After all, this aloof-looking uncle had promised to take him to a police station; for that, he was immensely grateful to him. Showering him with some compliments was only right, especially since he could not give him anything in return.

"Such a tall and handsome man surely has many women liking him!"

"Arf!"

As he played with the pup's meaty paws, he smilingly sighed. "I hope I can be as dashing as him when I grow up!"

The man, who was pretending to be asleep, could not help frowning at that. "…"

"Uncle, are you very popular among the ladies?"

"…"

Upon noticing that the adult had his eyes closed and was ignoring him, he looked at him with his head tilted and silently studied the man.

He's really very handsome!

He looks so much cooler and better than the actors I usually see on TV!

All of a sudden, he noticed something that got him gasping in surprise. While stretching a chubby hand out, he said, "You have a speck of dirt at your eye, though; let me help you wipe it off."

He then leaned forward and rubbed a finger over the beauty mark at the corner of the man's eye. It turned out that he had mistaken that mole for a speck of dirt.

No longer able to bear with the child's nonsense, Gu Jinglian grabbed the boy's hand in his and shot a stern glare at him. "Do you have a death wish?"

"…" It frightened the child so badly that he started trembling in fear. He could not understand why the man had such a thought in mind when he was only trying to help him clean off the dirty mark on his face. Thus, he meekly explained, "I spotted something dirty on your face…"

The nerves near the man's eyebrows twitched as he warned darkly, "Any more noise from you, and I'll throw you out of the car."

The kid was cowed into silence; he immediately retracted his small hand and sat all upright and still in his spot with his eyes facing forward.

Only then did the mafia prince cross his arms before his chest in satisfaction.

He truly disliked interacting with children, but the act of kicking the child off the car and abandoning him in this remote wilderness seemed beneath him. Besides, allowing the boy to hitch a ride was within the limits of his patience.

Half an hour later, the car drove to an elevated outer ring expressway, where one could see the bustling city's high-rise buildings and neon lights at a glance. Even though night had fallen, this was when the city truly came alive. If they were in Yan City, the place would be shrouded in darkness at this hour.

While leaning against the window, Baby Chu gawked in awe at the mesmerizing, neon-lit city. The countless, colorful lights from afar appeared like stars dotting the vast night sky, making the sight indescribably beautiful. Having lived in a village for all his young life, the child was naturally captivated by the bustling scenery. The look he wore on his chubby face was one of astonishment.

"Wow! The buildings in the county are so tall!

"Are those flashing things lights? I've never seen such pretty lights before!

"They're really beautiful!"

With his limited vocabulary, the best adjectives he could come up with to describe this scenery, even after mulling on it for a while, were 'beautiful' and 'pretty'.

Out of the blue, the man gave the driver an order. "Drop the boy at the police station once we leave this overpass."

"Noted."

Amid the boy's fascination, his stomach suddenly started growling. As he patted his small, flat belly, he told himself encouragingly, "Bear with it! You'll have food to eat soon."

Rumble—

The response he received was such a depressing sound, however.

The flyover, when in hunger, appeared never-ending, though that was likely because he was so hungry to the point that every minute of the journey seemed especially long and grueling to him.
