Chapter 379: The Crowd Panics 4
The two quickly leaped off the carriage the moment it arrived at the entrance of Chunjiang Restaurant. The guard pulled the carriage aside to park it.
Xiao Wuji took out a badge and stealthily followed Mo Yang into the restaurant. Chunjiang Restaurant was a mess. Many of its guests were looking out of the windows and it seemed like no one was focused on eating.
Gu Cheng was forced to become Gu Shanshan’s steed. He let the plump little girl mount his back and cling onto his neck so she could look further into the crowd. Xiao Wuji walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and Gu Cheng almost sprained his neck as he whipped his head around to look at him. After that, he put Gu Shanshan down and let her handle herself.
Gu Cheng looked at the two of them. “Why are the two of you here?”
Mo Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, “I received the news from you as soon as I got out of the hot spring. How could I not have rushed here?”
Gu Cheng looked at him in surprise. “Don’t you need to rest?”
“Nope.”
As soon as Mo Yang finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of a lady out of the corner of his eye. The lady was cradling a child in her arms. The child was cute and adorable, with fair skin and a clever look. Mo Yang suddenly squinted his eyes. “This child…”
Erniu, who was laying in Qi Qingyao’s arms, unexpectedly met Mo Yang’s gaze. She stared at his face.
The adult and child stared at one another for quite some time.
Then, Erniu murmured in a child-like voice, “Daddy?”
“Uh.”
Mo Yang felt like he was being nearly choked to death by his own saliva.
Qi Qingyao heard Erniu and turned her head to look over. Erniu was pointing at Mo Yang’s face and saying excitedly, “Mommy, look, it’s Daddy!!”
Qi Qingyao was embarrassed for a second, but she got up and laughed. “The child doesn’t know anything. Please don’t take her words too seriously.”
Erniu thought to herself as she pouted her lips, ‘I know things! He looks a lot like my Daddy!”
Mo Yang asked with a smile, “Can I hold her?”
“Sure.” Qi Qingyao was actually a little tired after carrying her four-year-old daughter around for so long, so she was relieved to pass her daughter to Mo Yang.
Mo Yang had never held a child before, let alone a young girl. The four-year-old girl was already quite big, the top of her head already reaching his thigh. Mo Yang brought the little child over and sat down, then picked her up and let her sit on his lap.
Erniu had never had a father in her life before, so she felt an inexplicably strong affection toward this man who looked so much like her mother. Once she was sat on his lap, she could not help but stretch out her tiny hands and touch Mo Yang’s face. She pinched his ears and muttered, “Daddy…”
Mo Yang pinched the little girl’s cheek, not sure how to react. “Although that title makes me very happy when I hear it, I have to tell you that I may not be your Daddy.”
“But…” Erniu thought to herself doubtfully, ‘If you’re not my Dad, then how do you look so much like my Mom?’
Mo Yang looked at Erniu suspiciously and asked, “Why do you look so much like me?”
“I don’t know.” Erniu pouted her lips and stared at him with her wide, bright eyes, which looked like a pair of small pink buns. “Daddy, are you sure you’re not my Daddy?”
Mo Yang nodded firmly. “I don’t think so.”
Erniu hesitated for a while before asking shrewdly, her big pair of eyes rapidly blinking away. “Then, would you like to be my Daddy?”
Mo Yang was bewildered by the child’s blunt words. He was silent for a while before he quietly turned his head to glance at the little lady looking out the window. He asked, “How old is your Mommy?”
Erniu smiled so widely her eyes narrowed into thin, curved lines. “She should be twenty years old!”
“I’m seventeen. She’s twenty.” ‘A wife three years older than her husband gurantees a richer life. This is a worthwhile deal!’ Mo Yang thought as he stroked his chin with his pale fingers.
