Chapter 743: Chapter 743: Dad Will Always Be with You
Tang Yuan was a very lively child, and although she was a girl, she particularly enjoyed rough-and-tumble play rather than Barbie dolls. Yun Xuefei sometimes felt that the child didn’t act like a typical girl and tried to correct her, but Huo Yanzhao thought that his daughter was fine just the way she was, so the gifts he bought her every year were always particularly to her liking.
Therefore, in the little girl’s heart, her father was also a very impressive figure, and she couldn’t wait to share her “battle” achievements with Huo Yanzhao.
Yun Xuefei watched quietly for a while, her eyes suddenly becoming somewhat moist.
Mrs. Wu, without knowing when, had quietly come over and whispered, “Miss, has the master returned?”
“Mm,” Yun Xuefei responded softly.
“I’ll go make some soup for the master.” Mrs. Wu’s voice was filled with satisfaction. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Yun Xuefei paused for a moment, then suddenly spoke, “Mrs. Wu, you go rest, I’ll do it.”
Tang Yuan was not shy with strangers, and once she confirmed that the man in front of her was indeed her father, she spilled all her secrets to Huo Yanzhao like a bamboo tube pouring out beans.
For instance, how she usually “battled”, what kind of forts she had built, and how many times the train had “wrecked”. Huo Yanzhao listened to her childish talk, his lips always curled in an indulgent smile.
The little girl was very pretty, clearly a beauty in the making, her slightly classical facial features almost identical to Yun Xuefei’s.
Looking at his daughter, Huo Yanzhao suddenly became lost in thought.
“Daddy,” the little girl saw him distracted and tugged at his sleeve somewhat displeased, “I haven’t told you about the grand general yet.”
“Tang Yuan,” Huo Yanzhao caught a glimpse of Yun Xuefei’s silhouette entering the kitchen and suddenly said to his daughter, “It’s getting late, how about you go to sleep first?”
“But I still have so much I haven’t told you,” the little girl said, her tone filled with discontent as she plucked at his sleeve.
“Daddy will come listen to you tomorrow.” Huo Yanzhao picked her up.
She opened her eyes wide in surprise, “Really? Daddy, you’re not leaving?”
“I’m not going,” Huo Yanzhao felt a pang in his heart, “Daddy won’t leave anymore, from now on Daddy will play with your advance troops every day, how about that?”
“That’s great!” The little girl’s eyes curved into smiles.
In her memory, her father was someone who would appear for just a day and then vanish, so she treasured the opportunity to tell him everything.
Never had she thought that her father would actually be staying!
She excitedly planted a kiss on Huo Yanzhao’s face, making his heart melt.
“Daddy will always be with you,” he murmured in a low voice, as if speaking to himself.
The little girl, having jabbered a great deal, had already grown tired, and upon learning that her daddy would still be there tomorrow, her nerves relaxed and she quickly fell asleep in his arms.
A tender smile appeared in Huo Yanzhao’s eyes; Mrs. Wu stepped forward, intending to take the child, but he gently waved her off and personally carried his daughter to her room, cleaned her face and feet, changed her into pajamas, and tucked her in.
His movements were not necessarily practiced, but they were extremely careful, and the little girl slept deeply, not at all disturbed.
Mrs. Wu watched, her expression somewhat emotional.
In the kitchen, Yun Xuefei put a bit of salt into the pot and hearing footsteps coming up behind her, she casually said, “Mrs. Wu, you go rest, I’m almost done here.”
“You’re making soup for me?” a deep, slightly husky voice suddenly asked.
