How a Newbie Dad Takes Care of His Child

Ruan Shu's lips curved up as she quietly moved closer to her father.

When her father sat down, she went to pour water for him.

"Daddy, drink some water."

"Sit down, it's time for dinner."

Ruan Shu obediently nodded, then pushed the chair closer to him before sitting down quietly.

Ruan Xiao observed everything, and while he felt tenderness in his heart, there was also a peculiar sense of unease.

She was too restless, which is why she was trying so hard to get close to him.

Thinking of the woman who caused all this, Ruan Xiao's eyes flashed with coldness.

Dinner was sumptuous, and Ruan Shu was actually quite hungry, despite the butler's advice. She insisted on waiting for her father to come home before eating.

If her father didn't come home by nine o'clock, she thought she would eat by herself.

Fortunately, her father returned, and now she could eat with him and be happy.

With her eyes shining, Ruan Shu, the soft and sticky rice ball, was brimming with joy from head to toe.

She ate her food with great seriousness, as she had experienced hunger before and had been consuming low-nutrient supplements for so long that she felt like throwing up. Now, she cherished food even more.

Ruan Shu, who was eating earnestly, didn't notice her father's gaze falling on her several times, particularly on her round, white, soft cheeks filled with food.

When someone is eating deliciously in front of you, your appetite also increases.

For example, Ruan Xiao accidentally overate at dinner today.

Ruan Xiao "..."

Although he was a bit full, his expression didn't change, and he was already thinking about doing more exercise in the training room later.

After dinner, the father and daughter sat on the sofa. Ruan Xiao watched the national news on TV with a calm expression.

The little sticky rice ball sat quietly less than half a meter away from him, with her knees together and her hands placed on her knees. Her clear, clean, ocean-blue eyes were also fixed on the TV in front of her.

After a period of silence, Ruan Xiao sensed that something was amiss.

Although he already had three sons, all of them were strong, intelligent, and independent.

Ruan Xiao recalled how he interacted with his sons; it was always about training... and more training.

Father-son affection and similar sentiments seemed to play a minor role in their relationship.

Ruan Xiao thought to himself with an expressionless face, but he realized that such interactions were clearly not suitable for his daughter.

She was too young and too weak.

If they were his soldiers and were too weak, Ruan Xiao would simply provide them with additional training. But for his daughter…

This little, soft, white one. If he trained her, she would probably cry.

Reflecting on how pitiful and miserable she appeared when she cried this morning, he concluded that such treatment was not appropriate for her.

Despite already being a father of three sons, Ruan Xiao, the new dad, took out his personal terminal and, with a serious expression, posted his first-ever question on the star network, seeking advice from other parents.

Upon reading the comments, Ruan Xiao furrowed his brow tightly and glanced at the little one beside him.

She was so well-behaved that he didn't need to read any further.

After reading through the comments, Ruan Xiao paused thoughtfully.

Not a single one was useful, and even after reading them, he started to doubt whether his well-behaved, soft, and sticky child was even real.

"What's wrong, Daddy?"

This time, Ruan Xiao stared at her for a slightly longer period. Ruan Shu twisted her slender neck, gazing at him with her watery eyes, and asked in her gentle, childlike voice.

Her soft, sweet voice was so lovely to hear.

"Nothing."

He calmly withdrew his gaze, thinking that these online individuals were unreliable, and decided to consult a professional instead.

So, he found a parenting expert with a high rating online and sought advice.

"I don't know how to interact with my daughter." What should I do?

PE: "How old is your daughter?" "What is her personality like?"

"She's four years old and very quiet."

PE: "...Quiet?"

What did that have to do with the offspring of their Star Beast Clan?

"Yes, and she's very attached to me." For example, she waited for me to come home from work before having dinner today, and now she's sitting next to me watching TV, but I don't know how to talk to her.

He typed these words with a serious expression, just stating the facts, but the expert's response was dismissive.

PE: "Is this guy messing with me?" Delusional disorder is a form of mental illness. Are you being tormented by your own child to the point of experiencing hallucinations? I recommend seeing a psychiatrist first.

"..."

He was speaking the truth, so why didn't anyone believe him?

Ruan Xiao, the great Marshal, experienced speechlessness for the first time.

The netizens and the parenting expert were both unreliable. Ruan Xiao closed his personal terminal and looked at Ruan Shu.

"I'm going to training." "Do you want to come?"

Ruan Shu's bright blue eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.

"Yes!"

Her voice was soft and sweet, and her eyes were full of anticipation.

She jumped off the sofa and, with eager eyes, looked at her father.

Ruan Xiao stood up and reached out his hand to her.

Ruan Shu immediately placed her small hand on his, firmly grasping one of his fingers!

So happy!

If she had a tail, it would be wagging right now.

At this moment, Ruan Xiao felt a sense of warmth and happiness that he had never experienced before.
