Chapter 174
The little girl hugged Ji Feng's leg happily and shook it: "Daddy, you really are daddy!"
Ji Feng's head was spinning wildly as he stared at the picture in his hands. He couldn't help but stare at it with a blank expression, not knowing what was going on in his heart.
When Qin Shujie and Zheng Haoyu divorced, Yaoyao probably didn't even remember anything, so it was understandable that she was mistaken. Ji Feng wouldn't have any other thoughts just because she was called 'Little Girl'. After all, she was very childish.
However, the picture in Ji Feng's hands, was something that Ji Feng could not forget in his heart. In fact, he even had an indescribable feeling.
The frame in Ji Feng's hand was actually a folding frame. If one were to fold the frame, it would look to be the size of a leather wallet. Moreover, there was a small steel ring at the edge of the fold.
The thing that Ji Feng couldn't move his eyes away from was the picture in the frame.
In fact, there were two photos inside the frame, one inside each fold.
The one on the left was a photo of Qin Shujie. In the photo, Qin Shujie was holding Yao Yao in her hands. The mother and the daughter both had brilliant smiles on their faces. This was just an ordinary photo.
The key point was the picture on the other side. It was actually a picture of Ji Feng!
This was the most shocking and incomprehensible thing to Ji Feng. Since when did Qin Shujie have her own photo? More importantly, why would she place her own picture opposite the one she had with her daughter?
Actually, everyone knew what this meant.
Ji Feng silently looked at this picture of his. Looking at the background of the photo, it seemed to be from the Jadeite Ore Exchange in Jiang and Zhe provinces. He seemed to be talking to someone else, and it was not directly opposite him either.
Obviously, Ji Feng did not know when this photo was taken.
Ji Feng could not help but shake his head and bitterly smile as he thought in his heart: "If Yao Yao didn't take it out, I wouldn't have been able to see this photo. I don't understand what Qin Shujie is thinking. "
He rubbed his forehead and sighed. He really did not know what to feel.
Honestly speaking, he never would have thought that Qin Shujie would do such a thing in private. Just this photo was enough to prove Qin Shujie's feelings!
"Daddy!" The little girl stood on the floor, her small hands tightly holding onto Ji Feng's calves. Her little face was full of joy, her watery eyes almost curved into a pair of crescent moons, making her look extremely adorable.
However, what touched Ji Feng the most was the look of joy and antic.i.p.ation on her face. It was as if she had finally returned to her parents' embrace after a long time; it touched the softest place in Ji Feng's heart.
"Hehe …" Ji Feng faintly smiled as he grabbed the little girl's armpits and lifted her up, allowing her to sit on his lap.
"Daddy!" The little girl happily snuggled up against Ji Feng's chest, looking extremely happy, "Father, Yao Yao misses you. Did you miss Yao Yao too, that's why you came back to see her?"
Hearing her clear childish voice, Ji Feng couldn't help but chuckle. He rubbed her nose and said, "Yao Yao, I am not your father. Didn't your mother tell you just now that I am your uncle Ji Feng?"
In a split-second, the little girl's beautiful eyes, which were originally curved into crescent moons, were suddenly filled with tears. Her small nose started to turn red, and her small hands immediately grabbed onto Ji Feng's clothes tightly.
Ji Feng hurriedly said, "Yao Yao, don't cry. I may not be your father, but I also love you."
The little girl's nose twitched and her little mouth twitched. After a while, she said, "Then can you be a father? Yao Yao really misses Father! "
"..." Ji Feng was dumbstruck, not knowing what to say for a long time.
Tears started to well up in the little girl's beautiful big eyes. Her small hands tightly held onto Ji Feng's sleeves, refusing to let go no matter what.
"Yao Yao, do you really want me to be your father?" Seeing the little girl's aggrieved and disappointed expression, Ji Feng couldn't help but ask.
The little girl nodded with all her might, like a little chick pecking rice.
Ji Feng laughed, "Then let's do it like this. If your mother agrees, I'll take you as my daughter. What do you think?"
The little girl was blinking her big eyes, as if she didn't understand what Ji Feng meant.
"Creaaaak." The kitchen door was pushed open. Qin Shujie wiped her hands as she walked out. She casually asked, "What do you mean by 'adopted a daughter', 'good or not'?"
Ji Feng laughed, "It's like this..."
Who knew that before he could finish his words, Qin Shujie's expression suddenly changed, and she exclaimed, "Ah!"
Qin Shujie's beautiful face was flushed all the way to her ears, as if she was about to bleed. Her gaze was fixated on the frame in Ji Feng's hand. Her beautiful eyes were filled with shyness, appearing extremely awkward. If possible, she really wanted to dig a hole and hide in it!
"You, you two …" Qin Shujie's beautiful face turned red, and she couldn't even speak neatly. She stammered, "How did you …"
Ji Feng lightly coughed before he replied with a smile, "Yao Yao showed this to me."
"This child is really too naughty." Qin Shujie blushed and purposely changed the topic, "About that, I just don't have a photo frame anymore. Last time, I suddenly got interested and took out some photos from my phone, then casually put them inside …" Yao Yao, after eating supper, stop bothering uncle. Mama will send you to bed, okay? "
"I don't want to!"
The girl pouted and snorted.
"You're disobedient again, aren't you?!" Qin Shujie immediately glared at him. "If you don't listen, mother won't like you."
"I want my dad!" The little girl said in a tender voice, yet her little hands were tightly holding onto Ji Feng's arm, unwilling to let go.
Ji Feng laughed, "Shujie, I have something to discuss with you. I hope you don't mind. Of course, if you don't agree, just pretend that I didn't say anything, okay?"
"What is it?" Qin Shujie could not help but be slightly startled.
"It's like this..."
Ji Feng embraced Yao Yao as he laughed, "If you don't object, I intend to take Yao Yao as my daughter. I wonder if you would agree?"
"What?!" Qin Shujie was shocked. She finally understood that when she came out of the kitchen, she heard something about acknowledging a daughter. Ji Feng was talking about this!
"Of course, I just said that I think Yao Yao is very cute. I really like her, but if you don't agree, then just take it as if I didn't say anything." Ji Feng said.
"Of course I have no objections!" Qin Shujie's face instantly lit up, "Yaoyao is lucky to be able to acknowledge you as her G.o.dfather."
"What G.o.dfather!" Ji Feng immediately laughed, "That sounds too much. I'm not that old, but I do recognize her as my daughter. Of course, I can call her father."
"No problem, no problem. As long as Yao Yao agrees, I won't have enough time to be happy!" Qin Shujie said happily.
"Alright then!"
Ji Feng nodded and replied, "From today onwards, Yao Yao will also be my daughter. Of course, the current situation is a bit simpler. When I find a suitable time, I'll officially take Yao Yao as my daughter! "
"It's fine, it's fine. You don't have to care about the form or no form." Qin Shujie was overjoyed. She looked at her daughter Yao Yao, who was in Ji Feng's arms. She couldn't help but say, "Yao Yao, from now on, Uncle Ji Feng is your G.o.dfather. Hurry up and call for help."
"Hi daddy!" Yao Yao said in a tender voice.
"Yao Yao, call me Mr. Qian!" Qin Shujie said in a hurry.
"What do you mean 'Dad doesn't want to do anything'? Since Yaoyao likes it, let's call it 'Dad'!" Ji Feng laughed heartily.
Qin Shujie immediately said anxiously, "How can that be? If your family hears about it in the future, then …"
"I've taken Yao Yao as my daughter in order to let everyone know." Ji Feng waved his hand and smiled, "Since I've already acknowledged Yao Yao, you don't have to worry so much. I know what I'm doing!"
Qin Shujie did not say anything else. She could only sigh to herself as the emotions in her heart became extremely complicated.
"Daddy!" The little girl seemed to have noticed that her mother had agreed. She immediately called out sweetly and struggled to stand on Ji Feng's body. She then pecked him on his cheek. She seemed very happy.
"Sigh!" Ji Feng hugged Yao Yao as he laughed, "Good girl!"
However, what she did not know was that after she called out "father", she had a G.o.dfather that could shake the world, and she would live her entire life under the protection of this newly recognized father's powerful arm!
Afterwards, with Yao Yao as a happy fruit, Ji Feng and Qin Shujie would laugh from time to time. The three of them chatted until the early hours of the morning. Only then did the little girl start yawning and feeling sleepy again.
Ji Feng also stood up to bid his farewells and declined Qin Shujie's offer to send him off. With a smile, he left in large strides.
From the window, she watched Ji Feng drive away. A complicated expression flashed across Qin Shujie's eyes and she could not help but mumble, "What kind of intentions do you have in the end …?"
Qin Shujie was very touched by Ji Feng's actions. Yaoyao had lacked fatherly love since she was young, so every time she came back from kindergarten to pick her up, her little mouth would whisper that her father was the one who came to pick them up.
At the very least, there was no longer any relationship between her and Zheng Haoyu. It was impossible for the two of them to be together again.
But if he were to say that he wanted to find a new father for his daughter …
