Lan Guoer and Tang's mother were packing things to take back to Beijing.
Shocked by her call of "Dad", they all looked up at the same time and subconsciously looked out the window.
It was quiet outside the villa, and there was no trace of the man in their minds.
The Third Master followed Xiao Nuan's gaze and instantly understood what she meant.
He picked up one of the paper balls from the box and unfolded it. It was a gossip tabloid from Hong Kong City.
The front-page headline of the newspaper was a black-and-white photo, and judging by the scene, it should have been taken at a cocktail party.
The focus of the photo is a man's profile, which looks like it was carved by a knife and an axe. Although there is no color on his face, it still cannot hide his imposing and outstanding demeanor.
At this moment, he was a dignified gentleman, wearing a well-tailored expensive suit, holding a red wine glass slightly above his head, looking ahead with a smile.
The Third Master's eyes couldn't help but shrink, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
It was because he clearly saw that on the man's right arm was a delicate woman!
Although half of the woman's face was covered by the man, the cheongsam that was open to the thighs and the intimate actions between the two of them made him furious!
"Third uncle, this is dad, right?"
Xiao Nuan stretched out her little finger and pointed at the man in the newspaper, her eyes shining with joy.
"But why is Dad's photo in the box? And where is Dad? He looks so busy."
The little girl's focus was obviously not on the same thing as the Third Master. Suddenly, her eyes turned red as she watched, "Nuannuan hasn't seen daddy for a long time. Nuannuan misses daddy, woo woo~"
The little girl's crying brought the Third Master back from his angry thoughts. When he looked up, he saw Lan Guoer standing in front of him, her beautiful phoenix eyes staring at the newspaper in his hand without blinking.
He held Xiao Nuan in his arms and subconsciously wanted to hide the newspaper, but it was obviously too late.
Lan Guoer had already stretched out her hand towards him, her eyes calm and unremarkable.
"Guo'er, you...don't take it seriously! Those tabloid reporters in Hong Kong love to make up stories and fabricate stories just to get some publicity! They can make something out of nothing! They have absolutely no professional ethics! They just want the world to be in chaos all day long!
Besides, there are so many people who look alike in this world! I think this guy probably just looks a bit like that kid Tang Zhan, but it doesn't necessarily mean he is him! Didn't you also say he went on a mission? It's probably just a resemblance. "
Having said that, the Third Master had already made up his mind that when he was transiting in Hong Kong this time, he would go and verify the authenticity of the photo in person.
If that kid Tang Zhan dares to do anything to let down his little Guoer, he won't care who he is or what mission he has!
His little Guoer can't stand even a little bit of this injustice!
Lan Guoer's eyes swept over every part of the man's body, even his neatly trimmed nails.
Finally, it stopped at the small mole at the corner of his right eye, which was not captured clearly.
This is the place where she kissed countless times when she was in love.
Yes! She was absolutely certain that this man was her husband and the father of her children.
His eyes moved from left to right, towards the woman beside the man, and finally stopped at the place where their arms were connected.
Although she knew in her heart that this was probably just a casual act due to the needs of the mission, her inner possessiveness still made her feel suffocated and irritated!
"This...this bastard!"
At this time, Tang's mother also saw the photo in the newspaper clearly, and reached out to grab the newspaper in Lan Guoer's hand. She looked as if the photo in the newspaper was a real person, making her want to tear him into pieces immediately and then crush him to the ground and stomp on him a few times!
Lan Guoer subconsciously protected the newspaper behind her.
"Mom, Mom! Don't be impulsive! Have you forgotten that Fourth Brother went out on a mission this time? There must be some hidden secret! And I believe in him. He won't do anything to let me and the children down."
Although Lan Guoer felt very uncomfortable, she still managed to be patient and comforted Tang's mother who was so angry that she was jumping up and down.
And she also noticed the title above: The illegitimate son of the richest family, Zhou, makes a high-profile return, intending to merge perfectly with the shipping tycoon's family.
An illegitimate child? From the Zhou family?! This identity might just be enough to fool outsiders!
For those of them who were in the know, this was an obviously fabricated identity, so why couldn't they understand it?
"I don't care whether he has a mission or not, or whether he has secrets or not!"
Tang's mother was obviously irritated by the photo. She was panting heavily, her eyes filled with anger.
"Even if he has a big problem, he should remember that he has a wife and children! Look at how close he is to that little girl! As a mother, I can't bear to watch it!"
After venting his anger, he probably realized that his words had added fuel to the fire. Lan Guoer's wife was right next to him!
She quickly turned around to comfort her, "Guo'er, don't worry! I'll always be by your side! If that fourth kid dares to do anything to let you down, I'll be the first one to not forgive him!"
Lan Guo'er had no doubt about this! She had felt how good Tang's mother was to her since the first day she came here.
She put away the newspaper and helped Tang's mother sit down on the sofa, but she couldn't help thinking about that man.
It has been more than a month since we last met.
I didn't know where he was or what he was doing before, but I was happy and relaxed and didn't think too much about it.
Now when I see this newspaper, and see that familiar figure, outline, eyebrows... and the arms that once belonged to me, I can't help but feel a little sad.
Even if she came from that unfeeling later age, even if she could look down upon everything, she was still a woman after all! This era was different from the later ages, where there were countless ways to relieve one's emotions and desires.
Due to the limitations of the times, she could not be as free and easy as people in later generations. If a man made a mistake, she would just throw him away and find a better one!
The more she thought about it, the more depressed she felt.
At this moment, I heard the Third Master making a phone call and explaining his itinerary to the other party. He would first detour to Hong Kong City and then transfer to fly to Country M from Hong Kong City.
He also specifically told the other party that he would stay in Hong Kong for two more days.
Lan Guoer's mind was moved! She also wanted to go and see the Hong Kong City of this era.
