"I love Daddy the most!"
Xun'er was clinging to Lin Xiao like a koala. The little girl had already changed into her pajamas, but clearly, she was too excited to sleep.
"She's so excited thinking about going to the amusement park tomorrow that she can't sleep," Luo Qinghan said helplessly, looking at the little girl she couldn't restrain.
"She should be excited."
Lin Xiao smiled faintly. "I remember when I was a child, my father gave me my first four-wheel drive car as a reward, and I was so excited I played with it all night and couldn't sleep at all."
As he spoke, his eyes dimmed slightly.
His memories remained, but his father would never return.
Noticing Lin Xiao's expression, Luo Qinghan gently picked Xun'er up, placed her on the bedside, and then pulled Lin Xiao to sit beside her, drawing him into her embrace. "Now, you still have me, you have Xun'er, you have our family."
Lin Xiao froze for a moment, then nodded in her arms. He didn't break free from Luo Qinghan's embrace. In the past few years, only when he was with Luo Qinghan had he been able to truly rest. Even sleeping had been a luxury for him.
How could he have become the North Frontier Dragon King in just four years?
It wasn't just his talent, but more importantly, he had strived harder than anyone else.
He knew that someone was definitely behind the Lin family's downfall. The three major families in Shashi couldn't have easily destroyed the Lin family in its prime. Therefore, he needed to find a way to take revenge with his own hands.
And that way was to become someone everyone had to look up to.
He became the Dragon King, and now, he had begun his revenge.
After enjoying this moment of peace, he broke free from Luo Qinghan's embrace, then pulled both her and Xun'er into his arms. "I will protect you both. Even if I die, I will not let you be harmed."
"What are you saying?"
Luo Qinghan embraced him too, her voice very soft. "You are the father of the child, you can't die."
"Yes, I can't die."
Lin Xiao agreed with a nod.
Late at night, after Luo Qinghan and Xun'er had fallen asleep, Lin Xiao rolled over and left the room.
"Is everything arranged?"
Lin Xiao looked at Ye Chen.
"Don't worry, Brother Xiao. Nangong Huowu's people are all under our control. They will absolutely not be able to harm Sister-in-law and Xun'er one bit." Ye Chen knelt on one knee. He felt the aura from Lin Xiao now, the same aura he had felt in the North Frontier.
It was the aura of the Dragon Country's War God, imposing and cold.
In Lin Xiao's eyes, there were no enemies who would be left alive.
Not now, not in the future.
Or even in the past.

Ye Chen watched Lin Xiao beside him. Only Lin Xiao would have this kind of courage. To disregard the Nangong family so completely, and to put himself in danger as bait to wait for the Nangong family to come to him—only Lin Xiao could ensure everyone's safety.
...
"Lin Xiao has booked out the amusement park and will take his wife and child there tomorrow."
Nangong Huowu looked at the report in her hand and sighed, "What a pity. Such a good man, he has to die."
