"I knew you brought Su Lin with you! You big, untrustworthy liar!"

The thought of this inexplicably made Xia Ke'an angry, so she grabbed a handful of sand and threw it at him.

Xu Shi guiltily dodged away; he really couldn't refute this...

"Next time for sure, next time for sure."

"Who needs you to promise next time? Hurry up and come help me build my castle!"

The older woman pursed her lips, not really blaming him, "I'm a magnanimous person and won't hold it against you, at least you should have had some fun with me today."

"Okay, okay."

Xu Shi smiled and walked over to him with practiced ease, pulling him into her arms. "Here, I even prepared some soapy water for you. Do you want to blow bubbles?"

"want!"

The white-haired little girl smiled, took the tools, and played with them happily.

Look how easily Xiao Ke'an is satisfied. Where can you find such a wonderful daughter?

Even a good daughter cares about her bad dad. As she chatted, she couldn't help but ask, "Speaking of which, did that little queen you like send you a letter? Can't wait to meet her, right?"

"What do you mean by 'my favorite little empress'?"

Xu Shi was sweating profusely. "Is it itchy again?"

"Isn't that right? She's exactly the type you're hoping for."

Xia Ke'an made a face, "You don't need to hide it, I'm not jealous... Hey, don't play with my hair!"

"Let's play, let's play."

Xu Shi took a strand of her hair, made a loop, dipped it in soapy water, and started blowing bubbles. "Who cares if you're jealous or not? What kind of daughter is jealous of her father?"

"No? Isn't there an old saying that a daughter is her father's 'Q' from a past life... what was it again?"

The older woman realized she had said something inappropriate, but instead of trying to make amends, she continued talking.

"If that's what you're saying, then I'll really eat it. Just give me a straight answer, what do you want?"

"We definitely need to see him."

Xu Shi scratched her face with her hair and answered evasively, "Otherwise, what have you been busy with all this time?"

As he spoke, he blew another bubble and then gently touched it with his hand.

Bang.

The fragile bubble burst instantly, and the beautiful light it reflected vanished without a trace.
