"In Shen Daqiang's view, only by getting Shen Qingcong away from this home could the conflict within it be resolved.
Concerned with freeing himself from the current situation as soon as possible, Shen Daqiang didn't consider the damage and pain his choice and separation would inflict on his daughter.
Even if he wanted to make amends later, Shen Qingcong would not give him another chance.
When Xiao Chifeng realized Shen Daqiang's intention, he readily agreed to his request.
Just like that, the person responsible for looking after Shen Qingcong changed from Shen Daqiang to Xiao Chifeng.
"We're here! Get off the car!"
Xiao Chifeng lightly tapped her shoulder, pulling Shen Qingcong out of her reverie.
Looking at the handsome face close at hand, she suddenly felt her eyes welling up. If it were not for him, she didn't know where she'd be now.
Thinking of his stern treatment and careful care of her over the past three years, Shen Qingcong suddenly stretched out her arms and hugged Xiao Chifeng, sobbing out, "Big Brother Xiao, thank you!"
Smelling the faint scent of a young girl radiating from her, Xiao Chifeng stiffened.
After a moment's hesitation, he reached out and drew her delicate frame into his arms, his voice a bit rigid, gently comforting her, "Little Congcong is good... very good!"
Hearing his praise, Shen Qingcong's heart bloomed.
She clung to him, as if she was holding the whole world. She nuzzled her face against his cheek, sighing, "Big Brother Xiao, you are the only one who thinks I'm good."
He clumsily comforted her, "No, Little Congcong is the best, they will know in the future."
Inspired by his words, Shen Qingcong nodded emphatically, "Yes, I am the best! I must be the best! Big Brother Xiao, I won't let you down! I definitely won't! You must believe in me!"
Looking at her determined little face, and her bright eyes filled with confidence and resolve, Xiao Chifeng couldn't help himself. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead, "Mmm, I believe in you."
Feeling the warm touch on her forehead, Shen Qingcong's cheeks immediately turned red.
Big Brother Xiao kissed her!
Big Brother Xiao kissed her!!
Big Brother Xiao kissed her!!!
Shen Qingcong's heart was pounding. She wanted to jump up and shout out loud to express the excitement and happiness in her heart.
No wonder Shen Qingcong was so excited. To her, Xiao Chifeng was an illustrious man, making her respect, love, and slightly fear him.
Every winter and summer break when she trained at the military camp, she heard numerous stories about Xiao Chifeng's heroic deeds before his retirement.
He had won the title of "Soldier King" for five consecutive years.
He infiltrated the border and single-handedly destroyed Delta's largest smuggling den.
He ventured into the Amazon Primitive Forest and battled an international-level Mercenary Group by himself to retrieve the national treasure.
The Dagger Corps he led were invincible, without a single failure in all their missions till date.
He was regarded as an unbeaten war god in the military and a shining star in everyone's eyes.
He was viewed as a future great leader and the successor to the Xiao Family Empire.
Listing his achievements would take three days and nights.
What eighteen-year-old girl wouldn't have a romantic and beautiful love dream?
A legendary figure like Xiao Chifeng, who was incredibly handsome, had the best familial background, and attracted numerous young ladies from aristocratic families, how could she not develop feelings and admiration for him?
