After I became a real young master, I became famous for my bad behavior

Just as Sheen turned to leave, the Duke paused for some reason.

"and many more."

The Duke's words made Sheen stop.

"Repented?"

Sheen stopped and turned to look at the Duke - what tricks was he planning to play at this point?

......

"I'm your father, why don't you call me 'father'?"

When Xien heard such a greeting, he was stunned for a moment.

The novel mentions:

The Duke knew that Sheen would never call him "Dad" because when he was a child, he never called the old Duke "Dad", but only "Father".

But Xien...didn't even call him "Father", just "Your Excellency the Duke".

And I heard from the servants that Sheen called him just Duke to the outside world.

"Hmm..." Sheen didn't know how to answer.

The Duke paused, and thought he would add something more:

"At least in terms of blood relationship, you can only exist because of me. It's true that I am your father."

"what?"

Sheen turned his head towards the Duke, his eyes half open.

"Because what you do is not like my father.

How could another father say that he would take his child back as a collateral relative..."

The weird thing is, after saying this, the ooc pop-up warning disappeared.

(What?)

When the Duke heard this, he was visibly stunned.

Sheen completely ignored the Duke's restless expression and continued to add:

"I don't think His Excellency the Duke would care about this little thing, because..."

"You value your family's reputation more than family harmony, right?"

Of course, Sean (Jiaming) doesn't think the Duke can't be a good father:

At least towards Xilun, the Duke gave him all his tenderness.

To outsiders, the uncle and nephew have formed a special father-son relationship.

But knowing that Xi Lun is not his biological son...

When Sheen thought about this, he felt that the Duke's scumbag father was really not worth it.

what.

I almost forgot, isn't it for the family's reputation that Xi Lun was chosen to replace the heir?

(I don't have any expectations for this guy anyway)

When Sean said this, he put his hands on his hips and sighed in a pretended regret:

"Let me be frank, Your Excellency the Duke. I have only been here for a short time and I can see that the relationship between you and Xi Lun is a true father-son relationship...

"I'm staying here just to watch someone else take my place? Then what's the point of me staying here?"

"Why don't you just continue to protect your beloved Xi Lun, and I won't get involved."

......

The Duke pursed his lips and looked down at Sheen. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke:

“You think I favor Xi Lun more, but there is no way around it.

"He has been with me for so many years, I really treat him as my own child."

The Duke never thought that Sheen would appear in his world.

He paused, feeling that something was wrong, and added,

"But my blood flows in your veins."

Sheen sat five meters away from him, quietly watching the Duke move himself.

The Duke nodded and poured half a cup of strong tea from the black and white teapot beside him.

This is what he drinks to refresh himself when he is working on official business until late at night, or to relieve his worries when he is in a bad mood.

......

Xien used silence to hide his dissatisfaction (what a joke, I came from a book)——

You favor the fake and say there's nothing you can do about it. You deserved to die so miserably in the original work!

"It seems that we have to make the Duke completely disappointed in Xiren. Then replace him."

This is the style of a villain (little devil mentality up.GIF)!

“Isn’t this answer too perfunctory?”

Sheen muttered.

"Um..."

The Duke held the teacup in his left hand and looked down at the tea:

"I'll warn Alex not to bring Xiren here during this period. You and him really need a few days of cooling off period."

Xien put his hands in his pockets: Are you trying to make Xilun suffer in order to ease the relationship between him and me?

I have said something like "Either he or I, or I or he."

"It's getting late. I'm going back, Your Excellency. Remember to do what you promised."

Sheen did not give the Duke any room to maneuver and leave——

Because readers feel bored when they see the Duke's expression of "belated love".

Click.

The door was closed again.

After Sheen left, the Duke sat at his desk and pondered for a long time.

Only the ticking sound of the quartz clock hanging in the study makes this place seem less lonely.

The Duke recalled the Emperor's words:

"For the future of the empire, the true and legitimate young master must inherit the title and the fake and legitimate young master must be killed."

"The Haines family should consider the overall situation, right?"

The Duke couldn't help but drink some strong tea, and lowered his head to think:

"(Is the oracle really so heartless that it told me that I can only keep one of them?)"

The Duke thought of the smiling face of Alex when he held the swaddling baby in front of him not long after Xiren was born.

At that time, Alex also said, "My brother has no male heir, so naturally I can make concessions and give my child to you for adoption."

The lord still showed the fox mask when he looked at the Duke.

The young Duke looked at Xilun, who was still young but had wide eyes. His eyes were full of spirit, as if he was full of curiosity about the world.

The Duke agreed.

Thinking about it now, those once bright eyes seemed to have lost the desire to explore long ago.

"Ugh..."

The Duke closed his eyes and shook his head.

"It would be nice if one of them didn't show up here."

......

Xien returned to the castle, walked into the room and sat on the 500-square-meter bed.

He looked at the translucent red warning pop-ups that had not been closed and popped up in front of him.

They all write the same content:

Beep, beep, beep! (Warning sound)

"OOC warning: Please follow the character settings of the bound character!"

There are two options below: Got it / Ignore reminder

The "Ignore Reminder" button had already been selected by the system, so it did not have much impact on the negotiations with the Duke this time.

But this made Sheen feel uncomfortable at all:

Imagine that when you are playing games on your computer, you see external automatic pop-up windows blocking your next operation, and a failed operation results in "game over". How can you feel at ease?

Sheen couldn't stand it anymore and tried to call the system:

"System, are you infected with a virus? Why can't I close these pop-ups?"

Sheen clicked the "close button" in the upper right corner of the translucent display, but the pop-up window kept appearing again after he closed it, which made him feel itchy.

After repeating this several times, he got tired of it.

“I don’t have a virus!”

Xien raised his head and looked upward in the direction where the voice came from:

Good guy!

The system bunny doll possessed by the original Xien was floating in front of the WeChat computer with strings of codes running around, typing something.

It keeps saying "Docmd.Close." in the code writing area, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Access?

Sheen looked up and observed for a long time.

"Ahhh, why is this damn system so red and yellow when it runs into my computer?"

The system folded its rabbit ears to express its annoyance.

"Run into the computer! Whose system did you copy?"

Sheen only realized it later.

"I'm using a pirated system??"
