Tang Wan was also rather excited because there were a lot of high-tech things here that he had never seen before. When he stayed at home, he could just lounge around, but when he leaves home, he ought to play to his heart’s desire. Anyway, he had a VIP ticket and so he didn’t need to line up. He could play with whatever he wanted to play on.

Zong He had also never been here before. He attended military school when he was 16 years old, was on the battlefield when he was 19 years old, became a Marshal when he was 25 years old, and wounded when he was 27 years old until now. It had been a very long time since he was able to experience how modern, ordinary people lived and the things they enjoyed. There were a lot of fun things that he had never seen before. Seeing Tang Wan being so excited, it wouldn’t be a big deal if he went out to test things.

Seeing that Zong He wasn’t opposed to it, Tang Wan carried him to the side of the cat climbing tree. Tang Wan took a safety harness and tied it around the other’s waist, softly encouraging him: “Zhuang ah, boys need an adventurous spirit. Don’t be afraid, it’s almost like training. You just need to climb up there.”

Tang Wan pointed towards an area that was about three meters from the ground. He guessed that Da Zhuang could test his courage by climbing there.

Tang Wan’s arrival attracted a number of people’s gazes. As a young, beautiful Asian carrying a good looking child, he would be eye-catching no matter where he went. In addition, his child was different from the others, like it was a different breed. There was a youth who reminded him: “Young children are playing over there. He won’t be able to climb here, this is for adults to play on.”

Tang Wan looked over at the area the other had pointed towards. Over there, sure enough, the highest point on the smaller version of the cat climbing tree was about three meters tall. There were a lot of children surrounding it. Tang Wan embarrassingly thanked the other and scooped up Zong He, coaxing him: “Zhuang ah, let’s go over there. There’s a small one.”

Zong He glanced up with a cold expression. With a powerful step, he had already jumped out of Tang Wan’s arms and followed the cat climbing tree’s pillar up. He crawled up with a swish, and in the blink of an eye, was five or six meters up.

Tang Wan panicked, “Da Zhuang! Come back down here!!”

He looked up at the kitten again. He was moving quickly from place to place, his paws hitting each shelf. His movements were graceful and confident. Tang Wan put his hand over his chest, his face pale with fear.

Ji Yan quickly reassured him: “It’s okay, you don’t need to worry. The Young Master can do it. To him, such a thing isn’t demanding. Really, he’s climbed one harder than this.”

Tang Wan was still apprehensive, “Just what kind of school do you go to? Isn’t this mistreating children? This child is normally ambitious, but I didn’t expect that he would go up so high. What do I do if he falls down?!”

Ji Yan paused, not knowing how to answer. He faltered and choked out: “Doesn’t he still have the safety harness?”

The matter of a ten-kilogram child climbing up the adult’s climbing tree quickly spread around. In less than a minute, there were many people circled around and applauding and cheering Zong He on: “Little fellow, you can do it! So amazing!”

“Continue climbing! Don’t be scared!”

“More amazing than adults! What species is he? Too incredible!”

“He’s going up, he’s going up! He’s jumped really high!”

&#k2026;&#k2026;

The more the surrounding people were all lively and eagerly watching, the more nervous Tang Wan became. He wanted to curse at all of the surrounding idiots. It wasn’t your family’s child that was climbing so high, and if he fell down, he still wasn’t your family’s child!

At this time, someone said, “The pattern of this child’s fur looks very familiar.”

“No matter how you look at it, doesn’t he look like Eating, sleeping, and scolding Da Zhuang’s family’s child?”

“Tang Tang’s nephew! That child’s called Da Zhuang!”

Then, many people’s gazes were pulled towards Tang Wan. They looked at his dark eyes and hair, his delicate appearance, and then looked back at the black and gold patterned furry dumpling. An especially enthusiastic girl tilted her head and asked Tang Wan: “Are you ‘Eating, sleeping, and scolding Da Zhuang’?”

Tang Wan expressionlessly shook his head, “No, I don’t know, I don’t recognize it.”

With the successive denials, he managed to persuade the girl and she was too embarrassed to continue to question him.

When he looked at Da Zhuang again, he had already climbed to the highest level, unable to be seen with the naked eye. A flying camera noticed him at this time and quickly rushed over. Everyone could see that the child was calmly sitting in the cat bowl, holding onto the peak’s pillar.

They were all stunned by his leisurely movements. This was a genius!

Tang Wan was almost frightened to death and he angrily yelled: “That little brat!”

Hearing these words, the corners of Ji Yan’s mouth twitched unnaturally.

After leaving a mark at the top with his paw, Zong He, who was sitting at the highest level, prepared to come down. Terrified, Tang Wan watched the image on the monitor. He tremblingly grabbed onto Ji Yan’s wrist. This child, going up was simple, but coming back down was the most difficult thing. If there was a misstep, he’d tumble through the air. His safety should be guaranteed, but what if the child was so frightened that he’d never be able to climb high again?

It was a pleasant surprise, then, when the kitten still jumped from place to place, deftly landing on every level. It was still a touch-and-go; his leaps were tall and went far, and he quickly arrived at the bottom. Even when he landed at the level in front of Tang Wan, he wasn’t panting. He calmly used a paw to push at the harness on his waist, hinting that he wanted to take it off.

Still nervous, Tang Wan held him in his embrace and gave him a smack, “Wasn’t that dangerous? I asked you to come down, so why didn’t you listen to me? In the future, I won’t bring you out to play. If something happens, how would I explain it to your family?”

Zong He rubbed his furry paw pad against Tang Wan’s body. Tang Wan would be explaining it to himself, so he could do it however he wanted to.

Tang Wan was so mad that he wanted to bite the cat, “If you don’t listen to me, I’ll bite your ear!”

Zong He flicked his tail, content. He wasn’t afraid at all.

The surrounding people broke out into enthusiastic applause. Adults hadn’t been able to climb it, but unexpectedly, this child had been able to. An excited staff member also rushed over, “This heroic little warrior! This is a gift from our sponsors! A special reward for climbing to the top!”

Tang Wan held Zong He in his embrace and took a deep breath, calming himself a bit. He politely asked the staff member; “What present?”

The staff member opened the red box and smiled: “A warrior’s medal and a bonus of ten thousand star coins. Take good care of it.”

Tang Wan was pleasantly surprised and rubbed Da Zhuang’s fur. However, he was still unhappy with Da Zhuang, “Fine, Xiao Ji can take it. Thank you to the sponsors.”

After Tang Wan finished speaking, he turned around, wanting to leave. He took advantage of the situation to teach Da Zhuang a lesson: “Don’t think that I can forgive you just because you earned a gift. I’m confiscating the gift because you didn’t listen to me.”

The staff member quickly chased after them, “Please wait, you have to sign as evidence of taking the gift.”

“Oh, okay.” Tang Wan had no choice but to turn around and take the electronic pen the staff member offered him, signing his own name.

The staff member looked down, eyes instantly wide open, “Tang Wan?” He compared it to the designer’s name under the cat climbing tree. It was unexpectedly the same!

“It really is Tang Wan!”

“Eating, sleeping, and scolding Da Zhuang?”

“Oh my god! It really is!”

Tang Wan’s fans knew that his surname was Tang, so they always yelled out ‘Tang Tang’. They hadn’t known until the cat climbing tower came out that it was Eating, sleeping, and scolding Da Zhuang who had designed it when he mentioned it during the live broadcast. Now, they knew that that person was Tang Wan and that feline child was Da Zhuang. It was like Tang Wan’s fans had signal receivers installed onto the tops of their heads, the news passing quickly from person to person, and they were all frantically looking for Tang Wan.

A nice visit to the theme park had turned into a game to look for Tang Wan. Tang Wan’s Weibo had exploded, many fans uploading videos that they had just taken. They pointed at Tang Wan’s nose and asked: Are you this beautiful Asian little big brother? You dared to go out to play, so do you dare to admit it?!

Tang Wan had run away while carrying Da Zhuang, and was eating ice cream in a pavilion. He silently watched the many people below him wandering around. He whispered to Ji Yan: “We have the VIP pass. We don’t have to line up for anything, so even if they see me, they can’t catch me. Do you think they’d be angry? It would be good if they were so angry that their fur fried. If they were so angry that they became bald, do you think they’d blame me?”

Ji Yan: “......”

It was unlikely. They weren’t bald even if you teased them like this; they ought to be used to it.

At this moment in Duke Tang’s residence, Lady Tang received information from the housekeeper about Tang Wan’s day out. She promptly decided: “This is a rare opportunity. If he’s alive, then we’re all dead.”

The old housekeeper’s expression deepened: “If the Duke somehow finds out, he might blame you.”

“Blame me? He’s even more ruthless than I am. I am the stepmother, but he is the biological father. I dare to guarantee that he would kill his own son for the sake of his Dukedom’s honor. He’s afraid of the consequences. He won’t act if he doesn’t investigate the person Tang Yu was with.” Lady Tang, who was pleasant and sweet in front of Duke Tang, had another, haughty, cold, and vicious face when she was in front of the housekeeper. She bitterly said: “But I can’t wait. If he speaks out about such matters, even the Duke won’t let me go. Uncle Lian, since the situation has progressed to this point, we can’t be soft-hearted. I need to consider my own son. At the time, I wasn’t vigilant and the little bastard ran off. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep these past few years. I have nightmares whenever I close my eyes. I dream that he’ll run back and reveal what I had done. I can’t let him go. If not, we would die.”

Tang Lian sighed, especially rough-sounding in his old age, “I’m already so old. Death is not to be regretted. This is the last thing I will do for you. At that time, what I shouldn’t have done was to let you become familiar with Duke Tang. Otherwise, none of this would have happened.”

Lady Tang laughed softly, her laugh gradually becoming more docile and meek, “I know you’re good to me. Mother has already forgiven you for so many years, I also......respect you. Thank you for helping me so much, Father.”

With this “Father”, Tang Lian’s entire body trembled and he closed his murky eyes. He tightened his grip on his cane. His voice was casual but unexpectedly heavy: “Alright, I know.”
