Chapter 91: Zaituan Sees Daddy!

~8 min read 1,495 words

"Could it be that he hasn't been teleported over yet?"

An Luo hurriedly checked her phone, but the Live Stream Room showed:

The streamer you follow has ended the stream.

Where on earth did that dog system send Zaituan?

"Could it be that I moved, causing the location to be inaccurate?"

"If I'd known this would happen, I would have gone back to the old house earlier!"

An Luo was frantic with worry.

She didn't dare delay any longer, and hurriedly picked up her phone to find someone's number.

"Officer Lu…"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, beneath a high-rise building, at 8:50 in the morning, a group of office workers rushing to clock in at the company didn't notice a Small Dumpling suddenly swept into the crowd.

And Xiao Yu'an, in a black-and-white fuzzy coat, was thus carried along by the knees of a bunch of brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunties, stumbling forward.

Fortunately, after only a few steps, a young lady noticed.

"Everyone stop crowding, there's a little child here, don't hurt the child!"

The crowd quickly gave way a little.

Away from the crowd, Yu'an finally saw her surroundings clearly, her face blank with confusion, her little head full of big question marks.

"Where is this?"

This isn't Fairy Sister's home.

And the building in front of her was so tall. The little one opened her small mouth, looked up, and sighed in wonder.

"Wow, it's really tall!"

Her little head tilted further and further back, her small body suddenly lost its balance, jerked backward, and she plopped right down on her bottom.

"Oof!"

Yu'an let out a startled cry.

"Pfft!"

A soft laugh suddenly came from beside her.

Yu'an hurriedly scrambled up, reaching out to cover her little cheeks, which had turned rosy with shyness.

Cheng Ruonan walked over and bent down to look at the little one.

"Little friend, whose child are you? Why are you here all alone?"

Seriously, she had spotted this little dumpling in a black-and-white bear coat from far away. From a distance, she looked just like an overstuffed big tangyuan with the filling leaking out.

Black sesame filling, at that.

Walking closer, she happened to see the little one tilt her head back too far and plop down on her bottom.

Who would have thought this little doll wouldn't cry, but would actually shyly cover her face.

That little look was simply adorable enough to kill!

Yu'an took her little hands away, revealing big, dark, glistening, grape-like eyes.

Tilting her head slightly, she curiously looked at the Eldest Sister in red clothes in front of her.

"Hello, Pretty Big Sister. Yu'an is a child of the Cheng Family. Yu'an doesn't know why I'm here either."

Cheng family?

Cheng Ruonan carefully sized up the little one.

Honestly, this little dumpling looked really quite familiar.

Could she really be one of their old Cheng family's?

Just then, a car stopped at the building entrance downstairs, and a man in a sharp suit stepped out.

Yu'an caught a glimpse of that person's profile, and immediately widened her big eyes.

"Daddy, it's Daddy!"

Calling out as she went, the little one ran her little legs, rushing headlong toward him.

But she was too hasty, tripped over something, and pitched forward, falling down.

"Is the little one okay?"

Cheng Ruonan hurried over and helped the little one up.

"How is it? Did you bump anything?"

Two grazes welling with blood on her tender palms, and those big eyes now glistening with tears—Cheng Ruonan was instantly heartbroken.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Cheng Sitao faintly heard a familiar little baby voice. He glanced over, and happened to see Cheng Ruonan crouching on the ground.

As for Yu'an, she was just then blocked by that red trench coat of hers.

Assistant Chen, standing nearby, also took a look.

"Boss, it looks like the eldest young lady. Would you like to wait and go up with her?"

Cheng Sitao frowned and turned his head back.

Could it be that he was hearing things?

He had actually heard Yu'an's voice.

"No need."

Saying so, he strode inside.

Meanwhile, Yu'an endured the stinging pain in her palms, stood up, and kept looking over there.

Daddy was gone!

The little one's lips trembled, her eyes could no longer hold back the tears, and big drops fell one after another—plop, plop, plop.

"Wuu wuu wuu..."

"Daddy!"

Cheng Ruonan held tissues in one hand, wiping his tears as she softly comforted him.

"Don't cry, don't cry. How about this—tell Elder Sister, what's your daddy and mommy's phone number? Elder Sister will call them and have them come pick you up, okay?"

Yu'an had read the story of Xiao Nezha and knew that daddy and mommy meant Daddy and Mother, but...

"Phone... number?"

What was that?

The little fellow blinked his big, wet eyes, teardrops still clinging to his lashes, sniffling.

"That's right, cell phone number, to make a call."

As she spoke, Cheng Ruonan shook her phone.

He knew about this—Fairy Sister had seen him through the phone!

Right, he had to hurry and find Fairy Sister, and tell Great-Grandmother that he'd found Daddy!

"Yu'an wants to find Elder Sister."

"Fine, then what's your Elder Sister's phone number?"

Hearing this, the little fellow drooped his small head in disappointment.

"Yu'an doesn't know."

He didn't remember where Fairy Sister's home was, nor Fairy Sister's phone number.

Cheng Ruonan sighed helplessly.

"Then how about this—I'll treat your wounds first, then take you to find Police Uncle, and have them send you home."

Bringing the little fellow all the way to her office, Cheng Ruonan was looking for the first-aid kit.

Yu'an sat on the chair and suddenly saw the family portrait on the desk.

"Daddy, it's Daddy!"

The little fellow climbed down from the chair, scrambled onto the desk, and picked up the photo frame.

Cheng Ruonan came over carrying the first-aid kit.

"Does Yu'an miss Daddy? You'll be home very soon."

"No, this one!"

Yu'an picked up the frame, nuzzled the person in it with his little cheek, and pointed at someone in the photo.

"This is Yu'an's Daddy."

Seeing who the little finger was pointing at, the first-aid kit in Cheng Ruonan's hands crashed heavily onto the floor.

She shouted in disbelief.

"You're saying he's your dad?!"

Yu'an's small hands clutched the frame tightly in anxiety, looking at her with a nervous face, and nodded.

"Yes, that's right."

"Elder Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Why did she suddenly become so strange?

Cheng Ruonan cupped the little fellow's face and studied him carefully for a long while.

Looking at him like this, he really did resemble Big Brother a lot.

"Yu'an, then where's your mommy?"

The little fellow was still cherishing the photo of his own Daddy as if it were a treasure, holding it carefully.

"Mother didn't come, Mother is still at the foot of the Mountain outside Beihuang City."

Beihuang City?

Never heard of it, but living in the mountains?

Cheng Ruonan automatically pictured some treasure from a mountain hollow, digging wild vegetables across an entire mountainside, and in her mind conjured up countless images of tiny children shouldering the burden of supporting a family, carrying bamboo baskets on their backs, working hard to gather firewood.

The affection in her eyes as she looked at the little fellow grew even stronger.

Her little niece must have suffered a lot.

Who would have thought that her so-handsome-and-proper, impeccably dressed Big Brother, who on the surface looked like strangers should keep their distance and kept himself pure and aloof in his cold, lofty manner—

Was actually a scumbag who had abandoned his wife and daughter!

"Yu'an, you wait here, Aunt is going to go stand up for you right now!"

With that, Cheng Ruonan charged toward the CEO's office, full of fighting spirit.

Yu'an sat on the desk and scratched his little head.

"Aunt? Aunt didn't come either?"

But the little fellow soon stopped worrying about it and happily continued hugging the frame, looking at Daddy.

His little short legs swung back and forth.

He delightedly traced the Daddy in the photo with his finger.

Daddy with short hair is also very handsome.

"Miss, Miss, the CEO is still busy."

Assistant Chen, a grown man well over six feet tall, somehow failed to hold back the petite Cheng Ruonan.

"Cheng Sitao, you scumbag!"

Seeing her fuming like this, Cheng Sitao frowned and put down the photo in his hand.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Cheng Ruonan spotted at a glance the photo by his hand — the little child in it was none other than Yu'an from her office.

She jabbed at the photo and loudly denounced him.

"How dare you! You clearly know you have a daughter, yet you won't bring her home, letting my little niece suffer out there!"

Cheng Sitao shot to his feet, the furrow between his brows tightening further.

"You've met him?!"
