Back For My Daughter

"Dad, you will never leave me right?"

Xiao Ya asked as she snuggled into Ye Qian's chest, her big watery eyes peering into his.

"Of course, not, why would I leave my sweetheart."

Ye Qian said before making a face and continuing.

"Even if you are a bit snobbish, sleepy sloth and chubby little fellow."

"Hehe, I am not chubby dad."

The little girl giggled before once again taking a look at herself to confirm if her dad was indeed right.

"Haha, alright, let's get in, your grandmas have made something delicious for you."

Hearing the word delicious, the little girl's eyes shone.

Meanwhile, Mrs Ji also followed behind while holding Zhimen's finger.

"Zhi, how does it feel here?"

She asked noticing that her son was looking around with his brows raised high.

"Mom, there are so many grandparents, but why are they all here, and why not in their homes, is this like a school for old people?"

Hearing her son's question and the genuinely confused look on his face, Mrs Ji let out a sigh. Not because he was unaware, but rather because she knew that he would be shocked by realizing what this place really was.

"Zhi, this is a hostel-like place for the old people, they stay here and some people take care of them."

The little fellow turned to look around and then back to his mother before asking.

"Huh, why do they stay here, don't they want to live with their families?"

Mrs Ji smiled wryly as she struggled to answer her son's curiosity in a way that won't make him feel sad, and that was when her gaze landed on Ye Qian and she continued.

"You see, there are some people who would live outside or need to travel, so in order to take care of their parents without troubling them with the travel and all that, they bring them here."

"Just like how your grandma and grandpa would live in the town while we need to live in the city for work."

"Ohh, then do their families come to meet them like how we go to meet with grandpa and grandma?"

"Thanks."

Mrs Ji followed the elder as she introduced her to a few more ladies who quickly surrounded the little fellow and adored him, giving him a few snacks and asking him many questions.

Mrs Ji didn't know what to say, in less than five minutes, she had just gotten accustomed to them and had already started to feel closer to them.

Meanwhile, on Little Qiqi's side.

The shock from before had turned into a pleasant surprise as the little girl played with her grandpas and grandmas while being doted upon.

"Hehe, Grandpa Zuko, Qiqi missed you."

"Haha, I also missed you, girl, by the way, how was your school today."

"Ahh, yes, Qiqi has to say something, you know Qiqi's teacher Wu right?"

Hearing that, the ears of all those around her perked to listen to her narration.

"What happened, big sister?"

Xiao Ya, who was sitting on Grandma Zuo's lap asked.

"Hmm, so, it was like this, Miss Wu's cousin..."

And so, the little girl recounted what she had heard, something that her dear teacher Wu had thought won't happen.

After a few minutes, the little girl finished the story causing everyone present to nod while a few sneered.

"Serves that fellow right."

Meanwhile, Ye Qian didn't need to make a second guess to conclude who was the VICTIM in this story.

But what amazed him was the fact that just a single kick from a person was enough to break Wu Ping's bones.

One had to know that even if one were to kick a steel rod, there were fewer chances that their bones would simply snap into two portions.

'Could it be a martial artist?'

Ye Qian wondered, but then he shook his head, martial artists had a code of conduct where they would not harm any simple citizen unless there was something bad happening.

And from the looks of it, even if Wu Ping did deserve the punishment, it wasn't so much to have his leg broken.

So this thought was quickly thrown out of Ye Qian's mind.
