Chapter 200
"Mother, I want one too!" Little Yanqing said upon seeing this.
The two little ones stared longingly at Shen Qingnian.
Shen Qingnian nodded to Xiaoju and Liu Yurou to indicate that she was alright before saying, "You can't change boats along the way. Just sit still and wait until we reach the shore. I'll take you to other places to play, okay?"
As they spoke, the two small boats drew near, and the two little ones, seeing their mother so close, wanted to switch boats even more.
Little Shen Xi was clever. Seeing that her mother disagreed, she looked at Song Xuan, whose face was cold, and said softly, "Father, Xiao Xi wants to ride the boat with you!"
The little girl wasn't afraid of Song Xuan. She thought that no matter how scary her father was, he wouldn't be mean to a child.
Little Shenxi wasn't afraid, but Xiaoju, who was holding her, was. Xiaoju's hand trembled as she hugged the little girl, and she quickly whispered, "Little Miss, be good, don't make the young master angry."
She was terrified that His Majesty would punish her young mistress, after all, His Majesty was going to punish her young mistress anyway...
“How could I make Father angry? Would he be angry if we changed the boat? My mother said Father is a gentleman, and a true gentleman wouldn’t be so petty!” Little Shenxi didn’t understand Xiaoju’s intention and immediately retorted.
All around was silent. Shen Qingnian felt her face burning. The sorrow she had felt when facing the man was gone, replaced by a sense of shame.
That's what she told Xiaoxi, but she didn't let her say it to Xiaoxi's face.
Song Xuan glanced at Shen Qingnian, gave a cold snort that was ambiguous, and then winked at Jin Yi. In an instant, the two small boats were brought together.
Little Shen Xi smiled and reached out her hand to her father so that he could carry her to another boat.
The little girl's smile was incredibly sweet, and her appearance was so similar to Song Xuan's that Song Xuan was stunned for a moment before picking her up.
"Flying!" Little Shen Xi exclaimed excitedly as Song Xuan lifted her high.
The little girl felt a natural sense of security from her tall father.
Xiao Shenxi and Xiao Yanqing were taken to another boat by Song Xuan. Xiao Ju and Liu Yurou also wanted to go, but the boat was too small, so they had to give up.
After the two little ones switched boats, Jin Yi quickly rowed the boat away, afraid that Xiao Ju and Liu Yu Rou would pass by.
Xiaoju couldn't help but glare at Jin Yi, muttering, "A grown man, and his mind is more cunning than a sieve..."

On the other boat, Xiao Shenxi stayed by Song Xuan's side after boarding.
“Father, you are so tall! You’re even taller than the blacksmith in the city.”
"Father, did you come here today especially to accompany us to the Flower Festival?"
"Father, I heard there will be fireworks in the city today. Why don't you take us to see them?"
......
The little girl was very curious about this father who had suddenly appeared. She was not afraid of Song Xuan's coldness and kept talking.
Song Xuan would occasionally reply with a few brief words, and they got along quite well.
Xiao Yanqing went to the stern of the boat where Shen Qingnian was waiting. He glanced at his father and Xiao Shenxi before leaning close to his mother's ear and whispering:
