Chapter 452: Chapter 452 Brother Xiao Chuan

Nuonuo kept calling "handsome grandpa" and "beautiful grandma," making the elderly around Su Jingguo very happy.

She sat on a chair, holding a small snack prepared by her great-grandfather, swinging her legs as she watched her brother seriously learning how to shoot targets.

"Great-grandfather, Nuonuo wants to drink water."

Su Jingguo opened the child’s water cup on the table and handed it over, "Drink slowly."

"Nuonuo knows, okay?" Little Dumpling, holding in her hand the partly eaten snack, went over and drank several gulps of water.

In this courtyard of theirs live people of status and position, but no family has such a small child as Lu Nuonuo, who is absolutely adored by everyone.

Lu Nuonuo saw a slim, handsome young boy walking in through the door, appearing to be about the same age as her brother, with delicate and beautiful features, not losing out to her two brothers at all.

"Nuonuo girl, this is your grandma’s great-grandson, named Gu Suxuan, five years older than you."

The woman with silver hair, wearing silver-rimmed glasses, exuded a scholarly aura with a gentle voice said, "When you stay at your great-grandfather’s place, you can come to grandma’s house to play with him whenever you want."

Wow! Such a handsome little brother!

Little Dumpling was amazed by the boy, and the surrounding elders watching this scene couldn’t help but smile and enjoy the show.

She exclaimed, "Grandma, the little brother is as beautiful as you!"

The woman was amused by the child’s compliment, nudging her always silent great-grandson, "Xiao Chuan, you’ll get moldy staying home reading all day, go play with your little sister."

Gu Suxuan looked at his great-grandma silently for a while.

It was as though he made a decision, and he walked over, looking at Lu Nuonuo’s porcelain-like face, extending his hand in friendship, "Hello, I’m Gu Suxuan, you can call me Brother Xiao Chuan."

Lu Nuonuo quickly stuffed the snack in her hand into her great-grandfather’s hand.

She giggled and held Gu Suxuan’s hand, sweetly saying, "Hello, I’m Lu Nuonuo, Nuonuo of the glutinous rice dumpling."

"Brother Xiao Chuan, my great-grandfather’s house has pretty little snowmen, my brother and I built them together. Do you want to come to my house to see the little snowmen?"

"...Ah? Now?"

"Yes, Brother Xiao Chuan, come home with me."

"What about your brothers..."

Gu Suxuan was slightly overwhelmed by Little Dumpling’s enthusiasm.

"Great-grandfather is watching over them, it’s okay~"

Su Jingguo: "???"

From the moment Lu Nuonuo held Gu Suxuan’s hand, she hadn’t let go, her eyes smiling like crescent moons, pulling him to go outside.

"Brother Xiao Chuan, let’s go, let’s see the little snowmen with Nuonuo~"

She held Gu Suxuan’s hand while walking out, telling Su Jingguo, "Great-grandfather, Nuonuo’s going home first."

"..." Su Jingguo remained silent.

He just watched as his great-granddaughter, with just a few words, "abducted" his old friend’s always silent great-grandson back home, somewhat admiring the child’s talent for conversation.

"Old Su, your Nuonuo is really likable,"

The silver-haired beauty teased, "If you don’t have time to take care of her, you can send her to our house, and I guarantee to raise her tender and fair."

Others also laughed, "Old Su, sending her to our house works too."

Faced with the people’s affection for the child, Su Jingguo protectively said, "That’s not possible, we only have this one girl treasure, there’s not enough time for our own family to pamper her."

Under his indication, the butler, together with the bodyguards, sent the two children home to see the little snowmen.

Su Jingguo stayed at the shooting range to watch Ji Chao and Ji Ze, while playing chess with friends, cherishing these precious days.

Snow makes the roads slippery.

Gu Suxuan watched Little Dumpling bounce and jump as she walked, afraid to let go of her hand, worried she might suddenly fall.

At this moment, he couldn’t begin to understand.

The soft and adorable Little Dumpling before him would, in the long and monotonous days to come, leave behind annual moments of beauty and warmth for him.

On this side, it was the serene and cozy days, while on the other side, tensions were high and the situation was urgent.

Early today.

Lu Xining received a message from Secretary Cheng, inviting her to meet Xi Juan at a teahouse.

At the same time, she received an anonymous video.

Haozi was hung by chains, with no good flesh left on him, so weak that he could only stand by leaning on his dangling hands.

Lu Xining’s face darkened, first the overt invitation, then the silent threat.

She knew Xi Juan was trying to intimidate her, to make her see the current situation clearly and avoid decisions she would regret.

"What are you planning to do? Surely you don’t intend to meet him alone!"

Wu Shi urged Cheng Cang to calm down, advising Lu Xining to think carefully and not rush.

"What do you mean, not rush?"

Cheng Cang disagreed, "Old Shi, you’re well aware, that place is Xi Juan’s territory."

"The teahouse he invites her to is clearly his own property, surrounded by his personal guards. If anything happens, we won’t be able to get there in time."

The area’s location is of utmost importance and sensitivity, besides officials, no one is allowed to bring sharp items into that zone.

"Being empty-handed... it’s easy to fall into that old fox’s trap."

Lu Xining patted his shoulder, comforting him, "I know you’re worried about me, but if I don’t go, Haozi won’t be able to hold on."

She studied medicine and could see that Haozi’s condition was very poor.

Xi Juan truly dealt him a heavy hand!

Currently, it’s unknown how things are on Shang Lvxing’s side.

"That old fox Xi Juan said to go alone, it’s obviously a trap. If anything happens, what about Nuonuo?"

Having grown up in a single-parent family, he deeply understood how difficult a child’s path can be without a mother.

Hearing him mention her daughter, Lu Xining’s eyes froze for a moment.

After listening to all events, Wu Shi stood up to analyze, saying, "Xi Juan still hasn’t given up on the Artificial Uterus biological project."

"That’s what I think too, whether using tough strategies or soft ones, his ultimate goal is to get the core technology of this project."

Someone capable of creating a biological laboratory at sea, with talents like Lott under his command.

Even genetic breakthrough experiments have already achieved results.

Lu Xining couldn’t understand why he wanted to get the core technology of her Artificial Uterus biological project.

Is there a deeper hidden agenda behind this?

Wu Shi reminded her, "As long as he desires something from you, you can secure an advantage."

Lu Xining: "Xi Juan and the person from the Gu Family are now in a competition, it’s already at a crucial moment, whoever wins will have more say."

She turned to Wu Shi and Cheng Cang, saying, "Arrange a meeting with the Gu Family’s person for me."
