Chapter 40: The Little Girl's Provocation.
Ning Rongrong was immediately delighted upon hearing this.
"Finally, we can come out and play!"
Ning Rongrong jumped up happily, her long pink hair flying behind her.
"Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, and Dad won't let me go out to play every day. Thank you, Brother Ye!"
She glanced at Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, a smug smile spreading across her face.
The next second, Ning Rongrong pounced on him and tightly hugged Ye Xuanming's arm with both hands.
Standing at just over 1.3 meters tall, he leaned against Ye Xuanming, deliberately tilting his head towards Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling with a defiant look on his face.
"Brother Ye is mine!" Ning Rongrong declared in her childish voice.
Ye Xuanming was stunned.
This young girl may be young, but she's quite cunning.
Dugu Yan instantly bristled: "What are you doing, you pink-haired brat! Let Xuanming go!"
"I won't let go!" Ning Rongrong hugged him even tighter. "Brother Ye isn't yours, why should I let go?"
Ye Lingling was getting anxious, but she was too embarrassed to snatch the person away like Dugu Yan did, so she could only anxiously clutch the hem of her skirt.
Ning Fengzhi broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing this.
My own daughter is too... This is the first time I've met her!
"Rongrong, stop fooling around!" Ning Fengzhi quickly spoke up to stop her. "Let go of Ye Xiaoyou."
"I'm not making a scene!" Ning Rongrong protested. "I just like Brother Ye!"
Qin Ming stood aside watching the show, trying hard to suppress his laughter.
This little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is really...quite unique.
Ye Xuanming looked helplessly at the little girl hanging on his arm and coughed lightly:
"Miss Ning, could you please let me go?"
"No!" Ning Rongrong shook her head in refusal. "Unless they acknowledge that Brother Ye is mine!"
Dugu Yan was so angry she jumped up and down: "You're dreaming! Xuanming is mine!"
"Nonsense! I was the one who hugged Brother Ye first!" Ning Rongrong retorted without backing down.
Ye Lingling couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward, saying softly, "Rongrong, this is wrong of you. Xuanming... he already has us."
"You guys?" Ning Rongrong blinked her big eyes. "What do you mean by 'you guys'?"
Ye Lingling's face instantly turned bright red, and she stammered, unable to speak.
Dugu Yan retorted without any politeness: "Brother Ye is our boyfriend! What do you, a little kid, know!"
"Boyfriend?" Ning Rongrong tilted her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "I want to be Brother Ye's girlfriend too!"
Ye Xuanming almost choked on his own saliva.
What is all this nonsense?!
Ning Fengzhi's face turned green. What would people think if word got out about what his daughter had said?
"Rongrong!" Ning Fengzhi said sternly, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Ning Rongrong pouted. "Brother Ye is so good, why can't I like him?"
Dugu Yan stormed over, reaching out to pry Ning Rongrong's hand away: "You little brat, let go of Xuanming!"
"I won't let go!" Ning Rongrong clung tightly to Ye Xuanming's arm. "You cuckolded, wicked woman!"
"So what if I have green hair! You little pink-haired witch!"
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Ye Xuanming quickly spoke up to stop them:
"Alright, alright, stop arguing."
He looked down at Ning Rongrong: "Rongrong, let me go first, I have something to tell you."
Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment, but finally let go of his hand. However, she still stood beside Ye Xuanming, watching Dugu Yan warily.
Ye Xuanming squatted down to look Ning Rongrong in the eye: "Rongrong, you're still young, you don't understand these things yet."
"I understand!" Ning Rongrong quickly retorted, "I'm seven years old! I understand everything!"
"Then tell me, what does it mean to like?" Ye Xuanming asked.
Ning Rongrong thought for a moment:
"To like someone is... to want to be with that person forever, to protect them, and to prevent others from bullying them!"
Ye Xuanming was somewhat surprised. Although this little girl was willful, her understanding of feelings was quite innocent.
"So do you know what you should do if you really like someone?"
Ning Rongrong shook her head.
"We should make that person happy, not cause them trouble."
Ye Xuanming said gently,
"What you just did made Sister Yanzi and Sister Lingling unhappy, and it also put me in a difficult position."
Ning Rongrong lowered her head and whispered, "I... I just want Brother Ye to notice me."
"You don't need to do that, I'll keep an eye on you." Ye Xuanming reached out and patted her head. "We're friends now, right?"
Ning Rongrong looked up and asked expectantly, "Will Brother Ye protect me?"
"Of course." Ye Xuanming nodded. "Friends should protect each other."
Ning Rongrong then smiled happily: "Alright then, I won't compete with them for Brother Ye for now."
Dugu Yan rolled her eyes: "What do you mean 'temporary'!"
Ye Lingling breathed a sigh of relief, finally resolving this little trouble.
Ning Fengzhi was secretly relieved to see that her daughter had calmed down.
If word gets out about what just happened, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will lose all face.
"Since Rongrong is going to stay at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, then the accommodation issue…" Ning Fengzhi asked.
Qin Ming immediately replied, "I'll arrange the dormitory."
Ning Fengzhi nodded. "Then I'll have to trouble Teacher Qin Ming. If Rongrong gets into any trouble, be sure to contact me. Rongrong, remember to be obedient!"
"Yes, Sect Leader Ning," Qin Ming replied.
"Okay!" Ning Rongrong waved her hand impatiently. "Dad, you can go now. I want to play with Brother Ye and the others!"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head with a wry smile; his daughter's personality was truly a headache.
"Young friend Ye, I'm entrusting Rongrong to you." Ning Fengzhi said solemnly to Ye Xuanming, "If she does anything wrong, please don't hesitate to ask."
"Sect Leader Ning, rest assured, I will take good care of Rongrong," Ye Xuanming assured him.
Ning Fengzhi nodded and turned to leave the VIP room.
After Ning Fengzhi left, the atmosphere in the VIP room instantly became much more relaxed.
Ning Rongrong's little face showed a smug smile as she looked provocatively at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
"Now it's just us left."
Ning Rongrong deliberately moved closer to Ye Xuanming and gently tugged at his sleeve with her small hand.
"Brother Ye, do you think I'm cute?"
Dugu Yan rolled her eyes.
"You little brat, don't think you can do whatever you want just because your dad's gone!"
"I'm not a little kid!"
Ning Rongrong stomped her feet angrily, her pink dress swaying gently with her movements.
"Besides, I just find it fun to steal your things!"
Ye Lingling whispered to her from the side, "Rongrong, this is not good."
"Hmph, I'll do it this way!"
Ning Rongrong raised her chin, looking fearless.
Ye Xuanming looked at the mischievous little girl in front of him and felt a little helpless.
Ning Rongrong doesn't actually like herself; she just wants to have some fun.
