Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 393 Who is strangling my fate?

Wen Shubai raised his hand and tucked the scattered hair around her ears over them, then continued to ask her patiently, "Xiao Nian, what did you want to say to Dad just now?"

Her eyes were a little dull, and after a while, she uttered a few words incoherently.

"Sister, it's dangerous."

Wen Shubai quickly pieced together the meaning of what Xiaonian wanted to say from the two words she said.

"You mean your sister was climbing a tree to reach a hornet's nest, which was dangerous?"

Xiao Nian nodded and hugged Wen Shubai's neck.

"I just told her, so it's okay."

Although Xiao Nian was not his biological child, he had been raising her by his side since she was less than a month old, and Wen Shubai treated her the same as Xixi.

Xiao Nian struggled to get out of Wen Shubai's arms. After he put Xiao Nian on the ground, Xiao Nian wanted to hold his hand and take him somewhere.

"Hmm? Where are you taking Dad?"

Xiao Nian didn't say anything and walked forward with his short legs.

But before she could take a few steps, she fell to the ground.

Wen Shubai picked her up with concern and gently patted the dirt off her body.

But Xiao Nian's eyes were looking outside.

She pointed in a direction, and Wen Shubai picked her up and walked out.

Before he had walked far, Wen Shubai saw a wisp of gray smoke rising.

His eyebrows twitched. It was not time for dinner yet, so where did the smoke in the house come from?

When he brought Xiao Nian to where the smoke was coming from, he coughed because of being choked.

In a short while, Xixi had already used her slingshot to shoot the bird down from the tree.

Now she and An An were squatting on the ground, about to roast and eat the bird they had shot down.

When Xiao Nian saw her brothers and sisters playing, she wanted to join them.

After Wen Shubai put her on the ground, Xixi hadn't noticed her father had come over yet. She even said to An An, "Don't worry, no one will find us here."

In her hands she held the threaded bird, roasting it over the fire, with spices on the floor that she had secretly taken from the kitchen.

"Hurry up and cook, hurry up and cook..." Xixi muttered to herself.

An An was squatting facing Wen Shubai. When he saw Wen Shubai coming, he was so scared that the things in his hands fell into the fire.

Xixi picked it up for him without fear of the heat and handed it to him.

But An An immediately stood up and said to Xixi, "I...I want to go back."

After saying that, he trotted out.

Leaving Xixi at a loss.

Wen Shubai looked at the girl who hadn't noticed him yet with a half-smile, and stopped Xiao Nian who was about to go find her sister.

"Really? You were fine just now, why don't you bake with me?"

Xixi complained and simply picked up Anan's to grill together.

At this time, she did not realize the seriousness of the matter.

She was still struggling in the air until Wen Shubai approached her, grabbed her collar and lifted her up from the ground.

"Who, who is it that has strangled my fate by the throat?"

The collar was pinching her neck, making her feel very uncomfortable.

But when she looked back, she was so scared that her soul almost flew away.

"Daddy, Daddy...it's you."

Wen Shubai frowned and scolded her, "You are so brave! You actually dare to play with fire in our house."

If Xiao Nian hadn't seen the smoke and asked him to come over, the two children would probably still be lighting a fire and roasting the bird.

Xixi made a bitter face and tried hard to think of an excuse.

"It's fine if you're playing by yourself, but you brought your brother along. What if you accidentally set the house on fire?"

Xixi coughed. Wen Shubai was still holding her collar, and she stuck out her tongue.

Only then did Wen Shubai put her on the ground.

He said to Xixi, "I'll deal with you later."

Wen Shubai called his servants to bring buckets of water to put out the fire and clean up the mess on the ground.

Xixi, with her face blackened by the fire and her hands behind her back, returned to the house with Wen Shubai.

"Do you know what you did wrong?" Wen Shubai asked her expressionlessly, Xiao Nian standing beside him.

Xixi said with a sad face: "I shouldn't have played with fire at home."

"anything else?"

besides?

Xixi raised her head and thought hard again.

A hint of confusion appeared on the face that was very similar to Gu Qingyuan.

"I should be more careful next time so you don't find out."

When he heard the first sentence, the expression on Wen Shubai's face eased a little, but when he heard the second sentence that he shouldn't have discovered, he immediately became furious again.

"Gu Wenxi, you're getting bolder and bolder. If you dare to play with fire today, will you burn down our house tomorrow?"

Xixi argued, "I'm planning to catch some crickets tomorrow to have a cricket fight. I'm not planning to burn the house down."

Wen Shubai took a deep breath and let the rain take her into the house to reflect.

Yu Shui looked at Xixi, whose face was dark, then looked at Wen Shubai, and said to Xixi, "Second Miss... come this way."

"What about my bird?" she continued to ask persistently.

It was almost cooked! And that ungrateful An An actually left me and ran away.

"You dare mention it? You're not allowed to eat tonight."

Xixi burst into tears and said, "I want to find my mother and tell her that you abused me and didn't let me eat... Wuuuu, this is so unfair. You are so cruel to me. You must not be my real father. I want to find my real father..."

But she saw that An An's father was very good to An An. Not only did he not scold him, but he also made delicious food for him in various ways.

Wen Shubai smiled coldly and said, "Don't dream about it, you are my biological child."

If she wasn't his biological daughter, he wouldn't be so cruel to her.

He is now afraid that Xixi will grow up to be a bad person and do something bad when she grows up.

Therefore, I had to be strict with her from a young age.

Xixi was brought by the rain to an empty room for reflection.

At this time, Xiao Nian said, "What about me?"

Wen Shubai looked at the well-behaved Xiao Nian, his eyes curved as he said, "You are also Daddy's good daughter."

If Xixi could be half as worry-free as Xiaonian, he wouldn't have to worry so much.

In the evening, Gu Qingyuan finished his work and returned home.

"Xixi, Xiaonian, and An'an, Mom is back! I brought you some delicious candied haws and sugar-roasted chestnuts."

Gu Qingyuan had three portions of food in her hands and shouted to them as soon as she returned home.

But only Xiao Nian and An An came.

Gu Qingyuan held the remaining portion in her hand and asked curiously, "Where's Xixi? Isn't that girl usually the most enthusiastic to come out and greet me?"

The candied haws are wrapped in a layer of glutinous rice paper and can be eaten directly.

After the two children got it, they couldn't wait to put it in their mouths.

When Gu Qingyuan walked inside, she saw Wen Shubai, who looked unhappy.

"Abai, where's Xixi?"

She put the things on the table and walked around the room, but didn't see Xixi.
