Chapter 2538: Chapter 2538: A Small Request
"Prince Galo, your esteemed presence here is my oversight," Dan Hanjie’s eyes flickered as he spoke softly.With the words exchanged, it marked the end of the first round of their contest.
The two were evenly matched, with neither outdoing the other. However, since Galo spoke first, he seemed a bit at a disadvantage, but holding Youyou gave him an additional bargaining chip against Dan Hanjie.
"Uncle Jie, I want a hug!" Little Youyou in Galo’s arms kept squirming, wanting to get out of his embrace, looking earnestly at Dan Hanjie sitting before her, her big, sparkling eyes filled with a gleam of pleading.
She wanted Uncle Jie to hug her, and when she got to Uncle Jie, she wouldn’t have to be afraid of the bad uncle!
"Youyou is still young. There’s no need to involve a child in adults’ matters. Prince Galo, having come from afar, you must be tired. Why not hand Youyou to me first? Whatever there is to discuss, let the child rest in her room first."
Dan Hanjie extended his hand, waiting nonchalantly for Galo to give Youyou to him.
"Youyou just woke up; she won’t feel like sleeping at this time. I only found out today that I have such a lovely little niece, and I wish to get closer to her. Surely, Mr. Jie wouldn’t be unable to grant me such a small request?"
Galo deftly tossed the issue back to Dan Hanjie, both engaged in this tug-of-war over who should be with the child, neither willing to retreat an inch.
Youyou was the key to their negotiation. This was a private villa, Dan Hanjie’s territory, and even a mighty dragon fears the local serpent.
