Chapter 14: The Overprotective Father_1

The adults burst into laughter as they saw Little Xingxing staring unblinkingly at Shen Wenzheng, teasing her, "Hey, Little Xingxing, do you think your second uncle is good-looking? Why are you staring at your second uncle without even blinking?"

"Exactly, Little Xingxing, come on, look over here, look over here..."

"Little Xingxing, your uncle is handsome too, quickly look at your uncle, look at your uncle..."

Grandma Shen looked at her newfound granddaughter, noticing her tender, fair skin and dark, clear eyes making her appear particularly sprite-like and vibrant, far more attractive than those newborn babies. She grew fonder the more she looked at her, feeling a surge of affection for this little girl who came into her life so unexpectedly.

"Come here, Little Xingxing, let grandma hold my little sweetheart..."

However, Shen Tianxing shook her head, not wanting grandma's embrace, but instead urgently tapped on Shen Wenru's arm and used Divine Sense Transmission Sound to say to her father, "Dad, Dad, second uncle has the aura of great nobility and can become a high-ranking official in the future, but he's facing a lethal calamity soon. It's a very scary one, can you find a way to warn him?"

Shen Wenru, hearing Shen Tianxing's voice in his mind and pondering over her words, was also shocked and turned to look at his second brother, Shen Wenzheng.

Indeed, his second brother Shen Wenzheng had a countenance that was well-suited for an official—square face, bright and piercing eyes, a high nose bridge, a resolute chin, exuding an innate commanding presence even without anger.

Seeing that now both Shen Tianxing and Shen Wenru were staring at Shen Wenzheng without blinking, everyone suddenly stopped laughing, and the atmosphere turned tense.

Shen Wenzheng remained calm, still smiling, and asked Shen Tianxing, "Little Xingxing, did some little flowers grow on your second uncle's face?"

Shen Tianxing gave Shen Wenzheng a big grin and then continued to tap on Shen Wenru, giving him a look that urged him to quickly warn Shen Wenzheng and help him avoid the impending calamity.

Urged by his daughter, Shen Wenru mulled over how he should break the news.

His little treasure really had an astonishing ability!

Would his family members be able to keep it to themselves if they knew about Little Xingxing's gift? Could they be trusted?

Shen Tianxing saw her father's conflicted and worried expression and guessed what he was thinking.

He must be concerned about her safety if he spoke up, right?

A warmth flashed through Shen Tianxing's heart.

She whispered to Shen Wenru using Divine Sense Transmission Sound again, "Dad, just say it. Grandpa and Grandma and your brother are all kind-hearted people; they won't harm me! You should try it and see if they believe what you say?"

Having heard what Shen Tianxing said, Shen Wenru finally nodded.

After clearing his throat, he tentatively asked Shen Wenzheng, "Second Brother, do the people at the Public Security Bureau believe in things of the supernatural?"

Shen Wenzheng's expression turned serious, "What are you asking this for?"

Shen Wenru replied solemnly, "Just tell me, Second Brother, do you or do you not believe in such supernatural things?"

Shen Wenzheng glanced at him and said gravely, "In this world, there are many things that science can't fully explain. Do you understand what I mean?"

Elder Shen also chimed in, "Wenru, if you have something to say, just say it clearly. Our family is all here today, and we can discuss it together."

Grandma Shen added, "Your father is right, Wenru, if you have something to say, just speak up. I can't guarantee anything else, but I can say our family's hearts are in unity. Your father and I have always been proud of you all; don't worry, no matter how serious it is, you have us to support you!"

Shen Tianxing found new respect for Grandma Shen after hearing her resolute words.

It turns out that affection for children is a tradition in their family!

Shen Wenjun, Ma Hongying, and Shen Wenzheng's wife, Sun Yazhi, although silent, were nodding, indicating their agreement with Elder Shen, Grandma Shen, and Shen Wenzheng.

Shen Wenru then asked them, "You all should have heard about last night's incident, which was discovered by Little Xingxing. Actually, there's another thing I haven't mentioned to you all."

Everyone asked in unison, "What happened?"

Shen Wenru picked up Shen Tianxing and smiled at them, "Our little treasure here, she really is a gift from heaven!"

The family, having heard such solemnity only to be followed by that line, all laughed.

Grandma Shen chuckled, "Isn't every little treasure sent down from heaven?"

Seeing his mother's response, Shen Wenru realized they had misunderstood and quickly added, "What I mean is, our little Xingxing here is like a fairy who has descended from the heavens. You all may think she's just a little kid, but she's got some real abilities."

The Shen family members now also realized that the youngest son had become a crazed protector of his daughter!

In his eyes, his precious daughter was the absolute best!

She was their little lucky star sent from heaven!

She was also a little fairy who had descended to earth!

Seeing his family looking at him speechlessly, Shen Wenru was speechless as well.

Why didn't they believe what he was saying?

Everything he said was true!

Shen Tianxing, looking at her father with sympathy, couldn't hold back and started giggling "giggling."

Her crisp and tender laughter, sweet as intoxicating wine, instantly warmed everyone's hearts.

Shen Wenru, who had worn a sorrowful expression, instantly felt all his worries wash away upon hearing the delightful laughter of his precious daughter.

He asked Shen Tianxing with deliberate sorrow, "Little Xingxing, are you also going to laugh at Daddy?"

Shen Tianxing shook her little head.

Suddenly, she stretched out her little hand and pointed, and the wine cup in front of Elder Mr. Shen instantly flew up into the air.

Aside from Shen Wenru and Li Xiuxia, who already knew about Shen Tianxing's abilities, all the Shen family members were shocked, their eyes widened as they stood petrified, unable to react for a long time.

The expressions on Shen Wenru and Li Xiuxia's faces weren't good either.

What was the child doing?

Hadn't they told her not to show her abilities?

Why was she acting on her own again?

Shen Wenru secretly pinched Little Tianxing.

In his mind, the delicate voice of Shen Tianxing rang out, "Daddy, don't worry, Baby knows what she's doing!"

Hearing her say this, Shen Wenru could only suppress his anxiety and let her take charge.

Meanwhile, in Elder Mr. Shen's mind, the sweet voice of Shen Tianxing also sounded, "Grandpa, have a drink!"

Elder Mr. Shen was greatly surprised, wailing in his heart: It's over, it's all over, not only are my eyes blurry, but now I'm hallucinating sounds too, what am I to do? Is it really because I'm getting old?

But then something happened that made the old man's heart race even more!
