“Then I must trouble Gu Tingwei and Uncle Li,” Mo Heng said after much deliberation.

Gu Tingwei flashed a rare but bright smile. “It’s no trouble.”

The limousine soon reached the Gu Family’s core technological research center.

By the time Gu Tingwei got out of the limousine, Tangtang was already fast asleep in Mo Heng’s arms.

As she slept, she suddenly heard a voice in her head.

It was a woman’s voice—gentle and elegant, ethereal and enchanting. It came from the direction of the sea and seemed to linger in the air, alluring and beautiful.

However, Tangtang whimpered. She was so frightened by the voice that she started crying. She woke up—

She vigilantly scanned her surroundings, only to discover that she was still in the car, nestled in Mo Heng’s arms. Drool had trailed down the corner of her mouth as she’d slept.

“You had a nightmare?” Mo Heng anxiously stroked the little kid’s forehead.

Fortunately, her temperature was normal. She might have had a nightmare, though, because there were droplets of cold sweat on her forehead.

However, Tangtang knew that it hadn’t been a dream!

She had truly heard someone call to her from the ocean!

The sound had a frequency that was unique to mermaids. It was her Royal Mother’s call.

All around the world, every single mermaid of the clan who heard the call would spare no effort in searching the underwater cities for her.

If her clan members found her, they would immediately seize her and bring her back!

She was clearly quite a distance away from the shore, so why could she hear her Royal Mother’s call?

Tangtang trembled in fear. She locked her arms around Mo Heng’s neck and shook her head: Not going back, not going back. She hadn’t finished playing yet!

Gu Tingwei had just walked into the laboratory when he realized that someone had switched on his precious voice recorder.

Gu Tingwei hurriedly opened the door, only to be welcomed by an explosion of colorful firecrackers directed straight towards his handsome face—

Multicolored streamers, confetti, flower petals, and gold dust slowly drifted to the ground. Everything looked so perfect and romantic, except—

Gu Tingwei’s face had turned green.

Du Hang, who had meticulously prepared everything, was completely unaware of this. He wore an exaggerated mermaid cosplay dress, and his hair was curled into golden locks. He also wore bright red lipstick. As he made his sudden, shocking appearance, he deliberately shouted in a high-pitched woman’s voice, “Surprise!! Happy birthday, Young Master!”

Gu Tingwei: “!!!!”

Gu Tingwei reached out his hand and brushed the gold dust off his hair.

Then, he slowly plucked off a flower petal that had landed on his eyelashes. The corner of his lips slipped upwards into a forceful arc as he grunted out a few words through clenched teeth: “Good! Very good!”

Du Hang was extremely pleased with his current disguise. When he heard Gu Tingwei compliment him, he instantly twirled in front of him to give him a 360-degree view of his hard work. “Young Master, do you like my costume and makeup today?”

Gu Tingwei clenched his teeth and vigorously clapped his hands. “Not bad! Not bad!”

Du Hang had never received such praise from Gu Tingwei before!

He proudly stretched out his hands and showed off his efforts to Gu Tingwei. “Young Master, have a look! This is the birthday party I prepared for you!”

The originally ice-cold, cutting-edge devices were now covered in layers of pink, purple, and light blue… Balloons, which would be appealing to young girls, were everywhere, and on the ground, there was a beautiful arrangement of scented candles, which spelled out the words “happy birthday.”

And Gu Tingwei’s favorite rusty ultrasound machine was wrapped in lace and fresh pink flowers, which were arranged in the shape of a heart.

But that wasn’t all. When Du Hang pressed a button on his phone, the song of the mermaid even played throughout the laboratory.

Of course… What he broadcasted wasn’t the original sound the ultrasound had recorded…

Du Hang had taken the recording and edited a portion of it—

After the ethereal and enchanting female voice rang out, a wild “hip hop” track played…
