Taking The Role Chapter 4

"My wife cares about me so much. I am so happy as a husband."

Listening to these boring conversations, Caleb walked slower and slower. When he thought that these were his future parents, he inexplicably felt a little evasive.

He dawdled a little longer, and the couple's conversation gradually shifted from sweet talk to him.

"Just now the housekeeper called and said Xiaoyan has returned. Why hasn't she come up yet?"

"Maybe he went back to his room? I'll call..."

Before Ning Quan could finish his words, Caleb appeared from the corner. At first glance, he saw the loving couple leaning against each other. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, a perfect match.

[Peng Zhangguo: Your mother Ning Quan's remarried husband, your stepfather. The person in charge of the Peng Group, worth over 10 billion. He deeply loves Ning Quan, lives a happy life, and the only thing he worries about is the lifelong affairs of his two sons]

Caleb had no memory of Ning Quan and Peng Zhangguo, and didn't know what emotion he should use to face these two people. Anyway, smiling was enough at this moment.

"I'm back."

Hearing the voice, the couple both looked up. Ning Quan hadn't seen his baby son for a long time. When he saw him, tears couldn't stop flowing.

He flashed in front of Caleb, opened his arms and gave him a big hug.

Caleb was hugged so tightly that he almost fell to the ground. He had serious reasons to suspect that this seemingly weak middle-aged woman in front of him actually had special skills.

He patted Ning Quan's shoulder and comforted her in a somewhat stiff tone: "...Mom, why are you crying?"

Ning Quan realized her own loss of composure, wiped her tears, and reached out to touch Caleb's soft short hair. Caleb slightly bent over and cooperated with her movements.

"Don't cry, don't cry, mommy is just too happy."

Peng Zhangguo also came over and put his arms around Caleb and Ning Quan's shoulders.

After a good display of family affection, Caleb sat at the table. During the entire meal, he never picked up any food for himself. Ning Quan and Peng Zhangguo took turns taking turns with their chopsticks. The food in his bowl was piled up like a mountain.

The TV opposite the dining table was broadcasting the evening news, about three college students who went to explore an ancient castle on the mountain and their whereabouts were unknown.

Peng Zhangguo was peeling shrimp for Ning Quan and said to Caleb, "Xiao Yan is not young anymore. Are you interested in doing an internship at my company?"

Caleb made an immediate decision when Peng Zhangguo suddenly extended an olive branch.

"No, I know nothing about the company's business. It will cause trouble for your employees."

He hasn't figured out what's going on yet, but he's already gone to work at his stepfather's company. Isn't he just waiting to be caught?

Caleb's refusal was too straightforward, which made Peng Zhangguo unwilling to give up.

"No, there are many departments in my father's company. You can do whatever you want."

Ning Quan also responded: "Baby, it's good for you to exercise. Otherwise, it would be boring to stay in school all the time."

Caleb lowered his eyes, wiped his mouth with a tissue, stood up and said, "Let's talk about this later. I'm a little tired, so I'm going to go back and rest first."

He asked the maid to take him back to the room and locked the door.

The room is very big and fully equipped with electrical appliances and furniture, but the decoration style and color scheme... Caleb held his forehead with his hand, but Skyler was already laughing in his head.

"Hahahahahahaha, your parents are so girly. I've never seen so much pink in my life."

Caleb pressed the soft pink lace princess bed, and it was quite soft. It was just that he didn't have any particular preference for color, and his tolerance was quite high. Otherwise, if he slept here for a night, he might have turned into a pink Barbie and had a dance party in his dream.

While looking around, his eyes accidentally swept across the dressing table. Looking at the face in the mirror, Caleb became serious.

When he first arrived, he thought this was an ordinary world, and the people he met all had ordinary looks with black hair and black eyes.

But the man with fair skin and short pink hair in the mirror told him cruelly.

Brother, stop dreaming.

He walked to the mirror and looked carefully. Even though half a month had passed, he still felt depressed every time he saw his appearance. His facial features were still the same, but he had longer pink hair and a pair of golden eyes...

Skyler thought that he was admiring her own beauty and did not hesitate to praise her.

"What we mean is that as the protagonist, you have to be a little unusual. Otherwise, who would know you are the protagonist." Skyler smiled frivolously, selectively ignoring Caleb's murderous look at the moment.

Caleb sat on the bed for a long time, lamenting the fickleness of fate.

I went to the bathroom to take a shower and was forced to face this body without a single hair on its body. The skin was as white and tender as tofu, and a light pinch would leave a red mark.

That night, Caleb tossed and turned. The sheets and quilt were made of soft silk, and he almost slipped off the bed several times. He got up in frustration and went downstairs to get some water.

The villa was quiet late at night. He found the kitchen based on his memory from the day, opened the refrigerator and drank half a bottle of cold water. The water tasted a bit strange, so he lowered his head to read the label, but suddenly heard a strange sound.

It sounds a bit like sharpening a knife.

This was going to be a strange development no matter how he thought about it. Caleb raised his legs and was about to go upstairs to continue sleeping. But the rules would not let him off so easily.

[Strange noises always come from the Peng family's house late at night, disturbing your sleep. You can no longer bear it and decide to go and check what's going on.]

Caleb paused as he was climbing up the stairs. He felt an invisible force pulling him towards the restaurant.

Since I can't sleep, I might as well take this opportunity to deal with the culprit who made the noise.

Make your way to the restaurant and through the door.

A man was sitting in the corner of the dining table, the candlelight on the table flickering, casting a flickering light on his face.

The man was sharpening the knife in his hand, again and again, with a focused look on his face.

The moment Caleb saw the man, something strange flashed through his mind. The man immediately discovered him.

Looking up, I saw a handsome face with peach blossom eyes, a high nose bridge, and a good temperament.

"Brother, it's so late, why don't you go to bed?"
