Chapter 432 - A Little Knot in the Heart (2/2)

Little stars lit up in Little Ying’s eyes. She looked him up and down with some curiosity. Suddenly he remembered something, and he showed him a warm smile and said approvingly, “Daddy is so pretty today! Prettier than all other ladies.” With that said, she clapped her little hands supportively, looking genuinely happy for him.

“…” Should he be glad that his daughter was so supportive? But why did he feel like he was being stabbed?

“Puah!”

“DON’T LAUGH!” He turned and stared towards Chef who was having a hard time suppressing his laughter! What was the problem after all? Wasn’t she only three? How could she know with one look that he was a fake?

“Father Niu, you’d better…”

“Shut up!” Do you have to laugh so hard that you’re trembling? Continue laughing and believe it or not, I will beat you! I really will!

Yi Qing took a deep breath and turned away from Lonemoon’s face which had already started turning green. Only then did he put Shen Ying on the chair beside him. Remembering business, he squatted down at the extremely well-behaved little person and rubbed her red and swollen eyes sadly. He asked seriously, “Did Master… have a bad dream just now? One about horrible things?”

Little Ying tilted her head, looking like she didn’t understand him. After a long while she patted his own little chest and said, “Little Ying is very brave, not scared!”

Yi Qing smiled. “Then did Little Ying… miss Sister?”

She was stunned, and suddenly a bit of timidity showed in her eyes, and her head bowed down. And then, like something was exposed, even her whole small body stiffened, and she didn’t answer for a long time.

Yi Qing felt a panic in his heart somehow. “Little Ying, if you miss her, maybe go back…”

“No!” Before he finished, she suddenly looked up anxiously, and cried out loudly as though she used all the strength in her body, “NOT A BIT!”

With that said, she suddenly and abruptly pushed away Chef, standing in front of her, and leaped down from the chair. She ran quickly towards the inner room, and soon her figure was gone.

Yi Qing was surprised. He turned back blankly towards Lonemoon, who looked similarly confused.

What was… the matter with Master?

“Did she… go back crying just now?”

“…”

The looks of the two changed, and only then they went chasing. They pushed the door and realized that they couldn’t open it.

“It’s locked!”

Yi Qing subconsciously moved to conjure a spell, but Lonemoon suddenly grabbed his hand.

“Wait!” His looks deepened. “I’ll go. Little Ying is different from other kids.” At any rate, he used to babysit his nephew, and had some experience.

After a moment of hesitation, Yi Qing pulled back his hand.
