Fang Zixu asked Qin Jue with anticipation.

"Uncle Xiao, may I marry Xiao Xi'er in the future?"

Qin Jue narrowed his dangerous eyes and looked at Fang Zixu.

"Kid, you're dreaming. I just don't know if you have the ability."

"Uncle Xiao, don't worry, I will definitely marry Xiao Xi'er."

Jun Qingzhi felt inexplicably displeased upon hearing Fang Zixu's words.

"Even if you're willing to marry Xi'er, she still won't marry you."

"Hmph, you don't know this, do you? Little Xi'er has already agreed to be my wife."

Jun Qingzhi was furious after hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jue immediately pulled his arm away from the river where Xiao Xi'er was playing with her toes.

Xiao Xi'er suddenly sat in Qin Jue's lap, looking quite puzzled.

"Father, what's wrong?"

"Little Xi'er, have you agreed to marry that boy?"

As he spoke, Qin Jue pointed to Fang Zixu.

What does "marrying" mean?

"I didn't agree to marry him."

Qin Jue was relieved to hear this, until the next sentence...

"I promised him I would be his wife from now on."

The atmosphere around Qin Jue and Jun Qingzhi both felt increasingly tense; they both wanted to smoke Fang Zixu.

Fang Zixu grinned happily, completely oblivious to the two murderous gazes directed at him.

Wei Yuanxuan was sweating bullets for Fang Zixu.

Qin Jue kept trying to convince herself, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, she's my daughter."

He looked at Xiao Xi'er with a serious expression and slowly began to speak.

"Little Xi'er, you need to know that you can't put all your eggs in one basket. There might be someone better than him in the future."

"Maybe you'll like someone else and not him anymore."

Xiao Xi'er didn't understand what Qin Jue was saying, but that didn't stop her from answering him.

"But I like Fang Xuxu (Fang Zixu) too!"

"call--"

Qin Jue let out a breath, "Then you won't like him forever. If he doesn't like you anymore, you'll be heartbroken."

"It's okay, I'll just gather all the people I like together from now on."

"If he doesn't like me anymore, I'll just throw him out. I have plenty of other guys I like!"

Jun Qingzhi was in an extremely pleasant mood after hearing Xiao Xi'er's scumbag remarks.

Qin Jue was taken aback for a moment, then immediately slapped his thigh and praised Xiao Xi'er, "Xiao Xi'er is right, from now on our Xiao Xi'er should do it this way!"

"So that some wolf cubs won't be watching from the start."

As Qin Jue spoke, his eyes seemed to glance at Jun Qingzhi and Fang Zixu, almost imperceptibly.

After Qin Jue finished talking to Xiao Xi'er, and after wiping the water off Xiao Xi'er's feet and warming them with his internal energy, he was about to put shoes and socks on her when Xiao Xi'er started kicking her feet.

"Daddy~, I want to play a little longer!"

"No, you've already been playing for a while."

"Daddy~"

"Little Xi'er, have you forgotten what you promised?"

"Alright then."

Xiao Xi'er lowered her head and stretched out her toes, letting Qin Jue put her shoes and socks on for her.

Fang Zixu and Jun Qingzhi saw that Xiao Xi'er had gotten up, so they put on their shoes and socks one after another.

Little Xi'er, dressed in her shoes and socks, ran back and forth on the boat.

He would run over to Qin Jue, who was sitting inside the boat drinking tea, for a sip; then he would run to the bow and stern of the boat.

When I got tired, I sat down at the bow of the boat, catching the falling petals with my hands. I also picked up petals from the boat and piled them together.

Then he grabbed it with both hands and threw it into the air.

Fang Zixu and Jun Qingzhi both picked up flower petals for Xiao Xi'er and placed them in front of her so that she could easily sprinkle them.

Wei Yuanxuan sat on the edge of the boat, coughing occasionally, his gaze fixed on the three people picking up and throwing away flower petals.

Qin Jue sat in the cabin watching Xiao Xi'er and the others playing outside, feeling an unprecedented sense of ease.

"Selling sugar cakes! Selling sugar cakes!"

"It smells so good, it's sweet and delicious! Selling sugar cakes!"

While playing with flower petals, Xiao Xi'er heard that there were sugar cakes for sale and ran straight to Qin Jue's side.

"Daddy~, I want to eat it~"

Qin Jue pinched Xiao Xi'er's nose with his fingers and said affectionately, "You're such a little foodie, you want to eat everything."

"Hehehe, okay, Daddy~"

"Come on, I'll take you to sell sugar cakes!"

Qin Jue carried Xiao Xi'er out of the cabin, and Sanhezi followed behind him to the side of the boat.

The man selling sweet cakes smiled enigmatically when he saw the boat and the people.

"Young master, would you like to buy some sweet cakes?"

Sanhezi answered the cake seller, "We want five servings of cakes."

"Um...this..."

"What's wrong?"

"There are many flavors of these sweet cakes; why don't you come and choose one from our cabin?"

"Go, go, Daddy!"

"Okay, as you wish."

Upon hearing Qin Jue's words, Sanhezi said to the boatman, "Please move the boat closer to that boat."

When the two boats docked, Qin Jue carried Xiao Xi'er onto the boat selling sweet cakes, with Zou Heng following closely behind.

Following Zou Heng, Jun Qingzhi, Fang Zixu, and Wei Yuanxuan also went up.

The cake vendor, with a fawning expression, said, "Please come in, sir."

Once inside the cabin, Xiao Xi'er saw the many sweet cakes and tried to get down from Qin Jue's arms.

Qin Jue did indeed put Xiao Xi'er on the ground. Xiao Xi'er looked at all the sweet cakes in front of her, and her mouth watered.

Wow, so many!

"There are quite a lot."

Jun Qingzhi continued Xiao Xi'er's words

"Miss, if you like it, you can try it first. If you think it's delicious, you can buy more."

Really?

"It's true, young lady."

When Xiao Xi heard that she could eat it, she looked at Qin Jue again. After seeing Qin Jue nod, she picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth.

Wow, this is delicious!

Jun Qingzhi, Fang Zixu, and Wei Yuanxuan also picked up the pastries and started eating.

Jun Qingzhi took a couple of bites, then frowned. She took a few more bites, and after eating half of the pastry, she realized something was wrong, and her expression immediately changed.

Immediately knock the pastry out of Xiaoxi's hand

"Don't eat it!"

Why?

Xiao Xi'er saw Jun Qingzhi knock away her pastries and glared angrily at Jun Qingzhi.

Jun Qingzhi turned to look at Qin Jue, and finding that Qin Jue was also looking at her, she immediately spoke.

"This pastry has been spiked."

Upon hearing Jun Qingzhi's words, Qin Jue picked up a piece of pastry, took a small bite, and also noticed (people with internal energy are particularly sensitive to certain medicines).

The cake seller, seeing that his scheme had been exposed, immediately took action.

Just as the cake vendor made his move, Zou Heng swiftly appeared in front of Qin Jue and started fighting with him.

The other vendors or makers of sweet cakes, seeing their leader fighting, also dropped what they were holding and joined in the fray.

Yu Feng, who was waiting for Jun Qingzhi on the boat, saw the fight break out and used his light-footed skills to join in.

"Heh—, since you've seen through us, we won't pretend anymore."

"If you know what's good for you, leave that girl and the two women on your boat here, and we'll let you go."

Upon hearing these words, a chill emanated from Qin Jue's body.

The air pressure around him was extremely low.
