Chapter 948: It Was Daddy’s Hug
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Uncle Mo!”
It had never crossed Tao Yunyun’s mind that this matter would alarm Mo Qian. In a state of panic, she got up from the ground and hurriedly reached out to tidy up her disheveled hair and gown.
As she was halfway through the tidying, she thought of something again and suddenly stopped what she was doing.
Her aggrieved tears started to roll down uncontrollably.
“Uncle Mo, I have acted according to my father’s instructions and come here to attend the party. This is so I could broaden my horizons and help my father to better manage the collaborations with the Mo Corporation when I work in the company in the future. But, but…”
Tao Yunyun suddenly started to hum and haw halfway through her words.
As she stared at Yu Yuehan, who was standing right before her, she dared not mention the incident whereby Nian Xiaomu had hit her just now.
She was afraid that Yu Yuehan would charge up to her and break her neck.
At the thought of this, Tao Yunyun felt a chill behind the back of her neck.
“But what?” Mo Qian’s deep and distinctive voice had the power to intimidate everyone around him the moment he spoke up.
The room suddenly became very silent.
All of the guests present stopped their discussions and glanced over in his direction.
Immediately, the few of them became the center of attention.
Tao Yunyun was so nervous that she could not utter a single word and only cast her gaze in Nian Xiaomu and Zheng Yan’s direction.
Mo Qian had been in the business industry for decades; he was merely taking Tao Yunyun’s reaction with a pinch of salt as he had already roughly guessed what had happened.
He lifted his eyelids slowly and followed Tao Yunyun’s gaze.
Nian Xiaomu stood rooted to the ground.
She had not changed her posture since Mo Qian had appeared before her.
She continued to blankly stand in the same position.
Her animated eyes looked dazed as she stared at the person in front of her, dumbfounded…
And so, he is… Mo Qian?
The man did not see her and instead looked at Tao Yunyun first.
He inquired about Tao Yunyun’s situation.
Nian Xiaomu’s hands were draped at the side of her body and clenched into tight fists.
A projector seemed to have appeared in her mind.
New images sprung up incessantly…
The villa with ancient decor.
The huge living room.
Hundreds of boxes of all sizes piled up on the coffee table, and there were so many of them that she could not count them…
“This is the Rubik’s cube that Liuliu likes.”
“This is the puzzle that Liuliu likes.”
“This is also the dress that Liuliu likes.”
“As well as this pretty hair clip…”
“Our Liuliu has grown up and she is going to turn into a young lady. Do you like the presents that Daddy and Mummy have given you?” The gentle voice that sounded beside her ears belonged to the sweet-tempered woman who had been cooking in the kitchen.
The young girl who was known as Liuliu was standing before the coffee table.
Dressed in a pretty princess dress, she was carrying a box that she had picked up from the coffee table and she unwrapped her gift.
She was still tiny and the gift box was too tightly wrapped. Just as she was trying her utmost best to rip it apart, a pair of strong arms suddenly hoisted her up.
It was Daddy’s hug.
His hands were broad and it felt very warm.
As he took the box from her hands, he told her lovingly, “Daddy will help you to unwrap it.”
Then, the young girl sat obediently in his embrace and watched as he unwrapped the gift box bit by bit.
She was so happy that she rolled about in his embrace…
And called “Daddy” out repeatedly.
After the warm, broad hands had finished unwrapping the present, he pinched her tiny face happily.
Their clear and bright laughter rang throughout the entire villa.
The scene changed and changed to an amus.e.m.e.nt park.
The place was very crowded as it was a weekend.
As the car came to a stop outside the entrance to the amus.e.m.e.nt park, the woman grabbed onto the man’s arm and said worryingly, “There are too many people here, shall we take Liuliu to another place instead?”
