In the blink of an eye, two years have passed.

My brothers have been away from home for two years.

The heartless brothers never came home even once.

They didn't know that Xiao Yan Yan had grown up.

Although she was young, she knew that her eldest brother was researching a great invention in the laboratory, that her second brother had inherited her great-grandfather's vast family business, that her third brother had risked his life to publish a medical formula that would benefit the whole world, and that her fourth brother had held a particularly grand concert.

She even secretly went to that concert with her parents, but her four silly older brothers didn't know.

In short, her four older brothers are all amazing!

Xiao Yan Yan is very proud.

Although she misses her four older brothers, she has her dad and mom with her, as well as her great-grandfather, grandfather, maternal grandparents, and four uncles and aunts who dote on her, so she is not lonely at all.

Everyone loves her very, very much.

However, there was someone she missed very, very much in her heart.

Tomorrow is New Year's Day.

Tonight, Bo Chaoyan took a bath as usual, wearing fluffy bunny pajamas. Her wet hair was wrapped in a towel and put on her head as a small bun.

She tiptoed and gave her mother a quick kiss on the cheek: "Goodnight, Mommy~"

Su Yutang pinched her little nose: "Goodnight, Yan Yan. Are you going to sleep by yourself tonight?"

"Yes!" The little girl nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling. "Yan Yan is four years old now, she's a big girl, she can sleep by herself!"

Bo Jingzhou, who was standing next to her, smiled and handed her a warm milk: "Our Yan Yan is so brave. After you finish your milk, go to sleep. Tomorrow is New Year's Day, and Daddy and Mommy will take you to the amusement park."

"Yay~" Bo Chaoyan took the milk, gulped it down, handed the empty cup to her daddy, and waved her little hand, "Goodnight, Daddy and Mommy, Happy New Year~"

"Happy New Year, baby," Bo Jingzhou and Su Yutang said at the same time.

Bo Chaoyan skipped and hopped back to her small room.

In the pink princess room, everything was arranged according to her preferences. There were glow-in-the-dark stickers of stars and moons on the walls, the bed was piled with plush toys, and the bookshelves were filled with picture books and fairy tales.

She closed the door and carefully locked it from the inside.

Then, she immediately went to the bedside and pulled a small cell phone out from under the pillow.

Bo Chaoyan climbed onto the bed with her phone in her arms, burrowed under the covers, and only her head was sticking out.

She glanced at the small alarm clock on the bedside table. When both the hour and minute hands pointed to twelve, she skillfully dialed a video call.

"Jingle Bell……"

The video call was connected very quickly.

A man's face appeared on the phone screen.

He was very handsome, but his features were cold and hard, and his brows carried the majesty of someone who had been in a high position for many years. But at this moment, there was a slight smile in his deep eyes.

"Happy New Year, Godfather!" Bo Chaoyan immediately called out sweetly, a bright smile blooming on her little face.

On the other side of the screen, Xiao Hengyu frowned: "Why aren't you calling me Daddy anymore?"

He used to call him "father," but this year he suddenly stopped and started calling him "godfather," which made Xiao Hengyu feel a little strange.

Has this little girl become distant from me?

Xiao Yan Yan explained very seriously: "Because my daddy gets jealous. He's really jealous, and you can't coax him away."

As she said this, her little brows furrowed slightly, giving her a mature look as if she really couldn't do anything about him.

This is real.

Several times before, she secretly video-called "Daddy" but was caught by her father, Bo Jingzhou.

Although her father didn't scold her or confiscate her phone, the look of disappointment in his eyes and his forced smile made Bo Chaoyan feel heartbroken for a long time.

Later, Daddy hugged her and said, "Back then, it was Daddy who failed to protect Yan Yan, which gave the bad guys an opportunity to take advantage of her..."

Although Daddy immediately said, "Daddy Xiao isn't a bad person," the little girl understood, and Daddy was very sad.

From then on, Bo Chaoyan learned her lesson.

In front of Daddy, I will never mention Father Xiao, let alone call him Father.

When calling him privately, he also started calling him "godfather".

Looking at the little face on the screen, Xiao Hengyu felt a mix of tenderness and bitterness in his heart.

I really want to tell the little girl directly that her daddy is just pretending, that he's a scheming dog, but he can't, because that would give her the impression that he's a real bad guy.

He cannot afford to lose this battle with Bo Jingzhou.

So Xiao Hengyu started trying different ways to coax the little guy, "Then don't worry about him, he's not here anyway, you can call me Daddy now."

But the little guy is not easy to fool.

Bo Chaoyan shook her head, her expression very serious: "No, Daddy will be sad. He always looks sad and says it's because he didn't protect me well, which gave the bad guys an opportunity..."

At this point, she suddenly realized something, quickly covered her mouth with her little hand, and darted around with her big eyes, adding, "I didn't say that Godfather is a bad person, Daddy said you're not a bad person, Mommy said you're not a bad person, and Yan Yan also knows you're not a bad person!"

Her eagerness to explain was so adorable that Xiao Hengyu couldn't help but laugh: "I know, but what if... I'm sad too?"

He deliberately put on a sad expression: "Yan Yan, do you only care that your daddy is sad, but don't you care that I am sad?"

I've used this trick before, and it works quite well. The little girl is soft-hearted and can't bear to see people sad.

But today's hyacinth seems to have evolved.

She sighed, and the sigh coming from the mouth of a four-year-old child had a strangely comical quality: "Oh, they're both my flesh and blood, I love you both equally."

Xiao Hengyu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The little girl has already learned how to carry water.

But the little girl not only knows how to serve water, she also knows how to coax people.

"Godfather, is it snowing where you are?" Bo Chaoyan suddenly asked.

Xiao Hengyu turned his phone camera out the window.

A world covered in silver appeared on the screen, with snowflakes slowly falling from the sky and distant mountains covered with a thick blanket of snow.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Bo Chaoyan exclaimed. "It's snowing here too, but not as much as where you are. Dad said he'll take me to build a snowman when the snow gets a little thicker."

"What kind of snowman do you want to build?" Xiao Hengyu asked.

The little girl on the other side of the screen held up three fingers, "We need to build three snowmen in total, two big ones for Daddy and Mommy, and one small one for Yan Yan!"

Xiao Hengyu paused, then asked softly, "What about Godfather's?"

Bo Chaoyan smiled slyly, then said seriously, "Godfather's snowman... When Godfather comes to see me, we'll build one together, the biggest one ever!"

“Okay.” Xiao Hengyu smiled. “Once Godfather is done with this busy period, we’ll go see Yan Yan and build a snowman together.”

"Pinky promise!" Bo Chaoyan extended her little finger towards the screen.

Xiao Hengyu also extended his little finger and made a pinky promise with her across the screen.

They had done this gesture many times; every time Xiao Hengyu promised to come see her, Bo Chaoyan would make a pinky promise.

She said, "If you pinky swear, you can't lie to me. Lying is for dogs!"

......

In the corridor outside, Bo Jingzhou and Su Yutang, feeling uneasy, decided to come and check on things.

However, they could clearly hear the voices coming from inside, even through the door.

The little girl was definitely acting strange tonight. Usually, she would insist on having her dad tell her a story before bed, or have her mom lie down with her for a while before she would fall asleep. But tonight, she rushed back to her room and locked the door.

It turns out the little girl was perfectly normal; she was just secretly making a video call to someone.

Bo Jingzhou felt a mix of emotions as he listened to the little girl calling him "godfather" repeatedly.

Especially that line, "Both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh," does Xiao Hengyu even deserve to be compared to him? Who is the palm and who is the back of the hand?

Rationally, he should be magnanimous; Xiao Hengyu's existence poses no threat to him.

Emotionally... well, he admits, he was jealous.

His daughter has grown up, but she still can't forget Xiao Hengyu. What can he do? There's nothing he can do.

Fortunately, the little girl has a conscience and knows to call Xiao Hengyu her godfather.

Thinking of this, Bo Jingzhou felt a little more at ease, after all, his daughter was still on his side.

Just then, the conversation inside the room seemed to be coming to an end.
