"Uncle Qin, will you take me surfing?" Rong Doudou, held in Qin Yunxi's arms, made a final plea.
Her daddy couldn't even walk properly, how could he take her to play?
She didn't want him to, she didn't want him to...
Qin Yunxi flicked the little girl's nose. "You dislike your daddy that much?"
Rong Doudou: "Mmm!"
Qin Yunxi laughed heartily. "Alright, you play with your daddy for a bit. If you don't like it, I'll take you then?"
Rong Doudou clung to Qin Yunxi, acting spoiled. "No, no, I only want to play with you."
Rong Jingyang, standing nearby and overhearing their conversation: "—"
A dark line creased his forehead. His voice was slightly stern. "Doudou!"
Rong Doudou, startled, hugged Qin Yunxi tightly and wailed. "I don't want Daddy, I hate Daddy!"
"I only want to play with Uncle Qin!!!!"
Daddy is a bad guy, he wants to yell at her, hit her, *sob*...
She wanted to complain to Grandma!
Qin Yunxi held the little girl and soothed her. "Okay, okay, don't be scared. Doudou is a good girl."
What should he do in this situation? He was at a loss.
Rong Jingyang's face also turned as cold as an ice cellar. He—
He had practiced all afternoon to accompany her!
His body was covered in scars!
He had fallen countless times, and changed the surfboard how many times? Ever since this little rascal arrived, she had been looking down on him in every way...
Du Ruoxin's scalp tightened upon hearing Rong Jingyang's commanding voice.
It's like this again!
Rong Jingyang, can't you communicate with your daughter properly?
Can't you speak a little more gently?
She might be used to his fiery temper, but that didn't mean Doudou was!
Little girls need coaxing, you know!
She walked up to the man in a few steps and said, "Brother Qin, you take Doudou to play first."
Rong Jingyang shot a sharp gaze at Du Ruoxin—Woman, are you here to help or to cause trouble?
If Doudou plays with Old Qin, will she still play with him?
Du Ruoxin met his gaze. "You should go into the sea too."
Rong Jingyang: "???"
Qin Yunxi winked at Du Ruoxin, instantly understanding. "Alright, let's go into the sea together."
Rong Doudou was overjoyed. "Yay! Let's go, let's go, let's go surfing."
Du Ruoxin cast a grateful glance at Qin Yunxi.
Qin Yunxi smiled, holding the little girl, and walked towards the sea first. "Let's go!"
Rong Jingyang watched their retreating figures, his brows furrowed.
Du Ruoxin sighed, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said softly, "Mr. Rong, you can't force children. You need to use a gentle approach."
The man still looked confused. "Hmm?"
Du Ruoxin explained, "Doudou is stubborn, just like you. No one can force her to do something she doesn't want to do."
Although Rong Doudou was only a little over three years old, she was very opinionated, even more decisive than some adults.
"Of course, you can also be forceful and pick her up."
"But would you want to see your daughter crying her eyes out?"
Of course not.
"Hey, Old Yang, hurry up! What are you dawdling for!" Qin Yunxi's voice came from a distance.
Rong Jingyang seemed to understand. He put his arm around Du Ruoxin's waist. "Coming!"
After putting on the life jacket and stepping onto the specially made surfboard, Rong Jingyang held the rope.
With a roar from the yacht, the two men and Rong Doudou became one with the sea surface like flying figures.
In the afterglow of the sunset, Du Ruoxin watched their receding figures, her smile widening.
So, he didn't let her come in the afternoon because he was secretly practicing surfing by the sea?
Was he afraid she would see his awkward moments and laugh at him?
Even without Rong Jingyang saying a word, Du Ruoxin knew how much he had sacrificed to be able to stand on the sea with his daughter.
Imagine, if it were her, with such a severe leg injury, let alone performing a difficult move like surfing, even standing on a surfboard would be a problem.
She certainly couldn't do it!
Du Ruoxin felt a warmth in her heart, filled with emotion.
【Rong Jingyang, you can be a good husband, a good father, can't you?】
