Ying Bao was a sensitive child. After her mother spoke to the auntie on the phone, she noticed that she was unhappy. “Mommy, does Daddy not like Baby anymore? Is Daddy abandoning us after having another auntie?” she asked.
The little girl looked pitiful as she spoke. Xu Xiyan could not help but hug her daughter. “No, Daddy is just very busy. The auntie who was on the phone just now is a friend of Daddy’s. You’ve seen her before. Daddy loves Ying Bao the most, followed by Mommy. He will not abandon us,” she comforted her.
Ying Bao remembered the pretty auntie who came last time. She became more worried. “Then, why is Daddy not coming home today to have dinner together with Baby and Mommy?”
Ying Bao was very hungry now because she wanted to wait for her daddy.
The little girl had already said that, as long her Daddy is not home yet, she would not eat. Xu Xiyan was at loss on what to do with her.
At 9 o’clock in the evening, Huo Yunshen returned to Shengshi Yujing.
Xu Xiyan heard the sound of his car arriving and parking outside and knew that he was back. She went over to open the door for him in advance.
“I’m home, dear.”
After entering through the door, Huo Yunshen first took Xu Xiyan into his arms and hugged her tightly, then wrapped an arm around her shoulders as he led her into the living room.
Huo Yunshen did not see Ying Bao. “Where’s Cherry? Is she asleep?” he asked.
“No. The little girl is angry now!” Xu Xiyan said.
“She’s angry? What happened?”
Xu Xiyan told him what happened. “She called you earlier this evening, but it was Tang Shixue who answered the call. When she heard that it was a strange auntie’s voice, she thought that you had gotten another woman and that you didn’t want her anymore. I’ve tried to explain to her but it was useless. She hasn’t even eaten her dinner yet. She was so upset!”
Her daughter had called him?
So, it was Tang Shixue who had helped him answered the call—and she didn’t tell him. Sigh, was she deliberately trying to give him more trouble?
His daughter had misunderstood him. What was he going to do?
“I’m going to see her.”
Huo Yunshen came to the door of the child’s room. He knocked on the door, called out her name, and coaxed her for a while before Ying Bao finally came out.
His daughter’s eyes were red. He guessed that she must’ve cried.
“Cherry, my good baby, come here and let Daddy give you a hug!”
Huo Yunshen picked his daughter up in his arms and kissed her on her cheeks. Then he asked, “Your eyes are so red. Were you crying? Tell Daddy, what happened?”
Ying Bao tugged on a button on Huo Yunshen’s collar as she pouted her little lips. She said bitterly, “Daddy, you won’t abandon us, right? Will you form a new family with another auntie and abandon me and Mommy?”
“Of course not.”
Huo Yunshen always knew that Ying Bao was a sensitive child, but he did not expect her to be this sensitive. Not only was she sensitive, but she was also seriously insecure.
“But Grandma said that she wanted to find me a new mother. I don’t want a new mother, I only want my Mommy…” She began sobbing, rubbing her eyes with her little hands as she cried sadly.
Huo Yunshen felt an extreme heartache for her. Inside, he blamed his mother for talking nonsense in front of the child. Now he could only hurry to comfort the child. “Baby, don’t misunderstand. Daddy has no other woman. Daddy only has your Mommy as his woman—and oh, you’re also Daddy’s. Daddy only has the both of you. Our family of three will always be together, and no one can separate us.”
“Daddy…” Ying Bao believed her father’s words. She threw herself into his arms again.
“Okay, okay, don’t cry anymore, Baby. Is your little belly hungry? Daddy will make you a delicious meal, okay?”
Huo Yunshen tried to steer Ying Bao’s negative emotions away.
“Okay,” Ying Bao agreed.
After coaxing his daughter, he made dinner for her. When the child had her dinner and had fallen asleep, Huo Yunshen went over to coax his “big baby.”
Xu Xiyan was typing at the computer. Huo Yunshen went up to her, bent over and embraced her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. “Dear…”
