Back For My Daughter Novel

Chapter 24 - Lioness


Ye Qian stood in front of the supermarket and sighed after taking a deep breath, he turned to Little Qiqi who was looking at the bag and said while smiling, “Qiqi, do you like this bag, how about Papa take it for you?”

Little Qiqi looked at him and smiled, her eyes turned crescent as she smiled, shook her head and reassured “Papa I do like it but there is no need and I have this Doremon bag and I can’t just leave it, I love it so much.”

Though it looked like she didn’t want it, she could not take her eyes off the Panda bag no matter what.

“Alright if Qiqi doesn’t want it then Papa won’t force Qiqi.”

“Butterfly how about we go to the house and you can have lunch.”

Ye Qian asked as he started walking away.

Little Qiqi smiled at him and exclaimed, “No, Papa I have to meet Grandpa Wang and others, we must go to Old Age Home. I told them that I will come today to play with than as tomorrow there will be a vacation.”

“Ok then tell me where is the Old Age Home, so I can carry my small Piggy.”

“Hehe Papa I am not a Piggy, I am Butterfly.”

Little Qiqi giggled as she played with Ye Qian’s hair.

“Ok, my Butterfly.”

Ye Qian smiled and nodded.

‘I will definitely buy that bag for her tonight, she will definitely feel happy.’

Ye Qian thought as he continued to walk.

“Papa take right from here!”

Little Qiqi continued to give him directions to the Old Age Home.

__________

Soon Ye Qian arrived in front of a three-storeyed building.

“Papa this is the Old Age Home.”

Little Qiqi exclaimed.

The area surrounding the building was covered with plants and grass.

“Papa let’s go in.”

Ye Qian nodded and went to the entrance of the building.

“Wait who are you?”

A loud voice interrupted Ye Qian as he was about to enter the entrance.

“Ahh, Uncle Le, he is Qiqi’s Papa.”

Little Qiqi called out from Ye Qian’s back as she heard the voice.

A middle-aged man appeared in front of Ye Qian with a guard stick in his hand.

“Hey, Little Qiqi is that you?”

The Guards eyes widened as a bright smile appeared on his face as he called out for Little Qiqi.

“Hello, Uncle Le.”

Little Qiqi looked up by stretching her neck from Ye Qian’s back and chuckled.

The Guard Le saw a little head popped out from behind the back of the man who wanted to enter and looked.

“Oh, it really is you Little Qiqi. How come you are so early?”

The man named Le asked as he smiled at her.

“Today Papa came to receive me after school so I am early.”

Little Qiqi said.

“Oh, come in then.”

The guard called Ye Qian and closed the entrance again.

After closing the gate he asked.

“Hey, Little Qiqi who is this?”

“Uncle he is Qiqi’s Papa.”

Little Qiqi babbled as she smiled.

The guard nodded, he seemed to not have heard Little Qiqi before as she mentioned Ye Qian.

“Uncle where are Grandpa Wang and others?”

Little Qiqi asked as Ye Qian slowly lowered her on her foot.

“They might be reading newspapers or playing.”

He replied.

Meanwhile, Ye Qian looked around the Old Age Home.

The building seemed to be kept under proper care and health conditions and the facilities were also good.

“Oh, uncle I will go meet them with Papa now, bye.”

Little Qiqi smiled as she said and turned around to take Ye Qian’s hand and started to drag him forward.

“Papa let’s go I will introduce Grandpa Wang, Yan, and Grandma Xue to you.”

“Alright.”

Ye Qian nodded and walked with her as she dragged him in excitement.

After a minute or two they arrived at a small hall where many Old Men were talking or playing some board game while the Women were watching some shows.

As Little Qiqi dragged Ye Qian she peeked her head through the door and looked in the hall.

“Hehehe.”

She then started to giggle.

Hearing the giggling the people turned to the source and exclaimed as they called out happily.

“Oh look our little Qiqi is here.” An old man who was reading a newspaper called out as he smiled and carefully placed the newspaper.

“Here, Qiqi give your grandma Xue a hug.” An old woman who sat on the sofa called as she opened her arms.

“Hehe, here I come Grandma Xue.” Little Qiqi let go of Ye Qian’s hand and ran to the old lady and hugged her.

“Oh, my dear I how come you are so early today?”

Grandma Xue asked as she freed Little Qiqi from her.

“Oh, today the teacher left me early.”

“How come she left you early?”

“Today my Papa came to get me from school so she sent me early.”

Little Qiqi said as she turned to the door and called excitedly.

“Papa come in quick.”

Ye Qian who was at the door standing and seeing the things happening was feeling warm in his heart when he heard Little Qiqi calling him, so he quickly went into the hall and smiled at Little Qiqi.

As he entered the people looked at him with a hostile gaze.

Ye Qian felt awkward as they saw him like this.

Meanwhile, Grandma Xue who was near Little Qiqi felt the atmosphere might affect her, thus she smiled and said.

“Hey Qiqi when did your Papa come back?”

Understanding what she meant the others also smiled and looked at Little Qiqi.

“Hmm, Grandma, Papa came yesterday. And he even made delicious food for Qiqi and Mumma, he even made breakfast today.”

“Oh, so Qiqi’s Papa knows how to cook.”

Grandma Xue tried to ease the situation a little by diverting Little Qiqi’s attention.

Meanwhile, the old men looked at Little Qiqi while smiling and said.

“Hey, Qiqi how about you play with Grandma Xue and Grandma Lin. We want to talk to your Papa.”

“Yes, Grandpa Wang, Qiqi will play with you after you are done talking with Papa.”

Little Qiqi smiled and nodded to him as she went with the old women in the other hall.

Ye Qian waved at Little Qiqi as the latter waved at him while leaving.

“Cough, Ahem, Cough”

Seeing that Little Qiqi and other women were out, the old men turned to Ye Qian while trying to have his attention.

Ye Qian turned to them and his smile turned stiff.

“So Young man you are Little Qiqi’s father?”

Grandpa Wang asked in a stern voice.

“Yes sir.”

Ye Qian smiled awkwardly as he felt like he was in court and was about to be sentenced to death.

“So where were you all this time?”

Another man asked.

“I was working and was in other nations all this while.” Ye Qian replied.

“Oh, I am really interested to know what work it is where you can even contact your family, or is there some other reason for leaving the Yuan girl when she was pregnant with your child?”

Grandpa Wnag peered into his eyes as he asked again.

“I didn’t want to leave Mengmeng alone in such situations, but we were picked without notice, I was working for national security and the mission there were confidential and we were not allowed to even say anything to our family and were not allowed to contact them later.”

Ye Qian said as guilt was clearly seen on his face.

Though what he said wasn’t true at all, he still felt guilty for Yuan Meng and Little Qiqi.

Listening to him and seeing that he was also feeling guilty and ashamed of, the men turned to each other and nodded.

“Do you know how much Little Qiqi missed you and how much the Yuan girl has been suffering? It was just about two years that Little Qiqi comes to us.”

“But before that girl Yuan … Sigh”

Grandpa Wang sighed.

“But now that you are here, are you going to always be with them or?”

“No, I am always be staying with them now.” Ye Qian declared as he clenched his fists.

Seeing his determination Grandpa Wang smiled.

“So why did you brought Qiqi here you should have brought her home after school.”

“Umm Butterfly insisted that she wanted to meet you and there was vacation tomorrow so she won’t be able to meet you for two days.”

“Oh Butterfly, that’s kind of cute. You have to treat them properly and keep your relation good. The Yuan girl is very …. sigh.” Another man said as he shook his head.

“Haha, Little Qiqi is such a good child not forgetting us after she got what she always wanted.”

“Now that everything has been smothered shouldn’t we have some celebration.”

“Brat how about you donate some good wine to the old age home here. We haven’t had wine for ages now.”

Suddenly Grandpa Wang took a180 degrees turn.

“What are you saying, Old Wang?”

Suddenly a thunderous voice came from the door.

The old men started to tremble in fear after hearing the voice.

From the door came Grandma Xue came in with other Old ladies while Little Qiqi followed them as they giggle.

‘Oh shit, the lioness is back.’

‘Need to think of some excuse.’

All the men thought as the old ladies entered.
