Chapter 323 - As If One Wasn't Enough
Chapter 323 – As If One Wasn’t Enough
"Ah Cy, I am telling you that we should just wish him a happy birthday and leave!" Liang urgently whispered into his wife's ears, cautiously looking left and right.
Ah Cy sighed. "How many times have you already told me this, Liang? And how many times have I rejected you already?"
"But you don't understand! This party is dangerous territory! That sly brat will use this chance to get a hug from our precious daughter!" He gritted his teeth.
"And what is the problem in that?"
Liang was aghast. "You have gotten way too lax about this. The only man I will let Leina hug is me! Her father! The rest of the boys are off-limits!"
"Liang. Leina is only three years old and will become four in a few months. Children hug each other all the time."
He snorted. "Their parents don't know how to raise their kids. You should always be on alert, especially when you have a super cute daughter!"
A voice came from the other side. "Well, I have to agree about that."
Liang brightened up on Xiaosi's approval. "Hah! Xiaosi agrees," he proudly said.
Xiaosi and Caihong came in, hand in hand, with little Chyou on Caihong's side. "Uncle Liang! Aunt Ah Cy!" She chirped.
Ah Cy smiled. "Aish my Chyou pumpkin looks so adorable. That ribbon on your head makes you even cuter."
Chyou felt extremely happy. "Where is Leina?"
"Ah…she was here a moment ago…"
She giggled. "I will find her, and then we will wish Siying together! I bought gift for him too!"
Caihong said, "Don't run around, okay?"
"En!"
Liang turned pale. "Where is Leina? Damn it, did that brat already lay his hands on my daughter!?"
Caihong laughed. "Liang. You seriously never change. You are so possessive of her."
"Hey! Xiaosi understands me too. Don't you two have a daughter too? Don't you care about an ugly and selfish boy targeting your Chyou?"
"You are saying as if they are some occult who can hypnotize them?"
"Yeah, tell him, Caihong," Ah Cy said, exasperated. "It's getting hard to deal with Liang and his daughter complex."
"You…" Liang's mouth twitched. "What complex? Don't label my love as complex!"
Xiaosi cleared his throat. "Do you know, Liang? If you continue to be like this, then one day, Leina might run away from home. Imagine she would be so terrified in the future if she wants to introduce her boyfriend to her. And you, who cannot bear even her talking to anybody will…"
"You all are bullying me! You just said that you agreed!"
Xiaosi scratched his chin. "Of course, I don't want anybody to steal my cute daughter, but there will come one day when she will find someone for her. No matter how hard it is, I have to let her go…"
Suddenly, the fathers felt melancholic, and the atmosphere turned dreary.
Ugh… letting our daughters go…
Caihong couldn't help but facepalm. "Xiaosi, Chyou is only six. There is a long time before that happens."
Ah Cy rolled her eyes. "You are all so emotional."
Liang refused to give up. "Wait you three. I will prove my point!"
He looked left and right and found his target.
"Weeeeeee!"
Yunru lifted Siying in the air, making him laugh. Zizi said, "He will feel dizzy!"
Yunru chuckled. "Come on. He is the birthday boy. My nephew isn't so weak. Right, Siying?"
"En! I want more! Higher!"
Zizi put her hands on her waist. "You have to cut the cake. Do you want to do that with stars running in front of your eyes? The birthday boy cannot faint."
He pouted. "I am fine!"
Just then, Liang dragged them where everyone was gathered.
"Hey, hey, where are you taking us?"
Liang said, "Now you tell them, Yunru!"
"Tell them what?" He was confused.
"If you have a daughter one day, won't you protect her at all costs? Will you let any useless pest hover around her, trying to snatch her away from you? Will you? Will you? Will you!?"
Ah Cy dryly stared at her husband.
Yunru – "…"
Why did this topic come up so suddenly?
Zizi blushed hard.
Ahhhh, he is talking about Yunru and m-my child… I-isn't it still a bit far? Though I don't mind…
She shyly smiled. "I think Yunru will be a protective father. Plus, he is a cop too. So, he would be extra strict with any boy approaching our d-daughter…"
The thought of their child turned her cheeks warm and red.
Liang smiled, feeling victorious. "See?"
"Nah, I won't be that protective," Yunru shrugged.
Liang and Zizi – "…"
Ah Cy, Xiaosi and Caihong burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Liang, you lost!"
"Yunru, you traitor!" Liang glared at him in a fury. "How could you? Don't you care about your daughter at all!?"
"More like I care about the poor boy. If I have a daughter like Princess in the future, I need to warn the boys to be alert of her, not the other way around," he nodded. "It's not the boy but my daughter who will charge towards him for sure."
Zizi coughed hard.
"Y-You!"
He smiled. "Did I say something wrong, Princess?"
She harrumphed.
Suddenly, they heard a commotion, and Liang instantly located Leina in that crowd.
When they gathered, they saw Jian and Leina furiously throwing daggers at each other.
"What happened?"
"Mama!" Leina tearfully hugged Ah Cy's leg. Liang's gaze darkened. "Who made my daughter cry?"
"It's not me for sure," Jian snorted.
Nana smacked on his head. "Tell the truth, Jian!"
Jian complained. "Hey! She came in my way, and I lost my precious meat! That's a crime! Taking my food away!"
"…"
Leina stomped her foot. "You pushed me, and I fell!"
"That's because you popped up like a ghost!"
Liang clutched his chest in pain. "Y-You…how dare you call my daughter a ghost!?"
Jian was speechless. "I didn't call her a ghost. I said she appeared out of nowhere like a ghost!"
"That's the same thing, you brat!"
"No, that's not!"
"Who the hell are you anyway?"
"Liu Jian!"
Nana quickly said, "I am really sorry on his behalf. Is she hurt anywhere?"
Liang had an ugly expression.
As if Siying wasn't enough, now this brat came in! Why can't anybody let my daughter live in peace?
