  How quickly did the kid change her mind? She was just asking to see the tigers, but she was now asking to see the pandas.

  Su Ye never understood why kids were so passionate about pandas.

  Weren’t they just bears with dark circles around their eyes?

  Su Ye, who had no compassion, thought.

  Was there even anything cute about a panda?

  Su Ye slowly followed as Ye Sang hopped and dragged him toward the pandas’ zone. Even he did not notice his lips curling upward as he observed the little girl in front of him.

  Many people were surrounding the area while taking pictures. Ye Sang could not see a thing even when she tried to stand on her toes. She was so agitated that she had puffed her cheeks like a blowfish.

  She angrily spun in circles like she was chasing her own tail.

  Su Ye chuckled after seeing her reaction.

  “Mister.” The little girl was unable to figure out a plan with her intelligence of a five-year-old. She had no choice but to hug Su Ye’s leg and plead.

  “Mister,” the little girl stood on her toes. She was struggling to express herself when she was nervous, “The……the pandas……”

  It was like she had bitten her tongue. Her reaction was so adorable.

  Su Ye withdrew the smile in his eyes. He did not overdo it. He leaned forward and picked the girl up so Ye Sang would have a better view.

  “Meow!” The little girl’s beautiful eyes widened slightly. She subconsciously mimicked the cry of a cat.

  The man looked down speechlessly, “Tsk……”

  “That’s a panda.”

  Not a cat.

  Ye Sang ignored him. She stubbornly mimicked the cry of a cat.

  Su Ye did not bother to correct her again.

  The little girl looked at the panda curiously. She turned around and saw Su Ye sulking a little. She puffed her cheeks and gathered her courage.

  “Mister……” Ye Sang called.

  She pointed at the panda. It was difficult to tell where the little girl had gotten her courage from as she looked into Su Ye’s calm eyes.

  She said despite the risk of being beaten to death by her own father, “You look just like the panda……”

  Su Ye: “.……”

  He lowered his head expressionlessly and looked at the squishy little kid.

  He suddenly realized something……

  The little girl was no longer considerate.

  She had learned to stab him in the heart.

  Su Ye’s pair of beautiful eyes squinted. He reached out his cold finger and pinched the girl’s face. He said word by word, “I will forgive your impoliteness for now.”

  “Say that again?” He grinned as he stared at the little girl while grinding his teeth, “What do I look the same as? Huh?”

  No matter what angle or from a human’s view on evolution, he should not resemble the panda by the slightest, right?

  Where did the kid see the resemblance from?

  Su Ye was actually curious.

  The kid was scared by his reaction. Her soft face twisted. She knew Su Ye was about to rage.

  Ye Sang pointed at the dark circles around the panda’s eyes. She fearlessly said, “But the two of you are really alike……”

  Su Ye: “.……”

  He expressionlessly pinched the girl’s chubby cheeks, “That’s enough.”

  “You can shut your mouth now.”

  He swore he would buy a lot of masks from the Internet tomorrow.

  Ye Sang stretched her cheeks while they were being pinched. She murmured, “Let……let go of my face, daddy.”

  Su Ye did not let go.

  He enjoyed teasing the little girl.

  Ye Sang rubbed her soft face and said unhappily, “You adults shouldn’t bully a kid like me……”

  She was struggling to say the words clearly.

  Su Ye took a sip from the bottle of water and chuckled, “No……”

  “We adults enjoy bullying kids like you.”

  She was so adorable.

  He was having a lot of fun teasing her.

  She was a walking happy fruit.1

  However, Ye Sang did not want to be a happy fruit. She swung her legs and soon recovered her energy after a brief rest on the bench.

  “Mister, let’s go see the big tigers……”

  Su Ye: “Fine……”

  Such a pitiful kid. She could not even speak properly after he pinched her face.

  Su Ye was surprised that the kid did not forget about the tigers. He calmly placed the girl’s hat back on her head.

  He switched the topic before the girl became unhappy, “Let’s go.”

  “I’ll bring you to the tigers.”

  It immediately caught the little girl’s attention. She happily followed the man and hugged his leg, “Daddy is the best.”

  “.……” Su Ye finally saw through her lies.

  She would call him father if she was happy, but she would call him mister if she was not happy.

  It turned out that even the way she addressed people could change depending on her mood.

  The zone where the tigers were kept was more exciting than the previous zone. There was only a transparent glass panel between the visitors and the tiger. Many people had crowded in front of the glass to take pictures and observe the tiger.

  The tiger on the other side was obviously at its limits. It was on the verge of pouncing at the glass.

  Su Ye was afraid it might scare the little girl. He hugged the chubby kid tightly to stop her from running toward the glass.

  “Come back here.”

  The little kid was just about to dash forward when Su Ye quickly grabbed her collar and pulled her back like a chick.

  Ye Sang pulled her hair and puffed her cheeks unhappily. She pointed at the tiger and said, “Big tiger……”

  Su Ye replied patiently, “I can tell what it is.”

  He tried to distract the little girl so she would stop staring at the tiger. He spread his legs and wrapped his arms around her. He pointed at the aviaries and said, “Why don’t we go see the birds?”

  Ye Sang did not want to see the birds.

  The little girl in Su Ye’s arms looked around and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure before she could turn down the offer.

  !!!

  The man seemed to have noticed something. He looked in her direction. The little girl quickly lowered her head and said as if she was doing it subconsciously to survive, “I want to see the birds.”

  “Daddy!” She began to run, “Let’s go see the birds.”

  The kid’s mood was as unpredictable as the weather.

  Su Ye’s gaze stopped on a spot not far away for a mere second before he quickly ran after Ye Sang.

  The aviaries were livelier compared to the quiet crowd at the tigers.

  The chirps of the birds were pleasing to the ear. They could hear parrots mimicking a human’s speech too.

  The amused kids were laughing out loud.

  Su Ye caught up to the little girl and chuckled when he saw her diffident reaction, “Didn’t you say you didn’t want to see the birds?”

  What exactly made the kid run away so quickly?

  Su Ye still did not understand.

  The little kid hid behind him while murmuring under her breath, “He can’t see me, he can’t see me.”

  She was simply hypnotizing herself.

  Huo Yao, who was not far away, smirked after seeing the girl’s reaction.

  Was she pretending that she did not see me?

  Pretending that she did not see him?

  The same trick was ineffective against Huo Yao who had long decided not to be a human.

  He picked up his pace and approached Su Ye.

  The little girl shuddered and hid deeper in the man’s arms.

  Su Ye noticed her unusual behavior. He patted on her back and curled his lips, “What’s wrong?”

  Ye Sang blinked. She did not dare to say that she had a feeling her father was going to beat her up.

  Su Ye did not push it when he noticed the little girl was reluctant to speak.

  He was just about to bring the kid to the aviaries when someone dragged the little girl back by grabbing her collar.

  “Ye Sang?” The girl almost fell to the ground on weak knees when she heard the voice that was like the whisper of the devil.

  Luckily, in order to protect her dignity, she only trembled and tried to break free after letting out a cry. She tried to reach Su Ye.

  Huo Yao’s expression sank even further.

  He grabbed the back of the girl’s neck and scoffed, “Did you have enough fun?”

  Ye Sang had an urge to reply, “Not yet.”

  But she did not have the courage to do so.

  The little kid simply froze and lowered her head like a frozen eggplant.

  Su Ye finally realized something did not feel right. He squinted and asked, “Are you her father?”

  He could not think of any other possibilities other than the man was the girl’s relative or father.

  Huo Yao stared at Ye Sang and chuckled. He was just about to admit it when the girl hugged his leg and asked, “Mister……”

  “Did you come to kidnap me because I’m cute?”

  Child Trafficker Huo Yao, “.……”

  The kid was seriously messing with him.

  He pinched her chubby face and withheld the urge to beat her ass up in the public. He asked with a stern face, “What did you call me?”

  The little kid lifted her gaze, “Mister……”

  Huo Yao looked back at her expressionlessly.

  Very well……

  She was going to pay when they got back home.

  Perhaps the look in her father’s eyes was just too scary. Ye Sang did not feel like going back with him.

  Her only choice was to not admit it no matter what happened.

  The novel mentioned that HL was going to disband after losing the match.

  Even Su Ye’s teammates did not understand why he was involved in the match-fixing.

  Everyone was scolding him on the Internet. The day marked the end of his career too.

  The novel also mentioned……

  Su Ye was neither a good nor a bad person. He was not necessarily evil, especially since he did not try to explain himself after enduring the shame and scoldings by himself.

  But to say he was a good person……

  It actually sounded even more ridiculous.

  The novel clearly stated he was made the successor of Grandworld Corporation after he left the competitive scene.

  He proceeded to destroy the dreams of many professional esports players in the future.

  Many teams were supposed to win a tournament, yet these teams ended up as the runner-up after his intervention.

  The little girl grabbed Su Ye’s shirt as she collected her thoughts. She did not dare to lift her gaze as she felt guilty in front of Huo Yao.

  Su Ye raised his brows, “You don’t know this kid?”

  They acted like they knew one another judging from the interactions between them.

  Huo Yao met the little kid’s gaze and said with a cold grin, “I don’t know her.”

  As if……

  He would teach her a lesson once they went back home!

  The little girl ducked behind Su Ye. She was in such a difficult situation.

  These adults did not understand her hardship.

  She had to endure beatings from another father when she was trying to rescue one father.

  The little girl cried.

  Life was so difficult.

  Su Ye’s gaze shifted back and forth between the two. He squinted and picked up the little girl who acted like she had nothing else to live for. He pinched her chubby cheeks and said, “Come, let’s go see the birds.”

  Huo Yao was standing on the side with his freezing glare. How could Ye Sang possibly have the mood to see birds?

  She puffed her cheeks pitifully, “Birds……birds aren’t fun to watch……”

  Su Ye raised his brows, “What do you want to do then?”

  Ye Sang: “.……”

  I want to go home to my mother, sob sob……

  This place is too scary. The whole place is brimming with the love of her father.

  Su Ye looked at Ye Sang and said, “Actually……birds are interesting too……”

  He pointed at a bird of an unknown species not far away and said after a pause, “That is a huge bird.”

  The kid swallowed her saliva and added, “I doubt it’s going to fit in a pot.”

  Su Ye: “.……”

  Ye Sang began to recover at the mention of food. She shook her head and said, “Daddy, the bird is very beautiful.”

  She looked at Su Ye with glittering eyes.

  The man’s heart softened.

  He curled his lips and agreed with the girl.

  The word “daddy” successfully provoked Huo Yao’s jealousy.

  How many days had it been?

  He had gone from a father to a mister.

  Huo Yao took a deep breath.

  He tried his best to retain his smile.

  He must control his temper.

  The kid was only disobedient because she was pampered.

  She just needed a beating after they went home.

  The little kid suddenly sensed a murderous aura from behind.

  She tugged her neck and said, “Daddy, the bird bird is so pretty.”

  Su Ye who was leaning against a pillar almost slipped and fell to the ground.

  Bird bird?

  He twisted his lips and stared at the little girl.

  Huo Yao was almost at his limits when he heard the girl called Su Ye daddy again.

  He straightened his figure and pulled the little kid to her. He asked with a straight face, “What did you call me?”

  Ye Sang, “Mis……mister……”

  Huo Yao: “Fine.”

  Very well……

  The man was so mad that he had turned sour all of a sudden. He forced a smile and said, “Did you come to the zoo just to see the birds?”

  The little girl thought for a moment. She realized her father was not going to beat her, thus she gathered her courage and replied softly, “I’m here to see the big tiger.”

  Su Ye squinted after hearing the exchange between the two.

  They definitely knew one another.

  Huo Yao smiled, “Should mister bring you to see the birds then?”

  See……

  He was so mad that he was calling himself mister too.

  The little girl subconsciously shook her head.

  Su Ye stood properly and carried the girl in his arms. The smile in his eyes disappeared.

  “My daughter already said she isn’t going with you. Are you trying to snatch her away?”

  Huo Yao placed one hand in his pocket and looked at Su Ye. He said, “I just want to bring her to go see the birds.”

  The little girl lowered her head and murmured, “But I don’t think I want to see the birds.”

  Huo Yao almost lost his mind, “Weren’t you enjoying yourself when looking at the bird just now?”


  Chapter 217: Are You Asking Sangang to Sleep on the Street with You?

  Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

  Huo Yao almost died of anger. “.……Weren’t you excited when you saw the bird just now?”

  Ye Sang lifted her head with a confused look, “That’s because the bird is pretty.”

  Huo Yao: “.……”

  How frustrating!

  Su Ye almost died of laughter on the side. He rubbed the little girl’s head. She was truly a happy fruit.

  Huo Yao took a deep breath to calm himself down. He said with a faint smile, “Right.”

  “But the birds I’m going to show you are bigger than his.”

  Wasn’t it just a bird?

  His daughter acted like she had never seen one before.

  Ye Sang did not give up. She tried to argue, “But……”

  Huo Yao interrupted her, “But my birds are bigger than his.”

  The little girl: “.……”

  She cried as she finally realized she could not possibly win the argument against her cheapskate father.

  The people nearby almost burst out laughing.

  Huo Yao curled his lips without any sense of guilt after the kid started crying. He felt a lot better.

  Little kid……

  As if you really think I can’t win against you……

  Su Ye fell silent. He was having a headache from the noise that the girl was making as she cried in his arms.

  What the heck was going on today?

  He took a deep breath and picked the kid up, “Don’t cry.”

  He said expressionlessly, “I’ll show you the big tiger.”

  The little girl immediately stopped crying.

  Su Ye: “.……”

  The kid can really change her mood in an instant.

  Ye Sang soon forgot the unpleasant experience as she sat in Su Ye’s arms. She swung her legs and looked forward to seeing the tiger.

  Huo Yao: “.……”

  He, too, followed.

  He did not have any trouble looking for his daughter following the GPS. He initially planned to snatch the kid away with force.

  However, it was quite obvious that the kid had her own plan.

  As such, Huo Yao did not force her to go back with him. After all, once HL lost the match, Su Ye would be leaving too.

  By then, Ye Sang would be sent back to her home regardless of what she wanted.

  The two men walked one after the other. They were exceedingly handsome, but since Su Ye was wearing a peaked cap, the people could not see his face clearly.

  They ended up placing their attention on Huo Yao.

  “That guy looks a little familiar……”

  “Why do you say so?” The person’s girlfriend asked.

  The man scratched his head, “He looks like my boss……”

  The man was not too sure.

  After all, it did not make sense for a busy man like his boss to visit the zoo.

  The interlude did not bother anyone. The little kid was like a horse that had reclaimed its freedom. She immediately ran forward.

  Su Ye’s eyes blinked.

  Huo Yao subconsciously had the urge to grab her back.

  What if the tiger scared her?

  The two were just a step too late. The kid had already run forward. She boldly stuck her face onto the glass and stared at the tiger curiously.

  The tiger slowly moved forward while looking at the little kid that was provoking it. The displeased animal reached its claws out and scratched the glass.

  The girl did not react to its scratches.

  However, it did not stop the tiger from scratching the glass.

  The others would be terrified to face the tiger at such a close distance.

  However, in a kid’s view, their world was always full of marvels and wonders.

  The girl opened her eyes wide and mimicked the tiger by scratching at the glass too.

  The animal and the kid stared at one another. The way they were scratching the glass clumsily amused the crowd.

  Some burst into huge laughter and posted the clip on their Weibo.

  How adorable.

  One of the ladies was a blogger with thousands of fans. Her blog was not extremely popular, and she would usually post photos of her daily routines to gather people’s attention.

  However, her update today was not her selfie or a snapshot of her daily routine. It was a video clip.

  I stumbled into an adorable kid at the zoo today. She’s so cute.

  The post was attached with a video clip.

  The fans who checked the video clip out of curiosity widened their eyes.

  “Damn, where did this cutie come from?”

  “HAHAHA, look at the tiger, she’s like ‘I’m just wiping the glass here, don’t mind me,’ they are so adorable!”

  “Tiger: Why so nervous? I’m just here to clean the glass.”

  “HAHAHA, the kid is so cute. The clip reminds me of another kid who kept crying in the haunted house at the theme park. She really melts my heart.”

  The video clip got a lot of attention after it was posted.

  However, the person involved had no idea.

  While the kid and the tiger were happily scratching the glass, Su Ye stood on the side with a smile on his face.

  Huo Yao stopped his mental struggle. He looked at his heartless daughter and closed his eyes to calm his thoughts. He said, “You should have realized that she’s my daughter.”

  Su Ye: “.……”

  Tsk……

  “I’m sorry, I didn’t realize it,” Su Ye smiled.

  Huo Yao: “Fine.”

  He grinned and patted Su Ye on the shoulder, “I don’t care if you’ve realized it or not, but she’s indeed my daughter.”

  His voice was cold naturally. He looked at Ye Sang and said, “I’m going to take the kid away. You wouldn’t mind, right?”

  Normally……

  Su Ye would not be bothered if someone had come to take their kid.

  But now……

  Su Ye felt uneasy when he heard that the girl was leaving.

  He had always followed his own will. He had never made any decision to bring himself grievance. He slowed down his tone as he made up his mind not to give the girl back.

  “Oh? Is that so?” Su Ye’s facial features were absolutely perfect. His eyes curled slightly as he wore a faint smile, “But your daughter claimed that she doesn’t know you.”

  “After all, you can’t really prove your identity now. You might be a human trafficker.”

  Huo Yao: “.……”

  Why must these people deserve a beating more than the others?

  Huo Yao did not lose his temper. He looked at Su Ye calmly as his eyes flickered coldly, “You want to take my daughter away from me?”

  Huo Yao leaned to the side and tilted his head. His voice turned cold, “You will have to do better.”

  He grinned, “Which team do you think is going to recruit you guys after HL loses? Is the girl going to live on the streets with you? Huh?”

  Su Ye’s smile faded away too.

  He did not ask a stupid question like, “How did you know that?”

  Instead, he went forward and picked the girl up into his arms.

  He blurted out indifferently, “That’s none of your business.”

  He then left expressionlessly.

  After the two left the zoo, Su Ye looked at the kid in his arms without saying a word.
