Madam Ji was at her wit's end and forcefully shook off his hand.
"Whatever!" This person is getting more and more childish; he gets jealous of even a five-year-old.
Madam Ji ignored him and went back to her bedroom.
And then he locked the door with a click.
Since he likes to stare at Qiqi so much, then let him stare at her 24 hours a day.
Don't come back and sleep with her anymore, just stay and guard Qiqi's door!
Ji Chengfeng was unaware that his wife had already kicked him out of bed.
After Madam Ji left, he hesitated for a moment whether to chase after her.
But the thought of his little daughter being alone with that brat Huo Yusen made him extremely worried.
There's nothing we can do about it; it would be different if it were anyone else.
The little girl was just too different from Huo Yusen.
This made him feel extremely threatened!
Ji Chengfeng went directly to Huo Yusen's bedroom.
As expected, Qiqi was indeed brought here by him.
The little girl was lying on his bed at that moment.
The dark gray sheets made the little girl's pale face look even more bloodless.
Huo Yusen was not surprised at all when he saw him come in.
She calmly greeted him, "Uncle Ji."
"Hmm." Ji Chengfeng closed the door and came in, pulling up a chair and sitting down by the bed. "It's getting late, you should rest for a while. I'll watch over things here. You're our guest, after all. It's not right for a guest to take care of a sick host."
He deliberately emphasized the word "guest" in an attempt to make Huo Yusen realize his true identity.
As intelligent as Huo Yusen was, he naturally understood the implied meaning in his words.
The five-year-old boy pretended not to understand and reached out to tuck the blanket around Qiqi.
"Qiqi specifically told me to wake her up in an hour before she fell asleep. I promised, and I can't go back on my word." The childish voice held absolute conviction.
You could even call it stubbornness.
Anyway, he's just a five-year-old child, and keeping his word is a good virtue that he should learn and practice at this age.
Ji Chengfeng: ...
He knew this brat was up to no good!
"It's alright, I'll wake you up in an hour." Ji Chengfeng said with a forced smile. "Kids shouldn't stay up late. Otherwise, they won't grow tall. Our Qibao is so outstanding, she definitely wouldn't like a short, stout guy!"
Huo Yusen raised an eyebrow and glanced at Ji Chengfeng, then lowered his eyelashes and remained silent.
The warm, yellow light from the bedroom fell from above, casting half of the little boy's face in shadow.
The other half is immersed in light.
Surprisingly, there was an extreme sense of confrontation between light and darkness.
For a fleeting moment, Ji Chengfeng had a sudden realization that Huo Yusen was like a wild beast that excelled between light and darkness.
A single thought can lead to good, and a single thought can lead to evil.
For no apparent reason, my heart tightened for a moment.
Just as Ji Chengfeng was about to speak, the little boy, who had been silent for about two minutes, suddenly spoke.
"My memories of my parents are vague, but I heard from my grandma that my dad is 188 cm tall and very thin. My mom is 170 cm tall and also very slender and graceful. Although they wouldn't call themselves supermodels, they are definitely unforgettable at first sight."
“My older brothers and sisters, the tallest of whom is 192 cm tall, and the shortest of whom, my eighth sister, was 163 cm tall when she passed away, but she was only eleven years old at the time.”
Ji Chengfeng rarely heard Huo Yusen mention his family.
To be more precise, ever since Huo Yusen moved into the Ji family home, he has never mentioned his family.
This is the first time I've given such a detailed introduction.
Thinking of how the Huo family members all died tragically, with the youngest child dying at the age of eleven, Ji Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
I couldn't help but reflect on whether I had been too harsh on this child.
But before he could even fully process the thought, he heard Huo Yusen slowly add another sentence.
"So, whether based on genetic theory or existing empirical evidence, there's no way I could grow into a short, stout person."
Therefore, it's impossible for Qiqi to dislike him because of his height!
Ji Chengfeng: ...
Good heavens!
I thought he was going to play the emotional card with me.
I never expected that after taking such a big detour, he would be waiting for me here!
All that self-reflection just now was for nothing.
That kid needs to be taught a lesson.
Ji Chengfeng ground his back teeth and said, "You might not grow up to be short and stout, but our Qi Bao is so outstanding that not just anyone with a bit of looks can be worthy of her."
"Uncle Ji is right, Qiqi is indeed very outstanding and deserves the best people in the world to be by her side!" Huo Yusen lowered his head, looking dejected.
Ji Chengfeng's eyebrows are the same.
Wow, you've come to terms with reality and given up so easily.
That's good, it saves him the trouble of thinking of a solution.
Unexpectedly, Huo Yusen added casually, "I will work hard to become better. To become confident enough to stand by Qiqi's side."
Ji Chengfeng: ...
Alright, that brat has finally revealed his wolfish ambitions.
He said that this kid was definitely eyeing his Qi Bao.
That's utterly delusional!
Ji Chengfeng's expression changed, and he was about to teach this arrogant brat a lesson.
Before she could even speak, the little girl who had been fast asleep on the bed suddenly opened her eyes.
She stared intently at him.
Those dark eyes made Ji Chengfeng feel guilty.
He didn't think he had done anything wrong, but he still inexplicably felt short of breath.
"Qibao, why are you looking at Daddy like that?"
Qiqi blinked but didn't say anything.
Then he slowly turned his head, and the same gaze fell on Huo Yusen.
Huo Yusen's heart skipped a beat.
For some reason, he had a feeling that the little girl probably knew about his request for the Demon Chief to help Qiqi.
Huo Yusen felt guilty again.
"Dad, can you go out for a bit? I have something I want to talk to Brother Xiao Jiu about alone."
Ji Chengfeng never failed to grant his little daughter's requests.
But he still felt somewhat uncomfortable. What were those words that his old father was not worthy to hear?
However, the girl's attitude of not speaking until he went out, along with the subtle seriousness between her brows, made Ji Chengfeng realize that what she wanted to say to Huo Yusen was definitely not simple.
So even though he felt uncomfortable, he still got up and left.
Before leaving, he squeezed Qiqi's little hand and said, "Call me if you need anything. I'll be right at the door."
Qi Qi nodded without saying anything until the bedroom door was closed, leaving only her and Huo Yusen in the not-so-small space.
Qiqi spoke slowly and deliberately, "Brother Xiao Jiu, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Huo Yusen let out a heavy sigh.
Knowing there was no way to avoid it, he simply admitted, "You knew everything!"
