Chapter 609

Seeing that Jiang Yan was not angry, Little Klee finally felt relieved.

Upon hearing that Jiang Yan intended to apologize to her, Little Klee immediately shook her head.

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

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

Afterwards, he looked at Jean, who had stood up before him, and Diluc, who stood on the other side.

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

"Little Klee will still need to trouble everyone to take care of her in the future."

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

"To be specific, it should be us thanking you."

"After all, if Little Klee were to leave, we would be reluctant too."

Jiang Yan gently waved his hand and did not dwell on this topic too much.

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

Jean looked at Jiang Yan and asked.

"The time will not be too long, just two or three days."

Jiang Yan spoke softly, then 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 must properly thank her..."

Jiang Yan emphasized the words "surprise" and "thank" exceptionally heavily.

Jean and Diluc both shivered instantly.

Lady Alice...

Seems to have provoked a trouble that is not easy to resolve...

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

But Klee did not understand.

"Eh? Is Daddy going to find Mommy?"

Klee looked at Jiang Yan with her big eyes wide open and asked him expectantly:

"Then, then can Daddy take Klee along?"

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

The little one's expectation was filled with deep longing for Alice.

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

Although Alice would return occasionally, it was only occasionally.

Recently, she hasn't returned at all.

So, Klee indeed misses her mother very much.

Jiang Yan smiled; if he were to go find Alice, Little Klee could not follow.

After all, he was going to go find Alice to 'settle the score'!

How could Jiang Yan let Little Klee follow along?

Afterwards, Jiang Yan said to Klee:

"Klee be good; if Daddy goes to find Mommy, it will take a lot of effort, so I cannot take Klee."

"When Daddy returns, I will also bring Mommy back with me."

"At that time, I will bring Mommy back to visit Klee, okay?"

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

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

He truly deserves to die!

Such a cute little toddler; how could he bear to refuse?

But Jiang Yan had to refuse.

If Jiang Yan guessed correctly, Alice should currently be at the edge of Teyvat, guarding the bubble film of the Teyvat world.

That kind of place is not a place Jiang Yan could just take Klee to casually.

Klee should stay here obediently; after all, within the Teyvat continent, the surface is currently the safest place.

"Will Daddy, like Mommy, leave and then only return to see Klee once after a long time?"

Klee looked at Jiang Yan aggrievedly.

After all, with Alice as a precedent, Little Klee was also afraid Jiang Yan would break 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."

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

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Little Klee finally cheered up again.

"Really?"

Klee looked at Jiang Yan, then extended her soft little pinky finger.

"Then let's pinky promise."

Seeing such a cute little toddler before him, Jiang Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, okay, okay, pinky promise!"

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

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

But time passed far too quickly.

Jiang Yan hadn't even had time to process it before five days vanished in the blink of an eye.

He had to leave.

Little Ganyu was still waiting for his news.

He himself also had to make a trip to see Alice.

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

So on the morning of this day, at the Mengdecheng Sect gate.

Everyone from the Knights stood at the gate, watching the Bai Fa youth standing there holding Klee.

"Alright, that's as far as you need to see me off."

Jiang Yan gently set Klee down, turned around with a smile, and said to the crowd behind him.

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

Eula's tone carried obvious reluctance.

Jiang Yan hadn't come for so many years, and this time he had stayed less than a few days before departing.

How could Eula possibly be happy?

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

Seeing Eula's somewhat resentful little expression, Jiang Yan also smiled and scratched his head.

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

Eula let out a proud little huff and turned her head away.

"Hehehe, alright, noted, noted, we'll save them all up together."

Jiang Yan looked at Eula with a beaming smile, then turned his gaze to Jean, Diluc, Kaeya, and the others, and said:

"Then, I entrust Klee to your care."

"If there are any problems, or if Klee causes any trouble, discipline her as needed."

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

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

Hearing Jean's promise, Jiang Yan nodded, then immediately squatted down and smoothed Xiao Klee's hair.
