After being friends for so long, Rong Jun could tell from his expression that things were not going well for him.
"I've finished training, so I'll be leaving now," Rong Jun said before quickly running off. He had decided to avoid Ruan Ling'an, this lunatic, for the day.
Ruan Ling'an chuckled and wondered if he could really escape from him.
But he knew he had to meet him. After leaving the school training ground, he went directly to find his biological father.
In the school garden, Ruan Shu was sitting on a reclining chair, nibbling on some dried fish, with her tall and handsome father seated beside her, holding the Chinese knot she had gifted him.
Seeing her father's joy, she felt a surge of happiness.
"Click, click..."
She was so happy that she stuffed too much into her mouth, causing her cheeks to bulge like a little hamster storing food.
It seemed like her father and brothers all knew that she liked to eat dried fish and candy when she was bored. They always kept some snacks in the car, and she also carried a small bag of snacks with her.
There were various flavors, and Ruan Shu listened to her father talk about her third brother while eating.
"Your third brother is Ruan Ling'an, with the bloodline of a qilin and a lion." Although he is the youngest in the family, he is also the most combative.
Ruan Shu nodded. She was no longer anxious about whether her third brother would like her, as everyone in the family would eventually get to know her.
If her third brother didn't like her, she would try to avoid being in his presence and not disturb him.
"The students at the First Military Academy undergo intensive training, so he only returns home once a month or every six months."
Ruan Shu's mouth widened slightly. "That long?"
No wonder, it seemed like her second brother also only went back once in a while.
"I arranged for you to be a day student while you're in school." The housekeeper will pick you up and drop you off at school every day.
Ruan Shu obediently nodded. Ruan Xiao was usually quiet, but when it came to her education, she was very meticulous and patient. His adjutants were quite impressed by this.
At that moment, Ruan Shu noticed a young man walking towards them.
He was tall and slender, standing at around 1.8 meters, with dazzling golden hair. He was dressed in combat pants and a black short-sleeved shirt, casually walking with his hands in his pockets.
As he approached, his appearance became clearer, revealing a striking resemblance to his father, but his temperament was completely different.
There was more rebelliousness and confidence in his demeanor, typical of a young man.
Ruan Shu's gaze lingered for a few seconds on the obvious bruise on his face.
Was her brother involved in a fight before coming here?
Ruan Ling'an walked over, originally looking at his father, but his gaze quickly shifted to Ruan Shu.
"Who's this?"
A very impolite question, but Ruan Xiao's cold gaze made him immediately behave. ###
He instinctively stood at attention and said, "Father."
Ruan Xiao then withdrew his intimidating stare.
Ruan Ling'an grinned. Who was this little thing that his father was protecting so much?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he looked at Ruan Xiao in disbelief.
"Could this be your illegitimate daughter, Dad?"
Ruan Shu, who was secretly watching her third brother, remained silent.
Ruan Xiao also remained silent.
In a way, it wasn't entirely wrong.
"This is your sister," Ruan Shu said nervously, still holding the unfinished dried fish in her hand.
Ruan Ling'an exclaimed, "Wow, really!"
The next moment, he was met with a deathly stare from his father.
"Ruan Ling'an."
Upon hearing his father's calm and cold tone, Ruan Ling'an realized that he was angry.
Ruan Ling'an felt very aggrieved, but he didn't have the courage to say it out loud. However, his resentment was clearly evident on his face.
As Ruan Shu watched her father and third brother interact, she sat quietly beside them, not saying a word. But she could always sense her third brother's scrutinizing gaze on her.
She couldn't enjoy the dried fish in her hand, so she timidly looked up at him.
Their eyes met, and Ruan Shu instinctively smiled at him.
A well-behaved and beautiful child's smile is truly healing and has the power to soften people's hearts.
Ruan Ling'an was taken aback. His illegitimate sister was surprisingly good-looking.
Originally, he had been quite repulsed by this little brat. After all, who would like illegitimate children? But now, her smile had lessened his aversion.
However...
He couldn't protect such a little brat with his top-tier combat strength from the First Military Academy. Even if she were his legitimate sister, it wouldn't work!
Ruan Ling'an stubbornly resisted, full of defiance. Even if it were his biological father, he couldn't...
"Fight me," Ruan Xiao said.
Ruan Ling'an was speechless.
"How is this any different from bullying a child?" Ruan Xiao asked him. "Do you have a problem with that?"
A father and son fighting in the world of star beasts? Was there a problem with that? Of course not. Which parent didn't beat their children to death if they couldn't kill them?
Ruan Shu tugged at her father's clothes and whispered, "Dad, please don't."
If her brother was so unwilling, what if he ended up raising his fists against her instead of protecting her?
Seeing her brother's clenched fists, she realized she couldn't handle the situation.
Ruan Xiao patted her head and said softly, "Don't worry."
Although he didn't get along with his sons as well as he would have liked, he still understood their personalities. The third son was impulsive and quick-tempered, but he wasn't one to bully the weak. He would keep his promises even if he were reluctant.
He wanted to arrange for a bodyguard to follow Ruan Shu, but unfortunately, the school did not allow it. So, his son, who was studying at the neighboring university, was the best choice. At least, if the little one was truly being bullied, he could protect her as quickly as possible.
Ruan Xiao: He had never thought he would be worrying about his children one day.
At the same time, Ruan Ling'an was also lost in his own thoughts. Fighting was impossible. Unless he became strong enough and his father grew old, he would make this person taste the frustration of being completely overwhelmed!
The rebellious child harbored no paternal sentiments in his heart; he was only biding his time, waiting for the opportune moment to overthrow his elderly father.
"Name your conditions freely," Ruan Xiao said.
Ruan Ling'an looked at him suspiciously. "Really?"
"If you don't want to, I can find someone else," Ruan Xiao replied.
"Tsk tsk, you're really doting on your little daughter." It's truly a rare sight. "I'm starting to doubt if you're really my father," Ruan Ling'an said, feeling quite shocked. What was so special about this little brat that made his father go to such lengths?
Was his father in love with someone else?
Hmm...
"I want a set of biological armor, S-K301," Ruan Ling'an said, not missing the opportunity to make a demand and extort his father.
"Okay," Ruan Xiao agreed without hesitation.
Ruan Ling'an widened his eyes. He had actually agreed, but that type of armor wasn't available on the market yet; only the military had it!
