Chapter 141: Can Wanwan Not Go Back?
This day, Qin Wanwan and Keke were both at home messing around.
Tonight, Father Shang did not return. He only sent word saying he was busy and would not be back tonight.
He also sent her some favorite pastries and snacks.
Qin Wanwan propped her small chin: “I miss Father Shang so much, and Father Xie.”
“Keke, what do you think I should send to Father Xie?”
“That’s right, I saw someone making clay figurines on the street that day. I’ll ask the boss to make a few for me to give to Father Xie.”
“And those snacks I like, I’ll buy Father Xie some more clothes. He hasn’t changed those few sets of clothes in a long time, and also boots…”
Qin Wanwan sat by the stove to warm herself, counting the things she wanted to buy for Father Xie on her small fingers.
Father Shang’s merchant caravan was about to return. It was heard that the soybean products brought from the border pass were very popular.
As she figured it out, she missed her fathers again, but neither of her fathers were here.
Keke: “Cub, your neighbor’s father is back!”
Qin Wanwan’s eyes lit up instantly. Oh right, there was also Father Rong.
Although he didn’t admit to being her father yet.
Qin Wanwan, dressed in a fluffy white kitten onesie, ran to the neighbor’s house with her small pillow.
Rong Zhi was somewhat surprised when a servant said that the chubby cub from next door had arrived.
“Let her in.”
Qin Wanwan walked in, holding her pillow, her little head drooping, looking very pitiful.
Rong Zhi looked at her carrying the pillow and couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
His many years of cultivation were constantly difficult to maintain in front of this little chubby cub.
Qin Wanwan, holding her pillow, with her delicately carved little face, looked at him with her big, moist eyes eagerly.
Rong Zhi also looked at her: “Why have you come over now?”
It was already dark now, the kind that required lanterns for walking.
And it was so cold.
Qin Wanwan shuffled her feet over to him: “Lord Rong, can you take me in for the night?”
A soft, mellow, milky voice, a beautiful little face full of grievance.
Even a heart of stone would melt.
Rong Zhi looked up at her: “Were you kicked out?”
Qin Wanwan pouted: “Of course not, Father Shang would never kick me out.”
Rong Zhi asked a servant to bring a hand warmer.
“Since you weren’t kicked out, why are you here?”
His voice was as clear and pleasant as ever, unhurried.
“Father Shang didn’t come back tonight.”
Rong Zhi chuckled: “So your father didn’t come back, and you came here?”
Qin Wanwan insisted: “You are also my father.”
The servant brought the hand warmer, and Rong Zhi asked Qin Wanwan to extend her hand, giving her the warm hand warmer.
“Go back. Your father isn’t at the mansion, and neither are the servants. You won’t be kidnapped in your own home.”
Qin Wanwan’s eyes welled up with tears, and this time she really wanted to cry.
“Please don’t send me away.”
The little girl’s fingers clutched a corner of his clothes, like a little kitten about to be abandoned.
She called out softly and pitifully.
“I always sleep with my daddy. I can’t sleep when he’s not here, I’m scared.”
Rong Zhi crouched down, his phoenix eyes looking directly at her: “I am not your father.”
“You are.”
The little girl’s expression was very stubborn: “You are my Father Rong.”
She took a few steps closer to him. Seeing that he didn’t refuse, the timid little Qilin gradually became bolder and squeezed herself into his arms.
Rong Zhi had a very cool and clean scent about him. As the little Qilin got closer, she felt incredibly safe.
“Daddy.”
Rong Zhi’s fingers curled slightly, and he lowered his gaze to the little girl, whose soft black hair swirl was all he could see.
Hearing her softly call him daddy, Rong Zhi admitted that his heart had softened.
He had germophobia, disliked being touched, and also disliked children.
But at this moment, he had to admit that he did not dislike Qin Wanwan’s closeness, and even his heart had softened.
How ridiculous, what outsiders didn’t know was that he, who appeared noble and gentle on the outside, was actually very cold on the inside.
Gentleness was just his mask.
Perhaps even heaven was helping Qin Wanwan.
It started raining outside, and there was thunder.
Qin Wanwan secretly looked up: “Daddy, it’s raining, can’t Wanwan go back?”
“Daddy, I sleep very well. You can just treat me like a pillow, okay?”
“Daddy…”
Calling him “Daddy” was becoming more and more natural.
Rong Zhi pinched his brow, and finally sighed: “Stay.”
Qin Wanwan’s eyes widened, and a smile bloomed on her face.
Like peach blossoms just opening, her face was tender and rosy.
Qin Wanwan successfully stayed and happily followed Rong Zhi around his heels.
Rong Zhi told her to go to sleep first, but the little one was reluctant.
“I want to sleep with Daddy.”
“Don’t call me Daddy.”
His tone was filled with helplessness. He had lost count of how many times he had corrected her.
Qin Wanwan desperately found an excuse: “But I think calling you Lord Rong doesn’t sound good, calling you Daddy sounds better.”
Rong Zhi: …What a terrible reason.
In short, the little chubby cub was like a tail he couldn’t shake off.
She even followed Rong Zhi to the bathing room.
Then, Rong Zhi expressionlessly picked her up and handed her to a maid.
“Keep an eye on her.”
Then he turned and closed the door.
Qin Wanwan didn’t leave either. She sat outside on a small stool and waited.
When Rong Zhi emerged, smelling of water, with his ink-black hair loose, wearing a snow-white robe, Qin Wanwan immediately ran over.
Then she looked at her father with sparkling eyes.
“Daddy, you look so good!”
In the night, Chancellor Rong was like a celestial being, elegant and refined.
No wonder Lin Wan’e was captivated by just one look.
The butler of the Prime Minister’s Mansion and the servants were all greatly alarmed when they saw Qin Wanwan hug Rong Zhi’s leg.
The Prime Minister had never allowed anyone to get close to him. Even the maids who served him personally only helped prepare his clothes.
What was even more shocking was that he hadn’t pushed her away!
After his shock, the butler quickly composed himself and looked at Qin Wanwan with a different expression.
For the Prime Minister to allow someone this close, this child was extraordinary.
Rong Zhi took her to the bedroom.
“Daddy, is this your sleeping room? The bed is so big, it can fit two people. I’m so small, I won’t take up much space.”
Everyone thought that letting the child get close was shocking enough for the butler and servants, but they didn’t expect something even more shocking.
At this moment, the butler’s heart was in turmoil. He had lost control of his expression and watched with wide eyes as the child climbed onto the bed, yet their Prime Minister did not stop her.
The butler’s voice trembled: “My Lord, this… Miss Qin is going to be with you?”
Before Rong Zhi could answer, the excited Qin Wanwan nodded heavily.
“Yes, yes! Tonight Wanwan wants to sleep with Daddy!”
The butler’s eyes widened, and he glanced at the Prime Minister.
His expression seemed to say, ‘My Lord, she called you Daddy, you should refute it!!!’
The butler’s heart was screaming like a wild boar.
Rong Zhi: I’m tired, I don’t want to correct her anymore.
Children have their own ideas, and they are very stubborn.
Today, she was determined to call him Daddy.
“You all go down.”
Rong Zhi closed the door. The butler outside was struck by lightning.
His Lord actually didn’t refute it!!!
