Back For My Daughter

On the floor above the old man's shop.

Xiao Ya was jumping on the bed with a beaming smile on her lips as she snuggled into Yuan Meng's embrace.

"Mom won't keep me away again right?"

The little girl asked with her baby voice as she held Yuan Meng's hand and asked in worry.

"No, I will never."

Though Yuan Meng said in an impulse she didn't consider seeing the bright smile on the little girl's lips.

"Thank you."

Saying that Xiao Ya went close to Yuan Meng and gave a peck on Yuan Meng's cheek.

After a moment, Xiao Ya turned her head and saw the uncle who promised her yesterday that he would come to take her to a party.

"Uncle, you made me wait for so long, I was so much bored."

With a light pout, Xiao Ya reached to Ye Qian while walking on the bed and placed her hand's on her waist like an old granny who was about to fight.

"Hehe, I am sorry, but Xiao Ya was so cute sleeping that I didn't have the mood to wake you up."

Ye Qian scratched the back of his head and smiled wryly.

"Ohh."

The little girl's brows raised high and her lips formed an O as she nodded.

"Now that you are awake, let's go."

Ye Qian continued as he stood up.

"Yes yes."

The little girl nodded in excitement as she was about to crawl down the bed but Yuan Meng stopped her.

"Wait."

"Huh?"

Ye Qian and Xiao Ya turned to her in confusion.

Seeing their faces which looked completely similar in expressions, Yuan Meng rolled her eyes and continued.

"Does Xiao Ya want to go out with this kind of messy hair?"

Yuan Meng pointed at the small mirror which was placed on the table and said to two.

"Huh."

The little girl looked at Ye Qian first and then at her reflection in the mirror.

As soon as she saw her reflection she turned to Yuan Meng quickly and shook her head vigorously.

In the morning when she had come to her Grandpa's shop her Grandmother had dressed her in a cute little frock with floral designs and also made her hair.

But after sleeping for about an hour and snuggling on the bed for a long time, the little girl's hair and turned into a mess and the light makeup was also worn down which one could see was pasted on the bedsheet and her small bed and some of it was even stuck to her teddy bear.

When the little girl looked at herself in the mirror she felt embarrassed for having such a face and that was not all she was even seen by the Uncle and her Mom now.

How could she not feel ashamed?

"Mom, why didn't you tell this to before?"

With her tiny hands covering her face Xiao Ya ran into Yuan Meng's embrace again and pouted lightly.

"What if uncle says that I am a bad girl?"

She again asked with a slight pout.

"Hehe, don't worry, Qian'er won't say that; you won't right?"

Yuan Meng giggled while being amused by her actions and couldn't control herself from laughing as she consoled the little girl in her embrace and then asked Ye Qian.

"No no, I won't!"

Trying to control hard as to not burst out laughing Ye Qian shook his head.

"Alright, it's already getting late, I heard from your Grandpa that you didn't do any homework?"

Yuan Meng caressed Xiao Ya's hair and asked with raised brows.

"I wanted to do it with Big Sister Qiqi and Jia."

"Okay, then shouldn't we rush now?"

Saying that Yuan Meng picked up a wet cloth that she had prepared before and started to wipe the little girl's face.

Meanwhile, Ye Qian continued to stare at how Yuan Meng redid Xiao Ya.

If it was not that he knew them, Ye Qian even thought that he would have thought that the two were mother and daughter.

The little girl didn't seem like she even doubted Yuan Meng as her mother.

But seeing this, Ye Qian's heart only felt heavy.

The little girl had completely lost touch with her mother and was even ready to accept another woman as her own mother.

This only worsened the thought of how much the little girl must have yearned for her mother when she stayed with her grandparents.

But Ye Qian had determined in his heart way before this that he would treat this girl with what she had always yearned.

It was just that; he was worried about Yuan Meng.

But seeing her today, Ye Qian only felt more proud and his love for Yuan Meng only increased.

In this era, Yuan Meng was willing to accept someone as her child even without another thought.

That was after knowing that she was even fine with Little Jia calling Ye Qian as her father.

But what he didn't know was, after living all her life without a mother since she was the same age that of Little Qiqi, Yuan Meng had always yearned for a mother's love.

Even though she had someone she called a father, he was still the same as not being one.

And that was also why Yuan Meng had to make herself look tough in front of other's and show them that she didn't need anything or anyone.

And after hearing Ye Qian's words of Xiao Ya not having her parents, Yuan Meng remembered a scene where she was sitting in a corner of a room while calling for her mother whom she had lost and the father she had.

But all she got was a dark corner which held her and she continued to cry there for a long time until she fell asleep.

That scene caused Yuan Meng to shiver in fright as she remembered what had happened back then.

Remembering that even though she had her father, he never loved her and nor did he even ask her, Yuan Meng felt that this little girl was the same as her.
