Since the mark on Lu Chengzhou’s neck was facing Lu Zhan, the old grandmother could not see it.
She looked at the father-and-son in bewilderment. “What are you talking about?”
Lu Chengzhou calmly gave his grandmother a piece of potato. “Grandma, let’s eat.”
Something seemed to flash across the old grandmother’s face as she widened her eyes at Lu Chengzhou with excitement. “Am I going to have a great-grandchild soon?”

If not, why would her son bring up Gu Mang’s age and ask her grandson to know his limits?
Lu Chengzhou’s lips curled as he smiled and took a piece of pork ribs for himself. “You’re thinking too much.”
The old grandmother stared at him.
Lu Zhan looked at Lu Chengzhou. “Why are you back tonight? Don’t you need to go to Ming City?”
Today was a weekend and there was no school.
Lu Chengzhou raised his eyebrow. “She has something on and went to Country K.”
It was obvious who ‘she’ was referring to.
Lu Zhan was slightly taken aback. “Gu Mang went to Country K?”
Seeing his father overreacting, he paused and lifted his eyes without any expression. He then realized that his grandmother was surprised too.
He raised his eyebrow. “What’s wrong with her going to Country K?”
Lu Zhan told him that the President of Country K’s eldest daughter, Noelle, would be visiting them tomorrow.
Lu Chengzhou narrowed his eyes. “They want to invite Gu Mang to the presidential palace to treat the First Lady.”
He had also received the news earlier that the Shadow League accepted the presidential palace’s request and helped them to look for the Miracle Doctor. According to Arctic Fox’s skills, the Miracle Doctor should have been found long ago. Why were they looking for Gu Mang now?
Lu Zhan placed his arm on the table and turned his body. “Since the person coming to us is Noelle, you should know the presidential palace’s intentions.”
They would not leave if they could not get Gu Mang.
Lu Chengzhou nodded. “I’ll let Gu Mang know.”
The old grandmother said, “Since Gu Mang is in Country K too, it’s quite convenient.”
Lu Chengzhou hummed in assent and looked at the old grandmother and his father before speaking. “But before this, we need to strike a deal.”
The old grandmother and Lu Zhan knew what he was thinking.
Lu Zhan slammed the table and stared at him. “Are you conning your father?”
Lu Chengzhou still looked insipid and he said slowly, “You’re more than half a century old. Stop taking advantage of a small girl.”
Lu Zhan was speechless.
The old grandmother laughed. “You’re already protecting Gu Mang?”
Lu Chengzhou lifted a glass of water and took a sip. He said in a low voice, “I can’t even protect what she should receive, how can I protect her?”
“She isn’t yours yet.” Lu Zhan’s gaze was sharp.
Lu Chengzhou curled his lips and said, “She will be.”
Lu Zhan was speechless……
After having dinner, Lu Chengzhou returned to his own courtyard.
The butler was surprised but happy to see him after many months. He approached the man and greeted him respectfully. “Third Young Master.”
Lu Chengzhou nodded. “Go make a glass of honey water.”
The butler stared at Lu Chengzhou in shock and was bewildered to hear the instructions. “Honey water?”
His Third Young Master did not have a sweet tooth so why would he want honey water? Did he hear it wrong?
Lu Chengzhou acknowledged him with a hum as he walked to the small villa. “Send it to the bedroom.”
The butler gathered his thoughts and lowered his head. “Yes.”
Yet, he could not wrap his mind around it. Why would a person, who only drank coffee and tea in the past, suddenly want honey water?……
Lu Chengzhou sat on the sofa and on the coffee table in front of him was a laptop. The desktop showed an invite for a video call. Moments later, Gu Mang’s face appeared on the screen. She was also using the computer for a video call while playing games on her cell phone.
