“Come, darling, put on your shoes. Let’s go home.”
Ying Bao was sitting on the edge of the bed. Xu Xiyan helped her daughter put on her tiny leather shoes.
Jing Huaduo had been feeling guilty all this time for losing sight of Ying Bao on the day of her kidnapping. He said kindly, “Ying Bao, how about I carry you?”
Ying Bao pursed her tiny lips together. She looked him over and shook her head. “I don’t want Great-grandpa to carry me. You’re an old man, your bones break easily. They may break if you carry me.”
“Haha... oh, you...”
Jing Huaduo did not know whether to laugh or be offended. He hadn’t expected the little girl to remember the things he had told her!
Ye Xun opened his arms and asked, “My sweet little daughter, how about a hug?”
Again, the little girl shook her head. She said seriously, “Uncle Tree-Leaf, you should go hug Auntie Sanyan instead. Don’t keep her waiting!”
“...”
What was she talking about?
“Okay. Let’s go home.”
...
Back in Shengshi Yujing, in Xu Xiyan’s apartment...
Ying Bao followed Xu Xiyan into the living room. She stood in the middle of the room, cocked her head to the side, and asked her mother: “Xi baby, can I live here now? Is this a dream?”
As a result of her kidnapping, Ying Bao had found her real father, and could now live with both her mommy and daddy. For a small child like her, it was as though Christmas had come early.
But she had to confirm it with her mother because she knew firsthand that happiness wasn’t easy to come by.
Xu Xiyan pinched her daughter’s tiny cheeks. “Of course this isn’t a dream, darling. You can live here now. And you can use both apartments!”
“That’s great! Now I can be with Mommy forever!”
The cute little girl skipped happily to the crystal door. She opened the door and said excitedly, “Xi baby, I’m going to find Daddy.”
She waited for Xu Xiyan to give her permission before running through the doorway to Huo Yunshen’s apartment, shouting “Daddy!” as she went.
Huo Yunshen heard his daughter’s voice. He emerged from one of the bedrooms and waved to her. “Daddy’s here. Come here, Cherry.”
Ying Bao ran happily towards Huo Yunshen, who pointed to the bedroom he had just come out of and said, “Look at the room Daddy prepared for you. Do you like it?”
