"What’s so urgent? It’s so late. If you want to go back, go ahead by yourself. Youyou and I will stay here for a few days. After all, we rarely get to see Xuan."

Rui Hui said, leaning closer to Qin Youxuan and hooking her arm.

"Don’t even think about it. In Germany, I couldn’t stop you, but back here, don’t think you can stay separated from me!" Diwu Zexuan’s gaze darkened, glanced at Rui Hui, and turned to pick up Youyou.

"Diwu Zexuan, your phone is ringing again!" Rui Hui exclaimed, leaping up from the sofa and rushing towards Youyou to scoop her up first.

By the time Diwu Zexuan realized it, he found out he had been tricked!

"Rui Hui!"

"Why are you yelling? If you have something to do, why don’t you deal with it yourself? Your mind is always on your laboratory. Do you even remember how old Youyou is this year? You should ask her if she wants to go back with you."

Rui Hui placed Youyou in front of her, glaring at Diwu Zexuan.

"Of course, I remember! If you hadn’t insisted on keeping her with you in Germany, I’d be cherishing Youyou dearly."

Diwu Zexuan helplessly looked at the fuming Rui Hui, stepped forward, wanting to take his little princess from her arms, but Youyou disdainfully pushed his hand away and turned to tightly cling to Rui Hui.

The small body desperately burrowed into Rui Hui’s embrace, "I don’t want the bad dad. I don’t want to go back with him!"

"..."

Diwu Zexuan’s hand froze in mid-air, looking at little Youyou, who resisted his approach, a trace of disappointment flickered in his eyes.

Rui Hui also sensed the change in his demeanor and, putting her grudges aside, lifted the little girl in her arms, "Youyou, you shouldn’t speak like that. This is your dad."

"If mom doesn’t like him, I won’t like him either." Little Youyou pouted, looking warily at Diwu Zexuan, her small body firmly clinging to Rui Hui, afraid that Diwu Zexuan might forcefully take her away.

"I like Jiang Nan and the little sister. I want to stay at auntie’s house." Little Youyou raised her small face, her innocent eyes looking at Rui Hui, expressing her wish to stay.

"Diwu Zexuan, you heard her, this is what Youyou wants. You said you want to cherish her dearly, so you figure it out!" Rui Hui stepped in front of Diwu Zexuan and placed the soft little Youyou in his arms.

Diwu Zexuan instinctively wrapped his arms around his little princess, lowering his eyes to her silver-grey eyes that were just like his, a glint of affection flickering in them.

His long fingers brushed over her small cheeks, and his thin lips moved slightly, "Would you be happy if I let you stay here?"

"Mhm!"

Youyou nodded vigorously.

Here she had friends to play with, her favorite Uncle Jie, and a kindergarten she was curious about.

"If you give Dad a kiss, I’ll let you stay." Diwu Zexuan pointed at his cheek and spoke softly.

Watching the frozen little Youyou, his gaze dimmed, "You can’t even do that?"

Youyou bit her lip, struggling for a while, considering whether his proposal was worthwhile, her beautiful eyes flashed with hesitation, but eventually, she lifted her head, puckered her lips, and kissed Diwu Zexuan on the cheek.

After the kiss, she shyly wiped the spot she kissed with her small hand, then slid down from Diwu Zexuan’s arms, turned, and ran to the sofa, burying her little head into a cushion, leaving only her little bottom in sight.

Her playful movement made everyone in the living room burst into laughter.

"I don’t feel at ease leaving Youyou alone. You stay with her, and I’ll go back and check things."
