I sold grilled fish in the 70s!

Boss, will you still be going to see your beloved woman today with candied hawthorns in your hand?

Haha! Steward Yi, why are you so concerned about my love life today? I was originally planning to go, but I just learned that she is currently at her father's house.

I think I'll leave their reunion alone for now! Because I know that although she seems to treat her father coldly on the surface, she secretly longs for him to spend some time with her.

After saying this, Mu Long took out a cat treat from his pocket, tore it open, walked over to Steward Yi, and placed the cat treat in front of Hei Niu.

What are you doing? What did you just feed the black girl? Was it something poisonous?

Manager Yi asked Mu Long these questions in a low voice, then stretched out his large hand and slapped Mu Long's hand hard. The force was so great that the meat scraps from the cat treats flew out and landed on the floor.

The black girl, who had been tightly held in Manager Yi's arms, suddenly jumped to the floor. Just as she stuck out her pink little tongue to lick the meat paste on the floor, Manager Yi picked her up again.

"You spit it all out? Do you even know what that is? You dared to eat it?" Manager Yi pinched Hei Niu's little mouth hard, trying to make her vomit up everything she had just eaten.

Haha! My future father-in-law, I just fed Blackie a little bit of ordinary minced meat. Why are you so nervous?

Because Manager Yi was pinching Blackie's chin too hard, Blackie kept scratching the back of Manager Yi's hand with her two little paws.

Now that you've recognized me, how dare you feed my cat all that junk?

After hearing what Steward Yi said, Mu Long shook his head helplessly, and then whispered to the servant standing next to him, "Go to the old lady and bring Xiao Furong here."

Heh! Mu Long, you're speechless now about the question I raised, aren't you? Let me give you a piece of advice: you can't just marry the precious daughter of the Xia Emperor as you please.

Uncle, may I ask you a question? Why are you so hostile towards me? I don't recall ever offending you before.

Mu Long, since you've already been married once, why do you still want to provoke my Rong'er? Do you know that my Rong'er has been without a mother since birth, and is pitiful with no one to rely on?

Yes! Her life is extremely difficult, while you, her biological father, live a life of luxury. You dote on the little black cat in your arms, but you leave your own daughter outside, neglecting her and letting her suffer.

Mu Long, I am the father of your beloved daughter. How can you speak to me like this? Aren't you afraid that I will not allow my daughter to marry you?

I thought you were a very considerate man based on what you did in front of me just now! I never expected you to be so disrespectful to your future father-in-law.

Haha! Rong'er doesn't seem to have acknowledged you as her father yet, does she? Don't you feel ashamed calling me "Dad" all the time? What are your intentions in going to such lengths to sneak into my Longsheng Hotel?

Master Long, Little Hibiscus has already been taken to the street by the old lady to play! I'm afraid she won't be back for a while.

Little Hibiscus? Why does that name sound so familiar? I feel like I've heard someone mention it somewhere before.

Father, do you know? Mu Long came to my little house today and brought back an incredibly cute little kitten to woo me. This kitten is the most intelligent I've ever seen.

Hehe! Little girl, why don't you tell your father that you fell in love with that boy named Mu Long because he brought a kitten to you?

Hmm! Father, do you know what it means to love someone because of them? I sent someone to inquire about Mu Long. Before he met me, he had a severe case of mysophobia. He would avoid anything furry like kittens.

So, little girl, don't you think that based on this alone, you and that Mu Long boy won't be able to get along? Listen to your father's advice, you and that Mu Long boy should break up as soon as possible!

Father! Why are you always like this? Every time I talk to you, you let others finish speaking before you express your own opinion.

Good, good, good! From now on, Daddy won't say another word, okay? I'll just quietly listen to how this big fat pig has eaten up the cabbage I've raised with so much care for over ten years.

Hearing her father compare her beloved man to a pig, Rong'er was very unhappy, so she pushed her father's arm hard with both hands.

What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel, you little brat? You dare push your own father?

You wretched father, who told you to compare my beloved man to a pig? I'm warning you! If I ever hear you compare Mu Long to a pig again, you can forget about me acknowledging you as my father.

What's so great about Yang Mulong? I just scolded him a few times, and you're going to sever our father-daughter relationship over it?

Because I felt the fatherly love in him that I had never had before! Since he came into my life, I have experienced the feeling of being cherished and protected.

Do you know what Rong'er is most afraid of? Do you know what her favorite food is? Do you know how Rong'er spends her birthday?

Exactly! You probably haven't even remembered her birthday! How could you possibly care how she spent that day?

Why are you so agitated about this? Could it be that you've been by Rong'er's side every single year on her birthday?

Haha! That's right! No matter how busy I am, I always make time to be with her on her birthday. Did you know? She always feels down for a long time in the days leading up to her birthday.

Where were you when she needed you, her father, the most? Oh! By the way, you should have been celebrating your other daughters' birthdays at your own home, right?

How could I not know all these things you've mentioned? Although I've never been there for any of her birthdays, I've always been watching over her from places where she can't see me.

Upon hearing this news, Mu Long was extremely surprised! Because only he knew that although Rong'er had always said that it didn't matter that her father hadn't appeared in front of her on her birthday.

But every time Rong'er celebrates her birthday, she gets herself completely drunk! She's in unbearable pain, and then she keeps asking herself why she was born without a mother?

Why don't her closest relatives in this world love her? She has lived alone in this little house ever since she can remember.

Mu Long, I really want to thank you. Over the years, you have always been there for Rong'er when she was most lonely and helpless.

Looking at myself as a father, I have truly failed to fulfill even the slightest responsibility of being one!
