Chapter 970 - I Will Take Her As My Daughter
Xiao Tian then put Mu Ai on the bed before lying down beside her.
Currently, Mu Ai was lying in the middle of the bed with Xiao Tian on her right side and her mother on the other side.
"Big brother, you won't leave after I fall asleep, will you?" Mu Ai wanted to sleep with Xiao Tian tonight, so she did not want him to leave later.
"No." Xiao Tian shook his head. "I will sleep with you tonight."
Happiness glowed inside Mu Ai. "Good. Then we can eat breakfast together tomorrow morning."
"Sure." Xiao Tian had told his women that he would not return home, so he agreed instantly.
Mu Ai touched her lips with her right index finger and spoke, "Mmm? What should we eat for breakfast tomorrow?"
"How about fried rice?" Xiao Tian gave a suggestion.
"Fried rice? Un. I like fried rice." after saying that, Mu Ai turned her head to look at her mother, "Mother, can you cook fried rice for us tomorrow morning?"
"All right." Long Jingxian was pleased when she saw her daughter's happy face.
'It seems like little Ai really likes Xiao Tian. They are close to each other like a father and a daughter.'
Long Jingxian realized what she had just said in her mind.
'A father and a daughter?'
She then turned her head to look at Xiao Tian.
'Should I ask him to be her father?'
A wild idea suddenly appeared in her mind, but she did not hate that idea.
Mu Ai returned her attention to Xiao Tian and spoke, "Big brother, my mother will cook fried rice for us tomorrow morning. My mother is skilled at cooking. I'm sure you will like it later."
"Is that so? Then I'm looking forward to it." Xiao Tian put on a happy face as if he really wanted to taste Long Jingxian's cooking.
"I'm one hundred percent sure you will like it later." Mu Ai kept praising her mother.
"All right. Let's sleep now." Xiao Tian uttered,
"Un." Mu Ai nodded her head. "Good night, big brother."
"Good night, little Ai." Xiao Tian uttered,
Mu Ai then looked at her mother and spoke, "Good night, mother."
"Good night, my angel." Long Jingxian replied as she smiled softly.
After Mu Ai and Long Jingxian fell asleep, Xiao Tian got out of bed and headed to the living room.
'I want to watch TV.'
After sitting on the couch, Xiao Tian turned on the TV.
He watched TV with a low volume because he did not want to wake Long Jingxian and Mu Ai.
Fifteen minutes later, Long Jingxian entered the living room. "What are you doing here?"
Xiao Tian turned his head towards Long Jingxian and replied, "Oh, lady Long. I'm watching TV now."
After sitting next to Xiao Tian, Long Jingxian uttered, "Thank you, Xiao Tian."
"Why are you thanking me?" Xiao Tian inquired.
"Little Ai was really scared earlier. I even could not calm her down. Luckily you were there for her." before calling Xiao Tian, Mu Ai could not sleep because the memory of her being tied to a chair by her father kept appearing in her mind.
At first, Long Jingxian panicked and tried to calm her down, but her efforts were in vain. Luckily, she remembered Xiao Tian or else, her daughter would still be scared now.
"Well, we can't blame her because she has experienced a cruel thing today." Xiao Tian could understand Mu Ai's feelings.
In his view, it was normal to be scared like that because what she had experienced was one of the cruelest things in the world.
Xiao Tian just hoped that Mu Ai would not be traumatized later.
"Xiao Tian, I have been curious about this until now." Long Jingxian spoke and paused for a second before she continued, "Why did you always help us? I mean, we were not close before, but you kept helping us."
"Hmm? Didn't I already answer this question?" Xiao Tian replied, "Little Ai is like a little angel in my eyes. She is so adorable, to the point I always want to see her smile. I really hope that my future daughter will be as cute as her later."
Xiao Tian did not swing that way. He was not a lolicon, and he had joined the MILF sect, so he only saw Mu Ai as an adorable kid.
"Then why don't you take her as your daughter?" after realizing what she had just said, Long Jingxian could not say anything anymore, and as a result, she only stared at him.
'Aren't I being too straight with what I want?'
Actually, Long Jingxian only wanted to say it in her head.
*Silence…
Long Jingxian's word dropped the living room into a dead silence.
Her words much surprised Xiao Tian, to the point he could not answer her question immediately. Of course, Xiao Tian understood the meaning of her words.
He just did not expect her to say it directly like that.
One second…three seconds…five seconds…
It had been five seconds, but they still did not say anything.
"I mean, you really like little Ai, and she also likes you, so…" Long Jingxian did not finish her words on purpose because she was sure Xiao Tian knew what she wanted to say.
"Sure. I will take her as my daughter if you allow it." Xiao Tian loved Mu Ai, so he agreed.
Long Jingxian looked at him carefully.
'What is the meaning of his words?'
There were two meanings in Xiao Tian's words, so Long Jingxian wanted to know which one it was.
First, Xiao Tian would only take Mu Ai as his adopted daughter. Second, he would become her husband later.
Long Jingxian tried to find the answer, but her efforts were in vain.
'I really want to know the meaning of his words.'
Because she could not hold back the curiosity within her, Long Jingxian decided to ask it.
"Do you mean you will take little Ai as your adopted daughter, or do you mean you want to be my husband?" Long Jingxian asked curiously.
