Chapter 76: Settling Scores After Autumn
Shang Wuyang and Xie Chong were inside the room discussing various details. Outside the room…
Qin Wanwan had fallen asleep on Da Jinzi.
A group of little animals were no longer afraid of the Great Lion and came over, pressing close, surrounding the little ones.
Among them, Ke Ke arrogantly occupied the spot on Qin Wanwan’s chest.
He also used his mouth to hold onto a section of the black tail on her wrist and desperately pulled it outwards.
“Shameless! How old are you already and you’re still coiling around Wanwan’s arm? Do you think you’re still as thin as your finger!”
Xiao Hei is a python. After its first shedding skin by Qin Wanwan’s side, it began to grow wildly.
It was now almost as thick as three fingers and over a meter long.
“I thought you were still a baby, get out!”
Xiao Hei liked to coil around Qin Wanwan’s arm, and it was doing so now, stubbornly refusing to come out.
Finally, Ke Ke got tired. Angrily, he pecked and scratched its tail, but it caused zero harm to Xiao Hei.
This fellow’s scales were truly tough.
That day, Xie Chong did not return.
He came out from Shang Wuyang’s place and asked Colonel Lin what he needed the land for.
Colonel Lin, with a particularly angry expression, explained the matter of potatoes.
Xie Chong, expressionless, went back to find Shang Wuyang to fight.
Shang Wuyang sneered: “Great General Xie is truly imposing, picking a fight with me, a sickly person. Fight then, you beggar who’s been poor for a lifetime.”
Xie Chong: (╬╬ﾟДﾟ)
Xie Chong ultimately couldn’t fight him, but forcefully demanded to discuss clearly the ownership of the potato seeds.
That was a grain crop with a yield of five thousand jin per mu!
Even if this batch wasn’t enough, their border army must have at least half of the next batch of potato seeds!
This was absolutely non-negotiable.
Qin Wanwan had already woken up from her nap.
Holding the gosling and a string of animals, she went to look for Daddy, only to find that the room was not quiet at all.
It seemed like… they had started fighting!
Qin Wanwan: Σ(?д?|||)??
Wait, didn’t they agree not to fight?
She quickly hurried on her short legs to push open the door.
“Daddy…”
“Careful!”
Qin Wanwan saw something flying towards her. Her body reacted faster than her brain, and she hugged the gosling, prostrating herself completely.
“Roar!”
She was fast, but the taller lion behind her suffered.
It was hit squarely in the face with a boot.
Ke Ke said with lingering fear: “Phew, phew, phew, that move was so cool, cub!”
Evasion skills were full marks!
Qin Wanwan’s little face was full of pride.
However, whose boot was that?
Qin Wanwan looked up in bewilderment and saw everyone in the room.
Shang Wuyang and Xie Chong had already walked over to her.
Xie Chong was faster and scooped her up.
Shang Wuyang let out a soft hmph and retracted his outstretched hand.
“Are you alright?”
Qin Wanwan shook her head, her small voice quite proud: “I dodged really fast.”
Da Jinzi: (╬◣д◢)
It was the one that got hurt!
“Daddy, why are you all…”
“We weren’t fighting.”
The two said in unison.
“They started fighting.”
Qin Wanwan, resting on Daddy’s shoulder, stared with her big eyes.
A group of shadow guards wearing ghost masks and border army soldiers were now looking at the sky and the ground, as if nothing had happened.
But in reality, a few shadow guards’ masks were askew, and their hair was messy.
The faces of the border army soldiers were smudged. One of them had his feet exposed to the air, his shoe having flown off.
Okay, the owner of that shoe had been found.
“Ugh… it stinks.”
Most men don’t like to bathe much. Shoes are not breathable and are often worn for running. Those feet, soaked in sweat for a long time, the smell was imaginable.
Shang Wuyang’s face darkened, and he walked directly outside.
The border soldier who lost his shoe scratched his head sheepishly: “Heh heh, this is the smell of us men.”
Qin Wanwan rolled her eyes and urged Daddy to go out quickly.
Everyone else also rushed outside.
That person said aggrievedly: “What’s wrong? Aren’t your smelly feet supposed to smell like this?!”
They were all from the same military camp, so who didn’t know whom? What were they pretending for!
He hopped, trying to pick up his shoe, but met the fierce gaze of the Great Lion.
He: ………..
No, wait for me QAQ
That night, who Qin Wanwan would sleep with became a problem again.
Two daddies sat in front of her, both staring at her, silently urging her to make a choice.
Qin Wanwan timidly proposed: “How about… how about Wanwan sleeps between you two?”
The next second, both daddies’ faces turned grim.
“Think clearly, and say it properly!”
Seeing their gritted teeth, Qin Wanwan shrunk her neck, not daring to speak.
She thought her suggestion was excellent.
One Daddy on the left, one Daddy on the right; no need to choose.
The little girl’s big eyes darted around.
“Then, then let’s draw straws.”
When in doubt, rely on luck.
They prepared two pieces of paper, writing the names of the two people on them respectively.
Qin Wanwan closed her eyes, the slips of paper folded together and tossed casually.
“Choose.”
Shang Wuyang leaned back in his chair, crossing his legs.
However, his posture gave off an air of lazy charm.
Good-looking.
Good-looking people are pleasing to the eye no matter what they do.
Qin Wanwan didn’t hesitate, and her small hand grabbed.
Holding the slip of paper, she opened it.
“It’s Daddy Xie~”
Xie Chong’s expression didn’t change, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Shang Wuyang’s eyes were distant.
The butler lamented heartbrokenly: “City Lord, you’re probably going to lose sleep again tonight. You finally manage to sleep when holding Miss Wanwan, how can your fate be so bitter~~~”
The dramatic performance, full of twists and turns, left Qin Wanwan and Xie Chong stunned.
Shang Wuyang’s thin lips were tightly pursed, his face slightly pale, exuding a sense of brokenness.
“Stop talking, a bet is a bet, cough cough cough…”
Xie Chong: I swear you don’t look like you’ve accepted defeat at all, keep going!
Qin Wanwan felt sad and guilty.
She mustered her courage and grabbed Daddy Shang’s hand with one hand.
“Daddy Shang, I’ll give Daddy Xie to you. He’s very warm.”
Shang Wuyang’s expression changed from this: (*￣︶￣)
to this: (＃`Д′)
He pointed his long fingers outside the door and spat out a word through gritted teeth.
“Scram.”
Qin Wanwan shrunk her neck. Oh no, Daddy Shang was angry!
She quickly grabbed Xie Chong’s hand and, with her short legs, ran off as fast as she could.
What was the problem? Her suggestion was excellent.
Daddy Xie was very warm, like a big furnace, much warmer than Wanwan.
It had been a long time since she slept with Daddy Xie.
Qin Wanwan took a fragrant bath with the help of the maids and snuggled into Daddy’s embrace in bed.
“Daddy Xie, I missed you so much.”
She nuzzled him like a little clingy cat.
“If you missed me, why did you acknowledge another father here?”
Xie Chong’s tone was distant.
Oh no, he was starting to settle accounts.
Qin Wanwan paused, shrinking her head further inside, and completely disappeared into the quilt.
“Daddy, I’m sleeping now.”
Then she played dead.
Xie Chong reached in and grabbed the little coward who was pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed, pulling her out.
“Explain.”
He had received a carrier pigeon outside, and upon learning that this little thing had gone to Shangyang City and gained another father, he had been so angry that he immediately snapped a Tartar’s neck.
