My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 943: Offering Oneself
Moreover, Ji Lingkong had protected Ye Lu and the child, and he owed their family a great debt of gratitude.
This kind of favor was not easy to repay, but Ye Lu was equivalent to his own life. Since they saved Ye Lu, whatever they asked for, even if it necessitated him to do something as repayment, he would do so without any hesitation.
Ji Mo listened to his words and was utterly astonished.
"For her sake, you are willing to do anything as repayment, and you aren’t afraid that I might propose something very difficult? You should know that whatever the Ji Family asks for will never be simple."
"It doesn’t matter. As long as she is alive, then, based on this favor, it’s worth any conditions you might propose."
What could be more important than Ye Lu’s life? As long as it could save her, he was willing to pay any price.
"You’re really a tough guy, and that indeed demonstrates how important she is to you."
Ji Mo spoke in an approving tone because he could relate to these profound emotions, the kind where one is willing to pay any price for the sake of their beloved.
"However, it was Ling Kong who saved them, so the favor you owe is to that kid Ling Kong, and I, as the old dad, don’t have the right to demand anything. It depends on what that kid wants from you in return."
He guessed that the kid’s requests, cough cough... might involve that little girl, huh! He had always heard Bao’er excitedly babble in front of him about how they would have a cute and adorable little daughter-in-law in the future.
She also said proudly that when her own daughter gets married off, it would be just right to have a cute daughter-in-law come in, so it wouldn’t be a loss.
He could only laugh it off. Ling Kong was still so young, and yet she was already thinking about a daughter-in-law; is the tradition of child betrothal still popular in this era?
However, tonight he also noticed that little girl. Indeed, she was a pretty girl who looked like a doll, lively and adorable, intelligent and bold, a little princess who attracted attention the moment she appeared.
The most important thing was Ling Kong’s attitude towards this little girl. Although it was not yet love,
that tenderness and indulgence were genuine. At least, to that proud kid, it seemed like he did like that little girl—after all, aside from his mother and sister, he had little patience for other female creatures.
Being with the little girl, Ling Kong’s expression appeared so pure and joyous, finally having the simplicity and ease that a twelve-year-old should have, looking like an ordinary boy, no longer mature to a distressing extent.
Ji Mo felt a great sense of relief in his heart. He had always felt indebted to Ling Kong; the child had lived in hell for the first nine years of his life, enduring torture in a lab without parental protection, forced to grow up prematurely.
He was just a kid, yet his thinking and will were like those of an adult, his experiences more complex than an adult’s, bearing too much pain and a heavy past.
This child never had a childhood, missing all that is most important to a child.
But now, that little girl could make Ling Kong more like a normal boy, so joyous; he wouldn’t mind even if she were an alien, he would accept her.
This was a father’s wish for his child’s happiness and well-being.
"I will ask him what he wants for repayment, but I, Third Young Master Jun, also have my own bottom line." Third Young Master Jun was aware of the matter between girl Yiyi and Ling Kong and couldn’t help frowning.
If that kid Ling Kong were to make a request involving girl Yiyi committing herself to him because of this, he would never agree. He wouldn’t repay his debt of gratitude by selling his daughter. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Yiyi was still young, completely unaware of romance, merely in a playful, house-playing mindset.
He would hate to see his precious daughter trapped in a relationship from such a young age. What if she grows up and falls in love with someone else?
As a father, he would rather respect her own choices.
