441 Daddy Promised

Looking at Wu Yueling's reddened little nose, Lin Qiao hurriedly comforted her, 'Alright, alright, don't cry, please don't cry… I'll panic if you start to cry, even though I don't know why. Please don't cry!'

Wu Yueling blinked her misty eyes and tried to look at Lin Qiao. She had no idea where she should look at, as she didn't know where the latter was. So, with no other choice, she lowered her head.

She heard Lin Qiao's voice, and knew that it was Zombie Mom's voice. She didn't know what exactly the words 'Zombie Mom' meant, but she did know what 'Mom' meant. Other children had their mothers with them, but she never had one.

Daddy had told her that she was not his biological daughter. Her real parents had died, so she could now only see them in the photo that Daddy showed her.

However, that was only a photo. Although her Daddy told her that the people in that photo were her parents, she did not quite understand it, and neither did she know what biological parents meant.

All she knew was that her Daddy treated her very well, and that was enough.

Earlier on, Viney told her that her Zombie Sister, whom she liked very much, could be with her Daddy and become her Mom. After that, she heard her Daddy say the same thing.

Since then, she firmly believed that Lin Qiao would be her mother. She panicked when Lin Qiao denied it, so at that moment, she felt helpless and wanted to cry.

Seeing the little girl show a sign of crying, Lin Qiao panicked as well. Crying children could really terrify her. What should she do?

She had no other choice but to explain, 'Not anyone can be your Mom. A lady can be your Mom only when you're Daddy agrees. Also, your Daddy needs to like her, and she needs to like him back.'

Wu Yueling lowered her head and pouted, silently shedding tears. Hearing Lin Qiao's words, she immediately responded, 'Daddy agreed… Daddy said so… He agreed…'

Lin Qiao again paused briefly. She took back her hand and began wondering with surprise.

'What? He agrees? What happened? He didn't lie to the kid, did he?'

Feeling that Lin Qiao had taken her hand away, Wu Yueling raised her head to look around flurriedly.

Lin Qiao held her little hands and asked her silently, 'Did Daddy really say so? Did he agree?'

Wu Yueling calmed down as Lin Qiao held her hands, then nodded and answered the questions, 'Yes, Daddy agreed. He also said that he'll marry you!'

Lin Qiao was speechless.

'Wait! Wait a minute! What!' She was utterly confusedly. 'Did he really say that to you?

Wu Yueling nodded in response, having no idea that she had already sold her father out. She grasped Lin Qiao's hands and tried really hard to pull the latter toward her while saying in her head, 'I don't care… I want you to be my Mama… I also want to be Viney's sister… I'm already Viney's sister… Has Viney become a little baby already? Em… when can she come out and play?'

Lin Qiao could no longer handle the thought in the kid's mind, so she hurriedly said to the girl, "Alright, good girl, I need to leave now. Go to sleep. Don't tell your Daddy that I visited you, okay? I'll come back to you tomorrow night. Remember to secretly open the glass door at the back."

Wu Yueling paused for a moment upon hearing that Lin Qiao needed to leave. She didn't plan to let her go, but as the latter promised to come back tomorrow night, she nodded and agreed to let her go and do what she asked.

Right at that moment, Wu Chengyue abruptly stood up, then turned and walked toward the bedroom. Soon, he noticed that Wu Yueling had sat up.

"Eh? Ling Ling, aren't you asleep yet?" Wu Chengyue walked over and asked. Wu Yueling turned to look at him, then shook her head.

Seeing her red eyes and nose, Wu Chengyue sat down by her side and asked with surprise, "Eh? Ling Ling, why're you crying? What happened?"

Wu Yueling only shook her head again, then turned to a corner. Meanwhile, Lin Qiao carefully moved backward, as she didn't want Wu Chengyue to find her.

Wu Chengyue confusedly glanced at the area that Wu Yueling was looking at, but saw nothing in there. "Why are you crying if nothing happened?" he asked.

Wu Yueling raised her head and looked at him with a grievance. Wu Chengyue looked at her large and tearful eyes, feeling puzzled.

"Ling Ling, can you tell Daddy what you are crying for?" He said.

Wu Yueling gave him a glance, then suddenly turned around and crawled into the blanket without responding to him further.

Wu Chengyue was left bewildered, so he pulled the blanket and asked, "What on earth has happened? How is Daddy supposed to know if you refuse to tell me? How can Daddy solve your problem if I don't know what happened?"

Hearing that, Wu Yueling quickly got out of the blanket and held a hand of his. While swaying his hand, she looked at him expectantly.

This time, Wu Chengyue understood her meaning. "Ah, do you miss her so much? You don't have to cry even if you didn't see her."

Despite the words he said, his eyes glowed, because he found that his daughter was suddenly in a better mood. She seemed to be crying at the moment, but still, he saw something else in her eyes.

Wu Yueling's hope was raised again, and her negative emotions were all gone.

But earlier when they came back from dinner, she was still very down. So, Wu Chengyue glanced around doubtfully, but saw nothing.

He lowered his head and looked at Wu Yueling as he asked her, "Has someone been here?"

Wu Yueling shook her head.

Wu Chengyue thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to see her and ask her to come back with us?"

Wu Yueling quickly nodded.

Wu Chengyue continued, "Then how about this? Ling Ling, can you tell her to come back with us? Daddy can only bring you here to see her, but might not be able to bring her home. However, Ling Ling can do that. She likes Ling Ling very much, doesn't she?"

Wu Yueling blinked, then immediately nodded.

Lin Qiao, who was going to leave through the window, rolled her eyes.

'Oi, what are you teaching your child to do? Are you trying to use the kid to abduct me? In your dream!'

Wu Chengyue rubbed Wu Yueling's head and said, "Alright, just lie down and sleep. Sleep early, so you can grow up."

Wu Chengyue lay down obediently. She cuddled her blanket and gave Wu Chengyue another glance, then closed her eyes.

Wu Chengyue stood up and walked to the living room, then suddenly began stripping himself. He took off the camouflage coat and threw it onto the couch, then took off the T-shirt to expose his beautifully shaped muscles. After that, he walked toward the bathroom in his trousers.

Lin Qiao silently dragged her own eyes away from his muscular back, then left through the window.

'I was nearly tempted by his perfect body shape! That man is really dangerous!'
