Chapter 478 - My Very Own Daddy (2)
"Mommy!" Lan Yunru ran towards her mother with glee. Although she enjoyed her day with the Tang twins, her happiness was incomparable whenever she was with her mommy. She cherished every moment she spent with her, no matter how long or short their time together was.
Lan Xiyan was immediately brought back to reality the moment she felt her daughter's arm wrapped around her t.h.i.g.h. She recovered and returned the smile Yunyun sent her way. She bent down to the little girl's eye level and tucked the stray locks of Lan Yunru's hair behind her ear before kissing her cheek affectionately.
"Did my Yunyun enjoy her day with Little Star and Feiyu?" She asked her daughter.
"En! Little Star and I played on the swing! We had a lot of fun! Even Uncle Yan even promised to make another swing for us to use next time." Lan Yunru said excitedly, making Song Fengyan smile at her happy disposition.
He was glad that even though Lan Yunru was missing a father for the past years, she grew up as a sensible and happy child. He could also see how much Lan Xiyan loved their daughter, as if her whole world revolves around their child.
"Is that so? Then don't forget to thank your Uncle Yan once he's done." Lan Xiyan took a glance towards Song Fengyan's direction, her expression a little guarded, but there was a hint of acceptance in her eyes, as if she had already expected that they would encounter each other eventually.
"Okay, Mommy!" Lan Yunru agreed to her mother's words easily.
They heard the cab driver calling after Lan Xiyan, asking if they still needed a ride but Song Fengyan stopped her by holding onto her wrist.
"I'll take you and Yun'er home, if it's alright with you." He then looked at their daughter who was staring at them curiously.
"Yun'er, I'm going to take you and your Mommy home, okay?" He told their daughter.
Lan Yunru looked at him, then at her mommy in confusion before nodding in response. By the way they were talking to each other, did her mommy know Uncle Yan? Were they friends before? She wondered. But her mommy didn't have many friends.
Song Fengyan released Lan Xiyan's wrist before going to the cab driver and settled Lan Xiyan's bill. The driver seemed pleased to be paid generously and thanked Song Fengyan before driving away, leaving the three standing outside the empress's property.
Lan Xiyan pursed her lips and sighed inwardly. She knew that this talk was already long overdue, and she cannot avoid the father of her child, no matter how hard she tried to avoid him. She could be an airhead at times, but she was aware of what was happening around her.
"Come, let's go before we get stuck in a traffic jam along the way." Song Fengyan said as he took his car keys from his coat and held Lan Yunru's little hand, leading the girl to his black sedan parked across Tang Moyu's car.
The mother and daughter slid into the backseat of the car, while Song Fengyan ignited the engine, adjusting the mirror in front of him before driving away from Peach Blossom Garden. He purposely slowed down his driving this time, not wanting to cause discomfort to his young daughter, who was happily sitting next to her mother.
He remained silent and listened attentively as Lan Yunru narrated what she had done for the day, and how her day was with the Tang twins and Huo Yunhao.
"Mommy, the eclairs we had for a snack today was really good!" The little girl said to her mother. "Mommy, can we buy some later?" She patted her cheek with her forefinger. "Little Star said her daddy bought it."
Song Fengyan glanced at his dashboard mirror and smiled at his daughter.
"I'm afraid the store must be closed by this time, Yun'er. The eclairs easily get sold out every day." He said.
He and Feng Tianyi were only able to buy some of it because the devil had made reservations prior to their visit to the bakery. He now understands why Feng Tianyi always goes the extra mile to pamper his twins and his wife.
"Uncle Yan, do you know where to buy it?" Lan Yunru exclaimed in amazement. So even Uncle Yan knew where to buy good and yummy snacks like Little Star's daddy?
Song Fengyan couldn't help but smile at his daughter's cute expression.
"En. I know where to find the good stuff. I'll give your mommy the address later so the two of you can check it out." He offered.
After all, he was the right-hand man of the devil. It was only natural for him to know a lot of things and where to find them in Shenzhen. Working with the devil over the years, he now knew Shanghai and Shenzhen like the back on his hand.
"Thank you, Uncle Yan! You are the best!" Lan Yunru exclaimed. If she wasn't strapped to the backseat with a seat belt, she would have given her Uncle Yan a kiss on his cheek as a reward. This uncle of the Tang twins was really kind to her.
How lucky was Little Star and Xiao Bao to have a father who was skilled in the kitchen and a very kind uncle like Uncle Yan? Lan Yunru also wanted a daddy, but that was impossible since her mommy hadn't told her anything yet about her daddy.
Seeing the sullen expression on her face through Lan Yunru's reflection on the mirror, Song Fengyan was suddenly bothered by it.
"Yun'er, are you alright? Are you feeling dizzy? Is Uncle Yan driving too fast?" He asked worriedly.
