Chapter 1454

~8 min read 1,457 words

Chen Guanlou asked casually, "Being so indifferent to decency, your parents really don't treat me as an outsider!"

Fighting right in front of him, they really treated him as one of their own.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to be moved or to be moved!

Song Anxu chuckled, "You are Song Dabao's father, his biological father! Of course you are not an outsider! Even though we aren't married, in the eyes of my mother and father, you are their son-in-law!"

For a moment, Chen Guanlou felt a bit ashamed.

He, this freshly minted 'son-in-law', hadn't done anything and had gained a son for free! He hadn't raised him for a single day!

Ashamed!

Deeply ashamed!

"Your father has a lot of opinions about me!"

"He has opinions about everyone! Except for his nephews, whom he likes immensely. Those cousins of mine are all full of schemes, flattering him every day, hoping to turn the tables one day and inherit the Prince's Mansion!"

"Will they succeed?"

"As long as I am alive for one day, they can forget about succeeding. At worst, I'll kill them all!" Song Anxu was also a ruthless person; when she spoke of killing, it was light and airy, as if she didn't take it to heart.

Chen Guanlou responded actively, "How about I go kill them now!"

"That's not necessary!"

The two didn't avoid anyone when they spoke.

Hearing about killing, the Prince of Luyang immediately wailed, stopped struggling with Princess Luyang, pointed at Chen Guanlou's nose and cursed, "You bastard, who are you going to kill? I will punish you with a death sentence! A death sentence!"

Song Anxu rolled her eyes, very disdainful.

Chen Guanlou looked at the Prince of Luyang with a smile and said, "I wasn't going to kill them originally, but since you say so, I really have to kill one or two for you to see. Outsiders daring to covet my son's position deserve to die!"

The Prince of Luyang was so angry he jumped, cursing desperately, "Who is an outsider? You are the outsider! Your surname is Chen, not Song! Don't think that just because Anxu gave birth to a son for you, the Prince's Mansion is yours. I tell you, you are dreaming! I won't agree, the Emperor won't agree, and the Imperial Clan Court won't agree! The Prince's Mansion will always be surnamed Song!"

"I didn't say it wouldn't be surnamed Song! Whether Song Dabao is surnamed Chen or Song, it doesn't change the fact that he is my biological son. I don't care about a mere surname. The Chen clan doesn't lack me to carry on the family line! Prince, you underestimate me; your perspective is too small! I am not that kind of old-fashioned person who worries about surnames every day!

I live my life upright and clean; I will never go back on the conditions we agreed upon! Even if Anxu gives birth to a second child and wants to take my surname, I will firmly oppose it!"

Chen Guanlou's words were not meant to fool anyone; he really thought so.

He was immortal and had infinite life; he didn't care about children at all. He cared even less about surnames!

If it weren't for Song Anxu promising not to marry, not to pester him, and giving him benefits, he wouldn't even want to have children!

Children are all debts!

Even though he actively avoided this debt, it didn't mean that if the child came to him for help one day, he would turn a blind eye. On the contrary, he would definitely help the child!

Just consider it paying off the debt!

When Song Anxu heard this, she immediately asked, "The second child really won't take your surname?"

"Absolutely not Chen! Song Anxu, I warn you, don't think you can use the child to tie me down! I am free; you give birth to the child and you raise it, that was the agreement. If you dare to let the child be surnamed Chen and make me responsible for raising it, we will make a clean break and never see each other again!"

Chen Guanlou was very serious and not being fake.

The ugly truth had to be said upfront!

He must not let the child hinder his feet and affect his life.

Song Anxu laughed out loud, "Don't worry, the second child will definitely be surnamed Song! I won't let you worry about a thing! You just need to come and see the child during holidays. A few thousand miles is very far for ordinary people, but for you, it's only a few days' journey. It's a deal!"

She finished speaking on her own.

Then she said to the Prince and Princess of Luyang, "Mother, Father, you have both heard it. I have said long ago that Prison Warden Chen is not that kind of person; he is eager to clear his name and won't rely on the Prince's Mansion, let alone the child. His character is well-known in the capital! You should believe him!"

"Hmph! It sounds good now, but when the child grows up and inherits the Prince's Mansion, who knows if he will come to pick the peaches. He is a Ninth-Rank martial artist and lives longer than all of us! Silly girl, you shouldn't have looked for a martial artist in the first place."

The Prince of Luyang found fault with everything and could pick bones out of an egg. Looking at a man as a man, it was understandable that he didn't trust Chen Guanlou! After all, there was only one Chen Guanlou in the world, and only such a big freak! His thoughts were completely different from the world's.

"I just wanted him! Look at how healthy Dabao is. Since he was born, he has only been sick once, and he was better in two or three days! If I had found an ordinary person, the child's health would follow the father, and he would be sick every few days; who could stand that!"

Song Anxu was very unhappy and wouldn't allow the Prince of Luyang to undermine her!

The Prince of Luyang sneered, "Women have long hair and short knowledge."

"Are your hairs not long?" Princess Luyang immediately erupted, "Do you not want peace today? You surnamed Song, you'd better think carefully before you speak!"

The Prince of Luyang looked sullen, then roared at the top of his lungs, "You are a shrew! I am at odds with you!"

A typical case of a donkey falling but not its frame!

Even if it's not decent, one must maintain decency.

Even if the inside can't be saved, one must save face!

Chen Guanlou said solemnly, "I can understand that the Prince doesn't trust me. Men, after all, all want many children and blessings, not to mention the dispute over surnames. I can draw up a written statement, and you can hand it to the Imperial Clan Court for safekeeping; that should be fine, right? Anyway, even if I really take advantage of the Prince's Mansion one day, there is still the Imperial Court and the Palace to decide for the Prince's Mansion!"

"Boy, this is what you said. Someone, bring pen and ink!"

The Prince of Luyang seemed very eager, fearing he would go back on his word.

Princess Luyang didn't stop him, but sat upright in her chair, her attitude solemn!

Song Anxu sighed softly and muttered, "You didn't have to go this far. The child is ours after all."

"No! A written statement should be made! I haven't contributed a single bit to raising the child, and I don't want to. When the child grows up, how could I come to pick the peaches? I'm not that shameless! Just let the child call me father, I don't ask for anything else!"

"Do you really think so?" Song Anxu asked.

Chen Guanlou nodded, "Originally, I didn't plan to have children! So the surname didn't matter!"

"But, aren't you men all..."

"I am different from other men!" He emphasized!

He was an immortal man!

The immortality that cultivators seek but cannot obtain, he had obtained.

As for children, get lost!

He really didn't like children!

He was indifferent in his previous life, and even less so in this life. Since Song Anxu wanted to give birth and could raise them, and didn't need him to worry, he just followed her wishes!

Song Anxu laughed out loud, secretly happy in her heart, admiring her own eye for choosing a man.

Princess Luyang also thought more highly of Chen Guanlou!

Sure enough, he was a person who deviated from the norm!

One cannot use the thoughts of normal people to speculate about him!
