Chapter 1413 Ceasefire

The father and son sat in the backseat of the car while two bodyguards sat in the front. One drove while the other sat in the front passenger seat. The other bodyguards followed them in a separate vehicle.

Long Hui helped his son open the snacks and knickknacks that the Black Stars weirdos gave Little Jun. They were all cheap things, but the child would exclaim with happiness whenever he finished opening one. His son's reaction made Long Hui stop himself from showing open disdain for all this trash. When they reached the highway, his phone began ringing.

It was one of Mao Qiuyue's friends calling. He ignored it. The call stopped. Then he received an angry message telling him that the police had taken his wife. In the next few minutes, his phone began ringing nonstop.

His mother-in-law, father-in-law, and even his mother called him, demanding to leave his son and help his wife instead. Long Hui read their furious messages to him. His in-laws' words were particularly nasty. They were basically threatening to withdraw their support if he let their daughter get into trouble.

He wavered for a moment, but when he looked at his innocent son, who still had red and puffy eyes from crying so much, his eyes turned cold, and his heart hardened towards his wife and in-laws. He might have already sold himself to the Maos, but that didn't mean that he would abandon his son for his wife.

A wife could always be changed, but his son would forever be his child. Long Hui could tolerate if his wife disliked his child with Jiang Ying Yue, as long as she never directly attacked Little Jun. But that was precisely what she did today. It was only thanks to his son's bodyguards that she failed. She crossed the line today. He couldn't find it in his heart to find the compassion as a husband and rescue her from the police. In fact, even a part of him wished that she would be locked in jail forever. But that was just a useless fantasy.

He had to admit that he still needed Mao Qiuyue and her family to achieve his ambitions. But for now, he wanted to be with his son.

The sky was already dark when they reached the main gates of Dragon Palace. After verifying their identities, the gates were opened, and they drove inside. Long Hui's eyes widened at this development. At first, he thought they would stop outside the exclusive village. He would say goodbye to his son and drive away by himself. But, he didn't expect them to enter Dragon Palace with him still inside the car.

"Uhm, is this okay?" he asked the bodyguards at the front.

"Miss Jiang wants to speak with you first."

Long Hui finally understood. So it was like that.

More than half an hour later, they finally arrived at Dragon Palace Home #10. Long Hui bundled up his son with an extra coat because the night air was already cold. Then he carried Little Jun out of the car and looked at the palatial mansion.

It was, without a doubt, one of the grandest homes that he had set foot in his life ever. If a person wasn't used to this kind of extravagance and luxury, one would definitely feel intimidated. Long Hui was a wealthy scion, so he wasn't ignorant of this kind of extravagance and luxury, but even he felt a little intimidated. He glanced at his son, who now called this place home.

But he was also reluctant to leave his son so soon. If it weren't for what happened with Mao Qiuyue at the mall, this day would have been perfect. He had fun taking his son to the zoo and spending time together as father and son.

For this reason, he could only swallow his complaints and follow his son inside the huge mansion.

The others followed behind them. Midway, Iris and Jin Liwei separated from them and headed to another place instead, while Jiang Ying Yue and Lin Yehan continued to follow the father and son.

The first destination was Little Jun's bedroom. "Meow!"

"Ruff! Ruff!"

An orange cat and a puppy greeted the little guy.

"Dada, wook! Dis Popkohn! Dis Gwaby!" (Daddy, look! This is Popcorn! And this is Gravy!)

Long Hui had already met the hyperactive ginger cat before. Popcorn also seemed to remember him. The cat rubbed himself all over Long Hui's legs. On the other hand, the puppy Gravy was more cautious of this new stranger. He barked and growled at Long Hui. "No, Gwaby! Stop! Dis Junjun dada! No bad." (No, Gravy! Stop! This is Junjun's daddy! He's not bad.)

Long Hui squatted down and let the puppy sniff his hands. It continued to be suspicious of him, but at least it wasn't trying to attack him anymore.

He looked around his son's bedroom. With just one look, he knew that everything had been customized for his son. The space was large, bright and colourful while feeling cozy all at the same time. There were a lot of toys displayed on the wall shelves. He even recognized some of them as ones he had given his son before. He couldn't help but glance at his ex, Jiang Ying Yue. It turned out that despite their ruined relationship, she wasn't that bitter to the point that she would throw away everything he had given their son. She would even allow them to display the items in their son's room. Jiang Ying Yue noticed how he looked at her and some of the toys. She instantly understood what he was thinking. "Little Jun loves all the toys in his room," she explained. "They're just toys. So I let him keep what he wants. Doesn't matter who gave them to him."

Lin Yehan never once interrupted their conversation. He was just a quiet presence beside Jiang Ying Yue, which she really appreciated. Both were uncomfortable with Long Hui's presence here, but seeing Little Jun's joy and excitement was enough to increase their tolerance for the man.

Indeed, Jin Liwei was right. They should give this much to Little Jun. The little guy deserved it after all he went through earlier today.

Hence, everyone tacitly agreed that tonight would be a ceasefire. After showing his bedroom, Little Jun led his father to another place. This time, Popcorn and Gravy followed them as well.

They soon arrived at the nursery.

"What the f—hell-icopter are you doing here?" Lu Zihao almost cursed but quickly changed his wording after remembering that children were present. He glowered at the sight of Long Hui. Long Jinjing patted her husband's arm, silently asking him to calm down, before greeting her brother. "Eldest Brother Hui."
