The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 42 - Successful Refinement_1

Normally, he wouldn’t speak a word to people for half the day.

“Brother Che, Baby, awake,” Situ Xin said, looking at the entering Situ Che and showing a cute smile before stretching out her arms, “Hug.”

Gently, Situ Che walked over and picked up Situ Xin.

As he lifted her up, Situ Xin suddenly had a thought and kissed Che’s cheek, knowing full well Che’s obsession with cleanliness.

Thus, she deliberately left her saliva there, mischievously thinking, “I wonder if Big Brother will later grimace in disgust and wipe it off.”

But Situ Xin could never have imagined that Situ Che wasn’t repelled at all by her act of drooling on him.

On the contrary, his face softened even more, and after a slight smile, he gently kissed Situ Xin’s face in return—a gesture he had never made before, not even to his own mother since he was two years old.

After the kiss, Situ Xin’s face looked dumbfounded, but in Situ Che’s eyes, she seemed exceptionally adorable.

As Situ Che carried Situ Xin downstairs, she surprisingly found both her dad and big uncle at home.

The moment Situ Haotian saw his precious daughter, he sprang from the couch, “Baby.” Then, without caring whether Situ Che minded or not, he snatched Situ Xin, “Baby, Daddy missed you so much.

Did you miss Daddy?”

Looking at Situ Haotian’s obviously tired face, the words “I didn’t miss you” that were about to leave her mouth were swallowed back.

“Daddy, Baby, missed you,” she said in her childish voice, filling Situ Haotian with joy.

He didn’t mind the stubble on his face and kissed Situ Xin several times.

“Did Baby miss Uncle?” Situ Haoran, witnessing the affection between the father and daughter, felt quite imbalanced, wondering why his family couldn’t have such a cute and considerate daughter.

“Baby, missed, Uncle,” Situ Xin replied, giving Situ Haoran a charming smile.

That smile, coupled with her sweet words, delighted Situ Haoran to no end; his usually expressionless face miraculously lit up with a smile.

Then, he unceremoniously snatched Situ Xin from his brother’s arms.

“Haotian, Haoran, come upstairs,” called Old Master Situ’s stern voice, interrupting the warm family moment between Situ Xin, Situ Haotian, and Situ Haoran.

The two brothers, Haotian and Haoran, immediately stopped their playful scuffle and stood up.

Just as Haoran was about to hand Situ Xin over to Loo Yaxin, Situ Xin wrapped her arms tightly around Haoran’s neck, refusing to let go.

“Be good, Baby.

Uncle has some work to do.

Once Uncle is finished, he will come back and hold you,” Loo Yaxin coaxed from the side, trying to get Situ Xin to loosen her grip.

But Situ Xin had her own plans; she was sure that the person threatening the Situ and Loo families must be someone politically connected to them.

And when political affairs were discussed, such conversations usually happened in Old Master Situ’s study.

If she wanted to gather information and find clues, all she had to do was follow along and eavesdrop.

Thus, Situ Xin was set on her decision to go along, and no matter how much Loo Yaxin or Old Madam Situ persuaded her, she wouldn’t let go, ultimately opting to lean entirely onto Situ Haoran’s shoulder.

Finally, it was Old Master Situ who spoke, “Alright, if Baby wants Haoran to hold her, then let Haoran hold her and come up together.”

Since Old Master Situ had spoken, everyone else had no further objections.

When Situ Xin heard Old Master Situ’s words, she snickered quietly while leaning on Situ Haoran’s shoulder.

The moment Situ Haoran carrying Situ Xin entered the study, she was swiftly taken by Old Master Situ, “Baby, let grandpa hold you.” Entering Old Master Situ’s study, Situ Xin didn’t mind who held her, so she sat obediently in her grandfather’s arms.

And when Situ Xin was taken from Situ Haoran’s arms, he felt an emptiness in his embrace and an instant pang of loss in his heart.

“The military exercise is in a week.

How are the two of you brothers prepared?” asked Old Master Situ, returning to seriousness as he put away his fatherly expression.

“Report, we are fully prepared,” replied the brothers Situ Haotian and Situ Haoran, presenting themselves as if they were in the military, in front of a superior.

“Hmm, there can be no mistakes in this military exercise.

You both know how many eyes have been watching the Situ Family and the Loo Family over the past few years,” said Situ Xin, prickling in attention as Old Master Situ broached the subject.

Upon hearing this, the expressions on Haotian and Haoran darkened, clearly recalling certain individuals or incidents.

Situ Xin, observing their reaction, felt extremely anxious inside.

She wanted to ask who was targeting the Situ and Loo families, but she only worried silently and never voiced her questions, knowing that under current circumstances, even if she did ask, Old Master Situ might not provide an answer.
