Chapter 9 - Meow~ (1)
The iron door slammed shut quite forcefully, making a dull, loud noise.
The iron door had been in existence for tens of years. It was as sturdy as it had always been, but it was already covered in rust. Many of the rust fell from the door with Ye Qing’s slam.
Little kiddo Cotton Candy stood outside the door as she stared at the closed door. Stunned, her mouth dropped open.
Did she, Cotton Candy, just get tossed out by her mommy?
But…. Why??? QUQ
She was prepared to be pushed away when she dashed toward her mommy since daddy had told her that mommy didn’t remember anything.
Which was why she held her so tightly.
But, mommy didn’t push her away. Instead, she rubbed her on her cheek and patted her on her head!
Doesn’t one only rub a child’s face and pat her head when one likes the child?
And, and mommy also unwrapped a candy for her!
But, but, then she was tossed out!
The tangerine candy in her mouth started to fall out of her opened mouth. Chen Mien sucked it back subconsciously to keep it from falling out.
The tangerine taste lingered in her mouth; a little bit sweet, and a hint of tanginess that made one yearn for more.
But that tangy taste also spread inside the little girl and made her nose wrinkled.
Baffled, she rubbed her red nose, looked at the great, thick door in front of her, and stood there for a while longer before she turned around and walked into an alley.
At the end of the alley, there was a Cayenne parked under a big tree.
Chen Mien walked to the door of the back seat and reached up to the tall handle. With her face pinched up a bit, she pulled it open and climbed inside before she closed the door behind her.
Next to her, there sat a man in a white shirt and black pants. The top button of his shirt was unbuttoned, giving him an abstinence sexy appeal.
His head was slightly lowered with only his side profile showing. In his left hand, there was a document and a fountain pen in his right hand. He was busy with signing the document.
The document was lifting up in the air with nothing under it. He only had his left hand barely behind it as support. Supposedly, it wouldn’t be too easy to write on it.
That didn’t seem to bother him at all. His right hand with its prominent joints was holding gently onto the gleaming black fountain pen as he casually put down his name.
Chen Qinyan.
Hearing the door opened and closed, he put aside the document that he had just signed and looked up.
He has a feminine look, like that of a cherry blossom.
It was odd to say a man was “pretty”, but he was almost as pretty as a woman.
Plus, the man exuded a sense of sluggishness and coldness so he didn’t seem too feminine, but more of a cold and exotic kind of beauty.
Holding back this entire time, when she finally saw her daddy, little kiddo Chen Mian couldn’t help but throw herself into her daddy’s chest. Her eyes were red. Choking back tears, she said, “Daddy, mommy, mommy tossed me out. Sniffle….”
Chen Qinyan wasn’t too surprised when he heard that. He reached over and collected his daughter onto his thigh and patted her on and off on her back while he listened to her heart-wrenching story of how “mommy was so nice to me at the beginning, but finally threw me out”.
Perhaps, it was because of the drastic difference between the beginning and the ending of the event, Chen Mian was so sad that even her fluffy, white tail was showing.
Chen Qinyan looked at the tail waving back and forth in front of him and stroked the top of his daughter’s head gently as he comforted her, “It’s alright. There is another approach that we can try, but there’s no rush. Let’s go get some food first.”
