Bringing the Little Crown Prince on a Parenting Reality Show — I'm Cleared of All Scandals! Chapter 56: Second Shoot

The boy covered his neck with both hands, gasping for breath. He had indeed thought of death and even acted on it, thinking it would be over in an instant.

He wouldn’t have to live in such a miserable state anymore.

Who would have thought, just monts ago, when soone was strangling him, he felt incredibly close to the god of death.

After recovering for quite a while, he looked up at the man in front of him. He was tall and handso, with sharp jawlines and piercing black eyes. The boy couldn’t help but backpedal, this man looked terrifying, "What do you want to do?"

"Nothing." Xiao Yu’an saw that he had appreciated the value of life and couldn’t be bothered to lecture him.

He simply walked away.

Yet he heard the boy behind him shout hoarsely, "People like you have never experienced our pain, you’re rich and handso, surely you have crowds of girls around you, do you know how we live?"

Xiao Yu’an paused, slowly turned around, his lashes drooping as he looked at him both fearful and wanting to vent his anger, it was quite amusing.

He indeed loved the people, and the soldiers, but was skilled at killing.

The number of souls lost at his hands was unknown, why did these people think they could bully him, could it be because he respected the peaceful and prosperous tis?

Xiao Yu’an was about to speak when he suddenly received a ssage from Mu Ran.

"Kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss~~~"

With three kissing emoticons, Xiao Yu’an’s gloomy mood was instantly lifted. He looked at the waste on the ground who dared to impotently rage at him and said with a smile, "Indeed, my girlfriend is amazing, talented, wealthy, and beautiful, I truly can’t empathize with your feelings."

He did feel sorry for this person.

But the person seed ntally unwell, so he let it go.

The lost puppy standing in the wind was bewildered, is this what rich people do?!

He’s so miserable now, his girlfriend cheated on him, shouldn’t these people be helping him? Damn it!!!

If they weren’t going to help, why did they save him in the first place?

If it weren’t for the fact that this man looked expensive, and he was afraid of him finding a lawyer, he would have demanded money from him.

So what if they saved him, if he had just smashed his head, gone to his girlfriend, she’d certainly feel more sorry for him.

Even if the girlfriend didn’t care.

Others around would feel sorry!

That way his girlfriend would always be his.

Damn it, ruining his plan!!!

Xiao Yu’an returned to the dormitory, the single dorms at the school weren’t bad, at least better than the decades he spent in the frontier.

The dorm had a small balcony, with potted plants, and two chairs and a table placed on it. Xiao Yu’an went to the balcony, pulled open a chair, and sat down, gazing into the distance at the towering buildings that t his eye.

He admitted he couldn’t quickly integrate into the modern world.

People here clearly have enough to eat and wear, yet they seem anxious, anxious to find a lover, anxious to find a sense of belonging, anxious to find a stable future.

He was also anxious, anxious to prove his existence.

But what is the aning of it, he also didn’t know.

So far, he only knew to study business well, to put the Xiao Family’s money into the military, and to places useful for the country.

That way, he could have so sense of belonging to the modern tis.

Xiao Yu’an closed his eyes, then opened them again.

He unlocked his phone and looked at the screensaver, a picture of a delicate and elegantly dressed little child, smiling slightly at the cara.

That was Xiao Jin.

The Daqi Crown Prince.

His nephew.

Xiao Yu’an went to reply to Mu Ran’s ssage, "Are you still busy now?"

Mu Ran was eating, so she replied in seconds, "I’m having dinner now, but I’ll be busy later, what about you, what are you doing?"

Xiao Yu’an: "Studying, learning business."

Mu Ran: "Impressive."

Xiao Yu’an: "It’s alright, I’m going on a blind date today, do you want to join?"

Mu Ran slowed down her eating as she read this ssage, then imdiately called, her tone cold and calm, "A blind date?"

Even though they were so far apart, Xiao Yu’an could feel her oppressive presence. If he dared to nod, she’d definitely break up with him!

"I didn’t agree to go."

Mu Ran’s smile blood instantly, "Nice, great job."

Pampered by her like a child, Xiao Yu’an also gave a gentle smile.

The call fell into silence, Mu Ran asked, "Are you in a bad mood?"

"...a little."

"Why?"

"I feel like I don’t have any dreams anymore."

Xiao Yu’an gazed towards the horizon where he could barely make out the planes flying by, a world he never dared to imagine, so fantastical and beautiful.

Yet he couldn’t find any aning to it.

Mu Ran stopped what she was doing, walked to a place with no people, and said slowly, "I don’t know what you’re going through, and I can’t give you much comfort face-to-face, but if you’re willing, I can be your listener."

Xiao Yu’an tilted his neck back slightly, his eyes stinging a little.

"I don’t lack anything, it’s just aningless, my forr self had a grand dream, worked hard, gave it my all, it turned to bubbles, right now, I don’t know why I’m alive."

Hearing his words, Mu Ran felt he was having so psychological issues, but she wasn’t good at comforting people, so she just wanted to listen quietly.

But, Xiao Yu’an rely said, "It’s not trendy to vent bad emotions now, so I won’t tell you."

"No worries, they’re just bad emotions, everyone has them, I have a whole bunch every day, so in the morning, I silently chant the earth’s destruction, since I can’t make the earth love , I’ll destroy the world, whoever makes unhappy, I’ll curse them 800 tis, maybe you can’t do it, you’re quite high-quality, doesn’t matter, next ti we et, if you dislike soone, I’ll curse them until they want to take a detour at the sight of you," Mu Ran said.

Xiao Yu’an: "..."

It’s absurd, but suddenly he didn’t feel bad.

"You’re quite amazing."

"Haha, yes. So are you, don’t impose so many shackles on yourself, having a dream is great, but if not, going with the flow can also be a kind of happiness. Living grandly is wonderful, but so is living plainly. Your life is your own, don’t be sad, my heart aches for you." Mu Ran ended with a sweet talk.

Xiao Yu’an got goosebumps all over.

It always felt difficult to have a proper conversation with her.

But his mood was unprecedentedly good, "I’ll wait for you to co back and curse people for ."

"Okay, just wait!" Mu Ran put forth her bold declaration.

After hanging up, Mu Ran asked for his dorm address and ordered a cake to be delivered to the dormitory door.

Xiao Yu’an unpacked it and saw it was a cake.

The cake was simple, but there was a hug design on top, Xiao Yu’an stared at the cake for a long ti, his eyes full of laughter. What should he do, he seems to like Mu Ran more and more?

A person so strong, showing a cold face to everyone, but comforting him, preparing small surprises, who wouldn’t be moved?

In the ti he hadn’t had contact with Mu Ran, he’d watched her interviews and the variety shows with Xiao Jin.

She seed just as she said, living for herself, clear about what she wants and what she should do, unafraid of any online opinions, nor too savvy about social rules.

But she lived freely and at ease.

Xiao Yu’an opened the cara for the second ti, capturing the cake, and this ti, he specifically focused on the two hugging little figures on the cake.

After a long hesitation, he also ate the cake.

The cake was sweet but not cloying.

Inexplicably, he seed to feel the sweetness of the world because of it.
