Chapter 61: Am I Better Or Is Xie Chong Better?
Upon hearing Qin Wanwan’s words, the rough men of the Border Army immediately put on a show of tough guys shedding tears.
“Wanwan, how can you casually recognize a father? Don’t you recognize our General anymore?”
Qin Wanwan felt a bit guilty for no reason, but… she hadn’t casually recognized a father.
“Daddy Xie Chong is daddy, and Daddy Shang Wuyang is also daddy.”
“They are all daddy!”
Everyone was confused by her.
“No, how can there be two dads? I get it, the City Lord Shang is your adopted father, right!”
The people from the City Lord’s Mansion immediately became displeased again.
The butler smiled outwardly, but his words were not polite at all.
“What this strong man said is a bit funny. In my opinion, the young lady clearly looks more like our City Lord, and your General is the adopted father.”
What a joke! Not to mention the young lady is pleasing to the eye, just the fact that she can let the City Lord sleep soundly means this person must belong to our City Lord’s Mansion!
“Nonsense! Wanwan is definitely my General’s daughter. Who knows what your City Lord looks like? What do you mean she looks like your City Lord? She looks exactly like our General!”
Keke:…………
Forget it. Although your General’s face is also good-looking, it’s too rugged and manly. Their little one is clearly a gentle girl, what do you mean exactly the same!
Qin Wanwan was caught in the middle, swaying left and right, which made her little brows furrowed.
“I, listen to me.”
But the shouting from both sides was too loud, and her small, tender voice was drowned out.
Yin Yuanli appeared at some point and led her away from the ‘battlefield’ by the hand.
“Let’s talk when they’re tired of arguing. Let’s eat something first.”
Yin Yuanli handed her a piece of crystal-clear pastry.
Qin Wanwan opened her mouth and took a bite.
Yin Yuanli fed her again, and she continued to eat.
Like a little hamster, she stuffed her cheeks full.
Keke: “My cub looks so cute when she eats!”
Shang Wuyang also walked over.
“You’re eating quite well, want to explain?”
He pinched the child’s face.
Qin Wanwan’s eyes were sincere: “You are my daddy.”
Keke added from the side: “Although it’s a bit unbelievable, you are the cub’s daddy. Some things are confidential, and you wouldn’t understand if I told you.”
Shang Wuyang did not commit. Did he have a child or not, he himself didn’t know?
The people on the other side finally got tired of arguing.
“Let’s go, Wanwan, we’re leaving immediately, we won’t stay here!”
Damn it, going out for a trip and losing the General’s daughter, who then casually recognized a father.
Qin Wanwan: “I still want to play.”
“Uncle Lin, let’s play for a few more days.”
The Border Army immediately asked: “Then will you go back after playing?”
Qin Wanwan nodded: “Yes, I have to go back to find Daddy Xie Chong.”
Hearing that she still recognized the General as her father, the Border Army soldiers were all relieved.
Otherwise, they really wouldn’t know how to face the General when they returned.
Thinking of this, they looked at Shang Wuyang with their heads held high.
Did you hear that? She is still our General’s daughter!
Shang Wuyang sat on a chair, playing with a jade token in his hand.
“Come here.”
Qin Wanwan, holding the gosling, immediately trotted over.
“What is Daddy?”
The people from the City Lord’s Mansion also glared back with their heads held high.
Did you hear that? She called their City Lord Daddy!
The people from both sides glared at each other, gritting their teeth.
“Here, take it to play with.”
He tossed the jade token in his hand to the child.
The jade was smooth and flawless, with a lifelike little white rabbit carved in the middle.
Qin Wanwan instantly liked it.
Pretty stone.
Take it back, take it back.
“Daddy, you’re so nice.”
Shang Wuyang unexpectedly asked a fatal question.
He grabbed Qin Wanwan’s pigtail, a half-smile on his lips.
“Well then, tell me, am I better or is Xie Chong better, hmm?”
Qin Wanwan: … Suffocated.
This was like the “wife and mother fall into the water, who do you save first” type of fatal question.
“Daddy~”
Little Qin Wanwan tried to get away with cuteness.
Shang Wuyang’s cold fingers moved away, pinching her little neck.
“Hmm? Can’t answer?”
“Is it that difficult?”
Qin Wanwan shrank her neck.
At this moment, almost everyone’s gaze fell upon the child.
Qin Wanwan: Keke, save me, save me!
Keke:…………
Cub, good luck, I really can’t help with this.
Qin Wanwan hummed and burrowed into his arms.
“Daddy, I want to sleep.”
Shang Wuyang looked down at her.
Qin Wanwan let go of the gosling, climbed laboriously onto his thigh, and then suddenly pouted and kissed Shang Wuyang’s chin.
“Daddy, sleep?”
This gesture stunned Shang Wuyang for a moment, and everyone else was also stunned.
Could they… interact like this?
People of this era expressed love in a more reserved way, basically not saying words like “like” and “love,” let alone kissing.
This was true even for father-daughter and father-son relationships.
Many men adhered to the idea of embracing grandchildren but not sons, holding their sons less, and the same applied to daughters.
However, Shang Wuyang didn’t dislike it.
Qin Wanwan saw that he didn’t seem to be asking the previous question anymore and was immediately delighted.
So this trick also worked on daddy.
When she was in the Heavenly Court, when she caused trouble or wanted something, a kiss to her pretty mother would make her compromise.
“Brother Yuanli, let me show you my pretty stone.”
No longer clamoring to sleep, Qin Wanwan got off Shang Wuyang and showed off her treasure stone.
“The stones inside are super beautiful, Daddy said this is called jade, and he took me to see red ones, purple ones, and green ones…”
“Jade.”
Yin Yuanli looked at the stone in Qin Wanwan’s hand.
“Jade ornaments suddenly became popular among nobles three years ago. They were originally City Lord Shang’s industries.”
Jade ornaments were very expensive. Due to their color and texture, after three years of operation, they had become a symbol of status, just like jade.
Not to mention other industries, it was likely that Shang Wuyang made a fortune just from this jade.
Shang Wuyang did not deny it.
“Daddy, can I take Brother Yuanli and the others to play at the City Lord’s Mansion?”
Shang Wuyang got up to leave: “Let the butler take you.”
As for him, he had things to do and was not interested in playing with these people.
The butler led the way with a smile: “Let’s go. It’s also good for the young lady to familiarize herself with the City Lord’s Mansion, as she will be considered a little master of our City Lord’s Mansion in the future.”
“Hey, you old man, what nonsense are you talking about? We already said Wanwan is our General’s daughter, ours!”
The butler snorted dismissively. He admitted that Xie Chong had some abilities, but in terms of financial resources, he couldn’t compare to their City Lord at all.
Raising a child, especially a little girl, must be done with wealth!
