Chapter 1544 Untitled
Seeing Little Xiaxia, whom he had not seen in a long time, a ripple flashed across Yu Qian's cold eyes. "Didn't your father tell you??"
Although Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had not returned, Xiao Bao and Little Jiajin had raised her very well. Little Xiaxia was even fatter than when she left back then. Her bright eyes were filled with excitement.
"What?" Little Xiaxia smiled at Yu Qian with a row of white teeth and dimples on her face.
"Back then, Jun Shiling specially sent you to me. If not for the many benefits he gave me, I wouldn't have taken care of you at all," Yu Qian replied coldly to Little Xiaxia. His gaze landed on the potted plant beside him and he did not look at Little Xiaxia on the screen.
A hint of sadness flashed across Little Xiaxia's eyes, but soon, she stared at the camera again. "Uncle Yu, did my father install cameras in the castle??"
Yu Qian turned to look at Little Xiaxia. "Of course not."
A smile bloomed on Little Xiaxia's face. "Since there are no surveillance cameras, Uncle Yu, you can hand me over to the nanny and butler to take care of. Why did you take care of me personally??"
Yu Qian was stunned. "That's because I want you to think that I'm good and then you won't be close to Jun Shiling."
"Hmph." Little Xiaxia had facial features similar to Xia Wanyuan's, but the expression on her face was different from hers. She mischievously wrinkled her nose at Yu Qian. "Uncle Yu, you're lying. I'm very close to Daddy, and I'm very close to Uncle Yu!!!"
Yu Qian frowned. "I'm hanging up."
"No!!!" Little Xiaxia began to cry. "Uncle Yu, you don't want me anymore. Boohoo."
Little Xiaxia had grown up by Yu Qian's side. To be honest, she had never cried because as long as it was her request, Yu Qian would satisfy her.
However, under this atmosphere of agreeing to everything, Little Xiaxia did not grow crooked. Other than being especially lively, her worldview was not like that of a child raised by Yu Qian, who had an antisocial personality.
Looking at Little Xiaxia's tears falling one by one, Yu Qian frowned slightly. "Stop crying."
"No, then Uncle Yu, when are you coming to visit me?"
"I've signed a treaty. A and D worlds won't interact for a hundred years. I won't return to China anymore." Hidden Continent had only developed under Jiang Qing's lead.
Jiang Qing was extremely invasive to begin with. He was from the hidden family and knew some secret techniques that had long been lost in the modern world. Furthermore, he used this to control many people.
After Jiang Qing left, the secret technique he had once cast on everyone lost its effect. Just like An Lin, Jiang Qing's disappearance had disappeared with all the traces he had left behind.
Now that Hidden Continent was leaderless, in order to avoid another war, the two sides signed a treaty that they would not be in contact for a hundred years. As for Yu Qian, he returned to the island from D World the day before the treaty took effect.
Hearing Yu Qian's explanation, Little Xiaxia frowned and wanted to cry again, but Yu Qian stopped her. "You're not allowed to cry."
Little Xiaxia settled for the next best thing. "Uncle Yu, it's fine if you don't let me see you, but can we video call often in the future??"
"Mm." Yu Qian hesitated for a few seconds before nodding.
"Okay!!" Little Xiaxia began to tell Yu Qian all sorts of fun things like before. Yu Qian listened quietly, his eyebrows relaxed.
In the manor, Little Jiajin stood beside Xiao Bao. "Brother, do you know who that Yu Qian is??"
Xiao Bao knew. He looked at Little Xiaxia quietly. "He's a bad person."
"Huh? Then why did you agree to let Sister contact him?"
Xiao Bao's gaze landed on Little Xiaxia's smiling face. "Perhaps in a special sense, he's also a pitiful person."
Little Jiajin seemed to understand. "Brother, will Daddy and Mommy come back?"
Xiao Bao lowered his head and stroked Little Jiajin's head. "Definitely. They'll definitely come back."
