Xu Yixue also stopped the confrontational attitude toward Xu Fan and calmly stood in front of Tongtong.
Family quarrels can have the worst impact on a child’s growth, and Xu Yixue knew that, so she immediately stopped arguing with Xu Fan. But then it dawned on her that she and Xu Fan were hardly a family, pah, pah, pah, she didn’t want to become a family with him.
While Xu Yixue was still internally cursing Xu Fan, Tongtong had already taken Xu Yixue’s hand gently and obediently said, “Daddy, Mommy, you both must promise Tongtong, never to leave Tongtong.”
“Don’t worry, my good daughter, your dad will never leave you.”
“Baby Tongtong, Mommy will also never leave you.”
Upon hearing this, Tongtong’s little face smiled like a blossoming flower, and she clumsily placed Xu Yixue’s slender, white hand gently on Xu Fan’s strong hand.
“Mommy and Daddy should make up,” Tongtong said happily.
“Ah!” Xu Yixue’s pretty face chilled, and she was about to withdraw her hand from Xu Fan’s when his wrist moved like lightning, capturing her hand in his palm.
“Baby Tongtong, look, haven’t your mommy and daddy made up?” Xu Fan shook their clasped hands at Tongtong.
Tongtong clapped her little hands and adorably exclaimed, “Daddy and Mommy are so romantic.”
Having her hand held by Xu Fan’s larger one, Xu Yixue could hardly exert any strength and felt both ashamed and angered.
But Xu Fan kept making eye signals at her and mouthing the words “acting” at Xu Yixue.
Even though Xu Yixue was extremely unwilling, for her beloved daughter, she had to give in and let Xu Fan hold her white, delicate hand.
She had come today to pick up Tongtong, but instead of taking Tongtong away, she ended up in Xu Fan’s arms and holding his hand again, making Xu Yixue feel like she had lost more than she had bargained for.
No, she had lost both herself and her precious daughter.
A heavy loss.
Yet, Tongtong didn’t realize that Xu Yixue was close to hating Xu Fan to death; she was clapping her hands and egging them on, “Daddy and Mommy should kiss.”
“Baby Tongtong, who taught you such nonsense?” Xu Yixue, annoyed, flung Xu Fan’s hand away and asked Little Tongtong sternly.
“Tongtong saw it on TV, all the mommies and daddies on TV kiss,” Tongtong said feeling wronged.
“Mommy can only kiss Tongtong, not anyone else,” Xu Yixue rubbed Tongtong’s little head, picked up the little rascal, and spoke somewhat helplessly.
“Okay then, Tongtong will kiss Mommy for Daddy,” Tongtong said, and before Xu Yixue could react, she kissed Xu Yixue on the cheek.
“Oh dear, such a little devil,” Xu Yixue blushed, her precious daughter actually talked about kissing on Xu Fan’s behalf; while it was innocent from her, it sounded far too ambiguous to Xu Yixue.
Xu Fan also secretly thought, Good Girl, how can you exercise your dad’s rights on his behalf? If dad wanted to kiss, he would definitely do it himself, oh no, with his own lips.
After kissing Xu Yixue, Tongtong proudly shook her pigtails and then coaxed Xu Fan, “Daddy come here quickly.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Fan leaned in close to Tongtong.
Tongtong puckered her little lips and planted a heavy kiss on Xu Fan’s cheek.
“Daddy, this is for Tongtong to give Mommy a kiss.” Tongtong nestled her head on Xu Yixue’s fragrant shoulder and said proudly.
“Haha, good girl, you really know how to treat your old man well,” Xu Fan laughed heartily upon hearing this.
Xu Yixue covered her head in confusion, realizing that she’d indeed been tricked by this clever little rebel.
“Mommy, Daddy, I want to play with my aunt. You guys talk,” the little girl writhed out of Xu Yixue’s embrace and skipped over to Ye Xiaoning, then said to her cutely, “Auntie, Tongtong wants a hug.”
“Weren’t you saying you didn’t want your aunt anymore?” Ye Xiaoning looked at the exquisitely adorable little girl and simply couldn’t be mad at her.
“Tongtong was wrong. Can Auntie punish Tongtong by making me kiss Auntie a hundred times?” Tongtong pinched her little hand as if she was a child who had done something wrong.
Ye Xiaoning scooped her up, but deliberately kept her face a little distance from Tongtong’s and cautiously said, “Tongtong, you little clever pixie, you can kiss all you want, but you can’t kiss your aunt for someone else, okay?”
“Tongtong knows.” Tongtong giggled.
Xu Yixue in the room immediately blushed at Ye Xiaoning’s words, stealing a glance at Xu Fan. Seeing that his expression was unchanged, she took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
Ye Xiaoning, holding Tongtong, gently left the bedroom, leaving only Xu Fan and Xu Yixue.
After a long silence, Xu Yixue was the first to speak, “Xu Fan, I know you love Tongtong, but she is my daughter, and I must take her with me.”
“We had agreed to let Tongtong stay with me for five days. Taking her away now is not cool, is it?” Xu Fan said indifferently.
“I only wanted to take her because I thought the environment at your old rental place was too poor for her.” Xu Yixue argued.
“And what about this place now? I, Xu Fan, can suffer, but how could I bear to make my daughter suffer with me?” As Xu Fan spoke, his brow and eyes revealed a tender emotion.
“But only with me can Tongtong enjoy the best resources and grow up healthy,” Xu Yixue still stood her ground.
“Healthy growth? Is growing up without a father’s love also called healthy growth?” Xu Fan retorted with a scoff.
“At least being without a father is better than having a bad father,” Xu Yixue remembered the Xu Fan of the past, the difficult life she led in America with her daughter as a single mother, and her eyes hardened with resolve.
“The injustice I encountered before, I will take it back with my own hands, every single thing I am owed, I will personally reclaim.” At this moment, Xu Fan’s eyes shone with a dominance that seemed to look down upon the world.
Soon after, his gaze softened again.
“The fatherly love I owe Tongtong, I will repay a thousandfold. I want to be the best dad in the world! I will make Tongtong the happiest little princess on this earth.”
“Whatever you say now is useless. At least I won’t believe you anymore,” Xu Yixue sighed and replied resolutely.
“Then at least let me have the full five days with Tongtong, as we had agreed before,” Xu Fan said softly.
Xu Yixue was about to speak when her phone started to ring.
Upon seeing the caller ID, Xu Yixue answered the phone with a frown.
Soon after hanging up, Xu Yixue’s face changed abruptly, and she resumed her imposing demeanor as a domineering female CEO.
“Keep Tongtong with you for now. I have to go back to the company,” Xu Yixue said before walking out without looking back.
