Chapter 476: Chapter 476: He Doesn’t Like Xiaocong

Rong Shaoze raised an eyebrow, a sinister cold smile forming on his lips, "Well, that depends on how serious your crimes are."

Tao Hua mourned internally, wondering why Xu Yao hadn’t returned yet. Facing two against one was always better than going into this fight alone.

A lenient sentence for those who confess, a severe one for those who resist.

He decided to be a good citizen just this once.

"Heh, it’s actually not that big of a deal. Besides what I’ve already told you, there’s just one more thing... I lied to Lin Xinlan, telling her you were dead, and I didn’t allow her to enter the ward to see for herself. I just wanted to make her cry... so that when you came back, upon seeing her in such sorrow, you’d think she really wanted to marry Qiao Yiyang... Haha, that’s it, I swear. There’s nothing else... Haha, isn’t it just a small joke? Women, after all, tend to cry a lot. Crying more is good for the body. Especially for someone like her who doesn’t cry often, holding it in for too long can lead to sickness. It was for her own good. Once she cries, she won’t feel as repressed inside..."

The more Tao Hua explained, the less confident he sounded, as Rong Shaoze’s face became increasingly stormy.

"Huh," he laughed coldly, a murderous intent rising in his eyes.

"A small joke? Your small joke almost hurt my son, your small joke now has both mother and child treating me like air, like an enemy. What a truly ’small’ joke indeed. Let’s go, I’ve decided to get in some practice after all."

Rong Shaoze’s fists cracked as he clenched them, itching to teach this guy a lesson!

Tao Hua glanced at him very calmly, and asked with equal calmness, "Are you sure you want me to be your sparring partner? Just now, someone kicked a little kid and a certain woman is worried that her son might have internal bleeding. She needs a genius doctor to examine him. Do you really think that these perfect hands of mine are meant for fighting rather than performing surgeries?"

"..."

He’s ruthless!

Lin Xinlan and Xiaocong had their warm meals, bathed, changed clothes, and went to bed to sleep.

So much had happened today, the child was tired, and so was she.

Both lying in bed under the blankets, holding each other quietly without speaking, their minds were filled with thoughts of Rong Shaoze. His presence had changed their moods dramatically.

He had such a strong presence that they both felt life was meaningful with him around, giving them the drive to do anything.

But the thought of what he had done today spoiled their mood.

He didn’t like Xiaocong, did he really not?

Xiaocong felt a little sad inside, and so did Lin Xinlan. Rong Shaoze’s reaction was completely different from what they had anticipated.

That excitement and joyous incoherence that they expected hadn’t shown on him at all.

The more they thought about it, the more aggrieved they felt.

Forget it, enough thinking, time to sleep!

Lin Xinlan gently patted Xiaocong’s back, and he closed his eyes, quickly falling into a deep sleep.

As the sky darkened, Lin Xinlan zoned out for a while before closing her eyes and falling asleep too.

She felt relaxed, all the long-term worries that had been suppressed in her heart were gone.

Rong Shaoze was alive, he would protect her and Xiaocong from now on, she wouldn’t have to marry Qiao Yiyang, nor worry about Xiaocong’s safety in life.

More importantly, there was no longer a need to hide Xiaocong’s matters, nor fear Rong Shaoze finding out.

Now, she truly felt light-hearted, and as she relaxed, sleep came easily to her.

So deeply did she sleep that she was unaware of someone pushing open the bedroom door, oblivious to the presence of someone sitting down beside her.
