Chapter 144: Little Short Legs

Under the bowl piled with fragrant soft sticky white rice.

On top were several large pieces of braised pork in sauce, next to it was mushroom stewed chicken, with green vegetables and golden corn kernels.

In short, it looked extra sumptuous.

"Whimper... Uncle..."

The little loli sniffed her red little nose, tears still streaming down like a waterfall, crying with sobs, her soft voice thick with a sobbing tone:

"Uncle, why, why are you here?"

Xu Ciye looked at her pitiable tear-stained face, and his heart almost broke. Before he could say anything, he saw the little girl’s crying suddenly stopped.

In the next second, she, with reddened eyes filled with tears, lowered her big eyes, scooping a large spoonful of rice and stuffing it into her little mouth.

Her plump cheeks puffed up as she chewed with a chomp-chomp sound, then swallowed the food. Her eyes welled up with tears again, and with a wow, she tilted her head back and cried sadly once more.

"Wahhhh..."

"..."

Then, Xu Ciye just watched the little girl —

Crying for three minutes, seeming to get a bit hungry from crying, then promptly stopped her tears to take a bite of rice.

After eating and regaining her strength, she continued crying for another three minutes.

In short, the little girl’s crying was like this: "Wahhh... chomp-chomp — wahhh... chomp-chomp — wahhh..."

Xu Ciye: "..."

He finally understood what was going on with the rhythmic crying he heard outside just now!!

Lu Junhan, your daughter really is a damn outstanding time management master!

This timing, even if he tried to cue it, he couldn’t be this precise!

Seeing her like this, Xu Ciye couldn’t bear it, gently patting her head, and persuaded:

"Sweetheart, don’t stand here anymore, let’s go to the table and eat first."

Without needing to think, he knew the little girl was punished to face the wall, he paused a bit, adding weakly: "Ahem, as for your dad, uncle will talk to him later."

"No, no, it won’t work,"

The little girl said in a choked baby voice, her black eyes clear as if washed by water, but her voice fell sadly, she sniffed her red nose, whispering:

"Auntie, auntie said, when daddy was looking for Li Li before, he cried, cried so terribly, Li Li doesn’t want to make him cry again..."

Xu Ciye was silent for a while, feeling that Song Qingwan’s well-intentioned lie was too ridiculous.

He gently stroked the little girl’s head, with a heavy tone said:

"Don’t worry, your dad is very tough, he usually makes others cry, he won’t cry himself."

"But, but auntie said, daddy cried when looking for Li Li?"

The little girl’s eyes filled with tears, her baby voice was almost too cute for words.

Xu Ciye hardened his heart, still unwilling to let the little girl continue in error, directly sighed: "Auntie was mistaken!"

The little loli didn’t expect this, her eyes widened, her baby voice choked: "Impossible! Auntie wouldn’t lie to me!"

"Then go ask your dad."

Xu Ciye quickly handed this hot potato to Lu Junhan, patiently reasoning, "Only your dad knows if he would cry, isn’t that right?"

"Oh, right!"

The little girl opened her bright black eyes, suddenly realizing, stopped crying, and her baby voice immediately said happily: "Uncle, you’re so smart."

"Then as..."

Before Xu Ciye finished speaking, the little girl had already turned, hugging her large rice bowl, and "bounce-bounce-bounce" ran into the yard to find her dad.

Xu Ciye: "..."

A real heartless little scamp.

Use him and discard!

Xu Ciye felt a bit choked up.

"Daddy, daddy..."

Lu Junhan was standing by the pond, coldly instructing his subordinates on how to deal with the kidnappers, just hung up the phone.

He turned around, only to see a small pink figure, holding a big pink rice bowl, running towards him eagerly.

In no time, the little girl arrived in front of him.

Lu Junhan put away his phone, looked down at her, slightly raised his eyebrows, his thin lips lightly clicked in a "tsk" sound.

Unexpected.

Those short little legs, yet she could run quite fast.
