Mrs. Mu Lan sighed helplessly and instructed, "Take good care of Suisui, don’t just focus on yourself."
Quan Jin replied, "Mm, I know."
Once Mrs. Mu Lan reluctantly returned to her seat, Quan Jin finally lifted little Suisui up.
Suisui pressed her lips tightly, having been in his arms for a while, her little face beca warm, and a few fine strands of hair clung to her forehead. He reached up to brush them aside, a natural move that even surprised Quan Jin himself.
"Are you afraid of them?" he asked directly.
Suisui didn’t answer, still snuggling into Quan Jin’s embrace. This little beast-like deanor clearly showed she was afraid, muttering softly, "Hold tight, hold tight."
"Alright, I’m holding you."
"Hold tighter~"
"Holding tight, is this not tight enough? How should I hold you?"
Suisui nestled in Quan Jin’s arms without moving, even though she was hot, fear outweighed her discomfort.
Quan Jin suddenly realized, if he didn’t care about this little girl, it was fine, but once he cared, his heart seed to lt with her voice.
He could hardly believe such an adorable cub was his daughter.
He lifted Suisui slightly, supporting her back with his arm, holding her this way, Suisui’s shoes would step on his pants. Usually, Quan Jin would have let go of soone like that, but now not only did he not mind, he let Suisui’s feet rest on his pants.
Suisui looked at Quan Jin expectantly.
Quan Jin looked at Suisui with mixed feelings.
Father and daughter stared at each other, both familiar and unfamiliar.
"Where’s your mom?" he suddenly asked.
Suisui pressed her lips tightly without answering.
Without an answer, Quan Jin continued to ask, "Tell , where’s your mom?"
Suisui still didn’t answer, but her pursed lips began to droop further, the arc of the moon changing direction.
Quan Jin imdiately realized, the little girl was about to cry.
Panicking, he set her down on his lap, fumbling awkwardly, unsure what to do: "Well, it’s almost ti for dinner, please don’t cry."
Suisui’s muffled voice ca, "I want mommy."
"You’re looking for mommy?"
"I want mommy."
"But you haven’t had dinner yet, have you?" Quan Jin rembered what grandma instructed, trying to coax the little girl, "Let’s eat first, then I’ll take you to find mommy, and we can bring her dinner too."
Suisui’s pouted lips beca more and more difficult to keep closed, her eyes like grapes were already brimming with tears, almost rolling down, even her eyelids turned a rosy pink.
Quan Jin, seeing Suisui about to burst into tears, felt helpless and quickly promised, "Alright, alright, don’t cry, I’ll take you to find mommy now."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Suisui imdiately hugged Quan Jin’s neck.
Holding tightly, resting her head on his arm, sobbing silently.
Quan Jin listened to the silent sobs, her small shoulders trembling close to him, he could clearly feel it, his heart ached.
Just a short absence from mommy caused so much sadness?
Looks like he would have to fight for custody, try raising his daughter by his side.
Perhaps in the future, she would also rely on him like this.
Quan Jin stood up holding Suisui, everyone had witnessed the scene earlier, and when he stood, it didn’t surprise them. Quan Jin said to the matriarch sitting in the main seat, "Grandma, I’m taking her out for a bit."
Yu Rujin had also seen the scene earlier, hearing Quan Jin say he was taking Suisui out, surely going to Yuanyuan, he was more than happy.
He quickly waved his hand, "Go on, go on, I’ll have soone send dinner to you later."
Quan Jin wanted to say, I’m not eating over there, the words were on the tip of his tongue but remained unsaid, nodding before leaving with Suisui.
The courtyard lights had already been turned on.
A crescent moon hung in the night sky, with stars all over, indicating another good day tomorrow.
The flowers outside the corridor blood in abundance, still those water lilies in the pond, in their pri, but Quan Jin had no mood to appreciate them, he only wanted to return the little girl to that woman’s side, then return to his seat.
"I want~"
The little girl in his arms suddenly pointed to a spot.
Quan Jin halted, looked down at the little girl in his arms, even he was surprised by the gentleness in his voice when he asked, "What do you want?"
Suisui pointed to a spot.
Just now, Quan Jin hadn’t noticed, but following the direction Suisui pointed, he saw the pond where those blooming water lilies were particularly beautiful.
Quan Jin frowned, asking, "You want that thing?"
Suisui pouted silently, looking at Quan Jin.
