It canāt change anything, and speaking out could cause trouble for those still alive.
Since itās a secret, let it remain an eternal secret!
Gu Yunboās hand, which was about to close the door, suddenly froze. Her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
"What... what did you say? Say that again?"
"This dagger belongs to Meng Fan, itās a Meng family heirloom." After Xu Qigang finished speaking, he gently picked up Sheng Ning and returned to her room, then casually closed the door.
In the living room, only Gu Yunbo was left standing dumbfounded. She stared blankly at the dagger in her hand, tears unwittingly streaming down her face.
"Aunt, youāre back?" The room was softly lit by two small nightlights, and as Xu Qigang entered, he saw Lin En inside in the darkness. The little one stood up, and Xu Qigang immediately turned on the light.
"Lin En? Why arenāt you asleep yet?" Sheng Ning crouched down and caught the little one rushing towards her, "Itās so late, are you still keeping an eye on your little sister?"
The little one gave a shy smile, "I have to watch over my wife."
Xu Qigang was taking off his clothes, and upon hearing this, he immediately felt an urge to give him a good scolding. "You little rascal, how many times have I told you? Donāt have designs on my daughter."
"But I canāt have designs on little brother!" Lin En said innocently, his blue eyes looking pitifully at Xu Qigang, "Father-in-law, please fulfill our wish! I promise when I grow up, I will earn lots and lots of money."
"You..." Even as composed as Xu Qigang normally was, he was startled when he heard the words father-in-law. "What did you call me?"
"Father-in-law," Lin En repeated seriously once again.
Sheng Ning wanted to laugh, but was afraid Xu Qigang would lose face, so she stifled it, holding back her laughter with great effort.
"Who taught you to call me father-in-law?" Xu Qigang threw his coat on the bed, wearing only a vest, revealing his muscular and perfectly-shaped physique.
"It was... Aunt Gu Yunbo." Lin En, confused, said, "Did I call you wrong? Aunt Gu Yunbo said you didnāt like me and didnāt approve of me because I didnāt call you father-in-law."
"I donāt approve of you simply because I find you annoying." Xu Qigang cracked his fingers, causing Lin En to step back three paces in fear.
"You... you stay back, I know kung fu."
"Alright!" Sheng Ning quickly pulled Xu Qigang back, and the man who seemed ready to fight instantly became gentle. "Stop scaring him."
"Iāll let it slide this time." In fact, Xu Qigang was quite satisfied with Lin En. The kid was smart, obedient, and sensible, obviously destined to be a devoted husband in the future.
Hmm! For now, he seems qualified to be Xu Qigangās son-in-law. But as soon as he thought about his precious little daughter being coveted by someone elseās kid, he felt very displeased.
This kidās mind is too clever.
If he doesnāt keep a close watch on his daughter, does he think his precious gem is so easy to marry off?
Humph! A son-in-law needs to be trained from a young age to know how to cherish a wife when he grows up.
"Itās commendable to keep watch over the little sister tonight," Xu Qigang expressed his satisfaction.
Lin En immediately flashed a fawning smile. Hahaha... Aunt Gu Yunbo didnāt lie to him. It turns out that calling uncle father-in-law would make him accept him.
He would be willing to let his little sister marry him as his wife.
Great! He has a wife now too.
