Chapter 290

Seeing that Jiang Yan was not angry, little Klee finally set her heart at ease.

When she heard Jiang Yan wanting to apologize to her, little Klee shook her head hurriedly.

"Daddy doesn't need to apologize to Klee."

Jiang Yan smiled and gently pinched little Klee's soft, tender cheeks.

Afterwards, he looked at Jean, who had stood up in front of him, and Diluc, who was standing on the other side.

"Since Klee has made this choice, I will respect her decision."

"I will have to trouble everyone to take care of little Klee in the future."

Jean and Diluc nodded almost simultaneously and said to Jiang Yan.

"To be specific, we should be the ones thanking you."

"After all, if little Klee were to leave, we wouldn't be willing to let her go either."

Jiang Yan waved his hand gently, not dwelling too much on this topic.

"How many days do you plan to stay here?"

Jean looked at Jiang Yan and asked.

"It won't be too long, just two or three days."

Jiang Yan said softly, then he looked at Klee and said with a smile:

"After all, I still have to go to Klee's mother's place."

"She gave me such a big surprise, I have to thank her properly..."

Jiang Yan emphasized the words "surprise" and "thank" with extra weight.

Jean and Diluc both shivered simultaneously.

Ms. Alice...

It seems she has provoked a trouble that is not easy to resolve...

That's right, both of them heard the thick resentment in Jiang Yan's tone without any surprise.

But Klee didn't understand.

"Eh? Is Daddy going to find Mommy?"

Klee opened her big eyes and looked at Jiang Yan, asking him with some anticipation:

"Then, then can Daddy take Klee with you?"

"Klee hasn't seen Mommy for a long time too!"

The little one's tone carried a deep longing for Alice.

She was left in Mondstadt when she was just two or three years old.

Although Alice would occasionally return a few times, it was only occasionally.

Recently, she hasn't returned at all.

Therefore, Klee really missed her mother.

Jiang Yan smiled; if he were going to find Alice, little Klee couldn't come along.

After all, he was going to "settle accounts" with Alice!

How could Jiang Yan let little Klee come along?

Afterwards, Jiang Yan said to Klee:

"Klee, be good. Daddy needs to spend a lot of effort to find Mommy, so I can't take Klee with me."

"When Daddy comes back, I will bring Mommy back together."

"When that time comes, I'll bring Mommy back to see Klee, okay?"

Hearing that Jiang Yan couldn't take her, a look of deep disappointment flashed in Klee's eyes.

That pitiful little look was about to melt Jiang Yan's heart instantly.

He was truly damned!

How could he have the heart to refuse such a cute little darling?

But Jiang Yan had to refuse.

If Jiang Yan hadn't guessed wrong, Alice should be staying at the edge of Teyvat, guarding the world bubble membrane of Teyvat.

That kind of place was not somewhere Jiang Yan could just take Klee to.

Klee should just stay here obediently; after all, in the Teyvat continent, the surface is considered the safest place for now.

"Will Daddy be like Mommy, leaving and only coming back to see Klee after a long time?"

Klee looked at Jiang Yan, feeling aggrieved.

After all, with Alice as a precedent, little Klee was also afraid that Jiang Yan would not keep his word.

"How could that be? Daddy didn't know Klee was in Mondstadt before."

Jiang Yan rubbed Klee's little head and said softly:

"After Daddy finds Mommy, I will bring Mommy back to see Klee together."

"In the future, when Daddy returns to Liyue for work, I will also come to visit at least once a week."

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, little Klee regained her spirits.

"Really?"

Klee looked at Jiang Yan and then stretched out her soft little pinky finger.

"Then let's pinky swear."

Jiang Yan couldn't help but laugh as he looked at such a cute little darling in front of him.

"Alright, alright, alright, pinky swear!"

Jiang Yan's large hand and little Klee's small hand overlapped, hooking fingers to make a promise.

Although Jiang Yan had said he would accompany Klee for two or three days.

But time passed way too quickly.

Jiang Yan hadn't even fully savored it before five days had passed in the blink of an eye.

He had to leave.

Ganyu was still waiting for his news.

He also had to go to Alice's place.

It was impossible for him to stay in Mondstadt forever to accompany little Klee.

So, on the morning of this day, at the gate of the City of Mondstadt.

Everyone from the Knights of Favonius stood at the gate, looking at the white-haired young man standing there holding Klee.

"Alright, let's stop here."

Jiang Yan gently put Klee down, turned around with a smile, and said to everyone behind him.

"You've only been here for a few days, and you're leaving already?"

Eula's tone carried obvious reluctance.

Jiang Yan hadn't visited in so many years, and now that he had come, he was leaving after only a few days.

How could Eula be happy?

"Hahaha, isn't it because I have things to do? Don't worry, I'll come again in a while."

Jiang Yan looked at Eula's slightly resentful little expression and scratched his head with a smile.

"Hmph! In any case, I've noted down this grudge!"

Eula huffed proudly and turned her head away.

"Hehehe, alright, noted, noted, let's save them all up together."

Jiang Yan looked at Eula with a beaming smile, then he looked at Jean, Diluc, Kaeya, and the others, and said:

"Then, I'll leave Klee to your care."

"If there are any problems, or if Klee causes any trouble, educate her as you should."

As the guardian appointed by Alice, Jean nodded and said to Jiang Yan:

"Mr. Jiang Yan, rest assured, we will definitely take good care of little Klee."

Jiang Yan nodded upon hearing Jean's assurance, and then he squatted down to tidy up little Klee's hair.
