Because An'an's first birthday celebration touched her great-uncle, Yue Rongzheng started buying military-themed toys for An'an and Lele to play with.

Lele didn't show any particular talent, but An'an's talent in this area was quite astonishing.

When she was just two years old, she could put a disassembled toy gun back together in five minutes after seeing it only once.

Later, Yue Rongzheng found her a real handgun that had been scrapped and gave it to play with. In less than a day, she was able to skillfully disassemble and reassemble it.

Yue Rongzheng taught her archery, and after only one lesson, An'an hit the target ten times out of ten.

In addition, she has shown amazing endurance and ruthlessness at such a young age.

Yue Rongzheng was overjoyed, as if he had found the rarest treasure, and said that An'an was born to be a king of soldiers and the only one who could inherit his mantle.

So although An'an is only four years old, she has already been taken to the army by Yue Rongzheng to study for more than a year.

At first, Yang Qiaoqiao felt heartbroken and shed tears when she saw the little girl's training.

But the little girl comforted her, saying she wasn't tired and actually enjoyed the process of learning new skills.

Yang Qiaoqiao repeatedly told the child that he could give up if he felt tired.

It's okay to give up, Mom and Dad can afford to raise her.

Although Yang Qiaoqiao hopes her children will be successful, she also hopes they can live a peaceful and happy life.

However, An'an has never said the word "give up" so far. In fact, when the little guy comes back from training every day, his eyes are shining and he looks very energetic.

But Lele, that little guy, didn't pick anything when he was a baby and just hugged Tong Xuejiao's little beauty.

In the year that followed, so much happened that he didn't have many chances to meet Xiao Piaoliang, and everyone forgot about the incident.

But in the last two years, things have calmed down at home.

In addition, Tong Xuejiao felt sorry for Xiao Piao Liang, who was playing alone at home without any company, so she bought the house next to theirs and moved in next door.

Lele was overjoyed, and every morning as soon as she opened her eyes, she would go next door to see Xiaopiaoliang.

If he gets something delicious or fun, he immediately wants to show it off to the little beauty like a treasure.

Yang Qiaoqiao had also been troubled by this matter and even asked Huo Beixiao, "Do you think Lele, this brat, will grow up to be love-struck?"

Who did he take after?

"As I say," Huo Beixiao replied cheerfully, not ashamed at all.

Yang Qiaoqiao: ...

At this moment, Lele didn't think there was anything wrong with what her sister said.

The little one clung to Yang Qiaoqiao's lap and said with a grin, "Sister is right. Mom and sister are queens, only Little Pretty is a princess."

Lele is the princess's knight, and he will protect her for life!

Yang Qiaoqiao was even more at a loss for words when she heard her son's words.

Huo Beixiao simply picked up the brat that was hanging on his wife's—no, his partner's—lap.

She raised her hand and slapped Lele's little bottom. "All you know is how to be a knight in shining armor and protect Little Pretty. Don't your mom and sister need protection?"

Lele pouted and muttered softly, "Doesn't Mommy have Daddy now? If Daddy doesn't act as Mommy's knight anymore, Uncle Joe is still waiting in line!"

Huo Beixiao: ...

That brat!

After muttering to herself, Lele didn't let An'an off the hook. She glanced at An'an cautiously with her big, bright eyes and said, "Sister is so powerful. She can take down a dragon all by herself. She's more like a knight protecting others. Why would she need anyone else to protect her?"

Yang Qiaoqiao: ...

Huo Beixiao was even more speechless as he put his son on the ground and picked up his daughter.

An'an is independent; ever since she could walk, she has disliked being carried.

But in the last two years, she has gradually come to accept the treatment of being carried by her father whenever she goes out.

Lele, who was abandoned by her father after receiving a slap on the bottom, grumbled pitifully, "Why is it that every time Daddy carries my sister, I have to walk by myself?"

Huo Beixiao glanced down at his son and said, "Your sister studies and trains so hard every day, we can't let her waste her energy on something as simple as walking."

Lele suddenly looked enlightened and nodded solemnly.

She also said to An'an, "Sister, when I grow up, I will carry you and won't let you walk."

An'an gave her silly little brother a disdainful look, "Tch, you should go hug Little Pretty! Your sister doesn't need you."

As Yang Qiaoqiao watched the interaction between the father and his two sons, a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

Huo Beixiao held his daughter in one hand and used the other hand to take Yang Qiaoqiao's hand and put it in his pocket.

Yang Qiaoqiao held her son's hand with her other hand, looked up and met the man's gaze. A gentle light shone in both of their eyes.
