Yu Shanhe quietly pushed open his daughter's bedroom door.
Niannian had just fallen asleep. Hearing the noise at the door, she forced herself to open her eyes.
Her obsidian-like eyes were misty, and there were still tears at the corners of her eyes from yawning due to extreme tiredness.
Her pink little mouth opened unconsciously, and her fair and tender little face flushed.
She looked extremely cute.
This was the cute sight that greeted Yu Shanhe when he opened the door.
The old father's heart melted.
"Baby, did Daddy wake you up? I'm sorry..."
Coming back to his senses from the thought that his daughter was so soft and cute, Yu Shanhe suddenly realized that he might have done something wrong.
He had disturbed his daughter's sleep.
He stood at the door, feeling at a loss.
This elegant and mature man over 1.8 meters tall, the big CEO who usually called the shots in the company, lost all his imposing manner at this moment.
It was as if he was the child and Niannian was the parent about to scold him.
"No, I'm not very sleepy. Daddy didn't disturb me."
Niannian smacked her little lips twice and keenly noticed her father's low mood.
She tried to open her eyes wider to look more energetic.
Well, she could feel that Daddy really loved her.
She loved Daddy too.
So she had to cheer Daddy up and not let him be so sad.
Yu Shanhe could clearly see that his little daughter was being insincere even though her eyes were wide open like copper bells.
A warm current flowed through his heart, but he also felt more guilty.
Alas, his daughter had just come back. Not only did he not have time to accompany her, but he had also been so excited that he had forgotten the time and disturbed his daughter so late at night.
"Daddy, did you encounter something?"
After opening her eyes wider, Yu Niannian could clearly see her father in front of her.
Well, the golden protective light on the safety talisman she had given was gone.
This meant that Daddy had used up the safety talisman.
Daddy must have encountered something.
Being asked this by his daughter, Yu Shanhe finally came to his senses and remembered the main thing.
Yu Sheng rushed up from downstairs in a hurry, wanting to go in and complain to his father.
Unexpectedly, his father took a step into Niannian's room without even looking back, and then closed the door behind him.
Yu Sheng, who had just arrived, almost had his nose smashed by the door. He stood there in shock looking at the closed door.
When he wanted to go in, he found that the door had been locked by his father from the inside.
Yu Sheng was extremely angry but helpless.
He stood outside the door with a gloomy face. After hesitating for a long time, he finally left.
Yu Shanhe didn't even notice his son behind him. Even if he had, he wouldn't have cared.
Right now, his whole heart and mind were on his daughter Niannian.
Everyone else had to take a backseat.
Yu Shanhe walked to Niannian's bedside, pulled out the stool beside it and sat down. Then he said gently, "Niannian, do you still have that talisman paper you gave Daddy today? Can you give Daddy another one?"
He didn't tell his daughter about the suspected encounter with a ghost today.
The image of that ghost was really terrifying.
Even as an adult man, he still felt horrified just thinking about it.
He definitely couldn't tell his little daughter about it in the middle of the night. What if it scared her?
So he just wanted a safety talisman.
With the safety talisman, he wouldn't have to be afraid of that kind of thing anymore.
"Yes, Daddy. You can have as many as you want. Well... but... if Daddy only wants the safety talisman, it can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. We have to find out the root cause of the thing that wants to harm you to avoid such things from happening again."
Even if Yu Shanhe didn't say anything, little Niannian could figure out what had happened today.
To be precise, before Daddy went out, she had already seen that Daddy was bound to have a disaster involving bloodshed today.
If he was unlucky, this disaster might even cost Daddy his life.
So she had taken out her own safety talisman and given it to Daddy.
Originally, she had thought that as long as Daddy got through tonight safely, his disaster would be over.
But unexpectedly, now that she saw Daddy, he still had a blackened forehead and a faint aura of death.
He could die at any time because of various accidents or disasters.
"My little baby, do you know what happened to Daddy today?"
Yu Shanhe didn't know about his daughter's abilities and was a little surprised by the implications in her words.
"Yeah! I know. Daddy met a really bad and dirty thing today. That dirty thing wanted to harm Daddy and make Daddy die. But that dirty thing has already been completely destroyed."
Yu Niannian raised her head and chest and told her father clearly what she had calculated.
This surprised Yu Shanhe even more.
Why did his little daughter describe it as if she had been there in person?
"Baby, how do you know?"
"I calculated it. It's not difficult. It's just basic for a Taoist priest."
Niannian said it matter-of-factly, which shocked Yu Shanhe.
He had seen so - called masters before.
People in business more or less believed in some mysticism.
Especially those in the real - estate business like him. They had to find a master to calculate things like the location for building a house and the start - up time, or arrange some feng shui layout.
But all the masters he had met spoke vaguely. Even those he was on good terms with would tell him that sometimes they didn't deliberately speak vaguely. It was just that what they could see was limited.
Even when calculating a person's past, they could only figure out that something had happened to the person at a certain moment.
They couldn't specifically figure out what exactly had happened to the person.
Only those with profound skills could accurately calculate the specific events.
And his little daughter could calculate so specifically.
How could he not be surprised?
"Daddy, don't be afraid. I'm a Taoist priest. I can help Daddy drive away those bad and dirty things and help Daddy get through difficulties!"
Seeing that her father didn't say a word for a long time, Niannian thought he was scared by today's incident.
She quickly comforted him.
Well, Master had said that it was hard for ordinary people to accept seeing a ghost for the first time. Some people might even be a bit crazy due to excessive shock.
As Taoist priests who helped others deal with things, they not only had to protect ordinary people, punish the evil and promote the good, but also take care of their feelings and make them feel at ease.
"Daddy's not scared. Daddy just didn't expect our baby to be so amazing. I'm just a little surprised for a moment."
The way his little daughter comforted him with her soft and cute voice and patted her chest to promise really melted Yu Shanhe's heart.
The shock he had felt when seeing the ghost just now disappeared, and his heart was filled with the joy of his daughter's thoughtfulness.
"Of course. Master also said I'm really amazing! Master said he's never seen a disciple more talented than me. And my senior brothers can't beat me either!"
Little Niannian was not modest at all when being praised.
She wasn't the kind of person who liked to pretend. She just accepted the praise when it was given, especially since the praise was true.
Yu Niannian raised her little head. Her eyes sparkled, and her little face was full of pride. She radiated a confident glow.
This confidence was not arrogance. Instead of being annoying, it made people think she was extremely cute.
Yu Shanhe liked his confident little daughter and couldn't help feeling proud.
"Yes, our baby is the most amazing. So baby, how should we solve the problem from the root cause?"
