Chapter 73: Daddy, I Love You the Most
When it came time to pay, Li Chen directly pulled out a Huatai Diamond Card. The sales assistant accepted it respectfully, her hand trembling slightly.
A Diamond Card.
She had guessed the man was someone important, but she hadn’t expected him to be this important. Even possessing a Gold Card from their building meant considerable wealth—yet this man had a Diamond Card!
What the sales assistant didn’t expect even more was that the very next day, the shop owner informed her that she’d gotten a raise—and not just a small one.
Nan Xun and Li Chen left the building happily together, with Li Chen personally carrying the little dress he’d just bought for her.
They hadn’t gone very far when Little Eight’s voice rang out again in Nan Xun’s head.
“Alert, alert! The woman handing out flyers in front of that shop up ahead is also one of your daddy’s little lovers—and she’s his favorite confidante!”
Nan Xun: …
Right now, she really wanted to kill Little Eight.
And even more so, she wanted to kill her Daddy Li Chen.
Before Nan Xun could think of a way to make Li Chen detour, the two of them had already walked up to the woman handing out flyers.
The woman was very pretty, wearing a light yellow dress and black stiletto heels. Even while distributing flyers, she stood out as a bright, eye-catching presence.
“Hello, sir. Would you be willing to support a charity donation event for disabled children?” The woman handed a flyer to Li Chen.
Li Chen’s good manners led him to accept it. He glanced over the contents and raised an eyebrow slightly.
Nan Xun thought to herself, It’s over, it’s over. I’ve already imagined all kinds of melodramatic plots—like a kind-hearted, poor girl marrying into a wealthy family, and Young Master Li spending lavishly for love.
The Void Beast hurriedly said, “Don’t just imagine it—stop it already!”
So Nan Xun immediately hugged Li Chen’s leg. “Daddy, let’s hurry home. I want to go home.”
She secretly glanced at the woman and saw that when she heard Nan Xun call him “Daddy,” the smile on her face stiffened for a split second.
So this woman really had developed improper thoughts the moment she saw her Daddy Li Chen?
Still, the woman’s expression quickly returned to normal. “Sir, I hope you’ll consider supporting our event. It’s this Saturday at four in the afternoon—it won’t take up too much of your time.”
The Void Beast cursed, “Did you hear that? She’s already setting up a time! After the event it’ll be evening—what if they hit it off and suddenly have a one-night stand?”
“Are women these days really this persistent?” Nan Xun sighed.
The Void Beast replied, “Your dad is a golden bachelor. Any woman would want to throw herself at him. If they could become your stepmother, they’d be thrilled. Hurry up and do something—sighing is useless!”
That made sense. Damn it, she’d already called him “Daddy” out loud, and this woman still wouldn’t give up—she was even flirting right in front of her, as if Nan Xun were invisible!
Nan Xun immediately dragged Li Chen a step backward and stared wide-eyed at the beautiful woman. “Bad auntie, my daddy won’t go! Why are you smiling so brightly at my daddy—do you want to be my stepmom?”
As she spoke, Nan Xun threw herself against Li Chen’s leg and burst into loud sobs. “I don’t want a stepmom! I don’t want a stepmom! Daddy, don’t like these women…”
Li Chen’s gaze darkened instantly. He coldly swept his eyes over the woman, then, right in front of her, crumpled the flyer in his hand into a ball and tossed it into the trash can.
After that, he rubbed Nan Xun’s head and coaxed her gently. “Baby, don’t be angry. Daddy doesn’t like her. Daddy only likes you.”
Nan Xun rubbed her eyes. Her big eyes were wet, with a large tear clinging to the corner. “Daddy, you really won’t be stolen away by other women?”
Li Chen scooped the aggrieved little one into his arms and kissed her soft, pink cheek. “As long as my baby keeps loving Daddy like this, Daddy won’t be taken by anyone else.”
Nan Xun thought to herself, Damn it, Little Eight—he’s so devious. He’s digging a trap for me! So if I don’t love him like this anymore, he’ll go make me a bunch of younger brothers and sisters?!
The Void Beast quickly said, “Isn’t that easy? Just keep loving him like this.”
Nan Xun poked a little villain in her mind. But I already love him so, so much—why hasn’t his evil thought value dropped even a single point?
The Void Beast fell silent for a moment, then mused, “This is a low-level world with very thin spiritual energy, so we can’t stay here too long. Let’s revise the original plan of waiting until eighteen. If there’s still no change after five more years, it means the ‘redeeming the big boss through familial love’ route won’t work. Then we’ll just move on to the next world and sacrifice some integrity.”
Nan Xun: …
Little Eight’s suggestion sounded so scientific and reasonable that she was truly speechless.
Nan Xun hurriedly wrapped her arms around Li Chen’s neck, pressing her cheek affectionately against his, and said sweetly, “Daddy, Daddy, I’m your sweet baby. I love you the most. You have to love me the most too—only me.”
Li Chen chuckled softly. “Daddy promises—Daddy will only love you.”
“Really?” Nan Xun looked at him with her clear, dark eyes.
Seeing his own reflection clearly mirrored in those jet-black, shining pupils, Li Chen’s gaze softened even further. “Really.”
While the two of them were openly showing off their father-daughter affection, Little Eight suddenly cheered in Nan Xun’s mind. “Your Daddy Li Chen’s evil thought value just dropped by 2 points! Boohoo, that was so hard to achieve!”
Nan Xun silently curled her lips. She’d been stuffing Li Chen with sweetness every day, from age one to age five—and after all these years, it had only dropped by 2 points? She practically wanted to kneel to him.
The beautiful woman, having failed miserably, took a detour and left.
Li Chen’s long, sharp eyes narrowed immediately as he said coldly, “Stop right there. Who gave you permission to hand out flyers here? Get lost and stay far away from now on.”
The woman was stunned. She had never imagined that this cool, handsome man could say something so cutting. Besides, she hadn’t even said anything inappropriate—any thoughts she had were very subtle. How could this man be so lacking in manners?
Before long, the manager of the shops behind them rushed over in a panic, bowing and scraping as he apologized to Li Chen and promised that such people would never again be allowed to hand out flyers in the commercial district.
Then the beautiful woman was escorted away by two security guards sent by the manager.
Dragged off like that, she completely lost her former elegance, cursing loudly the entire way.
As Nan Xun was carried away by the cold-faced Li Chen, she felt extremely happy inside—today she’d snuffed out two of her daddy’s peach blossoms in one go.
After returning home, little Nan Xun climbed onto the dining table to wait for her meal.
Suddenly thinking of something, she said, “Daddy, I want to eat fish head.”
She figured that dealing with all of Daddy Li Chen’s rotten peach blossoms in the future would definitely take a lot of brainpower—she needed to nourish her brain.
Li Chen rubbed her little head and immediately gave the order.
