For a three-year-old child to have such thoughts, she did not know if she should say that her family had prepared him well for these kinds of crises, or if she felt that this child is too precocious. Usually, a three-year-old child was still a baby in her motherâs arms.
âI never expected Xiaoqi to be so brave.â Nangong Lengyuâs heart was in her throat when she heard that. Her baby was only three years old. How much courage did he have to muster to make up his mind to face a fierce adult alone?
In other words, Xiaoqi did not need to be determined at all, he acted on instinct. Needless to say, everything that Xiaoqi did was taught to him by Huo Ci.
âGrandpa said that when you encounter human traffickers, donât be nervous or afraid. Calm down.â Xiaoqi looked at them seriously. âXiaoqi is very good at fighting and is not afraid of them at all.â
âYour kids are learning these things at such a young age?â Sangyu felt sorry for her daughter. She had not been willing when her husband told her to teach her self-defense skills, fearing that her daughter would suffer. What was the point of learning these things when she was not even three years old? As parents, could they not protect their daughter?
However, after this incident, she felt that she had protected her daughter too well. No matter if it was a boy or a girl, they should have the ability to protect themselves. That way, when facing bad people, they could think of ways to escape from danger calmly.
âHis grandfather taught him all sorts of nonsense.â Nangong Lengyu was starting to feel grateful towards Huo Ci. If he had not been unreliable and treated the child like an adult, Xiaoqi would not have been so brave and calm when he was in danger.
Little Sangyu was very happy. She couldnât help but keep looking at Xiaoqi, her big bright eyes shining with admiration. After washing her face and changing her clothes, the little girl looked as cute as a Barbie doll. She put food into his bowl and said in a sweet voice, âBrother Xiaoqi, you can have this.â
She wanted to take it, but she couldnât hold the chopsticks in her small hands and couldnât grab the food properly. She cried out softly and saw that the vegetable she was holding was about to fall onto the table.
Xiaoqi quickly caught it with his chopsticks and smiled. âThank you.â
Little Sangyuâs nervous expression eased and she smiled brightly. âYou are welcome.â
Nangong Lengyu and Shang Yu looked at the two children. When they were eating, they would pick the food for each other, the scene was heartwarming. They exchanged looks and smiled indulgently.
Situ Sang and Huo Ci quickly changed their clothes and came in. The two of them were not very familiar with each other, as they had only met a few times and had some small conflicts. In the past, they did not really like each other, but now, they were very polite to each other.
Huo Ci stepped in and saw that the rascal was wiping the vegetable stain off the young ladyâs face. He sneered in satisfaction. Not bad, he knew how to flirt! He had not wasted his time training him.
Situ Sang frowned. The more he looked, the more anxious he felt. Did that rascal from Huo Ciâs family have ill intentions towards his precious daughter? He was already like this at such a young age. What would happen when he grew up? He walked over and picked his daughter up. In an instant, the coldness on his handsome face disappeared, leaving only gentleness. His big hand gently caressed his daughterâs face. âLet Daddy take a look.â
Little Sangyu pushed him away and threw a pleading look at Xiaoqi. âFather, Sangyu wants to eat with Brother Xiaoqi.â
Situ Sangâs heart was completely broken. He looked at his daughter with a wronged expression. His voice was sad and depressed as he said, âDo you not like daddy anymore? Are you blaming daddy for not protecting you well?â
âDaddy, donât cry.â Little Sangyu comforted him and wiped his tears with her tiny hands.
âDoes Sangyu miss her father?â Situ Sang could not stand being defeated by a kid. His daughter could only be his. Anyone who tried to steal his daughterâs love was his enemy, except for his wife.
âYes.â Little Sangyuâs eyes turned red after a single word. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she wrapped her arms around his neck and burst into tears. âSangyu thought that she would never see Mom and Dad again.â
His precious daughter was originally happy, Situ Sang didnât think that a single sentence from him would cause her to cry. His heart ached as he nervously wiped her tears. âDonât cry. Daddy and Mommy are always here. Baby, donât cry. Daddy will ruthlessly take care of the bad guy who captured you and avenge you, okay?â
He didnât know if little Sangyu heard him, but she was crying even harder.
Situ Sang was extremely nervous. He held his daughter in his arms and gently patted her back, coaxing her. âDaddy is wrong and let my baby girl suffer. Can Daddy let you hit me? Does my baby want to ride on the horse?â
Huo Ciâs eyes almost dropped to the ground when he saw this scene. Fuck, was Situ Sang really doing this? Or did all men have no principles in front of their daughters?
âSangyu.â Xiaoqi called out to the girl who was crying sadly.
Hearing brotherâs voice, Little Sangyu stopped crying for a moment. She twisted her head and looked at him, only to see Xiaoqi making a face at her. His facial features were twisted together and he looked very funny. She burst into laughter and said in a hoarse voice, âBrother Xiaoqi, you are so funny.â
Shang Yu smiled as well. This was the first time she had seen such a sensible and cute boy. He knew how to dote on people when he was still so young. What would happen when he grew up? Such an outstanding boy would definitely be snatched away if he did not settle down soon.
Situ Sangâs handsome face was cold as he coldly swept his eyes over Xiaoqi. This rascal, he already knew how to make girls happy at such a young age. When he grew up, he would definitely be a playboy. He absolutely couldnât allow his precious daughter to interact with him any longer. They had to leave immediately!
However, when he saw his daughterâs smiling face and the admiration in her eyes, he felt a little awkward. His daughter was usually alone and it wasnât easy for her to have a friend. If he left now, his daughter would definitely be sad. He didnât want to see her sad.
Little Sangyu did not want to play with her father, she wanted to play with Brother Xiaoqi. The two children were playing games in the room, chasing after each other happily.
Shang Yu sighed with a smile. âMy Sangyu was born prematurely and has been in poor health since she was little. Her father and I have been living with her on Rose Island and thereâs no other children to play with her there. This is the first time I have seen her so happy.â
Children still had to play with children. They were the only family on the island, so their daughter could not find any children of the same age to play with.
Her husband had once found many children to be his daughterâs playmates, but her daughter did not seem to be interested in them, nor did she like to play with them. After that, she was sent out of the island..
