Fast forward to two and a half years old: The villain boss is obsessed with raising cubs

Following Miaomiao's gaze, the neighbors looked over angrily, but after seeing the old emperor clearly, they were all stunned.

"Is this a human trafficker?"

Some people couldn't help but ask questions.

The old man was dressed in silk and satin and had an extraordinary aura. He didn't look like a human trafficker at all.

Miaomiao affirmed: “Yes.”

The first time he was called a human trafficker, the old emperor laughed out of anger.

"Tell me, how come I am a human trafficker."

With an adult around, Miaomiao was very brave and whined, "You said you were my grandfather, but Daddy said my grandfather died a long time ago. If you are not a human trafficker, then what are you?"

Miaomiao is not a stupid kid, she is very smart.

Daddy said that people who lie to children have bad intentions and are human traffickers, so we should stay away from them.

When the old emperor heard the child say that his grandfather was dead, he was so angry that his teeth were itching and his veins were throbbing.

Well, this unfilial son actually said he was dead.

"Did your father really say that?"

"Yes." The child nodded innocently.

"Your father is lying. I am your grandfather and I am alive and well." The old emperor was furious, puffing his beard and glaring.

Miaomiao looked at the old emperor suspiciously, her eyes full of disbelief.

The neighbors saw that the situation seemed to be different from what they had expected, and some of them had already run to Lu's house to find Lu Yanqi.

"Manager Lu, please come quickly. Someone wants to kidnap your baby and says he is the child's grandfather."

At the gate of the Lu family's courtyard, a neighbor shouted at the inside.

Almost instantly, Lu Yanqi ran out of the house when he heard the word "human trafficker".

"What's going on? What human traffickers? How is Miaomiao?"

The neighbor who came to report the news briefly told Lu Yanqi what happened. As they walked away, the neighbor asked, "Manager Lu, is that really your father?"

Lu Yanqi frowned, a guess flashed through his mind, but he quickly denied the idea.

He is the emperor, how could he leave the palace without permission?

"No, my father passed away a long time ago." Lu Yanqi quickened his pace, his expression becoming increasingly grim.

"Brother Song, please help me go to the bookstore and ask for leave."

Lu Yanqi bowed and asked the neighbors for help.

He was supposed to go on duty soon, but because of the emergency, he couldn't go and had to ask for leave.

Song Dali waved his hand: "It's nothing to bother you. We are all neighbors. Go and see the kids. I'll ask for leave for you."

It's inevitable that neighbors will bother each other.

When Lu Yanqi arrived, the neighbors and the old emperor were facing each other, and Miaomiao, the little coward, was hiding in the arms of Lotus Mother.

"Miao Miao, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Without bothering to see who the "human trafficker" opposite was, Lu Yanqi nervously held the little guy in his arms, and checked Miaomiao from head to toe with trembling hands. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that the little guy was not injured.

Miaomiao hugged her father and comforted him: "Daddy, don't be afraid. Miaomiao is fine."

The kid even turned around to show that he was fine now.

"Manager Lu, that man said it was your father, go and see if it's true."

Lotus Lady pointed at the old emperor opposite her, completely unaware that she was referring to the most honorable and most unoffensive person in the world.

Only then did Lu Yanqi see clearly who was standing opposite him.

His pupils trembled slightly. He didn't expect that it was really him.

He thought that when the emperor issued an edict to demote him to a commoner, it would be the last time he and his father would see each other in this life.

The old emperor looked at his son whom he had not seen for several months, and his emotions were complicated. Guilt and anger intertwined. His lips trembled, and he was about to say sorry when he saw the little thing in his son's arms muttering furtively:

"Dad, he's a liar, right?"

This little noise immediately reminded the old emperor of what the little guy had just said, that he was dead, and his anger suddenly flared up.

"Too... ridiculous. You know best whether I am a liar or not, Yan Qi."

Taking back the question that the prince had blurted out, the old emperor asked in a deep voice with a gloomy face.

He'd better answer honestly. If he doesn't, he will be in trouble.

The old emperor stared at Lu Yanqi threateningly.

Miaomiao raised her face and blinked her eyes.

The neighbors were also very curious: "Is it true?"

Under the gazes of the crowd, Lu Yanqi's throat tightened. He nodded, his voice barely audible: "...Yes."

Seeing Lu Yanqi nod and acknowledge his identity, the old emperor was satisfied. He looked at the little thing in his son's arms and said proudly: "Now you know, I am your grandfather."

Miaomiao looked at the old emperor suspiciously.

This old man doesn't look as good-looking as dad.

But since Daddy has said so, no matter how much doubt the little guy has in his heart, he can only accept his fate honestly.

"Okay then." The little fat boy said reluctantly.

Knowing that the old emperor was not a human trafficker, even though they were very curious why Miaomiao didn't recognize her own grandfather, and what kind of conflict there was between Shopkeeper Lu and his son, but seeing that Shopkeeper Lu and his family still had something to say, the neighbors could only suppress their curiosity and dispersed in twos and threes.

The crowd dispersed. The old emperor was dissatisfied with Miaomiao's attitude and said sternly: "What should you call me now?"

Miaomiao scratched her fingers, smiled and said in a baby voice: "Hello, Grandpa."

Miaomiao is still very respectful to the elderly and loving the young. Just now she thought the old emperor was a human trafficker, but now that she knows this man is her grandfather, she naturally behaves herself.

The little guy is well taken care of by his father. He has a round and chubby face, like a white and tender glutinous rice dumpling. When he smiles, the baby fat on both sides of his cheeks form round arcs, which is very lovable, especially to elderly people.

The old emperor already liked this little granddaughter who suddenly appeared. Now seeing Miaomiao smiling at him so softly, even the coldest heart could only melt into a pool of spring water.

Touching the things on his body, the old emperor did not expect that he would reveal his identity to Miaomiao on an impulse. He did not have any valuables on him, so he finally took off the jade ring he was carrying and gave it to Miaomiao.

"This is a gift for you. Keep it. I'll find you something good when I get back."

Anything that the old emperor can carry with him is certainly not an ordinary thing.

The jade ring was smooth and translucent. Lu Yanqi recognized that it was one of the relics left to his father by the late emperor. His father had always cherished it and always kept it with him.

"No..."

"Needless to say, I, your father, have never taken back anything I gave away."

Seeing that Lu Yanqi wanted to say something else, the old emperor raised his hand impatiently and blocked Lu Yanqi from saying anything else.

Since the matter had been laid bare, the old emperor followed Lu Yanqi back to their current small courtyard.

The old emperor looked up and down the courtyard and was not satisfied with anything about it. He couldn't help but find fault: "Yan Qi, how can you live in such a simple place? And with a child?"

How could his prince live in such a place?

Lu Yanqi looked indifferent: "I am just a commoner. It is a great blessing to have a place to stay. I am terrified to pollute your majesty's eyes."

Every word of the common people hit the old emperor's pain points directly.
