Chapter 125: Chapter 125: You Can’t Hide When You Blossom
Tao Ti snuggled in Grandpa Fensi’s arms, looking up at the blossoms above his head. She pressed her lips together and smiled, revealing two small dimples.
She didn’t know why Grandpa Fensi had more flowers than her older and second brothers; it must be because he loved her more!
He was the person with the most blossoms on their head that she had ever seen.
As she watched, the corners of her eyes started to turn red, and her eyes filled with tears.
“Why are you crying again, Clownfish will be fine, don’t cry my dear…”
Listening to Grandpa Fensi’s gentle and loving voice by her ear, she thought of her own grandfather and lowered her head, sobbing softly, “I miss Grandpa…”
“Aren’t I right here?”
Tao Mo didn’t realize at first, it was only after Qin Xin nudged him that he understood. The “Grandpa” his granddaughter was talking about must be the one in the mountains.
The old man’s heart felt bittersweet, envious of that elderly man, but when he thought about how that man had gotten seriously injured in the hospital to protect his granddaughter from being kidnapped by a corrupt company, the jealousy and bitterness vanished.
After Chen Bin served as a tainted witness, he revealed everything he knew, including how Zhang Cuilian had injured the old man.
Since Zhang Cuilian was already in prison for child trafficking, adding the charge of nearly killing an elderly person would likely extend her sentence.
“You miss Grandpa, so let’s go visit your grandfather, shall we?” Tao Mo asked tenderly.
Tao Ti lifted her head, her eyelashes wet with tears, blinked, and her eyes sparkled brightly, “Can we?”
“Yes! We’ll take Xiao Tie the little airplane this time. It’s fast, and you’ll see your grandpa very soon!”
“Thank you, Grandpa Fensi.” Tao Ti gave a soft smile, her little dimples deepening, adorable and squishy, her eyes bright with joy.
Handing over his little granddaughter to another old man mixed feelings in the elder’s heart, making the title ‘Grandpa Fensi’ somewhat painful to bear.
The assistant hurried to arrange for a helicopter, while Qin Xin called to cancel the following journeys.
The assistant arranged for a business helicopter, which aside from the pilot and copilot, had four seats in the back.
Little Taotie wanted to sit in the copilot seat as soon as she boarded the plane, showing the pilot a soft smile, her dimples deep, looking both sweet and adorable, “Uncle, I’ll be good, can I sit here?”
Tao Mo, Cheng Guodong, Qin Xin, and the assistant, all four adults wanted to coax Little Taotie to the back seats, but she insisted on sitting in the copilot seat, enjoying the expansive view and the feeling of flying.
The pilot was a stern middle-aged man who disliked children, always associating them with danger and restlessness. He never allowed children to sit in the copilot seat, fearing they might recklessly press something.
Normally, he would have refused a child as he had always done.
This helicopter had been used by the old man ever since he bought it, so the pitiful children who had been refused included Tao Shen and Tao Bin.
But this time, facing the child’s sweet and soft smile, the refusal got stuck in his throat, unable to be spoken, as his head reacted on its own, nodding subconsciously.
“Thank you, uncle! You’re so nice!” Little Taotie tilted her head, beaming a big smile at him, her eyes curving into crescents and her pupils shining like they were filled with stars, her teeth white and neatly small.
Um! Too cute! Suffocating! This kid’s smile is totally cheating!
The pilot tried to maintain a stern face, responding expressionlessly.
But in Little Taotie’s perspective, the uncle with the stern face slowly sprouted a small flower on his head, which quickly grew rampant, his head covered with blossoms, instantly blooming!
She giggled, delighting in her secret joy.
The uncle must like me a little!
