Coco understood that the other party was more powerful than she was, and there was nothing that she could do about it."So, you're upset about this?" Lucas asked."It's just... I feel a bit powerless," Coco admitted. "Even though I don't want to admit it, it's often the case. That's why people strive to become stronger. The stronger you are, you can protect what you want to protect like dignity, freedom, and so on,” Lucas explained. "It’s always the law of the jungle. You have to keep growing stronger if you don’t want to be seen as a weakling.” Then, he paused and looked at her. "Coco, aren't you also becoming stronger bit by bit?""Me?" She was taken aback. "Am I?""Of course," Lucas affirmed. "You probably wouldn't have chased after someone to demand an apology like today back then.""That... that's because...""You want to say it’s because you're my girlfriend, right? If she insulted you, it meant she was insulting me too, right?" Lucas seemed to see through Coco’s mind.Coco sta

"I do not have to wear them daily," Coco said. Her daily casual look didn't suit this jewelry. Since these pieces were quite valuable, wearing them would make her constantly anxious and worried about damaging them."In that case, I'll find more opportunities for you to wear them," Lucas said teasingly.Coco wrapped her arms around Lucas's neck. "Lucas, I feel so happy right now." But the happiness she was feeling now also frightened her. She feared that their happiness might not last forever. The happier she felt now, the more fearful she was deep down.Lucas bent down and kissed her lips. "I'll make you even happier in the future, Coco... I want to be the source of your happiness!"He wanted to give her the best of everything. Unknowingly, his feelings for Coco had deepened even more.-In a private room at the bar, Caleb looked at his friend. The usually indifferent expression on Lucas seemed softer, and he was smiling faintly."You're in a good mood?" Caleb asked."Yes, I am," Luc

Lucas ended the call, but Coco’s cheerful voice was still echoing in his ears. He couldn’t wait to hear her voice in person. "Alright, I'll make a move first," Lucas told Caleb while standing up.Caleb was taken aback. "Wait, you're leaving already?""What else? Do you want to come with me to pick Coco up from work?" Lucas asked back.Caleb was speechless once more. Fine, he shouldn't have asked.Caleb looked at the unopened bottles of wine after Lucas left. It seemed like he would be drinking alone tonight.Coco was already waiting downstairs when Lucas arrived."Why did you come down? You could've waited upstairs," Lucas said.Coco smiled and said cutely, "I wanted to see you sooner."Her cute tone made Lucas beam unconsciously. “Do you want to have a late-night snack? We have time for it,” Lucas asked once Coco got into the car. Coco's eyes immediately lit up. She hadn't had a late-night snack in a long time!"How about some BBQ chicken wings?" she suggested."Chicken wings?" Luc

Coco felt fuzzy and warm thinking about those few happy moments during her university years.“I’ll come here with you when you want to fix your cravings in the future. I promise I won’t get tired of this place,” Lucas said.Coco was stunned. "But you're not used to places like this, right?""It's not a problem. I don't have to dine only in fancy restaurants," Lucas replied.Nevertheless, Lucas still exuded elegance even sitting on a small stool outside such a modest establishment. His formal attire starkly contrasted with the others, attracting many curious glances.Some women, in particular, were openly admiring Lucas. After all, his handsome face and cold demeanor suggested a kind of austerity, making him even more intriguing.Coco could fully understand the women's awe. She, too, often found herself captivated by him. Her heart would race every time she saw Lucas, especially when she woke up every morning. Just then, a young woman dressed in trendy clothes approached Lucas. "Hey,

Lucas’s oppressive aura and intense gaze made Natalia tremble in fear. "You! You’ll get it from me!" She retorted before turning and running away.The onlookers were visibly surprised, casting curious glances at Lucas. However, he paid no attention to their stares. The moment he turned to look at Coco, his fierceness melted into tenderness."Sorry," he said.Coco blinked. "What are you apologizing for?""That woman...""Didn’t you already stand up for me?" Coco replied. She wasn't affected by Natalia’s insults. A few harsh words were nothing compared to the bullying during her school days.Seeing Lucas still looking apologetic, she smiled and said, "Don't worry. I've got a strong mentality built up over time. Besides, the way you told her to get lost was absolutely cool! My boyfriend is impressive!” "Are you sure you're okay?" Lucas was worried that Natalia’s words might have upset Coco."Yes, I'm fine. And I’m happy that you protected me just now," she said.Coco had finally found s

"I am eating, and I'm faster at deboning too,” Lucas said. Coco had to agree with him. Lucas had deboned a few chicken wings in no time. His movements were also far more elegant than hers.Besides that, Coco’s chicken wings were in a sorry state, but Lucas’s chicken wings remained perfectly intact after deboning, almost as if he was creating an art piece.Just then, someone shouted, "That's them! That guy hit me! Simon, you have to help me get revenge!"Coco looked up to see Natalia, who had left earlier, returning with a group of menacing individuals. Judging by their appearance and tattoos, these were street thugs.Coco was startled. She wondered if Natalia had brought these people for revenge.The people at the nearby tables looked like they wanted to get as far away as possible.The shop owner quickly came over, hoping that they would fight outside."We’ll fight outside, then," Lucas said calmly.Coco was flabbergasted. She wondered how Lucas could beat seven or eight men alone.

"It was me who made the report just now. There's been a fight here, and my boyfriend—" Coco hurriedly ran to the police, shouting. She was relieved that the police had gotten here in time. But before she could finish her sentence, she caught sight of the scene at the entrance out of the corner of her eye.The thugs who had come looking for trouble were all sprawled on the ground while Lucas stood there, completely unscathed.Coco was bewildered that Lucas had won the fight against the men. Lucas went to her side and frowned slightly as he noticed Coco’s messy hair and the scratches on her neck. "What happened? Who did this to you?" He asked while gently touching the scratches on her neck.It hadn't hurt much before, but now, it stung a bit.The police officer, glancing between the chaotic scene outside and the one inside the stall, cleared his throat and ordered "Everyone, you guys are required to come with me to the station for statements!"So, a whole group of people were taken ba

"What about those guys? Are they seriously injured? Are they unharmed? Will you get into trouble?" Coco asked, her voice filled with concern."I held back, otherwise, they might really have ended up being crippled. They’ll just need a few days in the hospital. But once they're out, they'll be detained," Lucas explained while taking her hand. "Come on, let's go home."Lucas intertwined their fingers, and they left the police station. Coco was still in a daze.It wasn't until they got into the car that Coco asked, "Can we really go home?""Of course," he replied, amused. "Now, put on your seatbelt.""Oh, okay," Coco quickly buckled up.On the way back, Coco looked at Lucas and asked, "You’re not hurt, are you?""Do I look hurt?" Lucas asked back with a slight smile."Didn’t the fight affect your wound around your waist and abdomen?""Don’t worry. I’m almost healed, and the fight didn’t affect it," he assured her."I think we should do a check-up at the hospital," Coco insisted. She was s

“……” Morgan suddenly found himself unable to retort. She... wasn't wrong. “But when you play house, you can pretend to be parents with one person today and another person tomorrow. Real marriage is different; you can’t choose someone else.”Renee widened her eyes, listening intently.“The only person you can choose is me. Do you understand, Renee?” he continued.She nodded vigorously. “I understand!”“Do you really?” Morgan asked, a little skeptical. He was already fifteen, so he could grasp the concept of marriage, but she was only eight. Could she truly comprehend it?“So, in the future, I can only marry Morgan and be your bride, right? I can't be someone else's bride, right?” she asked. “I don’t want to marry other boys anyway. I like you the most, Morgan. Of course I’ll only be your bride!” she happily declared, her worries fading away.So she could be Morgan's bride when she grew up! That's great!After finishing another piece of snack, Renee thought of something. She put o

Despite her unease, she couldn’t resist when she saw the sweet desserts. She indulged herself.However, as she ate, her eyes remained fixed on Morgan, clearly still waiting for him to clarify Lucy’s claims.“You want to know if you’re a child bride, right?” Morgan began.Renee nodded.“Do you know what a child bride is?” he asked.She blinked. She had a vague idea, but not enough for her to articulate it.“To put it simply, a child bride is a girl raised by a boy's family. The girl will marry the boy when she comes of age. In the old days, some families were too poor to raise their daughters, so they would sell their daughters to become child brides for richer families,” Morgan explained.Renee blinked. “But my parents aren’t poor, and I'm raised by them, not by other people. That means I’m not a child bride, right?”“Correct, you are not,” Morgan affirmed.She breathed a sigh of relief, and a bright smile spread across her face. “I knew it! My parents would never sell me!

"Morgan!" Renee turned to Morgan, unease etched on her face."The Moon family, eh? I'll remember this," Morgan replied calmly, then lowered his head to meet Renee's anxious and confused face. "Let's go, Renee. I’ll tell you what you want to know later."He led her away holding her hand.Benson looked worried. "Miss Lucy, how could you say that?""It's the truth!" Lucy shook off her fear and spoke defiantly. "Daddy and Mommy said she’s a child bride. A child bride is a girl sold by her own parents!""But the White family is not like that. Those things only happened to daughters of poor families in the old days," Benson explained. "You really shouldn’t have said that, Miss Lucy. You shouldn’t do that again.""Why do I have to listen to you?" Lucy retorted, displeased.Benson was too ashamed to tell Lucy in front of others that the Moon family simply couldn’t afford to offend Morgan. Dealing with the White family was already a headache, and Morgan's background was even more formi

Benson and Lucy were also dumbfounded. Benson started getting anxious. He felt like things were starting to unfold in ways that he did not expect."Mr. Grimes, I..." Benson stepped forward, intending to speak to Mr. Grimes.However, Mr. Grimes moved past Benson without so much as a glance at him. He went up to Morgan and said, "Master Morgan, I apologize for the oversight!"Everyone was stunned to hear that, including the security guards who had been called over. They were secretly relieved they hadn't forcibly removed anyone yet. If they had offended someone Mr. Grimes was showing so much respect to, it would have been really bad for them!Morgan regarded Mr. Grimes with an unreadable expression. He calmly recounted the situation to Mr. Grimes.After hearing about what happened, Mr. Grimes responded, "This set of stamps was not pre-ordered. If you like it, please take it. Feel free to take anything else in the exhibition that catches your eye."This declaration shocked every

"Who are you?!" Benson exclaimed, astonished. The mysterious figure remained silent, simply looking at Morgan.Morgan calmly reiterated to Benson, "I said, wait for Mr. Grimes." He then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "I'm Morgan Wood. Please have Mr. Grimes from Lazy Cat Culture come to the Sleepy Cat Exhibition in Solaria. He should be in the area, right?"After ending the call, the person on the other end stared at the phone in disbelief.The Sleepy Cat Exhibition? What's going on?Benson, Lucy, and the staff stared at Morgan in shock, but the look in their eyes quickly turned to ridicule."Ah, a young man's naive bravado – how impudent!" Benson scoffed."Sir, please don't cause trouble," the staff member warned. "Or I'll have to call security."Morgan simply lowered his head to say to Renee, "Looks like we'll be here for a while. If you're bored, I can ask someone to walk around with you."Renee shook her head. "Morgan, what if this stamp set has really been p

Benson's words were not only meant to exert pressure on the staff, but also to inform him that they were on the same side.As expected, when the staff heard what he said, there was an instant change in his expression. He turned to Morgan and Renee and said, "I'm sorry, but it turns out this stamp set has already been pre-ordered by this customer."Morgan saw through the so-called pre-order as nothing more than an act. "When I asked you to wrap it up earlier, I didn’t hear you mention it was pre-ordered.""We forgot to mention that. Our apologies," the staff replied.Lucy, wearing a smug expression, raised her chin at Renee, causing Renee to puff out her cheeks in frustration.Benson calmly observed Morgan and Renee. The White family's White Maple Group had numerous overlapping businesses with the Moon Group. They were often competing with each other. Originally, the White Maple Group’s business activities weren't concentrated in Solaria, so even though there was competition wi

But before Morgan had even finished speaking, a girl's voice piped up, "I want this stamp set!"He turned to the voice and, upon seeing who it was, narrowed his eyes slightly. It was Lucy Moon, the girl Renee mentioned earlier. At the sight of Lucy, Renee immediately reacted like an angry little kitten. "Lucy Moon, why do you always try to take my stuff away?""Your stuff? How is this your stuff? You haven't paid yet!" Lucy shot back, her eyes fixed on Morgan.Morgan was well-known in their class, admired by many girls who claimed he was even more handsome than movie stars. If only Lucy had a big brother like that! She would be the envy of all the girls in class... no, all the girls in school!Unfortunately, her own big brother was not as good-looking.Last time, Lucy had tried to give Renee Sleepy Cat toys, asking for Morgan's email address in return. However, Renee accepted gifts from everyone but her, which infuriated Lucy."But if you want, I can give this stamp set to Re

Unlike many wealthy kids, Renee was quite restrained with her spending. She had never spent recklessly and often saved leftover money. Of course, when she wanted something beyond her budget, she would act cute and ask her Daddy or Morgan to buy it for her.Lisa was the least susceptible to her charms, so Renee didn’t dare to bother her!When they arrived at the exhibition, Renee’s eyes sparkled with excitement. There were so many adorable Sleepy Cat merchandise! They're all so cute! She wanted a lot of them, but realizing her limited budget, she knew she needed a sponsor! The best one was right beside her: Morgan!"Morgan," she said, flashing him a super bright smile.Seeing her like this, Morgan immediately knew she wanted to ask him for something. "What is it? Do you want me to buy you Sleepy Cat merchandise?""You’re so smart, Morgan! No wonder so many girls in our class like you and asked me for your phone number!" Renee praised him.As soon as she mentioned it, Morgan'

"Okay," Renee replied obediently, snuggling up to Morgan and acting cute. "Take me to the exhibition, Morgan! I know you’re the best. You’ll definitely take me, right?"Morgan pursed his lips. At 15, he was no longer a little boy. Although Renee was only 8, she was his destined wife.He had been protecting her since the day she was born. At first, he thought that he would only marry her because according to the family prophecy, she was the one most suitable for him. Over the years, however, he realized that his feelings for her ran deeper than he had initially thought.He found himself wanting to help her fulfill her wishes, and would clean up the mess when she caused trouble. Things had become different from what he had expected, but he welcomed them. He felt grateful that she was the one who was destined for him!With her by his side for the rest of his life, he would never feel lonely."Will you get into fights again?" Morgan asked."No more fighting, I promise!" Renee quickly
