“Uncle, Daddy told me to wait for him here.”

Since her tactics had not worked, Xiao Ying retreated into a corner.

This place wouldn’t attract any attention, but she could clearly see the people entering and exiting through the nightclub’s door.

Xiao Ying squatted by the wall and hugged her backpack.

With her chin resting on the little yellow duck backpack’s head, she stared intently at Nightsky’s entrace.

The security guard looked at Xiao Ying.

After all, it was too dangerous for a child to be there at night.

It would be bad if they were kidnapped by human traffickers.

In his heart, he despised Xiao Ying’s father even more.

Xiao Ying was a little tired from waiting, and her little head nodded.

She spoke with the amulet in her mind.

“Can you call me when Cheng Yang comes out?”

“Master, if you’re not looking yourself, I won’t be able to see either.”

The amulet was obviously useless.

Xiao Ying forced herself to look at the door.

Her eyes were bloodshot.

Cheng Yang, whom she had been longing for, finally came out.

Xiao Ying rubbed her blurry eyes, afraid that she was hallucinating.

After confirming that it was Cheng Yang, Xiao Ying perked up.

She hurriedly got up and ran over.

Cheng Yang looked at the little girl hugging his thigh and raised an eyebrow.

If he had not recognized her, she would have been kicked to the ground by him.

Xiao Ying did not realize that she had just escaped a calamity.

He noticed the look in the security guard’s eyes.

Xiao Ying could only call out, “Daddy.”

Cheng Yang’s gaze froze, and then he felt a burst of interest.

This girl was really… confusing.

Interesting!

When the security guard heard the word “Daddy”, he looked at Cheng Yang with a strange expression.

Cheng Yang also noticed the security guard’s gaze and immediately knew that this little girl had said something to the security guard.

He was not in the habit of being looked at like a monkey.

Cheng Yang dragged Xiao Ying over to the car.

He didn’t open the door. Instead, he leaned over and pinched Xiao Ying’s chubby face.

“Why are you here? Also, do you want to explain why you just called me that?”

Xiao Ying struggled to open her mouth in Cheng Yang’s grip. “Calm down! Let me speak.”

Cheng Yang let go of Xiao Ying’s face and said coldly, “Go on then.”

Xiao Ying froze under Cheng Yang’s cold gaze.

This was the first time he had looked at her like that.

The fear in her heart towards him slowly rose.

Xiao Ying swallowed her saliva and secretly used her tongue to poke the inside of her cheek, which was still hurting.

She took a step back uncontrollably.

Cheng Yang watched Xiao Ying’s change and his expression turned colder.

He suddenly lost interest in Xiao Ying.

He opened the car door and was about to get in and leave.

“Master, our source of energy is leaving.”

With the reminder from the amulet, Xiao Ying suddenly recovered from her fear.

She grabbed Cheng Yang’s arm.

“Brother, don’t leave me behind.”

Cheng Yang paused and sat in the driver’s seat. He said in a weird tone, “Are you so afraid that I’ll still follow you?”

It turned out that everything had been seen by the other party. Xiao Ying’s expression turned unnatural for a moment.

“Brother, I’m lost again.”

Xiao Ying, who was still in a daze, wanted to slap herself as soon as she finished speaking.

But now that she had said it, she could only brace herself and continue acting.

“Why aren’t you calling me Daddy anymore?”

Xiao Ying’s expression stiffened again, but she was relieved to see the faint smile on Cheng Yang’s lips.

Without waiting for Cheng Yang to speak, she climbed onto his lap.

She clambered over him and sat in the passenger seat obediently. She even put on her seatbelt.

“Let’s go, brother.”

Cheng Yang looked at Xiao Ying speechlessly.

“I’ll call the Xiao family and get them to pick you up.”

Cheng Yang took out his phone as he spoke.

Xiao Ying snatched it from him and did not wait for Cheng Yang to reprimand her.

Her eyes were filled with tears.

Her teary expression successfully stopped Cheng Yang from speaking.

He knew that this girl had many tricks up her sleeve, but her looks were really deceiving.

Unfortunately, he was sitting opposite her.

Cheng Yang, who was completely unmoved, asked Xiao Ying solemnly:

“What do you want to do?”
