"How can I, Li Feng, have such a weakling who can't withstand a simple cold as a son? Did they exchange one of my babies? I need to conduct DNA and confirm that it's true you are my son."
How can he forget their words? How can he forget how they had treated him? He knew, back in the Li family, he didn't have anyone as his family; the place felt lonely, cold, and depressive for him, and if Lu Wan Ruyi left, he would truly be more than lonely, miserable and could die any time without anyone being keen with his health. He doesn't regret moving abroad with her.
"I know..." Lu Ting Cheng didn't doubt him even for a minute. From their close bond, he could tell he was attached to her more than anyone else in their current family and they understood him. In a vast sea, she was the only person who was truly related to him. Even if he wasn't her son, she was his close blood-related auntie.
"Mnnnh... I actually do wonder what they are doing and what they have been up to. It's been six years already... Time flies." Yes, he has been too busy to even check up on this family he had abandoned. Apart from investing and finding ways to establish his authority back in their country, he didn't have time to do anything else.
"I just read somewhere that the Li family ain't doing that well, so, we can be able to purchase more shares secretly... And also, your biological mother does look very much healthy, I don't think she was ever as seriously sick as they had said." Lu Ting Cheng had seen her on the social media platforms. She looks so much healthy and vigorous and not someone who has battled with serious health issues.
"Hehe, it's only some stupid and blind people who could be easily manipulated! It's good that momma had decided to move away from that disastrous family. If she hadn't moved, our fate today would have been different; going back into the country, I needed to check out who was shooting out at the airport and if they were after me and her or after you guys. I always feel like this person was after my mommy." Yes, the Lu family was also running out of the country for unknown reasons, as they hadn't told him anything, but he always felt like things were completely different from that. It felt more complicated than usual since his adoptive father always felt mysterious to him.
"That's why we have to go back, and going back silently is the best way. We need to secretly investigate things back then. They have to pay for harming her." Their adoptive mother had fallen into a coma for three whole months, they worriedly waited for three months before she could wake up. How could they not avenge her?
"Mnnnh...." They quietly worked on the files while going through the financial reports and doing summaries.

Lu Zhi Hao, who had returned to the mansion, walked into his master bedroom after opening the door, but it was pitch dark. He switched on the dim wall lights looking at that bump on the bed curled up together and sleeping soundly. He has been on a business trip for the past five days but could call her through the phone from time to time chatting and informing her about things he was doing there.
All the times, he needed to assure her that whatever he was doing wasn't illegal and at the same time, he was loyal to her. One thing he had vowed, was never to betray her. He always felt the need to assure her and be loyal to her.
He didn't disturb her sleep so he walked over to the washroom and took a bath before wearing his bathrobe. He sat down at the dressing table and began drying his hair, which was soaking wet. Looking at that image in the mirror, he just looked way younger. Time flies, but he still feels like he is in his youthful years.
Lu Wan Ruyi, who had heard some movement around the bedroom, got up and walked over to the dressing room; apart from her husband, no one else could go in there so randomly. Even her sons knew that and they had some boundaries giving her privacy.
Walking into the dressing room, it was her husband seated there at the dressing table while he held that blow-drying machine drying his hair, "you don't miss me at all..." She stood there, pouting her lips looking like she could cry any time soon. Her eyes were now glistening with tears threatening to fall. Her hands crossed across her chest while she slightly leaned at the door.
