Seeing Wen Xiao’ai’s smiling face in that moment, Jun Moyan felt an indescribable sense of happiness.
It turned out that cheering Xiaoguai up made him even happier than her.
He didn’t know when he had started to see taking care of her as a responsibility, treating spoiling her, indulging her, coaxing her, and looking after her as a matter of course.
He felt that all this was what he ought to do.
He even found her temper tantrums to be a kind of joy in life.
Lifting his hand, he gently touched her little head and asked softly, "Not angry anymore?"
Originally, if Jun Moyan hadn’t asked that, Wen Xiao’ai might have let go of her annoyance because of the lollipop alone, as if she had never been angry.
But his question made Wen Xiao’ai feel that forgiving him for a lollipop and a bottle of milk was too spineless, wasn’t it?
She was, after all, the esteemed little princess of the Cat Demon Clan. Wouldn’t it be too embarrassing to let others know?
The more Wen Xiao’ai thought, the more she felt it wasn’t worth it.
She humphed, ignoring him as she was clearly still upset, yet the lollipop remained clenched in her hand.
"Think a lollipop will make me stop being mad? Don’t even..." Wen Xiao’ai was saying when she saw Jun Moyan take out another lollipop.
"This... two, let me think..." Wen Xiao’ai stared intently at the lollipop in his hand, swallowing her saliva involuntarily.
Jun Moyan was amused by her eager look and tapped her little head lightly with the lollipop.
Wen Xiao’ai happily snatched the lollipops and, holding the two in her hand, felt indescribably delighted.
To eat even more candy, Wen Xiao’ai declared, "Two this time, but next time two won’t be enough."
"It’s not that I won’t let you eat, I’m worried about you getting cavities."
"Not afraid, if they get bad I can just get them fixed."
Wen Xiao’ai, saying this, unwrapped one and licked it tentatively.
Another one remained, to bring back to Brother Ye Qi.
From now on, she would save half of the candy Jun Moyan gave her for Brother Ye Qi.
"Eating too much candy will cause cavities, do you know what cavities are?"
"Cavities mean that bugs will grow in your teeth, and they’ll slowly eat your teeth away, which will turn black and eventually fall out."
The more Wen Xiao’ai listened, the tighter her little brows furrowed, and her complexion turned sour; the candy in her mouth began to taste funny, and her scalp tingled.
Wen Xiao’ai took the candy from her mouth and placed it in her hand, then slapped Jun Moyan’s mouth and said somewhat frantically, "Don’t scare me."
"What I said is true." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs noᴠelfire.net
"It’s not, you’re just trying to scare me so you won’t have to give me candy. Without candy, let’s see what you’ll use to coax me in the future," Wen Xiao’ai glared at him indignantly.
Seeing Wen Xiao’ai upset, Jun Moyan wondered whether he had made an educational misstep?
Normally, he could just make sure she didn’t eat too many sweets.
Lollipops seemed to be her favorite treat; by saying these things, wasn’t he just making her unhappy?
"Say, did you scare me on purpose? Eating candy doesn’t really make bugs grow on teeth, right?"
Jun Moyan opened his mouth, but in the end, he nodded and agreed, "...Mhm."
"No scaring me with lollipops in the future," Wen Xiao’ai said, licking the lollipop a couple times to console her little heart that had just been frightened.
"No good, you scared me, and I’m unhappy." Wen Xiao’ai thought she should seize the opportunity to get something out of him.
Jun Moyan lightly scraped her little nose, said affectionately, "What do you want?"
After a moment’s thought, he added, "And no more asking for candy."
