Chapter 162: Qilin Jade Pendant
Rong Zhi watched the little fatty cub run in.
The clothes she was originally wearing were fluffy, and now with that scarf around her neck, she looked even more round.
But she was also soft.
“Daddy Rong, touch it. This is very warm.”
Rong Zhi picked up the little fatty cub and placed her on his lap, pinching the scarf with his finger.
Immediately, surprise flashed in his eyes.
“What is this made of?”
Qin Wanwan, this little one, in order to maintain a sense of mystery, hadn’t told Rong Zhi that she was working with wool.
“Daddy, guess ~”
The little Qilin’s eyes curved as she smiled, tilting her little head with a hint of slyness.
Rong Zhi really couldn’t guess what it was made of. He even sniffed it, but there was only a faint scent of sandalwood and no other smell.
The touch in his hand was very soft and warm.
After a moment of thought, he shook his head: “I can’t guess.”
Qin Wanwan giggled.
“It’s made of wool.”
Rong Zhi’s handsome face showed surprise.
“Wool?”
He looked closely, but couldn’t figure out that it was made of wool.
In his understanding, even the wool of a white sheep was yellowish, and that yellow couldn’t be easily washed away, and it carried an unpleasant mutton smell.
Wool could actually be made into such a thing.
He looked at the scarf, and it was worthy of his clever mind, he immediately thought if this could also be made into clothes.
Something as cheap as wool, if it could truly be made into warm clothing, would be something very beneficial to the people.
“You wouldn’t have thought, not only can it be made into a scarf, but also into clothes, but only two pieces of clothes can be made, so…”
The little one was very honest, she poked her finger and looked at Rong Zhi with a slightly guilty expression.
“The two pieces of clothes are for Daddy Xie and Daddy Shang. Daddy Xie is fighting at the border pass. Keke said it’s very cold there and it has already started snowing. Wanwan doesn’t want Daddy Xie to get cold, and Daddy Shang has cold poison on his body, so he also needs to wear warmer clothes.”
After explaining so much, she smiled pleasingly at Rong Zhi.
“Daddy Rong, please wait a bit longer, okay? Daddy Shang is already collecting more wool. When the next batch of woolen clothes is made, I’ll give them to you.”
Rong Zhi wasn’t angry about this; it was certain that he felt a little bit of sourness in his heart.
This little one had three daddies, and he was only one of them!
“Who is your Daddy Xie?”
Qin Wanwan’s big eyes darted around.
“Daddy Shang told me not to say.”
Rong Zhi took a shallow sip of tea: “His surname is Xie, and he’s fighting at the border pass.”
A figure appeared in his mind.
“Xie Chong?”
There were many people with the surname Xie in the world, but the one who fought at the border pass and left the deepest impression on him was Xie Chong.
Qin Wanwan’s eyes lit up.
“Daddy Rong, do you also know Daddy Xie?”
“That’s right, you and Daddy Xie both work for the Emperor, you’re colleagues.”
Rong Zhi had already understood what the little one meant by “working,” and he casually stroked her hair.
It was Xie Chong.
This made him curious about what they had been like in the past.
Currently, the little fatty cub recognized three daddies. Not to mention himself, the other two were one with great military ability and commanded heavy troops, and the other was as rich as a nation, and neither of them was a simple character.
This was the first time he had seen someone who could divide themselves into several parts.
“Daddy Rong, I’m not giving you the scarf, otherwise Daddy Shang will be angry. All the daddies, Wanwan wants to treat them equally.”
The little one explained earnestly.
A smile flashed in Rong Zhi’s eyes: “Is that so? But I think you’re not fair to me at all.”
Qin Wanwan’s eyes widened.
“Daddy, don’t talk nonsense, Wanwan is very fair!”
Rong Zhi’s single sentence was a killer blow: “Then why don’t I have any clothes?”
Qin Wanwan:…………
“Because, because there wasn’t enough yarn.”
Her voice became much lower.
Rong Zhi: “So you see, there are only two pieces of clothes, and you thought of the other two people first.”
The little Qilin cub heard him say this and felt it was a bit unfair.
But there were only two.
“So, shouldn’t this scarf be compensation for me?”
Qin Wanwan was coaxed by him and nodded.
“Yes, then it’s for Daddy Rong!”
She wasn’t reluctant at all, and actively took off the scarf from her neck and put it on Rong Zhi’s neck.
Rong Zhi’s hair was too long, and it took a while to get it done.
The little fox saw that Qin Wanwan’s neck was no longer wearing a scarf, and immediately jumped up happily, using its fluffy tail to wrap around her little neck.
It had long disliked that thing. Was its tail as warm as that? Humph!
Rong Zhi lowered his gaze to the little fatty cub who was earnestly putting on the scarf for him, the corner of his mouth turned up, and his eyes also held a smile.
“Alright, I’m giving this to Daddy Rong. I’m going to see them make clothes.”
Qin Wanwan said and ran off.
Returning to Daddy Shang’s side, she was sneaky, afraid of being caught by Shang Wuyang.
She even took a detour and didn’t go past Shang Wuyang’s room.
However, she was still caught.
“Running so far and taking a detour, are you that guilty and afraid of seeing me?”
Shang Wuyang’s voice sounded from behind.
Qin Wanwan immediately stood obediently, touching her neck guiltily.
“You gave the scarf I wouldn’t give to you to someone else. I guess I’m not worthy.”
This was sarcastic.
Qin Wanwan shook her head: “No, no, it’s because the clothes are for you and Daddy Xie. If Daddy Rong got sad, Wanwan gave him the scarf.”
“He would be sad?”
Shang Wuyang sneered: “He’s just fooling you, this silly child. His heart is frozen solid; even if you chopped it with a knife, it wouldn’t leave a mark.”
“Heh… He’s so big and still fooling a child for her things. His thick skin is even thicker than it looks.”
Qin Wanwan hugged her little hands obediently: … Weak, pitiful, dare not speak.
After scolding Rong Zhi, Shang Wuyang’s mood improved.
“Come here, your jade pendant is ready.”
He extended his hand, and a Qilin jade pendant hung on his slender fingers.
This thing was complicated. In ancient times, there weren’t as many convenient carving tools as in modern times, so it had taken so long to make just one.
Qin Wanwan tiptoed over and looked at the jade pendant, smiling happily.
“Beautiful, I like it.”
Shang Wuyang pinched her chubby little face.
“So, explain why you made five.”
Qin Wanwan reasoned: “Because I didn’t know if there were any more daddies, Wanwan made five fingers.”
She also extended a small palm, her five fingers spread out and moving randomly, showing their presence.
“You don’t know how many daddies you have?”
Qin Wanwan honestly shook her head, her little cheeks being pinched, making it difficult to speak clearly: “Don’t know.”
Alright, he’ll let her off for now.
“I’ll keep this jade pendant.”
Qin Wanwan grabbed his clothes anxiously.
“But, but I wanted to send it to Daddy Xie together.”
Daddy Xie was suffering at the border pass, and he was poor.
So Qin Wanwan always thought of him a little more.
Shang Wuyang felt a bit sour in his heart and tapped her little forehead.
“Silly, would you be assured if someone else sent this kind of thing? When you go back to the border pass yourself, giving it to him yourself will be more meaningful.”
The little silly cub was easily persuaded.
“That makes a lot of sense. Then I’ll go back and give it to Daddy personally.”
Thus, Shang Wuyang logically kept the first Qilin jade pendant.
