His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1413 Ceasefire

The father and son sat in the backseat of the car while two bodyguards sat in the front. One drove while the other sat in the front passenger seat. The other bodyguards followed them in a separate vehicle.

Long Hui helped his son open the snacks and knickknacks that the Black Stars weirdos gave Little Jun. They were all cheap things, but the child would exclaim with happiness whenever he finished opening one. His son's reaction made Long Hui stop himself from showing open disdain for all this trash. When they reached the highway, his phone began ringing.

It was one of Mao Qiuyue's friends calling. He ignored it. The call stopped. Then he received an angry message telling him that the police had taken his wife. In the next few minutes, his phone began ringing nonstop.

His mother-in-law, father-in-law, and even his mother called him, demanding to leave his son and help his wife instead. Long Hui read their furious messages to him. His in-laws' words were particularly nasty. They were basically threatening to withdraw their support if he let their daughter get into trouble.

He wavered for a moment, but when he looked at his innocent son, who still had red and puffy eyes from crying so much, his eyes turned cold, and his heart hardened towards his wife and in-laws. He might have already sold himself to the Maos, but that didn't mean that he would abandon his son for his wife.

A wife could always be changed, but his son would forever be his child. Long Hui could tolerate if his wife disliked his child with Jiang Ying Yue, as long as she never directly attacked Little Jun. But that was precisely what she did today. It was only thanks to his son's bodyguards that she failed. She crossed the line today. He couldn't find it in his heart to find the compassion as a husband and rescue her from the police. In fact, even a part of him wished that she would be locked in jail forever. But that was just a useless fantasy.

He had to admit that he still needed Mao Qiuyue and her family to achieve his ambitions. But for now, he wanted to be with his son.

The sky was already dark when they reached the main gates of Dragon Palace. After verifying their identities, the gates were opened, and they drove inside. Long Hui's eyes widened at this development. At first, he thought they would stop outside the exclusive village. He would say goodbye to his son and drive away by himself. But, he didn't expect them to enter Dragon Palace with him still inside the car.

"Uhm, is this okay?" he asked the bodyguards at the front.

"Miss Jiang wants to speak with you first."

Long Hui finally understood. So it was like that.

More than half an hour later, they finally arrived at Dragon Palace Home #10. Long Hui bundled up his son with an extra coat because the night air was already cold. Then he carried Little Jun out of the car and looked at the palatial mansion.

It was, without a doubt, one of the grandest homes that he had set foot in his life ever. If a person wasn't used to this kind of extravagance and luxury, one would definitely feel intimidated. Long Hui was a wealthy scion, so he wasn't ignorant of this kind of extravagance and luxury, but even he felt a little intimidated. He glanced at his son, who now called this place home.

When they finally entered, a figure rushed forward and snatched Little Jun from Long Hui's arms.

"Mommi!" Little Jun hugged his mother.

Jiang Ying Yue glared at Long Hui before checking her son from head to toe and back up again. Lin Yehan stood beside her. A little farther away, Iris and Jin Liwei stood together by the grand twin staircases looking down at the scene. Both of their expressions were cold. "Little Jun isn't injured," Long Hui said while trying not to let himself quail under everyone's heavy gazes.

Jiang Ying Yue glared at him again.

Little Jun greeted his mother, Uncle Yehan, and of course, his Mama and Papa. Then he turned around and reached for his own father.

"Dada!"

Long Hui also wanted to take him, but Jiang Ying Yue was reluctant. Only when Little Jun began struggling that she handed their son to him. "You want to talk?" he asked. She nodded but hesitated because their son was acting very sticky to him. She didn't want to pull their son away from him by force.

"Dada, dis Junjun home! Junjun show Popkohn, show Gwaby. Show baby bwoders!" (Daddy, this is Junjun's home! Junjun will show you Popcorn and Gravy. And also my baby brothers!)

The child tried pulling his father inside, but Long Hui stayed put. Little Jun felt his resistance and looked like he was about to cry again. Jiang Ying Yue was about to intervene when a cold voice interrupted.

"Let my godson show you around," Jin Liwei announced. Everyone looked at him in surprise, including Iris.

"Look at my godson. It's clear that he misses his father and wants to spend more time with Long Hui. My godson has already been through too much today. Let's not upset him further by cutting his time with his father short. We can deal with the other matters after my godson falls asleep."

Iris nodded after hearing her husband's reason for allowing Long Hui to stay in their home longer. Indeed, their godson had been through too much today. Little Jun deserved to be happy after what happened. If the little guy wanted to spend more time with his father, then so be it. Since the master and mistress of the house had already spoken, Jiang Ying Yue had no complaints.

But Jin Liwei still warned Long Hui. "This is for my godson. Remember that you are now inside my territory. So don't make trouble, or I'll let you experience the worst consequence."

Long Hui didn't reply. His expression was ugly. He looked like he had a lot of complaints but didn't dare to say them out loud. Jin Liwei was right. Long Hui was alone in enemy territory. It wasn't wise to attempt any monkey business in this place.

He also didn't want to stay. Who wanted to remain in enemy territory where there was danger everywhere? Not him!

But he was also reluctant to leave his son so soon. If it weren't for what happened with Mao Qiuyue at the mall, this day would have been perfect. He had fun taking his son to the zoo and spending time together as father and son.

For this reason, he could only swallow his complaints and follow his son inside the huge mansion.

The others followed behind them. Midway, Iris and Jin Liwei separated from them and headed to another place instead, while Jiang Ying Yue and Lin Yehan continued to follow the father and son.

The first destination was Little Jun's bedroom. "Meow!"

"Ruff! Ruff!"

An orange cat and a puppy greeted the little guy.

"Dada, wook! Dis Popkohn! Dis Gwaby!" (Daddy, look! This is Popcorn! And this is Gravy!)

Long Hui had already met the hyperactive ginger cat before. Popcorn also seemed to remember him. The cat rubbed himself all over Long Hui's legs. On the other hand, the puppy Gravy was more cautious of this new stranger. He barked and growled at Long Hui. "No, Gwaby! Stop! Dis Junjun dada! No bad." (No, Gravy! Stop! This is Junjun's daddy! He's not bad.)

Long Hui squatted down and let the puppy sniff his hands. It continued to be suspicious of him, but at least it wasn't trying to attack him anymore.

He looked around his son's bedroom. With just one look, he knew that everything had been customized for his son. The space was large, bright and colourful while feeling cozy all at the same time. There were a lot of toys displayed on the wall shelves. He even recognized some of them as ones he had given his son before. He couldn't help but glance at his ex, Jiang Ying Yue. It turned out that despite their ruined relationship, she wasn't that bitter to the point that she would throw away everything he had given their son. She would even allow them to display the items in their son's room. Jiang Ying Yue noticed how he looked at her and some of the toys. She instantly understood what he was thinking. "Little Jun loves all the toys in his room," she explained. "They're just toys. So I let him keep what he wants. Doesn't matter who gave them to him."

Lin Yehan never once interrupted their conversation. He was just a quiet presence beside Jiang Ying Yue, which she really appreciated. Both were uncomfortable with Long Hui's presence here, but seeing Little Jun's joy and excitement was enough to increase their tolerance for the man.

Indeed, Jin Liwei was right. They should give this much to Little Jun. The little guy deserved it after all he went through earlier today.

Hence, everyone tacitly agreed that tonight would be a ceasefire. After showing his bedroom, Little Jun led his father to another place. This time, Popcorn and Gravy followed them as well.

They soon arrived at the nursery.

"What the f—hell-icopter are you doing here?" Lu Zihao almost cursed but quickly changed his wording after remembering that children were present. He glowered at the sight of Long Hui. Long Jinjing patted her husband's arm, silently asking him to calm down, before greeting her brother. "Eldest Brother Hui."
