Chapter 190: Going Home

~8 min read 1,433 words

When the airplane took off, Xiaofeng excitedly pressed against the window to look outside.

The ground grew further and further away, the houses became smaller and smaller, and the city that she had originally thought was huge slowly turned into the appearance of a map on a mobile phone.

"Daddy, we are in the sky!" Xiaofeng said, turning back to Han Yangting.

Han Yangting rubbed her little head: "That's right, my Xiaofeng has gone up to the sky now!"

"Daddy, why can't I see the little birds?"

Han Yangting explained: "The position we are in is too high; little birds cannot fly this high. Does Xiaofeng know about air currents?"

Xiaofeng shook her head: "I don't know."

Han Yangting then took out paper and a pen from the seat pocket behind the airplane seat: "Daddy will draw a picture for you, and you will understand."

Then, he simply drew the ground, the air layers, the position where the airplane was, and the altitude where birds are active, then asked Xiaofeng: "Does Xiaofeng understand now?"

Xiaofeng understood, but she had many questions: "Daddy, what are air currents made of?"

"Daddy, why can't little birds fly high? Are there any little birds that fly especially high?"

Then, they chatted about Dapeng and the Kun that can fly; in short, during the two hours to Beishi, the father and daughter had endless topics to talk about.

After getting off the plane, Han Yangting took Xiaofeng into his arms again.

Xiaofeng said: "Daddy, Xiaofeng can walk by herself. Mommy said that when Xiaofeng grows up, she must walk by herself and cannot let people carry her."

Han Yangting said: "That is because Mommy is not very strong. By Mommy's side, Xiaofeng can walk by herself, but Daddy is strong, so Daddy can keep carrying Xiaofeng."

Xiaofeng couldn't help but smile, then contentedly leaned on her daddy's shoulder.

There were some things she had never told Mommy; in truth, she really envied some of the children in kindergarten, who were either carried by their daddies or could sit on their daddies' shoulders, as if sitting on the shoulders of a giant.

Daddy's strength was truly great; carrying her seemed to take no effort at all, and his arms were as hard as steel, steady and secure.

After leaving the airport, they got into the family car.

Xiaofeng asked Han Yangting: "Daddy, where are we going now?"

Han Yangting rubbed her little head: "Xiaofeng, we are going home, back to your real home."

"Real home?"

"That's right."

"Mommy said that Youfeng Laiyi Homestay is our home."

"That was just a place to stay temporarily; a home without Daddy doesn't count as a real home."

"Then, does a home without Mommy count as a home?"

"Mommy will come over to accompany Xiaofeng sooner or later." Han Yangting pulled Xiaofeng into his arms again.

……

The car slowly drove into the Manor.

Xiaofeng looked at the three castles in front in shock, and she called out excitedly: "Daddy, those are the castles from the books!"

Han Yangting said: "That's right, this is a castle, and it is also Xiaofeng's home."

Xiaofeng stared blankly at the castle, doubting if she was dreaming.

Daddy's home was truly huge, and only Daddy could have such power.

Xiaofeng's admiration for her daddy was like the surging river water, continuous and unending.

She had seen a picture book in kindergarten; inside it was a little girl who didn't have a daddy at first. She was just like a little tadpole looking for its mother, asking everyone she met who her daddy was.

Later, the little girl found out that her daddy had gone to save the world, and when her daddy returned, he brought the little girl many stars.

Xiaofeng had been extremely envious at the time, hoping that when her own daddy returned, he could also bring her something extraordinary.

Xiaofeng asked: "Daddy, where did you go when I was little? Why have you only appeared by my side now?"

Han Yangting thought for a moment and said: "Daddy has a company with over a hundred thousand people in total. Daddy had to work hard to create the conditions for them to make a living, which is why Daddy has only appeared by your side now."

Xiaofeng said sensibly: "Xiaofeng knows now, Daddy went out to save the world."

"Xiaofeng is truly wonderful."

……

At the entrance of Number Two Castle, Ye Caiyue, Han Dongbei, and Han Weimin had been waiting at the door since early in the morning.

Hearing the sound of the car having entered the gate over the butler's walkie-talkie, the three of them couldn't help but walk toward the direction of the garage.

From afar, seeing the car drive over and enter the garage, and then seeing a big person and a small person get out of the car, this family couldn't help but be extremely excited.

Having hoped for a new addition to the family for so long, now that one had suddenly appeared, there was no need to mention how excited they were.

Especially since their branch of the family hadn't had a girl born for a long time; now that a girl had appeared, they were even more unable to contain their excitement.

"So this is Xiaofeng, she looks truly beautiful," Han Dongbei said.

Ye Caiyue asked: "Did you see the child's face clearly? Just saying that."

They were too far away, and could only see a silhouette.

Han Dongbei said: "I saw it clearly; I have the golden eyes of truth that I trained in Africa."

"You're the only one who can say that, but I think the child Xiaofeng's height is quite like Yangting's. Xiaofeng isn't even three years old yet, right? Look, she's almost 100 centimeters tall; is that super tall?"

"It's good for a girl to be a bit tall; in the future, she can play volleyball or basketball."

Han Weimin leaned on his cane and said: "Playing ball is also fine; if she doesn't play well, she will have to come back to inherit the company in the future."

……

Han Yangting saw the few people waiting in the distance.

He picked Xiaofeng up and introduced her to Xiaofeng: "Xiaofeng, those are your biological grandfather and grandmother, and your great-grandfather. They are all very good people and all like you very much."

Xiaofeng's eyes were a little timid.

She had always heard Mommy say that her maternal grandparents had already passed away, but she had never heard Mommy mention a paternal grandfather or grandmother. She had always just called any elderly person she saw 'Grandpa' or 'Grandma'.

So, she also had the legendary grandfather and grandmother.

When they got closer, Ye Caiyue and the others ran over.

"Xiaofeng, let Grandma hold you quickly. Oh my, my little ancestor, why is it that Grandma only gets to see you now? My poor little ancestor, you have finally come home." Ye Caiyue took Xiaofeng into her arms without a word.

Han Dongbei said, "Let Grandpa hold you too; Grandpa has never held such a small baby before."

Han Weimin also chuckled and said, "Then let Great-Grandpa give you a kiss."

Han Weimin kissed Xiaofeng on the cheek, and Xiaofeng laughed and dodged away: "Great-Grandpa's whiskers are prickly."

However, the enthusiasm of her grandparents and great-grandfather finally made Xiaofeng stop being timid; she felt love and warmth from these people, and her heart quickly accepted them.

The whole family welcomed Xiaofeng into the house like stars surrounding the moon.

Once in the living room, Ye Caiyue brought out all the delicious things for Xiaofeng to eat to her heart's content.

Xiaofeng had a small appetite, and after eating a small piece of cake, she couldn't eat any more.

Han Yangting said, "Mom, don't give her too many snacks; if a child eats too many snacks, she won't want to eat her meals."

Ye Caiyue said, "I know, I know, but I just can't help wanting her to eat a little more."

Han Dongbei had bought a set of Africa animal models and also brought them out for Xiaofeng.

Ye Caiyue said, "You should put these things away; don't scare Xiaofeng."

But unexpectedly, Xiaofeng liked these models, and she named all the animals she recognized: "This is a tiger, this is a lion..."

Ye Caiyue praised, "Xiaofeng actually knows English too; Xiaofeng is truly amazing."

When Xiaofeng had seen enough, Ye Caiyue took Xiaofeng's hand again and said, "Xiaofeng, Grandma has already decorated your room for you; would you like to go up and take a look?"
