After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Distracted by this brat, Lin Ling couldn't continue the previous topic.

He was just about to tell Wu Ren that he didn't need to take him home today.

"I want to go too," Uren suddenly said.

Lin Ling hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Huh?" She didn't quite understand. "Where to?"

Wu Ren said, enunciating each word clearly, "Watch, a, big, show."

"Let's go together then." Lin Ling thought to herself, they say that feelings grow over time, I wonder if the man has developed even a little bit of affection for her after all this time.

This matter cannot be rushed, Lin Ling thought. Taking it slowly is not a bad idea.

What's the difference between going to the theater with a man and going on a date?

Lin Ling thought to herself: Oh no, I didn't remember to wear a pretty dress when I went out today. I wonder if it will make a difference...

It was already late afternoon, and it wasn't convenient to go home and change, so Lin Ling had to settle for second best and chose a pretty sachet and belt to match.

In the evening, Lin Ling, Wu Ren, Chun happy, and the young man traveled together.

The young man's father is said to have abandoned his husband and eloped with another man who was already married.

Therefore, he took his stepfather's surname, Xiao, and his given name was Rui.

Xiao Rui and happy Chun held Lin Ling's hands on either side, leaving Wu Ren no chance to take advantage of the situation.

Wu Ren gripped the scimitar tighter and tighter.

These are two large candles.

The most common performances by the opera troupes from the Western Regions were Hu women dancing, acrobatics, fire-breathing, and so on.

The opera troupe set up a tent in a spacious area, and tickets were required to enter the performance area.

Lin Ling generously bought the most expensive front-row tickets and also purchased a large box of Eight Treasures Fruit Platter at the entrance.

In addition to grapes and watermelons, there are also roasted nuts and seeds such as melon seeds and peanuts.

The four entered the shed, and Wu Ren, quick as a flash, took the spot next to Lin Ling.

Xiao Rui stomped his foot in anger, "Lingling-ge, look at him!!"

Wu Ren turned a deaf ear.

Lin Ling popped a grape into Xiao Rui's mouth. "Sit down quickly, the performance is about to begin."

Although Xiao Rui was mischievous, he listened to Lin Ling very well, and at this moment he could only sit angrily next to Chunxi.

Chunxi understands this feeling all too well.

There's absolutely nothing we can do about our young master's preference for white hair.

After the song and dance, the highlight of the performance began: animal taming.

A tiger suddenly emerged from behind the curtain, startling the audience so much that they dared not speak loudly.

The three little ones were very close to the tiger in the front row. The huge beast was circling in front of them, and they were so scared that they trembled.

Only Wu Ren acted as if nothing had happened, and even offered his comments.

"This tiger is no good; it looks rather dry, like it hasn't eaten well."

Lin Ling: Please shut up.

Wu Ren, not hearing Lin Ling's voice, turned to him and asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Lin Ling grabbed the man's arm and asked almost in a whisper, "Won't it come and eat us...?"

"I'm here, what are you afraid of?" Wu Ren patted Lin Ling's hand. "Don't be afraid."

The three boys were more united than ever before, even their postures were perfectly synchronized.

Xiao Rui leaned against Xi Chun, who was holding Lin Ling, while Lin Ling instinctively hid behind the man.

With the sound of a bamboo whistle, the animal trainer lit a ring of fire and directed the tiger to jump through it.

After the tiger had gone through several rings of fire, it became somewhat lazy.

The animal trainer lashed the tiger's back with a whip, and the tiger immediately let out a mournful howl.

While Lin Ling was scared, she also felt sorry for the tiger.

The whip lashed across the tiger's back again and again, forcing it to stand up and continue repeating the motion of jumping through the fire rings.

Chunxi whispered to Lin Ling, "Young Master, I feel so sorry for this tiger."

Lin Ling nodded in agreement.

Even after the performance ended and the fireworks lit by the opera troupe were finished, as the four walked back, Lin Ling was still feeling sorry for the tiger.

Seeing that he had been sullen ever since watching the tiger show, Wu Ren said worriedly, "Why does he look like that? Are you scared out of your wits?"

After saying that, he reached out and pinched the little fool's cheek.

Lin Ling turned her head and glanced at the opera troupe packing up their costumes not far away, as well as the tiger locked in the iron cage, and said, "I just feel so sorry for that tiger."

Wu Ren glanced back and said, "Or should I secretly go and release that tiger?"

Lin Ling quickly shook her head, "No, no, no, it's not easy for their opera troupe to make money; they all have families to support."

Wu Ren said, "Don't you feel sorry for that tiger?"

Lin Ling said, "I just hope they can treat the tiger kindly. But if we release their tiger, they might not be able to earn money in the future, and their husbands and children will go hungry."

Wu Ren looked intently at Lin Ling, then suddenly laughed.

Lin Ling looked up. "What are you laughing at?"

Wu Ren said, "Yin Zhiwei said you are very kind."

Lin Ling was a little confused as to why he brought this up. "What's wrong?"

"I think he's right," Uren said.

Lin Ling's cheeks immediately turned red, and he softly hummed in agreement.

Xiao Rui snorted, "Of course my Lingling-ge (brother Lingling) can be kind. Do you need to tell me?"

Wu Ren wanted to kick him.

However, considering that Lin Ling was by his side, he held back.

After sending Xiao Rui home, the three of them slowly made their way to the Lin residence.

The main reason is that Lin Ling has small steps, so she walks slowly.

At first, Wu Ren was very unaccustomed to this slow pace, but now he can completely match Lin Ling's speed.

His change was so natural that no one noticed it.

"We're here," Wu Ren said. "Let's go in."

Lin Ling looked up at her family's signboard, then turned to Wu Ren and said, "Be careful on your way back... By the way, are you still staying at the inn?"

Wu Ren shook his head. "I pawned a gemstone and bought a house on Qiushui Street."

Lin Ling asked in surprise, "When did you buy it? You didn't even tell me."

"Just a few days ago," Wu Ren said, "How about I take you to see it tomorrow?"

"Okay," Lin Ling said.

Qiushui Street is not far from here, but the population there is more dense and the houses are small, just one-courtyard houses.

Since the man bought property in Wuling County, he must have planned to live there long-term.

Lin Ling was overjoyed. "Then you should go back soon too. See you tomorrow."

Wu Ren nodded.

He watched the little fool enter the house before turning and leaving.

As soon as Lin Ling stepped into the courtyard, she heard a serious cough.

Lin Ling's back stiffened, as if she had been caught doing something wrong.

He quickly called out in a soft, sweet voice, "Daddy."

Lin Wu crossed his arms, trying to play the stern father, and said with a straight face, "Lingling, you're back so late, where have you been?"

Lin Ling obediently replied, "I'm going to see a big show at the opera troupe."

"With whom?"

Lin Ling stammered, "No, no one."

"You're lying," Lin Wu said. "When did you become so familiar with that white-haired guy?"

Lin Ling screamed inwardly, "How did Daddy find out?!"

Regardless of the consequences, I'll just play the victim first.

Lin Ling stared at Lin Wu with her big, watery eyes, "Daddy... Waaah."
