The Villain’s Daughter is Four and a Half

“Daddy, Mommy definitely wouldn’t want you like this.” Ruyi grabbed his hand, speaking softly with a kind lie: “Mommy said that Daddy should be spirited and radiant. She likes that kind of Daddy. If Daddy is downhearted, Mommy will be disappointed when she comes back.” In fact, she was now somewhat suspicious of whether Xu Xiangying liked Jiang Baiyuan. If she had gone missing on purpose… Now, newspapers, TV, and the internet were filled with news of the sky-high reward for finding his wife, drawing significant public attention.

I want to hear a story—” Before, her mom used to tell her bedtime stories, like “One Thousand and One Nights” and “Grimm’s Fairy Tales,” which were always on the bedside table. Jiang Baiyuan responded with a soft “okay,” then picked up “Grimm’s Fairy Tales,” casually flipping through it while asking, “What story would you like to hear, Ruyi? ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ or ‘Sleeping Beauty’?” Jiang Ruyi shook her head: “No, I want to hear the story of you and mom.” Jiang Baiyuan was taken aback for a moment: “…Why do you suddenly want to hear this?” “Just because,” she sat up, playing with the nose of her pink teddy bear, her big, watery eyes blinking, looking innocent and cute: “Dad, how did you and mom fall in love?”
