The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 973 - 372: Lu Jingchen’s Son
After Song Qiao finished speaking, she directly took Song Nianhuan from Mu Shinian’s hands. Seeing the girl’s curious gaze glued on Lu Yulin, she sighed inwardly and began, "Huanhuan, this is your brother, you should call him brother..."
However, the little girl didn’t immediately speak. Instead, she looked curious and asked, "Mom, didn’t you tell me earlier that brother was born on the same day as me? Why does he look older than me?"
After speaking, she looked at Lu Yulin, then at herself, seemingly unable to comprehend why Lu Yulin was so big and she was so small...
Song Qiao felt a sudden urge to laugh when she heard her daughter’s words. She quickly explained, "He’s your cousin, not your real brother. Be good, call him brother..."
The little girl quickly understood, and although she was a bit reluctant to call a suddenly appeared stranger brother, she still obediently and politely murmured, "Brother..."
Hearing Song Nianhuan call him brother with her babyish voice, Lu Yulin felt an indescribable dryness in his throat and an indescribable excitement within.
"..."
Lu Yulin came to Paris originally due to work reasons. When Mu Shinian was found out by his boss to know Lu Yulin, the collaboration was immediately handed over to him to handle.
Initially, Mu Shinian planned to refuse because he didn’t believe he truly had the capability, but eventually, under his boss’s persistent persuasion, he accepted the task.
Soon after Song Qiao decided to return to An City with Gu Xiyan to shoot a movie, Mu Shinian also confirmed the collaboration and had to go to An City a few days later, as CK Group required it to be in An City.
...
Compared to five years ago, An City has changed a lot. Many places developed into industrial and residential areas. Even some old buildings in the city center have transformed into high-rise buildings.
The only place unchanged is a particular street in An City, known for a uniquely characteristic coffee shop, whose owner is quite an individualistic woman.
Originally, this area was intended for redevelopment. However, the land was bought by CK Group. Apart from planting rows of sycamore trees along the roadsides, various kinds of food shops opened there...
Investing heavily to buy the entire street without developing it into an industrial area, maintaining all the shopfronts, especially the dessert shop, seemed initially unprofitable for CK Group aside from receiving the rent. But regardless of what others said, Lu Jingchen consistently adhered to his approach.
Simply because Song Qiao liked this street and the coffee shop on it...
As Song Qiao liked the French sycamores, Lu Jingchen planted beautiful sycamore trees along both sides of the street.
He transformed the street into the image she liked.
Possibly thanks to the sycamore trees, after the year of renovations, this street started gaining fame in An City, attracting many visitors for shopping and even film crews for shooting movies and TV dramas.
Gradually, the street became the most famous tourist spot in An City, with its land prices soaring from being worthless to invaluable.
A black Maybach parked directly in front of the coffee shop. Shortly after, the front driver got out and walked to the back to open the car door, catching the curiosity of some passersby who first saw a foot in a black leather shoe step onto the pavement, followed shortly by a man in a suit exiting the vehicle.
When the man’s appearance entered the gaze of those around, someone couldn’t help but sharply inhale, while others excitedly pulled out phones preparing to take pictures.
As if sensing this attention, the man turned to the person taking photos, casting a cold gaze that stopped them in their tracks, suddenly unwilling to press the shutter.
The man’s sharply cut, handsome face with deep, whirlpool-like eyes made it impossible to look away once engaged, his thin lips pursed, exuding an icy demeanor and a ’keep your distance’ aura.
Compared to five years ago, Lu Jingchen appeared even colder now, though time had left its mark on him, adding a sense of safety and maturity.
"Daddy..." Just then, a childlike voice came from inside the car.
Upon hearing his child, Lu Jingchen’s expression softened slightly, as he bent down to extract a child from within the vehicle.
The child wore a white shirt and black suspenders, sporting a watermelon haircut, appearing very handsome at a young age, with features bearing a strong resemblance to Lu Jingchen.
Their high value for looks immediately drew the attention of many observers, some attempting to take photos only to be stopped by black-clad figures suddenly appearing from nowhere.
Lu Jingchen, holding his son in one arm, unyieldingly walked toward the coffee shop.
The little boy clung to Lu Jingchen’s neck, eyes roaming around before whispering in his father’s ear, "Dad, when is mom coming back?"
The man’s steps paused, his head turning toward the little boy beside him, before finally speaking in a low voice, "When you become a bit more sensible, mom will come back."
The boy pretended to understand and replied with an "Oh."
After a few moments, he spoke again, "Dad, can I buy a piece for Xiao Hongdou?"
Upon reaching the cafe’s entrance, Lu Jingchen pushed open the glass door and entered, not directly refusing nor agreeing, asking instead, "Do you like Xiao Hongdou?"
The child’s cheeks inexplicably reddened, shaking his head before nodding quickly, taking quite a while to squeeze out, "Xiao Hongdou is very cute..."
Lu Jingchen acknowledged with a "Hmm" before saying nothing further, bringing the boy to a window seat where their presence attracted attention from many within the café, while outside, recognizing him as the CEO of CK Group, the gathering crowd became even more restless.
