As soon as Little Lychee entered the bedroom, she saw her father pick up a nearby nket and cover her motherpletely.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    He was slowly buttoning up his shirt, looking as if he had just woken up.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Little Lychee quickly ran to their bedside and asked Pei Chiyao, "Daddy, Daddy! What are you doing? Did you just wake up from a nap?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Pei Chiyao replied without blushing or showing any sign of nervousness, "Yes, did you just wake up too, sweetheart?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Little Lychee nodded,pletely forgetting about the chocte incident from earlier. The little one stretched out her soft, chubby arms, reaching out to Pei Chiyao and cooing, "Daddy, carry me."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    This gesture from his daughter instantly melted Pei Chiyao''s heart.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    He lifted her up without hesitation, looking at Little Lychee''s face that bore an 80% resemnce to Zhi Yao''s. Pei Chiyao''s heart felt as warm as a clear spring.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    He chuckled softly and said, "Sweetie, Mommy is sleeping. Shall we go outside? Let''s not disturb her."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    However, Little Lychee was quite clever. She immediately saw through Pei Chiyao''s lie, "You''re fibbing! I saw Mommy moving when I came in. She''s not sleeping at all!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Moreover, when she was outside the door, she had heard Daddy and Mommy talking!<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Though she couldn''t make out what they were saying.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Pei Chiyao smoothly adapted, "Oh, that was just Mommy turning over in her sleep. Don''t you want Mommy to rest well? She just got back from outside and has been tired all day. Doesn''t Little Lychee care about Mommy?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Hearing this, Little Lychee began to hesitate.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    She didn''t want Mommy to feel unwell.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "But, but..."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Just as Little Lychee was having an internal struggle, Pei Chiyao stood up with her in his arms, ready to leave the room.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    In the blink of an eye, Little Lychee transformed into a little fox and quickly wriggled out of Pei Chiyao''s arms, diving straight into the nkets.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    She shouted as she ran, "Mommy, Mommy, I missed you so much!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    She couldn''t take it anymore! She was craving Mommy''s affection!<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    If she couldn''t hug and kiss Mommy right now, Little Lychee felt like she would die of difort.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Her little body burrowed around under the nket, eventually pushing it open.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Their eyes met, and the situation became extremely awkward.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Before Zhi Yao could speak, the satisfied and content expression on Little Lychee''s face suddenly changed to shock, concern, and fear when she saw the blue and purple marks on Mommy''s body.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Mommy, Mommy, what happened to you?" Zhi Yao was only wearing a spaghetti strap dress.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    She hurriedly grabbed the nket, trying to cover her body.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    But before she could make a move, Little Lychee in her arms burst into tears, "Mommy, Mommy, what''s going on? Who hit you?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    She cried while gently sniffing Zhi Yao''s body, but to her surprise, not only did she fail to detect any unfamiliar scent, she only smelled Pei Chiyao''s scent.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    In an instant, Little Lychee stopped crying and looked at Pei Chiyao with a fierce re.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Bad Daddy! Bad Daddy! You hit Mommy! You''re so mean, I hate you! I don''t like you!" she wailed.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Pei Chiyao and Zhi Yao both knew Little Lychee had misunderstood. They didn''t know whether tough or cry. Zhi Yao raised her hand to stroke the soft little one in her arms and said, "Baby, you''ve misunderstood. This wasn''t done by Daddy."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Impossible, impossible! There''s only Daddy''s scent on it! It must be Daddy!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Her nose was very sensitive, and she could identify who it was just by smell.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    She remembered a TV series she had watched with her grandmother recently, where a man abused his wife. That scene had be a traumatic memory for Little Lychee!<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Thinking of this, Little Lychee became even more frightened, "You actually abused Mommy, I don''t like you anymore."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The little one''s eyes were red from crying, her chest heaving violently, but she still didn''t forget to use her tiny body to shield Zhi Yao.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "I won''t let you hit Mommy, I won''t let you hurt Mommy! I''m going to take Mommy away, I''m going to take Mommy away from you!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Although Zhi Yao found the whole situation somewhat ridiculous, seeing her daughter protect her so fiercely made her heart melt.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    This was truly the daughter she had carried for ten months.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    People say that daughters are closer to their fathers, but Zhi Yao had never worried about this.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Whether it was Fifteen or Little Lychee, they always unconditionally sided with her, loved her.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Zhi Yao red at Pei Chiyao and said, "Hurry up and exin it clearly to her!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    It was all this culprit''s fault. Because of his jealousy, he had tormented her several times, and he even forgot to lock the door, allowing Little Lychee to run in and see.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Zhi Yao was both embarrassed and angry.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Pei Chiyao took a deep breath and stepped forward, intending to pick up the little one, but unexpectedly, the little one swept her big tail and directly curled around Zhi Yao''s neck.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Like a scarf, she used her two little paws to tightly hug Zhi Yao''s slender neck, her whole fox body curled into a ball, making Zhi Yao feel ticklish.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Seeing her determined not to let go, Pei Chiyao sighed and said, "Little Lychee, is this the kind of person you think Daddy is?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Little Lychee stared at Pei Chiyao with her big, bright eyes and said softly, "Brother said you''re this kind of person! Brother said you like to bully Mommy the most!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Pei Chiyao couldn''t help butugh angrily. In this family, his number one anti-fan was definitely Fifteen, who loved to disparage him and speak ill of him in front of Zhi Yao and Little Lychee at every opportunity. This way, he could gain the upper hand in the battle for Mom and sister''s affection.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Little Lychee,e here," Pei Chiyao reached out his hand towards her, "The marks on Mommy''s body weren''t caused by Daddy hitting her."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    He patiently tried to exin.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    But before he could finish, Little Lychee impatiently said, "How is that possible! You did hit my Mommy, I don''t like you anymore, I don''t want you to be my Daddy anymore, I want to take Mommy to marry that blonde big brother and let him be my Daddy."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Oh no, with these words, Zhi Yao knew that Little Lychee had definitely stepped on Pei Chiyao''sndmine repeatedly.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    She quickly covered her daughter''s mouth with her hand and picked her up, saying, "Little Lychee, it really wasn''t Daddy who hit me, these marks are... are..."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Zhi Yao stammered and mumbled, trying to exin, but after pondering for a while, she couldn''te up with any suitable words.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    After all, how could she exin such a... delicate matter too clearly?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Pei Chiyao nced at Zhi Yao and stepped in to continue the conversation: "This is because Mom usually doesn''t exercise properly, so Dad was helping her work out, which led to this situation. When exercising, it''s inevitable to get a few bumps and bruises, don''t you think?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Exercise?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Little Lychee''s big eyes were filled with doubt.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Zhi Yao''s cheeks instantly turned crimson. She shot a fierce re at Pei Chiyao, about to scold him, but considering Little Lychee''s presence, she held her tongue.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Little Lychee asked suspiciously, "Is that really true?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
