Chapter 27: Confrontation 2

The Prince’s facial features were actually quite soft, delicate and handsome, but his eyes were too chilling, which made people perceive him as cold and hard.

“Qing’an, your vigilance isn’t very high.” A rough, strong hand pressed down on Qing’an’s thin shoulder.

“Second Brother, please don’t scare me all the time. I’m getting old and can’t handle the fright.” Qing’an replied helplessly.

“Ah, you shouldn’t talk about yourself as if you’re a sixty or seventy-year-old man.” Huo Rong withdrew his hand.

“Father, I have arrived.” Huo Rong said cheerfully as he looked at Feng Xiaohan.

“Glad to see you.” Feng Xiaohan turned slightly to acknowledge his adopted son.

“You did well this time.”

Hearing the Prince’s praise, Huo Rong’s tail was almost wagging in delight.

“Cough, cough, it was just average.” Huo Rong tried to suppress the smile creeping up his lips.

Hehe, the Prince praised him.

“Since you’re here, let’s have lunch together.” Feng Xiaohan said lightly, his mood relaxed.

His daughter was right; basking in the sun was indeed very relaxing.

“Sure! I want roasted lamb, roast chicken, stir-fried intestines, and gourd duck.” Huo Rong looked at Qing’an while calling out his desired dishes.

He wanted to feast properly.

“I’ll arrange that right away.” Qing’an stepped back to give them space to talk.

“Father, if there’s anything in advance, please notify me. I almost slipped up in court this morning.” Huo Rong complained about the drama that had unfolded in court.

When it came to the assassination, he almost revealed too much.

“If I had told you in advance, you would have acted too exaggeratedly, which would have led to even more flaws.” Feng Xiaohan shot back with a witty remark.

He knew his adopted son well; if he had known beforehand, he would have overacted and exposed his weaknesses.

“Father, you know me too well.” Huo Rong covered his face since he really would have acted overly dramatic.

Feng Xiaohan snorted softly.

While Huo Rong teased the little goldfish with a blade of grass, he chatted with Feng Xiaohan.

“It’s been a long time since Wuyou has come to visit. Father, you should teach that kid a lesson.” Huo Rong enjoyed stirring the pot.

“Wuqing, all four of them wanting to beat you up isn’t without reason.” Feng Xiaohan thought to himself that his adopted son had the ability to unite the other four troublesome kids to gang up on him, purely based on how deserving he was of a beating.

“Hmph.” Huo Rong proudly snorted.

Feng Xiaohan felt the sun’s rays moving; his daughter would be arriving soon.

“Push me over; your little sister will be here soon.”

“Wuchen too?” Huo Rong was taken aback for a moment.

Wasn’t she supposed to be in the merchant association?

“She’s your other little sister, named Wuyu.” Feng Xiaohan explained.

“Father, when did you adopt another child?”

“How old is she?”

“What does she do?” Huo Rong began firing off questions like a machine gun.

“Shut up.” Feng Xiaohan dismissed him with a look of disdain.

Huo Rong closed his mouth in grievance.

Wasn’t he just curious about what his new little sister was like? Although he had Gu Zhu as a sister, she was too fierce.

Whenever she caught him, she would want to use her martial arts to knock him into the western heavens.

At Wangchuan Courtyard, Huo Rong peeked around, wondering where his little sister was.

“Ah!” Yu Yu jumped out to surprise her Father.

Feng Xiaohan: He wasn’t scared at all.

Seeing her Father’s calm demeanor, Yu Yu sighed. Father was really brave.

She could never scare him.

Huo Rong looked at the tiny little girl; was this really his new little sister?

So cute!

Feng Xiaohan patted his daughter’s little head.

“Yu Yu, this is your Second Brother.” Feng Xiaohan introduced.

Second Brother? Yu Yu looked up at the person in the black cloak.

Huo Rong also looked down at her chubby little face and her big, watery eyes. She was really adorable!

Yu Yu: She couldn’t see her brother’s face because he was wearing a hood.

“Hello, Second Brother. I’m Yu Yu, my full name is Feng Wuyu.” Yu Yu introduced herself in a sweet voice.

“I’m Huo Rong, courtesy name Wuqing.” Huo Rong got a bit nervous as he knelt down to take off his hood.

Now Yu Yu could see her brother’s face.

Brother was also handsome, in a different way.

Huo Rong had a very aggressive appearance, with sharp facial features and a heroic aura, like a wolf king from the northwest, exuding a commanding presence.

“Once introductions are done, come over for lunch.” Feng Xiaohan called the two children over to eat.

Hearing that it was time to eat, Yu Yu quickly turned and climbed onto her stool.

Feng Xiaohan served both children a bowl of ginseng duck soup.

“The weather is getting colder; it’s good to drink some old duck soup for nourishment.”

Yu Yu slowly sipped her soup, while Huo Rong eagerly gulped down his bowl in two large swallows.

Gulp, gulp, and Huo Rong had finished one bowl and was already dishing up more.

It had been a long time since he had eaten roasted lamb!

Huo Rong quickly finished a bowl of rice, then filled his bowl again.

Yu Yu finished her soup and picked up her spoon to serve herself some rice.

“I’ll help.” Feng Xiaohan took the spoon and served her half a bowl.

“Here, little sister, eat this; it’s very delicious.” Huo Rong offered some vegetables to Yu Yu.

“Thank you, Brother!” Yu Yu took a big bite of lamb.

So delicious!

After Feng Xiaohan and Yu Yu had eaten their fill, Huo Rong polished off all the dishes before contentedly leaning back in his chair.

So full!

Feng Xiaohan looked at his adopted son, knowing well the hardships of war and fearing that Huo Rong hadn’t eaten enough, so he asked, “Do you want more to eat?”

“I’m full.” Huo Rong replied, indicating he had eaten enough.

After finishing, he began to engage Yu Yu in play.

“Yu Yu, what do you like?”

“How old are you this year?”

“Yu Yu is two years old.” Yu Yu held up two fingers.

“Only two years old? So small!” Huo Rong looked at his little sister. She was indeed just two years old.

“How old is Brother?”

“Eighteen.” Huo Rong declared proudly, as he was at the prime age of eighteen.

Both siblings had bright personalities and quickly began chatting.

Yu Yu handed a piece of candy to her brother.

Feng Xiaohan listened quietly, his expression gentle and calm.

Time passed unnoticed, and the golden sunlight slanted down, casting a golden hue over the land.

When Yu Yu saw the sun beginning to set, she suddenly realized, oh no, she had forgotten to go for a walk.

“Father, I forgot to go to work!” Yu Yu looked a bit glum.

Yu Yu had been lazy today.

“Huh? A work? What work?” Huo Rong asked in confusion, why did his little sister want to go to work?

Their Father was wealthy enough to rival a nation; all the money Gu Zhu earned had gone into the Prince’s treasury.

Why would his little sister want to go to work?

“You didn’t slack off; you were keeping your brother company.” Feng Xiaohan reassured his daughter.

His daughter was too tense.

Yu Yu nodded.

Huo Rong: Is anyone going to explain this to him?

Feng Xiaohan quietly explained Yu Yu’s situation to his adopted son.

Huo Rong’s expression shifted from confusion to shock, then to disbelief.

Could what the Prince said be true?

A system?

His little sister was sent here by a system?

Why didn’t he have a system to give him such a cute little daughter?

The Prince must have hit the jackpot.

So amazing! He found it hard to believe, unless the system also bound to him and gifted him a cute daughter, then he would believe it.

Yu Yu watched her brother and Father mumble to each other, not knowing what they were talking about.

Standing on her stool, she stretched her little head over, wanting to listen too.

Feng Xiaohan reached out to steady his daughter, afraid she might fall.

Huo Rong looked at his little sister with an incredulous expression.

So amazing!

“Yu Yu, can that system bind me to you?” Huo Rong asked expectantly.

“I don’t know.” Yu Yu replied honestly.

【System bound successfully, relationship: siblings】

【Current level: Level Two】

Huo Rong: Wow! The wish came true!

The behind-the-scenes administrator was deeply hidden and unnamed.

“What does Level Two mean?” Huo Rong excitedly researched this system.
