\"Da-Daddy! Thank you, Dad!\"
Han Ying almost burst into tears upon hearing that. She was so happy that her daughter already accepted Heero.
However, there was one guy who was clueless about it and of course, it was Heero. He had a confused look over his face, \"Daddy? What's that?\"
The harmonious atmosphere was broken by Heero's silly question. Miao Miao's body stiffened as she broke free from the hug. She looked at Heero oddly.
\"Silly!\" Han Ying messed Heero's hair and explained with a big smile to her exotic husband, \"Daddy is the same as father. Just like she called me mommy which means mother, Daddy used to address father!\"
In that instant, Heero's eyes enlarged as he gazed at Miao Miao. A burst of happiness exploded in his heart, all of his efforts were not a waste. His hard work efforts finally bore the fruit, Miao Miao accepted him as her father.
\"Hohoho…\" Heero let out a strange laugh as he cuddled his cheek against Shen Miao's cheeks. He was happy, but then he noticed Myung-Hee looked glum.
He let Shen Miao break away and asked Myung-Hee in a gentle tone, \"What's wrong, Myung-Hee?\"
\"Hummm, Teacher Xing, you said the Luminous Bird is your gift for your daughter. Did it mean the two Luminous Birds are for Miao Miao? I am not your daughter…\" Myung-Hee voiced her concern.
\"Silly child!\" Heero messed Myung-Hee's red hair and said while opening his arm, \"Have you heard a saying, \"A teacher for a day, is a father for a life!\" Come here! You are also my little princess and of course, the red Luminous Hyacinth is for you!\"
Myung-Hee's eyes enlarged as her gaze contained joy, but she was still doubtful as she knew the worth of the Luminous Hyacinth. It was just too much for a gift, however, expectant filled her eyes as she wanted to confirm it once again, \"Really? Really? Really?\"
Looking at Myung-Hee's puffy cheeks and teary eyes, there was no way Heero's heart was not melted. He replied with the same enthusiasm, \"Yes! Yes! Yes!\"
Only then, Myung-Hee rushed over to Heero's embrace. She buried her head deep onto Heero's chest. In that instant, the little girl felt the warmth she never felt before. It was not warm from the touching, but it was her heart.
Cozy and warm, the feelings her father could never give. This was what Myung-Hee was jealous of, it was the Heero and Miao Miao relationship. Indeed, her father always gave her everything, but not this one as her father was always busy with his work.
Miao Miao did not want to lose to Myung-Hee, she quickly snuck into Heero's embrace. And so, the two girls were having their cozy and comfortable hug from Heero while Han Ying looked at the trio with soft and gentle eyes.
'Heero is truly the right man!' Once again, she was convinced that she did not choose the wrong man. After all, she was a widow with a daughter. There was a fear of Heero not accepting her daughter. Especially how hostile her daughter was in their first meeting.
Shen Miao was one of her biggest's concerns to marry again, but everything went smoothly. She saw Heero's concern and love were not less than her.
\"Alright, my little princesses, you can play with the luminous, but before that, you have to give it a name! If you give it a name, it will listen to your words!\" Once again, Heero gave the two little girls a surprise.
Catching the Luminous Hyacinth was already hard, now the Luminous Hyacinth also listened to their words. This time, Myung-Hee and Miao Miao no longer doubted Heero.
Myung-Hee immediately got the name of her red Luminous Hyacinth, \"You are Red. Yes, from today, your name will be Red!\"
Such a simple name, but spot on. It was as if the surprise was not over yet, as soon as Myung-Hee named her Luminous Hyacinth, the bird spoke stiffly, \"Red. Like.\"
Red only spoke two words, but it already sent the little girl over the moon in that instant. Myung-Hee screamed in joy, \"Huuuuu… My Red spoke! Red spoke!\" Myung was hopping around Red.
Meanwhile, Miao Miao had a troubled expression mixed with envy as Heero immediately noticed, \"What's wrong? You can't find a good name?\"
The little girl must be envying Myung-Hee as Red could speak. She must be wanted to immediately get a name for her Luminous Hyacinth, but she could not come up with a good name.
\"Hummm…\" Miao Miao nodded her head.
Heero still had his big smile and turned toward Myung-Hee, \"Good, Myung-Hee, you can play with Red first. From now on, Red will listen to you!\"
Hearing that, Myung-Hee turned around and ran, \"Come, Red! Follow me!\"
The red Luminous Hyacinth immediately flew from Heero's shoulder, following its new Master. This was one of the Ki's wonders and could be used even to speak with a beast.
After that, he turned back to Miao Miao and said, \"If you can't find a good name, why don't you discuss it with your Mom? Maybe she can help you get a good name~\"
Having said that, Heero turned his head toward Han Ying with an \"It's your turn!\" look. Han Ying, of course, received the code and nodded. At Heero's suggestion, Miao Miao also had a hopeful look as she gazed at her mother.
It was as if the little girl had forgotten her resentment to her Mom. Heero left the purple Luminous Hyacinth with the daughter and mother before he left them alone, giving the duo more space to reconcile.
Heero left the rooftop silently as the duo were discussing a name for the purple Luminous Hyacinth. As soon as he closed the door, Heero immediately jumped in joy, \"Yes! Yes! Yes! All my efforts finally bear the fruit!\"
Meanwhile, Heero was not aware there was someone watching over from below. He was in the state of excitement, lowering his guard down. Hong Yu was about to get to the rooftop until Heero showed up.
\"What are you doing?\" Her tone contained suspiciousness, wondering what her husband was doing.
Heero without answering, he charged toward Hong Yu and gave her a hug, \"Hahaha… I am happy… Hahaha…\" He was laughing as he raised her wife up, but he controlled his voice so the people on the rooftop did hear his laughter.
\"What's actually happening with you?\" Heero's antics truly made her curious, what was the thing that made him that happy. It was her first time Heero acted like this before her.
\"Miao Miao! She called me Daddy~ Hahaha…. She called me Daddy….\" Heero repeated the words, showing he was truly happy.
Hearing this, Hong Yu's eyes brightened. If her niece called her husband Daddy, then everything went smoothly. Han Ying was not the only one who was concerned with the duo's relationship, but she was also concerned about the arrogant little tigress.
However, now it seemed everything went well. Miao Miao accepted that Heero was good news for them, Hong Yu returned the hug, then she realized she had her purpose coming here.
\"What about my sister, it's almost dinner. I need help in the kitchen!\"
\"Don't bother your sister, I will help you instead…\" Heero pulled Hong Yu with him. Hong Yu also instantly comprehended the meaning behind Heero's words. He obediently followed Heero.
On the way to the first floor, Hong Yu praised Heero, \"You are doing a good job this time. I will reward you well tonight~\"
*** ***
Since the day Heero gave his first gift to his daughter, it had been five days passed. The number of Luminous Hyacinths in the Xing District also increased. When Lan Lan saw the beautiful Luminous Hyacinth, she begged her father to catch one for her.
Not only Lan Lan, but the other kids also wanted to have one. Luckily, Heero already knew the secret's habitant of the Luminous Hyacinth. So, in the last five days, Butcher Wang had been catching the bird for his daughter's happiness.
And so, once again, the name of the Xing District sky-rocketed with the appearance of dozens of the rarest birds. People come in droves to the Xing District only to see Luminous Hyacinth, a bird that could only be seen in the core region.
With the sudden increase of the Luminous Bird, Heero was forced to make a home for the Luminous Hyacinth. And so, all the roofs in the Xing District were under overhaul.
With the sudden increase in the flow of visitors, the Xing District was getting more lively.
Nine O'clock in the morning, Heero was done with helping in making the dough. Having spare time before the shop opened, he went to Yun Xia Publisher. Even though now he had enough money, even it could be said he was rich, he was still writing a book as a hobby.
When he reached Yun Xia Publisher, rarely, Yun Xia was at the counter on the first floor, with her panda eyes, indicating she lacked sleep.
\"Hoho, it's rare for Boss to come here earlier in the morning~\" Yun Xia greeted Heero as she took a sip of coffee, \"So, what Boss needs, coming this earlier?\"
\"I am here to deliver my new book. Here, the first volume of my new book!\" Heero threw a thin and small disk to Yun Xia. The girl's hand moved fast, catching the disk in the middle of the air.
She put the disk on the counter without checking the content and said in an annoyed tone, \"I say, Boss, when are you going to expand your district?\"
\"Huh!? What's wrong? Do you want to invest?\"
Yun Xia rolled her eyes and replied, \"I have no interest in investment. Lately, the district has become a lot noisier, I can't sleep well! If you are going to expand, please inform me, I am going to book a new and quiet place!\"
Heero pondered Yun Xia's idea as this was not the first time someone asked about expansion. Kang Seo-Yeon once asked him about this as well. Just as he wanted to give his answer, the door opened violently.
Bam!
Yun Xia and Heero frowned as they turned toward the door. There, they saw Fatty Liang out of breath as a lot of sweat poured down from his face.
\"Boss! The Central Government's Officers… They are coming… To confiscate the Luminous Hyacinth…\"
