torment that festered within him. To him, death was the only release.Yang Xiangming originally only wanted to pressure Qian Biao into continuing to serve the Yang family, but he never expected that Qi...Chapter 45

Yang Chen had just returned to the peak of Yunfeng when he received a call from Qin Xi.

Before he could even speak, a crisp and familiar voice rang out: "Daddy, I missed you!"

Hearing Xiaoxiao's voice, Yang Chen's lips curled up slightly. Every time he thought of his daughter, he felt like he was dreaming.

"Xiao Xiao, it's so late, why are you still awake" Yang Chen asked softly.

"Daddy, I think you can't sleep." Xiaoxiao's voice choked with tears.

Yang Chen felt a pang of heartache. It had indeed been several days since he last saw his daughter. It wasn't that he didn't want to see her, but his in-laws wouldn't let him. Recently, he had also happened to be dealing with some matters.

"Dad will come see you tomorrow, okay" Yang Chen remained silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

"No good!"

Xiao Xiao choked back tears and said, "I want to see my dad now."

"Smile, be good. Dad will pick you up for kindergarten tomorrow morning, okay" Hearing Smile's voice already with a crying tone, Yang Chen suddenly felt a little anxious.

"Daddy, tomorrow is the weekend, I don't have to go to school," Xiaoxiao said with a grievance.

At this moment, Qin Xi's voice suddenly rang out: "Yang Chen, wait a moment, we'll video chat on WeChat, then you can see me smiling."

Soon, Qin Xi sent a WeChat video.

Yang Chen just got the call and saw Xiao Xiao in a cartoon pajamas, snuggling up to Qin Xi.

"Dad!" Xiaoxiao shouted excitedly when she saw Yang Chen.

Hearing this familiar call from his blood, Yang Chen felt his heart melt. He quickly replied, "Xiaoxiao, good evening!"

"Daddy, will you come home tomorrow and live with me and Mommy" Xiaoxiao asked expectantly.

Yang Chen's heart was filled with bitterness. He, too, wished to live with XiaoXiao, but considering Zhou YuCui's hatred towards him, how could he possibly be allowed back

Seeing her father's silence, Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and suddenly said, "Daddy, are you afraid that I will take Mommy all to myself Don't worry, when you get home, on six days of the week, we will sleep together. The other day, Xiaoxiao will sleep alone, so you can sleep with Mommy."

Xiao Xiao's words left Yang Chen and Qin Xi both stunned.

After a while, Qin Xicai loudly questioned, "Xiao Xiao, who taught you these things"

Seeing her mother angry, Xiaoxiao's little mouth twitched, and she was about to cry from grievance.

Yang Chen hurriedly reminded, "Xiao Xi, don't scare the child."

Qin Xi only then realized her emotions were a bit too intense. She looked at XiaoXiao with a gentle face and said, "XiaoXiao, I'm sorry, Mom shouldn't have yelled at you just now. Mom apologizes to you, okay"

A smile replaced the grievance on her face, and she said with a hint of arrogance: "Since Mom apologized, XiaoXiao forgives Mom."

"Pfft!"

Seeing Xiaoxiao like this, Qin Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Yang Chen also had a look of wry amusement.

At this time, Xiaoxiao said again: "Xiao Hong's mom and dad are like that. They have one day every week where she sleeps by herself."

Yang Chen and Qin Xi only then understood that they had misunderstood Xiaoxiao's meaning just now.

"Daddy, look! This is a picture of our happy family that Xiaoxiao drew. This is Daddy, this is Mommy, and Xiaoxiao is in the middle." Even though she only saw Daddy on video, Xiaoxiao was so excited that she pulled out a watercolor painting, her little face beaming with excitement.

In the watercolor painting, a family of three is holding hands. Although the brushwork is quite naive, you can see that each person in the watercolor painting is smiling.

Looking at the painting, Yang Chen was filled with guilt. Qin Xi's eyes were also red.

Xiao Xiao didn't notice the sudden silence between the couple, and she was still very excitedly introducing her paintings.

"Daddy, will you tell Xiaoxiao a story" Xiaoxiao suddenly looked at Yang Chen expectantly.

Yang Chen smiled softly and nodded: "Once upon a time, there was a mountain, and inside the mountain, there was a temple, and in the temple, lived a monk..."

"Dad, I've heard this story from Mom so many times!" Xiaoxiao giggled.

Once upon a time, there was a forest, where lived a Snow White and seven dwarfs...don't worry about me, just leave quickly!"Being inherently kind, Xia He only felt regret at this moment. If Yang Chen was harmed because he offended the Zhuang family, she would regret it for the rest...
