1266 I Want to Make You Stay 144 (1/2)
”Are you tired? I'll tuck you in bed.”
”Daddy, I don't want to sleep at home.”
Long Tianze asked in astonishment, ”Where do you want to sleep, then?”
”I want to sleep together with Yiheng.”
Flabbergasted, Long Tianze said, ”Xiaoxi, you're a big girl now. You can't sleep on the same bed as your Brother Yiheng anymore. The same applies for your brother too.”
Long Xiaoxi insisted, ”No, I'm going to marry Yiheng when I grow up.”
”Baby, I'm very heartened to see how ambitious you are, but boys can't sleep on the same bed as girls. That's not allowed at all!”
Noticing how stern he was getting, Long Xiaoxi said solemnly, ”I sleep next to Yiheng in school every day!”
Shocked out of his senses, Long Tianze chided, ”Xiaoxi, girls shouldn't be so proactive and take the initiative all the time. Will you listen to Daddy?”
”No, no, no, I refuse.”
A sudden saying popped up in his head —”When a girl is grown up, she must be married off.”
But my daughter is only five!
Yet, I already can't keep her by my side?
He instantly felt as if he had to lose his daughter to another man before he could even spend enough time with her. He was filled with an immense misery that words could not explain.
Fortunately, Qingyan lives really close to us. Even if we become in-laws in the future, I won't have to worry about the distance. They won't ill-treat Xiaoxi either.
Long Tianze felt much better after reassuring himself.
”Xiaoxi, tell Daddy, do you really want to marry Yiheng when you grow up?”
”Of course I do. Daddy, are you doubting my words?”
Long Tianze explained, ”I'm not doubting your words. I only asked that because you're so fickle-minded. Whenever Yiheng makes you upset, you'll declare that you won't marry him anymore when you grow up. But you'll say that you want to marry him again after a while.”
”I won't say such things again in the future. Daddy, Yiheng said that he'll definitely marry me when we grow up,” Long Xiaoxi said firmly.
”What if he changes his mind when he grows up?”
”That's why I must make him mine now, so as to prevent him from changing his mind when he grows up. He'll only have eyes for me then. Hehe, Daddy, I came up with his idea after some meticulous brainstorming. What do you think of it?”
On the verge of tears, Long Tianze hugged his precious daughter tightly and said with obvious reluctance, ”Daddy… supports you.”
Long Xiaoxi kissed him delightedly and said, ”I knew you were my biological daddy. You're the best daddy. Daddy, I love you.”
She then let go of Long Tianze and got off from his lap. ”Daddy, I'm tired. I'm going to bed now. Goodnight, Daddy.”
”Goodnight, Baby.”
Long Tianze headed downstairs to see that Mei Yangyang was sitting in front of the dressing table and applying some night cream. Noticing how sulky he seemed, she asked, ”What's wrong?”
He let out a long sigh and said dejectedly, ”Yangyang, Xiaoxi told me just now that she wants to marry Yiheng when she grows up.”
”Hasn't she already said that several times before?” asked Mei Yangyang, who did not find it to be a big deal.
”She said that she's been sleeping next to Yiheng in the boot camp every day. She's going opposite to sleep with him again.”
Mei Yangyang remarked, ”They're still so young. What's wrong with sleeping together on the same bed?”
”She also said that she's going to make Yiheng her person, so as to prevent him from changing his mind in the future.”
