Chapter 245 Xia Rong Suffers from Lovesickness

Father, I know you said that to comfort me. Once I calm down, you'll take Blackie and leave me again, right? In the end, I'm not even as good as that black cat lying in your arms.

As Xia Rong said this, she lowered her head and tapped the floor with her feet intermittently.

You silly child, I've noticed that you've been depressed ever since you came back from Longsheng Street that day. What could be the reason for this?

Father, will you stop loving my mother because my maternal grandfather did something that was detrimental to you?

Why did you suddenly ask me this question, child? Did that brat Mu Long say something that hurt you?

Haha! Mu Long treats me like a treasure in his palm, wishing he could keep me by his side all the time, so how could he bear to say anything that would hurt me?

But Xia Rong, don't you feel like you've been feeling really down lately? Besides, I heard from Tao Zi that you haven't been sleeping well lately.

Peach has been by my side for many years! She always likes to magnify the smallest things. How could a lively and cheerful girl like me possibly be depressed?

But daughter, why are you sitting alone on the swing, lost in thought? Daddy knows that whenever you're feeling down, you either hold Taki and sit alone, lost in thought.

She'll even sit on that swing I built for you and swing on it endlessly. So, Rong'er, can you tell Daddy what's been happening lately?

I don't think you've been taking your favorite kitten to see Mu Long lately!

Oh, right! Did you know that kid actually makes your favorite candied hawthorns by hand? And as far as I know, he even planted more than a dozen hawthorn trees on the hill behind his house because of it.

These very small things show just how much he loves you! If you really marry him, your father will die without regrets!

Haha! Father, your men are so good at gathering information! Didn't they tell you that Mu Long cut down all those dozen or so hawthorn trees for some unknown reason?

Rong'er, do you really want to eat sweet and sour candied hawthorns? How about this? Father will order someone to buy a mountain and plant hawthorn trees all over it for you, okay?

Xia Rong was not happy after hearing the questions her father asked, but instead fell into a beautiful memory of herself and Mu Long once again.

Hey! Young Master Mu Long, do you know what day it is in six days? Have you prepared a gift for me in advance like you always have?

Hey! Isn't the special gift I prepared for you already lying in your arms? Little Hibiscus has been trained to be very well-behaved lately! I reckon you can sleep with it tonight!

Xia Rong's eyes lit up when she heard Mu Long say this, and she kept stroking the little hibiscus that was lying on Mu Long's shoulder with both hands.

I saw that the little guy was just squinting his eyes and enjoying my petting, instead of raising his little head and breathing on it whenever I touched him, unlike before.

Xia Rong was overjoyed and gently clapped her hands in front of Xiao Furong.

Come here! Little one, shall I carry you to the swing? Let me tell you! My little swing is so much fun.

Little Hibiscus didn't extend her two chubby little hands towards Xia Rong. Instead, she squinted her little eyes, chuckled, and then rubbed her fluffy little head against Mu Long's neck.

Mu Long gently patted Xiao Furong and said affectionately, "What's wrong? The little kitten just woke up, why does it want to sleep again?"

Okay, okay! Little one, can you stop rubbing your head against me like that?

Mu Long! Stop showing off how clingy your little kitten is in front of me, okay?

After saying that, Xia Rong picked up the kitten, Taki, who was lying on the recliner, and held it in her arms. She looked down at the little kitten clinging to her, seemingly lost in thought.

A short while later, a very cute little kitten appeared in his arms. And this little kitten seemed to have been trained, no longer as averse to staying on him as before.

Instead, it happily climbed onto Xia Rong's shoulder and rubbed its fluffy little head against Xia Rong's face.

Haha! How come you've become just like your dad, trying to please me now, you adorable little guy?

Little guy, didn't you always look fierce when you saw me before?

So, how was it? Are you satisfied with the birthday gift I gave you? Let me tell you, I went to great lengths to get this adorable little kitten to stick with you.

But this also proves one thing: I really love the little one! Otherwise, the little one wouldn't be so attached to me, right?

Haha! Yang Mulong, I'm really speechless! The reason the little guy is so clingy to me now is because our little Furong is incredibly smart.

Knowing that I truly love it, it sticks to me! And aren't Little Hibiscus and Takitaki, these two adorable kittens, our token of love?

How did this become another birthday gift from you, Yang Mulong? Don't you think you're paying less and less attention to me these days?

Haha! My dear Rong'er, what are you saying? Don't you know that you will always be number one in my heart, Young Master Mu Long?

So I've always kept your birthday gift in my heart.

After hearing what Mu Long said, Xia Rong walked over to Mu Long and gently tugged at his ear with her small hand.

Young Master Mu Long, I've noticed that you're becoming more and more like one of my mischievous older brothers. All he does is bully me all day long.

Hmph! I'd completely forgotten about this if you hadn't told me. When I was three, my mother brought home a crybaby. She would cry endlessly if we did anything that didn't go her way.

"Awooooo!" Xia Rong cried out three times before crouching down, clutching her head. A sweet memory instantly flashed through her mind.

Mother, I've noticed you're becoming increasingly biased! I'm even starting to doubt whether I, Mu Long, am really your biological son!

What's wrong? Yang Mulong, I don't think your mother has hit you recently, has she? Why are you asking your mother this strange question again?

Mother, please don't want to hit me every time I ask you this question, okay? I just feel that you always give the best food and fun things to my eldest brother and that crybaby.
