Chapter 641: Must Protect Her Well

The boy went straight to the kitchen and instructed the chef in the villa to prepare some food.

Only just after coming out, he heard movement in the living room.

"Young Master, the Second Master is back."

Someone saw the little boy standing at the kitchen entrance and hurriedly greeted him.

Du She looked over accordingly, and upon seeing the little boy, immediately beckoned: "Xiaoshi, come here."

The boy, who was Xiaoshi, walked straight over and greeted him respectfully: "Hello, Father."

Du She nodded with satisfaction and patted the little boy on the shoulder.

"Not bad, you've grown a bit taller. I heard from your combat instructor that you've made great progress recently..."

"I still need to practice more."

Xiaoshi replied, still maintaining that rigid, serious demeanor.

The next second—a delicate, coquettish voice came from behind him.

"Second Master... you've finally returned. You had me worried for quite a while..."

Lu Qing'er had already dressed up, and as soon as she heard Du She was back, she rushed out of her room.

But she hadn't expected to see the boy who had just saved Tiantian talking to him.

Lu Qing'er acted coquettishly, leaned into Du She's arms, and probed: "Second Master, who is this..."

Du She took the opportunity to put his arm around her shoulder and introduced him proudly: "This is my son, and also my future successor..."

Lu Qing'er instantly revealed an expression of surprise, looking at Xiaoshi, whom she had previously disdained.

He was actually Du She's son?

But why had she never heard him mention it before?

It was a good thing she hadn't done anything to the boy just now... otherwise, right now...

Lu Qing'er felt a lingering fear and hurriedly tried to curry favor: "So it's the young master. No wonder he looks so talented. The first time I saw him just now, I felt that when the young master grows up, he will definitely be no ordinary person..."

As she spoke, she felt somewhat displeased inside.

She wondered which woman had given birth to this bastard for Du She...

No, if she wanted to consolidate her position by Du She's side, she had to bear him a child!

Then she would find a way to deal with this bastard and that cheap girl together!

Lu Qing'er thought about her plan, having already treated Xiaoshi as an enemy.

The few people who knew the situation just now immediately showed looks of disdain on their faces.

A flash of disgust also crossed the depths of Xiaoshi's eyes, but he said nothing.

Du She, however, was very satisfied with Lu Qing'er; in public, he kissed her on the face without any avoidance, then asked the people beside him: "Where is that girl?"

"She..."

The few people guarding the villa looked at Xiaoshi with some hesitation.

Du She raised an eyebrow and also looked at his son.

Xiaoshi remained calm and said in a low voice: "Father, she is at my place."

Lu Qing'er was still feeling annoyed that Xiaoshi had taken Tiantian away, so upon hearing this, she hurriedly added fuel to the fire: "Second Master, that little girl came back just now and was crying and making a scene. I wanted to teach her a lesson and wait for you to return to deal with her, but the young master seemed very interested and just took her away like that... he is still just a child, after all..."

"Oh? Is that so? You like her?"

Upon hearing this, Du She was not angry, but looked at Xiaoshi with some surprise.

Xiaoshi was slightly stunned, then kept a straight face and nodded quickly.

Du She's gaze flickered for a moment, a dark light passing through his eyes.

That little girl... he had originally intended to keep her to torture slowly, feed her drugs, wipe her memory, and have her join the Organization that trained assassins under him.

After she finished her training, he would use her to deal with Li Xiao and his group.

Being killed by their own daughter, that Li Beijue and his woman would surely be very gratified...

But if Xiaoshi liked her, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let him keep her as a plaything.

In another five or six years, he would also be at the age where he needed women.

It was just that the little girl's memory had to be wiped clean, though there was no rush for that now...

Anyway, as long as their daughter was in his hands, they would never have a day of peace!

Du She had other matters to attend to, so without much hesitation, he waved his hand and said: "If you like her, keep her. I have other things to handle; I'll check your current level when I have time."

"Very well, Father."

Xiaoshi silently breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Du She lead a group of people upstairs.

Lu Qing'er was somewhat unwilling, but since she couldn't say much, she could only follow Du She away with a fawning smile, silently marking this down in her heart.

Watching the group walk away, Xiaoshi hurriedly ran up to his room on the second floor.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Tiantian sitting obediently on the sofa, just as she had been when he left, not moving an inch.

"Brother, you're back."

Seeing him return, Tiantian's tense body relaxed significantly.

"Yes, the food will be ready soon. Let me apply some medicine for you first."

As he spoke, Xiaoshi found a small medicine kit in his bookshelf and took out some ointment for swelling.

He unscrewed the cap, squeezed a little onto his fingertip, and carefully touched Tiantian's cheek.

"Does it hurt?"

Xiaoshi asked softly.

"It doesn't hurt..."

Tiantian endured the pain and answered obediently.

Xiaoshi saw that she was holding back, so he immediately lightened his movements even more, his heart softening.

The little girl before his eyes was like a small dumpling, a kind of well-behaved cuteness he had never encountered before, making one want to protect her after just a single glance.

"Big brother... what is your name?"

Tiantian suddenly spoke up to ask, her tone showing much more trust in him than before.

Xiaoshi paused slightly, then suddenly pressed his lips together.

His name had long since...

Past events flashed rapidly through the boy's mind, a sharpness not belonging to his age appearing in his eyes before quickly dissipating.

He came back to his senses and then said in a low voice, "You can call me Xiaoshi."

"Shi? Which shi is it?"

Tiantian asked curiously again.

"The shi from stone," Xiaoshi replied.

Tiantian was taken aback upon hearing this, her expression unable to hide a sense of novelty: "Your surname is Stone? This is my first time hearing that! Then I'll call you Brother Shitou from now on!"

Xiaoshi's movement of putting away the medicine kit paused.

Shitou?

Wouldn't this name be a bit... too plain?

His expression was a little conflicted, but seeing Tiantian's eager and excited look, he had no choice but to agree: "As you wish, call me whatever you like."

"Okay! Brother Shitou! Thank you for saving me today and helping me apply the medicine!"

Tiantian said loudly in thanks.

Xiaoshi looked at the little girl's smiling face before him and felt inexplicably happy as well.

It was just that he was used to keeping a cold face, so he simply rubbed her little head gently.

Immediately after, he saw the little girl looking at him cautiously as she asked: "Brother Shitou, where is this place? Can you take me to see my daddy and mommy? If they can't find me, they will definitely be very worried..."

Xiaoshi's gaze flickered for a moment, his expression somewhat conflicted.

He had lived here for years, and the poisonous snake would not allow him to step out even a single step.
