Chapter 45: Uncle Is Great
All the villains here aren’t acting like normal human beings, what should I do?!
The little thing grabbed onto Daddy Number Two’s long legs and stared anxiously at him tearily,
“Uncle...”
Shen Chuchen’s action of picking her up paused slightly. His pretty eyes looked down to meet her clean eyes, feeling strangely upset at that “uncle”.
Why is that dog Huo Yao Daddy and he is uncle?
The man smiled coldly and repeated, “Say that again.”
“Uncle, uncle, uncle!” The little thing held his hand and shook his arm, eventually pointing at the boy’s extremely pale face as she tried to express her thoughts with tiny sobs, “Uncle, brodda hurts.”
Ye Sang had been a crybaby ever since she was small. She would hide into an adult’s arms to seek safety even after she fell down, let alone getting whipped.
“Tsk...” The feeling of disdain in Shen Chuchen’s heart turned into jealousy when he heard her pleading.
He didn’t have any parents when he was young and he climbed up to where he was now all by himself. He was vicious and merciless and as smart as a devil, no one was as good as plotting against other people as Shen Chuchen.
When he first adopted Duan Jinyan, it was only because they had similar childhoods. Shen Chuchen instructed him and pushed the waves behind Duan Jinyan’s back as he was curious as to how high Duan Jinyan could reach.
“Idiot. You sympathize with everyone, why don’t you sympathize with me?” The man smiled beautifully and pinched her soft face. His words sounded sad but his face didn’t show any excess emotions.
The little thing hesitated for a while and pulled his hand lightly. She slowly poked her head out and her quick-wittedness made their hearts melt.
“But...” She thought quickly and looked up, “Uncle doesn’t need to be sympathized with.”
The man curved his lips upwards but subconsciously clenched the hand he put inside his pocket, “I don’t need it?”
Tsk.
He was like a mouse in a sewer. He fought for food with rogues on the street, and the most he had ever gotten in his life were eye rolls and pity.
“Why?” The smile didn’t reach the bottom of his eyes as if he had asked a rhetorical question. His face was dark, as if he would twist her neck if her answer didn’t satisfy him.
Ye Sang looked at the man with uncertain emotions in confusion.
She never really sympathized with anyone not because she wasn’t kind, but because she didn’t think they needed it.
After all...
Although all the villains and the male lead had miserable childhoods, they would eventually grow up into adults who could conquer the world.
And her?
She lowered her head unhappily at the thought of everyone calling her stupid.
Ye Sang sensed that Shen Chuchen was trying to mask the fact that he felt inferior, so she felt the need to debate with him, “Uncle is taller than me, smarter than Sangsang... looks good too... why should I feel sympathetic?”
“...”
The cold atmosphere around them eased a little. His dark expressions froze on his face as he never expected these reasonings.
Ye Sang drew a circle in the air and smiled with lights glistening in her eyes, “My Grandpas said that if I need to be sympathetic of others who are better than me, then it’s useless of me to work hard...”
She pulled the corner of his clothes and continued earnestly, “Uncle is great, much better than Sangsang.”
“...” Shen Chuchen’s tensed expression eased a little.
Chapter 46: She Has Five Daddies
“So, you still feel bad for him?” The man finally spoke after remaining silent for a while with a half-smile.
“Yes.” Ye Sang nodded without hesitation this time.
The little thing’s dark round eyes were bright. Under Shen Chuchen’s death glare, she added, “Sangsang feels bad for brodda and uncle.”
Shen Chuchen laughed. He cast a side glance and asked back in amusement, “You feel bad for me?”
He needed a little girl to feel bad for him?
Ha.
What a joke.
“Uncle and brodda...” Ye Sang’s milky voice stopped as she sniffed. She recalled her Mommy’s gentleness and blinked her teary eyes, feeling even more upset.
She tilted her head upwards and her eyes smiled like a crescent,
“Because... no matter how bad uncle and brodda are, you are still your family’s precious baby...”
Whether their nature was bad or not — even they were just not good people — eventually, they would find one person in this world that loves them.
Little Ye Sang thought that every child should grow up under their parents’ expectations.
No bad how bad they are, they are still their family’s precious child.
...
Shen Chuchen made eye contact with her clear eyes and shifted his eyes away, feeling the need to get away from his dilemma.
He suddenly thought that he shouldn’t let this girl see all the so-called darkness in this world.
The man’s hand dropped. He pulled the little thing into his arms and subtly blocked her from the bloody scene happening some distance from them.
Shen Chuchen glanced at Housekeeper Shen and suddenly spoke up,
“Wait.”
The subordinate, who was perfectly aware of his boss’s thoughts, looked at his boss helplessly and anxiously thought that he was up to something again.
But Housekeeper Shen didn’t know what the demon was thinking today. Shen Chuchen hugged the little thing in his arms and smiled, looking like he was in a good mood, “I’ll let him go today.”
Shen Chuchen was a smart man, how could he not know the danger of keeping a tiger at home?
But Shen Chuchen didn’t care, he wanted to see how the wolfling was going to climb up step by step.
Shen Chuchen smiled and pinched Ye Sang’s face as he studied her closely, “Huo Yao is such a cold man, how did he have a daughter like you?”
She even looked like a good child. She was so soft to hug, making a man like him feel soft-hearted.
The man tsked in regret.
What a shame.
She’s Huo Yao’s kid no matter how nice she was.
Shen Chuchen’s cold fingertips rubbed her face and he mumbled to himself, “If you were my daughter, I’d give you all the best things in the world.”
Even since he entered the Shen family, he had been walking on the edges of death. However, even though he was cold, he was nowhere as cold as Huo Yao.
However, when it came to being vicious and merciless, Shen Chuchen was the winner.
Ye Sang pouted slightly and her eyes curved into crescents, “Humph, Sangsang doesn’t need it.”
She had five daddies.
Speaking of which, she recalled that her Grandpas gave photos of her daddies to her and felt guilty.
She only looked at Huo Yao Daddy’s photo if she didn’t remember wrong...
Since she had her first Daddy, she totally threw the other daddies behind her.
The little thing clenched her little bag tightly, determined to take a look at all the photos of her daddies after she’s home.
Shen Chuchen wasn’t mad after listening to her words but rubbed her head and the look of yearning flashed across his eyes.
“Alright, go back to your daddy, just don’t come back and be irksome here.” He looked like he was chasing her away impatiently and pushed her forward, looking down and returned to the careless personality he had upon the time of their arrival.
Chapter 47: I’m Going to Sing In Front of Your Room
Ye Sang stumbled forward a few steps and tilted her head to the side slowly, opening her mouth slightly as she thought him feeling lonely.
“Daddy...”
She shook her head and threw these thoughts aside, stretching out her short arms for Huo Yao to hug.
The man still looked cold. When he saw Ye Sang asking for a hug, he smiled coldly, “You want me to hug you?”
Ye Sang nodded and replied earnestly, “Daddy, hug.”
Huo Yao almost laughed from anger at her heartlessness.
Hug your ass.
Who do you think I am?
The man turned around expressionlessly, “No. Follow on your own.”
The little thing stood there angrily and yelled, “...Cheap Daddy!!”
Huo Yao froze and Ye Sang’s explosion continued, “Daddy, bad!”
The man remained silent for a while and stood there gazing at her, sounding cold, “Mhm? And?”
It was obvious that it wasn’t her first day, she knew that he was a bad person.
What’s the point of saying that now?
The little thing hugged the puppy tightly and took a step back, “I’m going to sing in front of your room!”
Then she squatted down and turned her head. She tilted her face up a little and intentionally started to hum to a song in front of him, “A little cabbage turned yellow in the ground, losing her Mommy at two or three!”
“Daddy doesn’t love her, Mommy doesn’t love her, Sangsang is a little cabbage in the field...”
She was getting more enthusiastic as she continued to make up the lyrics, sounding quite rhythmic.
Huo Yao stared. There’s no need to do that.
Sing?
Hah.
He was afraid that he was going to throw this brat outside in the middle of the night.
Seeing that her daddy hesitated and stopped in his tracks, Ye Sang persisted, “If you don’t take me with you, I’ll sing outside your door every day!”
As Huo Yao heard “every day”, his face became completely dark.
He couldn’t even stand it before she even did it, what would he do if she actually did that?
The man rubbed his forehead and stared at the little ball, lost in thoughts.
Other people’s daughters were nice and caring, his daughter is here to make him suffer?
Ye Sang spun her cat eyes, burying her face in Daddy’s arms, then rubbed his face.
She rubbed her milky smell on him and sweetly complimented, “Daddy is the best!”
Huo Yao said nothing.
He wiped the saliva on his face away without expressions and strode off with her in his arms.
From an angle out of Ye Sang’s field of view, the man smiled lightly.
It was obvious that he was in a good mood.
...
Surprises were everywhere in her life with her villain daddy.
She just met the weird Shen Chuchen, then the male lead brodda in the novel.
The little thing laid on the couch like an eggplant covered in frost.
She yawned and wanted to sleep.
Grandpa Huo, who waited at home anxiously for three hours finally saw Huo Yao bringing her back safely, and he had to check Ye Sang’s arms and legs to make sure that she was fine.
Heaven knows how scared he was when Huo Yao took her outside.
With his son’s personality, it would be nice of him to ditch her in the gutter let alone take care of her.
Chapter 48: Why Isn’t Brodda Back Yet?
“Come here Sangsang, let Grandpa see.” The Old Master squatted down and waved his hand. The little thing immediately put the puppy on the ground and ran as the little tail on her clothes swayed with her movement.
She was so adorable, it melted everyone’s heart.
“Grandpa.”
The Old Master’s eyes disappeared from his smile, “Good Sangsang, did you have fun today?”
“Did Huo Yao bully you?”
Huo Yao’s expressionless face grew even colder. He looked at Ye Sang in warning and his eyes seemed to say: you are gone if you tell him.
But...
Ye Sang had already spent a few days with him and she was no longer scared.
Ye Sang pointed at her cheap daddy’s direction and accused, “Grandpa, he’s glaring at me.”
Old Master Huo’s expressions darkened and he turned around unhappily, showering Huo Yao with scolds, “How old are you, to threaten a child? Sangsang is only five, why are you doing that as her dad?”
“...”
He looked back and clenched his teeth, holding back the urge to strange this child. He silently repeated: this is his daughter...
The puppy sat on the ground while wagging its tail.
Luckily she’s his real daughter.
If not, this villain would’ve probably thrown her in the river to feed the fishes.
“...”
Huo Yao watched the grandfather and the granddaughter’s interactions and snorted coldly before heading to the study.
The little thing was sweet with her words and obedient, they couldn’t get angry at her because of how quick-witted and cute she was.
She made Old Master Huo happy with a few words and made him want to cup her in his hands.
Old Master Huo treated Mr. Huo not so coldly, but not too well either at that time, and it was the same between Huo Yao and Huo Chenyu.
Now, Ye Sang was the exception.
Look how much Old Master Huo was spoiling her! He would even pick the stars from the sky if she wanted.
Sitting on the soft carpet, the little thing rolled on the ground with the puppy and she evilly ruffled and messed up the puppy’s fur.
The puppy was mad and bit her tail tightly without letting go.
Ye Sang looked down at her bitten tail and pouted, “...”
She’s angry!!
“Awoo!” The little thing threw herself and she didn’t consider the result of her chubby body squashing the puppy at all.
Coming down like a mountain made the puppy jump; it decided to run away without hesitation.
Both the big and small one rolled down on the ground. Old Master Huo sat not far from them and watched with a smile, the atmosphere unexpectedly harmonious and cozy.
After the girl and the puppy finished playing, the little thing’s round cat eyes met with the puppy’s confused eyes.
.... Wait.
Did they forget something?
The little thing also thought that she forgot about something.
She glanced around her and discovered that nothing was missing.
Ye Sang bit her finger and blinked, eventually realizing.
“It’s brodda!”
That’s right.
There was nothing missing at home, but Huo Chenyu wasn’t there.
The little thing climbed up from the ground and jogged to Old Master Huo. Under his confused gaze, she pulled his sleeve and asked,
“Grandpa.”
“Why isn’t brodda home yet?”
“B-Brodda...?” Old Master Huo stared blankly for a second, shocked by her pronunciation.
