"What's the big deal now?" Liu Shihua said nonchalantly.

Ye, just like her mother, was a mischievous spirit who could lie without blinking.

"I ran into a bad guy, and as soon as he saw me, he grinned... His smile was so ugly, it nearly scared me to death!" Ye said, clutching her chest.

"Ye, are you trying to fool me again?" Liu Shihua said, speechless. "You mess around with your mom every day, don't make me beat you up!"

Ye's martial arts talent was formidable, and it was hard to tell how sly she was; even Liu Shihua had fallen for her tricks.

Don't be deceived by her size; she's a trickster!

"I'm really not messing around!" Ye became anxious. "That person is coming after us! Let's run quickly; his smile is too scary!"

"Go away!" Liu Shihua didn't want to deal with her cheeky daughter anymore.

"Mommy, that person is really scary, and he said he knows you..." Ye suddenly went quiet.

"Hmm?" Liu Shihua, seeing her daughter's demeanor, was slightly surprised.

She knew Ye's personality very well—wherever she went, there was chaos, and with Su Binglan and Zhang Xinlan backing her up, she could be unruly anywhere.

But what happened to Ye now? Not only did she say she was scared, but she also started to stutter?

"Mommy, that person with the ugly smile, he said he..." Ye hesitated for a moment but did not finish the sentence.

"What?" Liu Shihua was genuinely curious; what had happened?

"That person said... he's my dad!" Ye decided to reveal everything.

"Your dad?" Liu Shihua was taken aback. "Where is that person?"

"Mommy, is that person really my dad?" Ye asked innocently.

"That's nonsense, your dad went off to chase girls and never came back; that person is definitely not your dad!" Liu Shihua said without thinking.

Ye often asked about her father, and Liu Shihua would always respond, saying, your dad went off to chase girls and abandoned us... it was this peculiar way of raising that led to Ye's quirky personality.

"If he's not my dad, then why are you looking for him?" Ye questioned.

"I'm gonna beat him up!" Liu Shihua fumed. "Someone dared to pretend to be your dad; watch me teach him a lesson!"

"..."

Ye looked at her playful mommy and couldn't find the words to comment.

"Ah, mommy, the bad guy is here!"

Suddenly, a shadow darted into the courtyard, scaring Ye into letting out a cry, as she hid behind Liu Shihua.

"Bad guy?"

Liu Shihua glanced at Ye and instinctively looked up, her attention turning toward the shadowy figure.

"Shihua!" The newcomer was a man dressed in historical attire, extraordinarily handsome.

In this modern society, the man's ancient costume stood in stark contrast to the world, as if he were a man out of time.

"Ye Chen?"

Liu Shihua was stunned at the sight of this man, seemingly in disbelief.

The man before her was wearing a Nine Dragons Emperor Robe, exuding incredible majesty, like an emperor descending upon the world, making people want to look up to him.

Yet, this man's features were refined and handsome, so familiarly recognizable!

Liu Shihua felt that this person was Ye Chen, but Ye Chen never had hair this long, right?

"Did you miss me?" Ye Chen smiled like a flower at Liu Shihua. "Liu Shihua, I heard you gave me a daughter. I've missed you so much!"

Ye Chen, disregarding his daughter's presence, directly embraced his wife, rubbing his cheek against hers affectionately.

"..."

The familiar embrace, familiar feeling, familiar aura; Liu Shihua clung to Ye Chen without saying a word, tears already flowing... Her man was back!

"Ah, you big bad guy, you're bullying my mommy!" Ye's entire being flared up upon seeing this scene.

"Boom!"

Ye clenched her tiny fists and struck, releasing a power unlike her age, aiming straight for Ye Chen's back.

"As expected of my daughter, not even five years old, yet already a Martial Arts Grandmaster!" Ye Chen, still holding Liu Shihua, lifted Ye with one hand.

Ye's fist exerted extreme force, capable of killing a strong bull or collapsing a house—true Grandmaster-level prowess!

A child not even five years old had become a Grandmaster; such talent was rare even in the Canglan Realm!

Ye Chen was already quite a prodigy, but compared to his daughter, he was utterly outmatched!

"Ah ah ah, you big bad guy, let me go!" Ye was struggling fiercely after being grabbed by Ye Chen, clearly unwilling to have any contact with him.

Ye was always used to being domineering, supported not only by Liu Shihua, Zhang Xinlan, and Yun Xianghan but also by her big aunt Zhao Yue... practically Huaxia's number one little princess.

After Ye Chen's appearance, not only did he hug her mommy, but he also rubbed his face against hers... Ye just couldn't stand it.

Ye wanted to punish this bad guy, but he was too strong, overpowering her effortlessly.

But no matter how powerful Ye Chen's martial arts are, Ye isn't afraid of her, because besides her mommy, she has a big aunt, a second aunt, a third aunt, a fourth aunt... Even if Ye Chen can fight, he can't possibly defeat all those aunts.

However, there's one thing Ye can't understand; why doesn't this bad guy take advantage of mommy, and why doesn't mommy resist?

"Silly daughter, I'm your dad!" Liu Shihua let go of Liu Shihua and hugged Ye, slightly excitedly said.

Ye looks so adorable, with delicate features and pinkish skin, like a little fairy... Such a beautiful daughter must take after her dad!

"Don't call me daughter, who do you think you are?" Ye immediately disagreed upon hearing this. "My dad is so handsome and is busy dating girls in another world, you're not my dad!"

"..."

Ye's innocent words left Ye Chen speechless and completely dumbfounded.

"You big bad guy, let go of me!" Ye didn't want to be held by Ye Chen. "How dare you scare me, bully my mommy, and even pretend to be my dad, I'm definitely telling my aunts about this, and they'll beat you up!"

"Liu Shihua, is this the daughter we had together?" Ye Chen looked at Liu Shihua while holding Ye.

"Hmm..." Liu Shihua, seeing Ye Chen, had a thousand words unsaid, only for her daughter to steal the lines... But this Ye is just... not giving her biological dad any face, making Liu Shihua feel embarrassed.

"Who taught her to be like this?" Ye Chen inquired about Ye's upbringing.

"Mostly I taught her, but sometimes when I'm busy, I let Su Binglan, Zhang Xinlan, and the others help out..." Liu Shihua lowered her head, somewhat guilty.

The fact that her dear daughter turned out this way is surely due to an unreliable mother; it's no wonder Liu Shihua felt guilty.

"Shihua, you taught her well, our daughter is lively, and I like that!" Ye Chen said. "In all these years I wasn't around, it must have been tough on you!"

Ye Chen didn't mean to blame anyone, but instead felt a sense of guilt!

When Liu Shihua gave birth, Ye Chen wasn't there, when Liu Shihua raised the child, Ye Chen wasn't there... What right does Ye Chen have to blame her?

Moreover, for Liu Shihua, a big star, to suddenly become pregnant and give birth, she must have carried a heavy burden, and Ye Chen only felt guilt in his heart.

"It's okay, it wasn't tough, as long as you're back!" Liu Shihua forced a smile, tears streaming down.

Ye Chen had been gone for five years and now that he was finally back, Liu Shihua was overwhelmingly excited, feeling a storm of joy along with having countless things to say. However, when she tried to speak, Liu Shihua couldn't bring the words out; she only wanted to hold Ye Chen and have a good cry. But with Ye taking up Ye Chen's embrace, it left Liu Shihua feeling even more wronged, causing her to cry even harder.

"Mommy, what's wrong, why are you crying?" Ye asked curiously. "Is this bad guy bullying you?"

"Mommy, don't be afraid, I'll find my big aunt, and she'll beat this bad guy away... Bad guy, let go of me now!"

Ye was lively as a fish out of water in Ye Chen's arms, clearly not wanting to get close to him.

"Dear daughter, I am your dad!" Ye Chen hugged Ye, affectionately nuzzling her face, with an indescribable fondness.

"Ah, don't touch me!" Ye cried in fear, pushing at Ye Chen's face with her little hands, not wanting him to get closer. "Mommy, save me, this bad guy is saving me, how will I ever get married now?"

"..."

As Ye's biological father, Ye Chen felt like he was out of wit's end. Is this really his daughter? How can she be so unruly!

And she's not even five years old yet, speaking such words, how on earth did Liu Shihua teach her?

"Ye, don't be afraid, he really is your dad!" Liu Shihua was at a loss for words.

"I don't believe it!" Ye pushed Ye Chen's face away, preventing him from getting closer, and looked at Liu Shihua. "Didn't you say dad went to another world to flirt with girls? Didn't you say he didn't want us?"

"Did you really say that?" Ye Chen looked at Liu Shihua.

Someone indeed once told him about this nonsense, he thought it was a joke, but it turned out to be true!?

Liu Shihua actually told their daughter that he went to another world to flirt and didn't want them...

"You've been gone for so many years, I, I couldn't just lie to our daughter, could I?" Liu Shihua said defenselessly.

"Alright, it's all my fault, I'm the one who owes you both!" Ye Chen said.

"..."

After Ye Chen disappeared for five years without a word, leaving Liu Shihua resembling an angry wife, every time she saw people showing off their love on social media, she'd silently curse them.

Liu Shihua originally planned that when Ye Chen returned, she wouldn't say a word and just slap him twice!

However, Ye Chen's attitude of admitting fault was too good, making Liu Shihua unable to lay a hand on him...

"Mommy, is he really my dad?" After a quiet moment, Ye asked Liu Shihua.

"Mm, he's indeed your long-lost dad!" Liu Shihua confirmed with absolute certainty.

"..." Ye Chen was thunderstruck by this mother and daughter duo.

"Are you Ye Chen?" Ye asked, looking at Ye Chen.

"Mm, I am Ye Chen!"

Ye Chen nodded, this was his first time being a dad, and he didn't know how to coax a child.

Moreover, his daughter was evidently not ordinary, Ye Chen realized treating her like a kid would not be easy.

"Are you really my dad?" Ye asked adorably.

"Mm, I really am your dad!" Ye Chen earnestly replied.

"Weren't you in another world flirting, didn't want us anymore? Why did you come back? Did the girls dump you?" Ye asked.
