The little puppy wagged its tail and watched as she walked away freely. It couldn’t help but think that perhaps all the villains’ children were carefree and decisive like this.

“Woof.” It barked and gestured Ye Sang to follow it.

As the king of dogs that her grandpas had elected, it could at least show her the quickest route to leave.

There were bodyguards at the Mu family, plus the people Huo Yao and Shen Chuchen brought over.

It was harder than climbing the sky for normal people to escape.

But Ye Sang was different.

Strictly speaking, the little puppy was a product of high technology and it was a special script placed in this novel’s world.

It could calculate their escape route in a few seconds and leave with her easily.

The little thing followed the puppy with her short legs.

The moon was shining bright in the sky. After climbing out from a dog hole from the back door, Ye Sang’s light blue dress was dirty and the puppy’s curly fur was black too.

The two looked rather pitiful.

The little thing squatted down and poked the puppy with her soft little hand, becoming bolder as she left the mansion.

“Where are we going?” Her milky voice sounded melancholic.

The puppy thought: I wouldn’t be standing here if I knew where we were going.

It nudged Ye Sang with its head and wagged its tail, “Woof.”

—— Did you bring money?

The little thing understood what it said and swayed her head. She mimicked the way male protagonist spoke in dramas and humphed, “Money?”

“What is that?”

“Do I, Ye Aotian, need something dirty like money?”

Puppy: “…”

The little thing acted vividly. She raised her chin and her eyes were bright and clear:

“Don’t try to stain me this kind of dirty thing.”

Puppy: “…”

Sure, it understood what she meant.

But this kid didn’t bring any money with her.

It felt exhausting.

Wasn’t money the most basic thing to pack when running away from home? Why do you have a bunch of meat buns and random toys?

Ye Sang didn’t know that the puppy was crumbling down and picked it up, holding it in her arms. She patted her full bag and ran outside confidently.

Her grandpas had to send her to Daddy Huo’s office, but she didn’t need them this time.

She will do it herself.

The puppy fell into her arms lifelessly and suddenly felt a regret it had never felt before.

Well, she didn’t have to go look for the other two. The three she has now are all rich, isn’t nice to spend a retired life in the mansion? Why would she look for her other dads!?

But the arrow was already on the bow and there was no turning back. If they went back now, they would have to face three dark villains.

And Ye Sang would probably get beaten by all three of them at the same time.

So…

They couldn’t possibly go back.

Midnight in the city was brightly lit. All the street lights were dazzling and small lanterns were hung in front of shops of different sizes.

It was the little thing’s first time seeing colorful lanterns like this. She squatted in front of a shop’s sign and watched it curiously like an educated bun.

The appetizing smell of barbeque floated into her nose and Ye Sang covered her starving stomach. She blinked her dark cat eyes and convinced herself that she wasn’t hungry.

She was a five-year-old child with her curly hair tied into a bun, a delicate and small face, and the clear, black cat eyes under her curly lashes.

A few girls who sat by the barbeque stall eating lamb skewers and drinking looked at Ye Sang. Seeing that the little girl tilted her head and looked over, someone immediately covered their face,

“Ahhhh how is she so cute?”

“Whose child is that? Why is there no one with her?”

“I watched her squatting there for a few minutes now, her poor eyes made my heart tremble.”

Someone made a guess in a small voice, “Did she separate from her mom?”

Another person nudged the girl and whispered, “Hey sis, why don’t you go and ask her?”

The girl rolled her eyes, “What if she thinks I’m a child trafficker?”

It was true.

If her parents came and saw this, they would probably misunderstand them.

The girl fangirling over Ye Sang covered her face and stood up while humphing, “I’ll go if you guys aren’t going.”

She was a sucker for good looks and furry things, and the little girl just happened to be the type she loved.

The girl walked down and squatted down while asking gently, “Little sister, where’s your mom?”

The little thing was sorrowfully drawing circles on the ground and when she heard another voice, she replied crisply, “Mommy isn’t here…”

“What about your dad?”

Ye Sang was sensitive to human emotions and she could tell that this person didn’t have any evil intentions towards her.

The little thing shook her head, “Daddy isn’t here either.”

Well.

The girl confirmed that she definitely got lost.

She immediately held Ye Sang’s soft little hand and asked in a soft voice, “What’s your name? Do you remember your daddy and mommy’s phone number?”

They’ll have to ask the police to help them if they couldn’t find her parents.

The little thing replied, “My name is Ye Sang.”

The girl nodded, “Sangsang, right? Are you hungry?”

She brought Ye Sang back to the table and her friends were shocked that she really brought the child back.

“Damn, did you actually kidnap her?”

The girl pouted and argued back, “What do you mean by kidnap? She can’t find her parents.”

She smiled and blinked as she introduced herself, “Sangsang, you can call me Sister Liu.”

“Sister Liu…” The little thing repeated with a milky voice. She then nodded and glanced at all the people who were looking at her.

Xiao Liu saw that she was cute and passed some skewers they just ordered over, “Are you hungry?”

“Yes.” Ye Sang swallowed and her dark eyes were clear. She looked down and recalled what her mommy used to teach her, “Sangsang will give it back to sister…”

But it was a question of how she was going to return it because she didn’t have any money.

The little thing clenched her bag sorrowfully.

“Sangsang will give it back to sister…”

Xiao Liu didn’t take her words seriously and rubbed her head with a smile, “Okay.”

The little girl felt relieved and started eating a lamb skewer happily. Her cheeks puffed from food and her eyes were full of satisfaction.

Xiao Liu smiled and gave her a glass of water. Her friends all sat around them and started scrolling on their phones out of boredom.

“… Oi oi oi, look, you guys.”

The girl passed her phone to Xiao Liu and mumbled, “Team HL got exposed. Apparently, God Su was involved in match-fixing.”
