The little guy was incredibly clever and immediately understood. He let go of Ye Ningwan's neck, turned around, and jumped into Pei Fengzhi's arms.
"Daddy!"
The little one's sweet, childlike voice rang in Pei Fengzhi's ears, instantly softening his heart.
He reached out and took Xiaoxing from Ye Ningwan's arms, patted the back of Xiaoxing's head, kissed him on the forehead, and looked at him with tenderness in his eyes.
"Come on, let's go inside."
As Pei Fengzhi spoke, he held Xiao Xingxing in one arm, letting him sit in the crook of his arm, and then took Ye Ningwan's hand, leading the two of them inside.
Wenbo watched as Pei Fengzhi's smile never faded, his eyes reddened, and tears welled up in them. He couldn't help but murmur to himself.
"It's been so many years since I've seen Ninth Master laugh like that!"

Pei Fengzhi didn't respond, seemingly impatient to continue discussing this matter with Old Master Pei, and simply said...
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. I'm sleepy."
Old Master Pei couldn't bear to let his son, who had just been released from the police station, overwork himself, so he spoke up for Pei Fengzhi.
"Wait a minute, I only have one last sentence to say, please hear me out."
Pei Fengzhi didn't hang up; he listened quietly as Old Master Pei continued.
"You should rest well today and tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, bring Wanwan and Xiaoxing to the old house. Although Xiaoxing is not on the family tree, we still need to go through the formalities. We can't let the child suffer any injustice."
