The heart-wrenching crying in the room suddenly stopped.
Meng Jiuan was unwilling to let go of his arms that were holding his little daughter. He thought he spoke in a fierce tone, but when his words fell into the ears of the person in his arms, they were full of grievances.
"You have to bear with the crying even if it's unpleasant! It's all Second Daddy's fault. Next time, no matter where Shengyi goes, Second Daddy will follow him and never leave him alone again."
"Good intentions..."
The dry little face was a little more moist. Li Shengyi, whose cheek was rubbed, raised her hand and patted his forehead. Then she said in a hoarse voice, "I want to drink some water."
"Oh, it's Second Daddy who was inconsiderate. Shengyi's fever has just subsided, so he should drink more hot water."
Meng Jiuan gently put his little daughter down, completely forgot about crying, and hurriedly stood up to pour water.
When he returned to the bedside, he saw the sly smile between her eyebrows. He sniffed and scolded her with a smile, "You are so naughty! You only know how to fool your second father by changing the subject."
Li Shengyi stood up and took the cup of water from his hand. After the warm water went into his stomach, his dry and tight throat was finally moistened.
Without handing the cup back, she looked up at the person in front of her. When she smiled, her almond-shaped eyes curved and the dimples at the corners of her lips were particularly cute.
"Otherwise, Second Daddy will cry his eyes out. Didn't Second Daddy look in the mirror? His eyes are swollen like walnuts."
Li Shengyi was embarrassed to say that Meng Jiuan now looked like a sad frog, so he kindly changed the word "sad frog" to "walnut".

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Meng Jiuan rushed to her dressing table.
Looking at his swollen eyes in the bronze mirror, his whole face was swollen like dough due to crying for a long time, and his howling sounded again in the warm house.
Li Shengyi took in every move he made, but the smile on his face never faded.
But while she was doing this, her eyes would always glance towards the door from time to time.
Seeing that no one lifted the door curtain, she lowered her eyes and hid the worry that flashed across her eyes while looking at the cup.
"Second Daddy, where are my dad and third daddy?"
A soft yet slightly hoarse voice rang out in the room.
Meng Jiuan was still covering his face and shouting that he was ugly, but when he heard her question, he put down his hands that were covering his face, frowned, and his expression looked a little heavy.
Li Sheng's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.
Her father was frail and sickly, and the imperial physician had previously asserted that given her father's physical condition, he would definitely not live past the age of thirty.
She had finally managed to make her father's complexion look a little rosy, but she was kidnapped by bandits again. Considering her father's physical condition, she didn't dare to think too much about it.
And Shen Wangchen was seriously injured when he saved her. Although he has been practicing martial arts for many years, whether he can withstand such a serious injury is another matter.
Medical conditions in ancient times were so poor that a slight cold could be fatal.
Her father and Shen Wangchen wouldn't...
Her throat tightened, and there was a hint of pleading in her eyes as she looked at Meng Jiuan.
Praying his answer wouldn't be what she thought it would be.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell into silence.
Even if there are two pots of charcoal burning in the room, the whole room will be warm like spring.
But when looking at Meng Jiuan, Li Shengyi's heart still grew colder.
The corners of her lips moved slightly, and just when she was about to open her lips to tell the other person that she was mentally prepared.
But Meng Jiuan suddenly rushed forward, grabbed her arms with both hands, widened his crying eyes, and then gritted his teeth and raised his voice to ask her, "Oh?! You recognize Chen Wangchen as your father?!"
Um?
The sadness in Li Shengyi's eyes disappeared and turned into doubt.
She nodded blankly and said, "What's wrong?"
What's wrong? !
Meng Jiuan never expected that he would be of the same generation as this little brat.
Not only that, he actually became the second in command!
Second brother!!!
After being in the military camp for many years, Meng Jiuan had long forgotten the little knowledge he learned in the Liao family. Apart from killing the enemies, the only things left in his mind were the dirty words he learned when he was hanging out with the soldiers in the camp. He lowered his eyes and looked at his crotch.
That's not right, he seems to have always been the second one...
Meng Jiuan became even more angry: ...
He was so angry that he almost bit his back teeth off. Before he could answer, his little daughter's voice rang in his ears again.
"If Second Daddy doesn't want to, Second Daddy can become Third Daddy."
A laughing voice sounded in his ears, and Meng Jiuan suddenly raised his head and met his little daughter's eyes.
After seeing the teasing in her eyes, a look of shock immediately appeared on his face.
"Who is it? Who has led my daughter astray? I'll chop him to death with one blow!!!"
How could his daughter, who was pure and innocent like snow, understand the meaning of "two"?
Li Shengyi was completely amused by his funny appearance, and even his worries about Qin Songmo and Shen Wangchen disappeared.
Raising her hands to cup his cheeks, she smiled with her eyes curved, "It's okay, Second Daddy, you just need to know that you are all my daddies, and I love you."
After hearing his little daughter's confession with his own ears, the murderous expression on Meng Jiuan's face faded away.
Gradually, Li Shengyi felt her palms getting slightly warm. When she looked closely, she found that it was not her palms that were warm, but her cheeks.
Pinching his cheek with her small hands, she repeated her previous question, "Second Daddy, where are my dad and third daddy?"
-
Seeing Shen Wangchen's baby face again, Li Shengyi's throat rolled slightly.
She walked forward and imitated Meng Jiuan's movements, stretching out her finger and gently poking his cheek, "Third Daddy, can you hear me?"
"We all survived. Daddy and Meng Jiuan found us."
"The imperial physician said you suffered severe internal injuries. You will recover, right? We agreed to go to the south of the Yangtze River together in the spring of next year. You won't break your promise with me, right?"
Lying on the bed, Shen Wangchen's eyelashes did not tremble.
Just as Li Shengyi said, he suffered serious internal injuries, and other imperial doctors were discussing how to treat him.
But five days have passed and still no good result has been reached through discussion.
In addition to being seriously injured, Shen Wangchen almost died from excessive blood loss. If it weren't for the freezing cold weather that slowed down the blood flow, even if a Daluo Immortal came, it would be of no use.
She reached out to hold the man's big hand outside the quilt. Before Li Shengyi could tighten his fingers, she felt her small hand being held tightly, and immediately turned her head to look at the other person.
Seeing that the other person's eyes were closed and there was no sign of waking up.
After the grip he gave a moment ago was a subconscious action, she moved her fingers and gently pinched the soft flesh of his palm, "Third Daddy, Shengyi is waiting for you to wake up."
