Country Z, Imperial City.
As dusk just fell, the entrance of a mansion that rivaled palaces in terms of luxury teemed with cars and horses, and was crowded with celebrities and socialites who continuously arrived in a constant stream.
Today is the triennial auction at the “Star Picking Tower.” Those who can partake are all the top-notch nobilities from the Imperial City.
A black sedan parked quietly, yet it managed to capture the attention of many people.
With the relentless expansion of the Li Corporation in the recent years, Li Jingchen, the man behind it, has become increasingly renowned. His cold and proud demeanor resembles that of a natural-born king.
Before the paparazzi even got a chance to take his pictures, Li Jingchen swiftly walked into the Star Picking Tower, bringing the anticipation of the crowd to a sudden halt.
At this moment, a petite figure swiftly scurried into the place.
Unconsciously trailing behind Li Jingchen's line, a child emerged in the bustling crowd.
After Li Jingchen passed through the security screening, the little dumpling tried to follow but was stopped.
"Kid, you can't run around here!"
At this moment, a trace of displeasure flashed across the innocent face of the little dumpling, "Even you dare to stop me! My dad just went in, and now I'm going to find my dad."
His expression was firm. To be able to attend this auction, one has to be either wealthy or noble.
At this time, the doorman bent down good-naturedly, "Little friend, who is your dad? I'll take you to him."
The little dumpling's eyes twirled, then he lifted his head and smiled at her, "Sister, who do you think I resemble?"
The doorwoman quickly understood. This was the first time she saw this little dumpling, but his face was oddly familiar to her. Although he wasn't dressed in formal attire, his face does bear a striking resemblance to Li Jingchen, who just walked in.
Upon a closer look, it seemed more likely.
"Little friend, what is your name?" she asked, a touch of surprise in her eyes, but chose to patiently inquire, just in case.
"My name is Li Xian Ning!" The little dumpling said with some pride, his head held high.
The maid suddenly realized, this was the son of Li Jing Chen who had just entered. Although she wasn't sure if Li Jing Chen had a son, news of him was scarce in the royal city, leaving his identity a mystery.
However, Li Jing Chen was a person who one could not afford to slight.
The maid hastily adopted a respectful attitude. "Young master, let me take you to your father!”
People around were curious and asked, "What's going on?"
"Didn't you see? He's CEO Li's son. He was walking too slowly earlier on and got left behind!"
And so, the little dumpling enjoyed a smooth path ahead. Followers around him were all attentive to his every word. This was the first time he had experienced such treatment, and he was delighted. He couldn't help but sigh, how nice it would be if he really had a father like this. However, he had a different agenda for his visit today.
"Young master, CEO Li is upstairs. Would you like me to take you up?"
The little dumpling looked up, "My father has important clients to meet. I'm fine playing on my own down here. Just bring me a bidding device, and you can go about your business.”
Despite being a young child, he carried a certain maturity beyond his years.
Indeed, he was like a child from CEO Li's household. Seeing this, the maid couldn't help but praise, and promptly brought a spare changer from upstairs: "Young master, happy bidding!"
After the maid left, the little dumpling let out a sigh of relief. Looking at the bid changer in his hand, a triumphant smile graced his face.
It was all settling in nicely. He had successfully entered the Star Picking Tower, ready to give his mom a big surprise.
