My bad father married a princess, my mother divorced me, and I became the group's favorite

After Liu Yunniang and her group finished their meal, they left the restaurant.

The group walked slowly along the bustling streets of Beizhou City. Ye Xiaoxiao looked around excitedly, full of curiosity about everything around her.

"Mom, where are we staying tonight?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked, holding Liu Yunniang's hand and jumping.

Liu Yunniang gently comforted her, "Don't worry, Xiaoxiao, we'll find it soon."

The group continued to move forward, and soon they saw a store called "Yue Lai Inn" in front of them.

The sign above the store door fluttered in the wind, giving people a fresh, clean, comfortable and pleasant feeling. Liu Qing, one of the guards, took the lead and walked quickly into the inn, asking loudly: "Boss, are there any rooms available?"

The shopkeeper came out from behind the counter with a smile on his face, "Sir, you came at the right time. There just so happens to be an upper room vacant!"

Liu Yunniang followed and walked into the inn. She glanced around and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Then let's take this one. We'll open two more rooms for guests."

The shopkeeper smiled and responded, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment. I will ask someone to take you upstairs to see the room."

After saying that, he turned around and told the waiter beside him. The waiter immediately stepped forward and enthusiastically led everyone upstairs.

As Ye Xiaoxiao walked, she looked curiously at the various furnishings and decorations in the corridor, and kept praising: "This place looks pretty good."

The group soon arrived at the room, which was simply and cleanly decorated.

Liu Yunniang walked into the room, gently touched the bed, and said with satisfaction: "It's quite tidy. Let's rest here tonight."

Ye Xiaoxiao threw herself on the bed and rolled around happily: "Great, I can finally rest!"

Because there was only one room upstairs, Chunxi's room and the guard's room were both downstairs.

"Chunxi, you should also go down and have a rest. You have been working hard for so many days. Let Liu Qing, Liu Yun and the others rest as well."

Chunxi was worried and wanted to stay with Ye Xiaoxiao for a while longer, but when she saw that her eyes were hazy and she seemed to be falling asleep, she had to leave.

Seeing her daughter sleeping soundly, Liu Yunniang felt a little sleepy too, so she lay down with her to rest.

Although the boat was comfortably furnished, it was not as good as flat ground. In addition, she had been practicing martial arts for the past few days and had little time to rest. As soon as Liu Yunniang lay down, she felt sleepy without the swaying of the boat and fell asleep without realizing it.

When Ye Xiaoxiao woke up, she glanced at her mother beside her. Her mother must have been very tired as she was not woken up by her noise.

She didn't want to wake up her mother, and after a while she felt bored and her eyes rolled around.

Could she let her mother rest here while she went downstairs and asked the waiter to take her to find Sister Chunxi?

Anyway, we haven't left the inn, so it should be fine.

Ye Xiaoxiao did what she said and slid off the bed swiftly with her little butt sticking out.

She adjusted her skirt in front of the bronze mirror, making sure it was still as cute as ever, then quietly opened the door and slipped out.

As soon as Ye Xiaoxiao went out, she started walking towards the stairs. Sister Chunxi and the others' room was downstairs. She didn't know which room it was, but she knew that as long as she went over and asked the waiter, she would know where it was.

Here, Ye Xiaoxiao carefully held the handrail of the stairs and began to move down step by step.

But at the same time, someone came up from downstairs and attracted her attention.

This man is tall and straight, like a vigorous green pine tree, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

His face was as cold as ice, his angular features seemed to be carved out of marble, and his deep eyes were like cold ponds, making people dare not look into his eyes, as if they would be frozen by his icy gaze if they looked at him for even a second longer.

The simple black brocade robe looked elegant on him.

The texture of the brocade robe looks ordinary, but it is actually delicate and smooth, and it gleams with a faint luster under the light.

The corners of his robe swayed slightly with his steps, and every step was filled with unquestionable majesty.

He wore a black belt around his waist, with a green jade pendant inlaid on it, which added a touch of elegance and mystery to him.

He exuded an aura that kept strangers away, as if he was a king walking out of the darkness.

Behind this man were four followers, all of whom had strong builds and walked with steady and powerful steps, exuding a bravery that came from people who had been baptized by war.

Ye Xiaoxiao was frightened by the aura of the group of people. She slipped and fell forward. She screamed in fear: "Ah!"

At this critical moment, the noble and cold man was quick to take a step forward, stretch out his long arms, and embrace Ye Xiaoxiao in his arms.

Ye Xiaoxiao was still in shock, her little face was pale, and her big eyes were full of fear and helplessness.

The man looked down at the little girl in his arms, his stern expression softened slightly, and he said in a low and gentle voice: "Little girl, be careful."

Ye Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment before she realized that she was saved. She blushed and stammered, "Thank... Thank you, uncle."

The man gently put her down, and the followers behind him breathed a sigh of relief.

I don’t know why, but at that moment, they were afraid that their master would not catch the child.

The little girl was about five years old. She was wearing a pink dress and looked like a tender flower bud.

Her little face was rosy and white, like a freshly picked peach, making people want to pinch it. Her big eyes were watery, and at this moment, tears were still in them because of the shock, like the dewdrops rolling on the lotus leaves in the morning, crystal clear.

The pink skirt was well-cut, with delicate flowers embroidered on the hem. It swayed gently with her movements, making her look even more charming and lovely. The two pigtails stood playfully on both sides of her head, swinging back and forth with her movements, full of childlike innocence and vitality.

At this moment, she was still in shock, her mouth slightly open, and her look made people feel pity for her.

You can tell at first glance that he is a child who was spoiled at home.

The man naturally didn't know what his subordinates were thinking. He looked at Ye Xiaoxiao's rosy face and childish eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible smile.

"Little girl, what are you doing alone on the stairs?" The man's voice was still low, but with a little more concern.

Ye Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes and whispered, "I... I want to go find Sister Chunxi."

The man raised his eyebrows slightly, "Chunxi? Is he your family member?"

Ye Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head, "Yes, Sister Chunxi is taking care of me."

"What about your family? Isn't your mother with you?"

"Hush, my mother is asleep, I came out quietly, Sister Chunxi is in the room downstairs, I can find her myself."

The man hesitated for a moment, then turned to a guard behind him and said, "Take this girl downstairs to find her sister Chunxi."

The guard responded, then extended his hand to Ye Xiaoxiao and said gently, "Little girl, come with me."

The man watched Ye Xiaoxiao obediently follow the guards downstairs, and couldn't help feeling a little resentful.

The child's mother is so careless. How could she let such a young child walk on the stairs alone? What would she do if something really happened?

His brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

But soon, he regained his stern expression and continued walking upstairs.

The guard brought Ye Xiaoxiao downstairs. Ye Xiaoxiao blinked her big eyes, looked at the guard and said, "Uncle, could you please ask Brother Xiaoer where Sister Chunxi's room is?"

The guard nodded and called the waiter. Ye Xiaoxiao stood obediently by the side with her hands folded in front of her.

Seeing this, the waiter smiled and asked, "Little girl, what's wrong?"

Ye Xiaoxiao answered clearly: "I want to find Sister Chunxi to play with me."

Ye Xiaoxiao was cute, and Liu Yunniang and her group were all eye-catching, so the waiter naturally had an impression of them.

The waiter pointed to a room at the end of the corridor and said, "It's the second to last room at the end."

Ye Xiaoxiao thanked her sweetly, then turned back to thank the guard, saying that she could do it alone, and then walked over there in small steps.

The guard followed behind and looked at her small figure as she walked up to the door and knocked on it alone. He was even more impressed with the little girl in his heart.

Only after he confirmed that the little girl was led into the house by the maid did he turn around and leave.

Back upstairs, the man was sitting at the table, flipping through the letters in his hand.

The guard stepped forward and said respectfully, "Master, the young lady has found Miss Chunxi's room."

The man didn't even raise his head, "Yeah."

The guard continued, "Master, you didn't see it. The little girl was only five years old, but she spoke clearly and was very smart."

The man put down the letter and looked at the guard, "Oh? How clever is that?"

The guard described it vividly: "When I took her to the waiter to ask about the room, she first politely asked for my help, and then answered the waiter's questions neatly and without any hesitation, and kept saying thank you. She was very likable."

The man raised his lips slightly, "She's quite an interesting little girl."

The guard smiled and said, "That's right. She is so pretty that one can't help wanting to cherish her."

The man said thoughtfully: "Judging from the way she is dressed, she must be from a good family."

The guard replied, "I think so too, but I don't know why she was alone on those stairs."

The man snorted: "I guess her family is a bit careless."

The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, I think that the little girl is pretty, and her mother must be a beauty too. It's just that she seems to be too confident in her child."

The man frowned, "You're talking too much."

The guard lowered his head quickly and said, "Yes, I know I was wrong."

The man stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the street outside. "This Beizhou City is quite lively these days."

The guard followed behind him and said, "I heard that the Qiqiao Festival is approaching and there will be a lantern festival in the city tonight, so more people are coming and going."

The man was silent for a moment, "Go down."

"Yes, sir!" The guard took the order and retreated.

On the other side, Ye Xiaoxiao found Chunxi's room. After knocking on the door and entering, Chunxi saw her and asked in surprise, "Miss, why did you come here by yourself?"

Ye Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "I miss Sister Chunxi."

Chunxi shook her head helplessly, "Miss, you can't run around like this anymore. What if you run into a bad guy?"

Ye Xiaoxiao threw herself into Chunxi's arms and said, "No, a kind uncle sent someone to bring me here."

Chunxi patted her head and looked around, but didn't see anyone. "That's good, come here, Miss. I have prepared some snacks for you."

When Ye Xiaoxiao saw the snacks, her eyes lit up. She picked up a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, leaving her face covered with snack residue.

Chunxi smiled and wiped her mouth, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

At this time, Liu Yunniang also found that Ye Xiaoxiao was missing and was anxiously looking for her. When she asked the waiter and learned that Ye Xiaoxiao was with Chunxi, she was relieved.

Liu Yunniang came to the room and scolded, "Xiaoxiao, how could you run away without saying a word? You made your mother worried."

Ye Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and said, "Mom, I was wrong."

Liu Yunniang sighed helplessly, "Don't do this next time."
