Chapter 714: Warmth
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Shen Xiaoxiao slept for another day. It was not because of the poison. Only with Old Man Yao’s repeated a.s.surances that she was tired and sleeping normally was she then brought out by Yan Kuan.
He looked at the woman who was sleeping soundly with some heartache.
He carefully asked Old Man Yao about everything about Shen Xiaoxiao. When he found out that the golden laurel snake was actually useful, Yan Kuan was really more and more surprised. No, it should be that he was increasingly filled with hope for the future.
Everything was developing in a good direction. It was not the same as it had always been. It was much more relaxed than watching Ouyang Jinling lie on the hospital bed many years ago.
After settling some matters, Yan Kuan walked to the courtyard and opened the door for the two children to play in the snow.
It was still the same red down jacket, and they were wrapped in a thick and solid coat. They were extremely cute.
“Daddy!”
Da Bao pounced over the moment she saw Yan Kuan. Yan Kuan carried his little daughter in his arms. He was originally strong. He carried Da Bao with one hand and walked towards Little Treasure.
This son was harder to fool than his daughter, and he was even extremely intelligent. Although he was often seen to be childish in front of Shen Xiaoxiao, it was not as if he did not have the slightest impression of the ferocity with which this kid fired his gun.
Now that he saw him walk into the courtyard, Da Bao ran into his arms, but he just stood there and practiced his shooting target. He did not even look at him.
He knew that this kid was definitely unhappy with him. He was very similar to when he was young.
“Daddy, don’t go over. Little Treasure doesn’t like others to disturb his practice. He said that he will practice well. In the future, no one will bully Mommy and me. Daddy won’t be able to do it either.”
Da Bao had her daddy to worry about. She sold Little Treasure very quickly. Of course, Little Treasure didn’t know that Da Bao had betrayed him. He knew that Yan Kuan had come over and was still playing with Da Bao. However, he didn’t want to go.
He could not defeat that man, so he could only let his mother and sister get hurt. He wanted to be strong. To become very, very strong.
His son and daughter’s att.i.tude to Yan Kuan was completely different. His daughter was pampered, while his son wanted to hit him with all his might.
He gently placed Da Bao on the ground and said to her, “Da Bao, go play first. Daddy and Little Brother will come with you later to build a snowman.”
Da Bao looked at Yan Kuan and then looked at Little Treasure who was practicing not far away. She nodded and ran to the side.
Yan Kuan liked Little Treasure very much. This son of his made him very proud. At such a young age, the things he had learned were definitely more impressive than when he was young.
He was smart and loved his family.
Occasionally, he would act coquettishly.
He satisfied all the father’s love for his son. The only thing that probably drove people crazy was his att.i.tude.
His att.i.tude towards himself.
He was dissatisfied with him.
Yan Kuan only needed a glance to see it.
But he could not say anything.
Everything was caused by him, but he would not allow this dissatisfaction to continue. After all, 19 was right. The children had grown up, but he had never been a father for a day. He was indeed not worthy of being the children’s father.
“Your lower body is not stable, and your arm is not strong enough. So even if you can hit the heart, you cannot pierce through this wooden rake.”
After Yan Kuan finished speaking, he picked up the tree branch on the ground and hit it on the wooden board.
He was even farther away than Little Treasure, but this wooden branch that did not even have an arrowhead actually directly pierced through the wooden board.
Little Treasure was dumbstruck when he saw this.
Even First Uncle and Second Uncle could not pierce through it. This father was so powerful.
However, although Little Treasure was surprised, he still pretended to be calm when he looked at Yan Kuan.
He ran to the wooden rake and exerted his strength, but the wooden board still did not move.
Not only that, the wooden board actually did not crack. He was really shocked by Yan Kuan’s move.
He turned his head to look at him. There was finally a hint of excitement and wors.h.i.+p in his eyes.
Yes, wors.h.i.+p.
Being looked at by his own son with that kind of wors.h.i.+p in his eyes, Yan Kuan’s heart was instantly filled with satisfaction. This kind of feeling was very wonderful. He had never felt it before.
“Do you want to learn, kid?”
“No.”
It was awkward for the child. The yearning in his eyes was clearly about to overflow, but he was still stubbornly unwilling to learn.
Yan Kuan did not hesitate. He bent down and grabbed another s...o...b..ll from the ground. In front of Little Treasure, he aimed at the wooden board and hit it again.
With a bang, the wooden stick that Little Treasure could not move was pierced by a s...o...b..ll and fell on the snow.
Yan Kuan looked at Little Treasure’s adorable appearance, who had already grown up, and was shocked. He walked over and touched his head.
“Shut your mouth and be careful of the wind. Do you want to learn now?”
Little Treasure obediently shut his mouth. He looked at Yan Kuan for a while before saying, “Although I want to learn, I will look for you to challenge when I’m done.”
Yan Kuan did not expect this kid to answer him like this. He immediately asked curiously, “You want to challenge me? Why?”
“Because I want to defeat you and make you afraid of me. In the future, you can’t bully Mommy and Da Bao.”
Yan Kuan really did not expect this answer. How should he put it? He felt heartache, gratification, satisfaction, and deep love.
This was his own son. Fortunately, this was his own son.
“Okay, then I’ll wait for you to defeat me.”
“You’re not allowed to bully Mommy again.”
“I won’t. I promise you. It’s a promise between us men.”
The word ‘men’ made Little Treasure’s eyes light up again. His big eyes were extremely similar to Shen Xiaoxiao’s. They were lively and bright, making it easy for people to indulge in them.
Perhaps only his father would talk to him like that and treat him as a man.
“What you said, we’re all men. We keep our words. Whoever lies is a puppy.”
“Alright, whoever lies is a puppy. Now, do you want to learn?”
“Yes.”
“Alright, then call me Daddy.”
Little Treasure looked at Yan Kuan awkwardly. He still had to call Yan Kuan Daddy when learning. However, seeing that this person was indeed his father, he reluctantly called him Daddy.
“Daddy.”
“My dear son, speak louder.”
“Daddy!”
Yan Kuan hugged Little Treasure in his arms and threw him into the sky before catching him. This made Little Treasure laugh out loud in excitement.
Da Bao was so envious that she gathered around Yan Kuan and shouted, “Daddy, I want to be thrown up too! I want to be thrown up too!”
“Alright, Da Bao I’ll throw you up too…”
The warmth of the courtyard made Shen Xiaoxiao, who had just woken up and was standing at the door frame, almost wet her eyes.
This was a family, a family!
“Mommy, come here quickly. Come here quickly and let Daddy raise you up high.”
Da Bao ran towards Shen Xiaoxiao. She rushed over like a small fireball in her red clothes.
Yan Kuan hurriedly put down Little Treasure and strode forward to grab the person who was running. He held her in his arms and slowly walked in front of Shen Xiaoxiao. He said to Da Bao,
“Da Bao has forgotten. Mommy is injured. You can’t crash into her like this.”
Little Treasure also ran over and saw Shen Xiaoxiao standing there safe and sound. He walked over and hugged her so carefully and happily.
“Mommy is fine. Da Bao, come over and let Mommy hug you. Mommy is fine.”
The family of four was filled with warmth in this winter courtyard….
