Chapter 1945: Are You Hiding Something from Me?

The yacht approached the big ship, and Xiao Lingzhi boarded with a big purple rabbit in her arms.

Little Taotie: "You... this rabbit?"

"My grandfather made it, isn’t it nice?" Xiao Lingzhi showed off her big rabbit.

Little Taotie pursed her lips, her eyes full of envy.

Xiao Lingzhi covered her mouth and laughed, leaning in close to her ear: "I heard Grandfather Tao went to my house today to learn some tricks."

"Learn some tricks?"

"You little dummy, isn’t your birthday coming up too?"

Little Taotie’s face blushed: "He... is he going to make a rabbit for me too?"

"Of course not!"

Little Taotie’s big eyes blinked: "Then what’s he making?"

"I promised Grandfather Tao I wouldn’t say," Xiao Lingzhi’s eyes shifted as she smiled mischievously, "but I’m closer to you! Haha, of course, I’ll spill the beans!"

Little Taotie was amused and patted her little rabbit, "Come on, tell me quickly!"

Xiao Lingzhi whispered mysteriously: "What’s your zodiac sign?"

Little Taotie’s eyes sparkled, like countless little stars shining within, her childish voice excited: "Leo! Is he going to make a plush lion for me? Is it going to be this big too?"

The rabbit Xiao Lingzhi was holding had long ears and long legs, almost half her height.

Xiao Lingzhi shook her head: "I don’t know about that. I just know he’s pretty clumsy and kept pricking his fingers, so my grandpa scolded him, hahaha..."

Xiao Lingzhi laughed heartily, but Little Taotie couldn’t bring herself to laugh, feeling a bit sorry for her grandpa, her childish voice soft: "Actually, I don’t... really want a lion that big. A smaller one would be okay, it doesn’t have to be a big lion..."

"Little Taotie, is this your good friend?" Ghost Enforcer Uncle approached her: "Hurry and introduce us!"

Xiao Lingzhi couldn’t see Ghost Enforcer Uncle and wasn’t aware he was almost face-to-face with her.

Little Taotie reached out to tug on Ghost Enforcer Uncle’s clothes, pulling him back, and whispered: "Don’t make trouble!"

"Huh?" Xiao Lingzhi asked in confusion: "What did you say?"

Little Taotie shook her head quickly: "Nothing."

Xiao Lingzhi leaned in suspiciously, poking Little Taotie’s cheek: "Come on, are you hiding something from me? Your eyes can’t lie. Look how guilty you are!"

Little Taotie’s eyes darted around, unable to meet Xiao Lingzhi’s gaze.

"Tell me quickly, what are you hiding from me? Come clean, and I’ll go easy on you!" Xiao Lingzhi teasingly rolled up her sleeves, "Or else I’ll have to resort to some harsh measures!"

Little Taotie pressed her lips together, turning into a silent gourd.

"Alright! You really won’t tell me? Then don’t blame me!"

Xiao Lingzhi breathed on her little hands and suddenly went for Little Taotie’s belly!

"Tell me, quickly confess what you’re hiding!"

"Hee hee hee..."

"Still not telling? Let’s see how long you can keep your mouth shut!"

"Hee hee hee... stop... hee hee hee..."

"I won’t stop! If you don’t tell me, I won’t stop! Quickly confess what big secret you’re hiding. Let’s see how stubborn your mouth really is!"

"Stop stop...hee hee hee... I’m going to... fight back..."

"Ouch! You dare to sneak attack me... haha... stop..."

The two little girls burst into giggles, their laughter innocent and merry.

A "Crew Member" stood next to Lu Yuan, who was acting as "Captain" at the moment, and asked: "Is this going to be a problem?"

"It’s fine."

"We’re almost at the destination; she’s not part of the crew, so it’s better for her to leave. If anything happens, she might get dragged into it."

"I’ve got it under control, you go ahead."

After the "Crew Member" left, Lu Yuan found Hua Jinyan and said solemnly: "It’s about time, it’s best to let her leave."

"It’s difficult." Hua Jinyan knew Xiao Lingzhi well and knew she wouldn’t leave alone.

After a moment of silence, Lu Yuan spoke carefully: "Let Little Taotie leave with her."
