Chapter 1799 - 1735: Stab Him Twice

She could tell that both the Old Master and Jiang Yingqiong really hoped he would stay.

Having roasted duck with her wasn’t something immensely important, was it?

"Dad, you’re going to acknowledge them, right?"

Chiang Xiao stated it as a fact.

Ah Liu nodded, "Little, the Old Master and Sister truly treat me as family. I can’t not acknowledge them."

"Hmm, that’s how it should be." Chiang Xiao nodded.

She hadn’t expected that he remembered everything, but isn’t that a good thing?

He would eventually remember everyone and everything.

"However," Ah Liu’s tone shifted gently, looking at Chiang Xiao, he said, "Back then, I spent at least a dozen years with them, but not with you. Little, I owe you seventeen years of companionship, and if you count the year you were in your mother’s womb, it would be eighteen years."

Chiang Xiao stared at him blankly.

Ah Liu continued, "So, from now on, my time and attention will mostly be yours. You’re my treasure. To me, you’re the most important."

All hers...

Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but get up and walk over, hugging him from behind and resting her head on his shoulder, "Dad, you’re so good."

She really hadn’t expected him to think and say that!

She thought that after he remembered his Jiang family relatives, they would occupy most of his time and attention.

But Ah Liu said that it’s mainly her, that she’s the most important, she is his treasure!

Meng Xinian opened the door and saw this scene.

He slightly curled his lips.

Alright, he has truly accepted this father-in-law. In the future, he will honor him with Chiang Xiaoxiao.

"Aren’t you ashamed, acting all cute with Uncle Six at your age?"

Hearing Meng Xinian’s voice, Chiang Xiao stood up and made a face at him, "How old am I, huh? I’m not even eighteen yet; I’m still a child! You don’t understand a child’s world!"

Ah Liu calmly followed up, "Yeah, Little is still a child, unlike someone who’s already twenty-four, almost twenty-five. That’s a full seven years older than our little one. Seven years, that’s quite an age difference, isn’t it?"

Meng Xinian: "..."

He just said one sentence, who did he offend?

Why mention his age again?

Seven years older is still fine, right?

Meng Xinian’s face darkened.

Can he take back what he just said about honoring him well?

This father-in-law can really be a handful sometimes.

Just then, Chiang Xiao noticed the candied hawthorn in his hand and immediately ran over to Meng Xinian.

"Brother Xinian, how did you know I wanted to eat candied hawthorn?"

Earlier on the way, she saw the Big Master selling candied hawthorn, but since they were already on their way to eat, and the Big Master had walked a bit far, she dismissed the thought.

She hadn’t expected Meng Xinian to go out and buy it.

He must have used his super-fast legs to catch up with the Big Master!

"Because you’re a child, and all children like this kind of thing, right?" Despite getting jabbed twice earlier, Meng Xinian couldn’t help but hand the candied hawthorn over when he saw the sparkle in her eyes, not even teasing her.

Chiang Xiao’s eyes happily curved as she took a bite of the candied hawthorn. The outer sugar coating was crisp and sweet, wrapping around the sour hawthorn, dispelling all her discomfort.

"Just try two first, don’t let your teeth turn sour, we’ll eat soon," Meng Xinian reached out to ruffle her hair affectionately.
