Chereads / Star Meow Meow / Chapter 162 - Finding Father

Chapter 162 - Finding Father

They had only heard of her before, never seen her in person. For a moment, many widened their eyes in astonishment, their gazes fixed on the little girl, becoming even more intense.

Indeed, she was the Marshal's daughter!

Ruan Shu sat obediently beside her brother, with her knees together and hands on her lap, blinking with mild curiosity as she glanced at them.

After the initial shock, some were still eager to ask in whispers, but a tall figure appeared at the doorway.

A towering man with silver hair strode in, his gaze immediately falling on the well-behaved little girl seated beside her brother.

"Father!"

Ruan Shu's eyes lit up as she opened her arms wide, inviting him to pick her up.

She hugged her father warmly, nuzzling her cheek against his, her chubby cheeks slightly flattened.

"Daddy!"

The little girl's eyes were crescent-shaped as she called out in a sweet, childish voice, seemingly unable to call him enough times.

Ruan Xiao's lips quirked upward in a rare display, surprising his subordinates who were accustomed to his cold and austere demeanor.

"Daddy, I brought mooncakes for you, made by me and my big brother together."

Ruan Feng interjected, "You made them; I just kneaded the dough."

Ruan Xiao ignored his son and held his daughter with one arm. "Come to my office first."

"Okay."~"

With her father around, Ruan Shu became livelier, yet she still appeared as gentle as a herbivore among a group of predators, seemingly more harmless than the herbivores in this world.

The burly men around, whether passing by or hearing the news, couldn't help but stare. Upon seeing the Marshal's daughter, they instantly became envious!

Oh my! Her childish voice is truly delightful!

I wish I could be called 'Daddy' in such a gentle tone, instead of having my ears pulled, tail grabbed, and house wrecked.

"Marshal, is this your daughter?" She's already two years old. Why didn't you bring her earlier? If you're busy, we can help take care of her.

Some brave souls approached.

In a good mood, Ruan Xiao glanced at them while holding his daughter. "You?"

"Yes, we are from the Third Legion." "We are your subordinates, and your daughter is like our own daughter." We will treat her like our own!

Ruan Xiao only gave them a cold stare. "Get lost."

Ruan Shu, holding onto her father's neck, boldly retorted, "I'm four years old, not two!"

She didn't seem that young.

"Four years old?" She doesn't look like it!

"She's so tiny."

Ruan Shu puffed her cheeks, feeling a little annoyed but not angry, just a bit upset about her petite frame.

Ruan Xiao gave them a warning look. "She's just small."

But although Ruan Shu was petite, she was chubby and fair-skinned, clearly well-cared for.

"Marshal, your daughter is so cute; she looks very well-behaved." "I only have a son at home. Every time I return, he picks fights with me and pulls out a lot of my hair."

Ruan Feng boasted, "My nephew is different from your son. He is always quiet and never noisy." She loves sticking with us. Every time we return, we can see her sitting quietly at the door, waiting for us.

His father didn't like to talk, but Ruan Feng was eager to brag, rambling on. He actually wanted to omit the word 'us', but out of consideration for his father, he added it to avoid being beaten.

Ruan Shu said, "..."

Her face gradually reddened as her brother's string of praises embarrassed her so much that she buried her face in her father's neck.

Brother, please stop! It's so embarrassing! And I'm not as clingy as you say!

Previously, when she was clinging to her father, Ruan Shu's small, blushing face did not reveal that she was clingy. Cats are clingy, not her!

But her behavior only confirmed Ruan Feng's words, and her shy, sweet voice was too adorable!

"Daddy, Daddy, please go find Grandpa."

Ruan Shu bit her lip, gently tugging her father's hair.

Ruan Feng was addicted to showing off, and Ruan Xiao, the father, felt oddly satisfied with everyone's envious eyes on him. However, he paid more attention to his daughter.

"Okay."

Then he swaggered away with his daughter.

Ruan Feng hurriedly followed, holding mooncakes in his hands. He needed to find time to take pictures and post them on social media!

After they left, news of the Marshal's daughter visiting their military department quickly spread in the Third Legion. Those who had seen Ruan Shu described her as well-behaved and cute, nothing like the Marshal's temperament at all.

The first person who hadn't seen her in person or online couldn't believe it.

"Are you kidding me?" With our Marshal's explosive temper and General Ruan's ferocious appearance, can their daughter really have such a gentle personality? Not to mention the Marshal's family, even the entire Star Beast Clan has never seen anyone like the person you are describing. "Isn't she just a legend?"

"Don't doubt it, really." I didn't believe it myself until I saw her. But that child is truly visibly gentle and mild-mannered. She even looks shy!

"Yes, yes… Her milky voice is soft and tender, and she sticks close to the Marshal." When she called him 'Daddy,' I almost felt like responding on behalf of the Marshal.

"Haha..." If you actually replied, the Marshal would probably kick you out with one kick!

Some who had seen her online were even more curious and wanted to see her in person.

"Was the item hanging around the Marshal's waist made by his daughter?" Many people are aware of it. Where is she now? I want to go see.

"I want to go too." Since our training is over, why don't we go together?

"Don't even think about it; the Marshal took her to his office."

"Ah… Did anyone take pictures?" Please post them for us to see.

"Yeah, without photos, it's just hearsay."

His office was as neat and simple as his study, furnished with bookshelves, a work desk, a chair, and an indoor dining table. Though tidy and spacious, there were very few personal items.

There wasn't even a sofa.

Ruan Shu happily handed a box of mooncakes to him. "Daddy, have some." These are salted egg yolk and ham mooncakes, not sweet.

"Mooncakes?"

Ruan Feng had already opened another box and taken some photos.

"They're a special holiday treat from her dreams."

Ruan Shu nodded. "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, symbolizing reunion."

But clearly, this reunion was incomplete. However, it didn't matter; Shu Shu could arrange a reunion tomorrow by sending mooncakes to her little brother.

And the elder brother she hadn't met.

Ruan Shu stuffed mooncakes into her father's hands. "It's okay if you haven't met; I can send them to Second Brother."

This way, everyone could have mooncakes, and it could barely count as a reunion.
