Xiaoxiao shook her head, refusing to say anything.
Feng Guang didn't know what Su Fa and Xiao Xiao were talking about, but she was certain it wasn't anything good. However, now wasn't the time for her to ask. Meanwhile, the atmosphere between Su Fa and Jian An was tense. War was imminent.
Jian An said coldly, "Thank you for taking care of me during my time in the human world."
"In the mortal realm, you are the ruler and I am the subject. What nonsense are you spouting, Demon Lord?" Su Fa smiled politely, as if he had forgotten that it was he who plotted to kill Jian An back then.
He seemed to have forgotten, and Jian An pretended not to remember either. "Back then, whether it was about war or governance, your insights always surprised me."
"The Demon Lord's abilities are also beyond question."
"But I still can't compare to you."
Sufa chuckled, "Isn't the Demon Lord's method of governing the country also worthy of praise?"
Feng Guang listened to them, one after another, their words mostly just mutual flattery. Her face darkened, and she took Xiao Xiao and walked out. She didn't believe Su Fa would let her go so easily; she was sure he would catch up soon.
Xiaoxiao remained silent after leaving the restaurant. Fengguang squatted down, meeting the child's gaze. "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"
"I...I didn't do anything." Xiaoxiao's eyes were flustered, and she dared not look Fengguang in the eye.
Feng Guang didn't believe her words. She forced Xiao Xiao to straighten up. "Whether you admit I'm your mother or not, the fact that you were born of me cannot be changed. So I have the right to care about you. Now tell me, did your father say something to you?"
"I..." Xiaoxiao choked up a few times, and finally burst into tears, "Father said he didn't want me to be born at all, it was because of Mother's insistence... Mother secretly came to the human world and gave birth to Xiaoxiao..."
Upon hearing this, Feng Guang immediately thought to himself that Su Fa was really bad at speaking. Even if he didn't like Xiao Xiao, he really shouldn't have said such things in front of the child.
She held Xiaoxiao in her arms, letting her lean on her shoulder. She stroked the back of Xiaoxiao's head and comforted her, "Your father is lying to you... He never thought that way. Xiaoxiao, you don't understand how powerful your father is. If he didn't want Xiaoxiao to be born, how could Xiaoxiao be here with me now?"
Before knowing Su Fa's identity, Feng Guang might have assumed that he genuinely hadn't discovered Xiao Xiao's existence. However, after learning his identity, she changed her mind. Who was Su Fa? If he wanted to, there was nothing in the world he wouldn't know. Yet Xiao Xiao was still alive and well. She didn't believe that Su Fa hadn't known of Xiao Xiao's existence before.
Xiaoxiao looked up, sobbing, and said, "But Father... Father said that the only person he loves is you... He doesn't like me at all... If... if I weren't your daughter, then in his eyes... I would be no different from a stranger..."
Feng Guang almost swore. What exactly did Su Fa mean?! Is it wrong to say this in front of a child?! How many children develop psychological problems later in life because their parents said hurtful things to them during their childhood?
Suppressing her anger, she quickly patted Xiaoxiao's back as she sobbed, and whispered, "Don't believe what your father says. He's just saying that to tease you."
