Luo Bing noticed people looking their way, a hint of mischievous triumph in his eyes.
"Is this parent trying to embarrass their child?"
"Seems like they're making a mountain out of a molehill?"
A low murmur of discussion arose. After all, people naturally gravitated towards spectacle, and many were watching them.
However, Lin Xiao acted as if he heard nothing. He shook his head and said to Luo Bing, "Why are you yelling so loud? Who are you trying to scare? Keep your voice down, and try again!"
"..."
Luo Bing looked at Lin Xiao in surprise. Didn't he feel embarrassed at all?
"Come on, try again, or you'll have to keep doing sit-ups," Lin Xiao added.
"Hello, uncle. Hello, auntie."
Hearing this, Luo Bing immediately spoke in a normal tone.
"Yes, very good. Just like that. Remember this feeling," Lin Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing this, Nangong Wushuang glanced at Lin Xiao. "Lin Sheng, I can see you really don't like this little boy."
"It's not a matter of liking or disliking. It's about cultivating good habits from a young age. Look at my daughter, she's so well-behaved. He should learn from Xun'er." As Lin Xiao spoke, he turned to Nangong Wushuang. "Xun'er is here. Where's your gift? Hurry up."
"..."
This man, he's actually rushing her?
Who rushes someone for a gift?
Still, she squatted down and placed the gift she had prepared into Xun'er's hands. "Xun'er, this is a gift from your sister."
Xun'er blinked and looked at Lin Xiao. "Daddy said I shouldn't accept gifts from others casually..."
"It's alright, your father has agreed."
"Yes, it's fine," Lin Xiao confirmed. "Open it and see."
As he spoke, he blocked Nangong Wushuang's exit path.
"Mm!"
Xun'er took the gift and was about to open it when she suddenly looked up at Nangong Wushuang. "Shouldn't I say thank you at this moment?"
"Yes, yes, yes, quickly thank auntie!" Lin Xiao urged.
"Thank you, auntie!"
These two calls of "auntie" made Nangong Wushuang glare fiercely at the man.
She would definitely make Lin Xiao pay later!
But children speak without malice, so she endured it.
Xun'er wanted to open the gift but didn't know where to start. She then looked at Lin Xiao for help. "Daddy..."
"Come, Daddy will teach you," Lin Xiao said, showing Xun'er how to untie the ribbon on the gift box and then open it.
Inside the gift box was a small crown.
Crystal... Diamond? No, a jeweled crown!
Although Lin Xiao wasn't an expert in such matters, he came from a wealthy background, and in recent years, he had seen plenty of valuable items.
If it were diamonds, he felt they were ordinary. After all, diamonds were merely a manufactured commodity. They weren't inherently precious; synthetic diamonds today looked better than those so-called natural diamonds.
But these gems were different.
Especially since there were several different colored gems on it: rubies, sapphires... and then diamonds as a base to set off the gems.
The color of these gems was almost perfect.
"A little princess like Xun'er deserves such a beautiful crown," Nangong Wushuang said. "Put it on, and you'll be the noblest little princess in the world."
"Daddy says people are not divided into high and low ranks."
