Yue'er glared at him indignantly, watching helplessly as her dagger was confiscated, her teeth gritted in fury.

At those words, Yue'er's little head ducked back instinctively. Oh no, oh no—this time she'd been found out.
Xiao Junyan watched the little creature cowering silently, a faint curve lifting the corners of his lips. Even that slight shift startled Xiao Junying standing before him.
Had he seen correctly? Junyan had smiled?
His gaze shifted to the little girl nestled in his arms. Was it because of this child?
"She came with me," Xiao Junyan stated, cradling the plump little doll. Her soft, squishy body felt incredibly comforting to hold, so he kept her close. Turning his attention back to the two in front of him, his expression turned stern as he reprimanded them.
