Pei Fengzhi suppressed his doubts and continued listening to Xiao Xingxing.
"Handsome uncle, you're so rich, how much money could you possibly make selling a little kid like me? That's too inefficient."
Pei Fengzhi asked patiently.
"And what about the second one?"
Little Star looked up at Pei Fengzhi with a grin, and earnestly said in a childish tone something that made Pei Fengzhi both laugh and cry.
"Handsome uncle, you're so good-looking, what job wouldn't be more lucrative than being a human trafficker? Besides, if you get caught being a human trafficker, you'll spend the rest of your life in jail. It's a low-return, high-risk project. I know it's not worth it. You could become a star. Even if you don't have any acting skills, you could make millions just by standing on the screen with your face."
Pei Fengzhi was helpless.
Who on earth taught such a clever little devil?
"Did your mother teach you all of this?"
Little Star nodded vigorously, and when he smiled, he revealed two sharp little tiger teeth, making him even more adorable.
"Yes, my mommy is super smart, super capable, and super, super beautiful! Handsome uncle, are you married? Do you have a girlfriend? Why don't you consider my mommy? You'll definitely like her once you meet her!"
Pei Fengzhi didn't take the child's words to heart.
After all, for children, their mothers are the most amazing, outstanding, and perfect people in their hearts.
He just smiled at the little star and said that.
"I already have a wife, so I can't be your mommy's boyfriend."
Little Star, somewhat disappointed, gave an "Oh," blinked, and commented.
"Marrying so young, that's such a pity."
But he quickly cheered up again and followed Pei Fengzhi's words with a grin.
"But it's okay, it just means you and Mommy aren't meant to be. I'll keep looking for a new boyfriend for Mommy, and I'm sure she'll find someone better than you!"
The little guy chattered away, and although it was noisy, it wasn't annoying. On the contrary, Pei Fengzhi, who always preferred peace and quiet, found it quite adorable.
Pei Fengzhi probably wanted to say something more, but the car had already stopped. Xiao Xingxing opened the door and jumped down, then turned around and waved her little hand at Pei Fengzhi.
"I'm going to find Mommy now. Thank you, handsome uncle. I wish you a happy life and hope you and Auntie have a baby as cute as me soon."
After saying that, Little Star blew a kiss to Pei Fengzhi, then turned and ran off.
Pei Fengzhi watched Xiao Xingxing's departing figure, and couldn't help but smile as he thought of the little guy's words.
"If they are just as cute, that would be nice too."
Just as Pei Fengzhi was about to get out of the car, Jiang Yinglin suddenly walked over, placed one hand on the car door, bent down slightly, and peeked inside.
"Ninth Master, something urgent has come up."
Jiang Yinglin rarely showed such anxiety; he must have something truly urgent to attend to.
Pei Fengzhi nodded, and as he was about to get out of the car, he moved back to make room for one person.
Jiang Yinglin then bent down and sat down, closing the car door behind him.
The windows on both sides were rolled up, and the driver had gotten out of the car and stood three meters away from it. The entire carriage was isolated from the outside world, and it was so quiet that not a single sound could be heard from outside.
Jiang Yinglin then spoke.
"Ninth Master, news has arrived: Li Mochuan arrived in Jiangcheng a few days ago!"
Pei Fengzhi sat in the back seat of the car, relaxed but with a straight back. His hands were folded over his abdomen, his eyes were lowered, his lips were pursed, and he was silent, seemingly lost in thought.
Jiang Yinglin looked at Pei Fengzhi with worry in his eyes and couldn't help but ask Pei Fengzhi a question.
"He sneaked in so quietly this time, could it be...?"
Pei Fengzhi shook his head gently, his expression indifferent as if he didn't care at all.
"As long as he doesn't do anything out of line, we don't need to worry about him."
Jiang Yinglin frowned, his expression indescribably grim, a deep worry settling over his devilishly handsome features.
"But……"
Pei Fengzhi chuckled softly, a faint hint of coldness appearing in his eyes.
"There are only those who steal for a thousand days, not those who guard against thieves for a thousand days. If I were to be terrified and unable to sleep peacefully every day just because he appeared in Jiangcheng, that would be giving him far too much credit!"
Jiang Yinglin, however, still disagreed.
“But Li Mochuan is ruthless. He even attacked you before. You haven’t fully recovered yet. I’m worried that he might do something underhanded again…”
Pei Fengzhi gently shook his head and said in a low voice.
“Li Mochuan is not the kind of person who would act secretly. If he really wanted to attack me, he wouldn’t have kept ignoring me for the past few days.”
Pei Fengzhi rested his elbow on the car window, stroked his chin, and guessed as he spoke.
"Perhaps, he didn't come to Jiangcheng for me this time, but for something more important."
Jiang Yinglin, still uneasy, immediately spoke up.
"Then I'll send someone to investigate right now!"
Pei Fengzhi stopped Jiang Yinglin, speaking nonchalantly.
"No need, don't worry about him, just focus on your own things."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yinglin finally nodded and agreed.
...
While the two people in the car were discussing things, Xiao Xingxing had already quietly run up to the second floor and successfully found the private room where Ye Ningwan was.
Inside the private room, Ye Ningwan was anxiously waiting for Pei Fengzhi, or more precisely, for Pei Fengzhi's little cake.
Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open. Ye Ningwan's ears twitched, and upon hearing the sound, she immediately turned her head and excitedly looked towards the door, her eyes resembling those of a kitten waiting for a delicious can of food.
