Finally, when it was time to pack up, Lin Weiming quickly tidied up his things, scooped up Lin Wanyue, tucked her into his arms, and walked away as fast as he could.

Leaving behind a bewildered Qi Yuanfeng.

Qi Yuan: "?"

Following the direction Lin Weiming left, I slowly lowered my head and saw the small stool where Lin Wanyue had been sitting.

His fair face was tense, and he pursed his lips, refusing to say a word.

But her aggrieved expression made Qi Sichen sigh inwardly.

"What's wrong?" Qi Sichen walked over and squatted down in front of Qi Yuan, ruffling his hair. "Don't be sad. Maybe we'll have a chance to meet again in the future."

He said this purely to appease Qi Yuan and make him happy.

"Uncle." Qi Yuan looked up at Qi Sichen with some confusion and asked, "I feel like her father doesn't like seeing me and Wanwan playing together. Does that mean he doesn't like me?"

Qi Sichen: "..."

Qi Sichen pondered for a moment and said calmly, "It's probably because you didn't give enough money."

This time, the one who remained silent was Qi Yuan.

How much money would he have to give Wanwan to stay with him forever?

Qi Yuan fell into deep thought.

How about we give them the palace?

...

Lin Weiming didn't care how many taels of silver the uncle and nephew were going to throw at his head again; he felt he still needed to give his daughter a good talking-to.

My daughter is young, kind-hearted, and so cute; it's obvious that she's lovable.

How could I have been so careless?

After returning home, Lin Weiming quickly ate a few bites of food with Lin Wanyue and Liu Junlan, then pulled them aside to a secluded spot and lectured them: "Daughter, do you remember what I told you before?"

"Huh?" Lin Wanyue looked up at him. "You said so much before, I can't remember it all."

"It's just... I'm telling you, whatever you do, don't go looking for any men! Let me tell you, men are all troublemakers. Meeting a man will never bring you anything good. You might even lose your current skills and never see Grandpa and the others again!"

Lin Weiming was trying to scare them, so he deliberately exaggerated.

Lin Wanyue blinked her beautiful big eyes, which were like a beautiful mercury mirror, reflecting Lin Weiming's image.

"Father, what are you saying?" Lin Wanyue was also confused, not knowing why Lin Weiming was suddenly saying this to her.

Although he disregarded the fact that he was also a man, his courage in belittling men to such an extent was commendable.

even so.

She's only five years old!

She's just a baby, what kind of man is she looking for?

Lin Wanyue screamed wildly in her heart.

On the surface, in order not to scare her father, she could only put on a naive and obedient look, gazing sweetly at him.

"..." Lin Weiming looked at his daughter's adorable little face and his heart melted even more. He coaxed her, saying, "Wanwan, promise Dad you won't talk to that father and son anymore, okay? They don't seem like good people to me. They're definitely up to no good. What if they kidnap you? Where would Dad find you then? Promise Dad you won't talk to them anymore, okay?"

Lin Wanyue answered crisply, "No."

It's really rare to find someone in their county who is so rich, generous, and good-looking.

If she were to simply turn away such a generous patron, Lin Wanyue felt that her wallet would grow arms in protest!

"Why?" Lin Weiming was starting to lose his composure, but he managed to muster the last bit of his rationality and put on an exceptionally kind smile as he asked with concern.

He doesn't understand!

My daughter only met these two men yesterday, and today was only the second time she met them. How come she's already so deeply in love with them, so unwilling to let go and so unwilling to refuse them?

Just as he guessed, those two must have had ill intentions and secretly bewitched their daughter.

His daughter is so cute, those two must have their eyes on her!

"Hehe~" Lin Wanyue replied with a smile, "Because they are good-looking, they must not be bad people."

Lin Weiming: "..."

Upon hearing this answer, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"Daughter, how can you say that? Judging people by their appearance is wrong. Even if he is good-looking, he may not be a good person." Qi Yuan was so anxious that he didn't know what to say. He felt like a million ants were marching in his heart. He was so anxious that he was pacing around in circles, not knowing what to say to persuade his daughter.

But Lin Wanyue replied confidently, "But Father is handsome, and Father is a good person."

"Hmm... what you said is true, but not everyone in the world as good-looking as your father is a good person!" Lin Weiming accepted Lin Wanyue's praise without any shame, and still anxiously advised, "Listen to your father, I would never harm you. Those two people are not good people, so you should have less contact with them in the future."

Lin Wanyue: "..."

Lin Wanyue was shocked by Lin Weiming's shamelessness, but she remained unrepentant and refused to agree to his request.

Actually, Lin Wanyue refused not because Qi Yuan and the others were particularly good-looking, but because she felt she could make a lot more money from them!

Unfortunately, Lin Weiming didn't understand her good intentions, and he was so angry with himself that he almost died.

…

With the Lin family shop closed and Lin Wanyue taken back by Lin Weiming, Qi Yuan's mood suddenly turned listless, and he lost all interest in going out to play.

Seeing this, Qi Sichen didn't want to stop him, so he took Qi Yuan's hand and led him back.
