After finishing her homework, Gong Youbo finally heard the story she had been looking forward to.
Especially when she heard about the hero saving the beauty from the kidnappers.
The little girl's beautiful eyes sparkled, completely captivated by the tale.
"You probably don't know, Youbo!"
"The two bad guys were driving carelessly, and after shouting 'Damn it,' they crashed into each other!"
"Just in time, if I hadn't saved your mama, there might not have been anything about you afterward..."
Mu An sat cross-legged, holding Gong Youbo in his arms, vividly recounting the past.
Unlike before, this time he didn't have to make anything up.
Because these were their own experiences!
"Hehe, I knew Daddy was the best!"
Little Youbo didn't hold back her admiration, clapping her small hands repeatedly.

…..
Mu An smiled slightly.
No wonder she was born from the combined fortune of him and Gong Nanyan!
Could this be considered fortune returning?
"What happened next? What happened next?"
Little Youbo was a bit impatient to know the next part of the story, urging Mu An to continue.
Mu An naturally wouldn't dampen her enthusiasm and continued to narrate the story.
"Later, after I saved your mama, I went to the bad guys' lair..."
Until he reached the part where he and she had to part ways, the little girl cried uncontrollably, no amount of coaxing worked.
"Woohoo, it's so touching! But why can't Daddy and Mama always be together?"
"Clearly, in the fairy tales I read, the prince and princess always have a happy ending!"
Gong Youbo wiped her tears with her small hands, her little nose and eyes red from crying.
[From Gong Youbo's sadness emotional fluctuation +50, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +200]!]
"So that's why it's a fairy tale described in books!"
"We've been trying to pursue a fairy tale ending, but not every story in the world has a happy ending!"
"Besides, I think imperfect stories are the true perfection!"
"It is precisely because of this imperfection that Youbo was born!"
"Letting you replace Daddy and stay by Mama's side, isn't that another kind of happiness?"
Mu An couldn't help but express his feelings.
But he had to admit, he indeed owed a lot to the mother and daughter!
Gong Youbo nodded, seeming to understand.
"But I still want to apologize!"
"I'm sorry! I missed out on a lot of companionship that should have belonged to me while Youbo was growing up!"
"I feel very... guilty!"
Mu An sincerely apologized.
And because he changed the timeline, Youbo went from being Long Haotian's daughter to being his 'daughter'!
So, this missing companionship became his responsibility!
Of course, it's also possible that from the very beginning, Gong Youbo was always his 'daughter' and had never changed!
After all.
Who can really say for sure about such things?
"Youbo has already forgiven Daddy!"
"At that time, Daddy must have had more important things to do and had to leave!"
"And just as Daddy said, during that time, Youbo replaced Daddy and stayed by Mama's side! This was a task unique to Youbo!"
"I did a great job for Daddy! Hehe, am I amazing?"
The little girl patted her flat little chest, speaking proudly.
"Youbo is amazing! Thank you, Youbo!"
Mu An was very touched by Gong Youbo's understanding and gave her a kiss on her tender little face.
This made her giggle.
"Daddy is so bad, always secretly taking advantage of Youbo!"
"I can't be at a disadvantage; I have to take it back!"
Smack~
Little Youbo naturally reciprocated, taking back what she called 'advantage.'
Watching this warm scene, Gong Nanyan felt a warmth in her heart.
If in the past she had held some grudges due to the fog obscuring her memories deep in her mind.
Now, the little bit of grudge she had was completely dissipated!
Her feelings for Mu An grew even deeper!

…..
By the time Mu An finished coaxing Gong Youbo to sleep and returned to the Mu family manor, it was already quite late.
But the lights in the living room were still on.
As if a lamp that would never extinguish, guiding the wanderer home!
Warm and cozy!
"Young Master!"
The little maid, Ning'er, softly called out to Mu An and brought him a pair of slippers to change into.
"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping? You don't have to wait for me!"
Mu An gently rubbed the girl's head, feeling a pang of heartache.
Clearly, her eyelids were drooping, and she was fighting off sleep.
Yet she still refused to go to bed, insisting on waiting for his return.
How could he not feel heartache and affection for such a considerate little girl?
"Waiting for the Young Master to return is one of my duties!"
"So, I'm fine! You don't need to worry about me! I'm not sleepy... Ha~"
Before she could finish her sentence, Ning'er couldn't help but yawn, and there were even a few sleepy tears at the corners of her eyes.
This moment of self-contradiction made Ning'er feel a bit embarrassed, her cheeks flushing slightly.
"Okay, okay, I know you're not sleepy!"
"But now, as your Young Master, I command you to go to sleep. That should be fine, right?"
"If you don't listen to the Young Master, then you're not a good maid!"
Mu An shrugged helplessly, not exposing her little thoughts, but to get her to listen, he had to bring up his 'status.'
"Mm! This is the Young Master's order, and Ning'er will definitely fulfill it later!"
Ning'er knew that Mu An was caring for her, and she couldn't help but smile sweetly.
But staying by his side and taking care of him was something she willingly did!
Recently, she had also recovered some forgotten memories.
For example, when she was a child, she had been kidnapped.
And Mu An appeared like a hero from the sky and saved her!
By the way, that day, she was wearing a pink dress...
