1470 Growing Up
Yu Qian held the white foal and glanced at the coastline not far away. “Soon.”
This place was far from the mortal world. Even the sea was not like the mortal sea. There were white clouds like milk in the jade-like sky.
The sea surged calmly. The sunlight shone on the sea, sweeping across Little Xiaxia and Yu Qian, coating everything with a golden light.
Little Xiaxia’s long and curled eyelashes gently curved up as she smiled happily at Yu Qian. The dimples on her face were faintly visible, as if they were filled with the most beautiful sweet dew in the mountains. “Will Mummy bring me delicious food when she comes back this time?”!!
Yu Qian turned to look at Little Xiaxia. As Little Xiaxia grew up, she was more and more like Xia Wanyuan. She had almost gathered all the good points of Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan. Her beautiful big eyes were even more lively than the lake water of the crescent spring. When she spoke to people, she had small dimples on her face and was extremely cute.
Yu Qian reached out and touched Little Xiaxia’s head twice. Little Xiaxia’s hair was extremely soft, and it was as fluffy as a cloud when he touched it. Yu Qian could not help but ruffle it twice. “Doesn’t she bring you delicious food every time?”
Little Xiaxia’s eyes were filled with smiles. “Mommy is the best!!! Uncle Yu, I want to look at the sea over there.”
Yu Qian nodded. He helped Little Xia Xia sit on the horse and brought her to a place with seawater. At Little Xia Xia’s age, she was very curious about everything. She had many strange questions. Yu Qian did not mind her talking too much and patiently answered her all sorts of strange thoughts.
“Uncle Yu, have you tasted clouds?? I really want to try what that tastes like??”
Yu Qian sent a message to his subordinate. “Get someone to get the shape of the cloud from the sky.”
“Uncle Yu, if only I could have such a beautiful sea in the castle. I want to live in the castle under the sea. It would definitely be very cool.”
Yu Qian nodded and turned to send his subordinate another message. “Make Missy’s bedroom look like a castle under the sea. Surround it with seawater.”
The subordinates were already immune to this behavior. Anyway, they were already used to him spoiling her more than this.
The white waves swept towards the shore layer by layer with a golden flash of sunlight. Little Xiaxia reached out to Yu Qian. “Uncle, carry me.”
Yu Qian carried Little Xiaxia to the beach. Little Xiaxia shook off her shoes and stepped on the soft sand barefoot.
Yu Qian did not stop her. He knew that Little Xiaxia liked to play with sand and had long gotten someone to filter the sand on this beach. Now, there were no sharp fragments on the entire beach that could hurt Little Xiaxia.
Little Xiaxia ran around the beach happily. Seeing that Yu Qian was standing still, she ran to him. “Uncle Yu, are you unhappy?”
Yu Qian shook his head. “No.”
Although Little Xiaxia was young, she was mischievous and could see through people the best. She pulled Yu Qian’s sleeve. “Uncle Yu, don’t be unhappy. I’ll share the candy with you.”
With that, Little Xiaxia took out a candy from her pocket and handed it to Yu Qian.
Looking at Little Xiaxia’s innocent and ignorant expression, Yu Qian squatted down and gently stroked her hair. “What will you do if I can’t accompany you one day?”
Before Yu Qian could finish speaking, Little Xiaxia’s eyes were filled with tears. She sobbed. “I don’t want.”
“What don’t you want?” Yu Qian reached out to brush the tears off Little Xiaxia’s face.
Little Xiaxia rushed into Yu Qian’s arms. “I don’t want Uncle Yu to leave.”
Ever since Xiaxia began to have her own consciousness, she could only see two people. One was Xia Wanyuan, and the other was Yu Qian.
In the past three years, Xia Wanyuan had often gone out. Compared to her, Yu Qian had almost always accompanied Little Xiaxia.
Whether it was the first time Little Xiaxia spoke, the first time she walked alone, or the first time she used chopsticks… All the moments were witnessed by Yu Qian.
Everyone on the island knew that Little Xiaxia was undoubtedly the princess here.
Hence, when Yu Qian mentioned leaving, Little Xiaxia panicked.
Looking at the panic in Little Xiaxia’s eyes, Yu Qian’s heart ached.
Back then, he had brought this child over to kill time.
However, who knew that raising her would really raise this child into a piece of flesh in his heart?
Yu Qian smiled at Little Xiaxia. “I was just joking with you. What do you want to eat tonight?”
Little Xiaxia wiped her tears and looked at Yu Qian hesitantly. “Really?”
“Mm.”
Then I want to eat fried chicken drumsticks.” Little Xiaxia looked at Yu Qian happily with her big watery eyes. “How about fried chicken drumsticks??”
“Sure.”
“No.”
Yu Qian had just said a word when Xia Wanyuan interrupted him.
Little Xiaxia looked behind her in surprise. Xia Wanyuan was dressed in black and striding over.
“Mommy!!” Little Xiaxia ran happily towards Xia Wanyuan, her small feet kicking up sand. Xia Wanyuan did not despise her and reached out to pick Little Xiaxia up.
“Mommy, I miss you so much.” Although Yu Qian was very cold to others, he really cared about Little Xiaxia. Little Xiaxia had grown up in an environment filled with concern and love. She was bright and cheerful from the inside out. When she smiled at Xia Wanyuan, it was as if the sunlight of the entire world had poured on her.
Xia Wanyuan turned her head and kissed Little Xiaxia. “Were you obedient?”
“I’m very obedient!!!” Little Xiaxia vowed. “Mommy, I’m hungry. Let’s go eat. I want to eat carrots, vegetables, fish and prawns.”
Xia Wanyuan glanced at Little Xiaxia. “Really? You don’t want to eat fried chicken drumsticks anymore??”
Little Xiaxia smiled at Xia Wanyuan with two dimples. “Mommy, I’m not eating. I’m the most obedient.”
Xia Wanyuan gently pinched Little Xiaxia’s face. “Let’s go.”
“Mm.” Little Xiaxia held Xia Wanyuan’s hand and walked forward. She subconsciously pulled Yu Qian’s hand and stopped just as she moved.
She had heard from Xia Wanyuan that she still had a biological father. The seat beside Xia Wanyuan was to be reserved for that father she had never met.
Little Xiaxia retracted her hand in disappointment and smiled at Yu Qian as if she was comforting him. “Uncle Yu, let’s eat together.”
Yu Qian was extremely sharp. He naturally sensed Little Xia Xia’s small actions. He subconsciously glanced at Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan walked straight forward, as if she did not notice anything.
Yu Qian smiled at Little Xiaxia and followed the two of them.
Little Xiaxia looked at Xia Wanyuan, then at Yu Qian. She tightened her grip on Xia Wanyuan’s hand.
Actually, she had always wanted to ask Xia Wanyuan why Yu Qian, who treated her so well, was not her biological father.
