Chapter 64: Small interlude
Zhang Xiao turned her head and looked at the little girl in front of him, smiling lightly as she asked: "Mu Ya, what's wrong?"
Mu Ya handed the thing over to Zhang Xiao. Zhang Xiao took a look, it was the doll's head and body. Mu Ya broke the doll into four pieces, and the body that was given to Zhang Xiao had no limbs at all.
"Why did you dismember the doll?" Zhang Xiao took the doll's head and body from the child's hands, and asked the little fellow: "Do you want to take it back?"
Mu Ya nodded.
She would dismember the doll, but not put it back together.
So she took her head and body to ask Zhang Xiao for help.
Zhang Xiao laughed, "Mom will help you put it back together." She caressed the doll's bald head and asked Mu Ya, laughing, "Mommy remembers that this doll has a head full of golden hair, how did you become a baldy?"
Mu Ya turned around and walked away. She walked to the place where she was playing with the toys, and looked for the doll's hair that she had ripped off. She then carried the doll's hands, feet and clothes back to the sofa and handed them all over to Zhang Xiao.
Zhang Xiao found it funny. This little kid actually pulled all of the doll's hair out.
"Mu Ya, your mother can only bring back the doll's four limbs, but not its hair."
Mu Ya blinked her beautiful eyes as she looked at Zhang Xiao.
Zhang Xiao helped her piece the doll's four limbs together and put them back on before handing the doll back to her.
Mu Ya received the doll, but pouted her lips with a dissatisfied look on her face. Her white and tender fingers kept stroking the doll's smooth hair.
Seeing her sad expression, Zhang Xiao tenderly hugged her and let her sit on her lap. She said gently: "Mu Ya, since you know that the doll has lost its hair and became ugly, you should be sad too. When you play with toys in the future, you should learn to love things."
Mu Ya raised her small face, her large eyes still looking at Zhang Xiao with wink.
"Mom."
She seemed to understand what her mother was saying, but what could she do now that she was sad? She thought her mother would be able to help her if she asked for help.
Seeing that she still looked sad, Zhang Xiao gave her a kiss, promising her, "Tomorrow, mom will buy you a new doll, okay? But you can't tear off her hair like you do now. "
"Alright."
Mu Ya replied in a delicate voice.
"Mu Ya will answer mother, it's so good." Zhang Xiao happily kissed her again. She felt that her hard work in teaching had not been in vain, hence she slowly opened her mouth to speak.
Actually, Mu Ya was very smart. She was still unwilling to speak even when she was one and a half years old, and the reason was because everyone doted on her. She didn't need to speak to get what she wanted, she didn't want to waste her energy by saying that.
There was also, of course, a lack of real love.
When she met Zhang Xiao, she thought that she was her mother, so she called him "mother". When a child is learning to speak, the first person to call out is either the mother or the father.
The time that Zhang Xiao had spent with her was actually very short, but he had taught her a few things, allowing her to taste the taste of a mother's love. The child's heart was nourished by love, and her mood was elated.
There was the sound of a car outside.
Mu Chen returned.
Very soon, the steady sound of footsteps could be heard heading to the main house.
Zhang Xiao carried Mu Ya and turned to look at the door. Mu Chen strode in and casually asked: "You're back."
Mu Chen ignored her.
Aunt Lan appeared at the right time to welcome Mu Chen, and respectfully asked: "Third Young Master, do you want to start the meal?"
"No need." He was about to go to a party, so he didn't have to eat at home anymore.
He walked towards the two women on the sofa and did not sit down. Instead, he looked down at Zhang Xiao and said coldly: "It's getting late, why are you still sitting here? Take Mu Ya up the stairs to change.
After he finished speaking, he reached out his hand to hug Mu Ya. The moment he reached out his hand, his indifferent coldness was replaced with benevolence and love. Mu Ya meekly let him carry her. Her daughter's meekness made Mu Chen's love for her grow even stronger.
"Mu Ya, do you miss your father?" Mu Chen kissed her daughter as she asked with a smile.
Mu Ya looked at him, then looked at Zhang Xiao. Seeing that Zhang Xiao had a smile on her face, she also smiled, one hand still holding her doll, while the other hand hugged Mu Chen's neck. Although she didn't say or nod her head, her action made Mu Chen extremely happy, his heart boiling over.
This was the first time in the past year that his daughter had been so intimate with him.
"Mr. Mou, Miss Lu has sent me the evening gown, I asked her to bring it back, because there is a little problem. I think I don't need to change my clothes, that's all. I'm just a nanny anyway, so no one would notice me. " When Mu Chen was in a good mood, Zhang Xiao repeated the same old tune, emphasizing that she did not wear an evening gown. He didn't want the tyrannical chameleon to go somewhere else and force her to change into an evening dress.
As expected, Mu Chen was in a good mood so he was easy to speak to. You go up the stairs first to get Mu Ya's clothes, I will bring Mu Ya to see my brother. " Saying that, he carried Mu Ya and turned to leave.
When Mu Ya was carried by her father, she had still turned her head to look at Zhang Xiao. Zhang Xiao smiled warmly at her, her smile carrying a sense of consolation, letting her know that Zhang Xiao would not take the opportunity to abandon her.
"Mu Ya, why is your doll bald?" As Mu Chen was carrying her daughter out, he noticed that the doll in her daughter's hand had lost its hair, "Your mother bought this doll."
Mu Ya blinked his eyes and did not say a word.
The doll that Mu Chen had doted on and gifted to her daughter had her hair torn off by her daughter, but when he saw her daughter's innocent and slightly sad appearance, he couldn't help but scold her.
The child is too young for her to know how to love.
Hearing Mu Chen's words, Zhang Xiao instinctively looked at the large amount of hair that she had casually placed on the sofa. It was all pulled off by Mu Ya from the head of the doll.
Bending down, she picked up the false hair and studied it, thinking about how to pin it back to the doll's head. It is possible to glue it back with glue, but the effect is definitely not good.
A doll's hair usually goes on a trolley, and there's usually a car department in the factory that specializes in making toys.
She remembered that Haotian Group had a subsidiary company that specialized in producing toys, and there were all kinds of toys involved, so there should be a car launch site, right?
One day, he would ask Yi Xiu Jie and see if he could mend the hair on Mu Ya's doll, so that the love that Ning Tong had left for his daughter would be complete again.
