had happened: "Lu Xiao, how could you lock Yan Yan up? Every cub has its own thoughts. You can't force him to do things he doesn't like. That's too domineering."
"Shut up."
Feng Ran paused, mentally complaining to the system.
Lu Xiao looked at Feng Ran: "Thank you very much for taking care of Yan Yan in the past, but he will not be going to your place anymore."
"Huh? What happened? I quite like Yan Yan..."
Feng Ran frowned, feeling somewhat flustered.
According to the original novel, she had to start with Yan Yan to break down his defenses and make him fall in love with her step by step.
Now that the means of communication are gone, how can she continue? More importantly, how can she turn the tide of the story?!
"No reason, he'll stay home tomorrow, I'll have the driver take you home."
This is tantamount to an eviction notice.
After saying that, Lu Xiao went upstairs.
[Story Repair Progress -10]
Feng Ran was so angry she jumped up and down. Was it easy for her? She had painstakingly worked for three years to get even a tiny bit of progress in repairing the plot, and now this was almost all of it taken away!
Where exactly did things go wrong?
Could it be that Yan Yan betrayed her? Impossible. She knows that brat well; he's very loyal and smart. He wouldn't betray her.
After summoning the housekeeper, Feng Ran carefully reviewed the events to recount what had happened.
After listening, she fell into deep thought.
To be honest, she was quite unlucky; she never expected to fall into the trap she herself had set.
Lu Xiao felt that Lu Yanyan was too dependent on him, which is why he wanted to cut off their contact.

[Ding, 2,200,000 StarPass credits have been received.]
Upon hearing the message notification, Nan Jiao quickly opened her communicator; it was a transfer from Hua Wei.
They're transferring money really fast; the loan was disbursed right after the transaction ended.
I just sent red envelopes to my employees in the group chat when I suddenly heard a surprised voice from the doorway:
"Hey, aren't you... you left with Brother Lu? What are you doing here? Are you looking for your mother?"
Nan Jiao hurriedly went out and saw Xiao Chen pulling Yan Yan's ear. When he saw Nan Jiao, he quickly let go: "It's a misunderstanding, store manager. He was acting suspiciously at the door. I thought he was a thief, but when he came out, I found out he was just a little guy."
"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? I remember you could talk last time. Have you become mute?"
"You're the one who's mute." Lu Yanyan glared fiercely at Xiao Chen, but his round face didn't look particularly menacing.
If we had to describe its destructive power, it would probably be able to make people cute or dead.
