The atmosphere suddenly grew tense and a bit anxious.
Rong Fan paused for a moment at those words, then cautiously asked, “Who do you want me to be?”
Xiao Yun beamed and answered cheerfully, “Of course, my daddy!!”
Rong Fan pinched his palm. “What if I’m not…”
The moment he said that, the smile on the little girl’s face vanished. She spoke expressionlessly, “Then I’ll kill you.”
As she spoke, the scissors were already pressing against Rong Fan’s thigh, pushing in little by little. For a five- or six-year-old girl, her strength was unexpectedly overwhelming.
She stared at Rong Fan and asked again, “So, who are you?”
It seemed like the only correct answer was to admit he was her daddy.
But what if… this was a trap?
Xiao Yun’s face didn’t show a trace of emotion. She spoke coldly, “You talk too much.”
She tilted her head slightly. “So, you’re definitely not my daddy.”
Saying that, she moved to stab the scissors hard.
Rong Fan quickly spoke up, “Wait!!”
Xiao Yun paused. “What do you want to say?”
The scissors had already torn through his clothes, the cold blade pressing against his skin. Yet Rong Fan’s tone remained eerily calm.
“I may not know your daddy, but I know information about him. How about we make a deal? I’ll tell you about your daddy, and you don’t kill me.”
Xiao Yun blinked a few times, but didn’t press further. She seemed to be genuinely thinking.
Rong Fan exhaled slightly in relief. Thankfully, he no longer needed to maintain his persona in front of Xiao Yun. The only thing he needed now was to keep the little girl calm.
He softened his tone. “Doesn’t Xiao Yun want to find her daddy? If you’re worried I might be lying, you can always kill me later. It’s not like waiting a bit longer will make a difference, right?”
After a brief pause, Xiao Yun thought it over. “Alright, that makes sense.”
She let go of him, then suddenly looked toward Bo Jingmo. After a few seconds of silence, she tilted her head.
The scene instantly fell into silence again.
Xiao Yun seemed to have lost her memory. Imitating what she just did, she pitter-pattered over to Bo Jingmo, grabbed his pants leg, and looked up with a pure expression. “Are you my daddy?”
She held the scissors up to Bo Jingmo’s leg, smiling brightly as she asked, “Are you my daddy?”
【Kid, why are you asking every person you see.】
【She actually asked Bo Jingmo? Oh boy, this is gonna be good.】
【Rong Fan really does have experience, huh? Dodged that with a clever trick. Those scissors almost went through him.】
【Not gonna lie, Bo Jingmo’s kick outside earlier was kind of cool… really clean and efficient.】
【Tch, what’s so great about that? It was just violence, plain and simple.】
【You can’t say that. What if they hesitated longer and Mu Chengsi died? I think this worked out fine.】
【Anyone else notice? Outside, I kept feeling like Bo Jingmo was looking somewhere else.】
【Huh? Really? I didn’t notice that.】
【Seemed like it. Maybe he was on alert for something.】
【So what’s Bo Jingmo going to say? He’s not gonna copy Rong Fan, is he? That’d be lame.】
【Let him copy. He’s a newbie player—what else are you expecting? Surviving’s already a win.】
【What happens if he admits to being the daddy?】
【My wild guess? Still a dead end. Didn’t you see Mu Chengsi’s state? Even the mom can’t protect herself, let alone the dad. Finding the dad is basically a death sentence.】
【Scary, scary. Say yes, die. Say no, still die.】
【In this situation, might as well say yes and see what happens. We already know saying no is death. Might as well gamble on the other option—maybe it’ll work.】
But while all the viewers were holding their breath, Bo Jingmo simply lowered his eyes to glance at the little girl at his feet and asked calmly:
“I’m not your daddy.”
Sure enough, the little girl immediately exploded. Her eyes turned blood-red, and she raised the scissors with a sharp scream: “You’re not my daddy!! Then you can die!!”
Even Rong Fan was stunned by Bo Jingmo’s boldness. As the little girl lunged, his eyes flashed slightly, but he stayed still.
【It’s over, it’s over, he’s gonna die!】
【This is what you call ‘know there’s a tiger on the mountain and still climb it’—basically asking to die.】
【Alright, Rong Fan’s gotta be laughing to death. His love rival’s about to die. Now he can finally move up the ranks.】
【Hey! Rong Fan! I saw you stop walking, you sneaky little—heeheeheehee~】
【The next scene’s gonna be too bloody for me to watch… just kidding! I’m dying to see it!】
Everyone thought Bo Jingmo was done for. But the man simply reached out and effortlessly grabbed Xiao Yun’s wrist. His deep black eyes quietly watched the little girl at his feet, and his tone didn’t even change.
“I’m already married. If I become your daddy, my wife will be mad.”
Xiao Yun scrunched her nose.
What’s that got to do with me?
Noticing her hesitation, Bo Jingmo let go of her hand, lifted his eyes to glance sideways at Rong Fan, and suddenly curled his lips.
Rong Fan’s expression froze. A bad feeling surged in his chest.
Sure enough, he heard Bo Jingmo add:
“But Uncle Rong Fan isn’t married. He can be your daddy.”
Bo Jingmo, you b*stard!
Xiao Yun looked confused. “You can change daddies?”
Bo Jingmo replied, calm as ever, “You can—as long as he’s not married, he can be your daddy.”
【66666666 didn’t see that one coming.】
【I’m dying HAHAHAHAHA look at Rong Fan’s face! He’s fuming!】
【Honestly though, that move really wore down Xiao Yun’s anger.】
【This Bo Jingmo guy is something else… even I’m shocked. How’s he so good at fooling an NPC with a straight face?】
【Kind of feels like déjà vu… Is this what they call couple vibes?】
Xiao Yun looked at Bo Jingmo, then at Rong Fan.
Finally, she turned to her family and asked:
“Mommy, can daddies be replaced? Xiao Zhi, do you want to change daddies?”
Mu Chengsi didn’t dare say a word. She just pretended to be thinking and gave no answer.
And who knew when Xiao Zhi had stopped brushing her hair. She blinked, her gaze flicking between Rong Fan and Bo Jingmo.
Then she puffed up her cheeks and grumbled, “I don’t want Uncle Rong Fan.”
She pointed at Bo Jingmo and said clearly, “I want him to be daddy. He’s better looking!”
【Rong Fan’s face totally turned green. I’m crying.】
【Sorry Rong Fan, it’s just too funny. You gotta take it as kids being kids, haha!】
【Our handsome Rong Fan’s confidence just took a massive hit.】
【It’s okay! It’s okay! Rong Fan! Don’t take it too hard! So what if the goddess picked the hotter guy! No big deal!】
【Pretty sure the person above came just to rub it in LOL.】
Just as the situation was reaching a stalemate, a woman’s gentle voice suddenly came from the doorway.
“You can’t. He’s mine.”
