Ye Qian stood at the entrance of the Old Mo's meat shop while holding Xiao Ya in his left arm while Little Qiqi in his right.
Meanwhile, in front of them, right at the counter.
Old Mo stared at Xiao Ya who was staring at him with a sweet smile on her face.
For a moment, Old Mo's heart couldn't help but feel pain.
And it was because the face looked very similar to that of his daughter whom he had lost and would never be able to see again.
This thought made his heart feel the pain that he had been hiding in his heart for a long time and he couldn't help but feel at loss.
Meanwhile, Ye Qian got close to the counter and lightly helped Xiao Ya to sit at the table.
"Thank you, Dad."
Xiao Ya smiled and then turned to her grandpa.
But just when she was about to turn to him, she saw that there was something on the desk and her interest peaked.
She extended her hand at the photo frame that was in front of her grandpa wanting to pick it up and see what was in that photo.
"NO"
But much to Ye Qian's disbelief, Old Mo who would always want to fulfil every wish of his granddaughter quickly snatched the frame off her hand and kept it sideways.
"Grandpa, Xiao Ya wants to see what it is, please."
Although the little girl didn't understand why her grandpa snatched the photo from her, she thought that he was just playing with her.
But when she saw his face, she knew that he was not.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnd that was because his face had something that she had never seen all this time she was with her Grandpa.
And that was anger.
Yes, her Grandpa, who would always be full of smiles had an angry look on his face as he snatched the photo frame from her hand and placed it somewhere in the locker.
"SNIFF SNIFF"
She was still a little girl after all, and seeing such an angry look, would obviously make her cry.
She started sobbing and immediately hugged Ye Qian who was right behind her.
Meanwhile, Old Mo, who had just placed the photo frame sideways saw the scene and sighed while shaking his head.
He now understood what he had done just now, he shouldn't have.
But there was no other choice for him.
If the little girl were to see the photo, then there were some questions that he would not be able to answer and he just wanted her to never know of these things.
Meanwhile, Ye Qian sighed and glanced at Old Mo who had clenched his fist with anger.
Although he didn't know what was in the photo, Ye Qian was sure that it had something to do with Xiao Ya's parents.
Till now, Xiao Ya had started to believe that he and Yuan Meng were her real parents and had just kept her with her grandparents due to some difficulties.
Ye Qian sighed and shook his head.
He knew that if there was not something grave, then Old Mo would have never acted like this.
"Xiao Ya, don't cry, maybe Grandpa didn't want you to get hurt since the glass would have been broken."
Ye Qian nodded at Old Mo and said a simple excuse.
"Really?"
The little girl who was sobbing while clinging onto Ye Qian's chest looked with her teary eyes and asked.
"Yes, how bad will he or I would feel if our Xiao Ya were to get hurt right, so he got a bit angry, but it was for your good, so say sorry to your Grandpa."
Ye Qian nodded and then patted her head while rubbing her tears carefully.
"Yes, Xiao Ya, Grandma also got angry at Qiqi like this when Qiqi would want to help grandma while cutting carrots."
Like an elder sister wanting to make Xiao Ya understand, Little Qiqi rubbed her back and nodded.
"Ohh, then I am really sorry."
Xiao Ya looked into Ye Qian's eyes and apologized.
She had now understood that no matter what, her grandpa would never scold her much less get angry at her for doing anything.
She was like the apple of his eyes, how would he even think of doing it.
"Is it really me whom you should say sorry?"
Ye Qian smiled and stroked her hair.
"Hmm."
The little girl nodded her head and turned around at her grandpa who had held his head low.
But it was obvious that he was very angry at himself for what he had done.
Since Xiao Ya was born, it would not be wrong to say that she had been staying with them.
And it was because her parents were also staying with Old Mo and their family.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd that was also why whenever the little girl's parents went to work, she would always be with her grandparents.
But today, he had to scold his granddaughter so that it might not make things difficult for her and break her tiny heart.
How could he say to this little child that the parents whom she thought were her's were not real, and as for her real parents, they had already left the world for the good.
Thinking of this, Old Mo's body trembled as he clutched his fist tightly.
"Grandpa, I am very very sorry."
"I know you won't get angry at me, I am so sorry."
The little girl crawled to the other side of the table using her knees and tried to look at her grandpa who didn't look at her.
"SIGH"
Old Mo sighed and shook his head.
A smile appeared on his wrinkled face and he wiped his tears off.
"No, it's me who should be sorry, I got angry at my little child."
His lips were trembling as he said and held the little girl in his arms.
"No grandpa, you are right, if I was to get hurt, then you would have been very sad, so you don't have to say sorry to me."
The little girl shook her head with a stern look.
"Haha, alright, what you say is right."
Seeing her about to pout, Old Mo burst into laughter after a few days.
