Chapter 925: I Will Take Responsibility
She wanted to help him secretly, without letting him find out.
Suddenly, Lan Ling’s heart softened completely. He really hadn’t expected that a little child like her could think of so much. Although her plan was a bit clumsy and was eventually discovered, all of this was enough to melt his entire heart.
How did he, Lan Ling, deserve to meet such an adorable little girl?
Lan Ling hurried into the room, bent down and picked up Xiao Xue, gently coaxing, "Xiao Xue did nothing wrong, thank you."
Xiao Xue had been feeling very wronged, but upon seeing Lan Ling, her eyes lit up with delight and she exclaimed, "Brother Lianwu, why are you up? Does it still hurt?"
Lan Ling shook his head, "It doesn’t hurt anymore, not at all. Thanks to Xiao Xue’s medicine, it worked great!"
"Really? Brother Lianwu, you’re not lying to me, right?" Xiao Xue stared at Lan Ling, somewhat hesitant to believe.
Lan Ling smiled, "I told you, I wouldn’t lie to you."
Xiao Xue happily nodded her little head, "Okay!"
Han Jing, seeing the situation, roughly understood what was going on, couldn’t help but hold her forehead and said, "Lan Ling, you should all go back first. We need to talk to Xiao Xue."
Lan Ling was about to explain to Han Jing and them, but hearing Han Jing say so, he looked at Han Jing. Han Jing nodded to him, indicating she understood and would handle it well.
Lan Ling put Xiao Xue down, and as he walked over to Su Yu, he said, "I’ll take responsibility."
And then he left.
Lan Ling had a bewildered look on his face, not understanding what was going on, but before leaving, he muttered to Su Yu, "Boss, don’t scold Xiao Xue. She’s still young and doesn’t understand things."
Ning Shiqi, seeing that there was nothing for him to do, also took his leave.
Standing at the door, Lan Ling looked around and decisively ran over to Ning Shiqi’s side to mooch a meal.
Everyone left, but Su Yu’s expression didn’t improve much.
He certainly wasn’t angry with Xiao Xue. As soon as Xiao Xue started speaking, he couldn’t stay mad.
But watching his precious daughter... kissing a man was one thing; doing it so intimately, how could he be comfortable with that?
Han Jing pulled Xiao Xue aside and asked, "Did you give medicine to Lan Ling?"
Xiao Xue nodded.
Han Jing asked again, "How did you give it to him?"
Xiao Xue truthfully explained everything and added, "Aunt Qing You said there was no better way to give medicine than that."
Han Jing burst into laughter. She thought, if it was just about giving medicine, why would Su Yu be so silly angry and bring everyone here? The problem really lay in the method of "giving."
Xiao Xue was utterly confused. Why was it that just by giving some medicine, her father’s face turned dark while her mother was laughing uncontrollably? What was going on?
Han Jing lowered her head, kissed Xiao Xue on the cheek, glanced at her husband, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and said to Xiao Xue, "Sweet Xiao Xue, your Aunt Qing You wasn’t wrong. However, this method is not suitable for children; it’s something you can do when you grow up. As for your father, he’s not mad at you; it’s just that this method isn’t appropriate for children. So Xiao Xue has to wait until you grow up, understand?"
Xiao Xue asked in confusion, "Why do I have to wait until I grow up? I tried it and nothing happened!"
Han Jing said earnestly, "It’s not that you can’t, but it’s not appropriate. Do you understand what inappropriate means, Xiao Xue?"
Slow on the uptake, Xiao Xue nodded. She seemed to understand, but also... not understand.
