Chapter 76

Lu Wei: "Since Danjiao is here, then—"

His Majesty the Dog, without mercy: "He still has his duties to attend to."

As if anticipating what Lu Wei was about to say, the dog king interrupted him directly.

Lu Danjiao: !?

Pang Qiu had just found his father when he was about to be taken away once more.

"No!"

The canine monarch gazed at him with his dark eyes, "Have you forgotten what I said? The crown prince is very busy."

To further discourage Pang Qiu, he emphasized the word 'very' even more.

Lu Danjiao gritted his teeth, "I don't want to be one."

If one didn't work out, there was always another.

The Canine Majesty smiled. "You still have one more show to record."

A Young Cub's Great Invention!

Danjiao suddenly remembered that he still had tasks to attend to on Satar and hadn't switched back with Agent Two yet.

As if expecting his return, the devil looked down at him from above with an air of superiority.

Lu Danjiao: "H-How did you know?"

The devil casually patted his head. "Mm, I knew."

Lu Wei felt reassured seeing the loving and filial scene between father and son.

He had previously worried that Little Fat Ball wouldn't be accustomed to it or that the Canine Majesty would go into a frenzy.

One large, one small.

Placing the two side by side was akin to comparing the original with a scaled version. The difference lay in the fact that the larger one appeared more relaxed and somewhat fiercer, whereas the smaller one had big, round eyes that diminished its perceived aggression.

Lu Wei supported his chin, remarking, "From this perspective, you two do resemble each other quite a bit."

The Canine Majesty curled the corners of his mouth upward.

Lu Danjiao: "…"

Pang Qiu's young heart shattered repeatedly as he protested, "I resemble Dad."

Lu Wei laughed heartily, "Indeed, my offspring would definitely resemble me."

Lu Danjiao's mood improved slightly.

But would a devil let him be content?

The wicked devil whispered mischievously, "The Invention Tournament for Young Offsprings is starting tomorrow."

Danjiao: Sobs.

Lu Wei asked, "You registered for the division in System B, is it Emperor Star?"

Danjiao shook his head. "It's a neighboring planet."

Lu Danjiao hadn't forgotten that his buddy Agent Number Two was still waiting for him over there. Clenching his tiny pink fists, he exclaimed, "Daddy, I'll be back soon!"

Before his beloved father could respond, His Majesty the Devil butted in,

"Father can accompany you."

Lu Danjiao: Who, wants, your, company!

This title pierced the little boy's fragile heart like a sharp needle.

Sob sob.

Nightmares had come true.

Lu Danjiao glared at him with hostility.

The Emperor lowered his voice, a challenge seemingly visible even to a tiny creature like Pang Qiu in his eyes: "Don't you want to see how Huo Nian is doing there?"

"..." As expected, he knew everything.

Devils were known for their decisiveness. He immediately lifted the child's neck, making Danjiao struggle wildly.

Lu Wei approached in a few quick steps: "Don't grab my brother by the back of his neck like that. He's still young."

The Dog Emperor's eyes narrowed instantly: "You've never called me that before?"

Lu Wei: "....Damn it."

Lu Wei: "Is that really the point? The kid is still young, why do you keep grabbing him by the neck!"

The Dog Emperor remained expressionless: "That is the point."

Lu Wei's tolerance had reached its limit for the day.

"That's not the damn point! What did that little kid do to you? He's only two and a half years old, his neck is fragile. If you hurt him, I won't let you off!"

The royal dog was even more fired up, his dark pupils piercing. "How do you plan to keep this going?"

Lu Wei: "..."

His voice was icy cold. "Speak."

Indeed, the man's mental state couldn't be considered stable, and it likely worsened after he had been discarded.

This was reflected in various aspects. For instance, a certain sentence might suddenly trigger him, causing him to dwell on trivial matters in an obsessive manner.

Lu Danjiao, who had witnessed the entire scene, was utterly disheartened about his future.

Lu Danjiao experienced his twenty-third heartbreak of the day.

His beloved father was now neglecting him in favor of someone else.

Little Fatty Pang dared not imagine how bitter his life would become.

"Take him away," the royal dog nodded at the adjutant, instructing him to remove Little Fatty Pang from the room.

The adjutant, of course, was eager to escape the tense battlefield and, without another word, swiftly scooped up Danjiao to leave.

Danjiao seized the opportunity to glance at Lu Wei, his determination to rescue him from this place unwavering.

Now, with the adjutant and the young Pang Qiu gone, only he and the Dog Emperor were left.

The Dog Emperor stared at him expressionlessly, veins pulsing subtly on his forehead.

Lu Wei found himself trying to understand why the emperor was angry.

—Ah, it seemed to be because he had spoken up in defense of Brother Danjiao?

Although as a mature man, he was logically in the right, for some reason, seeing the emperor's expression made his heart ache.

After a long moment, Lu Wei managed to say, "Don't intimidate me here."

Upon finishing his words, the Earthling was himself astonished that he had just casually blurted out a coquettish line.

Seriously?

But...

It was shameful to act coquettish, yet it was effective.

The Canine Emperor's expression softened a bit. "Don't act coquettish."

Lu Wei's face flushed with anger. "I-I didn't! I wasn't!"

The Canine Emperor gazed into his eyes. "You prefer someone else more."

Lu Wei: ????

"No, I don't? Who?"

The Canine Emperor replied, "You didn't think of me first."

The other party was not self-aware of being unreasonable but rather seemed somewhat agitated.

Lu Wei found it hard to put into words.

Anyway, the person's expression appeared anxious, as if trapped in something.

It made his chest feel slightly stifled.

His Majesty the Dog lifted a hand to hold his chin, stubbornly repeating,

"You can't think of the little one first. We agreed on that before."

Lu Wei didn't have the heart to say he didn't remember: "Okay, okay, we agreed."

Whether or not the other party could tell he was being evasive, there was still a trace of frustration between their brows.

They said, "Then you should call me that too."

Lu Wei: ...?

Like that?

Which way?

It was precisely when he called Lu Danjiao "Big Brother."

Who the hell calls an adult male "Big Brother"?!

Damn it!

The expression on His Majesty's face darkened in an instant, clearly conveying: You don't love me anymore.

Lu Wei felt a sharp pang in his heart just from watching.

The problem was, his fiery chili pepper brother also had his pride.

He'd lived on Earth for over twenty years, traveling far and wide without ever asking anyone for help. He was a man who could handle any hard labor himself... It was impossible for him to genuinely call his partner "Big Brother" and engage in such shameful behavior!

Lu Wei opened his mouth several times but couldn't bring himself to utter such a playful, b-style nickname.

A soft scoff escaped the canine monarch's lips, darkening his pupils even more.

His voice was tepid as he replied, "You've forgotten that I'm aware."

Lu Wei: "Wait..."

Lu Wei tried to calm himself down, taking a few deep breaths.

As soon as he formed the words with his lips, his voice failed him.

The Earthling felt every single cell in his body rebel against using that title.

He just couldn't bring himself to say it, damn it!

This attempt clearly provoked the simmering darkness within the canine monarch.

His eyes took on a reddish tinge before he closed them, massaging his temples.

It was evident that he had become agitated.

To Lu Wei, it felt like a trivial matter, but it was the spark that shattered the already fragile balance.

Perhaps fearing that his emotions might affect him, His Majesty the Dog fell silent for a moment before leaving.

He left.

That overly affectionate dog emperor, who loved to rub against him, had departed without any such gesture.

Highly unusual.

Now, he was all alone in the courtyard.

Lu Wei let out a sigh, feeling as though his emotions had drifted away with the wind.

Perhaps before his amnesia, he had genuinely fallen for a man.

A stubborn and mentally unstable one, at that.

Damn it.

Well, he had to admit his defeat.

Lu Wei, you're truly done for. You've fallen in love with a madman to the point of empathizing with him.

Lu Wei threw himself onto the bed and tried hard to close his eyes, reminiscing.

However, it didn't work out as planned. He couldn't recall anything.

In the evening, the servants still came on time to clean up.

Following their orders, they always tried to avoid contact with him and kept silent around him whenever possible.

Lu Wei had no choice but to initiate conversation himself.

He remembered that there was still a child here.

Previously, they talked about the Runaway Sweetheart leaving behind the domineering CEO and their child.

Now, how ironic.

The runaway sweetheart turns out to be himself.

Then who is this "child" raised by the royal family?

He speculated that after His Majesty the Dog lost his beloved, he went mad and adopted someone for self-comfort or to appease the gossip within the royal family.

Of course, it was also possible that the child was from another relative of the royal family and had been taken in for adoption.

After all, such scenarios where a childless heir adopts a relative's child to succeed the throne were common in TV dramas.

Lu Wei couldn't directly ask His Majesty the Dog about this, especially since the latter tended to become agitated easily. Thus, he could only approach others indirectly.

When the servant who came to clean heard this, he hesitated,

"The young prince?"

He thought to himself: This nameless outsider, who seems to be the prospective queen, is starting an investigation into the young prince.

The servant stammered, unsure whether to speak up or not.

Despite the boldness of the question, Lu Wei decided to ask straightforwardly, "Is His Majesty his biological father?"

The servant bowed respectfully and replied, "Yes, Young Master is His Majesty's own flesh and blood."

Lu Wei was filled with confusion and muttered softly, "Another child born from the Dog Emperor? Did the Dog Emperor have another with someone else?"

However, Lu Wei quickly dismissed this speculation.

Considering the other party's obsession with him, such a possibility was incredibly slim.

A more eccentric idea began to surface in his mind:

Could it be... twins??

Lu Wei nearly choked on his water.

Ordinary people might not think of this, but Lu Wei was no ordinary person.

Ever since he returned to Emperor Star, he had a vague sense of a memory lurking within him.

It felt as though there was quite a sizeable belly involved.

In his memories, someone was pregnant with a significantly large belly, not the size one would typically expect for a single child.

Moreover, he vaguely recalled meeting them in another form before birth, and they appeared as two distinct beings.

This precisely matched the two children they now had.

Lu Wei took a deep breath. "Are you absolutely sure they're my biological children?"

The servant looked down at his toes, presumably concocting thoughts in his mind, but still replied obediently, "Yes, there's no possibility of error."

Lu Wei cursed inwardly.

If his speculation were true, that meant he had given birth to twins.

And then each of them ended up taking care of one??

How absurd.

The mere thought of such a possibility sent Lu Wei's mind reeling, almost to the point of combustion.

After failing to soothe His Canine Majesty, was there now an even more explosive revelation?
