Chapter 153: Rong Zhi Discovers Horns
Although a little unusual, Rong Zhi still accepted the little Qilin’s kindness.
He suddenly squatted down and touched Qin Wanwan’s forehead.
He wasn’t sure if the lump he saw just now was an illusion, he needed to check.
Qin Wanwan: “(oДo*)
Keke: !!!∑(°Д°)
“I saw a lump here just now, you must have hurt yourself…”
He didn’t finish his sentence, Rong Zhi looked at what appeared on the little girl’s forehead in astonishment.
It wasn’t a lump from falling, but a small, cute, jade-like little horn.
Keke: “Oops, I’ve been discovered.”
Rong Zhi subconsciously looked towards the doorway.
The guards were all well-behaved and didn’t peek into the room.
“Close the door.”
“Yes.”
The servant guard respectfully closed the door, and only then did Rong Zhi carefully lift Qin Wanwan’s hat.
When he saw the two little horns emerging from her forehead, his pupils contracted.
“What is this?”
His finger brushed over the little horn.
“It tickles, Daddy, it tickles.”
Qin Wanwan rubbed her head against his finger, humming that it tickled.
Rong Zhi let go, now in a half-squatting position facing Qin Wanwan, his eyes looking down at her.
Qin Wanwan wasn’t afraid at all of being discovered; instead, she happily shared with him.
“Daddy, look, aren’t my horns good-looking?”
Naive and completely guileless.
Rong Zhi suddenly worried. If this little one went out, she would probably be deceived; she looked so foolish and without any cunning.
“You are not human?”
He had read storybooks about spirits and monsters, and even strange books like the “Classic of Mountains and Seas”.
But he never imagined that one day, a little spirit would truly appear beside him.
Qin Wanwan looked at him eagerly.
Rong Zhi asked again: “Why do you call me Daddy?”
If he had thought Qin Wanwan was randomly choosing fathers before, he was now a bit unsure.
Qin Wanwan’s eyes were clear and serious: “Because Father Rong is my Daddy.”
She wasn’t lying.
Rong Zhi’s fingers, resting at his side, curled up.
“Then what about Shang Wuyang?”
Qin Wanwan: “He is also Wanwan’s Daddy.”
Rong Zhi frowned: “Are you sure he is your Daddy and not your Mother?”
Thinking of Shang Wuyang’s face, Rong Zhi at that moment couldn’t help but suspect he was cross-dressing.
After all, this era had many restrictions on women, and it was rare for women to be in business.
He reasonably suspected that Shang Wuyang was cross-dressing for convenience.
And he suspected Shang Wuyang was not human, otherwise how could this situation be explained?
So, the question was, Rong Zhi didn’t remember having any relationship with any woman, given his self-discipline and cleanliness obsession.
Could it be that he had lost his memory?
At this moment, Rong Zhi only knew that Qin Wanwan called him and Shang Wuyang “Daddy,” and guessing with only two fathers known, his guess was not as accurate as Shang Wuyang’s.
Keke almost died laughing at Rong Zhi’s words, hahaha… if the petty Shang Wuyang knew Rong Zhi called him a woman, he would probably explode with anger, hahaha…
However, it also maliciously didn’t correct Rong Zhi.
Rong Zhi asked again: “Are you really sure I am your Daddy? How did you confirm it?”
Qin Wanwan raised her arm, her small hand touching his furrowed brow.
“Daddy, don’t frown. You look better when you smile.”
“Father Shang is either Mother, or Daddy.”
Rong Zhi: It seems I need to ask Shang Wuyang. The little girl is only a little over three years old; she probably doesn’t understand many things herself.
He didn’t rush to find Shang Wuyang next door right away but put Qin Wanwan’s hat back on.
“Does Wanwan know what she is?”
Qin Wanwan: “***”
Rong Zhi paused in the action of putting on her hat: “What did you say?”
Qin Wanwan was already used to it: “Daddy, you can’t hear me when I say it. Father Shang and the others are like this, you can only guess it yourself.”
Rong Zhi lowered his gaze, such a thing actually happened.
At this moment, he didn’t know what Qin Wanwan’s “others” referred to, only thinking of Shang Wuyang and the people around him.
Without dwelling on it, Rong Zhi solemnly instructed her.
“Besides me and Shang Wuyang, who else knows about your horns?”
Qin Wanwan counted on her fingers: “There’s Keke, the little fox, the Great Lion, Eagle Boss…”
“Stop, animals don’t count.”
“Then no one else.”
Rong Zhi nodded slightly: “Then don’t let anyone else see them in the future.”
Then his phoenix-like eyes sharply stared at someone who was cackling foolishly.
“And you, if you speak of this, you can forget about your voice.” He said seriously, not joking.
Keke almost fell off the curio shelf.
Good heavens, everyone is more ruthless than the last!
Keke said righteously: “I would never say anything; the cub and I are the closest!”
Rong Zhi sneered: “Heh, I hope so.”
At this moment, his expression was no longer masked.
Ironically, Rong Zhi himself couldn’t believe that the moment he discovered Qin Wanwan wasn’t human, his first thought wasn’t to explore her origins and exploit her, but to protect her.
He, a person so skilled in scheming, had developed a protective instinct towards a little child he had only known for a short time.
He gently pinched Qin Wanwan’s little face, and Rong Zhi, holding her hand, walked to the guqin beside them.
Qin Wanwan wanted to learn the guqin herself. She sat to the side, her small hands propping up her chin as she stared intently at her Daddy playing a piece.
It sounded good!
It looked good!
Her Father Rong looked incredibly ethereal when playing the guqin. He was so good-looking; no wonder that transmigrator was completely infatuated with him.
“Daddy, can you teach me to play chess too?”
Rong Zhi tilted his head slightly to look at her: “Don’t be greedy.”
She was already thinking of other things before even starting to learn the guqin.
Qin Wanwan pouted: “But Father Shang bullies me. I played chess with him today and didn’t win a single time.”
She didn’t even understand the game before her Daddy declared her the loser.
Rong Zhi’s lips twitched slightly: “If I recall correctly, you haven’t learned to play chess yet, have you?”
Qin Wanwan honestly nodded.
Rong Zhi’s fingertip plucked a high note on the strings and he sneered.
“Then he is truly accomplished.”
Playing chess with a child who hasn’t learned yet, what a thick skin.
“I will teach you slowly later.”
He was very patient with Qin Wanwan.
Unlike learning to read, Qin Wanwan wasn’t completely inept at learning the guqin.
However, her fingers were tender, and prolonged plucking of the strings could injure them.
Fortunately, since she was just starting, some basic knowledge didn’t require plucking the strings.
“When we officially start practicing on the guqin later, I will have someone make you a set of finger guards so that your fingers won’t get hurt.”
Qin Wanwan nodded.
Her little head couldn’t hold too much knowledge right now. Rong Zhi noticed she was struggling a bit and stopped, only asking her to remember what she had been taught earlier.
Slowly remember every note on the guqin strings.
Then he let the little one play by herself in front of the guqin while he went to handle his official duties.
As it was almost time for dinner, Qin Wanwan clung to Rong Zhi’s long legs like an octopus.
“Father Rong, can you come with me to Father Shang’s place for dinner? Let’s eat together!”
