Fu Qing was concerned when he noticed Little Treasure looking sad early that morning. “What’s with the long face, Little Treasure? Are you okay, buddy?” she inquired.
The little boy’s lips were pursed, and he was trying his hardest not to cry. “My parents have discovered where I’m staying and want to bring me home.”
Fu Qing was a bit surprised for a moment before managing a delighted laugh. “It’s only natural that they want you back. They’re your parents, and you’ve been gone for so long. They must have been worried the entire time. Don’t you miss your family?”
Little Treasure moaned his displeasure. “Not at all. Why should they be upset? They went to Europe on their own and left me at home alone, claiming I was too hyper for the trip. So I ran away from home on purpose to provoke them and see how they would react.”
“Huh? Are you serious?” Fu Qing was at a loss for words. “Are your parents arriving today? Who was looking after you the whole time they were gone?”
“I have a nanny, but when her child became ill, so I had to let her go back to take care of her son. I assured her that I would be fine by myself because there was plenty of food and drinks at home, and that my parents would be home soon, so she was relieved and left.”
“They’ve really been inconsiderate. You’re such a sweet and thoughtful person,” Fu Qing sighed and smiled. “I’m looking forward to meeting your parents soon. I’d like to get to know them and ask their permission to take you as my godson. I’m hoping we can dine together one of these days.”
Little Treasure giggled and clapped his hands in glee as he said, “Sure! That’s great!”
“If you will, please take your seats and be comfortable.”
Zhan Cheng and Li Ying were welcomed to the private room on the second floor of Golden Jade restaurant by Fu Qing. “I strongly recommend this restaurant’s sweet and sour pompano fish and grilled lamb chops. They are the bestsellers here. You must have a try.”
Li Ying assessed the hotel’s lavish and sophisticated décor. When she realized how expensive everything on the menu was, she felt bitter in her heart and instinctively changed her tone.
“This time, you and Zhan Qi made a lot of money. It must have cost you a lot to treat us to dinner in such a classy restaurant.”
“Please don’t take it to heart. It’s nothing, really. We hope you will enjoy this meal.”
Li Ying caught a glimpse of Small Treasure trailing Fu Qing from the corner of her eye. She raised her voice and knit her brows, as if astonished. “Who is that little boy?”
“Qi and I passed by him on the highway. He’s been staying in our house for a few days now, but his parents are returning today, so I invited them to join us for dinner.”
Fu Qing had just finished talking when her phone rang. “If you’ll excuse me, I’ll have to take this call. It’s his parents.” Fu Qing grinned after answering. “They’re here. I’ll go to the door and get them. Come with me, Little Treasure.”
Fu Qing had no idea that Li Ying had followed her down to the ground floor. She noticed Fu Qing approaching a young couple in the bar area.
“Hi, are you Little Treasure’s parents?”
With a warm smile on her face, Fu Qing asked the attractive man in front of her.
“It’s nice to finally meet you,” Luo Ying said as he extended his hand to shake hers. “I’m glad Mr. Zhan was able to contact me. He mentioned that Little Treasure was staying at your house and that you’ve been taking great care of him. My wife and I are relieved to know that he’s been in good hands. My little boy didn’t cause you any problems during his stay there, did he?”
Fu Qing couldn’t help but grumble inwardly.
‘No wonder you weren’t in a hurry to cut your trip short and return home when you found that your son was missing! It turns out that you were well aware of his presence at my home from the start.’
Despite this, she remained polite and courteous to the couple. “Your son is smart and adorable, and he knows how to brighten my day with his cute remarks and actions every day. Anyway, why don’t you join us upstairs and continue chatting there? The place is already filling up.”

Little Treasure dashed over and threw himself into the open arms of the young man. “Daddy, big sister is a wonderful person. She took me to this huge venue filled with lots of games and even bought me some tasty snacks and cool toys.”
When Li Ying noticed Fu Qing turning around, she quickly stowed her phone and went back to the private room.
As they walked, Little Treasure’s father inquired, “Where is Mr. Zhan? Is he joining us?”
“Unfortunately, he has some business matters to attend to today. However, his second brother, along with his wife, is here, and I’ll be introducing you to them shortly.”
They eventually made it to the second floor. Fu Qing immediately introduced Little Treasure’s parents to Zhan Cheng and Li Ying..
