Li Bingbing was pleased to know that Lu Xian Yu was doing his best to protect their children. Knowing that her children were being watched by professionals put her at ease

"Boss, you have received an invitation to Mr. Han's birthday." Shen Juan said, handing Lu Xian Yu a small black envelope.

Lu Xian Yu furrowed his brows together. If he was invited then that would mean that he has to go to the Azure Republic to attend the celebration.

He opened the envelope and took the red card inside. His frown went deep when he saw what was written inside.

Han Qinshan was also inviting his family.

Did he find out about Li Bingbing and the kids? That could be possible.

His relations.h.i.+p with Han Qinshan was neither good or bad. As long as Lu Xian Yu didn't go beyond the boundary that was set for him then the Wolf King wouldn't bother him.

If he had to be honest with himself, he didn't like Han Qinshan, he couldn't bring himself to trust him. As much as possible, he didn't want to be in the same room as him. It was not because he was afraid of him but Han Qinshan saw him as a threat and because of that, he was keeping a check on Lu Xian Yu.

There were rumors that it was actually Han Qinshan who was sending men after Lu Xian Yu's life since his faction was growing big but there was no confirmation about it.

Even Lu Xian Yu himself tried to find out if Han Qinshan was really the mastermind behind the people that were after him but in the end, no one would admit to it.

Lu Xian Yu didn't have any interest in his position or t.i.tle despite how his companions tried to convince him that he should challenge Han Qinshan on it.

It was not mandatory to attend Han Qinshan's birthday but since Lu Xian Yu was one of the people who was respected in the Azure Republic and being invited by the Wolf King himself, he didn't have a choice but to show himself there out of respect.

The only thing that he was worried about was his family. He was hesitant if whether he should bring them to that place. It was a place filled with professional fighters, if he brought them, knowing that enemies were lurking around, it was like showing them his Achilles' heel.

He ma.s.saged his temple, he was having a hard time deciding since he was really wary of Han Qinshan.

A creak from the door was heard. Mengmeng's head popped in and she was looking at her father, "Daddy, are you busy?"

He placed the card in his drawer before he turned to Mengmeng and smiled, "No, I'm not, why do you ask?"

"Mama is calling for you. She's waiting in the dining room."

He blinked a few times at what his daughter said.

He had been ignoring Li Bingbing for a while now. He had already forgiven for taking advantage of him and for eating his tofu a week ago. This time, he was mad at her for being careless with her words and because of that he became really strict with her.

He may love her but that didn't mean that he was going to be easy on her especially when he wanted her to be a good example for their children since there were times that her words would accidentally slip while they were in the presence of the children.

He has already set a rule that whenever the children would say a bad word, he would have to keep their toys as a punishment for it.

For Li Bingbing's case, he would scold her then ignore her for a while for it.

So Li Bingbing was trying to use their daughter this time eh?

Well, he has been ignoring her for half a day already, should he go to her and forgive her?

"Daddy?"

Lu Xian Yu sighed heavily. "Alright, alright, I'll follow you in a minute."

After giving some files to Shen Juan, he went out of his study.

Lu Xian Yu noticed that Mengmeng's eyes were filled with excitement about something. "You looked so happy right now, did something good happened?"

"Yup! Mama, Qinqing and I prepared a surprise for daddy's birthday!"

He paused from walking upon hearing what his daughter said.

Mengmeng realized what she said that she suddenly placed a hand on her mouth. "Oopsie..."

It was his birthday?

He was so busy with a lot of things lately that he didn't realize that it was already his birthday.

Mengmeng's eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears as she walked toward her father, "Mama will be mad at me..."

He blinked a few times, "Huh? Did you say something?" He acted confused, as if he didn't hear what her daughter just said earlier.

"Daddy didn't hear?"

"I was thinking of work that I wasn't able to hear what you said." He scooped her up in his arms, "Daddy is so sorry for not listening."

Mengmeng's face was filled with relief, she was glad that he wasn't able to hear what he said. "It's okay, daddy."

He smiled and kissed her forehead, "Well then, what were you saying again?"

"I just said that I love daddy so much!" She grinned at him, hugging his neck.

He chuckled softly, "Really?"

"Yup! Really really!"

"Dada! Jiejie!" Qinqing came running towards them, "Why are you walking slow? Mama and others are waiting."

"We have visitors?"

Qinqing nodded happily, "Yes! We have a big surprise for dada!"

Lu Xian Yu: "..."

A loud gasp was heard from Mengmeng, "Qinqing!" She turned to look at her father with a worried look on her face.

Lu Xian Yu turned his gaze to the painting on the wall, looking at it, as if admiring it. He turned to Qinqing, "Huh? Did you say something?"

"Qinqing just said that he loves you too, daddy." Mengmeng hurriedly said before her brother could say something. She turned to her brother and placed a finger on her lips as if telling him to be quiet.

Lu Xian Yu couldn't help but chuckle at his children. Ah, how sweet and innocent could they get? He wished that they would stay that way forever.
