I Became the Eye Candy: Four Bigshots Claimed to be My Dad?-Chapter 19: Twice the Size of Xiang’er

"Then are you my daddy?" Ye Qianning tilted her little head, her big, sparkling eyes fixed on him.

Sang Yan’s heart skipped a beat as her clear gaze met his. ’She’s so adorable,’ he thought. ’It wouldn’t be bad to have a daughter like this, but alas...’

"Rest assured, I will definitely help you find your daddy." After speaking, Sang Yan stood up and looked at Prince Changyang. "Imperial Uncle, I must ask you and Imperial Aunt to look after this little girl for now. Things should be clear in a couple of days."

No matter how he looked at him, Prince Changyang found Sang Yan displeasing. ’He’s just trying to shirk his responsibility.’

Ye Qianning, however, thought the Third Prince seemed quite reliable.

"Of course. Go and attend to your business. You can rest easy knowing Pangtuan is here in the Prince Mansion," the Princess Consort quickly interjected, well aware of her husband’s temperament.

"Thank you, Imperial Aunt."

"We’re all family. There’s no need for thanks," the Princess Consort said with a smile.

"Imperial Uncle, Imperial Aunt, this nephew still has some matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb you any longer," Sang Yan said.

"Go on."

Sang Yan led Sang Zhi out the door.

"Your Highness, this subordinate will take his leave as well." Seeing that the matter had been brought to light, Lord Song figured there was nothing left for him to do.

Prince Changyang waved his hand, and Lord Song bowed and backed out of the room.

"I hope that brat doesn’t just leave and never come back," Prince Changyang muttered, afraid Sang Yan would run off.

"Sang Yan isn’t that kind of person. And you need to rein in that temper of yours. He’s an invested prince himself. Scolding him like that in front of a court official—how could he show his face?" the Princess Consort said with a sigh.

"You call that not reining it in? Look at him, making all sorts of excuses. If this were back in the day, I would have had him beaten with a military cane by now."

"This isn’t your military headquarters." The Princess Consort couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. She walked over to Ye Qianning, knelt, and looked at her. "You’ve been in the mansion for a few days, yet I never knew you had such a lovely name."

She had always thought her name was actually Pangtuan.

"I took my mother’s surname," Ye Qianning said.

’The original owner’s mother was indeed surnamed Ye, but she had never given Pangtuan a formal name, probably figuring she was still young and calling her whatever was convenient.’

"Tomorrow, I’ll have someone make you a few new sets of clothes. You’re so pretty; once you’re all dressed up, you’ll be a little beauty for sure." The Princess Consort was already very fond of Ye Qianning, and now that she might be Sang Yan’s child, she felt even more affectionate toward her.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Ye Qianning really did need some clothes that fit.

’I feel like I’ve gotten a little fatter these past two days. My clothes are getting a bit tight.’

"Her good looks come from Sang Yan, but she’s a bit too fat. She’s the size of two Xiang’ers." As he spoke, Prince Changyang couldn’t resist tugging at the clothes on Ye Qianning’s shoulder.

"..."

’There’s nothing I can do about it,’ Ye Qianning thought. ’You probably couldn’t find many six-year-olds this chubby. Even if you did, they’d likely have some kind of illness.’

’But my body is perfectly healthy. All special abilities have their backlash. Maybe the side effect of my space is just getting fat...’

The Princess Consort turned and glared at him. "It’s good for children to be a little chubby. They’ll slim down when they grow up."

Prince Changyang didn’t say anything, but his expression completely refuted the Princess Consort’s words. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

「Outside the courtyard.」

"Third Brother, is she really your daughter?" Sang Zhi had been following behind Sang Yan, and after they had walked a good distance, he couldn’t help but ask.

After leaving the residence, Sang Yan’s mind was completely preoccupied with the events in Nanyuan all those years ago. He was so lost in thought that he was startled by the question and only then realized Sang Zhi was still with him.

"It’s hard to say right now," he said.

Sang Zhi fell silent at his words.

"I have to leave the mansion to take care of something. After Master Fanghua’s lesson is finished, have Imperial Uncle send someone to take you back to the palace."
