Luo Qinghan instinctively turned her head away as she spoke, seemingly reluctant to look at Lin Xiao.
"Of course!" Lin Xiao chuckled, "It would be even better if you kissed me a few more times."
"Let's go eat!"
Luo Qinghan said, pulling Lin Xiao towards the exit.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Lin Xiao was clearly still savoring the feeling of her lips on his cheek. It felt incredibly good!
Millions of times more satisfying than when he destroyed the Earth Fiends!
In that moment, it felt as if the distance between him and Luo Qinghan had instantly shrunk to zero.
This meant that soon, he would be able to hold Luo Qinghan while sleeping at night?
"What are you thinking about?!"
Luo Qinghan looked back at Lin Xiao, who seemed to be lost in thought, and quickly said.
"About you."
"…!"
Luo Qinghan turned her head away, not looking at Lin Xiao, but her grip on his hand tightened slightly, becoming more resolute.
This further strengthened Lin Xiao's resolve.
From now on, he would protect her and their daughter at all costs, never allowing them to suffer any injustice!
...
"Wuwuwuwu!"
In the evening, Xun'er was crying incessantly in the car, tears streaming down her face.
Lin Xiao patiently asked, "Xun'er, be good, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"
"I want to fly a plane!"
As soon as Lin Xiao asked, Xun'er immediately blurted out.
"Huh?"
Fly a plane?
Lin Xiao was taken aback, "What do you mean fly a plane?"
"Zhuang Yuanyuan said her dad can fly a plane. I told her that Daddy is the most amazing person in the world and that you can fly a plane too!" Xun'er stopped crying and sniffled as she spoke.
"Mmm… I can indeed fly a plane. Not only can I fly one, but I've also shot one down." Lin Xiao nodded. It wasn't a lie, was it?
"They didn't believe me!" Xun'er pouted, "I got angry then and told them that not only can Daddy fly a plane, but I can too!"
"Ah?"
Lin Xiao was clearly surprised by Xun'er's sudden statement.
"Daddy…"
Seeing Lin Xiao's reaction, Xun'er lowered her head and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Daddy. I lied to them…"
"It's alright, it's alright. Children's words are innocent." Lin Xiao quickly patted her head, "Lying is indeed not good, but your dad can indeed fly a plane. Tomorrow, how about Daddy flies a plane to take you to kindergarten?"
"Really?!"
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Xun'er's eyes lit up. She immediately hugged Lin Xiao and showered his face with kisses, "Daddy is the best! Mwah!"
"Alright, alright, let's go home to eat. Xun'er must be tired after a day at kindergarten, right?"
Lin Xiao comforted her well before getting into the driver's seat to drive home.
At the dinner table, Lin Xiao and Xun'er ate while exchanging glances.
It was evident that this father and daughter had something to hide. Xun'er seemed to have something to say the entire time but was repeatedly stopped by Lin Xiao's glares.
It looked as if they were keeping something from Luo Qinghan.
Luo Qinghan suddenly put down her chopsticks and stared at Xun'er, "Xun'er, is there something you want to say?"
"I…"
As soon as Xun'er opened her mouth, she was stopped by Lin Xiao's gaze.
"No…"
Xun'er quickly shook her head, not daring to speak.
Luo Qinghan glared at Lin Xiao, "What are you doing?"
Then she looked back at her daughter, "Xun'er, tell Mommy, what are you hiding? It's not good to lie, you know."
Luo Buyu and his wife, who were present, also looked at Xun'er curiously, "What's wrong, my little darling?"
Li Xin said, placing a large chicken drumstick in Xun'er's bowl, "Here, Xun'er, eat the drumstick. But you must tell the truth!"
"Grandma…"
Xun'er looked at the large drumstick in her bowl and said with a hint of grievance, "Grandma, I'll tell the tr… Can you take the drumstick away, Grandma…"
Some time ago, Li Xin often made boiled butter chicken, which was greasy and bland. This caused Xun'er to develop a phobia of eating chicken drumsticks. Now, even if Lin Xiao made a delicious and aromatic drumstick, Xun'er had no interest in it, and the sight of a drumstick made her uncomfortable all over.
This precisely targeted Xun'er's weakness.
"Mom, you too. Don't scare the child." Luo Qinghan complained to her mother, quickly moving the drumstick from Xun'er's bowl to Lin Xiao's bowl, "Are you going to tell, or is Xun'er going to tell?"
"I'll do it."
Lin Xiao chuckled awkwardly, "It's like this…"
After Lin Xiao finished speaking, Luo Qinghan immediately objected, "No! Absolutely not! How can you raise a child like this? Flying a plane to send Xun'er to school? If you agree to this now, what about next time? Will you have to do a tank or plane demonstration for her? Will you have to wear a military uniform? Will she demand the stars in the sky next? How will you provide that?"
"Don't get excited, don't get excited…" Lin Xiao quickly said, "Isn't this also a way for me to clear my name? I can indeed fly a plane, Xun'er didn't lie. Don't worry, all the procedures are in order, it's just a helicopter, it's no big deal."
"You…"
Luo Qinghan glared at Lin Xiao.
She wasn't surprised to hear that Lin Xiao could fly a helicopter, but Lin Xiao taking Xun'er to school by helicopter was a bit too ostentatious. "This kind of behavior will damage your reputation with your former superiors."
"Don't worry about that… And, look at Xun'er."
Lin Xiao said, quickly scooping Xun'er into his arms and gently stroking her head, "She's so wronged."
As he spoke, Xun'er put on a tearful expression.
"You…"
Seeing this, Luo Qinghan didn't know what else to say. She sighed and then said, "Fine, fine. Just this once, and never again!"
Ultimately, her heart softened. Xun'er had been bullied too much before, and now, she wanted her daughter to live happily. Otherwise, she felt she would be letting her daughter down.
"Yay!"
Hearing her mother agree, Xun'er immediately clapped her hands excitedly. Tomorrow, Daddy could fly a plane over!
"You!"
Luo Qinghan glared at Lin Xiao reproachfully, "You spoil her too much. If she becomes like Luo Cheng, what then?"
"I believe our Xun'er won't." Lin Xiao said, looking at Xun'er, "Right, Xun'er? You'll be a good child in the future! Like Daddy, a national hero, right?"
"Yes!"
Xun'er stood on Lin Xiao's lap, "I'll be a hero too!"
