Chapter 589 - The Little Girl's Dependence
”Daddy ~!”
”You're finally here, I missed you!”
These two lines were filled with a childish melody, causing the soft spot in Ji Feng's heart to be touched in an instant.
When the little girl called out the word 'father', her warmth and reliance made everyone's heart soften. Ji Feng was not a cold-blooded person, so he was naturally moved.
Ji Feng hugged Yao Yao's small body and laughed: ”Yao Yao, you've been waiting for so long? Why didn't you go to sleep first? ”
”I can't sleep!”
Hearing this, Yao Yao hurriedly shook her head. ”If I fall asleep, when father comes he'll only secretly look at Yao Yao and then leave. That way Yao Yao won't be able to see father anymore.”
Ji Feng could not help but feel a burst of sympathy in his heart. This little girl was really … Every word touched the hearts of others.
Perhaps this was the truest thought of a child of her age, but the more true it was, the more it would give people a deep impression and stir their hearts.
If an adult were to speak like that in front of Ji Feng, Ji Feng would probably kick him out with a cold kick. However, from Yao Yao's mouth, this sentence caused everyone's heart to tremble.
Ji Feng used both hands to hold Yao Yao's armpits, lifting her up, ”Yao Yao, can we go in first?”
”Good ~!”
Yao Yao lightly nodded her head twice.
Ji Feng laughed heartily and carried the little girl in.
When they arrived at Qin Shujie's house, Ji Feng discovered that almost all of the lights in the house were on. The bedroom, the second bedroom, the living room, the dining room, the kitchen and the bathroom … Even the ceiling lights were turned on, the living room was lit, and so was the bedroom.
Ji Feng couldn't help but smile. A child was like this. If there was no one accompanying them at night, they wouldn't dare to sleep. Even if they turned on all the lights, they might be afraid when they saw a shadowy place.
Clearly, Yao Yao was even more timid.
On the other hand, it was because of Yao Yao's childhood environment. Without her father's care, her little heart was filled with fear of her surroundings, the kind of fear and loneliness that no one could rely on, and only Ji Feng, who came from a single parent family, could truly experience it.
It was a kind of. Desolation!
But now, this kind of emotion that would normally cause the hearts of adults to turn cold filled the heart of this little girl, Yao Yao.
… …. How could they not be heartbroken?
Ji Feng placed Yao Yao on the ground. Only now did he realize that Yao Yao's bare feet, although very cute, had already turned red from the cold … It was already late autumn, and the morning and night were chilly.
”Yao Yao, why aren't you wearing socks?” Ji Feng asked.
”I can't find it...” Yao Yao said in an extremely pitiful manner.
Ji Feng laughed involuntarily. He said, ”Then forget it, we should go to sleep anyway. However, you must wear your socks tomorrow after you wake up. Remember that?”
”Un, I'll remember it!” Yao Yao vigorously nodded her head.
Ji Feng smiled as he patted her head and said, ”Alright, it's time to sleep …”
”Dad, can we sleep later?” Yao Yao didn't wait for Ji Feng to finish his sentence. She quickly got up from the sofa, grabbed Ji Feng's arm, and pitifully said, ”I want to see father for a very long time. Can I sleep later today?”
”... ”Alright!”
Hearing Yao Yao's words, Ji Feng felt his heart aching. He nodded and smiled, ”But we can only play for a little while. Tomorrow isn't a weekend, right? You want to go to school, you know? ”
”Un, let's play for a bit!” Hearing this, Yao Yao immediately happily nodded, ”Father is the best!”
If not for his contact with Yao Yao, Ji Feng really wouldn't have known that he had the talent to coax children. But now, hearing Yao Yao's childish voice, he couldn't help but smile in his heart.
”Yao Yao, didn't I remember that there was a nanny taking care of you in your house? Where is she? ” Ji Feng asked.
Ji Feng remembered that Qin Shujie once said that usually when she left, the family would arrange for a nanny to take care of Yao Yao. Moreover, Yao Yao liked to eat at night, so there was no lack of nannies.
The last time Ji Feng came, he saw that nanny. She seemed to be a very honest, middle-aged woman. Why didn't he see her now?
”Nanny?” Yao Yao didn't quite understand. Biting her little finger that was as white as an onion, she doubtfully asked, ”Father, what is a nanny?”
”... Who was that … I think it's Mrs Zhang. Where's Mrs Zhang? ” Ji Feng asked.
Ji Feng remembered that the nanny in Qin Shujie's house was called Mrs Zhang. Because he had not paid attention to her at that time, he did not remember her too clearly.
”Oh, Mrs Zhang went out!” Yao Yao said.
Ji Feng couldn't help but laugh. It could be seen that Qin Shujie's education towards Yao Yao's family was quite good. She didn't even tell Yao Yao that Mrs Zhang was the babysitter. This was to prevent Yao Yao from having a sense of inferiority from a young age.
However, Ji Feng still frowned. If Mrs Zhang went out, how could she leave a three or four year old child like Yao Yao at home?
”He went out?” Ji Feng then asked, ”What about mother? Did Mom tell you when she was coming back? ”
