Chapter 835: Transfer Chapter 835: Transfer Editor: Atlas Studios Although Little An disdained to run around the residence with Tiger Head and Little Lion, he liked to protect them from behind, so he had good knowledge of great hiding spots.
In comparison, Tiger Head and Little Lion were much more at a loss.
But after discussing with each other, they felt that Little An couldnât have hidden his treasure in a spot where they werenât aware of, considering there was nowhere in the residences that they had not been before.
So, the twins ran around the residence with the servants.
However, they couldnât find Little Anâs treasure even after going through the rockery, flowers, and pavilions in the two residences.
Meanwhile, Little An was already waiting at the side with their toys.
Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, the maidservants persuaded them, âSecond Young Master, Third Young Master, letâs go back to take a shower and eat first.
Weâll continue searching tomorrow.â Little Lion asked Little An, âBrother Little An, where did you hide the things?â Little An shook his head.
âIâll only tell you if you admit defeat.â Tiger Head looked at Little An with teary eyes.
âMy watermelon!â Mu Yangling was afraid that the children would eat too much and hurt their stomachs, so she specially limited each kid to one piece a day.
If Tiger Head lost, there would be no watermelon for him that day.
Seeing Tiger Headâs teary eyes, Little An hesitated for a moment.
Seeing this, Little Lion hit Tiger Head and said, âSecond Brother, we have to keep our word.
Otherwise, we wonât be good kids.â After saying that, he turned to Little An and said, âBrother Little An, we admit defeat.â Though Tiger Head still wanted his watermelon, he didnât want to become a bad child.
Besides, he had to set an example for his younger brother, so he reluctantly agreed to give his piece of watermelon to Little An the next day.
Now that the game had concluded, Little An brought them to his hiding spot.
Tiger Head and Little Lion stood in front of Qi Haoranâs study with their mouths agape.
Little An declared proudly, âMy treasure is hidden here.â Just then, Qi Haoran opened the door and came out.
He raised his eyebrows at the three children and asked, âWhat treasure?â Little An ran to a rock at the bottom of the stairs and pushed the rock away with all his might.
Then, he pulled out a book wrapped in oil paper hidden underneath.
Tiger Head and Little Lion ran up to help and stuck their heads out to look at the book in his hand.
Little An unwrapped the oil paper and said proudly, âMy father gave this to me.
Iâm going to study hard and become the top scholar in the future!â âI want to be a top scholar, too,â Tiger Head and Little Lion shouted.
They both raised their heads to look up at their father who was on the steps, and complained, âDaddy, why didnât you give us books?â âDaddy definitely doesnât want us to be the top scholars.â âArenât we Daddyâs biological sons?â The corners of Qi Haoranâs lips twitched.
He pushed his two good-natured sons away and carried Little An in his arms.
Baring his teeth at them, he said, âIf youâre not my biological sons, whose biological sons are you?
Who taught you to say these things?
Hurry up and go back and wash up.
Look at how dirty you are.â When he turned to look at Little An though, Qi Haoranâs expression softened a lot.
He asked with a smile, âLittle An, do you miss your father?â Little An nodded dejectedly and asked, âFourth Uncle, when can I see Father?â Qi Haoran stroked his head and said with a smile, âSoon.
Your Royal Uncle has issued a decree for us to enter the capital.
Weâll be able to see your father in at most two months.â âReally?â Seeing him nod, Little Anâs eyes lit up.
He hugged Qi Haoranâs neck tightly and whispered into his ear, âThen can I go shopping to buy a gift for Father?â Qi Haoran smiled and beamed at him.
While Tiger Head and Little Lion climbed up Qi Haoranâs legs, they almost caused his pants to fall off.
Qi Haoran could only carry the three children in his arms.
Little An chuckled happily.
âFourth Uncle, youâre really amazing.â Tiger Headâs head was filled with question marks.
âDaddy, why does Brother Little An call you Fourth Uncle?
Then who are Second Uncle and Third Uncle?â Little Lion looked at him disdainfully.
âSecond Brother, why canât you remember?
Daddy is ranked fourth, and Royal Uncle is the eldest.
Second Uncle is Brother Little Anâs father.
As for Third Uncle,â Little Lion choked before declaring decisively, âThird Uncle must be dead.â Qi Haoran was speechless.
âWhat nonsense are you talking about?
Your second and third uncles are both in the capital.â Although he didnât like Qi Shaosheng and Qi Shaotai, they were indeed his brothers.
Qi Haoran carried the three children to the bathroom and got someone to fetch a large basin of water for them to wash up.
As he wiped their bodies with a towel, he said, âIâm ranked fourth, so Little An and the Crown Prince call me âFourth Uncleâ.
Your Uncle Fan is ranked second, so you can call him âSecond Uncleâ or just âUncleâĂąâŹÂŠâ âWhy do we call him âUncleâ?â Tiger Head asked loudly as he splashed water onto his body.
Qi Haoran didnât want to answer at first since this kid couldnât quite remember the things he said.
He had just told him the day before that the Crown Prince was âBrother Little Treasureâ.
But the very next day, this kid asked him why the Crown Prince and Brother Little Treasure hadnât come to see him yet.
However, when he thought about how Mu Yangling had said that children would only remember things after it was repeated to them a few times, he could only explain patiently, âBecause Uncle Fan and I are cousins, you can address him as âUncleâ.
Meanwhile, your second and third uncles are my brothers born from a concubine, and theyâre both in the capital.
When we enter the capital, youâll definitely get to meet them, but there wonât be many such opportunities.
When the time comes, as long as you donât misspeak, itâll be fine.â Seeing that Tiger Head still looked confused, Qi Haoran sighed slightly and turned to Little Lion.
âYour second brother is a little muddle-headed.
You have to take care of him more when we reach the capital, understand?â Little Lion nodded fiercely and said, âDaddy, why donât you let me be the older brother of Tiger Head instead?â Qi Haoran nodded without thinking.
âAlright, youâll be the second in the future, and Tiger Head will be the third.â âNo.â Tiger Head felt that his legitimate interests had been violated.
He stood up, put his hands on his waist, and shouted, âI was born first.â Qi Haoran took the opportunity to wash his butt.
As he washed, he said, âIf you become the younger brother, weâll dote on you more in the future.
If thereâs delicious food, weâll let you have it first.â Tiger Head quickly turned to look at Little Lion.
After seeing the latter nod, he pondered for a moment before nodding.
âYou have to keep your word.
Pinky promise.â The corners of Qi Haoranâs lips twitched.
He really wanted to ask him what he was thinking just now.
Qi Haoran and Little Lion both made a pinky promise to him.
Even Little An, who had been sitting in the corner of the basin and watching, was forced to make a pinky promise.
By the time Qi Haoran finished bathing the three children, he was also covered in water.
After some thought, he got someone to bring water in so that he could wash himself.
When he carried the three children to the dining room, Mu Yangling and Little Madam Xia were already sitting and waiting.
Seeing Qi Haoran enter carrying all three children, the two of them were already used to it.
Qi Haoran placed the three children in their respective seats.
Seeing that Little Bearâs seat was empty, he felt a little empty and said to Mu Yangling, âSend someone to fetch Little Bear back tomorrow morning.
Tell them that his Royal Uncle has sent a letter asking us to enter the capital.â âIt will take us half a month to pack his luggage.
Didnât you agree to let him stay for three days?â Qi Haoran said angrily, âWhatâs so good about staying in such a poor and remote place?
Didnât he hand the management of the Treasure-Bear Academy to the steward of the farmstead?
What can a five or six-year-old child like him gain from being there?
We must bring him back tomorrow.
Seeing as itâs so chaotic outside, what do we do if he encounters baddies?â With the guards of the Princeâs estate following along, who would risk their lives to provoke Little Bear?
Mu Yangling knew that Qi Haoran simply missed his son, and so did she.
But this being the first time Little Bear had taken the initiative to go out, she didnât want to restrict the child too much.
Still, seeing Qi Haoranâs cold expression, Mu Yangling nodded in agreement and comforted him.
âIâll get someone to fetch him back tomorrow.â When she turned around, she saw Little Lion standing on a chair and picking up a drumstick for Tiger Head.
âLittle Brother, eat quickly.â
