The next morning, Xun'er woke up early again.
She had been looking forward to today, and even her morning routine was more proactive than usual.
As soon as she got up, Lin Xiao naturally did as well.
He looked at Luo Qinghan, who was holding his arm, and smiled. He carefully leaned down, inching closer to Luo Qinghan's face, and kissed her cheek.
Then, with a satisfied sigh, he got up and went to prepare breakfast for the family.
After Lin Xiao left the bedroom, Luo Qinghan finally opened her eyes. She touched the spot on her cheek where she had just been kissed and stared blankly at the doorway.
She was slowly starting to accept Lin Xiao's presence in her life every day.
That night, when Lin Xiao had to work overtime, she had felt the bed so empty and unaccustomed.
This man... whether it was towards her, Xun'er, or his family, he was always so earnest. If only their relationship hadn't started by accident...
Perhaps she would have enjoyed this relationship even more.
When Lin Xiao had finished preparing a large table full of breakfast, Xun'er had already finished washing up and was sitting obediently at the dining table.
"Xun'er, you're up so early?" Lin Xiao looked at her, poking her nose. "Look at you, you still have some foam on here that hasn't been wiped off."
As he spoke, he gently wiped Xun'er's face again.
"Look at this child, she's so excited, up so early," Luo Qinghan shook her head.
"It's understandable. I remember when I was a child, I couldn't sleep the night before a school trip. Our Xun'er is already quite capable, she slept soundly last night," Lin Xiao said with a smile.
Children are like that.
As they were eating breakfast, the loud sound of propellers echoed from outside.
"The helicopter is here."
Lin Xiao immediately explained to them.
Fortunately, the small courtyard outside the villa was large enough to land a helicopter.
Upon hearing this, Xun'er quickly wiped her mouth, then slung her little backpack over her shoulders and prepared to rush out.
"I'll go with her." Lin Xiao dared not delay, quickly chasing after her. He scooped up the little girl and placed her on his shoulders. "Come, sit on your daddy's shoulders."
"Let's fly a helicopter!"
Xun'er held onto Lin Xiao's head and shouted excitedly.
Lin Xiao chuckled, and soon they were outside.
"Brother Xiao."
Ye Chen stood by the helicopter, waiting for them.
"Have you had breakfast yet?"
Lin Xiao greeted him and asked.
"Not yet."
"I'll treat you later," Lin Xiao said, then took Xun'er and got in.
He went to the cockpit, and Xun'er sat in the back with Ye Chen.
"Uncle, are you also a hero?" Xun'er looked at Ye Chen with her twinkling eyes. "My dad says he's the most powerful person in the world. What about you, Uncle?"
"I'm not as powerful as your dad," Ye Chen said, secretly glancing at Lin Xiao. It was rare for the Dragon Marshal to praise himself so much.
Usually, the Dragon Marshal's most frequent advice to him was to always maintain a sense of awe towards enemies, as anyone could be stronger than oneself. Why had it changed when he spoke to Xun'er?
"That's right, my dad is the most powerful! Uncle, are you the second most powerful person?" Xun'er blinked her large, curious eyes.
"I... I guess I'm third?"
Ye Chen rubbed his nose, looking a little embarrassed.
Besides the Dragon Marshal, there was at least one other person stronger than him.
However, this was also because the Dragon Marshal had previously had a skirmish with them in the underworld, and many people had been eliminated by him.
