Chapter 228
Xiao Yucheng gave Fu Chuanxing a disdainful look and stood in front of Lu Ting angrily: "You stinky ice face, didn't you hear that little bean sprout doesn't want to chat with you alone? Why don't you put him down!"
Lu Ting's expression became exceptionally cold, and his voice was so chilling that it seemed to freeze ice slag. "General Xiao, there's no need for you to meddle in Lu's family affairs! Get lost!"
Xiao Yucheng yelled, "Ice-faced Lu, you better respect me and talk properly!"
Little Taozhi was lifted up and sandwiched between two men. Her pink little mouth moved twice, but she didn't know how to persuade them.
She had a feeling that Papa Lu and Papa Xiao might start fighting again!
"Dad, please stop quarreling!"
But the baby voice was so soft and had no killing power at all. It drifted past the ears of Xiao Yucheng and Lu Ting like a warm breeze.
The two heard it, but in unison, ignored it.
The little guy's fair face immediately became more wrinkled than the paper ball in the trash can, and he was about to cry.
Her lips were pursed, and the corners of her clear, bright deer eyes were drooped. With the last glimmer of hope, she looked at Pei Yan for help, "Daddy Pei, hug me..."
Pei Yan still heard the baby voice as soft as a mosquito.
Originally, he and Fu Chuanxing had the same attitude of watching the show.
But seeing little Taozhi's little appearance, she looked like a bullied little white rabbit, so pitiful.
Pei Yan's heart trembled violently.
Finally, he sighed helplessly.
Mingming is well-known for his ruthlessness and decisiveness in the business world.
But for some reason, whenever anything happened to Xiao Taozhi, he would become particularly soft-hearted.
Forget it, what can I do with my own daughter?
Of course I pamper you.
Taking advantage of the confrontation between Lu Ting and Xiao Yucheng, Pei Yan was quick-eyed and quick-handed and snatched Xiao Taozhi away.
"It's okay, Daddy is here, don't be afraid." Pei Yan's big, bony hands gently stroked the little guy's back and comforted him softly.
Entering Pei Yan's arms, Xiao Taozhi's white and tender little paws tightly hugged the man's neck.
Only when she felt completely safe did she turn her head to look at Xiao Yucheng and Lu Ting.
Pei Yan also followed Xiao Taozhi's gaze and said, "You two, where you are standing is my castle, my territory. If you want to fight, the door is over there. Please go out on your own, okay? It's not a good influence to make a move in front of a child."
As soon as Pei Yan finished speaking, music started to sound in the banquet hall.
It seems that Ms. Pei Rao's birthday party has begun.
"Everyone, today is my mother's birthday. Xiao Taozhi and I will be giving speeches on stage soon, so we'll go get ready first. You should know the way to the banquet hall, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you."
After saying that, Pei Yan carried Xiao Taozhi and walked towards the backstage of the banquet hall.
Walking into a corridor, Pei Yan pressed a mechanism casually, and a barrier opened behind him, separating Lu Ting and others outside, preventing them from coming in.
The world is finally quiet.
Pei Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
At least no one would come to disturb them until he and Xiao Taozhi went on stage to give their speeches.
The little guy lay on Pei Yan's shoulder and mumbled, "Dad Xiao, Dad Lu, does he seem to be angry with Zhizhi?"
Pei Yan nodded: "Looking at him, he is indeed not very happy. But don't worry, he has an icy face and never looks good to others. Besides, no father would really be angry with his precious daughter."
Little Taozhi didn't understand: "Why is Papa Lu unhappy?"
Pei Yan thought for a moment: "Maybe it's because you want to bring him and Nangong Yao together."
The little fellow suddenly raised his head, his dark eyes suddenly lit up, and he said seriously: "But Papa Lu is also very good to Aunt Yaoyao, and Zhizhi is sure that Aunt Yaoyao likes Papa Lu.
Wouldn't it be great if the two of them got married? That way, Papa Lu wouldn't be all alone like he is now."
Dad Bo has Grandpa Bo, Dad Xiao has Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Gao, Dad Fu has Brother Zhiyi, and Dad Pei has Grandma Pei.
There was only Father Lu. Apart from her, there was nothing else...
"Could it be that Papa Lu actually hates Aunt Yaoyao?"
"That's not the case."
At best, Lu Ting treated Nangong Yao as a friend, and Nangong Yao had a secret crush on Lu Ting.
Pei Yan shook his head: "He doesn't hate Nangong Yao, he just doesn't like her. But it's better to say that he doesn't like or care about anyone except you."
Taozhi's delicate brows suddenly furrowed, and her baby voice became a little depressed. She murmured to herself, "What if one day Zhizhi leaves? Daddy Lu will become a human being again..."
After being here for so many days, the little guy still hasn't forgotten his original intention, which is to save his relatives.
Although the fathers were very kind to her, she also missed leaving her friends and relatives here, as well as every father.
But she is ultimately just a little alien demon, destined to be killed by humans.
When her relatives are resurrected, she will probably return to the Fanluo Rain Forest and live with them.
But she remembered what the old man with white beard told her, that as long as she found five fathers and then hugged their thighs, her relatives could be resurrected.
But she clearly completed the mission, so why is there still no news of her relatives’ resurrection?
Could it be that her relatives have actually been resurrected, but she just doesn't know it?
Or maybe, that weird grandfather with white beard was actually lying to her!
Well... the first time she saw that weird old man with white beard, she felt that he was unreliable, dressed strangely, and looked like a liar.
As he thought about it, little Taozhi became more and more angry, and even his face turned red.
She puffed up her cheeks in anger and cursed out loud without realizing it: "Humph, you big bad guy!"
Pei Yan thought Xiao Taozhi was scolding Lu Ting, and couldn't help but nod in agreement: "Yeah, yes, he is a big bad guy!"
He took the opportunity to coax him, "If he tells you again that he wants to take you back to the Federation, you must firmly refuse this villain."
"Huh?"
This time, it was Xiao Taozhi who didn't understand.
Suddenly.
A steady female voice came from another forked path, interrupting the conversation between the father and daughter.
"Boss Pei, long time no see."
Pei Yan stopped and turned around.
He knew the person who came, and they might have met before, but they were not very familiar with each other.
Pei Yan thought for a moment before remembering the visitor's identity. He immediately put on an official smile and replied, "Inspector Zhou, how are you? It's been so long since we last met. You look even more beautiful. I almost didn't recognize you."
Zhou Wen smiled calmly: "Boss Pei still loves to joke. By the way, the one in Boss Pei's arms is yours..."
