Chapter 272: Looking for Daddy

“Nuonuo, do you want to live with Daddy?”

Ling Nuonuo nodded, looking at Song Qingtian cautiously: “But Nuonuo doesn’t want to be separated from Mommy either. The kids say that if Daddy and Mommy live apart, it’s like a divorce—Nuonuo can only stay with one of them. Nuonuo doesn’t want to be apart from Daddy, and she doesn’t want to be apart from Mommy either. Nuonuo wants Mommy and Daddy to have a little brother together…”

After saying this, Ling Nuonuo burst into tears.

Song Qingtian quickly hugged her tightly, walking back and forth in the Bedroom while holding Ling Nuonuo.

Ling Nuonuo cried, “Mommy, Nuonuo misses Daddy—she wants Daddy to hold her…”

Aunt Chen was startled; why on earth had she started crying like this?

Song Qingtian understood what her daughter was thinking.

“Nuonuo, did you just have a dream?”

Ling Nuonuo cried so hard she could barely catch her breath; no matter what Song Qingtian said, she just kept on crying.

Children don’t understand anything—they just want whatever their hearts desire.

Aunt Chen was getting worried: “Young Madam…”

“It’s okay, let’s head back first.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Aunt Chen hurriedly packed up their things, grabbing only a few essentials.

Uncle Lin came out to see them off.

Song Qingtian glanced at Uncle Lin: “Uncle Lin, you go ahead and take us back. Chen嫂 and I probably won’t be back right away, so you stay here and watch the house.”

“Got it.”

Uncle Lin was a sensible man; he saw Song Qingtian and the others off.

As Song Qingtian and Chen嫂 stepped out of the car, Uncle Lin took his leave.

Song Qingtian looked down at her daughter, who was still sobbing in her arms, and patted her gently.

Ling Nuonuo quickly turned to look inside the villa.

Chen嫂 went to open the door, and the three of them entered the villa together.

By this time, Ling Hanyu had already gotten up.

Although he hadn’t received any notice, the security system at his villa was extremely sophisticated.

Coming down from upstairs, Ling Hanyu was taken aback to see Song Qingtian returning with her daughter.

He immediately walked over to them.

It was six o’clock in the afternoon, and Ling Hanyu hadn’t gone to the Company today.

For the past couple of days, he’d been working nonstop to sort out the issue with those photos of Song Qingtian, hardly getting any rest.

Even though the problem was finally resolved, he still worried something might go wrong.

“What happened?”

Ling Hanyu had only just managed to get a brief rest when he saw his daughter crying uncontrollably, which really scared him.

He walked over to Song Qingtian and picked up his daughter.

Ling Nuonuo clung to Ling Hanyu and cried, making him furious. He glared coldly at Song Qingtian.

Song Qingtian turned to Chen嫂: “Chen嫂, you go inside first.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Chen嫂 gave Ling Hanyu a hesitant glance, then turned and headed back into the villa.

Song Qingtian stood to the side, watching her daughter cling tightly to Ling Hanyu, crying bitterly.

Yet just moments ago, when she first saw Ling Hanyu, Ling Nuonuo had been wailing loudly; now, however, she seemed much calmer.

Ling Hanyu’s anger gradually gave way to concern, and he slowly regained his composure.

“What’s going on?”

Once Ling Nuonuo had stopped crying, Ling Hanyu turned to ask Song Qingtian.

Song Qingtian looked at him calmly: “Nuonuo wanted to come home—she missed you.”

Ling Hanyu’s heart ached, and his expression grew somber.

“Don’t worry, Nuonuo—Daddy’s here.”

Ling Hanyu quickly looked at his daughter and carefully held her close in his arms.

Song Qingtian stepped around them and headed back into the villa.

Ling Hanyu watched Song Qingtian walk away, coaxing his daughter to follow.

As they entered the house, Ling Hanyu searched the living room, but he didn’t see Song Qingtian—only Chen嫂.

Chen嫂 was quick and efficient, and there wasn’t much luggage to begin with.

She finished packing and left right away.

“Mister.”

Seeing Ling Hanyu, Chen嫂 hurried over to greet him.

Ling Hanyu acknowledged her with a nod and looked upstairs.

At this point, Ling Nuonuo had stopped crying, but she was covered in sweat.

“Nuonuo, would you like a bath?”

“Mm!”

Ling Nuonuo puckered her lips and nodded, her little hands clinging tightly to Ling Hanyu—she was afraid of being separated from Daddy.

“Daddy will take you to take a bath.”

Ling Hanyu picked up his daughter, ready to head to the bathroom.

Chen嫂 couldn’t help but call out: “Mister!”

Ling Hanyu turned to look at Chen嫂, who then explained: “Everything had been fine all along—until this afternoon, when Nuonuo took a nap. When she woke up, she seemed fine, but then the Young Madam picked her up and they were enjoying the view, and Nuonuo suddenly said she missed Mister—and started crying. She even said she didn’t like some uncle, didn’t want the Young Madam to be with that person, and insisted on finding Mister.”

Chen嫂 felt she shouldn’t have said all this, for fear of damaging the relationship between the couple.

In her view, the two had only just begun to get along a little better—it would be a shame if she ruined that.

But Nuonuo was also very important; after all, children are easily frightened, and she didn’t want Nuonuo to be scared.

They needed to figure out the exact reason why this had happened. That would be the best approach.
