Chapter 273: Nuonuo Had a Dream

Only then did Ling Hanyu look at his daughter lying in his arms. At that moment, Nuonuo felt a bit wronged, but she still didn’t want to admit her mistake.

She just clung tightly to Ling Hanyu without saying a word.

“Nuonuo, tell Daddy—was it just a dream?”

Ling Nuonuo hugged Ling Hanyu even tighter, refusing to speak. Her little head rested against Ling Hanyu’s face, her forehead covered in sweat as she kept rubbing it back and forth.

Ling Hanyu carried his daughter upstairs.

“Was it a dream?”

“Daddy… that uncle took Mommy away, and Daddy chased after us. A car hit Daddy, and there was blood everywhere…”

After finishing her story, Ling Nuonuo burst into tears.

Ling Hanyu understood why his daughter was acting like this, so he quickly picked her up and comforted her.

Song Qingtian came out of the bedroom, worried about her daughter. Just moments ago, the little girl had stopped crying, but now she was crying again.

“What’s wrong?”

Song Qingtian reached out to take her daughter, but Ling Hanyu shushed her and walked around her, heading straight for the doorway.

Song Qingtian turned around and followed Ling Hanyu into the bedroom.

Ling Hanyu said, “Bring Nuonuo’s pajamas.”

Song Qingtian went to get the pajamas as Ling Hanyu instructed, and Ling Hanyu carried his daughter into the bathroom. She sat in the bathtub for a while and soon felt much better.

When Song Qingtian entered the room to check on her daughter, Ling Nuonuo was playing with the water.

Ling Hanyu squatted down to watch his daughter. He’d been squatting for quite some time, his legs already numb by now.

Song Qingtian stood by the doorway, watching the father and daughter.

No matter how well—or poorly—Ling Hanyu treated the original female supporting character, whether he was a good husband or not, one thing was certain: he was definitely a good father.

Once Ling Nuonuo had played enough and wanted to come out, she kicked her legs like a little swimming fish, swimming over to Ling Hanyu and wrapping her arms around him.

Ling Hanyu picked up his daughter and wrapped her in a bath towel.

Holding his daughter, Ling Hanyu carried her over to the leather bed nearby.

The bed was already covered with an extra-large bath towel, neatly dried off, and Ling Hanyu laid his daughter down on it.

Ling Nuonuo hadn’t yet developed any sense of shyness around Ling Hanyu; to her, he was simply the person closest to her.

She lay on her back, playing with her little hands.

Ling Hanyu wrapped her in the towel and lifted her up.

She loved pink, so everything Ling Hanyu had prepared for her was pink.

After wrapping her in the towel, Ling Hanyu picked her up, wrapped the towel around her body, and put on her favorite bunny hat.

Then he helped her sit down, wiped her little feet clean, and dressed her in pretty little shoes.

Meanwhile, Ling Hanyu, completely soaked from head to toe, led his daughter by the hand to the bathroom doorway and handed Ling Nuonuo over to Song Qingtian.

“Take Nuonuo to bed!”

Song Qingtian turned around and took her daughter away.

Ling Nuonuo followed Song Qingtian out the door.

Song Qingtian changed her into pajamas, and Ling Nuonuo stared intently at the bathroom door, waiting for Ling Hanyu to come out.

Song Qingtian was deeply moved—this was the kind of bond that runs deeper than blood.

Even such a young child already cherished Ling Hanyu; what about her?

When would she ever get to see her own father again?

Would she ever be able to return to this place?

Song Qingtian sat on the bed in a daze, while Ling Hanyu emerged from the bathroom.

Upon seeing Ling Hanyu, Song Qingtian was momentarily taken aback.

“How come you came out without a bathrobe?”

Ling Hanyu was shirtless, wrapped only in a bath towel, and walked out without a care in the world.

After all, their daughter was still there!

Ling Hanyu was also taken aback and pointed toward the bathroom: “I couldn’t find a bathrobe.”

“Wow… Daddy, you’re so handsome!”

Ling Nuonuo exclaimed admiringly, jumping to her feet.

Song Qingtian’s face darkened—how could such a young child behave like this?

“Little girl, how can you say something like that?”

She immediately shot Ling Hanyu a stern look: “Did you hear that?”

Ling Hanyu couldn’t argue; he turned around and went back into the bathroom, rummaging through everything for half a day before finally finding a bathrobe and daring to come out.

Meanwhile, Song Qingtian was outside, teaching her daughter: “Little girls should keep their words polite and avoid looking at things that are indecent.”

Ling Nuonuo wore an innocent expression, clearly not understanding what her mom was talking about.

“Mommy, what does ‘avoid looking at indecent things’ mean?”

“It means you shouldn’t talk about or look at anything impolite or against proper etiquette.”

“So if Daddy isn’t wearing clothes, we shouldn’t look at him or talk about him either?”

“Of course! Daddy is a man, and the way he looks when he’s not dressed is not something people should casually see. You’re still little and don’t understand yet—this is just like when you see someone else completely naked. It’s the same principle.”

“But when I’m naked, Daddy still looks at me, doesn’t he?”

“That’s different. Daddy is Nuonuo’s daddy, and since she was born, he’s always taken care of her, so of course he gets to look. Right now, Nuonuo is still little, so Daddy can look—but we still need to follow proper etiquette. Once Nuonuo grows up a bit, Daddy won’t be allowed to look anymore!”

Hearing this, Ling Nuonuo became upset: “I don’t want that! I want Daddy to look at me, please!”

Suddenly, Ling Nuonuo burst into tears.

Song Qingtian was startled.

And when Ling Hanyu heard his daughter crying, he hurried out in a panic!
