Back For My Daughter

Meanwhile, as they walked to Old Mo's shop, Ye Qian continued to tell stories about the dragons.

The two little girls were fascinated to hear that their Papa had met not just a few dragons, but so much that their number far exceeded the number of fingers on their bodies.

After counting with all their fingers that the two little girls had, they just lost count and admitted defeat and continued to listen to their Papa as he told a few stories.

And in no time, Ye Qian and the two little girls stood in front of the door of a familiar shop.

__________

Meanwhile, within the shop.

A middle-aged man called out.

"Hey, how much for all this?"

The man asked as he stopped by the counter and asked for the bill for the things he had just bought.

But after waiting for more than a few seconds, seeing that the old man who stood by the counter was still staring at a photo on the desk with a dazed look in his eyes he asked in worry.

"Old man, are you fine?"

This middle-aged man was a regular customer and had known the shop owner for quite a long time, but today things were a bit different and not like always.

Usually, the shopkeeper would be in a very bright mood and was very talkative along with his customer which would make them feel very friendly.

But these two days, he seemed to have been lost in something and had a sad face as if he was missing something or someone who was closest to his heart.

"Huh?"

"What did you buy again?"

Old Mo asked in a daze, it was obvious from his eyes that he was extreme;y tired and had lost his mood which he would regularly have.

"Umm, just the usual, steak and ribs."

"Hmm, it's 60 Yuan."

"Old man, you look weak, why don't you take a break off."

Giving Old Mo the 60 yuan, the middle-aged man suggested.

"SIGH, if this was just a body issue, it would have, but I won't feel any better if I were to take rest, in fact, it would make me feel sadder."

Old Mo sighed and smiled wryly, he knew that the moment he got even a bit of free time, then a small figure would continuous appear in his mind, and distracting him by going to work was the only way to not feel any more sad.

'Maybe the little girl is completely engrossed by the love that the young man and his wife are giving her, but that's also good, at least she won't feel sad about not being able to meet her parents.'

As this thought appeared in his mind, Old Mo sighed again and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

He knew that he missed his daughter, but there was no way that he would be able to see her again, but he obviously couldn't let his granddaughter feel the same even when she had the chance to feel the parental love that she had been craving since the time she started to speak.

So this was the least he could do for the happiness of his granddaughter who was completely unaware of certain things and nor did he want to let her know of it.

Although he didn't know Ye Qian and Yuan Meng very well, he didn't know why, but he always felt that the young man was very reliable and he could see that he had accepted Xiao Ya as his own daughter.

And this was the same for his wife.

Even if he had not met them and nor had he even been in contact with them, Old Mo thought that these two were brought into his granddaughter's life with some wheel of fate.

And that was also why his little granddaughter, who would always not want to get close to unknown people was so close to the couple and thus he accepted to finally let his granddaughter have what she had been denied since her birth.

And that was the love of her parents.

"Old man, I think you are too stressed, it won't be good if you stay like this for too long."

The middle-aged man suggested seeing Old Mo like this.

In just a matter of a few seconds, he had seen many expressions on the old man's face.

The first was a gentle smile, then a melancholic expression and then a pained look.

He didn't know what kind of thoughts were going on in the old shopkeeper's mind, but looking at his face, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel down seeing this always cheerfully old man like this.

"SIGH."

Old Mo had just sighed while shaking his head when his gaze subconsciously turned to the door of the shop which was pushed open by a tiny hand.

Although the hand looked as if it was of a toddler, how could he not know who it was?

His face instantly turned bright and a beaming smile appeared on his face.

"Grandpa!"

The next moment a tiny figure appeared in front of his eyes almost making him tear up.

Usually, this little girl would be with him all day after he got to pick her up from her kindergarten till they went back home together after closing the shop.

But these few days, it was very boring for him to even spend an hour without feeling lovely because this little mouse who would always nudge him was not with him now.

Hearing the cheerful call once again with his ears, it was like a melody that would make his heart beat with joy.

"Ahh, you finally remembered this old man?"

But instead of going to them, Old Mo chuckled aloud.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ya's eyes were also moist as she saw her grandpa.

From the outside, they were able to see that her grandpa was not like how he always was and this made her feel bad.

Although she was just a little girl and had not seen the world, she was extremely familiar with the few people with whom she always stayed since she was a baby, it was like an unbreakable bond in between them.

This little girl had never seen her grandpa so sad while she was with him, but now he looked so weak.

Although she didn't know what it was, it made her feel sad in her heart.
