Huo Lanting is a beautiful little boy.

His slightly curled short hair is styled into a cute baby-like head. A few strands gently curve and stick to his fair and wide forehead. His eyes are dark, clear, and shiny, accompanied by thick and long eyelashes, making him look like a doll or even a little princess.

Dressed in a high-end children's suit with a red tie, he looks handsome and stylish. Gu Yuan also noticed a badge on the lapel of his suit, and now she knows it's the emblem of the Huo family.

He is a wealthy young master raised in a prestigious family, with an outward appearance that is cute, lovable, and exceptionally handsome.

However, this cute little boy, Huo Lanting, had once or twice fooled Gu Yuan.

Now, he was crying again. Crystal-clear teardrops hung on his long eyelashes, his small white teeth biting his pink lips, his cheeks slightly puffed up. Clearly very sad, yet he bravely resisted the urge to cry.

Anyone who saw such a child would find it hard not to feel soft-hearted.

Gu Yuan took a deep breath, reminding herself that he was pretending. He was good at acting, and maybe in the next second, he would wipe away his tears, stick out his tongue, and tell her that she was really foolish, that he was just playing with her.

"The venue is crowded and chaotic. Although you're very clever, you're still young. Don't run around. Even if you're smart, crying won't help if you're kidnapped by human traffickers."

Despite being only four years old, Gu Yuan didn't want to argue with a child. She also didn't want to witness a tragedy caused by a child inexplicably getting lost. So, she reminded him, "Where are your family members?"

Huo Lanting, with teary eyes, turned away, saying, "It's none of your business!"

Although he said so, there was a faint hint of red on his milky-white cheeks.

Listening to his tone, Gu Yuan was speechless. "I'm an adult. I don't want to argue with a little child. If you think I'm meddling, fine, I won't bother with you anymore!"

After saying that, she turned around to leave.

Indeed, a mischievous child was always a mischievous child. You should never worry about him. Even if he got kidnapped, he would probably infuriate the kidnappers.

Huo Lanting saw her about to leave, and tears instantly rolled down his cheeks. However, he gritted his teeth, wiped away the tears with his hand, and loudly said, "Humph, just as I thought, you don't want to bother with me!"

Gu Yuan replied, "Yes, I really don't want to bother with you!"

This response completely crushed Huo Lanting's hope.

Being so young, he didn't know if Gu Yuan never intended to forgive him, or if it was because he hadn't sincerely apologized, or maybe it was because he failed to win the Star of the Crown to make her happy.

All he knew was that Gu Yuan seemed to have completely ignored him. She would never coddle him like she did with Nie Yu, and she wouldn't hug him with a soft and fragrant embrace.

As for sleeping together, that was even more of a dream.

Now, Huo Lanting couldn't even cry.

Gu Yuan had reached the end of the corridor. She had made up her mind not to bother with this little troublemaker. After all, he was a rich young master, and perhaps a group of people would gather around him soon, and he would stroll away with his hands behind his back, mocking everyone.

However, perhaps subconsciously, or perhaps because she had a strong sense of social responsibility when she reached the end of the corridor, she turned back and glanced at the little boy.
