Today, Song Boluo took me around in front of the media, but he didn't speak to a single member of the Luo family. Their relationship might be worse than the rumors."You are such a person without principles." I was amused by Ryder Stone's words, "How is your training going recently? When will you debut?"Ryder Stone chuckled and said, "My first original single is expected to be released next month. You have to give me a big red envelope when the time comes!""How much did you pack today? I'll give you an extra hundred dollars."Ryder Stone's eyes widened: "How come you are still so stingy even though you married into a wealthy family!"Because I have no money.Mason Collins gave me a check for 20 million, but I don't plan to cash it.

Ryder Stone and I were standing in front of the glass guardrail and chatting. There was green grass beside us and a modern city made of reinforced concrete at the foot of the mountain. The scenery was magnificent.The sky gradually darkened, and the colorful lights on the field gradually lit up, illuminating the grass as if it were daytime.Maybe it was because of the champagne I drank, my stomach was becoming more and more uncomfortable, and it was twitching to express my desire to get it all out."I'm going to the restroom." I greeted Ryder Stone and walked quickly into the house. In the end, I almost sprinted into the bathroom.I vomited freely while holding the toilet, washed my face with cold water, and walked out when I felt better. 

Unexpectedly, I met Luo Qinghe on the way.I saw that he was a little at a loss for a moment and was hesitating about how to address him, but he spoke first."Did you see the Pharaoh?"I couldn't say that he left with his lover, so I shook my head: "No..."He frowned: "Find him and ask him to come see me."He spoke in an imperative tone, not giving me any chance to refuse, then turned and left.They really are father and son. I sighed helplessly at Luo Qinghe's back.I searched inside and outside the house, and finally found Li Xun guarding the stairs leading to the roof, thus confirming that Logan Summers should be in the roof garden.I said I wanted to find Song Bailao, and Li Xun hesitated for a moment but still made way for me.I walked slowly up the stairs, and when the exit was in sight, I heard faint crying.I stopped there for a moment, not knowing whether to move on.

[Master said that he made cakes because his wife liked to eat them, but he himself liked wine. It was an enviable relationship.]"Can't we not break up?" The crying voice was intermittent, and the owner of the voice was eager to express his request, "I will be good and never cause you any trouble. 

I don't want anything, I just want to stay by your side... This, this is not okay?"I leaned against the wall, planning to wait for a suitable time to go out.The evening breeze on the rooftop was just the right temperature and blew in slowly through the narrow doorway. Perhaps because it was located deep in the mountains, the wind carried a fresh scent of grass and trees, which made me feel a little sleepy."You don't want anything? Do you think I will believe you?" Song Boluo's voice ended with a smile, which reminded me of Lucas Hayes's antique cello, which had a beautiful tone and was very expensive.One time, when Lucas Hayes was not around, I could not help but secretly plucked the instrument twice out of curiosity. The result was not only a very strange sound, but also a dull pain in my fingertips from the vibration of the strings. Song Bailao was the same. He would speak harshly to people he did not approve of, and he would get cut if he was not careful."We are not a couple. We signed a contract willingly. We have never been intimate with each other. You don't have to act affectionate to me." Amid the incessant crying, Logan Summers's words became colder and colder, without a trace of warmth. "After all, you have been with me for two years. You should know what I hate the most. Instead of pestering me here, why not try your luck downstairs and see if you can find your new target."The crying stopped. 

The girl could have struggled to death under the continuous cold knife of Logan Summers, but now she was completely "dead".I sighed silently. These words were so heartless and deserved a beating.Being too affectionate will cause annoyance, being heartless will also cause annoyance. It turns out that only cutting off all affection and love is the safest way.Logan Summers has never lacked people around him since his student days, including omegas, betas and even alphas. He always has a chaotic aura and walks alone on campus.We can both be said to be "oddballs" who are kind-hearted, but no one can approach him because of his bad personality, and no one wants to approach me because I'm a beta.Perhaps the thinking patterns of people with different backgrounds are similar. He occupied the rooftop of a remote teaching building as his territory, and used it as a place to hang out after skipping classes. Without knowing it, I also chose that place as a place to escape from the depressing campus life for a short time.

I once stood in a similar position to where I am today and listened to a live conversation between him and an omega.After so many years, it turns out that nothing has changed."I'm not like that..."While I was distracted, I don't know what happened between Logan Summers and Mingshu. There seemed to be a slight sound of clothes rubbing against each other, and then it was quiet for a moment, and then suddenly Logan Summers's obvious panting and scolding were heard again."Um... leave here right now." He spoke in a clear and loud voice, "Get out!"I heard hurried footsteps, and I straightened up slightly, bumping into the male artist with red eyes at the narrow staircase.He saw that I was stunned, and the unwillingness in his eyes seemed to solidify into substance.I know without guessing that he must be wondering how this person could become "Mrs. Song".He brushed past me and left in a hurry. 

I walked up the last few steps and saw the tall and long-legged Song Boluo standing on the rooftop planted with various green plants.He saw me and paused rubbing his thumb over his lower lip. "What are you doing here?"He seemed to be in a bad mood. I was afraid that I would say more and make more mistakes to annoy him, so I said briefly: "Your father is looking for you."Song Bailao put his hands in his pockets and looked at me quietly for a moment: "Oh."Then he ignored me and made no further move, but turned to look downstairs. There were bright lights, beautiful people in fine clothes, a symphony orchestra playing soothing and lingering music, and a female singer's hoarse voice slowly sounded, a song suitable for dancing.Suddenly, the night sky was filled with brilliant fireworks, one after another, in a variety of colors. Although they were as short-lived as shooting stars, they added a brilliant touch to the quiet mountains.Such a wedding is really very romantic.If it were any newlywed couple who were in love, they would definitely dance in each other's arms and K!ss passionately under the fireworks.Unfortunately, Logan Summers and I were not lovers, so this scene was ultimately wasted.Logan Summers looked up at the fireworks in the sky and had no intention of paying any attention to me. It would be boring for me to stay there, so I turned around and left along the stairs.Ryder Stone couldn't stay too late, saying that his agency was very picky and kept a close eye on him. Before nine o'clock, his agent's car was already waiting outside. He said goodbye to me hastily and trotted into the car.I watched him leave, then went back to the party and spent another hour as a wallflower until ten o'clock, when the guests finally left one by one.Logan Summers was nowhere to be found, and Luo Qinghe was also nowhere to be seen. It was unknown whether the two of them had a conversation in the end.Mason Collins left with a smile on her face, and seemed very satisfied with my performance today.She touched my face and leaned over to give me a hug."You did a great job." She whispered in my ear, "We'll contact each other by phone later."Once upon a time I was always looking forward to her hug, but now, it scares me more than the K!ss of a poisonous snake.The servants began to clean the courtyard one after another. After I saw the guests off, I turned around and saw Li Xun and a middle-aged woman coming down from upstairs.Li Xun saw me and smiled at me: "Mr. Ning. The young master has just fallen asleep. Mr. Song and Mr. Luo are talking in the study. 

He asked you to rest first and said you don't have to wait for him." Then she introduced the person next to me, "This is my mother, she is an omega and the housekeeper here."The middle-aged woman nodded to me respectfully: "Mr. Ning, you can just call me Sister-in-law Nine.""Sister-in-law Jiu." I greeted her and asked her which room I would sleep in.Sister Jiu was stunned for a moment and pointed to a room for me.The colorful lights outside were still on. I was feeling sleepy and tired, so I fell asleep on the bed as soon as I entered the house without even turning on the lights.I thought Sister Nine would definitely point me to a guest room. After all, Song Boluo had no feelings for me and even hated me. Living in separate rooms and not interfering with each other was the most appropriate way I could think of to get along.But I forgot, which bed partner did Song Bailao have feelings for? It was true that he married me for business, and it was true that he didn't want me to have his child, but he never said that I was just a decoration.In the middle of the night, I was sleeping soundly when suddenly a hot body covered my back.He pressed the back of my neck forcefully, and his heavy breathing hit my earlobe, carrying a strong smell of alcohol, which made me shudder."Song...Logan Summers?" I quickly came to my senses, my heart beating wildly, and I was frightened and confused."How can a wife like you leave your husband alone to sleep on your wedding night?"He pressed my body with one hand and slid the other hand into my pants through the gap. His hot palm pressed against my B*tt0cks, rubbing so hard that I couldn't help but cry out in pain.

I rested my forehead on the pillow and said tremblingly, "Yes...you were the one who said I didn't have to wait."The hand paused and a very light laugh sounded in my ear."I asked you to do your duty, why don't you remember?""Wait...wait!" I struggled and tried to escape from under him.I was stiff and shaking all over, and my body started to feel shamefully hot."It's not the first time, why are you pretending to be so reluctant?""You still like it? Your 'mark'.""Isn't this what you want...you can show it off everywhere..."

[People who can't accomplish anything are really just trash. ]Sister-in-law Jiu said that in order to facilitate official business, Song Bo Lao usually lived in the city, and only Leo Summers and a group of servants were in the mountains. Of course, I have to be added now.Leo Summers is well-behaved and quiet, but he doesn't like to talk. I asked Sister Jiu in a vague way if he was not in good health. Sister Jiu quickly understood what I was asking and said that when he was three years old, he had a comprehensive check-up and everything was normal. 

His silence might be psychological or due to his personality. He had regular psychological correction, but the effect was not obvious.She mentioned the nanny again, saying that the family originally did not hire unmarked young omegas, but Leo Summers liked to listen to her stories, so Logan Summers made an exception and hired her, hoping that she could better stimulate Leo Summers's language ability. Unexpectedly, the other party was so unworthy of the important position that she almost lost the young master when she went out. At the end, she sighed, looking a little helpless.Song Boluo's house had everything, including a banquet hall, a library, a swimming pool, and a toilet that was equivalent to Ryder Stone's entire apartment. 

The kitchen tools were also very complete, the oven was the largest and latest model, and there was no shortage of flour and icing, and even hundreds of piping nozzles.I originally wanted to bring my own set of tools, but when I saw this, I immediately gave up the idea, and abandoned my old love with peace of mind. I only went back to get my computer, diary, and a few of my usual clothes.When Sister Jiu saw me coming back with a bag of clothes, she was surprised and said that Song Boluo had already ordered new clothes for me for all four seasons and had hung them in the cloakroom half a month ago. Even my underwear and socks were brand new. She thought I made this request because I didn't want to wear my old clothes from before marriage.I was stunned for a moment, and went to the upstairs cloakroom to take a look. 

Sure enough, the shelves were full of unopened new clothes, and the size was also my size. This was certainly not my request. I thought about it for a while and guessed that maybe Song Bailao had seen me twice and really couldn't stand my poor taste in clothes, so he condescended to buy me new clothes.Come to think of it, since I'm already "Mrs. Song", my image outside affects not only myself but also him. How can I still be as unkempt as before?After resuming live streaming, Song Boluo's kitchen was so different from my old, cramped little kitchen that everyone could see how luxurious it was, and comments skyrocketed. After several months of double-digit attendance, the number of people in my live streaming room exceeded 100 for the first time, and it slowly climbed toward 200.

"Today I'm going to teach you how to make branches. First, adjust the color. Make it a little darker, maybe dark brown..." While stirring the cream, I glanced at the comments section, where people were already guessing which rich guy I had married. Someone noticed a small corner of white gauze showing behind my neck, and used their excellent reasoning skills to think that I must have married an alpha.My camera doesn’t show my face at all, the screen only captures the part below my shoulders, but they can still see my gauze, and I really admire their eyesight."Use a No. 66 piping nozzle to pipe onto baking paper and bake in the oven at low temperature for five minutes..." I saw that their guesses were getting more and more outrageous, so I had to interrupt them, "No, I'm not an Omega. My personal profile shows my real information. I'm a beta and have been since I was a child."Some alphas these days will leave teeth marks on their beta partners, but other than it looking like "that's the thing", it doesn't really mean much.It’s like a vow.

It’s only a vow if you keep it, but it’s Bullsh!t if you can’t.After this, no matter how speculative the comments are, I will no longer make any positive responses.When the live broadcast was about to end, Leo Summers suddenly ran over from somewhere and hugged my legs.I jumped so hard that I shook an Austin Rose to the ground.When Leo Summers saw it, he wanted to pick it up with his hands. I didn't care that I was on a live broadcast and quickly stopped him."No, no, no, don't eat it..." I picked up the pale pink rose and threw it into the trash can.Leo Summers looked at me blankly. Although there was still no expression on his face, I always felt that he was a little shocked."I...I'll make you a cupcake later, okay?"Leo Summers's eyes lit up, he gave me a small smile and nodded.I rubbed his head, asked him to wait aside, and said I would be fine soon.Due to the camera angle, the short Leo Summers could not be photographed, but when I bent down just now, my profile was photographed. When I stood up, I realized this problem, and I froze for a moment. I subconsciously looked at the screen, and saw my entire face fully exposed. 

The expression of horror and staring was even a little funny.The comments exploded so fast that I couldn't even read them.I stood up straight, turned my face away from the camera, and began to stammer, "Today, that's all for today..."Without saying "goodbye" or any of the usual closing words, I hurriedly closed the live broadcast.Although I couldn't see the people behind the camera, I knew they were all looking at me. This reminded me of two years ago, when the boos from the audience seemed so close to my ears. They shouted "cancel the results" and "get him out", like another form of carnival, completely drowning out my flimsy defense in the tide of sound.Taking a deep breath, I turned around and leaned against the counter. My limbs were numb and my palms were sweating. After about two minutes, the discomfort in my body was relieved and my heartbeat returned to normal.I lowered my head, and suddenly a small hand appeared in my sight, gently pulling my waist. When I raised my eyes, I saw Leo Summers staring at me with a worried look on his face, his eyebrows twisted into a small knot."I'm fine..." I smiled weakly at him.He looked at me for a while, suddenly turned and walked away, then came back quickly with a tablet in his hand.I didn't know what he was going to do, so I looked at him in confusion. His fingers moved skillfully, and soon I heard my own voice coming out of the device."Tame me. I am just one of thousands of foxes..."I was startled and moved closer to him, only to find that his tablet contained all my live broadcast videos."You... have been watching my live stream?"Leo Summers nodded shyly, pointed at the video of "The Little Prince", and opened his mouth: "...I like it."This was the first time I heard him speak. His voice was soft and thin, as childish as a ball of soft marshmallow.Whether it was the fact that he spoke or the fact that he watched my live broadcast, I was so shocked that I couldn't recover. 

This shock even diluted the shock I had just received from the live broadcast incident.It suddenly occurred to me: "So you followed me in the mall that day because you recognized my voice?"Leo Summers hesitated for a moment, looked away guiltily, then looked back at me, and finally nodded very slightly under my burning gaze....The nanny died unjustly.Sighing, I reached out and pinched his fair little face, warning him: "Don't run around like this in the future. You've only heard my voice on the Internet, and you don't even know what I look like. What if you recognize the wrong person? And even if you recognize the right person, what if I'm a bad guy?""Hmm..." Leo Summers's face was deformed by my pulling, and he opened his big black and white eyes in confusion and nodded heavily. He looked like a harmless puppy, and for a moment I even had the illusion that a smaller version of Song Bo Lao was looking at me.How could Logan Summers's son not look like him?"Good boy." I rubbed his cheek as a reward.

I promised to make cupcakes for Leo Summers, so I couldn't break my promise. Fortunately, it was not difficult. I poured the mixed batter into the mold, put it in the oven, and waited for fifteen minutes. The soft sponge cake was out of the oven.I squeezed a layer of buttercream on the surface and decorated it with the colorful decorations I had just made during the live broadcast. Soon, a set of beautiful cupcakes was ready.Leo Summers excitedly picked one from them and looked at it for a long time, not wanting to eat it."Eat it. 

There's still a lot. If you don't eat it, it will go bad in two days."After hearing what I said, he started eating in small bites.He looked so delicious while eating that it made me hungry too, so I picked up a small cake and started eating with him.Just then, there was a noise in the front hall and I could faintly hear the sound of a car engine approaching and then moving away.After a while, Song Bo-lao, who according to Jiu Sao always lived in the city, came in from outside in a well-dressed suit and appeared in front of us. As he walked, he reached behind him, used the fingerprint code to unlock the bite stopper on his face, and threw it on the table beside him."What are you doing?"Leo Summers and I hadn't swallowed the food in our mouths yet, and each of us was holding half a cake in our hands. He had seen it, but he still asked me a question even though he knew the answer."Make...make a cake." I swallowed the cake in my mouth in a hurry, but choked because I was too hasty. 

I rushed to the sink and scooped several handfuls of water before I could swallow it with difficulty.I turned around while wiping my mouth, and saw Logan Summers walking towards me with a frown on his face. I was startled and couldn't help but lean back. He suddenly stopped and glanced away with a bit of boredom, as if he was too lazy to mock my stupid behavior.His eyes fell on the cake I made: "Did you make it?"I was a little nervous, but I couldn't tell where the nervousness came from."yes..."He picked one at random and brought it to his mouth. He didn't open his mouth immediately, but sniffed it with his nose, as if to confirm whether the thing in front of him was edible.After a few seconds, he took a bite of the side of the cake and quickly put it back."Too sweet." He wiped the cream from the corner of his lips with his thumb and gave only one comment.My heart fell back to its original place just like the cake."I'm back to get something, I'll be leaving soon." 

He gave me a meaningful, somewhat frivolous smile, "You don't have to wait for me in the evening." His attitude was like treating a toy that he didn't like very much, but was still interesting.He didn't touch the cake again and went upstairs.After his figure completely disappeared, I slowly walked to the island counter, picked up another cup of cake and took a bite.Because it is for children, I obviously added less sugar..."not sweet..."I looked at Leo Summers in shock, and he said to me again: "It's not sweet, Dad lied."It was rare that he spoke in long sentences.My heart softened. Although Logan Summers was a B@st@ard, his children were very cute."Well, Dad is a liar." I smiled at him.

[I heard a baby crying, and when I opened my eyes I realized I was dreaming. I couldn’t even tell if it was a good dream or a nightmare.]Leo Summers can't communicate well with others, so he doesn't go to school even though he's five years old. 

He has a full schedule of classes six out of seven days a week. He's very similar to me.I live stream six days a week, and I only take one day off. However, since I haven't recovered from the previous live broadcast incident, I asked the platform administrator for two more days off so that I can have three days to relax completely.I'm already struggling to survive, so I don't mind if it becomes even more obscure.Song Boluo's collection of books is very impressive. They are neatly stacked in walnut bookcases that are four or five meters high and surround the walls on all sides. The books on the top can only be reached with the help of a ladder.The center of the library is covered with a hand-woven carpet with deep red patterns. A well-made black leather sofa is placed on the central axis of the carpet with absolute symmetry. A single sofa is placed in the same position on both sides, surrounding a coffee table made of walnut.The layout of the entire library is comfortable, heavy, and a bit obsessive-compulsive.
