Chapter 459 - If She Had a Daddy (1)
So now, as Song Fengyan waited here with the little buns and Lan Yunru in daze, he wondered how long he needed to wait and to suffer before he could find out the truth. Just like what his sister said, if he wanted to make sure that girl was his, there's no better way but to run a paternity test with her.
Song Fengyan knew that there's a possibility that Lan Xiyan would lie to him again. Who knew what she was thinking when she deceived him about their child back then? He thought that after being with her for three years, he would be able to know what was on her mind, but boy, how wrong he was!
Once the little buns and Lan Yunru finished their snack, they resumed their play at once. Since Huo Yunhao had already left earlier, Xiao Bao had no other choice but to play with his sister and Lan Yunru. The three of them played toy blocks at the center of the room, while Song Fengyan searched everything he could read about 'Luo Qingqing' that was available online.
As expected there wasn't much written about her personal life except that both of her parents had passed away and she had a little brother living somewhere in the country. However, what took his attention was that she didn't disclose her real name as Lan Xiyan.
Was she afraid that people would start to dig on her past if they knew her real name? That would make sense to Song Fengyan, who understood how dirty the entertainment industry could get. In fact, he was also surprised that she'd taken an interest in this profession, considering how reserved her personality was.
"Oh, Yunyun, your hair ties fell!" He heard Little Star say and saw her picking up the other girl's hair tie. One of the braids of Lan Yunru came loose without her noticing of it. Because her hair wasn't as long as Little Star, everytime she moved her head, the ties that held her hair started to get loose slowly.
"Ah!" Lan Yunru exclaimed. "I'll just remove the other one then." She pulled the other tie from the other side of her head, letting her hair down.
"Don't you have a comb in your bag? I'll take it for you." Little Star suggested and didn't wait for Lan Yunru's response as she already took the other girl's bag, rummaging through its contents before finding what she was looking for.
"Uncle Yan, please help Yunyun with her hair!" Little Star passed the pink comb to Song Fengyan's hand, much to his shock.
Unlike Feng Tianyi, who had a lot of practice tying Little Star's long hair, Song Fengyan had no idea how to groom his daughter's hair. He stared down awkwardly at the comb in his hand before turning to Lan Yunru who was waiting for him patiently.
Was this how Feng Tianyi felt whenever Little Star asked him for something? Song Fengyan realized how hard it was to decline the little girl's request.
Seeing that the two girls had cornered him once again, he could only sigh to himself and allow Lan Yunru to take a seat in front of him. He hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to do. What if he hurt the girl midway through? Song Fengyan didn't think he would be able to take it if he made his daughter cry.
"Uncle?" When he heard Lan Yunru's voice, he snapped out of his daze and started to work on her. Because her hair was a little wavy, Song Fengyan had to be careful combing her hair so he wouldn't accidentally pull any part of it.
"Should I tie your hair or should we leave it as it is?" He asked his daughter.
"Just comb it, Uncle. Mommy will give me a bath as soon as we're home." Lan Yunru stayed still in her place, not wanting to cause trouble for her friends' uncle.
Uncle Yan was very kind to her today. He even peeled and sliced her favorite apple earlier. Lan Yunru, who didn't have any father figure in her life, wondered if this was what it felt like to have an uncle or a daddy.
She had seen how Little Star was close to her daddy when she went over to Peach Blossom Garden to play with them. Uncle Tianyi was very attentive to Little Star and Feiyu. She had seen him preparing their meals and even giving them an extra share of desserts whenever Little Star's mommy wasn't looking.
Lan Yunru wondered if she would experience the same thing if she had a daddy. Why didn't she have a daddy anyway? While she never asked her mommy in fear of making her angry or cry, it was normal for her to get curious.
The other kids she'd seen in the playground here in school as well have a pair of mommy and daddy but why didn't she? If she questioned her mommy, would she be mad at her? Lan Yunru wondered.
Like his daughter, Song Fengyan was also lost in his own thoughts. Why was Lan Xiyan's taking time to arrive? The sun was about to set and the sky was starting to darken. She wasn't planning on leaving their daughter here, right?
"Yun'er, is your mommy always busy? Is she always not at home?" He asked the girl.
"En, Uncle. Mommy always works late. Sometimes she doesn't go home when she's too busy." Lan Yunru said solemnly. Her mommy said she needed to work hard because there's no one who can support their living but her.
If she had a daddy, would he share her mommy's burden? Maybe if she had a daddy, her mommy doesn't need to work too hard and would be at home more with her.
Maybe that would be wishful thinking. Lan Yunru didn't dare to hope too much because she knew it would be impossible. It's because if she had a daddy, he shouldn't have left them.
