CHAPTER 65: CHAPTER 65: FIRST PRAISE FROM MY SON

The world seemed to fall silent at this moment.

Song Dabai gleefully kissed Lu Jihan’s left cheek, saying again, "Daddy, you protected mommy and me, that’s awesome!"

At that moment, Lu Jihan’s mind went blank.

As his son’s soft lips kissed his cheek, he could smell the milky scent from his child and feel the warmth of his embrace, making his limbs freeze.

He had never imagined that a simple compliment from his son could bring him such joy, more than closing billion-dollar deals.

Instinctively, he hugged his son’s small body back and kissed his chubby cheek, "Are you okay?"

"Yes, Dabai is okay. Daddy, I’ve decided never to dislike you again; I’m going to give you a thumbs up, Daddy, you’re awesome!" Song Dabai said, raising his thumb to press a mark on Lu Jihan’s forehead.

Never to dislike him again?

Pfft, this little guy...

Lu Jihan felt a wave of delight.

But within two seconds, Song Yinyin’s reprimand came from the side, "Dabai, don’t call him Daddy!"

"Why, Mommy? He is my daddy; Daddy protected mommy and me..."

Song Dabai’s hands remained around Lu Jihan’s neck as he turned to look at Song Yinyin, pouting pitifully, seemingly a bit aggrieved.

Lu Jihan also looked at her, "Even your son knows to be grateful, yet you forbid him to call me Daddy?"

"..." Song Yinyin was at a loss for words, but her expression still didn’t look good, her heart pounding violently, almost leaping out of her throat.

The unprecedented stern tone frightened Song Dabai into pressing his lips together tightly, obediently falling silent.

Song Yinyin hurriedly stepped forward to hold her son, speaking in a detached tone, "Weren’t you the one who arranged for someone to pick us up? Come on, let’s find somewhere to talk business."

Holding her son, she walked ahead with a somewhat erratic pace.

Reflecting on earlier, when Lu Jihan stepped in to shield her from that person’s slap, she felt some gratitude inside, but soon she thought that he helped her just to show off in front of their son.

Observing her son’s reaction earlier, praising him, kissing him, and repeatedly calling him ’Daddy,’ Song Yinyin felt uncomfortable inside...

She worried that one day her son would get so used to him as a father that he wouldn’t need her as a mother.

After leaving the supermarket, her gaze cautiously glanced back, her heart slowly sinking, with hands icy cold.

Finding that Lu Jihan hadn’t followed too closely, keeping a distance of three meters, she gradually subdued her inner fear.

Little did she know, Lu Jihan was watching her back, not missing the fear that had briefly surfaced on her face.

Lu Jihan’s convoy stopped in front of the twin towers of Mainland Group, two identical buildings constructed grandly and magnificently.

The upper half of the left building housed Mainland Group’s offices, while the lower half was a massive mall featuring not only bowling alleys, badminton courts, golf courses, fitness and spa centers, and the right building was Imperial City’s most luxurious seven-star hotel.

North of the twin towers was Mainland Square, and at the northernmost point of Mainland Square was the Mainland Theater.

Song Yinyin held Song Dabai’s small hand, staring in awe at the towering architectural complex, somewhat dumbfounded.

She was genuinely shocked; she had never expected Lu Jihan to directly bring them to his company...

And Lu Jihan guided her and their son into the seven-star hotel on the right.
