Qin Xiaoxiao was shocked by the familiar name of Xiaoxiao. After coming back to his senses, he said apologetically: "Master Qin, to be honest, I don't believe in Buddhism. I'm afraid I will let down Mrs. Qin's good intentions."

She really does not believe in Buddhism, but believes in God who can make her wishes come true.

Qin Huai seemed to expect that she would say this, but did not force it: "I took it for granted. It is really inappropriate to ask for your birth date without consulting you."

Qin Xiaoxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say goodbye again when he suddenly heard Qin Huai ask: "Xiaoxiao, um, is this what your parents call you? Can I call you that in the future?"

There was a hint of caution in his tone, which was completely inconsistent with his title of "Jade Faced King of Hell".

Qin Xiaoxiao had to suspect that he didn't really want her birth date just now, but was just laying the groundwork for the title so that it would be difficult for her to refuse this not-too-excessive request.

What annoyed her the most was that he mentioned her parents with just an ordinary title. If it was someone who liked to take advantage of words, she would never think twice about it, but Qin Huai was not the one.

Suppressing the annoyance that was about to explode, Qin Xiaoxiao's attitude remained respectful: "Master Qin, do as you like."

Qin Huai was satisfied and climbed up the pole: "The title 'Master Qin' is too alienating. How about calling me 'Uncle Qin' with a smile?"

Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to reply that she didn't like the Qin Mansion, she didn't like the people in the Qin Mansion, and she didn't want to have anything to do with the Qin Mansion. But she was no longer a child who didn't know the world, so such thoughts could only be buried in the

heart.

Meeting Qin Huai's expectant gaze, she responded with a false smile: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate. You and my third uncle have a master-disciple relationship. If I call you 'Uncle Qin', it will mess up the seniority. My parents will definitely meet if they find out."

Scold me for being ignorant."

The smile on Qin Huai's face faded a bit. Under Qin Xiaoxiao's surprised gaze, he reached out and rubbed her head: "You!"

These two short words are full of helplessness, just like an old father facing his disobedient child and not knowing how to teach him.

Qin Xiaoxiao froze and forgot to avoid the big hand above his head.

Seeing this scene in the eyes of an uninformed person, no one would doubt that these two very similar faces were a father and daughter, nor would they misunderstand the love in Qin Huai's eyes.

Until Qin Huai left the waterside pavilion for a long time, Qin Xiaoxiao seemed to still be able to feel the remaining warmth on her scalp. She shook her head hard to get rid of the weird feeling, grabbed a lot of bait left and threw it into the water.

The koi carps that were swimming and playing not far away swarmed up and quickly devoured all the bait, causing ripples on the water and completely disrupting the tranquility of the area.

In the flower room, Li Yingran and Yunshi chatted very enthusiastically, and it was almost noon when the two came out.

Declining the Yun family's kindness to stay for dinner, Li Yingran took Qin Xiaoxiao and left the Qin Mansion, so that she could return to the Qin family to have dinner with Mr. Qin and Mrs. Miao before dinner time.

Mrs. Yun watched the carriage leave and was about to turn around to go back home when she accidentally caught a glimpse of a man coming on horseback. Seeing that this man was a valet who was highly valued by her husband, she stopped and asked with concern: "Why are you back so soon?"

Are you ready? Are things at home settled?"

The attendant cupped his hands and replied respectfully: "Mrs. Lao is thinking about me. Everything is fine at home, so I came back early."

Yun nodded and said with a smile: "Come in quickly, I will be thinking about you during your absence these two days."
