“S-sis… Brodda, wah! Daddy save me awoo——”

The little girl's screaming was miserable and the little turnip heads who were chasing after each other at the front stopped at the sound.

Three question marks appeared on top of their heads in unison.

What's that? 

“Wah sister, sister——” The little thing jumped up from the ground and looked at the dog who was chasing after her, her eyes teared up, and the way she wailed made others laugh.

Shen Yao, who was suddenly called. “….”

What did you just call me? 

The little girl rolled her eyes elegantly. She looked at Ye Sang's grievant face then at the dog behind her, she muttered in disdain, “Idiot.”

How is she even scared of a dog?

And yet she treated Ye Sang as her rival before.

Now that she thought about it, she probably has to thank her mysterious grandpas for her surviving up until now.

Shen Yao took two big steps forward and reached Ye Sang, she easily grabbed the little thing's soft hands and pulled Ye Sang behind her.

The teddy barked twice and its black eyes were s.h.i.+ning.

——Woah, pretty little sister.”

Shen Yao smiled coldly and her young voice was crisp, “What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a young lady before?”

“It's only a teddy dog.”

“Look how uneducated you are.”

She looked at the teddy in disdain and smiled coldly, flipping her ponytail as she walked back leisurely while holding the little girl's hands.

Ye Sang saw that she was saved and immediately covered the strand of hair on her head. She felt wronged and followed behind Shen Yao, mumbling nonstop, “Don't bite me, don't bite me…”

She looked like she was terrified.

Shen Chuchen: “…”

He laughed out loud.

Ye Sang became even more upset.

She clenched Shen Yao's clothes like a little tail, and she put more effort into running than everyone else because she didn't want to be bitten.

Shen Chuchen followed behind them leisurely. No one knew where he got it from but he casually bit a Setaria gra.s.s in his mouth to pretend to be cool.

He looked so casual and he was nastily watching the drama from the side.

“Sangsang, run faster.”

He smiled, “The dog's going to bite you.”

Ye Sang: “!!!”

Half an hour later, Ye Sang and the other children all lay on the ground, exhausted.

“….” Shen Yao didn't even bother to maintain her image and lied on the gra.s.s. She breathed deeply and her forehead was full of sweat.

She knew that nothing good would happen with Shen Chuchen here.

Ye Sang wanted to lie down but before she could stay down for a few seconds, the dog threw itself at her in excitement again.

The little thing: “!!!”

Duan Jinyan saw how scared she saw and laughed lightly. He bent down and grabbed the teddy, throwing it to the side in disdain.

“Woof.” The teddy saw that it lost the hair it almost reached and barked unhappily.

The young boy narrowed his eyes coldly and glanced at it lightly.

His cold glance made the teddy tremble.

It immediately turned around and looked away from Ye Sang's hair.

Sorry. 

Can't afford to offend him. 

They were all people with backgrounds. 

Ye Sang blinked and slowly forced her tears back, looking at Duan Jinyan with her dark eyes as if he was her second parent.

Shen Chuchen saw this scene from the side and pulled his lips. He felt like he was tying a red string for this stinky brat for no reason.

“Sangsang,” The man lazily spat the gra.s.s out and bent down sloppily, asking with a smile, “Are you tired?”

The others ran so many laps and they had already collapsed from how tiring it was.

However, the most underestimated Ye Sang looked like she had more stamina than everyone else.

The little thing still remembered that Shen Chuchen let the dog out to bite her, she immediately dove into Duan Jianyan's arms without hesitation and asked for a hug, “Brodda…”

“Hug…” She dragged her voice on sweetly.

Duan Jinyan's body froze at the sudden hug.

The young boy smiled after a while and turned her little face around, correcting her earnestly, “It's 'brother'.”

“Bro…”

“It's 'brother'.” Duan Jianyan pinched her white and soft cheeks, unexpectedly finding that it was rather nice to touch.

No wonder they all like to do it.

The little thing was unhappy.

She yawned and the hair drooped down. She pouted without much energy and whispered, “Happy Lantern Festival.”

The little thing was half asleep yet she didn't forget to talk.

Duan Jinyan's eyes softened and replied “mhm” with a smile, but Shen Chuchen took her away before he could hug her for another few seconds.

Ye Sang smacked her lips and rubbed the man with her head, mumbling, “Daddy….”

She continued, “Sangsang is sleepy.”

Shen Chuchen hid the emotions in his eyes. The little girl was curled up in her arms like a ball of milky cuteness.

His lips curved up. Shen Chuchen knew that the children were exhausted and stopped being evil. He turned to the bunch of sleepy turnip heads and lightly said, “Let's go.”

“I'll take you back.”

“Awesome!!” Seeing that they were finally going to be liberated, Ye Niannian and Su Ruirui exchanged a glance with each other and quickly followed.

It was about eleven at night.

After he finished settling all the children down, Shen Chuchen sighed deeply and felt like he brought home a bunch of troubles.

“Sir,” inside the bedroom, the housekeeper bent down slightly and reported in a low voice, “Those shadow guards who kidnapped Miss Sangsang went to get their punishments themselves.”

“If there's anything you…” He was halfway through his sentence but saw Shen Chuchen covering his lips with a finger, lazily gesturing him to hush.

His cold dagger seemed to say

Be quiet. Can't you see I'm taking care of a child? 

The housekeeper's lips twitched.

His wise and brilliant head of the house is now addicted to being a father?

If it was this time before, a dark and windy night was the best for murdering people and it would be strange if Shen Chuchen wasn't outside doing something up to no good.

After the little thing completely fell asleep, Shen Chuchen put her on the bed. The little girl automatically rolled to the corner with the blanket over her, sleeping soundly.

Shen Chuchen stared at Ye Sang and suddenly smiled lightly.

He spent the entire day with this little bun but he didn't feel impatient at all.

He even thought that the future days to come won't be as bad as he antic.i.p.ated.

“Anything else?” The man lowered his voice and asked.

He meant: if there's nothing urgent then you can get out.

Housekeeper Shen twitched his lips and took the initiative to leave the room.

And he didn't forget to close the door.

The little thing seemed to sense something and smacked her lips lazily, rolling towards him and called: “Daddy…”

Shen Chuchen was worried about hurting her and back off a little, giving her more room.

He hugged the soft little thing in his arms and felt sleepy despite he suffered from insomnia.

The man rested his chin on her shoulder and softly said, “Good night”.

The big one and the small one both fell asleep soundly.

The stars turned in the sky and the dim lights of the night were gentle.

The moon tonight was exceptionally round.
