Chapter 247 Father is Unloved

I originally thought she would be incredibly happy to see the swing I made for her.

But for some reason, Xia Rong started crying incessantly the moment she saw the swing.

Seeing this, I quickly hugged young Xia Rong and comforted her.

But something unexpected happened. Cheng Heiniu, who had been lying obediently at my feet, suddenly jumped up.

I thought the little one would jump into my arms as usual, so I reached out my arms to catch Blackie.

When Xia Rong saw a black cat pounce on us, she cried even harder! She kept kicking my stomach with her two little feet.

Put me down! Put me down right now! I'm afraid of cats! I'm afraid of cats!

When I heard Xia Rong shout that I was afraid of cats, I couldn't help but frown.

Because Xia Rong's mother often held a kitten that was only a few months old in her arms when she was pregnant with her.

Why is this little girl's temperament and personality so unlike her mother's? Is it because she was scratched by a cat before?

Don't be afraid, little sister! Our Niu Niu is very well-behaved! As long as you don't provoke it, it won't hurt you! And with Daddy here, that black cat won't hurt you.

As Emperor Xia spoke, he gently patted Xia Rong's back with his hand.

Waaaaah! You weird uncle, put me down right now! I really don't like you holding me like this!

Mother! Mother! Mother! I want my mother!

My dear little sister! I'm your real daddy! So from now on, when you see me, you have to call me Daddy, okay?

Where am I? Why am I here? I clearly remember my mother taking me to sell candied hawthorns on the street during the day.

Emperor Xia lifted Xia Rong onto the swing and gently rocked it. Seeing her master rocking the swing, Hei Niu jumped onto it and sat down.

This terrified Xia Rong! Large tears streamed down her face, and she kept shooing Niu Niu away from the swing.

Niu Niu, a spoiled kitten, kept meowing at Xia Rong, who was sitting next to her.

Seeing that Xia Rong had no intention of getting off the swing, it raised its two front paws.

Just as he was about to grab Xia Rong's little face, Xia Di pulled him into his arms.

What are you doing? I've noticed you're getting more and more bossy! If you don't get what you want, you start throwing tantrums.

The man in black standing to the side couldn't help but think to himself after hearing what Xia Di said.

Hmph! The reason this little cat has such a bad temper is because you spoil it every day, Master.

Meow! Meow! Meow!

Please take the little guy back to its nest first. I won't have time to take care of it during this time, so please try to keep it away from me.

Yes, Your Majesty! I will take the little one back to the Xia residence immediately! But I have one more question to ask you!

Xia Di took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped away Xia Rong's tears.

Meanwhile, Niu Niu, who was being held firmly in the arms of the man in black, was still shouting loudly at Emperor Xia.

It's so noisy! What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and take the little guy downstairs!

You all know that when this little guy gets angry, he'll bite anyone. Are you only happy when this wildcat bites your little princess?

Upon hearing Xia Di's words, the man in black knew that his master was very unhappy, so he immediately picked up the black girl and disappeared from his sight.

My dear daughter, you haven't said a word to your father for so long. Did something upset you?

Can I tell Father? Although we are father and daughter, I always feel that you can't open up to me and talk about everything.

I wonder if it's just my imagination? I always feel that you act very reserved in front of me.

Father, you are right to feel this way! Let me tell you the truth! Whenever I stand in front of you, I always become trembling with fear, afraid that I will say something wrong and displease you.

Haha! Xia Rong, are you kidding me? I remember you, you brat, always loved to say the meanest things to me whenever you saw me.

Why are you pretending to be a big shot now? How could you possibly be afraid of your daddy?

Haha! With your unpredictable temper, who wouldn't be afraid of you? Father, I'm very curious why none of your many daughters in the Xia family are close to you.

Oh! I see! Are they all afraid of that black cat you always have to hold in your arms?

Rong'er, why are you talking nonsense again? Did you secretly drink rice wine while your father wasn't around?

No! I've been very good lately! I won't sneak any more rice wine! Because I think the saying "a good drink can resolve a thousand grudges" is a lie.

Getting drunk might make you forget your troubles! But once you sober up, the troubles will still be there, and we still need to solve the problem thoroughly.

You said it! My dear father! Do you know? If Mu Long had told me before that our relationship was over, I wouldn't be so heartbroken.

Because I didn't realize until a few months ago that I had fallen deeply in love with Mu Long! I used to be really annoyed by him telling jokes that didn't mean anything to me.

At that time, I really hoped that he could disappear from my life immediately, so that no one would bother me all day like Mu Long.

One day, fate finally heard my plea and banished that annoying guy, Mu Long, from my side. I thought I would be incredibly happy about it!

Hahaha! Father, do you see that I'm genuinely happy now? Father, do you think I can fall in love with another man like I did with Mu Long?

When Emperor Xia saw his beloved daughter in such a dejected state, he felt extremely regretful for agreeing to join that person in destroying Longsheng Street, which Mu Long had worked so hard to build.

However, she knew very well that the relationship between Mu Long and her precious daughter would eventually come to an end.

Because they are first cousins! How could they possibly get married together? I had wanted to tell Xia Rong about this a long time ago.

But whenever he saw his precious daughter and that boy Mu Long looking so happy together, he suppressed the thought in his heart.

Because she had never seen her precious daughter laugh from the bottom of her heart before, but since she got together with Mu Long, she has been laughing more and more often.

And he's not as aloof as before! He's willing to come out of his little cabin and make friends with girls his own age.
