Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 460 - 473: Critical Hit Damage

"Just a handful?" Su Xingyu was shocked.

"Me, Leng Fei, and a very few from the Hanyu Research Center, and a very few from the world’s top research centers," Lu Shifeng said.

Su Xingyu didn’t know what to say. She had always thought that the things Jue drew were impressive, but she only considered him a slightly smarter child. She never thought the child’s talent was astonishing. As for Su Jinnian? The story about the "Assassin" nickname that Lu Shifeng had told her seemed like a fairy tale. Maybe it felt distant and unbelievable. Now, seeing the patterns Su Jinnian created, she seemed to have a slight personal experience of his extraordinary abilities.

"People in finance are sensitive to numbers," Lu Shifeng told her, "and some of them have delved deeply into mathematics and even geometry. It’s a kind of scientific beauty, which ordinary people might not understand, but he and Jue seem to understand each other." Lu Shifeng spoke with complex emotions. To be fair, he really, really didn’t like Su Jinnian, but those who could gain Jue’s approval were so few. Even though he didn’t like Su Jinnian, it was an undeniable fact that Jue could communicate with him.

Although, it was through pencils and sketches.

But for Jue, it was quite precious.

The Lu Family’s back garden, although big, couldn’t withstand the rapid creativity of the two.

Soon, the whole open space was filled with mysterious and complex lines, with no room left to draw.

Su Jinnian tossed away the small branch in his hand, his light brown eyes staring at the child before him. This time, there was no impatience or rejection in his eyes: "You’re really good."

Jue didn’t pay any attention to his praise, tossing away the twig in his small hand, turning around and leaving the garden toward the villa.

"Brother Jue, Brother Jue!" Han moved his little legs and tried to follow for a few steps, seemingly still wanting to play with Jue. However, after a few steps, he stopped, hesitantly turning his head to look back here for a moment, remembering his mission, and then he ran over, stepping all over the drawings on the ground, "Uncle, Uncle, if you give Brother Jue a gift, he’ll come out to play with us. He’s definitely angry for not getting the gift, boo hoo hoo."

"Gift, it’s always about gifts!" Looking at the messed-up drawings on the ground, Su Jinnian almost wanted to hang Han up and give him a beating. Other people’s kids had amazing creative talents, but his own didn’t just draw poorly but was obsessed with petty favors! "It’ll serve you right to be stupid!" He scolded Han.

Han blinked his eyes, looked at him seriously: "Han is not stupid."

"Ha ha." Su Jinnian sneered twice.

He pointed at the little guy with one hand, then turned to his sister: "How do you educate the child on usual days, that he hasn’t learned anything at this age yet? A good child will sooner or later be ruined if you continue like this!"

"You!" Su Xingyu was furious. Why do they all think Xiao Han needs elite style harsh education?

Before she could say anything, sitting next to her, Lu Shifeng actually nodded in rare agreement with Su Jinnian. On the matter of children’s education, these two business tycoons stood on the same line: "Han’s education is indeed too lax. We should invite the world’s best teachers for politics, economics, literature, mathematics, fitness, management... all should be emphasized from a young age."

In that rare moment, Su Jinnian agreed, shooting a glance at Lu Shifeng: "Nonsense."

"You guys!" Su Xingyu was so angry she almost exploded, slamming the fruit platter in her hand onto the table, pointing at the two ridiculously intelligent and good-looking men, "You want to strictly educate a child, right? Fine, then have your own! Don’t meddle with my son! I warn you, if anyone dares to point fingers again at my child, I will, I will—" she thought for a while, not knowing what else to say, so she reluctantly repeated, "have your own!"

Both men fell silent...

Have their own? How?

Lu Shifeng cast a quiet glance at Su Xingyu, knowing well that his Jue had severe autism and could never be educated on a normal elite path. Unless he could have a child with her...

And Su Jinnian, similarly forlorn, despite being a formidable presence in the financial world, feared by all, was still just a single man.

It felt like a brutal blow.

Both Su Jinnian and Lu Shifeng bowed their heads, filled with regret—why wasn’t Han their biological son?

The atmosphere turned strange.

Han didn’t understand what the adults were talking about. He looked up naively, glancing from one to the other, giving sympathetic looks to Mr. Lu and his uncle. Sigh, those two were really misbehaving, always making mom unhappy, while Han was the best, whatever he did, mom liked it all. Mom would never be mad at Han, la la la.

Feeling joyful in his heart, the little guy thought, loving his mom even more.

After Su Xingyu vented her indignation at the two adults, she stood and took Han’s hand: "Come, Mom will go see Jue with you."

She took the child and left the back garden.

The afternoon sun was light and clear.

In the back garden, Su Jinnian and Lu Shifeng looked at each other.

Lu Shifeng was the first to react, pouring a glass of wine for him from the table, holding a glass himself: "This child Han, he really needs proper education."

Su Jinnian rolled his eyes largely at him: "You’ve lived with my sister for so long, can’t even handle a child? If you can’t raise Han well, let my sister move out early, I’ll take care of her myself!"

Handle.

He couldn’t stand Han’s dull demeanor and was willing to cross his sister to educate his nephew properly. The world outside is harsh; education should start from childhood. Winning at the starting line is not just a motivational cliché, but a solid strategy for ensuring the child can become a success in the future!

Women are too soft-hearted.

But this time, with eyes sharp as ever, Lu Shifeng gave him a look: "Dream on."

Educating Han properly is correct, but if anyone dares to take Han or Xingyu away from him, he would fight tooth and nail!

With his piercing eyes fixed on Su Jinnian, he finally blurted the question that had been lurking in his heart all this time: "What exactly did you come back to China for this time?"

The moment the question was asked, even the air seemed to still.

Su Jinnian looked at him and suddenly smiled. The smile was pale and thin, indescribably beautiful, yet carried a thin ice-like cold danger: "What do you think I came back for?"
