If Emperor Chongle were to appear before Chong Qianjue at this moment, he would surely ridicule him mercilessly:
"Didn't you say you would never be swayed by emotions? Then what were those willful words Your Highness just said?"
You can't live if you slap yourself in the face.
Moreover, since the Fifth Prince is so stubborn now, he might secretly cry if the younger child doesn't like him later.
Emperor Chongle is definitely the type who will fight and snatch anything important. Moreover, he has absolute confidence and advantage in front of the cub. After all, no matter how much Chong Qianjue changes his mind, he will never surpass himself in the cub's heart.
What you can't have is always the best.
Let that guy be jealous!
Meanwhile, Chong Qianjue was still questioning his life. He seriously wondered if the cub was some kind of spirit or monster that could so easily manipulate other people's emotions, causing him to be slapped in the face several times in a short period of time and lose his composure.
But when he saw the little guy's aggrieved expression, all he could feel in his eyes was heartache.
"I'm not even married yet, how would I know how to take care of a child? If your mouth hurts, why didn't you tell me?"
The cub himself felt guilty, so he could only sob and secretly observe the young father's reaction.
Although this father seemed fierce at their first meeting, the child inexplicably felt that Chong Qianjue was even easier to appease than Emperor Chongle.
Stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside, giving away freebies at lightning speed.
She said she didn't like him, but her arms around him were so strong and steady, as if she was afraid she would drop him if she wasn't careful.
The cub buried its head in Chong Qianjue's arms and whispered:
"father?"
"Is Father not here?"
"Father?"
The little guy, just like a puppy, lifted the blankets and crawled around on the bed, eventually finding him on top of him, pulling off his clothes, and digging at the pillow under him.
"Where did Father hide?"
Under the relentless onslaught of the cub, Chong Qianjue could only accept the fact that he had been given a child at the age of eighteen.
"Um."
"Father is here."
The cub was finally satisfied, and Chong Qianjue was able to hold Qianyuan in his arms again. But with nothing else to do, the cub started playing with his hair, pressing the cool, black strands against his face, and then smelling the ebony and sandalwood fragrance on his father's body.
It's a scent that makes the cubs feel safe and secure.
It was only Chong Qianjue's first day taking care of the baby, and he was already exhausted by the lively but fragile little one. Just as he was about to tell the baby to close its eyes and rest, the baby snuggled up to him and whispered in its ear:
"My little one is almost thinking he can't find his daddy anymore. I'll be so sad and upset, I'll cry until my eyes are swollen."
"But that's wonderful, the child has found his father."
"You're amazing!"
"...There's another secret, the child also likes Daddy very much."
After saying that, the cub immediately fell into Chong Qianjue's arms, just like a puppy gazing intently at its master.
It is said that parents love their children deeply, but children also love their parents unconditionally.
No matter what kind of relatives or family members they are, they are all connected together, inseparable blood and bones.
For a cub, the father who raised him is his whole world.
Perhaps the father's world is very, very big, but the world of the infant who has not yet grown up is very, very small.
So small that it could only hold his only family member.
When the cub so frankly and adorably expressed its feelings, and nestled so trustingly in Chong Qianjue's arms, Chong Qianjue was deeply moved with every breath he took.
Only now did he realize how happy and precious it was to have someone love him so wholeheartedly.
God...
Chong Qianjue didn't even dare to close his eyes, afraid that all of this was just his imagination, all of this was just his hallucination.
He felt he must be crazy to experience such overwhelming and tearful happiness.
But it was as if the child had foreseen something.
He turned over, raised his head to look at Chong Qianjue, and reached out to wipe away the tears that Chong Qianjue hadn't shed.
"Father, don't cry."
"My little one is here to love you."
Chong Qianjue was terrified, so terrified that he dared not even look at Qianyuan again, fearing that he would become addicted to such a dream.
He asked in a calm voice:
"Then who sent you? Was it a god?"
“No.” The cub blinked. “I chose you from heaven, I chose you to be my father.”
"Because you are a good human being, very handsome, with a very big house, able to make everyone happy, the most outstanding human being."
"So the baby just... no, just fell from the sky and landed next to you."
Chong Qianjue's gaze deepened.
Who would have thought he would be healed by a cub many times smaller?
The cub seemed to sense his father's emotion, and he said proudly:
"Does Father want to hear more? I can tell you the story of how your son chose you from all of humanity one hundred and eight more times."
Chong Qianjue: ...
It's hard not to suspect that the cub is talking nonsense again.
What human? Aren't the kids human too?
"Alright, you should rest well. The imperial physician said you can't talk too much, or your mouth will hurt."
Chong Qianjue pinched the cub's mouth with his fingers, making sure it was now a mute duck's beak, before releasing it.
"Close your eyes and go to sleep."
After saying that, Chong Qianjue got up to leave.
The cub, who had been lying on the bed pretending to be asleep, suddenly opened its eyes.
"Dad, don't you want the baby anymore?"
Chong Qianjue said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want you, I just need to go back and rest."
