Lu Yang also stared at Xiao Bao for a while before reaching out and lifting her from the bed.
Xiao Bao panicked, immediately waving her little hands and kicking her legs, wanting to hit her dad!
"Bad daddy, I hate you!"
"Don't bully mommy!"
"Bad guy!"
Xiao Bao seemed to have learned to speak, and started scolding them nonstop.
Lu Wanqing, standing by, was also stunned. Even if Xiao Bao was a genius, her linguistic talent was too extraordinary!
No one had taught Xiao Bao to speak yet. Could it be that Xiao Bao had learned on her own by listening to everyone talk?
"I wasn't bullying your mother," Lu Yang frowned, staring at his squirming daughter.
The next moment, Lu Yang turned and placed Xiao Bao on the large bed.
Xiao Bao suddenly froze. She looked at her tall father and felt a bit scared. Was Dad… was Dad really a bad guy who not only bullied Mommy but would also hit her?
But… even if she got hit, she had to protect Mommy!
Xiao Bao made up her mind and soon stubbornly stretched out her little hands again, blocking her dad!
"I was just playing a game with your mom," Lu Yang explained.
"Third brother," Lu Wanqing said anxiously, quickly interjecting.
Xiao Bao was still a child; she shouldn't be taught such things.
"Really?" Xiao Bao, being a child, seemed to believe her dad's words and asked uncertainly.
"Mm-hmm," Lu Yang replied earnestly.
Xiao Bao listened, her heart uneasy. She cautiously looked at her dad, then at her mom…
Xiao Bao knew that Dad loved Mom very much, both in her past life and this one. He even loved Mom more than he loved her. When she saw Dad "bullying" Mom earlier, she was very angry, but thinking about it calmly now, she felt that Dad… shouldn't be bullying Mom?
"What kind of game was that?" Xiao Bao wondered, and couldn't help but ask seriously.
"Xiao Bao, that's a game for adults. Children can't play it, and children shouldn't know too much," Lu Wanqing panicked and quickly explained.
"Xiao Bao, let's forget what just happened, okay? This is a secret between Daddy and Mommy. You can't tell anyone else~" Lu Wanqing said nervously.
Xiao Bao was still a baby, and they said children spoke without reservation. Now Lu Wanqing was truly worried that Xiao Bao might accidentally blurt out about this incident later, which would be utterly embarrassing.
"Why?"
"Is Daddy really not bullying you?"
Xiao Bao was confused. She looked at her dad, then at her mom, and asked, not understanding.
"Because… because it's a secret between Daddy and Mommy. We can't tell anyone else. If others find out, Daddy and Mommy will be very, very sad. Can Xiao Bao understand?" Lu Wanqing nervously cajoled.
Xiao Bao looked at her mommy. She thought hard for a moment and finally nodded: "Mm."
Lu Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly raised her hand, extending her finger, and said, "Let's pinky promise. After we pinky promise, Xiao Bao must keep her word and promise Daddy and Mommy that she will absolutely not talk about what happened tonight."
Xiao Bao hesitated and looked at her dad.
Lu Yang stared at Xiao Bao.
Xiao Bao inexplicably felt a chill down her spine. Even at her young age, she could read the meaning in her dad's eyes: she had to agree, or she'd be punished!
Xiao Bao, nervous, quickly agreed: "Okay!"
Lu Wanqing smiled and hooked Xiao Bao's little finger, shaking it happily: "Then we pinky promise, swear, no changes for a hundred years. Whoever spills the secret is a dog!"
"Okay, I will definitely help Daddy and Mommy keep the secret. If I spill it, I'm a dog!" Xiao Bao said in a clear voice.
The treasure had taken the bait, and had been easily fooled. Lu Wanqing felt happy.
However, after the happiness, Lu Wanqing was still shocked by the fact that Xiao Bao could speak. How old was this child?
Lu Yang also stared at Xiao Bao and asked sternly, "When did you learn to talk?"
Talking definitely wasn't something one could learn in a day or two. Normal infants needed to learn bit by bit, accumulating vocabulary over time before they could communicate fluently.
But now, Xiao Bao, speaking for the first time, could communicate with them normally. This was too abnormal.
Xiao Bao: "..."
Xiao Bao immediately panicked. This was bad, they were questioning her now?
"I… I can just talk, is that not allowed?" Xiao Bao thought and protested in her milky voice.
Lu Wanqing smiled. She found Xiao Bao too adorable, so small and soft, making one want to hug her.
Lu Yang narrowed his eyes and stared at her: "Don't want to say?"
Xiao Bao: "..."
Xiao Bao's expression was too stiff at this moment. Even Lu Wanqing could tell that this little one… did seem a bit unusual.
The next moment, Lu Yang picked Xiao Bao up and walked out.
Lu Wanqing panicked and quickly followed, asking anxiously, "Third brother, where are you taking Xiao Bao?"
They had already gotten dressed. Lu Yang, holding Xiao Bao, said sternly, "To the hospital again."
"Hospital?" Lu Wanqing was confused.
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Wanqing understood why Lu Yang had brought Xiao Bao to the hospital. Lu Yang suspected that their Xiao Bao might have been infected by the Zerg, otherwise, how could such a young child be so intelligent?
However, soon, the examination results came out. There were no signs of Zerg infestation on Xiao Bao.
Hearing the results, Lu Wanqing was also overjoyed, repeatedly asking, "So Xiao Bao is fine, she's not infected by the Zerg, right?"
"Phew, that scared me to death just now," Lu Wanqing said, finally relieved.
"Don't celebrate too early," Lu Yang warned.
Lu Yang stared at Xiao Bao and narrowed his eyes slightly, threatening, "I'll give you three minutes to explain your origin, otherwise…"
"Otherwise, what do you want to do?" Xiao Bao wasn't afraid of her dad at all. In her past life, Dad didn't dare to bully her. Whenever he did, she'd run to Mom to complain, and then Dad wouldn't dare.
Xiao Bao put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Daddy, I'm telling you, don't bully me. If you bully me, I… I'll tell Mommy to hit you!"
Xiao Bao almost shouted the last sentence, very loudly.
Hearing Xiao Bao's words and looking at the little girl's spirited demeanor, Lu Yang and Lu Wanqing found it amusing. At the same time, Lu Wanqing also felt that Xiao Bao was likely not infected by the Zerg.
First, the process of Xiao Bao's genetic cultivation had been overseen by her and third brother all along; no one else had the opportunity to interfere.
Second, if Xiao Bao had indeed been infected by the Zerg, her sudden action of standing up to protect her mother today would be very unusual. Parasites shouldn't be so stupid as to expose themselves directly, right?
Third, many of Xiao Bao's actions made her feel a clear sense of connection through blood. She believed her child; Xiao Bao was definitely not a Zerg disguise!
