Qian Qian cried sorrowfully, "Mom, I want Dad. I don't want Stepfather, and I don't want Uncle Wang to be my Stepfather."
Seeing her daughter so upset, Su Mingxian hurriedly comforted her, "Qian Qian, sweetie, who said Uncle Wang would be your Stepfather? That's not true."
Tears streamed down Qian Qian's face as she sobbed, "But everyone is saying it. They even called me a wild child without a father. But I do have a dad! Mom, where is he? Why doesn't he want us anymore? Is it because Qian Qian is not good? I promise I'll be good from now on. Can you bring Dad back, please? Mom, woo..."
The little girl cried so hard she could barely catch her breath. Su Mingxian's eyes turned red as she softly repeated her reassurance, "Qian Qian, don't cry. Daddy hasn't abandoned you; really... And he will be back soon. How about this: tomorrow, Mommy will take you shopping for new clothes? That way, when Daddy comes back, he will see our Qian Qian right away. What do you think?"
Upon hearing about the new clothes, the little girl paused her sobbing and sniffled, "Really? Then, Mom, I also want a red hair ribbon. The one Dad bought for me is lost. I'm afraid Dad won't recognize me when he comes back."
As soon as those words left her lips, Su Mingxian could no longer hold back her tears. She broke down completely, feeling as if a dam had burst.
She felt resentment towards Shen Chi; it was one thing not to love her, but Qian Qian was his own daughter. How could he have been so indifferent all these years? Listening to her daughter's words now made her wish she could drag Shen Chi out and exact her revenge.
...
At that moment, Shen Chi stood dazed at the Liangpi stall.
He didn't know why, but ever since he had that special Liangpi yesterday, all he could think about was that busy figure.
After searching in vain once more, he found himself here without realizing it.
However, the beautiful woman was long gone. Just as he turned to leave, Hou Tian spotted him and exclaimed, "Brother Chi Zi? Are you craving Liangpi again? Hey, just tell me! I'll help you buy some. But today Sister Xiao Xian had a good business day and closed up early. Tomorrow, I'll make sure she saves some for you."
Shen Chi cast a cool glance at him, took out a cigarette and placed it between his lips, then turned and walked away.
Hou Tian felt as if he had just walked through an ice cave; the chill was overwhelming. He stood there in a daze for a moment before chasing after him. "Brother Chi Zi, what's wrong? Don't be upset. Don't worry, I’ll make sure Sister Xiao Xian saves you some for tomorrow."
Shen Chi remained silent.
Little did he know that someone was unknowingly testing the waters at the edge of life and death.
Sure enough, the next day he was sent to the front lines to supervise. Just when he was about to grab a serving of Liangpi to cool off from the scorching sun, he realized that the person he wanted to see hadn’t come.
"Where's Sister Xiao Xian? Where did she go?"
Wang Daguo looked at Hou Tian, who was dressed like a refugee, and couldn't help but twitch his lips. "Sister Xian has something to do today; she won't be coming."
The straightforward response left Hou Tian feeling utterly defeated.
No way! He was counting on Su Mingxian’s Liangpi to keep him going.
If Brother Chi Zi couldn’t get his Liangpi, how long would he have to stay on the construction site?
Unbeknownst to him, it was precisely because Su Mingxian wasn’t around that he was spared.
Money is something that can never be earned enough, and matters concerning her daughter are even more urgent.
Since she had promised her daughter, she could not go back on her word. Earning money is meant for spending, after all. She did not want to suffer like she did in her past life with her two children.
Therefore, today's goal was singular: to indulge in shopping.
