Chapter 122: An Extra Daughter

Chapter 122: Chapter 122: An Extra Daughter

"Is this too much of a coincidence?"

Su Luo was incredibly surprised. If he hadn’t been certain that he had only been with Aunt Shen and Lin Ruoxi, he would almost believe that this Nian Nian was his own daughter.

Not only did she resemble his younger self, but even the charm between her brows and eyes seemed somewhat similar.

However.

Su Luo slightly furrowed his brows.

He could tell that there was something wrong with Nian Nian’s body.

"Mommy, is he daddy?"

At that moment, Nian Nian also noticed Su Luo and asked with eyes full of hope.

"No..." Xia Yi was about to deny it, but upon seeing the full hope in Nian Nian’s eyes, she suddenly steeled her heart and said, "Yes, he is your daddy, daddy has come to see you."

Next to her, Su Luo was utterly dumbfounded upon hearing this sentence.

What the heck?

He had just been wondering how Nian Nian looked like him as a child, and then Xia Yi turned around and said he was Nian Nian’s father?

"Daddy?"

"Is he really my daddy?"

Nian Nian was hopeful yet seemed tentative and incredulous, staring at Su Luo, wanting to get closer but not daring to.

"I..."

Su Luo found himself at a loss for words in that moment.

He noticed that Xia Yi was also looking at him with hopeful eyes and even winked at him; the message couldn’t be clearer—she was hoping he would play along.

Although confused, Su Luo did not want to break a three-year-old girl’s heart.

He immediately smiled and said, "Nian Nian, I am daddy, daddy is back."

Xia Yi breathed a sigh of relief; she had been really worried that Su Luo would outright deny being Nian Nian’s father.

"Daddy, you finally came back."

Nian Nian left Xia Yi’s arms and flung herself towards Su Luo.

Su Luo hurriedly crouched down and enveloped the little Nian Nian in his arms.

"Daddy, I missed you so much, you finally came back, Nian Nian finally has a daddy."

Nian Nian was overjoyed.

"Daddy, hug!"

In her joy, Nian Nian also got Su Luo to pick her up.

Seeing the soft and tender Nian Nian lying in his arms, Su Luo couldn’t help but reveal a smile on his face; he found himself genuinely fond of Nian Nian.

But alongside the fondness, Su Luo silently sighed.

When he first saw Nian Nian, he thought that there was something wrong with her body. After picking up Nian Nian and having some contact, Su Luo discreetly examined her and found out that Nian Nian actually had Congenital Absolute Pulse.

This meant that not only could Nian Nian not practice cultivation, but she also couldn’t engage in vigorous activity. If her emotions fluctuated too violently, it could affect her health.

She would often be tormented by pain.

And most critically... she had a short life span!

Even with careful attention to her health, she likely wouldn’t live to adulthood.

This caused Su Luo’s brow to slightly furrow.

"Mommy, come over."

After lying in Su Luo’s arms for a while, Nian Nian turned her head to call for Xia Yi.

Xia Yi hurriedly came closer.

"Hug."

Nian Nian’s soft and tender voice was enough to melt anyone’s heart.

Xia Yi quickly extended her hand to hug her, but Nian Nian shook her head and waved her hands, saying, "Mom, Dad, Nian Nian, let’s all hug together!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yi’s complexion instantly became somewhat unnatural.

So did Su Luo’s.

"Mom, why don’t you hug me?" Nian Nian innocently looked at Xia Yi, her large eyes, gleaming like jewels, blinked slightly.

"It’s not convenient to hug like this," Xia Yi hurriedly explained.

"Mom, the dads and moms in other families always hug and kiss, and they call each other ’dear’. The girl next door, Ya Ya, said that every day before her dad leaves the house, he hugs her and her mom, and kisses both of them..." Nian Nian said, feeling somewhat aggrieved, her understanding of the world very simple.

Xia Yi wanted to explain some more.

Suddenly, Nian Nian lifted her head, looked at Xia Yi, and some tears began to swirl in her large eyes: "Mom, he’s not really my dad, is he? I don’t actually have a dad, do I?"

Seeing Nian Nian’s tears about to fall, Xia Yi’s heart suddenly clenched, and she quickly said, "No, Nian Nian, he is your dad. Look, how much you resemble each other, your eyes and eyebrows are as if carved from the same mold."

Hearing this, Xia Yi also suddenly paused.

Yes.

The eyes and eyebrows of Nian Nian and Su Luo really did look alike, and upon closer inspection, their appearances also seemed similar.

How could this be?

It’s impossible, right?

Xia Yi quickly dismissed the thought with almost zero possibility from her mind and urged Su Luo, "Su Luo, you tell Nian Nian that you are her dad."

Her expression carried a hint of pleading.

In fact, without Xia Yi having to say it again, Su Luo couldn’t bear to see Nian Nian cry. He said, "Yes, Nian Nian, you are my daughter, I am your dad. How could I lie to you?"

"But... but mom and dad don’t want to hug and kiss..." Nian Nian held up her small white hand and wiped the corners of her eyes, her voice filled with a hint of grievance.

Su Luo was also between laughing and crying.

In the world of a child, what they see is what they believe; she thought that if other children’s parents behaved a certain way, hers should too.

But how could he possibly hug and kiss Xia Yi?

Luckily, at this moment, Xia Yi took the initiative to move closer, wrapping her arms around Su Luo’s waist and resting against his other shoulder, just like Nian Nian.

With her other hand, she patted Nian Nian, saying, "Nian Nian, now you believe it, right? He is your dad; you do have a dad. Don’t be sad anymore, okay?"

Nian Nian immediately beamed a smile and quickly nodded her head.

As if suddenly remembering something, Nian Nian immediately asked, "Mommy, why did you just call Daddy Su Luo? Why didn’t you call him ’dear’?"

Xia Yi’s face instantly blushed.

"Nian Nian, not all husbands and wives call each other ’dear’..." Xia Yi explained.

"But, the mom and dad next door, they call each other ’dear’," Nian Nian pouted and murmured softly.

"If Mommy calls Daddy ’dear’ once, will you go to sleep nicely?" Xia Yi hesitated for a moment before saying.

"Yes, yes!" Nian Nian immediately clapped her hands, as if only by mirroring the family next door could she confirm that Su Luo was indeed her dad.

Xia Yi looked towards Su Luo.

Her mouth moved, trying to say it several times, but she couldn’t utter the word.

Su Luo felt awkward as well.

What kind of situation was this?

"Otherwise, you... could you call me that?" Xia Yi still found it difficult to speak out and she tentatively looked at Su Luo.

"Me?" Su Luo was taken aback.

Thinking of Nian Nian’s Congenital Absolute Pulse and her current anticipation, Su Luo thought about it and, without beating around the bush, looked at Xia Yi and called out, "Dear!"

Even with his thick skin, Su Luo felt his face redden and he felt unnatural calling Xia Yi ’dear’.

Xia Yi felt even more so.

Hearing Su Luo’s ’dear’, her originally fair cheeks turned instantly as pink as a peach.
