Hand yourself over to the nation, and may the dragon god's offspring bring prosperity to the en

What...what kind of monster is this?!

Wu Shaoyang looked up at Long Xiaoxiao, trembling. The pain all over his body showed what had just happened.

He was a burly man who was 1.8 meters tall, and he was sent flying by a punch from a baby who was only as tall as his thigh.

how can that be!

Yuan Wang noticed Wu Shaoyang's gaze, and his heart immediately skipped a beat.

She was certainly aware of Long Xiaoxiao's unusual abilities, and if Wu Shaoyang found out, there was no guarantee he wouldn't do something drastic to Long Xiaoxiao.

It is true that a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. It is certainly good that a small dragon is incredibly strong, but if too many people find out about it, then it is not a good thing.

Yuan Wang subconsciously bent down and picked up Long Xiaoxiao, holding her protectively in her arms. It wasn't until Long Xiaoxiao obediently rubbed her head against her forehead that she realized what was happening.

Huh? Why couldn't those people lift Long Xiaoxiao before? How come she can lift her so easily?

Yuan Wang's doubt flashed by, but he quickly faced Wu Shaoyang with a cold expression, raised his chin, and said, "Get out of my way, and don't let me see you again."

Wu Shaoyang then realized how awkward his current posture was, with Yuan Wang even looking down at him. So he quickly stood up, rubbing his aching chest, and glared at Yuan Wang with a frown.

"Humph!"

He gave a cold snort.

Being knocked away by a child was too shameful for Wu Shaoyang to pursue the matter for the time being. He simply limped over and called his bodyguard to come and pick him up.

When he finally arrived at the hospital and saw the words "rib fracture" in big letters, Wu Shaoyang gritted his teeth.

That despicable Yuan Wang, he'll make her pay!

Yuan Wang carried Long Xiaoxiao back indoors and sat down at the dining table. Long Xiaoxiao quickly took out new plastic gloves to continue eating crayfish.

Yuan Wang looked at Long Xiaoxiao seriously and said, "Xiaoxiao, you can't just start a fight like that next time."

Long Xiaoxiao, still chewing on crayfish, raised her head in confusion, exclaimed "Ah!", and blinked her big eyes, looking innocent and pitiful.

Yuan Wang paused for a moment, then explained carefully, "You're too strong. If someone finds out, they might secretly target you."

Yuan Wang didn't know about others, but Wu Shaoyang was definitely capable of doing such a thing.

Long Xiaoxiao could only nod reluctantly, and then added, "But he's going to bully you."

Looking into Long Xiaoxiao's worried eyes, Yuan Wang felt her long-lonely heart filled with joy. She reached out and gently pinched Long Xiaoxiao's chubby cheeks, saying earnestly, "Xiaoxiao wants to help me, right? But Xiaoxiao also needs to protect herself."

Long Xiaoxiao seemed to understand, but not quite.

The next morning, while Long Xiaoxiao was still sleeping comfortably in her soft quilt, Yuan Wang had already gotten up, dressed, and sat down by Long Xiaoxiao's bedside to wake her up.

To help Long Xiaoxiao adapt to life here as quickly as possible, Yuan Wang found several suitable kindergartens for Long Xiaoxiao to try out first.

"Xiaoxiao, it's time for us to get up," Yuan Wang called out gently.

Long Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes, hummed a few times, then turned over and continued sleeping.

Just as Yuan Wang reached out to pick up Long Xiaoxiao, his phone rang. He got up and went to answer the call.

It was the auntie from the old house calling.

"Ah Wang, today is the old lady's birthday banquet. She wants you to bring that child back home today."

Yuan Wang's gaze narrowed slightly, but after a sigh, he agreed.

Turning back into the room, Long Xiaoxiao was fully awake, rubbing her eyes and blankly trying to put on her clothes, but because she was clumsy, the sweater got stuck on her head.

Seeing this, Yuan Wang's bad mood was dispelled, and he smiled as he helped Long Xiaoxiao get dressed.

"Sister, what is kindergarten?" Long Xiaoxiao let Yuan Wang play with her like a well-behaved rag doll.

"Xiaoxiao, we can't go to kindergarten today, we have to go to your sister's house, is that okay?" Yuan Wang asked.

Long Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.

It doesn't really matter where you go.

After dressing up Long Xiaoxiao, Yuan Wang looked her over carefully and couldn't help but smile and kiss her cheek.

"Huh?" Long Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise, touching her face.

Overwhelmed by the cuteness, Yuan Wang showered the girl with kisses again.

After cuddling for a while, Yuan Wang carried Long Xiaoxiao into the car; she had already had a car seat delivered yesterday.

We drove all the way to the Yuan family's old residence. Today was the seventieth birthday banquet of the old lady of the Yuan family, and many relatives and friends had been invited. The extravagant and decadent atmosphere amidst the clinking of glasses was dazzling.

However, Yuan Wang felt his mood suddenly drop. He took a deep breath and carried Long Xiaoxiao inside.

Yuan Wang didn't change into an elegant evening gown, but instead wore simple work attire. Long Xiaoxiao in his arms was wearing a pretty autumn dress, but it was mostly casual and comfortable, not overly formal.

Everyone else in the room was dressed in gorgeous and exquisite gowns, making Yuan Wang and Long Xiaoxiao seem out of place.

"Miss, you're back." An auntie who was standing nearby recognized Yuan Wang and quickly went up to greet her.

Yuan Wang nodded slightly and asked, "Where is Grandma?"

She came this time knowing that even if she didn't come, the Yuan family wouldn't let her off easily. In addition, she was invited to the birthday banquet, and if she didn't come, she would only get a bad reputation.

The aunt opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted.

It was Wu Shaoyang. Although he was wearing a suit, he was still wrapped in bandages and had a cane in his right hand, so he looked a little comical. However, no one in the room dared to laugh out loud.

Wu Shaoyang is backed by the Wu family.

"Oh, Yuan Wang, you're here too." Wu Shaoyang's tone was sarcastic. "I have to say, your skin is incredibly thick; you actually dare to come back."

As he spoke, Wu Shaoyang glanced warily at Long Xiaoxiao.

Wu Shaoyang's loud voice attracted everyone's attention.

Yuan Wang was extremely impatient and said to Wu Shaoyang in an unfriendly tone, "What, haven't you had enough of being beaten yet?"

One sentence brought back all of Wu Shaoyang's memories from last night, and his already bad complexion turned even darker.

Curious glances swept between the two. Long Xiaoxiao was held tightly in Yuan Wang's arms. Realizing that something was wrong, she struggled to peek out and look around.

As soon as Long Xiaoxiao's head popped out, a girl exclaimed in surprise.

"What an adorable child."

"This looks so familiar... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?"

"Don't all children look the same?"

"I think so, but it really looks familiar."

"..."

The soft murmurs around them did not disturb the two people who were facing off.

Wu Shaoyang had just lost the argument and was about to say something to turn the tide when he heard a familiar, aged voice interrupt him.

"Ah Wang, it's been so long since I've seen you."

It was the old lady of the Yuan family.

Yuan Wang had always had a terrible relationship with his grandmother. Now, hearing her feigned kind and gentle tone, he felt nauseous, but he could only turn around and nod at her.

Happy birthday, Grandma! May you have boundless happiness and longevity.

The old lady of the Yuan family did not respond, but stood not far away and looked Yuan Wang and Long Xiaoxiao up and down.

The crowd in the middle spontaneously parted to make way, and Old Madam Yuan walked straight toward Yuan Wang.

Long Xiaoxiao keenly sensed a hint of danger, so she raised her head and looked at the old lady of the Yuan family, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly.
