176 The Little Packrat Was Aggrieved
Yun Ran did not expect such a situation to suddenly occur. Seeing that Mo Beiyuan was stunned by the little packrat’s question, she walked over and took the little packrat. “I’ll explain this to her.”
She naturally knew that Mo Beiyuan’s reputation was not good.
There were many rumors about him.
With Bun’s intelligence, he should be able to understand the meaning behind those children’s words. Little Sweetcake, on the other hand, was still a child with a simple mind. Hence, she could not understand why those children suddenly cried and called her father the Ghost King.
Yun Ran knew that the children were still young. If she let them suffer the ugly rumors outside now, it might hurt their young hearts.
Bun might be slightly better, but Sweetcake belonged to the category of children with rich emotions. After figuring it out, she would definitely cry.
However, rather than letting the little packrat find out about Mo Beiyuan’s unpleasant rumors from those outsiders, it was better for her to explain them to the little packrat personally.
Yun Ran brought the two little packrats to a pavilion.
She had Sweetcake in her arms, Bun stood in front of her.
“Does Bun know why they ran?”
Yun Ran did not explain directly. Instead, she asked the Bun in front of her first, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Bun’s small face was tense, and his small brows were knitted together. “I know. They said that Daddy is a Ghost King and can eat people, so they ran away in fear.”
When the little packrat in Yun Ran’s arms heard this, it was immediately unhappy. She pouted and her big watery eyes turned red. “No, Daddy isn’t the Ghost King. Daddy won’t eat people! They’re talking nonsense! I don’t want to be friends with them anymore. I want to go home!”
The little packrat’s emotions rose immediately. After saying that, tears fell.
The expression on her face was extremely aggrieved as she stared at her father.
Mo Beiyuan stood outside the pavilion. When he met her small face, his heart seemed to have been cut by a sharp blade. It was a bone-piercing pain.
His legs seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. He clenched his fists, but he could not take a step forward. He knew that his existence had caused the little packrat to suffer. That was why the little packrat cried so sadly.
Yun Ran looked at Sweetcake’s aggrieved expression and gently stroked her back. She coaxed her gently, “Alright, Sweetcake’s father is of course not the Ghost King. They’re all talking nonsense.”
The girl sobbed and buried her face in Yun Ran’s arms. Her crying voice was extremely heartbreaking.
“Sweetcake wants to go home. I won’t play with them anymore. They’re badmouthing Daddy… Sweetcake doesn’t like them anymore… Hmph…”
Yun Ran waited for her emotions to stabilize a little before continuing, “They’re all children. Perhaps they heard the nonsense of the adults outside and misunderstood that Sweetcake’s father is a Ghost King and can eat people. In that case, Sweetcake can tell them that Daddy isn’t a Ghost King and won’t eat people, right?”
The packrat nodded. Because she had just cried, her voice was still nasal.
“Sweetcake is going to tell them that Daddy is not the Ghost King.” The packrat seemed to have suddenly understood. She twisted off from Yun Ran’s leg and ran into the school.
Bun also followed with a sullen face.
Yun Ran raised her hand to stop Mo Beiyuan, who wanted to follow them, and shook her head gently. “Mo Beiyuan, leave it to them. You can’t protect her forever. You have to let her distinguish right from wrong.”
