Chapter 106 - Deity (1/2)
”Daddy, are you a deity?”
”What do you mean, Ming Ming, how could I be a deity? I'm a normal human being. I wish I could fly and have superpowers, but I don't.”
”But you can make so much good food, you also always make me happy, every time I'm sad I think about you and your food and I smile. Please never leave me.”
Wang Ming didn't know why Ming Ming suddenly got so emotional, but seeing that she spread her arms out wanting a hug, he grabbed her and gave her a big hug.
”I agree with Ming Ming, who are you, Wang Ming? I thought you were a normal man, selling food to earn a living. I still remember you selling food at the FengShong market, but now only a month has passed. You've not only opened a restaurant which I keep hearing about from my customers but see I also see it in the news all the time. You've proven multiple times that you are an incredible chef, I thought you could only cook meat, but now you're also a sweets expert? How in the world did a person like you end up like that in a wheelchair? Should I be happy that you are Ming Ming's godfather or scared? Who are you?”
”I… I'm just a troubled man, Fu Ya. I won't be the best godfather for Ming Ming, I've accepted that, no one probably has the confidence to say that they will be the best father. But I'm going to try my best to always be there for her and you whenever you guys need my support.”
Wang Ming wanted to tell her about the problems he was facing, like Bo Hou Zhang the HouZi gang and how he's affiliated to the Wang Gang, but didn't know how to start. Was it right for him to burden Fu Ya with something like this? He would probably lose her and Ming Ming forever if he told her.
”I've cooked for most of my life, it's just that I've never had an opportunity until now. I learned to cook from the chefs working for my father, I've also worked in his restaurant for most of my life, it seemed like he wanted to make me into his cash cow, so he also sent me to different culinary schools to learn. As for other things, I can't tell you now.”
Fu Ya didn't know what to say or think. She felt assured that Wang Ming didn't have any ill intentions. But then she just didn't understand what he wanted. Did he want her? But then he had made no advances on her, he's also been great to both her and Ming Ming.
Even though he told her about his past, she could sense that Wang Ming's still hiding a lot from her, wasn't she trustworthy enough? Or is he hiding a dark secret?
Fu Ya took a deep breath, trying to gather her thoughts, which made Wang Ming nervous. He felt like his relationship with Ming Ming had always been hanging by a thread.
”Honestly, you don't seem like a bad guy, everybody have their own secrets, I have mine too. If you don't feel like telling us now, it doesn't matter as long as you keep treating Ming Ming and me with love and respect.”
After saying her piece, Fu Ya blushed, realizing what she had said. It had come out unconsciously.
”I meant Ming Ming, not me.”
Hearing Fu Ya correcting herself made Wang Ming laugh, even if she didn't think of him as anything special, Fu Ya now have a special place in his heart.
Though this also made him conflicted as before there he only had Lang Lin in his heart an angel he saw every day in his dark life. He wouldn't say that he loves Fu Ya or Lang Lin, but it's definitely a lie if he said that it's far from love.
”Ming Ming is so adorable I'll snatch her away from you if I find out you mistreat her.”
Fu Ya didn't expect Wang Ming to joke like that, but at least he didn't mention her mistake so she just laughed, but hear laugh stifled when she heard what Ming Ming said.
”I love you mom and daddy! Let us live together from now on.”
It even caught Wang Ming off guard, just thinking about living with a beautiful woman like Fu Ya every day made his body hot.
”I would love to live with you, Ming Ming, but I'm not married to your mom. Remember, I'm your godfather, but you can come to Daddy's house whenever you want. ”
”Now, let us finish the candy, okay? Don't you want to eat it? Ming Ming.”
