Chapter 981: Chapter 975: Who Is This Man?

"She... she secretly found a man behind my back."

Qiaoqiao was forced to speak out, her voice carrying a hint of a sob: "Ever since she came back from attending a ball a few days ago, she’s always been inexplicably dazed, and she’s dressing herself up very prettily. She even asked me if I’d be okay with her finding me a dad..."

"How did you answer?" noveldrama

"Of course, I disagreed. I said I only want you, uncle, to be my dad; otherwise, I would resolutely oppose anyone. As a result, she turned against me and told me not to mention your name or she would turn against me. Then I argued with her."

Lu Tianxing was covered in cold sweat; he finally understood why Shen Manjun looked at him as if she couldn’t wait to kill him. All of this was stirred up by Qiaoqiao. Any woman would naturally think that if her daughter kept whispering a man’s name in her ear, this man might have intentions towards her daughter or something else.

"Have you seen that man?"

"No."

Qiaoqiao shook her head and said, "But I saw her that night when I got up to talk to her. I saw her sitting alone on the sofa, her face blushing sometimes, biting her teeth angrily at others, and mumbled that the bastard dared to take advantage of her and said he didn’t like unripe Little Apples but liked mature women like her. Humph, she must be infatuated with some wild man."

Listening to Qiaoqiao’s words, Lu Tianxing’s face was peculiar. If he wasn’t mistaken, it seemed like this was what he had said to Shen Manjun—in which case, did Shen Manjun like him?

This thought, Lu Tianxing hurriedly extinguished; Shen Manjun would want to tear him apart when she saw him, so it was impossible for her to like him. But what Qiaoqiao said was clearly what he told Shen Manjun, and other people wouldn’t dare tease the Sect Leader of the Shen Family.

"Do you know that man’s name?"

"I don’t want to know! In my mind, the most suitable person to be my dad is only you, uncle."

Qiaoqiao snorted coldly, looked at Lu Tianxing, and proposed: "Uncle, how about sneaking into my house tonight and cooking rice with my mom until it’s done? That way, my mom won’t marry another man, and you can become my dad logically, best to have a little brother too—then it’s perfect."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing was full of cold sweat. Is this little girl a bit too bold? If Shen Manjun finds out, who knows what she would think—guarding against others day and night, a home thief is hard to guard against.

"Don’t talk nonsense; I don’t want your mom chasing me around the street."

Lu Tianxing pinched Qiaoqiao’s cheek, drank his beverage in one gulp, and stood up: "How about it, have you rested enough yet, or do you want to go on that jungle exploration as you mentioned?"

"Of course, I want to go, uncle, hurry up, hurry up."

Hearing this, Qiaoqiao immediately drank her drink in one gulp, stood up, and dragged Lu Tianxing, bouncing, toward the direction of the jungle adventure.

The place for jungle adventures is called Dream Forest, not artificially created but a natural forest, which a theme park bought and transformed into a park full of adventures and rafting.

After paying, visitors can take a small boat led by a captain, drifting through the jungle. Along the way, they can enjoy the thrill of sailing and the serenity of the forest. Some harmless animals placed by the theme park to attract attention further capture the visitors’ eyes.

Of course, if you don’t want to take a boat, you can walk through the jungle; you just have to walk on designated paths, and you must be guided by someone.

"Uncle, ahead is Dream Forest, hurry and buy tickets. We won’t walk; we’ll ride a small boat through the waterways of the valleys. We’ll use practical actions to prove our courage; we are the future Pirate Kings of the sea." Qiaoqiao dragged Lu Tianxing to the promotional poster at the entrance and said, waving her fists.

"Alright, wait for me here; I’ll go buy tickets."

Lu Tianxing didn’t want to spoil Qiaoqiao’s excitement, so after letting Qiaoqiao wait, he immediately went to the ticket booth.

Since it was a newly opened attraction and Dream Forest is in the most remote part of the park, it wasn’t crowded. Lu Tianxing quickly bought two tickets.

Lu Tianxing and Qiaoqiao, with the tickets in hand, went in. By a stream, there were already some cartoon-character painted boats waiting. Lu Tianxing and Qiaoqiao chose one with the "Bear Cosy" pattern and got on. Led by the head captain, they sailed through the stream, heading toward the valley.

However, at this moment, Lu Tianxing frowned slightly, suspiciously glancing at the boatman at the front. Ever since he got on this boat, he’s felt an unease as if something was about to happen.

Glancing at Qiaoqiao, who was lying by the ship rail edge and excitedly watching the surrounding scenery, and recalling the situation when he met Qiaoqiao in Modu, Lu Tianxing frowned but said nothing—he just kept alert, closely watching all movements around.

As time passed, they gradually left the park and headed toward the valley; the trees on both sides suddenly became denser, with the faint roars of wild animals echoing in their ears. The lush trees made it difficult to see what was inside.

And Qiaoqiao, meanwhile, restlessly ran around on the boat, her eyes on the surrounding jungle, wanting to see if there really were monkeys or other animals as advertised.

Suddenly, Qiaoqiao shouted excitedly: "Uncle, uncle, look, there’s a cat over there—this place even has cats. Uncle, do you think it’s a wild cat?"

Lu Tianxing looked in the direction of Qiaoqiao’s gesture and indeed saw a cat nestled on the bank of the shrubs. But Lu Tianxing’s pupils constricted soon after because he sensed a strong wild aura from the cat, its eyes full of ferocity, and its body was entirely yellow, covered in spots—clearly, it wasn’t just any wild cat, but a leopard cat, very aggressive.

"Qiaoqiao, come to my side."

Without a second thought, Lu Tianxing pulled Qiaoqiao to his side, his eyes coldly fixed on the boatman at the front: "You’re not the boatman; who are you really?"
