Chapter 2: The Second Young Master of the Xu Family Is a Love-Brained Fool

The voice echoed again—this time, Xu Zherui heard it clearly. The words were unmistakably coming from the little boy in Su Lengyan’s arms.

But… the boy hadn’t opened his mouth.

Xu Zherui narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the child.

[Damn it! Xu Zherui, why the hell are you staring at me like that?! What are you planning—murder and psychological torment?!]

[What, are you trying to figure out how to kill me more efficiently? God, you're not just a lovesick fool—you’re a total psycho!]

There was no doubt now—the voice was coming from the kid. But… it was just thoughts.

Xu Zherui glanced at Su Lengyan. She looked completely calm, showing no reaction to the voice. That meant he was the only one who could hear it.

Interesting.

This little boy looked young, but he sure had guts. Calling him a lovestruck idiot and a pervert? Bold.

Su Lengyan suddenly turned to him. “Xu Zherui, do you need something else? I’m taking Xiao Ruan to the hospital.”

“The hospital? What happened?”

“He’s an orphan. Someone dumped him in an alley, all bruised and battered. I’m going to get him checked out first, then I’ll contact the welfare office.”

“You really are a kind soul, Lengyan.”

[Pfft. Love-brained fool.]

There it was again—“love-brained fool.” Why did this kid keep calling him that?!

Xu Zherui stepped forward. “Lengyan, let me carry the little guy. I’ve got time, and my car’s parked just ahead. I’ll drive you two.”

Before Su Lengyan could respond, he reached out and took Xu Ru'an from her arms.

The moment Xu Zherui picked him up, Xu Ru'an’s body went stiff. He trembled all over. This was terrifying. The villain had picked him up like it was nothing!

[Oh my god! What is this guy planning now?! Taking me to the hospital? This is so off-script! Isn’t he supposed to kill me right away?!]

[Wait—hold on! I forgot! His older brother, Xu Xingyi, the second young master of the Xu family, is a doctor. Don’t tell me he’s taking me to him so his brother can kill me off quietly!]

Hmm? This little brat knew about Xu Xingyi?

Xu Zherui leaned in closer, eyeing the boy with growing curiosity. The kid had round, chubby cheeks, big bright eyes like onyx beads, and a faint milky scent clinging to him. Honestly… he was kind of cute.

“What’s your name, little milk bun?”

“…Xu Ru'an.”

“Oh? Same last name as mine, huh?”

[Heh… like I had a choice in the matter.]

His sister had picked the name. Who knew what was going through her head when she did?

“You’re quite the character. Let’s get you over to my second brother, see what he says.”

[Damn it! I knew it! He’s taking me to his brother! Am I going to die worse than in the book now?!]

Why did this little kid keep thinking he was going to die? Xu Zherui didn’t get it. He knew he could be temperamental, sure, but he wasn’t some monster who’d hurt a child!

Just then, Su Lengyan’s phone rang. She picked up, spoke briefly, then hung up with a troubled expression.

“Xu Zherui, I’m sorry—something urgent came up at home. Can I trouble you to take the little guy to the hospital for me?”

“Yes, I can take him. Do you need me to come with you?”

“No need, I can handle it myself. I’m leaving the little guy in your hands!”

With that, Su Lengyan hopped into a taxi and drove off.

[Wait, seriously? The female lead just left?! She ditched me with this love-crazed fool?! I'm doomed. Absolutely doomed.]

“Alright, little milk bun, let’s head out too.”

Xu Ru'an didn’t even bother replying. The moment he got into the car, he shut his eyes and pretended to be asleep. If it weren’t for the constant inner commentary, Xu Zherui might’ve actually believed he was sleeping.

[Speaking of this lovesick idiot... he's honestly kind of pitiful. I remember Xu Zherui fell for the female lead at first sight and became her devoted puppy. Anything she asked, he’d do it without question.]

[And the male lead used that. During the Global Hacking Tournament a month later, the female lead—believing the male lead—appointed her cousin as Xu Zherui’s assistant. But that “assistant” had already been bought off. His real purpose was to stay close to Xu Zherui and wait for the perfect chance to sabotage him.]

Hearing that, Xu Zherui’s brows furrowed deeply. Devoted Puppy? Really?

But more importantly—how did this little kid know what was going to happen a month from now? Did he have some kind of ability to predict the future?

[Sigh… and even harder to deal with than Xu Zherui is his genius doctor of a brother, Xu Xingyi. Hopefully when I meet him, he’ll see that I’m just a poor little kid and put me out of my misery quickly. I’m terrified of pain.]

The car soon arrived at the hospital’s underground parking lot. After parking, Xu Zherui carried Xu Ru'an into the elevator and headed up to the 7th floor to find Xu Xingyi.

“Second Brother, I need a favor—do you have a moment?”

Hearing his sixth brother’s voice, Xu Xingyi replied without looking up, “No time. I have a major surgery in three days. I’m researching for it.”

“A surgery big enough that you have to perform it personally?”

From a young age, Xu Xingyi had shown extraordinary talent in medicine. His reputation came from performing several complex surgeries, and since then, he only operated on cases that truly intrigued or challenged him. Routine surgeries were delegated to his students or other doctors.

[A major surgery? Don’t tell me it’s that disastrous operation. If so, Xu Xingyi’s in trouble. The male lead already bribed his assistant, and during the operation, the assistant causes a huge error.]

[The patient’s a high-ranking military official. Because of that mistake, he dies on the table. Xu Xingyi gets convicted and later dies in prison at the hands of the official’s powerful family.]

As these thoughts echoed, Xu Zherui’s expression changed drastically.

Xu Xingyi, too, looked up in shock—he had clearly heard the voice.

Who just said that? How did they know he was scheduled to operate on someone that important? Aside from the hospital and the official’s family, only he knew about that.

Xu Xingyi’s eyes shifted to the child in Xu Zherui’s arms. The voice… seemed to have come from the little boy.

“Sixth Brother, who is this kid? Your secret love child?”

[What the hell?! Is Xu Xingyi blind?! How could I possibly be this love-addled fool’s kid?!]

Huh? Xu Zherui’s expression darkened. Did this little milk bun just insult him again? Love-addled fool? Was that what this kid thought of him?

“You’ve got it wrong, Second Brother. This little milk bun… I found him on the street. He was injured and looked pretty pitiful, so I brought him here for you to check on.”

Xu Zherui had originally intended to say Su Lengyan found the kid, but after being called a “love-addled fool” so many times, he felt awkward… so he just claimed he’d found the kid himself.
