  Shen Yao froze for a second. His pupils trembled slightly and he looked at the little girl’s innocent and naive face.

  When children are at the age of messing around.

  The last thing they should learn is how to behave and be sensible.

  The little girl opened her mouth and recalled what she had to learn and her mother’s scoldings, her heart was touched but she kept a cold face.

  After a while, Shen Yao humphed coldly and mumbled in a low voice, “You know nothing.”


  She grew up under their orders.

  And she lived a life more tiring than other children of her age.

  Her birth didn’t allow her to have other options.

  The little thing tilted her face to the side and slowly crawled towards another direction seeing that Shen Yao didn’t want to talk to her.

  The children were all doing nothing in the room, but without a doubt, the other three mature children all played on their own silently on the side.

  Only Ye Sang rolled around on the carpet.

  When Shen Chuchen opened the door lazily with a hand, he saw a little ball rolling around on the floor.

  “.……” He twitched his lips and almost failed to maintain the deep smile on his face.

  “Come here.” Shen Chuchen waved at her.

  Ye Sang climbed up slowly and asked brightly, “Uncle, are you taking us to look at the colored lanterns?”


  The Lantern Festival was rather bustling here.

  There were a lot of people putting colored lanterns into the lake and guess riddles written on lanterns.

  Shen Chuchen raised an eyebrow, “Colored lanterns?”


  Only this kid would like something so childish.

  “Yes.” The little thing happily hugged his thighs and stared at him without blinking, “How are we going to get out of here?”


  Daddy Huo was so stingy, he definitely won’t let her leave the house.

  Especially if she was going out with Uncle Shen.

  Obviously, Shen Chuchen thought of this too.

  He narrowed his pretty eyes and bent down slightly, pulling a charming smile on his face, “We can sneak out.”


  Ye Sang tilted her head to the side in confusion……

  Sneak out?

  Shen Chuchen rubbed her hand with a laugh and held her meaty little hands while heading outside.

  Rather than sneaking out, it was more like he openly went out with a kid.

  All the people in the Huo family were discussing something evil in the study at this time, who would’ve thought that Shen Chuchen would come here to steal their children anyway?

  When Huo Chenyu saw it, he only pulled his lips and didn’t stop them.

  He could tell that Shen Chuchen didn’t have any bad intentions towards Ye Sang.

  On the contrary, he treated Ye Sang way too well.

  The young boy looked away carelessly. He spun his pen and looked at the math Olympiad questions without speaking.

  Shen Yao saw the two leaving and suddenly felt curious about the Lantern Festival here in City A.

  After hesitating for a few seconds, she couldn’t fight her curiosity and quickly chased after them……

  The city was brightly lit up and people restlessly wandered around the downtown area with lanterns in their hands.

  All the colored lanterns on the street stalls made them dazzled.

  The little thing was too short and all she could see were long legs everywhere.

  Shen Chuchen looked around and frowned. He poked the little thing’s hair in disdain and moved his thin lips, spitting out a word, “Messy.”


  He was born in a common family.

  But he had been in a high position for so long, and the Shen family was filled with well-trained shadow guards. The bustling scene in front of him was extremely messy in his eyes.

  “Why do people even like this kind of noisy place?” Shen Chuchen mumbled to himself but he didn’t notice that the little thing already started to look around her in excitement.

  She pouted because she was too short. Shen Chuchen never took care of a child before and so he didn’t notice Ye Sang’s actions.

  The little thing stood on her tippy toes and jumped in her spot, unwilling to give up looking at the owner of the stall.

  “Sister……” The little thing dragged her milky voice on while looking up and pointed at a rabbit lantern with bright eyes, “Can Sangsang have this?”


  The little girl was in a white dress and her eyes were clean and clear, the way she spoke was adorable too.

  The owner of the stall cupped her face as she fangirled, nodding happily while controlling her screams, “Yes yes!”


  Aahhhh so adorable.

  She’s like a little fairy.

  The owner took the rabbit lantern she pointed at and passed it over, leaning in, and grinned, “Baby fairy, thank you for your hard work and for coming down to the mortal world.”


  Ye Sang couldn’t tell that it was a joke and she even waved her little hands, replying earnestly, “Not at all, not at all.”


  Owner: “.……” How could she be so cute?!!

  After she finished fangirling, she controlled her smile a little and asked the person standing next to the little girl who was suspected to be her father, “Sir?”


  “.……” Shen Chuchen was still spacing out.

  The owner slightly raised her voice, “Sir!”


  Shen Chuchen snapped back and looked at her with cold eyes.

  “What?” Shen Chuchen pulled the corners of his lips, looking like he was going to smile but not yet.

  As a villain who walked horizontally in the empire, it was inevitable for him to feel dumbfounded at the noisy Lantern Festival.

  The owner saw his ugly expressions and asked, “Are you looking after your child at all?”


  “Can’t you see that she can’t reach it?”


  She mumbled, “I’ve never seen a no-good father like you.”


  How did he even become one?

  Shen Chuchen: “.……”


  The little thing stood by the stall and listened to their conversation. The strand on her head shot up uncontrollably and slowly realized that her Uncle Shen was about to explode……

  After all, how did a villain who only wanted to mess things up in the novel understand how to get on in the normal world?

  Shen Chuchen narrowed his eyes and gloomily smiled as he threatened her,

  “The grass is already a meter tall on the grave of the last person who spoke to me like this.”


  Ye Sang: “.……”


  Owner: “.……” Which hospital did this mental guy escape from?

  With a child too.

  Wouldn’t something unexpected happen?

  Shen Chuchen didn’t know that what he thought was fierce sounded like he was mental to normal people.

  The little thing took the rabbit lantern in her hand and asked, “Uncle……”


  “D-Do you have money?”


  Ye Sang puffed her cheeks and straightened her back, worried that he won’t believe her, “I will give it back to you.”


  She wasn’t a liar like Brodda Duan.

  Shen Chuchen raised an eyebrow, “You want it?”


  The little thing nodded obediently, “Yes.”


  She wanted to put it in the lake.

  Shen Chuchen nodded slightly in agreement.

  He wasn’t aware that he was a dad and didn’t say anything such as “I don’t need you to give money back to me”.

  The man took out his black card lazily, smiling like a successful person.

  However.

  Before he could maintain the smile for a few seconds, the owner frowned and informed with an indifferent expression after glancing at the black card, “Sorry sir, all the stalls here don’t accept cards here.”


  Shen Chuchen: “.……”


  What kind of trash system is that?

  His forehead throbbed and asked again, “Cash only?”


  The owner smiled, “Yes.”


  All right.

  Shen Chuchen’s face immediately fell.

  He pondered for a few seconds and suddenly asked earnestly, “Can we return it……” Then?

  Before he could finish the last word, he heard a “kacha” under him.

  The man turned around rigidly and saw the little thing biting into the rabbit’s ears cleanly.

  “.……”


  He stared at the half missing rabbit ear and widened his eyes in disbelief.

  The man grinded his teeth at his empty wallet and frantically interrogated,

  “Rabbits are so cute, why did you eat it?!”


  Are these f****** lanterns even edible?!

  Shen Chuchen’s calmness shattered completely and the man tried to save the rabbit lantern seeing that the little thing was still biting onto the rabbit ear blankly.

  Shen Chuchen pinched her round cheeks and had a complete breakdown, “Spit it out! Did you hear me? Hurry up and spit it out!!”
