Chapter 53: Baby Is Really So Difficult!
Seeing the little one visibly flustered, Shang Wuyang’s smile widened.
“Indeed, the younger one is more fun.”
Easy to trick.
He took out a small porcelain bottle, smeared some of the milky white paste inside onto his finger, and then rubbed it on her forehead.
It was cool and fragrant.
“All done.”
Qin Wanwan looked at him eagerly, “Will Wanwan be disfigured?”
Shang Wuyang pinched her little chin and examined her for a moment, “Such a beautiful face, what a shame it would be to ruin it.”
“Don’t worry, you won’t be disfigured.”
However, looking at her closely, her features were indeed quite similar to his own.
Do all good-looking people share some similarities?
Shang Wuyang thought narcissistically, his cool fingertips tapping Qin Wanwan’s eyes.
Except for the eyes.
“Cub, I almost died. Your father’s shadow guards are practically devils, so crazed that they wouldn’t even let a bird go!”
Qin Wanwan quickly comforted Keke, looking at the fur on Keke’s belly that had fallen out quite badly, and quickly rummaged through the surrounding fur to cover it up.
If Keke found out, he would definitely cry.
Keke was still a bit vain.
He lifted Keke up with one hand.
Shang Wuyang propped up his chin, his purple eyes behind the mask staring at Keke.
“A talking bird, that’s fun. Shall I find someone to make a golden cage for it?”
Keke struggled hard, “Ahhh, what kind of devil are you? Why would you cage a bird?”
Those eyes…
Keke felt a bit intimidated under his gaze.
My heavens, Wanwan’s father has inherited the Qilin eyes.
Shang Wuyang’s purple eyes were beautiful, as deep as dark purple jade, imbued with a mysterious ancient charm.
But such eyes were unwelcome among the people of the Central Plains with their black hair and black eyes; they were considered foreign.
Keke whimpered fearfully, “Big Boss, please don’t cage the bird. The bird is cub’s companion and won’t run away.”
Qin Wanwan nodded vigorously from the side, “Daddy, don’t scare Keke.”
Keke said, “Cub, you’re amazing. You recognized Daddy even when Keke wasn’t here!”
Qin Wanwan tilted her little face up, a little proud, “I listened to Keke and pretended to scam Daddy when I saw him.”
Keke: … You really don’t need to say that so openly in front of the person himself!
Shang Wuyang smiled ambiguously, “So it was you who taught her…”
His words were filled with meaning.
Keke: I’m going to die! Being stared at by those eyes is terrifying!
Keke tilted his head and pretended to be dead.
“Keke, Daddy, please give Keke back to me, Daddy…”
The little one called out “Daddy” repeatedly, with remarkable proficiency.
She had certainly gotten into the role of daughter well.
Shang Wuyang returned the bird, who was feigning death, to her.
Qin Wanwan pinched Keke’s delicate feet.
Keke quickly burrowed into Qin Wanwan’s embrace and hid himself.
Qin Wanwan remembered her companions outside.
Holding Keke, she started to run out.
But after only two steps, the little one was grabbed by her collar and pulled back.
“Where are you going? Weren’t you supposed to warm my bed? Now warm my hands first.”
Qin Wanwan didn’t struggle, only said her request in a childlike voice.
“I need to go find Brother Yuanli.”
Their eyes met, and Qin Wanwan’s clear, clean eyes reflected Shang Wuyang’s purple eyes.
There was no fear, nor disgust.
After a moment of looking at each other, Shang Wuyang stood up.
Although he was thin, he was tall.
About the same height as Xie Chong, but more slender.
His skin had a sickly pallor.
Holding Qin Wanwan with both hands, he seemed to be holding a hand warmer.
Shang Wuyang, draped in a mink fur cloak, walked out holding Qin Wanwan.
The people outside were still in a standoff. Yin Yuanli stood at the forefront with a cold little face, a small figure exuding an undeniable aura.
The room door opened, and everyone looked over.
The Ghost Mask Shadow Guards voluntarily separated into two lines, clearing a path for Shang Wuyang.
“Crown Prince Tianqi, your reputation is well-deserved.”
Yin Yuanli first glanced at Qin Wanwan. Seeing that her eyes were bright and she was smiling foolishly at him, he was reassured that she was fine.
Then he met Shang Wuyang’s gaze, showing no fear.
“I have long admired City Lord Shang’s name.”
Shang Wuyang’s voice was lazy, giving a sense of casual relaxation.
“I’ve seen the person, and I’m taking her with me.”
The first sentence was to Qin Wanwan, the second to Yin Yuanli and his group.
Relaxed, and overbearing.
Yin Yuanli frowned. Before he could speak, some of the border guards couldn’t help but speak up.
“Who are you taking? That’s our General’s daughter. Give Wanwan back to us.”
Shang Wuyang looked down at Qin Wanwan.
Qin Wanwan’s little eyes darted away, clearly guilty.
“Oh? Xie Chong?”
He guessed who the general was without even asking.
Shang Wuyang sneered sarcastically, “He’s a lifelong bachelor, where would he get a daughter?”
Border guards: …
“It’s none of your business where our General got his daughter. Do you have any shame, snatching someone else’s daughter!”
Shang Wuyang pinched Qin Wanwan’s little face.
“Little one, tell them if you want to come with me, hmm?”
Qin Wanwan’s little head ached a bit.
Daddy, you split yourself into five, it’s really hard for baby.
She said, “Uncle Lin, Uncle Song, I… I’ll come find you in a few days.”
How was she supposed to explain that this was also her father? Her biological father, at that.
“This, this is also my Daddy.”
Qin Wanwan said stammeringly.
Both were biological fathers.
Yin Yuanli was expressionless, his mind working to figure out the situation.
The border guards were dumbfounded.
What, what did she mean by “this is also her father”?!
Oh right, Wanwan was found by their General. Could this be Wanwan’s biological father whom she’d never met!
At this moment, the Ghost Mask Shadow Guards behind Shang Wuyang all glanced at Qin Wanwan discreetly.
The expressions on their faces beneath their masks were somewhat shocked.
What did that child just call their City Lord? Daddy?!!!
Although their City Lord liked beautiful women around to serve him, they, who were inseparable from the City Lord, knew clearly that the City Lord had never been involved with any woman.
So when did such a grown daughter appear?
Shang Wuyang admitted his identity as a father with an unflustered expression.
The border guards truly believed Shang Wuyang was Qin Wanwan’s biological father, and felt a bit awkward for a moment.
However, having spent so much time with her, they were reluctant to part with Qin Wanwan, and they had promised the General to take good care of her and bring her back.
“Miss Wanwan, the General will miss you. Can you bear to leave him like this?”
Qin Wanwan quickly shook her head, “I have to go back. I have to go back to Daddy.”
The border guards were immediately pleased, “Then you…”
Shang Wuyang pinched Qin Wanwan’s little face, “She’s going back with me now.”
Without giving them time to react, he left directly with Qin Wanwan.
The border guards were enraged, “How can you be more unreasonable than us? Wanwan is our General’s daughter, put her down!”
