Chapter 1509 - 1508: Gave Him a Shot
"There's nothing abnormal about it. Xiao Bai shared with me what he experienced on the Moon. He told me that over there, they practice monogamy; a man can only marry one woman, otherwise, it's illegal. He also shared some other customs."What?
Monogamy?
Did Tang Xiaobai eat too much and feel restless or something? Why did he think of talking to Li Shengxuan about these things?
He didn't want to admit that he was indeed feeling a bit guilty right now. Why is it that he could take Li Shengxuan and the others to see Tang Renwang and Bai Yushu, but he's worried that the laws and customs on the Moon, which excessively restrict men, would corrupt Shengxuan and the others?
He should be thankful that Fang Jinxiu, someone from Blue Star, had long accepted the various women around Tang Rao and didn't bring those new-age monogamy ideas to Shengxuan and the others.
Otherwise, how could Tang Rao live so peacefully for so long?
"My dear Shengxuan, Xiao Bai is still young and doesn't understand things. You should be able to distinguish right from wrong. Don't believe whatever the child says. I've opened my heart to you, just hoping that you won't let some of Xiao Bai's words ruin our relationship."
Tang Rao appealed to emotions and logic, and after speaking for a long time, Li Shengxuan gave a nod that seemed both understanding and confused.
"Shengxuan, did you really understand what I said? Your expression and gaze make my heart feel uneasy."
Once again, Tang Rao received a bewildered nod.
"Although I don't know what Xiao Bai said that worried you, I really haven't thought too much about it. No matter how many women you have around you and how genuine your feelings are for them, it's not my concern. I just want to see you well. As long as you're safe and sound, I'm satisfied."
Shengxuan wanted to make her attitude clear to Tang Rao, to let him know how she felt about Tang Rao bringing back a bunch of women.
Tang Rao summed it up in two words: indulgence.
No matter what Tang Rao did outside, she would indulge him, giving him unprecedented freedom. Even if Tang Rao didn't have time to accompany her because of those women, it didn't matter.
"Don't worry, Shengxuan, I've always treated you all equally and would never let anyone suffer. You gave birth to Xiao Bai for me, and my feelings for you are different from those with others. When Xiao Bai grows up, neither of us will let you feel wronged."
With these words from Tang Rao, Shengxuan felt relieved.
She had thought many times that her Xiao Bai was Tang Rao's first son—a son so outstanding. Though only two years old, he behaved like a little adult and was far more mature and sensible than other children his age. She had never felt truly at ease with such a child, whether in the entire Divine Realm or in Zijing City alone.
She worried that someone with ill intentions might harm Xiao Bai or that Xiao Bai, lacking sufficient paternal care, might accidentally go astray.
Fortunately, none of these fears had come true so far.
"With your words, I'm relieved. Xiao Bai has always been a handful. I've always known his existence is extraordinary. I ask for nothing but that you protect Xiao Bai and keep him safe throughout his life. Don't let anything happen to him. He's my life, so don't let my life be lost."
Only mothers can understand this feeling. Just imagining something bad happening to their child one day is unbearable.
Tang Rao was taken aback by the intimidating aura that Li Shengxuan suddenly exuded.
Wait, Shengxuan is only at the middle divine stage. How can she emit such a terrifying aura at this particular moment? Even Tang Rao couldn't help but feel a shiver inside.
"Shengxuan, you?"
Tang Rao didn't continue to ask. He hadn't interacted with Shengxuan for a while. The last time he saw her, he didn't have this feeling. It wasn't until his return this time that he realized his Shengxuan wasn't quite the same.
His Shengxuan was a gentle woman, worried about everything and very timid. But the current Shengxuan, for Xiao Bai's sake, could unleash such an overwhelming aura.
If he were to compare the old Shengxuan with the present Shengxuan, Tang Rao would embarrassedly choose the latter.
An independent, resolute woman is more endearing and attractive to a man than a delicate one.
"Shengxuan, I'm your husband, and I ought to protect you. I'm Xiao Bai's father, and I ought to protect Xiao Bai. As long as I'm around, I won't let Xiao Bai suffer any harm, and it's the same for you. You won't feel wronged by my side."
"Mother, Xiao Bai caught the grasshoppers and came back. Are you two still not done talking?"
After Tang Rao emotionally finished his speech, just as he was about to end things with Shengxuan in a deep kiss, Xiao Bai burst through the door, leaving both Tang Rao and Shengxuan feeling embarrassed.
"You don't come back early, you don't come back late, and you come back now?"
Being caught by his son while about to share an intimate moment with his wife, he couldn't stop his face from turning red.
"Xiao Bai ran into your new woman outside, and she wanted the grasshopper in Xiao Bai's hand. Xiao Bai gave her a little punishment. If you're worried, you better go check on her soon. The power of the gun Godfather gave me is really strong. I just pulled the trigger to scare her, and she fell right over. She was totally useless."
Tang Xiaobai held a grasshopper in one hand and a gun in the other, not feeling any remorse for hurting someone with a gun.
To him, so what if he hurt someone? As long as he didn't like them or approve of them, it didn't matter if he hurt them all.
"What? You said you shot at Wang Han?"
The blood drained from Tang Rao's face. The gun was a gift from Yan Wei to Tang Xiaobai; it certainly wasn't ordinary. Xiao Bai even made a point to find Tang Rao, reminding him that Wang Han had collapsed on the ground.
What does this mean? It means Wang Han had been shot and collapsed, further indicating her injuries weren't minor.
Shengxuan was worried someone might harm Xiao Bai, but who would dare harm this little tyrant with his aura?
"Shengxuan, something's happened. I'll go check if Wang Han is dead. You, you brat, wait until I check the situation before I come back to deal with you."
Tang Rao was infuriated, but this was his son. Even if he was furious, he couldn't discipline Xiao Bai in front of Li Shengxuan.
"Father, that woman had no manners. I just taught her a small lesson. It seems she must have a high position in your heart?"
