"Mhm." Chu Lingzhi acknowledged indifferently. Whoever became king had nothing to do with her.
Chu Junyu continued, "With Nangong Yehen's skills, the city lord of K City definitely wouldn't dare to touch him. I believe soon he'll take over K City and become the first ruler to unify the three cities in history."
"You seem very interested in this Nangong Yehen?" Chu Lingzhi walked over and sat down beside Chu Junyu.
"It's admiration, Mom. You don't know—he's an incredibly charismatic man. Five years ago, he was defeated by his rivals, but he managed to make a comeback in just five years, wiping out his enemies and becoming more than just the king of two cities. His Kais International has also become a business empire. I think he's the most amazing person in the world." Chu Junyu raised his thumb, his young face full of admiration.
Chu Lingzhi glanced at him sideways. "Even if he's the king of the martial world, he hasn't given you a single brick or tile. Why do you admire him?"
"I told you, woman, your vision is just too shallow." Chu Junyu patted his forehead in exasperation, looking at Chu Lingzhi with disdain. "All you ever think about is how to swindle people out of their money."
"You little brat, what swindling? I use my intelligence to earn money, and I earn it with a clear conscience. Besides, if I didn't make money, could I have raised you to be so chubby and fair?"
Chu Junyu looked down at his own small frame. Fair, yes—but where was the chubby part?
He looked up, his expression turning arrogant. "Right now, Nangong Yehen is the king. In twenty years, I'll be the king."
Seeing his cocky, overbearing attitude, Chu Lingzhi couldn't help but laugh. She patted his little thigh and said, "Sweetie, go wash up and go to bed. Stop daydreaming."
Chu Lingzhi stood up. She was going to sleep and wasn't going to entertain this kid's fantasies.
As she reached the door of the room, Chu Junyu suddenly called out to her, "Mom, Nangong Yehen is really handsome. He's super cool."
Chu Lingzhi turned around, raising an eyebrow at Chu Haoxuan. "And then?"
Chu Junyu gave a sweet smile. "I wish he were my dad."
"Go wash up and go to bed." This kid.
...
This was a villa as magnificent as a palace, sitting like a cheetah in the center of an estate spanning 150 acres!
The estate featured grassy slopes, a lake, a swimming pool, and rockeries, with excellent landscaping and beautiful scenery.
The villa's exterior was decorated like a palace, while the interior was luxuriously ornate, adorned with antiques and famous paintings throughout.
The furniture, lighting, sculptures, and carpets were all the most expensive in the world.
Nangong Yehen, dressed in a sharp suit, appeared in the castle-like living room.
He stood silently in the center of the room, exuding an aura of kingly authority that could shake the world. His imposing figure and strikingly handsome face bore a faint, bloodthirsty smirk.
They definitely hadn't expected that five years later, he, Nangong Yehen, would show up here.
"Master." At that moment, Nangong Yehen's personal bodyguard, Huo Luan, strode in and stood respectfully behind him.
Nangong Yehen turned his head, glanced at Huo Luan, then walked to the sofa and sat down in a comfortable position.
Leaning back, he crossed his long legs, radiating a deadly laziness.
Huo Luan stepped forward and presented the stack of documents in his hands.
Nangong Yehen took them and leisurely flipped through them.
When he reached a photo of a mother and son, he paused.
Looking at the boy's bright, smiling face in the picture, a barely perceptible warmth flickered in his cold, deep eyes.
