  Shen Chuchen blinked his pretty and alluring eyes in shock as the little girl’s hug caught him off guard.

  She was as warm as a ball of marshmallow in his arms.

  Her soft voice sounded next to his ears and he hugged her tightly in silence, resting his chin on her shoulder and felt dazzled.

  The emptiness in his heart was slowly filled up with something called ‘warmth’.

  He suddenly thought of something and smiled lightly, picking the little thing up from the ground.

  Ye Sang’s body suddenly left the floor as she widened her eyes and hugged Shen Chuchen’s neck subconsciously.

  The man called her after a while, “.…… Little thing.”

  The little thing looked up at him, “Huh?”

  Shen Chuchen smiled, “Nothing.”

  “I just wanted to say that I regret it now.”

  He spoke slowly, “Sleep with me tonight.”

  Ye Sang didn’t think that the cheap uncle would change his mind in the middle of it. She yawned softly and buried her little head in his arms, asking softly, “T-Then will you go to school with Sangsang for the parent-teacher conference?”

  Shen Chuchen didn’t expect her to still remember about it at a time like this. He put the little bun on the bed and watched Ye Sang rub her eyes, then skillfully rolled into the corner, staring at him without blinking.

  But before Shen Chuchen spoke, the little thing patted the bed as if she just discovered a new land, wrapped herself in the blanket, and rolled on the bed.

  She was like a little cocoon, a little round ball.

  “Uncle……” She poked her round head out and her eyes were bright, “Your bed is so soft.”

  Shen Chuchen looked at the mess on the bed.

  “.……”

  “Little thing,” He grinded his teeth and threatened gloomily, “Go to sleep, right now.”

  It’s so late already.

  Where did she get all this energy from?

  Ye Sang rubbed her eyes and rolled off into the corner, dragging her milky voice on to negotiate with him:

  “Can uncle sleep with me?”

  “.……” Shen Chuchen moved his mouth slightly as he watched the eager little girl, eventually replying with a low ‘mhm‘.

  Whatever.

  She’s only a child.

  He can spoil her.

  Shen Chuchen would never admit that the moment Ye Sang opened the door and hugged him, his heart grew wild with joy. ……

  When the man got in bed, Ye Sang yawned and rolled into his arms.

  In the next second, the little thing met Shen Chuchen’s beautiful eyes—

  Ye Sang leaned in and kissed him on the cheek, then she whispered sweetly, “Uncle, good night.”

  “.……” For once, blankness appeared on Shen Chuchen’s devilish face after the kiss.

  He looked down at the little ball in his arms in a dazzle and pulled his lips.

  Did he just……

  Get harassed by a child?

  Shen Chuchen looked at the asleep child and his face was filled with confusion.

  “Little thing, Ye Sangsang, wake up!” He stretched a hand out and pinched Ye Sang’s cheeks, unexpectedly finding out that it was quite a nice touch.

  Ye Sang subconsciously covered her face and a little ‘wu‘ escaped.

  She wanted to sleep.

  Shen Chuchen heard her whimper and he couldn’t help but smile. He leaned in hesitantly and saw that Ye Sang was already fast asleep, he took revenge and kissed the little thing back on her cheeks.

  Ye Sang covered the part where he kissed her and pouted, burying herself in his arms.

  The man watched the little thing curling up in his arms quietly and snorted slightly,

  “Sleep.”

  *

  Early the next morning……

  When the little thing was still sleeping soundly in bed, someone suddenly picked her up.

  She opened her eyes sleepily and stared for a few seconds before her eyes drooped.

  “U-Uncle……”

  Shen Chuchen saw that the brat still slept when she was picked up and his lips twitched and he yelled,

  “Stop sleeping.”

  “Get the hell up!!”

  Ye Sang was startled and the hair on her head shot up in horror too.

  She stared at him in a silly way, like she got struck by lightning.

  Shen Chuchen waved a hand in front of her and reminded her with a grin, “get up.”

  He continued, “All of your three brothers are up already.”

  When she heard that her broddas were awake, she dragged on her voice and replied sleepily. “Bwut……”

  “Sangsang wants to sleep.”

  Shen Chuchen: “.……”

  When he saw that she’d rather die than get up, he gave up and forcefully dragged her up and strode downstairs with her as he stated,

  “You are definitely the laziest child I’ve ever met.”

  All of the shadow guards in the Shen family were picked by five-year-old children by the last head of the house.

  Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

  All those who remained were proved to be the most talented.

  The little thing humphed as she rested on his shoulder. She rubbed her eyes and accused, “If it wasn’t for you, Sangsang wouldn’t have gotten up late.”

  Shen Chuchen’s peach blossom-like eyes curved up slightly with a gentleness that he didn’t even notice himself.

  He remembered her coming in to comfort him in the middle of the night and smiled lightly, “I’ll go to the parent-teacher conference for you later.”

  “Go brush your teeth and wash your face.”

  The little thing nodded and saw her three older brothers sitting by the dining table when she came down.

  “Brodda……” Ye Sang called sweetly.

  But they didn’t know which brother she was calling.

  Duan Jinyan’s beautiful eyes raised slightly and asked lazily, “Little sister, which brother are you calling?”

  The little thing blinked blankly at the ‘child trafficker’ and hid behind Huo Chenyu.

  “Brodda……” she called in a tiny voice.

  Duan Jinyan rested his head on his hand and his lips curved upwards, replying with a smile, “Brother is here.”

  “Will you die if you don’t talk?” Huo Chenyu looked at him coldly, unable to tolerate anymore.

  He discovered that this guy really liked to tease his little sister.

  Duan Jinyan: “.……”

  Tsk.

  This pair of siblings is so unfriendly.

  *

  When the table finally quieted down, the housekeeper realized that his moody master looked rather happy today……?

  Housekeeper Shen rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

  “Oi, did you notice that our owner……is a bit weird today?” Special Assistant Liu rubbed his chin thoughtfully on the side.

  “When it’s the old madam’s death anniversary, doesn’t our master always put on a gloomy face and go out to stir up chaos before calming down?”

  Did he……take the wrong medicine today?

  Everyone exchanged a confused glance with each other. ……

  At this moment, a Rolls-Royce stopped outside Jiyue Kindergarten silently.

  Special Assistant Zhao yawned sleepily.

  He couldn’t understand why his boss had to come here so early in the morning.

  Judging from his dark face, others who didn’t know would think that someone took his wife or something.

  “Boss……ahem.” Special Assistant Zhao cleared his throat and asked, “A-Are you here for an inspection?”

  As the biggest school for nobles in the capital, half the students here were heirs of the wealthy families in the circle.

  With his boss’ demented personality, is he……bombing the school after losing his daughter?

  Special Assistant Zhao inhaled deeply and jumped at his silly assumption.

  Huo Yao closed his eyes to rest and replied calmly and leisurely, “Mhm. Inspection.”

  And grab her on the way. ……

  The Shen family.

  The little girl rubbed her cheeks after finishing breakfast. She looked up with clear eyes, looking much more awake than before.

  “Uncle,” Ye Sang stood on her tippy toes and grabbed a corner of the man’s black coat, shaking her head, “You can’t fight there.”

  He’s going to a meeting with the teachers, not take some people there to bomb the school.

  Her uncle sat there with one leg over the other arrogantly, looking like he was saying: “I’m the freaking best in the world”, and Ye Sang doubted his motive.

  He would probably get arrested for looking like a terrorist before he even gets to her school.

  Shen Chuchen leaned back in the chair and paused in the middle of a yawn. He glanced at the little thing and sneered: “little thing worrying a bit too much, aren’t you?”

  Ye Sang slowly climbed onto him and hugged his neck tightly with her lotus root-like arms.

  The man had a cold fragrance on him. He smiled a little and quickly hugged the soft little bun, raising his tone lazily, “What’s up?”

  “Don’t kill anyone, please……” Ye Sang’s fringe parted to the side and revealed her pretty little face as she poked him, “I’ll buy tanghulu 1for you in the future……”

  The little thing pouted and her eyes were clean.

  Her heart was as clear as a mirror.

  Although Daddy Huo Yao did many bad things, he rarely kills anyone.

  Shen Chuchen was different.

  He had been fighting against the grim reaper since he was born and no one who opposed him survived.

  Shen Chuchen pulled his lips and pointed at himself in disbelief, “You?”

  “Buying me tanghulu?”

  Hah?

  He, a big character who kills without blinking, is getting treated to a tanghulu by a little girl?

  “You are kidding me.” Shen Chuchen poked her forehead and sneered, “It’s impossible that I don’t stir up trouble, it’s impossible in this lifetime.”

  If a villain doesn’t stir up problems, then how is he still a villain?

  This little thing surely thought too nicely of it.

  Ye Sang shook her head in certainty, “Then you haven’t seen the diverse aspects of the society yet.”

  “.……” Shen Chuchen couldn’t hold the smile. He leaned in slightly and looked at her, forcing a fake smile, “Who are you talking about?”

  Ye Sang shrank her neck back and squeezed a word out firmly, “You.”

  Shen Chuchen narrowed his eyes, “Me? And why’s that?”

  After all, everyone flees at his sight when he’s out there and now a little brat’s saying that he hasn’t been through much.

  How could he tolerate that?

  Ye Sang fixed her gaze on him and her eyes smiled:

  “Then have you had tanghulu before?”

  Shen Chuchen sneered coldly in disdain.

  “Why the hell would I eat something so childish.”

  He had all sorts of delicacies and he would never bother with tanghulu.

  The little thing smiled sweet and threw her soft body over, asking softly, “Then wait for Sangsang to come on the weekend, I’ll take you out for food!”

  The man froze at the milky smell that filled his arms. He caught the little soft ball and her sweet words sounded next to his ears. Shen Chuchen’s eyes softened slightly but his mouth was stubborn, “Weekend?”

  “Tomorrow?”

  The little thing nodded and tilted her face sideways, “Sangsang will take you out to play.”

  She thought that Shen Chuchen would be reluctant but he agreed rather decisively this time. The man smiled and replied with amusement, “Okay.”

  It was his first time he was getting invited and not an occasion he had to avoid.

  This new experience made Shen Chuchen feel somewhat excited.

  The driver sat in the front and twitched his lips.

  Ah, two children, one dares to make a suggestion and one dares to listen.

  *

  After Shen Chuchen got off the car, he put a hand in his pocket like he was a father as he strode towards the teacher’s office.

  Ye Sang stomped in grief.

  What a dog uncle!!

  Her grievance made Special Assistant Zhao’s heart hurt as he sat in the Rolls-Royce.

  He muttered, “What’s wrong with Head Shen? Fine, he brought our young miss to school, but can’t he see that our child has short legs? Can’t he carry her?”

  “Boss……” After a pause, Special Assistant Zhao turned to his boss, whose face was so dark that he looked like he was about to murder someone, and plucked up the courage, “Are you really not going to check on them?” ……

  What if he actually kidnaps your daughter?

  As the proverb goes, a villain’s hunting dog is also a villain.

  Special Assistant Zhao had worked with Huo Yao for too long and his heart was exceptionally cold and stiff, he had already forgotten what it felt like to feel bad for someone.

  He mumbled to himself, “But really, my heart feels too soft when young miss left the director-general’s office.”

  “Head Shen spent an entire night with our young miss, what if they actually develop feelings?”

  Huo Yao couldn’t sit still now that Special Assistant Zhao had said it.

  “Ah……” Special Assistant Zhao sighed again, “Boss, your personality isn’t as nice as Head Shen in the first place. At least he smiles when he sees people, but what about you?”

  “You always have a cold face and children would probably cry because they are scared.”

  The more he spoke, the colder Huo Yao’s face became.

  In the end, he couldn’t tolerate it anymore, “I think they need more people in Africa.”

  “You graduated from a famous school after all and you’ve worked at the Huo family for so long, surely you need someone else to do something as easy as mining?”

  Huo Yao pulled a fake smile, “I think you’ll fit the job perfectly.”

  “.……” Special Assistant Zhao felt unwell from all these.

  It was the first time Huo Yao said this much to him.

  Yet he didn’t like a single freaking word of it!! ……

  The man finally made the chatterbox shut up. He calmed down and looked in Ye Sang’s direction.

  He still looked indifferent without any intentions of getting out to pick the little thing up.

  Huo Yao pursed his thin lips together and his thoughts wandered.

  If Shen Chuchen’s not going to pick this little idiot up for a while, he’ll just have to do the difficult job.

  However……

  As soon as he thought of this, he stared as Shen Chuchen made a turn and walked back.

  Huo Yao almost had a breakdown.

  “.……”

  He stared at Shen Chuchen coldly.

  You were gone, why the f*** did you come back?
