Xiao Lingyu nodded, “That is most likely!”

She sighed in her heart. Back then, she allowed the entire village to pick Little Light’s manure because she wanted them to know their interests were closely related. For more than a year, nothing happened.

The Little Cattle King was like the Golden Goose. Once it was exposed, many people would come for it.

A wave of panic welled up in Mother Xiao’s heart. She said helplessly, “Yu ‘Er, what should we do now?”

They knew that the Little Cattle King was fake. It was a front used to hide Xiao Lingyu’s farming space. Once Little Light was captured, and those people didn’t get the result they wanted, they would definitely suspect Xiao Lingyu. Mother Xiao was naturally worried for her daughter.

Gong Tianhao had been paying attention to Mother Xiao’s expression. He noticed that Mother Xiao was more worried about Xiao Lingyu than the Little Cattle King. The Xiao Family was too concerned about themselves to notice Gong Tianhao.

Father Xiao held Mother Xiao’s trembling hands and said, “Qiuying, it’s alright. Things haven’t reached that stage yet. If worse comes to worst, I’ll risk my life to stop them from getting the Little Cattle King.” This was equivalent to him saving his daughter.

Holding her husband’s hands, Mother Xiao slowly calmed down. “Yes, you’re right. We won’t let them take Little Light no matter what.”

The Little Cattle King was related to Xiao Lingyu’s personal safety. It was why Father Xiao and Mother Xiao were so nervous.

At this moment, Gong Tianhao suddenly held onto Xiao Lingyu’s hands. He frowned when he felt the chill from her fingers. He used his big hand to wrap Xiao Lingyu’s small hand tightly.

Then, he told Father and Mother Xiao seriously, “Auntie, Uncle, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone touch the Little Cattle King… or even Taoyuan Village!”

Father Xiao and Mother Xiao looked at Gong Tianhao seriously. They stared at each other.

In the end, Father Xiao said earnestly, “Tianhao, although we know that your family has money, what if this big company coming to steal the Little Cattle King is richer and more powerful than you? We can’t bring you down with us.”

But Gong Tianhao shook his head and said, “Uncle, Auntie, don’t worry. No matter who comes, I will not be afraid. I will protect the Little Cattle King, Lingyu, Uncle, Auntie, and the entire Xiao Family. Believe me.”

Gong Tianhao thought about revealing his real identity, but he was afraid that he might scare them off. After all, he was the richest man in the country, and he was pursuing their daughter. If he revealed his identity, Xiao Lingyu’s parents would become more cautious and suspicious of his intention.

Because they wouldn’t think the world’s richest man would love their daughter. So he needed to do something to show his sincerity.

Mother Xiao and Father Xiao guessed that Gong Tianhao had an extraordinary background, but he couldn’t reveal it just yet.

However, they didn’t mind, as long as he could really protect their daughter.

Gong Tianhao was their lifeboat. They didn’t know whether he could save Xiao Lingyu or not, but they’d rather trust him than not!

The moment Gong Tianhao held her hand, Xiao Lingyu felt the warmth from his large hands. It made her heart feel warm too.

When she predicted that Little Light had been exposed, her heart was scared and nervous. However, she didn’t show it because it would only make her parents more worried. She was just a common farmer. The development company’s target was definitely Little Light.

If Little Light were really the Little Cattle King, then it would be fine. If it was stolen away, then so be it. At least her family wouldn’t be in danger. However, Little Light wasn’t the Little Cattle King. He only had those powers because she fed him with the spring water. In other words, the Little Cattle King would only be Little Cattle King at her house. He’d turn back into a normal calf after he left. Those who stole him would get suspicious.

Human greed was endless. The suspicion would lead them to Xiao Lingyu’s family. People with power and influence would dispatch them easily. With a flick of a finger, they could disappear, and no one would suspect anything.

Once they were captured, they would suffer a life worse than death. Xiao Lingyu was not afraid of death. But she was afraid of implicating her beloved family. Therefore, she was afraid and nervous.

At this moment, Gong Tianhao held her hand and gave her warmth, comfort, and a sense of security.

“That’s right. Since Gong Tianhao knows that the child is his. He knows about the hidden agenda behind this tourism development. He will protect his child, right?’

Xiao Lingyu felt better.

Hearing Gong Tianliang’s promise, Father and Mother Xiao said gratefully, “Tianhao, thank you so much.”

Gong Tianhao held Xiao Lingyu’s hand tightly and did not let go. He could feel her small hand slowly warming up. He smiled and said, “Uncle, Auntie, you are all my family. We are a family. There’s no need to be so polite.”

When they heard Gong Tianhao call them family, Father Xiao and Mother Xiao were moved. They liked Gong Tianhao even more.

However, Mother Xiao still said politely, “Tianhao, no matter what, we are very grateful to you. Also…” At this moment, mother Xiao suddenly became very serious and said, “Tianhao, I mean if, if anything happens to our family, Auntie hope that you can protect Yu ‘Er, okay?”

Gong Tianhao was confused, but he was smart enough not to ask further.

He nodded his head very seriously, “Uncle, Auntie, I will definitely protect Yu ‘Er’s safety. I will protect everyone’s safety. Believe me. As long as I’m around, no one will dare to do anything to you.”

Mother Xiao’s eyes turned red as she nodded gratefully, “Yes, yes. Tianhao, thank you so much.”

Gong Tianhao smiled and said, “Auntie, as I said, we’re family. There’s no need for thanks.”

Mother Xiao and Father Xiao looked at each other and smiled, “Okay then.”

Gong Tianhao then glanced at Xiao Lingyu.

Father Xiao and Mother Xiao caught this and realized the two youngsters might have something to talk about. They looked at each other again and said in unison, “Tianhao, we still have some matters to attend to in the field, so we’ll be leaving first. We’ll have to trouble you to take care of Yu ‘Er.”

“Auntie, I’ll take good care of Yu ‘Er,” Gong Tianhao nodded.

After her parents left, Xiao Lingyu looked at Gong Tianhao gratefully and said, “Gong Tianhao, thank you so much for consoling my parents. Otherwise, they’d worry endlessly.”

Gong Tianhao did not ask her why her parents were so worried.

He held Xiao Lingyu with one hand and felt the warmth of her soft little hand. With the other hand, he helped her tidy up the hair on her forehead and said with a gentle smile, “Yu ‘Er, that is what I’m supposed to do. Do you have anything else you want to tell me?”

Xiao Lingyu looked at him and opened her mouth. She wanted to say something, but she felt that she could not say it.

For a moment, her expression became blank and helpless.

Gong Tianhao sighed again. He hugged Xiao Lingyu into his embrace and rested his head on her shoulder. He spoke into her ears and whispered, “Yu ‘Er, why are you so guarded against me? But it’s alright. I’ll give you time. I’ll prove that I really like you. I’ll wait for you to be ready, alright?”
