Although Xiao Ying had mentioned before that Wan Bao’s biological father was not Tang En, the young Wan Bao had not really understood what she had meant.

  All her friends in the kindergarten only had one papa.

  Her papa was Tang En.

  She did not know what a biological father was.

  “Mommy, I only want Papa Tang En. I don’t want another Papa…” Before Xiao Ying could finish, Wan Bao started to cry.

  The world of children was extremely simple.

  From the moment Wan Bao was born, it was Tang En who took care of her, fed her milk, changed her diapers, taught her to talk, walked, sent her to school, and played with her… In Wan Bao’s memories, Papa Tang En was the best Papa.

  She did not want to have another father.

  Previously, whenever Wan Bao cried, Xiao Ying would never mention this again.

  But she knew that she could not delay this any longer.

  She had to tell Wan Bao the truth.

  Xiao Ying did not wipe away the tears on Wan Bao’s face. Instead, she told her directly, “Wan Bao, Cool Uncle is your biological father. If it wasn’t for him, you wouldn’t exist. Back then, when Mommy was pregnant with you, she separated from him because of some things. He didn’t know of your existence and only found out that you were his daughter when he came here not too long ago.”


  “Papa Tang En dotes on you, but your biological Daddy dotes on you too. Mommy knows your feelings for Papa Tang En, but you have to try to accept your biological daddy, okay?”


  Wan Baoxiu’s nose was red from crying. She sniffled and said, “Mommy, do you not like Papa Tang En anymore? Do you want to be with Cool Uncle and not Papa Tang En anymore?”


  Xiao Ying wanted to say more, but she realized that she could not push Wan Bao too hard. Wan Bao had spent too little time with Long Ming and did not know him well, nor could she feel too much of his fatherly love. They still needed time together.

  Xiao Ying wiped the tears on Wan Bao’s face and said with heartache, “Alright baby, you’re still too young for some things. You wouldn’t understand even if Mommy explained it to you, but promise Mommy not to resist your Daddy, okay? He loves you very much and needs you by his side very much.”


  Wan Bao nodded.

  …


  Long Ming only returned to his bedroom after a whole day at work.

  During the day, he had called Xiao Ying twice and had sent her a message too, but she had not replied.

  He did not like long-distance relationships. He was busy with work every day. If he wanted to see her, he could only video call her.

  When he returned to the palace in the middle of the night, he wanted to hug her to sleep, but it could only happen in his dreams.

  Long Ming got out of the car, tugging at his tie as he unbuttoned his shirt.

  The butler came forward and took the tie and briefcase from Long Ming.

  When Long Ming changed his shoes, the butler wanted to say something but stopped himself.

  Long Ming glanced at the butler. “What’s the matter?”


  The butler pointed in the direction of the living room. “Your Majesty, there’s a surprise.”


  Long Ming looked at the butler who was acting mysteriously. He furrowed his eyebrows and strode toward the living room.

  The news was playing in the living room. Long Ming glanced at it and his gaze landed on the slender figure sitting on the sofa.

  Was he seeing things wrongly?

  A woman whom he had not heard from for almost a day was actually sitting in the living room watching television?

  Hearing the sound, the woman slowly turned around.

  Their eyes met.

  Xiao Ying looked at the stunned man and a smile appeared on her lips. “Am I not welcome? If not, I can leave now.”


  Xiao Ying stood up from the sofa.

  Long Ming rushed over and stood behind the sofa, pressing the woman’s thin shoulders down. His tall body bent down and his lips pressed against her ear. “Why did you suddenly come here?”


  Xiao Ying looked up at the man. His thin lips landed by her face and she did not push him away. Instead, her hands wrapped around his neck as she ignored the butler and servant’s gaze. “Are you surprised?”


  Long Ming said nothing. He pressed the back of her head, his handsome face pressing down against hers. “Yes, it’s a surprise.”


  …


  Long Ming only recovered after a few minutes.

  The woman he had been thinking about day and night was really here.

  Xiao Ying stood up from the sofa, her slender fingers wrapped around his large palm. “Come up with me. There’s still a surprise.”


  Xiao Ying brought Long Ming upstairs.

  Pushing open the door of a guest room, Xiao Ying pointed at the bed. “The little girl really couldn’t take it anymore. I let her go to sleep first.”


  Long Ming looked at the sleeping Wan Bao and walked over, his fingers caressing her fair and delicate face.

  Long Ming stared at the pretty and soft Wan Bao for a long time before he turned back to look at Xiao Ying.

  His deep and cold eyes were already moist.

  “Since you’re here, you’re not allowed to leave again,” he said domineeringly.

  Xiao Ying smiled and nodded. “I don’t plan to leave, but you have to settle Wan Bao’s registered residence and school matters for her.”


  “Not only Wan Bao’s, but yours too.”


  …


  The next day, the moment Xiao Ying and Wan Bao woke up and opened the door, they saw Long Ming waiting at the door.

  His tall figure leaned against the wall with one hand in his pants pocket and the other playing with a key.

  Seeing that Xiao Ying and Wan Bao had woken up, Long Ming’s cold and dark face softened slightly.

  There was none of that usual sharpness and seriousness especially when he looked at Wan Bao.

  Wan Bao called Long Ming obediently, “Cool Uncle.”


  Long Ming responded and bent down, wanting to hug Wan Bao, but Wan Bao hid behind Xiao Ying.

  A pair of big black eyes stared at Long Ming warily.

  Seeing the sadness in Long Ming’s eyes, Xiao Ying said softly to him, “I told her that you’re her daddy. She still needs time, so don’t be sad.”


  Long Ming nodded. He squatted in front of Wan Bao and caressed her head. “Wan Bao, don’t stress yourself out. You can call me whatever you want. The most important thing is that Wan Bao is happy.”


  Long Ming grabbed Wan Bao’s soft hand. “Come, Uncle will take you somewhere.”


  Long Ming brought Wan Bao to a room with a pink door.

  The moment she pushed open the door, Xiao Ying was stunned.

  The room was very big and the walls were all pink. At a glance, it looked like the room of a fairytale princess. It was sweet, warm, and dreamy. The furniture was full of innocence. There were Hello Kitty decorations on the bedside table and bedside table. The floor was covered with a carpet that looked like real flowers and there were many dolls. On one side of the shelf were countless brand-new Barbie dolls.

  Xiao Ying covered her mouth. She had not expected Long Ming to give Wan Bao such a big surprise.

  He had not told her about this the last time she had stayed in the palace,

  There was a separate dressing room and study room in the room. Rows of brand new and beautiful princess gowns hung in the dressing room.

  Not only was Xiao Ying shocked, even Wan Bao widened her eyes and exclaimed nonstop.

  Long Ming led Wan Bao to the study and opened one of the doors. It was completely different inside. It was…
