The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Are you really my biological father or not? I've come to beg you like this, yet you're still unmoved. Even a heart of stone should melt by now."

"In this situation, you can consider me not your biological father. You'd better give up on this idea. Anyway, I won't let you go to the North Island. Whatever tricks you have in mind, don't use them on me; they're useless."

Rao Linger was born to the old master. She just moved slightly, and he knew what she wanted to do. This is why she didn't want to hide her intention to find Tang Rao.

Since it couldn't be hidden, it's better to be honest and hope for leniency.

"Dad, my mom passed away early, and I've been close to you since childhood. If you don't let me go out to see the world, how will I know what it's like outside, and how will I bring you a son-in-law sooner?"

"Son-in-law? You mean Tang Rao?"

The old master did want Tang Rao to become the son-in-law of the Rao Family, but that guy was destined for greatness. His vision and knowledge have long exceeded that of Rao Linger's, even surpassing the old master. Not to mention how many people competed to like such a charming man, just the vast gap between Rao Linger and Tang Rao, how could it be bridged?

Rely on Rao Linger's naivety? Don't be silly, naivety can't earn a living in this world.

"There are so many young talents on the Central Island. If you're serious about choosing, you'd be dazzled. Why do you insist on serving a man with those women?"

Don't say that Tang Rao lacks women around him; just from the investigations by the old master, there were already several. He had gone through all stages of marrying and having children. For someone like Rao Linger with her status, it's plain down-to-earth to marry beneath her. She's wealthier and more powerful than Tang Rao, so why insist on him?

"More women around him prove he's charming. I don't mind at all. Dad, are those sweet donuts Tang Rao gave you delicious? I'm telling you, if you don't let me out, once they're gone, they're really gone. But I guarantee, if you don't let me go this time, you won't get another donut."

The soup originally intended to please the old master was finished by Rao Linger in one gulp. She smacked her lips, genuinely feeling that the taste was superb.

"You're using donuts to threaten me?"

The old master never felt afraid of threats of anything else, but the donuts from Tang Rao, once they're gone, they're truly gone.

Thinking of this, his thoughts wavered.

"Dear dad, is it because your daughter isn't pretty enough or some other reason that you insist I don't match Tang Rao? Then there's nothing I can do."

This was Rao Linger's trump card. If he still didn't agree for her to see Tang Rao, she would truly do anything.

"If I agree to let you go, can you really bring me a continuous supply of donuts?"

The old master's primary concern was this sentence. Without his nod, others remained cautious, while Rao Linger nodded earnestly twice, respectfully bowing twice as she thanked him, "You are my father, so naturally, I'll promise to get you donuts."

As long as Tang Rao has it, she would figure out how to get it. Everything was ready except for the final step; once the old master made a decision, Rao Linger wouldn't have to worry so much.

"Once you're sent through the Transmission Array, remember these when you reach the North Island: don't cause trouble for Tang Rao, don't anger him, don't interrupt him. If he doesn't want you around, you must disappear from his sight immediately. If you fail in any of these, I will immediately bring you back. Do you believe it?"

Anyone else might not know Rao Linger well, but her biological father certainly did. His words came as a preventive measure, saving him trouble later if he had to bring her back without her understanding her own mistakes.

"I believe, I believe! Anything my dad says, I believe completely. If possible, we can go to the Transmission Array now. I'm unfamiliar with this place, and the sooner I get to the North Island to find Tang Rao, the sooner I can settle down, and you'll feel relieved sooner too."

This wasn't about getting familiar with the territory; she just wanted to see Tang Rao, the man of her dreams, as soon as possible.

"Achoo, achoo!"

Tang Rao sneezed twice in succession. Someone as robust as he seemed, when illness struck, it overwhelmed him before he could react.

He wondered if he had some lingering ailment or if someone was thinking of him, speaking ill of him behind his back.

"Tang Rao, have some ginger tea. You're carrying a chill. See, you're sneezing repeatedly; without treatment, it'll only worsen."

Sheng Xuan brought him a cup of ginger tea, brewed with love, presented with fullness of the heart in every sip.

"It's fine, I've already asked Jin Jin to prepare a herbal bath for me. Soaking will make me feel all better, no worries."

Tang Rao waved it off nonchalantly.

He knew his body better than anyone. It wasn't as serious as Sheng Xuan made it out to be.

"Alright, but in the meantime, since Xiaoxiao's not feeling well and Jin Jin's already tending to her, if you have time, you could drop by to check on her."

Tang Rao had come back to find Sheng Xuan directly, to see their son.

Upon hearing that You Xiaoxiao was ill, and Wen Jinjin was attending to her, for some reason, his heart skipped a beat; it felt as if something significant was going to happen.

"I don't feel at ease. Since you mentioned it, I'll go have a look."

Tang Rao went to You Xiaoxiao's boudoir, finding Wen Jinjin tidying up her Silver Needle tools. With a set of silver needles, You Xiaoxiao's nausea was somewhat relieved.

"What's going on? Xiaoxiao, are you sick?"

Tang Rao strode in, seeing You Xiaoxiao lying in bed, pale. He couldn't help but feel concerned.

"Congratulations, my lord, on the joyous addition to the family!"

Wen Jinjin exclaimed with delight.

She was a skilled physician, able to determine what's wrong with a patient by taking their pulse and asking a few basic questions. However, their household had received good news, and it called for a grand celebration.

"Jinjin, what did you just say? Say it again?"

Tang Rao cleared his ears, afraid he misheard.

After he cleared his ears, Wen Jinjin repeated, "Congratulations, my lord, you're going to be a father again, Xiaoxiao is pregnant."

Even You Xiaoxiao couldn't believe it. Among all her sisters, she was the first to become pregnant.

Upon hearing the good news, You Xiaoxiao touched her belly, the tears flowing uncontrollably.

"This is good news, why are you crying?"

Tang Rao couldn't stand witnessing joyful occasions accompanied by tears.
