Chapter 1351: I Only Want My Mommy
Old Man Gong was listening to these words from the stairs. He looked at Xiao Yingying, and the more he looked at her, the more he felt that Xiao Yingying was very much like Gong Yi. In the beginning, when Xiao Yingying was pulling on his trouser leg on the street, he had a warm feeling of throbbing, so this kind of feeling was blood thicker than water.
Old Man Gong really liked Xiao Yingying. Just an hour ago, he had lamented that it was hopeless for him to get a grandchild. He did not expect his Xiao Yingying to be already grown up.
Old Man Gong thought of Gong Yi’s last words. If Xiao Yingying knew that he had tried to break up her parents, would Xiao Yingying still like him as a grandfather?
Oh my G.o.d, Old Man Gong did not dare to think about it.
…
Soon, it was evening. The servants prepared a sumptuous dinner. Madam Gong went to carry Xiao Yingying. “Yingying, come. Let’s go eat dinner.”
Xiao Yingying stood by the door and looked outside. She shook her head and said, “Grandma, I don’t want to eat.”
“Yingying, why don’t you want to eat?”
At this moment, Gong Yi came down from upstairs. “Mom, Yingying.”
“Uncle.” Xiao Yingying quickly ran over. She blinked her big eyes and looked at Gong Yi pitifully. “Uncle, didn’t you say that my mommy would come soon? Why can’t I see mommy?”
Gong Yi squatted down. He felt that Xiao Yingying’s eyes were very similar to that of Bai Beibei. It made his heart ache.
“Yingying, Mommy will come tomorrow. How about you sleep with Uncle tonight?”
Xiao Yingying’s eyes were immediately filled with tears. She pursed her lips and was about to cry.
Gong Yi immediately panicked. “Yingying, what’s wrong?”
“Xiao Yingying, tell Grandma why are you crying?” Madam Gong was heartbroken. She quickly held Xiao Yingying in her arms and comforted her. “Good baby, Let’s not cry. You won’t be pretty if you cry.”
“Wah!” Xiao Yingying cried loudly. She rubbed her eyes with her little pink fists, and crystal-clear tears fell everywhere.
“Xiao Yingying, what’s wrong?” Old Man Gong heard the voice and rushed over. He went up and kicked Gong Yi. “Little brat, did you make Yingying Cry?”
Gong Yi “…”
Old Man Gong hugged Xiao Yingying in his arms and jumped and coaxed her. “Yingying, don’t cry. Grandpa’s heart aches when he sees you cry. Tell Grandma, did Uncle bully you?”
“Uncle… liar, I want Mommy, I want… Mommy!” Xiao Yingying cried out in a heart-wrenching manner.
Mommy…
The three people present froze when they heard this word. Old Man Gong laughed awkwardly and coaxed her gently, “Xiao Yingying, aren’t you having fun here? I’ve already asked someone to build a castle for Xiao Yingying. There’s a crown, a fluffy dress, and a magic wand there. From now on, Yingying will be our Gong family’s little princess.”
“I don’t want it. I don’t want anything. I only want Mommy… I’m Mommy’s… precious baby, I don’t want to be separated from Mommy… Mommy, Mommy…” Xiao Yingying had already lost her voice from crying.
Old Man Gong couldn’t do anything. He knew that Bai Beibei had raised Xiao Yingying well over the past three years. Xiao Yingying didn’t want anyone else but her.
Gong Yi was also fl.u.s.tered when he saw his daughter crying like this. To be honest, he was new to being a father. He had no experience at all.
Three years ago, his relations.h.i.+p with Bai Beibei had suffered a lot of resistance. At that time, he had wanted to have a child with her. However, before this thought had matured, Bai Beibei had left him.
He had never thought that he would have a three-year-old daughter. He still did not know how to be a father.
“Xiao Yingying, don’t cry. Uncle is calling Mommy right now and asking Mommy to come over to accompany you, okay?” Gong Yi took out his phone.
Xiao Yingying immediately stopped crying. Her eyes were red as she looked at Gong Yi. “Really?”
“Of course it’s true. Uncle is going to call mommy right now.”
..,,,,
Gong Yi dialled Bai Beibei’s number. The melodious ringtone only rang once, and the call was quickly picked up. Bai Beibei’s anxious voice rang out, “h.e.l.lo, Gong Yi. How is Yingying Now? Can you return Yingying to me? It’s dark now. If she can’t see me, she’ll be afraid.”
At this moment, Gong Yi was standing on the lawn outside the villa. He had one hand in his pocket and was kicking the stones around him. “Mm.” He snorted. “Yingying is crying.”
“What?” Bai Beibei sucked in a breath of cold air. Her heart ached so much that tears came out. She sobbed as she confessed to him, “Gong Yi, I beg you to let Yingying go. If anything happens, you can come to me. I know I’ve let you down. I’ve let you down. But Yingying is innocent…”
Gong Yi frowned. What did she mean? Did she think that he had kidnapped Yingying?
“Don’t cry,” he said in an unpleasant tone.
Bai Beibei didn’t dare to cry anymore.
Gong Yi felt even worse. Both mother and daughter liked to shed tears, and he couldn’t stop either of them. It was as if he had bullied them.
In fact, he didn’t even have enough time to dote on them.
“Where are you now?” He asked.
Bai Beibei didn’t say anything.
Gong Yi looked forward. He saw a delicate figure around the corner. It was familiar to him.
“Are you outside my house?”
Gong Yi saw the delicate figure turn around and leave.
He was so angry that his eyes were burning. “Bai Beibei, stop right there! If you dare to leave tonight, you will never see Yingying again!”
Bai Beibei stopped in her tracks.
At this moment, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching from afar. Gong Yi was behind her.
Bai Beibei turned around. Gong Yi was holding his phone and staring at her.
She did not have the courage to face the man’s gaze, so she lowered her head. The grief in her heart grew stronger and stronger. Her tears were like beads that had broken their string, “What are you trying to do? I’m not lying to you. Yingying is really not your daughter. I… I sold myself. Yingying is…that man. At that time, I didn’t know anything. I never thought… that I would get pregnant…”
“No matter who that man is, Yingying is my daughter. For her, I gave up everything. When I was 18 years old, I became a mom. I left you and went to… Singapore. I didn’t have a good life either. But no matter how hard and tiring it was when I saw Yingying growing up day by day, she would smile at me. She would kiss me and say that Mommy had worked hard. She never asked where her dad went. I sent her to preschool, and she told me that she was very happy every day… This child is very sensible. She…”
Gong Yi took two steps forward and gently pulled her into his arms.
He closed his eyes and kissed her hair. He wanted to use his body temperature and frantic heartbeat to comfort her, to comfort her all these years of suffering and pain.
Once again, he held her in such a warm embrace. Only then did Bai Beibei realize how much she missed and coveted his embrace. “Gong Yi, I’m really sorry…”
She didn’t let him down. It was all his fault.
Gong Yi let go of her and held her cold little hand.
“Where are you taking me?”
