Chapter 467: A Three-Year-Old Child

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Stinky was not frightened or happy. He glanced at Xiaobai weakly and stared at the paddy field in a daze.

The little field mouse ran away and Xiaobai brought it over again. Stinky was still not very happy.

He was clearly very happy before.

Xiaobai did not know what was wrong with him. He quietly sat in front of Stinky and let him rub its soft wolf skin.

Xiaolv also sat over obediently and craned her head, glancing at Stinky with her beautiful green eyes.

Stinky reached out and rubbed Xiaolv again.

Xiaolv narrowed its eyes with a look of enjoyment. Xiaobai lay in front of Stinky and rolled around again, asking Stinky to rub its stomach.

Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter were tired from playing. When they saw their parents lying in front of Stinky, they also came over.

Stinky’s small body was surrounded in the circles of furry creatures, and his mood was unknowingly lifted.

When Sheng Huaixuan found him, Stinky was already asleep on Xiaobai’s stomach.

The little child was sleeping soundly. Sheng Huaixuan picked him up and rubbed his eyes. He said sleepily, “Daddy.”

Sheng Huaixuan nodded. “Yes, let’s go home.”

Stinky nodded and looked down to see Xiaobai’s family standing there. He waved his chubby hand at them. “I’m leaving. You guys should go home quickly too.”

Xiaobai raised its head arrogantly and gestured for him to take care of himself first.

Stinky was amused by it. It was rare for Sheng Huaixuan to see Stinky so happy these few days, so he invited Xiaobai’s entire family. “Xiaobai, do you want to eat at our place? There’s your favorite roasted chicken.”

Xiaobai looked at the sky reservedly. After eating Sheng Huaixuan’s meal, it could still have a meal at home. Suddenly, it jumped on the spot and gestured for his wife and children to follow.

Sheng Huaixuan carried Stinky and walked home. Behind him was a line of wolves, forming a unique scene.

After eating happily at Stinky’s house, if they didn’t go back, they would have to face Qingfeng’s curfew again.

Stinky suddenly hugged Xiaobai, who was still licking its mouth. There was a hint of cunningness on his chubby face. “Xiaobai, Daddy said that you have to repay others for their kindness. Can you do me a small favor?”

Xiaobai licked its claws and glanced at him arrogantly. It had a smug expression on its face.

Stinky immediately took out the letter he had just written. “Can you help me give the letter to Mother?”

Xiaobai glanced at the letter and turned to leave. Just as Stinky was feeling disappointed, Xiaobai returned with a rice bowl in its mouth.

The meaning was self-evident.

Stinky said excitedly, “Yes, yes, yes. I’ll still treat you to roasted chicken tomorrow.”

Xiaobai reached out a claw and Stinky held it. The wolf and the baby made a deal happily.

Seeing Xiaobai take the letter away, Sheng Huaixuan suddenly said to the happy Stinky, “Since you’re the one who treated Xiaobai, I’ll deduct the money for the roasted chicken from your monthly allowance.”

Stinky widened his eyes. His monthly allowance was only five copper coins. If he treated Xiaobai’s entire family to a meal, wouldn’t that all his pocket money be used up?

With a sad face, he acted cute pitifully. “Daddy… Daddy…”

Sheng Huaixuan raised his eyebrows and smiled like a fox. “You’re already a three-year-old child. You have to learn to earn money independently. When your father was your age, I already did not have pocket money.”

Stinky was speechless. It was so pitiful to have a stingy father.

Xiaobai squatted in front of the Great Empress’ residence with the letter in its mouth. His wife and children also maintained the same posture as him.

After a while, Qingfeng walked over with two dark guards and checked them routinely to prevent them from returning with dirty items.

The letter in Xiaobai’s mouth landed in Qingfeng’s hand.

After checking that there was nothing wrong with the letter, Qingfeng handed it to Bai Wutong.

There were four childish words written on the envelope.

Bai Wutong immediately thought of Stinky writing seriously under the lamp.

She smiled and gestured for Chu Tianbao to come over and read the letter.

“Mother, Stinky misses you very much!” He did not know how to write, so he painted a big black dot and marked it with pinyin.

“Stinky also misses his younger siblings very much. They must be very cute and beautiful!”

“I’m making a blessing bracelet for my younger siblings. I’ll be able to give it to them myself when I see them.” He did not know how to write the word ‘bracelet’, and probably couldn’t remember the pinyin, so he drew a cartoon and it looked especially cute.

“I hope my younger siblings will like me. I’ll be a good brother and help Daddy Tianbao take good care of Mom and my younger siblings.”

“Mother, you must be healthy.”

“From Stinky.” Then he added a row of small words. “If only Mother could write me back.”

Stinky did not know that Chu Tianbao had returned, so he said that he would take care of his younger siblings for him.

Bai Wutong felt very guilty. Because Stinky was under the care of Sheng Huaixuan and the others, and she had spent all her energy on Tuantuan and Yuanyuan for the past few days, she had neglected Stinky’s feelings.

Her nose felt sour as she said to Chu Tianbao, “Go and bring Stinky over tomorrow to see Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, okay?”

“He hasn’t seen you in a long time. He’ll be so happy.”

Stinky was a child he and Bai Wutong had personally protected along the way. Even if he wasn’t their biological son, their relationship had long surpassed that. After hearing this letter, Chu Tianbao didn’t feel good either. He pulled Bai Wutong, who was blaming herself with red eyes, into his arms. “It’s not your fault. It’s all my fault.”

Bai Wutong had just recovered and had many things to do. It was inevitable that she had neglected Stinky. He was the one who had not fulfilled his responsibility as a father.

Stinky was filled with anticipation to receive a reply from Bai Wutong. He did not expect to see Daddy Tianbao, whom he had not seen for a long time.

He stood where he was, a little confused. He suspected that his eyes were playing tricks on him.

He turned around and continued to build the building blocks of the small house. Then, he suddenly turned around. Chu Tianbao was still there!

He ran over in surprise and flew into Chu Tianbao’s arms. “Daddy! Daddy! Daddy…”

Chu Tianbao picked him up and rubbed his chubby face. “Daddy is late.”

Stinky chuckled and said, “Daddy is indeed late. Mother has already given birth to a younger brother and sister.”

Chu Tianbao glanced at Sheng Huaixuan beside him. “Daddy will bring you to see your younger siblings, okay?”

Stinky said in surprise, “Really?” Before Chu Tianbao could reply, he said obediently, “Mother needs to recover. No one can disturb her.”

Chu Tianbao said gently with heartache, “Stinky is not anyone else. Mother also wants to see Stinky.”

Stinky’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Then I also want to see Mother and my younger siblings.”

Chu Tianbao was about to use his qinggong when Stinky said in shock, “The blessing bracelet I made for my younger siblings is not ready yet!”

This was the first time they were going to meet. Without a greeting gift, what if they did not acknowledge him as their brother in the future?

Chu Tianbao comforted him. “Your younger siblings are still young. They’ll be very happy if Stinky can visit them.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

“Daddy is going to bring you high into the sky now. Sit tight!”

“Oh yeah, oh yeah, let’s fly!”
