Chapter 49 - Free of Charge

The little boy’s skin was very white and his eyelashes were incredibly thick and long. He kept blinking his eyes.

He pursed his lips and said, “You didn’t pick me up immediately. You were talking to a pretty sister.”

“Huh?”

After a while, the corners of Qiao Sinian’s lips ticked up.

Pretty sister? Ye Jiaqi?

“Daddy… You were also pulling her hand,” the little boy continued with his voice lowered.

“Don’t talk nonsense,” Qiao Sinian said in a serious tone.

“Daddy, do you like her?”

“Qiao Chengfan! Shut up!”

“Okay okay, no more, no more,” the little boy said in a hurry.

When his dad became angry, it was scary.

However, his hand still clung onto Qiao Sinian’s thighs and refused to let go.

Qiao Sinian looked at the little boy with a rigid expression. The little boy had become more capable in the few days that he hadn’t seen him.

Seeing that his dad wasn’t talking, Qiao Chengfan hurriedly acted coquettishly.

“Daddy, I’m hungry… I want to eat, want to eat…”

“No food, stay hungry!”

“…” The little boy had an expression that showed that he felt wronged.

Housekeeper Sun came over and smiled before saying, “Master Qiao, the young master might be hungry. He didn’t eat anything on the plane.”

The little boy agreed quickly and kept nodding, “I missed daddy. That’s why I didn’t feel like eating back then.”

The little boy held onto Qiao Sinian. His soft body and hands clung onto Qiao Sinian’s pants.

“Stop that and let go.”

The little boy thought that Qiao Sinian became angrier. He refused to let go even more and there was grievance written on his face.

“Daddy, it’s for real. I really miss you.”

“If you don’t let go, you can continue being hungry.”

“Oh.”

As soon as he heard Qiao Sinian say that, he let go.

Qiao Sinian strode towards the elevator entrance. However, as his legs were longer, the little boy couldn’t keep up with his legs.

“Daddy, slow down. I can’t catch up.”

“Stupid!” Qiao Sinian said without even looking back.

The little guy felt wronged. Did he say something wrong?

No… He did see his dad hold hands with a pretty sister. He actually saw it…

And that sister was very pretty!

He had never seen his dad hold hands with anyone before. This was the very first time.

His dad must be embarrassed and that’s why he yelled at him.

He hadn’t seen his dad for a few days and his dad was not enthusiastic to see him at all. Hmph.

The little boy stood close to Qiao Sinian in the VIP elevator.

One of them was tall and the other short. One had a restrained and serious expression whilst the other one was young and innocent.

As the two stood together, their faces appeared to be very similar.

“Daddy, is the food in Beijing delicious?”

“…”

“Daddy, are there a lot of pretty sisters in Beijing?”

“…”

“Daddy, will you play with me every day?”

“…”

“Daddy…”

“Shut up!”

“…” The little boy pursed his lips.

How fierce!

With a ‘Ding’, the elevator reached the underground parking lot. The driver of the Qiao Residence was already waiting there.

It was Qiao Chengfan’s first time returning to China. His first time going to Beijing. Everything here was new and unfamiliar to him. He was very curious.

However, his dad was cold and ignored him.

The driver opened the door and Qiao Chengfan jumped in and sat next to Qiao Sinian in the backseat.

“Daddy, do you think I’ve become thin? It’s because I’ve been missing you.”

“Is it interesting to talk to yourself?”

“…” The little boy was speechless.

Was he meant to be happy to see his son?

Unless he was free of charge?!

The car started up slowly and drove out of the parking lot.

Qiao Sinian ordered the driver to drive to a teahouse and take Qiao Chengfan to eat breakfast.

In the car, the little boy’s stomach started growling.

“Hungry… If someone didn’t know, they’d think you’re abusing a child.”

Qiao Chengfan stroked his stomach and looked at Qiao Sinian with eyes of pity.

“Hmm? Am I abusing you?” Qiao Sinian asked as he raised his eyebrow.

“No, no. Daddy is the best! Daddy will give me the best things in the world!”

“Not necessarily.”

“…”
