Chapter 523: Chapter 355: See you in three days, don’t be late_1

“He’s your brother, of course I like him.”

Although Lu Cong didn’t understand why Murong Qian suddenly brought up Murong Yun, he honestly revealed his thinking anyway.

Murong Qian raised her eyebrow. “You mean, if he weren’t my brother, you wouldn’t like him?”

Lu Cong nodded, “Honestly, I’m indifferent to kids. Can’t say I like them or hate them.”

Murong Qian’s face grew serious.

Upon seeing her seeming discontent, Lu Cong, driven by an insuppressible instinct to survive, quickly added: “I’ll definitely love our own kids, our future kids.”

“And if our child was walking on the street, would you be able to recognize them?”

Lu Cong: “…”

How was he supposed to answer that?

Stealing a glance at Murong Qian, Lu Cong pondered: if he said he wouldn’t recognize, she would probably be even less pleased, right? So…

“Of course. It’s a father’s instinct. How could I not recognize my own child? Qianqian, are you satisfied with this answer?”

With the end of his sentence, he looked at her ingratiatingly.

Murong Qian grinded her teeth, “I’m pleased. I’m very pleased. I couldn’t be more pleased.”

Humph!

Men’s mouths are the devil’s lair.

Originally, she wanted to tell him about Xunxun’s real identity, but now…

Forget it, forget it, she’s not in a good mood now, she’ll tell him in a few days’ time.

The two of them drove back to the villa.

The instant they walked in, Gu Li greeted them, “Sister Qian, did Aunt give you a hard time?”

Murong Qian shook her head. “No. But she took Xunxun back home. After your competition is over, I will go and pick him up.”

Finishing her sentence, she gave Gu Li a look warning her not to discuss this topic any further.

Gu Li immediately caught on, “Oh, I see.”

Seeing that Shiting wasn’t there, Lu Cong couldn’t help asking, “Where did Shiting go?”

Gu Li replied, “He had to go out due to a sudden phone call. He said he won’t be back for dinner. What do you guys want to eat? How about we have hot pot?”

“Sure, I have no objections.”

Murong Qian eagerly concurred.

She enjoyed hot pot the most. In her opinion, no problem couldn’t be solved by hot pot, and if there was, it was because the hot pot seasoning wasn’t fragrant enough.

“And you?”

Gu Li turned to Lu Cong.

Lu Cong pushed up the glasses on his nose bridge, smiled, “I’ll go with whatever Qianqian suggests.”

Gu Li: “…”

How frustrating! With Brother Ting not around, she sticks out like a sore thumb.

Country M, Shengshi Building.

The place where the Xinghe Group’s branch in Country M is located.

Mo Shiting parked his car at the underground car park, where Lu Yang had already been waiting.

“Young master, you’re here.”

Lu Yang also accompanied Mo Shiting to country M, but instead of going to Murong Household with him, he returned to the company.

An hour ago, the computers at the research center showed signs of malfunction, indicating a hacker attack. The situation became more and more serious. Lu Yang couldn’t deal with it and had to call Mo Shiting over.

Seeing his young master arrive, the heart he’d been holding up finally relaxed a little.

“Young master, just now the hacker left a message before he vanished.”

“What was the message?”

Mo Shiting cast a glance at him, then proceeded towards the elevator with long strides.

Lu Yang hastened to keep up with his pace.

After unlocking the elevator with his fingerprint, Lu Yang continued his report: “Meet at the Capital’s First Pier three days from now. We are given three days. If you don’t show up at the pier to meet their boss in three days, the virus they’ve implanted will start infiltrating our research system.”

Mo Shiting slightly furrowed his brows, “Who is it?”

Lu Yang sighed, “This attack was initiated by Rock, who is ranked among the top three hackers in the world. But as to who hired him, currently there’s no clue.”
