Just as Weijue was about to step into the restaurant, he felt something heavy on his legs so he looked down and saw Dumpling hugging on to it. “Daddy, father!” Dumpling said joyfully.
Lin Yi: “… ????”
He stared at Dumpling who was hanging on the Emperor’s leg, daddy???!!!
Dumpling showed no sign of letting go. Her father’s new name seemed a little too complicated which was why she almost called him daddy again,
“Father, YinYin had been waiting for you!”
“Father?”, the man questioned.
Dumpling who was still smiling out of joy said, “Daddy, is father!”
After meeting her daddy again, dumpling seemed to have an endless amount of words to say…
She described what just happened in front of the restaurant and then commented gracefully, “Father, I finally got it. The big uncle here is the bad guy and the young brother there is a good man.”
“Yes…Yes of course…”
Wei Yi stopped and looked down at her. He saw that Dumpling’s smile suddenly faded and she said, “Father, if you don’t like YinYin, YinYin will be like the two beggars on the streets. Hungry and hurt.”
Dumpling felt a little aggrieved and also embarrassed. She felt weird that in this world everyone had long hair, wore loose robes, and didnt collect bottles.
When she was starving yesterday, she only got the bun because the uncle selling it felt pity for her. This world is a difficult place to live in and if her daddy didn’t want her anymore then she would be just another beggar on the streets.
The man kept silent. He didn’t chase Dumpling away yet turned around and stared at Master Lin in astonishment.
Dumpling did not realize that; she thought her daddy loved her–the whole time!
Little YinYin continued. She pointed toward her face then showed one of her hands and said, “Father look! YinYin is all clean now!”
Her eyes were surprisingly bright and full of pride, “YinYin is all clean now!
The small and skinny Dumpling asked carefully, “Father was hiding from YinYin?”
Master Lin finally gained insight, so yesterday the kid ran away because she thought her father disliked her.
And today she washed clean and came back again?
He took a closer look at Dumpling’s small face.
After all, she was only a three-year-old. Even though she was indeed cleaner than yesterday but was still not even close to the standards.
At least now the face is visible and her big eyes also seemed quite clear. When that pair of eyes stare at someone, even the bloodiest man would feel guilty refusing her requests.
However, the Emperor was always different.
The Emperor looked indifferent and relentlessly lifted his feet to walk up the stairs.
Xiyuan’s stair steps were slightly higher. As for the three-year-old Dumpling, both the man’s legs and the height of the stairs were too tall.
After she was dragged up a few steps, Dumpling finally couldn’t hold on anymore and fell onto one of the steps.
She took a moment to catch her breath and complained, “Daddy is bad!”
Weijue’s steps paused for an unnoticeable moment
The door closed upstairs and Dumpling was still laying on the stairs. The manager heard the girl calling the guest father, so he didn’t dare to bother.
Master Lin squatted down in front of Dumpling and looked down at her.
He hesitated but still couldn’t resist rubbing her furry little head and said, “Come on, stand up.”
Yinyin was still mad; this man teamed up with her bad daddy. She turned her little away and ignored him.
“Hey, how come you are mad?”
He glanced around and said beside her ears, “Let’s make a deal, shall we?”
“I know lost of secrets about that uncle, but I just want to know why you call the Empe… oh, my grandpa your father? If you tell me, I will award you with something delicious!”
Yinyin’s eyes lit up. This question was too simple for her, she asked, “Real…really?”
“No joke?”
She swallowed and rubbed her belly, so hungry, “Can I eat all I want?”
After getting a positive reply, Yinyin quickly sat up beside Master Lin and said quietly, “Father, my father is daddy.”
Master Lin: “?????”
He touched his forehead, “You called my master father, but as far as I know master never had a child, then how come you call my master father?”
YinYin gave him a strange look. She wasn’t very illiterate, “What does ‘how come’ mean?”
Master Lin replied, “… how come? How come is just like why. A reason for something.”
“Oh, why can’t you understand?”
Master Lin: “…”
“Father is daddy. Daddy is the bast daddy. He braids Yinyin’s hair, buys YinYin dresses, gives YinYin dolls…”
