Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Trouble

"Warming his bed? Offering myself to him?"

The little one’s words made Liang Qingren blush furiously, her face turning as red as an apple. "This... this isn’t quite right. That’s too bold," Liang Qingren said, lowering her head, her voice growing timid.

"No, no, no! It’s not too much at all. They do this in TV dramas all the time! Don’t worry. Look, his body is actually very strong..."

Gugu had learned these tricks from who knows where, and now she was using them all on Liang Qingren. Liang Qingren was so embarrassed she didn’t know what to do. Clearly, she was no match for the little girl.

Wu Tian watched the scene in amazement. My daughter is really something else.

After a moment, something dawned on Liang Qingren. She looked at the adorable Gugu and felt compelled to pinch her chubby cheeks. "Little one, tell me, what’s your name?"

"Nope! If you become my second mommy, then I’ll tell you my name," Gugu said.

Wu Tian chuckled. It seems my daughter is trying to act as my wingman, but I really don’t need the help.

Liang Qingren was also stunned. She hadn’t expected Wu Tian to already have a daughter. A hint of disappointment surfaced within her, but it was just a fleeting feeling. Her resolve to take Wu Tian to meet her grandmother, however, remained unchanged.

Now, Liang Qingren looked at Wu Tian with concern and whispered, "I’m so sorry. You’re in trouble now for hitting Wei Chunhua."

"Trouble?" Hearing this, Wu Tian couldn’t help but chuckle. In a bustling metropolis like this, he didn’t think anything could truly be trouble for him. The definition of "trouble" changes depending on one’s perspective. A child might think failing an exam is a disaster, but to an adult, getting a zero on a test is nothing. Similarly, Wu Tian didn’t believe that what Liang Qingren considered trouble would be any trouble for him at all.

"Why do you say that?" Wu Tian asked, wanting to get the full story.

"Wei Chunhua herself is nothing special, but she has a sister who’s involved in the underworld," Liang Qingren said thoughtfully. "And the man she’s hooked up with is rumored to be one of the top three underground figures in Yang City."

In any city, where there is light, there is also darkness. For a man to make it in the underworld, he needs to be ruthless. For a woman, she needs to be seductive. Wei Chunhua’s sister, it seemed, understood this path all too well.

"You have to be careful," Liang Qingren said. Although Wu Tian was the Innate expert her grandmother had mentioned, she didn’t really understand how powerful an Innate expert truly was.

"Don’t worry, it’ll be fine," Wu Tian said with a shrug.

Liang Qingren could only nod, but she couldn’t help but feel anxious. People in the underworld didn’t just fight with knives. They also had firearms. Can an Innate expert even stand up to bullets?

"That’s right! Daddy is so strong, nothing will happen! Besides, my mommy is a CEO too!" the little girl exclaimed, clenching her fists.

"Little cutie, what did you just say?" Liang Qingren asked, doubting her own ears. "Did you say your mommy is CEO Qin Yuhan?"

Liang Qingren broke out in a cold sweat as she stared at the little girl. She couldn’t believe she had just said her mother was Qin Yuhan. She instinctively felt it was impossible. As a thought struck her, she shot an angry glare at Wu Tian. It must be this guy! He’s always muttering about Qin Yuhan being his wife, and now this little cutie has picked up his bad habits!

Wu Tian, of course, noticed Liang Qingren’s glare and felt that even jumping into the Yellow River couldn’t clear his name now. This little girl’s development has had nothing to do with me! The thought, however, only filled him with guilt. He swore to himself that from now on, he would make sure to be a proper companion for his little girl.

You want a taste? Then you’d better learn how to treat the woman in your own house right.

「Meanwhile, in a luxury hospital ward in Yang City.」

Wei Chunhua lay on the hospital bed, her face a mask of panic. She mumbled incessantly, unable to form a single coherent word as tears streamed down her face.

When her younger sister, Wei Chunli, learned what had happened, she immediately took action. She sent her lackeys to investigate the incident at Qin Corporation while she herself rushed to the hospital. Looking at her older sister’s tear-streaked face, Wei Chunli’s expression turned grim, her pretty eyes filling with rage.

"Sister, don’t you worry. We grew up together. Your problems are my problems," Wei Chunli said firmly, squeezing Wei Chunhua’s hand.

Their childhood hadn’t been easy. The two sisters had sometimes even stolen things together to get by. Looking back now, even as a figure in the underworld, Wei Chunli saw that period as their most innocent, happy, and beautiful time.

So different from now. Although she had status, she had earned it by using her body to please men, and she never knew when age would steal her beauty and rob her of her only asset.

Just then, one of her lackeys came in and told Wei Chunli exactly what had happened.

"So, that’s how it is. A man named Wu Tian, a mere manager of the logistics department, dares to be so arrogant?" After hearing the story, Wei Chunli felt no blame for her sister. Instead, she gritted her teeth and said, "I have people inside Qin Corporation too. I’ll arrange a little show. Sister, tonight, I’ll take you to watch the play. I will make that bastard beg for forgiveness right in front of you."

Hearing this, Wei Chunhua, though unable to speak, nodded emphatically, her eyes lighting up with delight.
