Lu Yang left, and the few people relaxed their guard.
Mu Sijie turned to the hotel owner and asked, "Boss, is the room Wanqing used to stay in still available?"
The owner's head buzzed. He quickly nodded, but then remembered something and shook his head. "Miss Lu did stay with us before, but her room has already been taken."
Upon hearing this, all four men and four children present frowned.
"Who is staying there? Can we switch with them?" Mu Sijie asked.
They were important figures. Everyone should recognize them and know their relationship with Lu Wanqing. They assumed people would be willing to give up the room if they knew it was them.
The owner's heart clenched. He hadn't expected so many important people to come to their small place.
"This... it's the gentleman from just now. He seems to be Miss Lu's fan. He said he wanted the room Miss Lu stayed in as soon as he arrived," the hotel owner explained quickly.
Hearing this, everyone seemed to understand why Lu Yang had been staring at their children. After all...
Lu Wanqing had live-streamed with her cubs before and was very popular, with a huge fan base.
"Where is that room? We'll go talk to him," Wei Xingzhou said immediately. Since the other person was a fan of Lu Wanqing and the cubs, he felt it shouldn't be a problem.
The hotel owner quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll take you there right away."
The owner led them inside. They soon arrived at Lu Yang's room door. He raised his hand and knocked, "Mr. Lu?"
The door opened, and Lu Yang stood inside.
The hotel owner didn't dare to speak and quietly stepped back.
Wei Xingzhou looked at Lu Yang and said happily, "Sir, since you're a fan of Lu Wanqing and the children, you must know who we are, right? Could you please give us the room?"
"No," Lu Yang refused without hesitation and closed the door.
Wei Xingzhou: "???"
The other dads and cubs: "..."
Everyone was stunned. They couldn't fathom why he refused so directly. They offered more money, compensation, and asked if they could pay double the room rate he paid.
"Hey, hey, don't close the door! We can pay you money. Whatever you paid for the room, we'll pay you double, okay?" Wei Xingzhou shouted.
But there was no response, no one answered.
Mu Sijie couldn't help but knock on the door, but no matter what they did, there was no reaction from inside.
"It's over. Could it be that Cui Cui didn't accept his candy earlier, and he's angry? Is it really necessary for a man to act like this?" Wei Xingzhou muttered.
He admitted that his darling daughter was very cute, and among the four cubs, his cub was the most likable. That's why this man had taken a liking to his cub at first sight. The other children didn't get candy, but his Cui Cui did. But...
One shouldn't randomly accept candy from strangers, what if it was drugged?
Maybe...
As Wei Xingzhou pondered, he gently tugged on Cui Cui's sleeve.
Cui Cui turned to look at him.
Wei Xingzhou pointed outside.
Cui Cui understood. Dad wanted to whisper something to her.
Cui Cui followed her dad outside.
Wei Xingzhou squatted down, looked into his darling daughter's eyes, and said seriously, "Cui Cui, how about we knock on the door later? You can say you want that candy. But remember, you can't randomly eat things given by strangers. We'll take the candy, put it away secretly, and not eat it, okay?"
"Will he give us the room if I take the candy?" Cui Cui asked.
Wei Xingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Dad thinks it's super possible!"
Wei Xingzhou grinned, a very happy one, "Cui Cui, don't you think that uncle likes you a lot? Even though they're all fans of your mommy and the cubs, out of so many cubs, he only gave you candy!"
Little Cui Cui also became happy upon hearing this. She nodded, "Mm."
Wei Xingzhou pinched his darling daughter's cheek and smiled, "So, we'll rely on Cui Cui later. Cui Cui can act spoiled with that uncle and ask him to give us the room, okay?"
It was hard enough for them to come all this way together. If they couldn't even stay in the room Lu Wanqing had stayed in, it would be too suffocating and embarrassing.
"Okay," Cui Cui agreed.
For other matters, Cui Cui might be proud, but this was related to Mommy. She would try her best!
"So good!" Wei Xingzhou praised happily. If his darling daughter weren't too old for him to kiss, he would really want to kiss her.
"Then let's go in," Wei Xingzhou said.
"Okay," Cui Cui replied.
They had made their plan and returned proudly. Looking at the people and cubs shut out at the door, he felt incredibly smug. Even if their cubs were also bred from Lu Wanqing's genes, so what? This person only liked their Cui Cui now and not the other cubs.
Everyone turned around and saw Wei Xingzhou's smug, almost annoying expression. However, at this moment, everyone couldn't help but feel expectant, because when Wei Xingzhou showed such an expression, he always had a trick up his sleeve.
"You have a way," Yu Nong, who couldn't read expressions, said directly, his voice still muffled but with a hint of anticipation.
Wei Xingzhou glanced proudly at Yu Nong, then lowered his gaze to Cui Cui.
Cui Cui was also a little nervous, but with her dad's encouraging gaze and thinking of Mommy, she walked to the door.
Cui Cui raised her small hand and gently knocked, "Uncle, are you there? I want that candy!"
Inside the room, Lu Yang ignored the people outside, but...
When the child's tender voice reached him, he paused. The little girl said... she wanted that candy.
Lu Yang didn't want to bother, but... after hesitating for three seconds, he finally stood up, walked to the door, and opened it again.
Cui Cui stood at the door, looking at the uncle, feeling inexplicably nervous.
Lu Yang took the candy from his pocket and handed it to her.
Cui Cui carefully extended her hand and took the candy. She couldn't help but explain, "I won't cry!"
She wouldn't cry, she wasn't a crybaby, she wasn't shameful!
Lu Yang paused, then turned around and closed the door.
"Hey!" Little Cui Cui was anxious and quickly pushed the door open.
"Uncle, can you give us the room? This room was where my mommy stayed. We miss her very much," Little Cui Cui said anxiously.
Lu Yang turned and looked down at the little cub, refusing, "No!"
Little Cui Cui immediately became anxious. This was not what Dad had said. If she took the candy, wouldn't the uncle agree to give them the room?
"You want to be in your mother's room?" Lu Yang asked next.
Little Cui Cui quickly nodded, "Mm."
"Then you can come in," Lu Yang said.
Lu Yang looked up at the other children, Little Yu Shu, Little Mu Lan, and Little Yi, "You few children can also come in. The adults, however, are not allowed."
Everyone: "..."
