Helian, the old father, finally couldn't resist the pitiful, pleading eyes of that little brat, and took his cloak.
The little girl was wrapped up tightly, only her rosy little face showing.
Then, he said something to the three bewildered officials below him.
With a swift movement, he scooped Helian Xiaozongzi Sisi into his arms, rose from the gilded dragon throne, and strode away from the banquet hall.
The early autumn night was a bit chilly. The corridors were brightly lit, and the grand imperial procession marched along them.
Sisi's chubby little hands wrapped around Helian Nie's neck, her flushed little face resting on Helian Nie's shoulder.
The little girl sniffed, feeling extremely wronged, thinking she was the most unlucky child in the world, without a doubt.
My precious sixth birthday celebration almost turned into a spanking by my father! I barely escaped it, but my pretty little dress got ripped by a bamboo stick, sob!
How could you treat her, this little cutie, like that?
"Father, Sisi's birthday gift is still in the banquet hall."
Sisi sniffled again, her soft, tearful voice whimpering.
Even though her little skirt was torn, she still remembered her birthday gifts. What could she do? Those were the books of handsome men that Sisi would use to raise her handsome sons in the future.
"I will send someone back to Yongqing Palace later."
Helian Nie smirked fiercely. If he could, he really wanted to crack open this ugly thing's little head.
Look what's inside! Her little dress is ruined, yet she's still thinking about those birthday gifts. She's really carefree.
"Father, you...you wouldn't secretly take Sisi's birthday gift."
Sisi's chubby little hands were gripping and clenching in a conflicted manner. Since it concerned his own handsomeness, he had to be careful.
Helian Nie: "..."
The air was quiet for a second, with only the sound of footsteps walking in the corridor and the occasional chirping of insects from the garden.
Finally, the villainous tyrant, veins throbbing, gritted his teeth and uttered each word with venom.
"I'm not so poor as to covet your measly little thing."
"Okay, then, Sisi believes Father Emperor."
Sisi's soft, sweet voice gradually subsided, perhaps because she felt uncomfortable. Her rosy little face shifted, and she continued to lie prone.
After a while, she yawned, her head was spinning, her curled eyelashes drooped, and she rubbed her eyes with her chubby little hands.
"Father, I'm so sleepy."
"Don't sleep."
Helian Nie lightly patted the ugly thing's bottom in his arms without any politeness, and the drowsy Si Si was instantly awakened.
"Father is bullying Sisi again."
Mou Sisi felt wronged, her little mouth pouting, and she stared at Helian Nie's accusations with hazy eyes.
The warm yellow candlelight from the lantern fell on the little girl's face, making her look incredibly cute and adorable, and exceptionally well-behaved.
Helian Nie's heart softened for once; he reached out and ruffled the little girl's hair, his sinister voice lowering and softening slightly.
"Take a shower, rinse your mouth, and then go to sleep."
"Okay, then I'll lie down."
Sisi tilted her little head and thought for a moment, then agreed with her father, the big pig's trotter. Her rosy little face...
She nestled on Helian Nie's shoulder, her chubby cheeks like a little goldfish, her grape-like, watery eyes gazing at the lanterns in the corridor.
Suddenly I felt a little warm. Although my father is a big jerk, he is still very good to his little darling.
