Chapter 552: What Is a Wife?
Lian Xichen’s gaze melted.
Qin Shutong beside him laughed, "Xiao Xue really is beloved by all. Look, even Lian Xichen, this thousand-year iceberg, has melted. I’ve told you countless times, Xichen, you should find a wife soon and have a child, so you wouldn’t be so envious of others."
Lian Xichen remained silent. Xiao Xue looked adorably at Qin Shutong, "Uncle Qin, what is a wife?"
"Haha, Xiao Xue, come let Uncle Qin hold you; your Uncle Lian is too unkind." Qin Shutong completely abandoned any monarch’s majesty and couldn’t resist Xiao Xue.
Lian Xichen silently moved Xiao Xue aside, coldly saying, "You have so many wives, and birthed so many, yet you still envy."
Qin Shutong...
Hey, where is the proper conduct between sovereign and minister?!
But Xiao Xue was very fond of Lian Xichen, not even waiting for Qin Shutong to speak to her and cultivate feelings, the little girl presented today’s peach blossom cake gifted by Qin Shutong, stretching her chubby hand to give it to Lian Xichen, "Uncle, have Xiao Xue’s favorite peach blossom cake. Look, isn’t it lovely? I’m telling you, it’s also delicious, especially fragrant and sweet!"
The palace-made peach blossom cake was exquisitely crafted, about half the size of Xiao Xue’s palm, with five pink-white peach blossom petals embracing the stamens, quietly resting on Xiao Xue’s tender white hand, extremely cute.
Lian Xichen hesitated slightly, but faced with the little girl’s expectant gaze, he truly bent down, slightly opened his mouth, allowing Xiao Xue to feed him the peach blossom cake.
Such tiny cake, melting in the mouth immediately, carried a hint of peach blossom fragrance, but wasn’t overly sweet.
Lian Xichen, who always regarded sweet desserts as poison, felt for the first time that this peach blossom cake sweetened his heart.
When he was very young, he loved eating such desserts, but he had once witnessed a child beside him, who due to gluttony, stole and ate pastries from his table, then convulsed and died from poisoning in front of him. From that day on, any food he ate must be inspected by others, and his grandfather repeatedly urged him not to eat any pastries, not even allowed anyone to make pastries in their yard.
Since then, he developed a habit of never touching pastries, even later no one could threaten his life anymore. But remembering the scene of that child dying painfully, he never touched them again.
He had a kind of instinctive resistance.
Yet today, the little girl’s expectant gaze broke his years of habit, even he was slightly surprised.
Seeing Lian Xichen eat, Xiao Xue was so happy, her smile was dazzling, proudly asked, "Isn’t it delicious?"
Lian Xichen nodded, "Mm, very delicious."
The little girl excitedly leaned forward, softly kissed his cheek, making the eyes of the other two men in the room nearly pop out.
Han Jing slightly bowed his head, feeling very embarrassed by his daughter’s lack of restraint. Growing up in the Ghost Realm, Xiao Xue had only seen Ghost Ancestor, and the rest were women, oh, and also Lan Ling, who looked even more charming than women. Perhaps in Xiao Xue’s mind, this uncle was equivalent to an aunt. So, Xiao Xue, lacking fatherly love, had no resistance to handsome men, especially those like Lian Xichen who were tall and cold; she definitely wished she could lick them up, truly a little flirt.
