Chapter 252: Chapter 156: Who’s Your Daddy After All! [Large Chapter, 5000 Words]_3

“Alright then, Dad, if you need help, remember to tell me. I’ll be here playing with Niuniu, keeping you company,” Little Fourth said, with Niuniu perched on her shoulder, cocking her little head to look at Ye Fan, her eyes filled with joy.

“Okay, Little Fourth, you and Niuniu get along so well,” Ye Fan replied.

Little Fourth Ye Jie seemed different today.

Exceptionally sensible.

“Of course, I really like Niuniu, and Niuniu really likes me too!” Little Fourth Ye Jie said proudly.

Hearing her voice, one could sense the sheer delight she felt.

“Liking each other is good. Treat Niuniu well; she’s like a child to me too,” Ye Fan remarked.

Of course, Niuniu was the one he had hatched from an egg himself.

“Mhm, I will! We’re all your good children!”

“Chirp~” Niuniu chirped at Ye Fan, as if also responding.

“Yes, you are all good children!” Ye Fan responded.

“Hehe~~ Niuniu, Dad said we’re all good children!” Little Fourth sat on the chair, hugging Niuniu as she spoke.

She really loved her dad.

Little Fourth Ye Jie felt that her dad really understood her.

Of course, the matter she wanted to share with her dad was on her mind.

But she was a bit afraid that Dad would worry.

Still, she gave it some serious thought.

“Dad, if you suddenly gained superpowers, what would you want to do most?” Little Fourth asked Ye Fan innocently.

What indeed would one want to do with superpowers.

Luckily, she watched a lot of TV and learned that what she had was called superpowers; otherwise, she wouldn’t have known.

Don’t mention how scared she was when she first discovered her own great strength.

The last thing she wanted was to become one of those muscle-bound girls. That would be too scary.

If she could just knock down a cow with a single finger, the mere thought thrilled her.

Of course, she also knew it could be dangerous if others found out.

She had watched plenty of TV, after all.

Moreover, Niuniu had told her not to tell others.

If she did, she’d be taken away, never to return home, even dissected into pieces. This scared Little Fourth Ye Jie so much she didn’t dare say another word, immediately deciding to keep it a secret and swear she’d never tell anyone about her superpowers.

Of course, her desire to reveal it now was because the person she was telling was her dad.

Her own dad had superpowers too.

So she thought it might be okay to tell just him.

She had immense trust in her dad; if she couldn’t trust her own dad, who could she trust?

“Well, that depends on what kind of superpowers. But even then, you’d have to keep it low-key, not letting anyone find out. People can be very complex, and if they knew, many would stab you in the back, and you’d end up dead in a very ugly way!” Ye Fan said.

“That’s why I tell you to keep it a secret, and not to blab about Dad taking you to different places to see animals, okay?” Ye Fan spoke with a serious tone, making Little Fourth Ye Jie feel worried.

“I know, Dad. I won’t tell a soul, I swear. Oh, and Dad, I actually have something I want to tell you!” Ye Jie stood up, her small stature barely reaching to Ye Fan’s knees as she looked up at him, her large eyes shining brighter than the stars in the sky.

“What is it?” Ye Fan asked.

The little tyke’s earnest demeanor was something Ye Fan wasn’t quite used to.

Old Little Fourth was not usually so serious, often being mischievous.

But this time, she was so earnest.

Ye Fan was deeply curious.

“Dad, can you crouch down? Looking up like this is uncomfortable!” Ye Jie spoke with a slightly distressed voice.

Her neck was starting to ache.

She thought her dad was so tall.

So tall and handsome, and excellent too. That was her dad.

She felt so proud!

“Okay, Dad will crouch down and listen to what my precious little girl has to say.” Ye Fan set aside his brush and tongs and squatted down, smiling at Little Fourth Ye Jie.

‘Come closer, this is the stove, be careful not to get burned!’

Ye Fan pulled his daughter Ye Jie a little closer to him, knowing that the stove was very hot and a child’s skin was so delicate that getting burned could be serious!

‘Mmm,’ Little Fourth came closer, her eyes darting around nervously to ensure no one noticed them, before she finally sighed in relief.

But her slightly chubby cheeks were still tense.

This made Ye Fan even more curious.

What on earth could the little girl want to say?

Being so particularly cautious, too.

“Daddy, the thing I’m going to tell you, you can’t tell anyone else, otherwise, we’ll both be doomed, we’ll be taken away for slicing!” Little Fourth looked at Ye Fan, her small mouth speaking seriously.

“What?!~~”

!!!

???

What the heck?

(⊙o⊙)…

This Little Fourth Ye Jie, just who does she take after?

Why does ‘slicing’ even cross her mind?

Ye Fan wanted to laugh, and indeed, he did laugh out loud.

This silly child!

Ah, why is she so adorably foolish.

“Daddy, don’t laugh, I’m serious, we will really get sliced for research,” Little Fourth Ye Jie said with urgency.

Looking at her father’s reaction, it was clear, he didn’t believe her.

Oh dear, her foolish father.

Why wouldn’t he believe her?

The situation was quite serious.

And he could still laugh about it.

Little Fourth looked at Ye Fan with an expression that showed disappointment in his inability to understand the gravity of the issue.

Suddenly, Ye Fan understood her expression and stopped laughing.

Ye Fan thought to himself, my goodness!

Just who is the parent here?

How could Little Fourth Ye Jie look at him with such a gaze?

She’s showing no respect for her elders.

“What’s with that look?” Ye Fan felt he needed to assert his parental authority.

He couldn’t let his daughter look down on him.

“No particular look, just that I feel Daddy, you’re very disappointed in me,” Little Fourth Ye Jie stated earnestly, not feeling anything wrong with a daughter saying this to her father.

“You’re saying, who is whose father!” Ye Fan looked at the little one seriously.

Not bad at all, so she’s grown wings?

“Of course, you’re my father, don’t you know that? Have you laughed yourself silly, Daddy!” Little Fourth looked baffled, then continued to speak.

She thought her dad had become dumb.

Didn’t he know that she was his daughter, that he was her father?

“Daddy, you haven’t laughed yourself silly, have you?”

Little Fourth Ye Jie was really worried.

Her father acting this way scared her.

What to do.

“You’re the one who’s laughed yourself silly,” Ye Fan felt like he was about to spit blood from exasperation.

The little tyke, you can’t say she doesn’t understand, because she knows a lot.

But then again, there are things she just doesn’t get.
