Chapter 253 Only When You Lose It Do You Realize Its Value

As Xia Rong was playing with the two kittens born to Hei Niu in a small pavilion, one of Emperor Xia's men in black was carrying Xiao Furong past her.

Hey! Why do you two look so listless? Have you been unhappy because you haven't seen your mother for several hours?

Xia Rong gently stroked the kitten with her hand and asked softly.

But your mommy still clings to her stinky daddy! Little one, don't you think your mommy is really embarrassing? She's already a mother, why is she still so attached to her daddy?!

After saying this, Xia Rong gently pinched the kitten's head with two fingers and shook it.

Ah! Why is that? Little one, can you tell me why your mom isn't blushing?

After Xia Rong finished speaking, she put the kitten to her ear, as if listening to what the kitten was saying to her.

Oh! Oh! Oh! What are you saying? Can you please speak a little louder?

So you mean the reason your mother is so attached to your grandfather is because he dotes on her so much, right?

Xia Rong gently pinched the kitten's head with two fingers and nodded.

Xia Rong's action terrified Tao Zi, who was standing next to her! She had thought that her young mistress had become like this because she had heard Mu Long say many hurtful things to her.

She had originally wanted to say something to comfort the young lady, but she didn't know what to say! Because she knew that the young lady had fallen deeply in love with a man named Mu Long a long time ago.

Because the young lady was afraid of losing him, she buried her love deep in her heart.

Haha! Peach, do you find this funny? This little kitten isn't a little hibiscus, how could it possibly answer the questions I asked it?

Miss, since you liked Xiao Furong so much, why did you give the little one to Mu Long in the first place?

That's because Mu Long said that Xiao Furong is a little female cat, and if he can treat Xiao Furong like me, then he can hold me in his arms at any time.

Haha! So why is Mu Long still calling himself Little Furong's dad? Isn't he obviously taking advantage of our little miss?

Xia Rong couldn't help but sigh deeply. "Don't you think that most of the time Mu Long really treats me like his precious daughter and spoils me?"

Sometimes I think I was really stupid! How could I lose someone who loved me so much? When I found out that my father was going to harm Mu Long, if I had desperately tried to stop him, would my relationship with Mu Long still be okay?

Miss, if I may say something I shouldn't, if Mu Long truly loved you, he wouldn't have given up on your relationship just because our master wanted to harm him.

But we can all see how much Mu Long dotes on me! Besides, we've lived together since we were little, how can I just let go of the feelings between us like that?

Meow! Meow!

Two adorable meows reached Xia Rong's ears. At first, Xia Rong thought they were coming from the two kittens she was holding. So she gently patted the two little kittens.

Oh! Oh! Oh! You two little ones, be good! I'll carry you to find your mother and grandmother in a bit, okay?

Miss, are you going to take Blackie to see the Master later? Have you forgotten that the Master specifically told you not to go to him?

Haha! He's my own father, why can't I go see him? Or is he going to do something behind my back to hurt Mu Long again?

Thinking of this, Xia Rong quickly put the two little kittens she was holding into Taozi's arms and hurriedly stood up.

Oh dear! My young lady, please wake up! Have you forgotten how Mu Long treated you this evening? I've never seen Mu Long like that before!

Haha! Maybe I really broke his heart, that's why he acted like this? Otherwise, he would have called me in such a gentle voice as soon as he saw me before. And he would have brought me my favorite candied hawthorns!

Hi! My dear young lady, isn't it easy for you to want candied hawthorns? We'll go home as soon as Master finishes his business. Shall we leave this troublesome place?

Peach, are you being a little silly? It's already evening! How can we possibly go back now? Have you forgotten? Every time Daddy brings me to the Guanyin Temple, we stay for a few days.

But I really don't want to stay under the same roof as Mu Long! I think we should go back as soon as possible.

Hehe! Cute little Peach, what do you mean by that? Could it be that you, little girl, have also fallen in love with Mu Long behind my back?

Miss, what are you thinking? How could I possibly fall for the man you used to like?

Oh! Really? If you hadn't brought this up, I would have been playing matchmaker! But don't you think Mu Long is a very good man?

If you marry him, I guarantee you will have a happy and fulfilling life!

Miss, are you feeling particularly bored right now? So you're starting to tease me to relieve your boredom?

Jingle bells! Jingle bells!

Just as Xia Rong was about to say something to Taozi, she heard a clear and melodious bell sound coming from not far away. This reminded Xia Rong of the pair of small bells that Xiao Furong wore on her thighs.

When Xia Rong hung a pair of small bells on Long Long and Xiao Furong's thighs, she had a big argument with Mu Long about it.

She felt that tying a pair of small bells to the kitten's thighs would make the kitten very uncomfortable. Don't do anything that might harm a kitten just because of your own momentary whim.

Mu Long, however, had a different idea! He wanted his and Xia Rong's kittens to be special, and besides, if they accidentally lost the two little guys that day, they could find them by their little bells.

Xia Rong pondered for a moment after hearing Mu Long's words, but ultimately agreed with his idea.

But the string tied to the two kittens' thighs must be long! That way it won't hurt the kittens.

Miss, did you hear a strange sound? It's like the sound of a little bell!

Could it be that some ghost is hovering around us right now? But we're right near Guanyin Cat!

Haha! Little Peach, who told you that there are definitely no ghosts near the Guanyin Temple? Can't these ghosts come to the temple to burn incense, worship Buddha, and pray for peace, just like us?

Upon hearing Xia Rong's words, Taozi immediately felt a chill run down her spine as a cold wind swept over her.
