The Luodaning family invited many powerful families from different forces to attend the banquet, but the most anticipated one must be the Merovingian family, the top family of the Chamber of Commerce.
Many of the families came to the banquet specially after hearing that someone from the Merovingian family would be coming.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the sky was already dark, and the lights along the road of the venue were turned on, shining like stars falling in this glamorous city.
Shi Nian sat in the back seat of the hover car, the gorgeous night view outside the window reflected in his pure black eyes. He accidentally noticed that there were several cars following him, and his safety alarm sounded instantly.
Shi Nian quickly turned around to tell Shi Yichu and Morpheus, her face full of solemnity as she held up three fingers, "Uncle, uncle-in-law, there are three cars outside, following us."
Morpheus glanced back and rubbed his little head. "It's okay, it's the bodyguard following us."
Shi Nian was puzzled. "But when my father, my father and I went out, we didn't have any bodyguards."
Shi Yichu: "That's because Lao Yu alone is enough to protect all of you. There's no need for extra bodyguards."
Although Shi Yichui didn't want to admit it, with Yu Luhan around, bodyguards were really useless.
Shi Nian also thought that his father was very capable. He had always been a fan of Yu Luhan, and now he admired him even more.
Near the venue, all kinds of expensive private hovercrafts are everywhere. People in suits or exquisite gowns come out with smiles on their faces, holding invitations in their hands, and enter the venue led by waiters.
When the Merovingian family's car appeared, everyone around stopped at the same time.
They didn't dare to look openly, but just secretly cast their eyes on the two adults and the child, looking at them as if they were a few walking vaults, whispering to each other.
"The Merovingian Patriarch actually came. This trip was worth it."
"I heard his Omega is from Apsu, and his status is not low. Does that mean Apsu has joined forces with the Chamber of Commerce?"
"I don't think so. Apsu and the Chamber of Commerce have always been neutral. They're not forces that are fighting each other to the death. I heard that their marriage wasn't arranged, but based on free love."
"Both love and career are going smoothly. I'm really envious of these twins."
"Twins? But I clearly remember there was only one child. An only child, right?"
"It seems your source of information isn't entirely accurate. These twins are clearly their children."
“…”
Shi Nian followed Shi Yichu and the others out of the car. Looking at the densely packed crowd, her social anxiety kicked in again. She followed Shi Yichu closely, looking at the people around her anxiously.
Shi Yichu noticed his nervousness, held his hand lovingly, and leaned over to soothe him in the ear, "It's okay, just follow us."
Shi Nian took a deep breath and held Shi Yichu's hand tightly with his backhand. The same Ningxinyu pheromones on the other person made him feel extremely at ease.
He nodded his head to show that he was no longer afraid.
Nobi dodged Shi Yichu's hand and ran to Shi Nian's side. She pressed her face close to Shi Nian and stared at her intently with her sapphire eyes. "Why are you scared, Brot? Are you afraid of strangers? It's okay. I'm not afraid of strangers. You can come with me. I'm not a stranger."
Nobby is like a poop scooper who says to a cute kitten, "I love you the most in the world," in an attempt to make the cute kitten stick to him only.
Shi Nian felt inexplicably embarrassed. She straightened her back and secretly stood on tiptoe. She didn't smile with satisfaction until Nuobi was a whole head taller than her.
Shi Nian stroked Nuobi's blond hair like a brother, but his voice was still soft. "I'm your brother, Nuobi, you can't say I'm shy. Brothers are not shy."
Shi Nian's standards for his brother came from Yu Chen. In his eyes, his brother was a big boy who could do everything and was as reliable as his father.
Shy of strangers? That doesn't exist.
Nobi listened to him speak so seriously that he really thought it was a side effect of being his brother. After hesitating for a few seconds, he chose to believe Shi Nian and said in an admiring tone, "Is that so? Ah, then Brot is amazing."
Shi Nian felt guilty after being praised by her. She glanced at the hand that was tightly held by the elder man, then slowly loosened it. Under the latter's surprised gaze, she mustered up the courage to stand alone. "It's okay, little uncle. I'm not afraid."
Shi Yichu glanced between the two children, nodded, and walked ahead with Morpheus. Out of the corner of his eye, he kept an eye on Shi Nian and Nuobi, who were following closely behind. He whispered to Morpheus, "It seems Nuobi has a greater influence on Nian Nian."
Morpheus lowered his head slightly as he spoke to him, "Their personalities are very different. They will definitely influence each other. Let's wait a while."
Shi Yichu chuckled and looked at him jokingly, "I'm definitely not in a hurry. After all, it's not me that Nobi hates."
Morpheus: “…”
From this perspective, it seems that he is the one who should be anxious.
Shi Nian had grown a lot bolder after his speech at the league, at least he wouldn't show his fear easily. In fact, he was afraid of the hidden dangers among the crowd of strangers.
Seeing several Alphas with strong mental powers following him, Shi Nian grabbed the corner of Morpheus's clothes, pointed at the Alpha closest to him, and asked with a raised face, "Uncle-in-law, are those our bodyguards?"
Morpheus was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction of his finger and stared at the bodyguard Alpha for a few seconds.
Bodyguard Alpha immediately suppressed his panic and walked to another place. His colleague was quite surprised to see him coming over and whispered a reminder, "This is my area of work, yours is over there."
Alpha said succinctly, "I'm exposed. Let's change the location."
"How is that possible?" The colleague immediately looked around cautiously, "Doesn't your mental power have the ability to hide? Who could discover you?"
"The young master following behind the master." Alpha glanced at Shi Nian secretly with a distressed expression, "I feel like I'm going to be unemployed."
They were operating under the banner of secret protection, but were easily discovered by a child, and were even seen by the head of the family. Alpha felt that they were about to be fired.
"Oh, why did he leave?" Shi Nian tilted his head in confusion. How could he protect them if he left?
Morpheus was embarrassed for a moment that the people he had hired at such a high price were found so easily by Shi Nian. He then said calmly, "It's okay. They're nearby. They won't go far."
Shi Nian glanced around and found all the bodyguards hiding in the crowd. After confirming that there were quite a few of them, the sense of crisis in his heart was much lessened.
At the same time, he put his hands in his pockets and touched the little heads of Coles and Daniel.
Kelais happily stretched out his two paws to hold Shi Nian's hand and rubbed his fingers. Shi Nian couldn't help but smile and gently touched Kelais's little cat ears.
Every bodyguard who made eye contact with Shi Nian was startled and quickly moved away. The originally planned layout was disrupted by Shi Nian alone.
Shi Nian didn't know that his gaze had such a great impact on others. He felt confident and was no longer afraid.
But as he walked into the venue and more and more people gathered around him, his delicate little face became stern, his eyebrows twisted into a small pimple, and his pink lips were pressed into a straight line. He looked like a little boy with a very bad temper.
It's a pity that it has no deterrent effect, and it just makes people want to poke his bulging cheeks.
Nobby stared at his face intently, and couldn't help but throw himself on Shi Nian's shoulder, rubbing his face with his own, and said in a joyful voice, "Brot's face is soft, Nobby likes it!"
Shi Nian was nearly knocked down by the attack and quickly stopped to steady himself. Seeing that more and more eyes were focused on him, his cheeks turned red.
Shi Nian turned her head and pressed Nuobi's shoulder, "Be good and listen to your brother."
Nobi has always been disobedient. Even if Shi Yichu said something, she would only listen to half of it and disobey the other half.
But she had only had a brother for a short time and was unfamiliar with this relationship, so she had no choice but to run to Shi Yichu and ask him, "Ani, do I have to listen to Brot?"
Shi Yichu looked at Shi Nian in surprise, suppressed the joy that surged in his heart, and told Nuobi, "Yes, Nuobi will listen to you, Brot."
Nobby nodded, "Wei (Okay), listen to Brot."
Seeing that Nobby was walking side by side with Shi Nian obediently this time, Shi Yichu was secretly delighted. He pulled Morpheus's arm and gestured for him to look at the two little guys. "Sure enough, there is always a conqueror."
Shi Nian was walking along fine when he suddenly saw Morpheus and Shi Yichu looking at him at the same time. Both of them gave him a thumbs up. The little Omega was completely confused.
At the entrance of the venue, the waiter recognized Morpheus's identity at a glance, said a few words to the people around him, and then stepped forward respectfully, "Master, please follow me."
During the few seconds that Shi Nian paused at the door, he saw Bai Zemo coming. Just as he was about to say hello to him, Nuobi pulled him into the venue from another way.
There were not many people on this road. Shi Nian walked in the magnificent corridor, looking at the huge diamond chandelier vaguely visible at the end, and melodious music echoed in her ears.
Several elders of the Luodaning family were waiting here. When they saw them coming, they immediately smiled and walked over, bowing and greeting, "Master of the family."
Morpheus nodded slightly, his expression distant. Holding a child in each hand, he stated his purpose directly, "I brought my child here to pick out two pieces of clothing."
Elder Luo Daning repeatedly said yes, looked at Shi Nian and Nuobi, and the oldest elder smiled and said, "What a cute pair of twins, much better looking than those child actors we hired."
The people around him changed their expressions and quickly nudged him with their elbows, apologizing to Morphis and Shi Yichu, "Master, I'm truly sorry. Our old man is old and didn't mean to offend the young master or young lady."
How could the heir of the Merovingian family be compared to those child stars? The others in Luodanin frowned at the old man, blaming him for such irresponsible words.
Shi Nian was stunned when she heard this. Perhaps she was thinking of Elder Zhong, and subconsciously spoke up for the elder. "Grandpa was just praising my good looks. It's not offensive."
The Luo Daning family looked at him, their expressions blank for a few seconds, and then smiled in a somewhat flattering way, "As long as the young master doesn't blame me."
Shi Nian pursed his lips, looked at the group of people with his dark eyes, and thought in confusion, he was obviously not angry, why were these uncles and aunts talking so strangely?
Shi Yichu looked impatient. He pulled Shi Nian and Nuobi and said to Morpheus, "I'll take the kids for a walk."
Shi Yichu knew that Shi Nian probably wouldn't like this kind of occasion, because he himself was the same. The implicit sense of hierarchy in the Chamber of Commerce was similar to that in the royal family, and equally annoying.
Nobby, contrary to his usual behavior, ran to Morpheus and took his hand under his father's flattered gaze, "I will follow Vati (father)."
She looked at the Luo Daning family as if they were looking at some interesting toys, turned her head and waved to Shi Nian, "Brot, I'll come find you later."
Shi Nian couldn't wait to leave, "Okay."
The four of them split up like this. Shi Nian followed Shi Yichu to the observation deck on the second floor, leaning on the railing to look down. Everyone was dressed exquisitely, both adults and children.
But after observing for a while, Shi Nian found something unusual. He found that some people in the hall were just walking around in the hall without touching any food or drinks.
On the contrary, those who were holding champagne and looking relaxed looked at those people as if they were looking at goods, and then said something to the waiter behind them. After a while, a bag of clothes appeared in the waiter's hand.
Shi Nian looked at it for a long time, then turned around and said to Shi Yichu in confusion, "Uncle, I don't see any clothes."
Shi Yichu brought him a small piece of cake and pointed to the large hall, explaining, "See that area with a different floor color than the rest? The people walking through there are wearing clothes that are for sale today. If you see a child who looks good in it, just tell the uncle behind you."
Shi Nian looked at the waiter who had been following behind him.
The waiter nodded with a smile, "Yes, young master, you can buy those clothes. Of course, the ones the model is wearing are inferior, and the clothes you get are brand new."
He knew that many people had mysophobia and would not wear clothes that had been worn by others a second time. He specifically explained this to Shi Nian, and was also explaining it to Shi Yichui.
Shi Nian was surprised to see this way of selling clothes for the first time. Shi Yichu originally planned to accompany him to take a look, but they happened to meet an acquaintance and they started talking, so they had to let the waiter take Shi Nian to take a look first.
Shi Nian, led by the waiter, slowly walked to the center of the hall. However, when Shi Nian looked at the clothes worn by children about his age, he felt extremely shy.
Kelais hadn't known when he'd run onto his shoulders, dangling his little feet. He leaned over to Shi Nian's ear and said, "Niannian, do you know there used to be a word called brothel? You look like you're visiting a brothel right now."
Shi Nian didn't understand and asked, "What is a brothel?"
"A brothel, a brothel is... well!"
Daniel covered Coles's mouth expressionlessly. The pink kitten dragged the white kitten back into Shi Nian's pocket. "Nothing, go shopping by yourself. We're running out of battery."
Daniel wanted to beat Coles up severely. Instead of teaching him good things, he only taught him this kind of stuff?
"Okay, I'll recharge you when I get home." Shi Nian considerately opened his pockets for them, watched the two kittens return to their pockets, and still murmured in confusion, "What exactly is a brothel?"
He turned around and asked the waiter who had been following him, "Uncle, do you know what a brothel is?"
The waiter was embarrassed, worried that if he told the parents, they would think he was corrupting the child. He only stammered and gave a general idea, "Well... it's where they eat, drink and have fun... that's where the most talented people go."
Shi Nian found the difference between the venue and the brothel, "But this is where clothes are sold. There's no entertainment, only eating and drinking..."
The waiter wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Young Master, we are doing a serious business here."
Shi Nian nodded slowly and walked slowly to a handsome little Alpha. The little Alpha was wearing a slim-fitting suit, and also had black hair and black eyes, with a black mole at the end of his eye.
Shi Nian struggled to read the small words on the nameplate on the Alpha's chest: Fu Xingyuan.
Fu Xingyuan stood with his head lowered, and suddenly felt the light in front of him dim. He looked up and saw a child of about the same age standing in front of him.
This child has the same hair and eye color as him, and is as delicate as a piece of jade. There is a hint of baby fat on his face. At first glance, he is a spoiled young master who is well taken care of by his family.
Fu Xingyuan scanned Shi Nian's entire body with just one glance, not missing the bright red earring on his fair earlobe or the little robot in his pocket.
And there was a hint of embarrassment on Shi Nian's delicate little face when she looked at herself.
Yes, cramped.
Fu Xingyuan's narrow eyes curved, "Hello, do you want to buy this dress of mine?"
Shi Nian looked at him. He didn't know if it was because of the black mole at the corner of Fu Xingyuan's eye, but he always felt that this little brother was a bit frivolous. He replied in a low voice: "Well, let me take a look."
Fu Xingyuan looked at Shi Nian, raised the corners of his eyes, and smiled. "Since Shi is here to look at clothes, then don't look down. You should look around more before buying clothes."
He pulled the small suit he was wearing to show Shi Nian, "You can also touch the clothes. This kind of fabric is very comfortable to wear. Do you want to try it?"
Fu Xingyuan started to undress as he spoke, and in the blink of an eye he had taken off most of his clothes, revealing the pure white lining underneath.
"No, no, don't take it off!"
Seeing this, Shi Nian kept shaking his head and stepped back in panic. The fair-skinned little fellow suddenly turned as red as a boiled shrimp. He was so embarrassed that his head was about to smoke, and his earlobes were even redder, blending into the same color as his earrings.
Kelais clung to the edge of Shi Nian's pocket and cried out excitedly, "What a proactive little Alpha, little Niannian, hurry up..."
Before he could finish his words, Daniel impatiently pulled him back to the bottom of his pocket.
Fu Xingyuan looked at Shi Nian's shy expression and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips. "What are you doing? I'm not standing here naked. Aren't you rich people used to this kind of scene? Why are you so shy?"
The waiter behind Shi Nian's face turned stern. He took a step forward and scolded, "Shut up! How can you speak to such an honored guest with such an attitude?!"
Fu Xingyuan remained calm, maintaining a subtle smile on his face. "I'm sorry, dear young master. I hope my unreasonable behavior didn't cause you any trouble."
Shi Nian was startled by the waiter's sudden voice. "No, it's okay. Uncle, don't be mean to him. He didn't do anything wrong."
In Shi Nian's opinion, only children who did something wrong would be scolded by adults, and the waiter should not be scolded by this little brother.
He also turned to explain to Fu Xingyuan, "This is my first time here, so you don't have to take off your clothes for me. I'm just taking a look. I'm sorry to disturb your work."
Shi Nian explained to Fu Xingyuan seriously, then turned and left without looking at the clothes anymore. He went straight to the pastry area and missed the complicated look Fu Xingyuan gave him.
The waiter glared at Fu Xingyuan before following Shi Nian. "I'll tell your brother all this. Just wait and see."
Fu Xingyuan's expression suddenly sank when he heard this. His eyes were like a bottomless abyss, filled with infinite danger. "He's not my brother, don't yell."
The waiter was so frightened by his gaze that he froze for a few seconds. Then, he snapped back to his senses and thought it was funny that he had been frightened by a little brat. "Well, I'm just a lowly illegitimate child. I'm not worthy of being called a brother to that guy."
Fu Xingyuan clenched her fingers for a moment, then relaxed her brows, revealing her usual smile. She raised her chin towards Shi Nian and said, "That young master is leaving. Aren't you going to follow him? He's not a lowly person, is he? If something happens to him, what will you do?"
The waiter glanced at Shi Nian hurriedly, and when he saw that he was just going to get the small cake, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Behave yourself. Your legitimate brother is not as high-ranking as this young master. Know your place."
Fu Xingyuan lowered his eyes, the corners of his lips curled up, "Of course, I will stay away from him. After all, I am so... lowly."
After hearing his self-aware words, the waiter turned around with satisfaction and followed Shi Nian.
Shi Nian was completely unaware of what was happening behind him, and was happily placing small cakes on the tray with a pair of tongs in her hand.
Shi Nian muttered as she took them, her voice filled with joy, "I want a strawberry flavor, a chocolate flavor, and a vanilla flavor... My uncle likes it, I want to get him one..."
Just as Shi Nian was concentrating on choosing a small cake, someone patted his shoulder.
"Nian Nian."
Shi Nian turned around when she heard that and saw Bai Zemo. Her round eyes widened in surprise. "Xiaobai!"
The waiter bowed to Bai Zemo and said, "Master Bai."
Bai Zemo frowned when he heard the address, "Master Bai will do."
Waiter: "Yes, Master Bai."
Bai Zemo smiled at Shi Nian and said, "Are you here to choose clothes too?"
"Well, I followed my uncle and his family here, but I didn't get to choose any clothes."
Shi Nian said dejectedly. He had originally liked the small suit that Fu Xingyuan was wearing, but he felt embarrassed about being scared away by the other party.
Bai Zemo: "It's okay, I'll take you to choose after you finish eating."
Shi Nian was naturally happy to have someone familiar around him. He finished his own cake first, then ran to the second floor to find Shi Yichu, "Uncle, have some cake."
Shi Yichu took the tray and kissed Shi Nian on the cheek, "Thank you, Xiao Niannian."
The Alpha sitting next to Shi Yichu looked at Shi Nian and asked in surprise, "Is this the one you gave birth to?"
Shi Yichu answered while eating cake, "No, Xiao Niannian was born to my brother, and the one I gave birth to is a little girl."
Alpha nodded slowly, then smiled and pulled Shi Nian to his side, holding a business card between his fingers. "Little guy, my name is Gan Yuluo. Are you interested in making a movie?"
Shi Nian felt the name sounded familiar. She looked at the uncle with pigtails and subconsciously wanted to reach out and take it. "Thank you, uncle."
But Shi Yichu snatched the business card first, threw it into Gan Yuluo's arms, and sneered, "His father is Yu Luhan. How dare you lure his son into the entertainment industry?"
Gan Yuluo choked for a moment and took back the business card in dismay, "Then forget it. I'll be skinned alive by Old Yu."
He just looked at Shi Nian's delicate little face and sighed again and again, "What a good seedling! Wow, this face is a work of art..."
Shi Yichu didn't want to pay attention to him and looked at Bai Zemo beside Shi Nian, "Niannian, is this your friend?"
Shi Nian pulled Bai Zemo and introduced him, "Yes! This is Xiaobai~"
"Oh~ Xiaobai~" Shi Yichu laughed and imitated Shi Nian's tone to call Bai Zemo. He picked up the candy on the table and stuffed it into his hand, "Come here, Xiaobai, have some candy."
Bai Zemo was stunned. He held the candy in his hand and looked at Shi Yichu, who was smiling. "Thank you, Master."
Shi Yichu laughed heartily. "Don't be polite. Just call me uncle."
Shi Nian also nodded. "My uncle is very good, Xiaobai, don't be afraid. Oh, by the way, this is my uncle, not my father."
Shi Nian remembered that Bai Zemo had said before that he couldn't tell the difference between Shi Yichu and Shi Yiyu, so this time he made it clear to him.
Bai Zemo looked at Shi Yichu, who looked just like Shi Yiyu, and said softly, "I'll admit it."
The twins Shi Yichui and Shi Yiyu have very different personalities. As long as you talk to them, you will not confuse them. Bai Zemo only discovered the difference after getting along with Shi Yichui this time.
After delivering the small cake to Shi Yichu, Shi Nian followed Bai Zemo to the first floor to choose clothes.
Shi Nian only needed to talk to Bai Zemo the whole time. Bai Zemo knew that Shi Nian was not good at talking to strangers, so he went up to ask the little models about the clothing sizes and then told Shi Nian.
Shi Nian picked out a brown vest and loose shorts. The waiter packed them all for him and held them in his hands.
The head of the Bai family saw Bai Zemo and Shi Nian together again, so he pulled Bai Zeyun over and gave him a push, "Go quickly, and perform well this time!"
Ever since being ignored by Shi Nian last time, Bai Zeyun didn't really want to play with this cold child. He tried to persuade the head of the Bai family, "Didn't they say that the heir of the Merovingian family has returned to Plant? I can just go find her. Why do I have to go find Shi Nian?"
The Bai family knew that the Merovingian family had only one child. Bai Zeyun was thinking about pleasing Shi Nian? It would be better to please Nobi, who was the future owner of the Chamber of Commerce.
The head of the Bai family couldn't bear to force his son, so he looked everywhere for Morpheus and Nobby. Finally, he saw Nobby running over. Before Bai Zeyun could go forward, he saw Nobby hugging Shi Nian affectionately and kissing him on the face.
The head of the Bai family: "..."
He kicked Bai Zeyun and urged him without hesitation, "Go quickly!"
Bai Zeyun staggered after being kicked, his expression filled with grief and indignation. Why did everyone he wanted to please always get along well with Shi Nian?!
Shi Nian was hugged by the suddenly appearing Nuobi, who looked at her in surprise, "Why did you come so soon?"
Nobby pointed behind him proudly, "Brot, look! These are my battle records. I didn't spend a penny."
Shi Nian looked behind her and saw more than a dozen waiters following behind her, each of them holding bags of varying sizes, which looked like they contained at least a hundred pieces of clothing.
Shi Nian looked at the huge pile of things and was stunned. "What did you do?"
In fact, he wanted to ask more, did she rob the Luodaning family?
