One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love-Chapter 752 - 750: Feeling Strange

Lan Yuzhe had a smile on his face, a mix of joy and sorrow. He reached out and patted the woman’s head, speaking like an elder, "Song Song, you’ve truly grown up."

She could see his intentions, hadn’t she indeed grown up?

No matter when she figured it out, the fact was she had.

He asked himself honestly, he had never truly revealed such intentions to anyone, believing he had hidden them well. Feng Yichen was like Zhang Wannian, keeping his thoughts hidden, but his loyalty to Taohuawu was always on display.

And then there was Bai Jiayin, a noisy person who occasionally criticized the survival rules at Taohuawu, but everyone knew he would never leave and would never be a traitor.

As for him, he was a carefree person, always acting at ease with the situation.

Yet, in this state, he was surprised—even a little girl saw through his intentions.

Song Song understood that what he said was tacit acknowledgment, so she no longer needed to ask about many things, like whether he might have provided Xiao Jinghuai with Taohuawu’s location, or if he intended to use Xiao Jinghuai as a blade to dismantle Taohuawu.

Even if Xiao Jinghuai couldn’t achieve it, at least it would cause some chaos at Taohuawu.

Once chaos ensued, things would be easier to handle afterward.

"... Third Master, what exactly is your goal?"

Song Song had actually imagined such a day, but never expected that person would be Third Master. In her eyes, the first one likely to rebel should have been the First Master.

Because the First Master was hard to see through, and those who are hard to see through are often more ambitious.

Lan Yuzhe smiled gently, "Song Song, you should know I’ve never liked being restrained, but who at Taohuawu isn’t a caged bird, including you... as well."

"A caged bird?" Song Song furrowed her brows, "Are you saying Madam is forcing you all to stay there?"

Lan Yuzhe chuckled, not answering directly, "Song Song, you are still too naive, always thinking too kindly of people. Haven’t you noticed that your mother became... different after returning to Taohuawu?"

"You should know that she once fought to the death to leave, but didn’t she try to persuade you when you came back this time?"

"..." Song Song did remember this, but she hadn’t thought much about it. At the time, she felt that with Uncle Huo and her father by her mother’s side, she might not long for the outside world anymore.

Now thinking back, it was indeed a bit odd—

The bathroom was silent for a while before Song Song spoke again, "Third Master, let’s go back now, I’m worried about Xiao Jinghuai, very worried." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"No." Lan Yuzhe showed a rare severe expression, even with a touch of anger, "Don’t add to the chaos. If you go back, Xiao Jinghuai will have concerns, understand? You are his biggest worry."

Song Song suddenly found it ironic; not long ago, they were discussing having Lan Yuzhe take the two children into Taohuawu, but now the situation had developed like this—

"I won’t cause trouble, at least I won’t hold anyone back!"

Lan Yuzhe coldly criticized, "You can’t do it. There are your closest kin, and if it really comes to that point, are you sure you can be indifferent and ruthless?"

"Song Song, don’t deceive yourself. Even if the old monster has ill intentions towards you, you definitely won’t be able to lay a hand on him."

"So, since it’s like this, if there’s someone taking care of those messy things for you, why get involved in that dirty water?"

"..."

Song Song stared blankly at the man in front of her, suddenly feeling she didn’t recognize him.

Was this... really the gentle Third Master she knew?
