Chapter 74: Just Become a Couple

“Yixue, stop… stop…” Ye Xiaoning grabbed Xu Yixue, who was about to rush over and pick a fight with Xu Fan.

Ben Ben’s impressive abilities exceeded her expectations. She knew that there were very strong military dogs within the army, but Ye Xiaoning had never seen a dog as formidable as this one, practically the Martial Arts Grandmaster of the canine world.

If this Ben Ben could easily snap her earring, then it could also effortlessly break her neck.

With such a strong dog protecting Little Tongtong, his safety would be greatly ensured.

“Yixue, with this dog protecting Tongtong, there won’t be any more incidents of him being bullied by others. I think Xu Fan’s dog should stay by Tongtong’s side,” Ye Xiaoning held onto Xu Yixue and gently spoke to her.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yixue remembered the times in America when Tongtong played with some Caucasian girls in the neighborhood and got teased and bullied, crying all night long. Ever since then, Xu Yixue had stopped allowing Tongtong to play with other foreign children, which indirectly led to the development of his timid and unsociable character. If not for the past few days with Xu Fan’s company, which had cheered him up considerably, he would have been clinging to Xu Yixue all day, not wanting to leave her sight for even a moment. As soon as Xu Yixue was out of reach, he would start crying.

Thinking of this, Xu Yixue also realized that if Xu Fan hadn’t been around to help take care of the child these last few days, she would not only have been overwhelmed with work at the company but would also have to deal with Tongtong at home, certainly failing to manage both.

Now that Xu Fan was taking care of Tongtong, he had not only made him more lively and cheerful, but he had also found him a highly skilled canine companion. With these thoughts, it actually seemed quite good for Tongtong to be with Xu Fan.

However, as soon as Xu Yixue recalled the times when she was alone in America, raising the child with no one to rely on, she began to resent Xu Fan again. If only Tongtong had a father like that back then, by now she would already be a carefree little princess. Xu Fan’s recent good behavior may seem promising, but who knows if he will disappear without a reason as he did five years ago in a few days’ time.

After much thought, Xu Yixue still felt that Tongtong should stay with her to be safe. To Xu Yixue, men were synonymous with unreliability.

Only by managing Xinghai Entertainment well and proving her ability to the Xu Family, could she create a better environment for Tongtong to grow up in. As for relying on Xu Fan, that is something Xu Yixue would not consider.

Convinced of this, Xu Yixue firmly said, “Although your dog can protect Tongtong, we don’t need it. My daughter is my daughter, and when the time comes, I will still take Tongtong away!”

“The dog is not mine; it’s Tongtong’s little sidekick. Whether Tongtong is with me or not, it must stay by his side to protect him,” Xu Fan said indifferently after hearing Xu Yixue’s words.

“Fine, at least you have some sense of responsibility. There are still two days left until the end of the five days we agreed on. Take good care of my daughter. I have other matters to attend to, so I must go now,” Xu Yixue stressed the time to Xu Fan again.

Hearing Xu Yixue mention the five-day agreement regarding her daughter, Xu Fan felt a wave of headache. Just when he finally had a daughter who was like a little elf, and he was anxious to have time to spoil her—if Tongtong wanted the stars in the sky, Xu Fan would find a way to pluck them for her—but now Xu Yixue was determined to take Tongtong away. Dammit, it was like talking to a brick wall.

Xu Fan was really pissed off. Me, the Five-Direction Heavenly Emperor, is being pushed around by a little woman, making my head spin. If others knew about this, they’d die laughing.

Watching the silhouettes of the two women slowly walking out of the villa’s door, Little Tongtong followed with small steps and kissed Xu Yixue several times before reluctantly watching their car drive away.

Gazing at Tongtong’s longing eyes, Xu Fan felt another headache coming on. Tongtong was his own flesh and blood, and Xu Yixue was Tongtong’s birth mother, so Xu Fan didn’t want to strain the relationship too much. He tried to take care of Tongtong within the range Xu Yixue could accept, which was the best solution. However, Xu Yixue, now taking a very businesslike approach to matters, even left the Five-Direction Heavenly Emperor Xu Fan somewhat speechless.

As much as he loved his daughter, he knew he had to get Xu Yixue on board if he wanted to keep his daughter by his side.

Xu Fan thought quietly to himself.

In the car, Xu Yixue also frequently looked back. Tongtong stood obediently by the roadside, continuously waving her little hand at Xu Yixue’s car, making Xu Yixue’s heart clench.

“My dear daughter, how can you live without your mom?” sighed Xu Yixue softly.

“Yixue, stop looking. The more you look, the more you’ll miss Tongtong,” Ye Xiaoning comforted her.

“Xiao Ning, Tongtong is getting closer and closer to Xu Fan. This isn’t good. What if in two days she absolutely refuses to leave Xu Fan, her dad? What should we do then?” Xu Yixue said, frowning slightly with a look of worry.

“No way, isn’t she always listening to her mom? Just take her away forcefully in two days, I think Tongtong will definitely follow you,” Ye Xiaoning responded while driving.

“But taking her away by force isn’t a good solution either. Look how attached she is to Xu Fan right now. Even if we do take her away by force, she will still miss Xu Fan. It’s easy to go from frugality to luxury but difficult the other way around. It was fine before when she didn’t have a dad, but now that Tongtong has experienced a father’s love, to make her a lonely child again, wouldn’t that be too cruel?” Xu Yixue leaned back in her seat, speaking in a low voice.

“Yeah, I see that Xu Fan really treats Tongtong well. The indulgence in his eyes isn’t feigned. Besides, with all his incredible abilities now, I think Tongtong’s attachment to him is only going to deepen,” mused Ye Xiaoning, recalling Xu Fan’s formidable martial prowess and miraculous medical skills with a sense of awe.

“What do you think could solve this problem?” Xu Yixue asked Ye Xiaoning.

It seems not only Xu Fan is troubled, but Xu Yixue also has her worries.

“Yixue, isn’t it simple?” joked Ye Xiaoning, teasingly saying to Xu Yixue, “If you two get married, wouldn’t all problems be solved? You’ll be in charge of being beautiful, and he’ll take care of the child and the household. Then Tongtong won’t have to be torn about who to follow anymore. It’s like killing three birds with one stone.”

“Xiao Ning!” Xu Yixue replied, her fair cheeks flushing with two red clouds, speaking with a hint of annoyance, “Stop talking nonsense, there’s no way that could happen between Xu Fan and me.”

But Ye Xiaoning shook her head, speaking seriously, “How can there be no possibility? I think it’s quite possible!”

“There’s absolutely no way!” Xu Yixue asserted emphatically.
