“Why are you here, sis?” An An was currently enjoying eating his third piece of strawberry-jam sandwich which was made by his grandmother.
“What’s wrong? Can’t I find you guys?” Ran Ran pouted and feigned unhappiness upon hearing his question. “The house over there is so big, yet you don’t go visit it, so I can only come here myself.”
“Then, are you going back tonight? Why don’t you stay here with us? Grandma’s place is super comfortable and there’re lots of fun things to do.”
She hesitated when faced with her brother’s invitation, and this was captured by her mother. After a long while, the girl nodded as she ran to Madam Ji’s side and said sweetly, “Grandma, can I stay here tonight? I want to stay with my brothers.”
“Don’t you wanna live in the big house with grandma? Didn’t you say that my house is much bigger than this house here? I can even get everything you want with a call.”
Nobody from this family of five wanted to stay by her side; even this cheeky little lass, who had a slight tiff with her parents, wanted to stay in Zhang Manhua’s house and was unwilling to follow her back to the big mansion.
“The house is indeed big, but there’s no one there to play with me. I just wanna stay and play with my siblings.”
The girl swung her grandmother’s hand as she acted cute. Her eyes were teeming with cheekiness. The latter could only agree. “Sure, sure, sure. My precious granddaughter, I only have you. Who are you? Of course, I’ll listen to your request!”
Madam Ji smiled dotingly at her granddaughter while swinging the latter’s arms. “Still, you must promise me that you won’t create trouble for your grandma here. You should listen to your parents and call me every day, too. If not, I’ll miss you.”
“You have so many conditions, but it doesn’t matter; I’ll agree to them all. I promise not to create trouble for everyone here; I’ll also call you every night to say goodnight. Is that alright?”
Ran Ran rubbed her face against the older woman’s hand as she spoke sweetly. “Alright, grandma; I’ll listen to everything you say.”
“If you truly listen to me, why choose to stay here and make me go back to the big house alone? Nobody will accompany me there anymore.”
Madam Ji acted aggrieved, and it made the girl’s heart ache. “How about grandma stays here, too? I can sleep with mommy, while brothers can sleep with you. If there’s not enough space, you can sleep with granny.”
The older woman smiled, her eyebrows curving. “My good granddaughter, I won’t sleep here with you tonight. Have you forgotten that the big house has your grandpa, too? He wants me to be home.”
“Oh, right; then, you should get going, grandma. You have me to listen to you.”
Pei Ge listened to the two negotiate. Although her daughter got her grandmother’s permission to stay here, the misunderstanding between her and her father had not been resolved yet.
“Little girl, if you want to stay here, you must get the others’ agreement, too.”
The woman’s beautiful eyes fluttered, and Ji Ziming smiled at her.
“Then, won’t I be allowed to stay here by granny?”
Their daughter suddenly thought of Zhang Manhua. Her grandmother was currently in the kitchen, making her favorite tea-flavored eggs, which was right next to them, but because of the excellent soundproofing here, her grandmother failed to hear what was going on in the dining area.
“Your granny won’t disagree, but shouldn’t you also ask your daddy if he will let you stay here?”
The eyes of the man, whose back was facing his daughter, darkened as he looked at the woman.
He then turned to look at his daughter. “Right. I haven’t agreed with letting you stay here.”
“Daddy, why won’t you agree? Don’t you want me anymore?”
To earn her stay, the girl acted cute to her father as much as she could.
“Why should I? Weren’t you the one who wanted to stay away from us?”
He pretended to be angry, making his facial features appear more impassive, but his daughter was not cowed. Knowing her father’s weakness, she reached out and touched his chin. She then spoke sweetly. “Good daddy, can you stop being mad at me? I know that I was in the wrong and shouldn’t have misunderstood you. I’m really sorry. Good daddy, great daddy, just let me stay here as even if you don’t, I won’t leave!”
Ran Ran rubbed her father’s chin. This was the best way she knew to apologize to him. Seeing his expressionless face, her confidence lessened and she could only snort as she stood in front of him with moist eyes.
Looking at his cute daughter’s apologetic face, the man could no longer feign anger. He had known long ago that this girl had the same personality as her mother. In fact, the two always used this method on him.
“Alright, I agree with you staying here, but you let me tell you that I will marry your mother and not you in the future.”
Ji Ziming’s lips curled as he looked at his daughter gently, his face becoming less reserved.
“Really? What about me?”
She had finally reconciled with her father, yet he now wanted to marry her mother, instead. Ran Ran truly felt indignant and disappointed.
“Yes, because the person I love the most is your mommy.”
Upon saying that, he pulled Pei Ge’s hand and kissed it.
“I need to protect your mommy, while your big brothers protect you. If one day you find someone who truly loves you, your mommy and I will give our blessings.”
After he said that, the girl’s beautiful eyes rolled. She merely had a small tiff with her father, yet he was quick to tell her that he would not marry her anymore.
