Chapter 104 - Best Daddy

"Fu Ya? What are you doing here?"

"I, I, just moved into the house next doors. Ming Ming, suddenly ran to to the neighbor house and knocked on the door, I didn't think it would be you that lives here. Didn't you live at the FengShong market?"

"Mhm! I could smell daddy's food!"

Ming Ming then like a monkey climbed up onto Wang Ming's shoulders without him carrying her up and sat on his shoulders. She looked so satisfied sitting on Wang Ming's shoulders that it made Fu Ya laugh.

"I just moved in earlier today, the former owner let me move in earlier. What about you don't you live in the FengShong market too?"

"Me, Ming Ming and Mom, moved in here when they just built the houses one year ago. We all fell in love with how beautiful they've done each garden here, but since it's a gated community here, Ming Ming can roam around with us being at ease. But even then, either me and Mom still go with her in case."

"Mhm, It's beautiful here, but now it's much better with daddy! Daddy, Ming Ming wants to eat, she's hungry smelling your food. But I want sweets too!"

When he heard Ming Ming's words, Wang Ming wanted to laugh. This little girl only loves to eat. If he hadn't made such wonderful food, she probably wouldn't even want him as her dad. Wang Ming said nothing, but just looked at Fu Ya with a questioning look.

"Well, if we are not bothering you then I guess we can eat at your place. We aren't bothering you, are we?"

"It would be my p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e!"

Wang Ming with the mother and daughter duo went into the kitchen to see all the food he had cooked. He only had two chairs, so Wang Ming sat down on one, but before Fu Ya could sit on her chair Ming Ming did something unexpected and jumped onto the chair sitting on it before Fu Ya could, with a naughty smile she said.

"Mommy, sit with Daddy! Ming Ming want's to sit alone!"

Hearing what she said, Fu Ya looked speechless, Wang Ming nor Ming Ming could read her expression they didn't if she was smiling or was angry. But before she could say anything, Wang Ming stood up from his chair and gently pushed Fu Ya onto the chair which scared her, but she relaxed when she felt her b.u.t.t hit the chair.

"Just sit down for a while I'll cut the meat up and make some vegetable soup and rice. It'll take 15 minutes."

Wang Ming had cooked some rice before, but he couldn't just serve rice and meat to them, especially to Ming Ming. She needs to eat her greens, so Wang Ming just made a simple vegetable soup by cutting and cooking up some bitter melon, choy sum, cabbage and lemon grass. He then seasoned with a bit of oil, salt and fish sauce.

Though he put in an extra step, he blended up the lemon grass that he had just cooked and mixed it together with the soup. This would counteract the bitterness of the bitter melon and give the soup a tangy and savory taste. He hoped that Ming Ming likes this dish, as he wants her to have a healthy relationship with not only meats but vegetables.

The soup took a lot less time than he had estimated it only took 10 minutes before the food was done. He could see Ming Ming was looking at him eagerly. Wang Ming had also put the all the food he had cooked earlier in the oven, Fu Ya and Ming Ming had come at a great timing.

"The food's done now, remember to eat your vegetables also Ming Ming. I've made a soup just for you."

Ming Ming scrunched her nose when Wang Ming mentioned vegetables, but since he had made a soup just for her, she still smiled and nodded her head.

Seeing her being so obedient, Wang Ming ruffled her hair, he had never met a child so sweet and adorable as Ming Ming before. He remembered when he was young. He wasn't even near how obedient Ming Ming is, even though he was a nice boy, he loved to be a naughty boy and pull pranks.

"Mhm, Ming Ming is the best girl. If you eat the vegetables, Daddy will make you a dessert, is that ok?"

"Wow, Wang Ming, this steak is incredible! What kind of steak it is, I would love to cook sometimes for Ming Ming also, I think with this steak then even I could cook."

Looking down, Wang Ming saw that she was talking about the Tri-tip steak. It made him feel good that she thought so high of the steak, but also a bit sad that the other steaks just aren't as good.

"It's a Tri-tip steak, I bought it for 40 yuan a pound. Don't you like the other meats?"

"What? 40 yuan? I thought that this steak had to be at least 500 yuan a pound. I don't know what a Tri-tip steak is, but it's definitely my favorite steak from now on with the price. The other steaks are good also but they can't compete with this steak, it tastes like it comes from a top restaurant!"

"Daddy's amazing, We meat wis amazing! (The meat is amazing)."

"Thank you, Ming Ming, but what do you think about the soup I made you?"

"It's good, Ming Ming don't like vegetable, it's not good. But Daddy makes soup and vegetable good. Thank you, daddy."

"Thank you, Ming Ming. If you guys want to wait and relax, I'll make you something my mom used to make me when I was younger. Noodle candy!"

Seeing Wang Ming's sad face when he mentioned his mother, Fu Ya knew that something had to have happened to his mother. She didn't want to ask at first, but felt curious. As she hasn't had a father her entire life, but she still has her mother, she couldn't imagine how it is living without a mother.

"What happened to your mother? I'm sorry if I'm going too far."

Wang Ming wasn't sure if he wanted to talk about his mother or not, but since Ming Ming's his goddaughter and Fu Ya is well his friend, he had no reason to not tell them about it.

"She's dead. She died when I was young, I've lived together with my dad my entire life, except for the last few months because of some unforeseeable circ.u.mstances we split up."

"Does it have anything to do with the fact you being in a wheelchair? The first time I met you, you were still in a wheelchair. I couldn't believe it when I saw you again, only a week after you could walk again."

"It's related, what I can say is that he's a sc.u.m of society, while my mother was an angel when she lived. He got corrupted by the bad and the evil when my angel lost her life. As for other things, I can't explain it for now."

"But anyway, Ming Ming, would you like some Chocolate noodles?"

Seeing Wang Ming's sad face expression, Ming Ming hugged his legs and said.

"You are the best, Daddy! Ming Ming loves you, please make Ming Ming candy."

"You are the best too."

Fu Ya, seeing how Ming Ming and Wang Ming interacted with each other, felt tears streaming down from her eyes. This was everything she had hoped for, that Ming Ming could have a father who loves her and she loves them.

"Thank you, Wang Ming."
