Feng Siyue originally wanted to refuse, but when she saw the look in her daughter’s eyes, she couldn’t bring herself to say no and obediently sat down.
Di Xuan Shang’s body stiffened for a moment, almost throwing Little Mifan off. Fortunately, he managed to hold back in time.
The once spacious stool now felt incredibly cramped!
He looked at the mother and children beside him with an inexplicable emotion, suddenly feeling a sense of a family of four.
He shook his head, casting those strange thoughts aside, and placed Little Mifan on the seat, intending to stand up and leave. However, Little Mifan grabbed his arm and asked, “Uncle, where are you going?”
Di Xuan Shang met her sparkling gaze and swallowed the words he had been about to say.
Then, under Little Mifan’s watchful eyes, he sat back down and picked her up, placing her on his lap.
Seeing this, Feng Siyue couldn’t help but feel a little melancholic. Her daughter seemed to really like this man. Was it because she lacked a father’s love?
It seemed that finding their father needed to be prioritized soon!
At that moment, Little Tangguo stared intently at Di Xuan Shang, who noticed his gaze and turned his head to look at him.
Little Tangguo climbed onto his other leg and whispered mysteriously, “Uncle, you are the behind-the-scenes boss of this auction house, right? On the way here, many people said that my mother’s invitation was very impressive, the kind that money can’t buy. Since uncle Lan could casually give us this invitation, it must be yours!”
Di Xuan Shang didn’t expect Little Tangguo to be so clever. Outsiders didn’t know his identity, but this little one had figured it out.
He felt there was no need to hide anything from the child and nodded.
Little Mifan, who was nearby, naturally heard their conversation and jumped down from Di Xuan Shang, hugging his leg and saying, “My mother said that when we meet someone powerful, we should hold onto their leg tightly. Since you are the head of the Wandao Chamber of Commerce and very powerful, I must hold onto your leg tightly!”
Feng Siyue’s lips twitched violently. Oh, my dear little Mifan, is your mother really such a shameless person in your heart?
Di Xuan Shang instinctively looked towards Feng Siyue. His eyes, hidden behind the mask, were as dark as ink. Feng Siyue felt an itch in her hands, wanting to pull off his mask, but she quickly gave up, realizing that she couldn’t defeat this man.
She blinked her eyes and put on a pitiful expression. “We are a widow and two orphaned children, wandering the world without any background or support. Out of desperation, we have to act this way. Why don’t you just let us hold onto your leg?”
Di Xuan Shang stood up abruptly, almost causing Little Tangguo to fall off.
But that was a minor issue since he caught him. What really bothered him were the audacious words this woman had just spoken.
“Ahem!” He moved aside, creating some distance from the mother and children, and looked at Feng Siyue. “You have been chosen by the head of the Tianmen Sword Sect to be the future sect leader. I owe a debt of gratitude to the Tianmen Sword Sect, so it is my duty to protect you!” He then gave Feng Siyue a deep look and added, “And don’t say such things to others casually!”
“Ah?” Feng Siyue was momentarily confused and looked a bit dazed.
Di Xuan Shang looked at her and said calmly, “Holding onto my leg…”
“Oh, okay!” Feng Siyue finally understood what he meant.
However, he had just mentioned that he would protect them, which was something Feng Siyue hadn’t expected. She couldn’t help but look at him a few more times. While she and her children didn’t need his protection, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to have someone willing to protect them.
“Wow, Uncle, you are so nice!” Little Mifan exclaimed and lunged forward again, trying to hold onto his leg. But this time, Di Xuan Shang reacted quickly, causing Little Mifan to miss her target.
Little Mifan pouted and thought to herself, if you were really my father, I would never let you hold me!
But she also knew that it was unlikely to find her real father on the first day. Her real father was probably somewhere far away.
However, it seemed that her mother was very interested in this masked uncle. She didn’t need to ask how she knew; it was obvious from the fact that when such a handsome man stood in front of her mother, she remained indifferent, but when it came to the masked man, her mother would get lost in thought!
So, it’s definitely love! Therefore, the matter of finding her real father can be put on hold for now. Besides, she really likes this masked uncle, so she doesn’t mind if he becomes their father!
Although Little Tangguo spoke little, his actions also showed that he liked Di Xuan Shang. After all, he had just climbed onto him!
Feng Siyue chuckled softly and gestured for her son to bring a chair from outside. She could tell that Di Xuan Shang had been very restrained from the beginning. He seemed to dislike physical contact, which only made her more curious to see what was behind his mask.
She wondered what expression he would have under the mask.
After a while, Little Tangguo directed some people to bring in a luxurious recliner, followed by several guards carrying fruit.
Di Xuan Shang: !!!!
Were these mother and children too familiar with him? This was his room, and if he remembered correctly, these people were supposed to be his subordinates. Yet, they had all been won over by Little Tangguo?
“Young Master, are you satisfied?” one of his guards asked Little Tangguo enthusiastically.
“Young Master?” Di Xuan Shang found this even more absurd. Were his subordinates too idle? Should he send them to the Purple Extreme Peak for some training?
The guards caught Di Xuan Shang’s murderous gaze, looked at the mother and children in the room, and then quickly ran away!
“Uncle, they seem to have mistaken me for your son. You won’t be angry, right?” Little Tangguo blinked innocently.
Although it was a bit of a stretch, he seemed to enjoy the misunderstanding. After all, being the son of this masked uncle felt pretty good!
Di Xuan Shang couldn’t bring himself to be angry with a child. He waved his hand and said, “Everyone, sit down. The auction is about to begin!”
“Yay, Uncle, I’ll sit next to you!” Little Mifan quickly ran over and sat on Di Xuan Shang’s other side.
Little Tangguo also came over and looked at Di Xuan Shang. “Uncle, I’ll sit next to you too. My mother had a severe hemorrhage when she gave birth to us and didn’t recover properly, so her health has always been poor. She needs to lie down, which is why I had them bring in the recliner.”
