Assassin Dad and His Genius Daughter

Chapter 66 Too Many Coincidences

Ren Ye drove the both of them to a nearby ice cream store, Ren Ye stopped the car and hugged Ren Jia into his arms. Jing Xue decided to stay behind in the car as she didn't want to attract any unwanted attention.

"Mama, why don't you come?"

Ren Jia was slightly disheartened as she saw her Mama was unable to go with them, Jing Xue's eyelashes trembled as she pinched her cheeks.

"If Mama goes, you might not be able to get your ice cream."

Ren Ye's dull eyes dimmed as he caressed Ren Jia's head, "Alright, Mama will come."

Jing Xue was slightly taken aback, Ren Ye curled his lips into an indifferent smile, "We'll go first and you come along after ten minutes."

"Hopefully, we aren't attracting any other attention or you'd prefer to stay here for the time being. After all, I can't guarantee you may not be recognized by any."

Ren Ye expressed his thoughts composedly. Jing Xue pursed her lips and couldn't help but ponder inside her head.

"What is there to be afraid of? I am with my family and sooner or later, they will find out anyway?" Jing Xue's eyelashes shook with emotions.

Jing Xue raised her head and gave Ren Ye a dazzling smile, "Give me ten minutes to get ready, you go first."

Ren Ye nodded his head, Ren Jia was excited as she nodded her head as well, "Mama, we will wait for you!"

Jing Xue sighed in relief as she watched them leave, she couldn't help but wonder if being transmigrated in this body was a curse or a blessing.

She watched them carefully as she ponders.

"At least, I can protect them now…"

Ren Ye entered the store and was greeted with the presence of many sweet couples and many salarymen, he was slightly taken aback and looked at the clock.

"It is 7 pm…I don't think it is a good idea to go get ice cream at this time. What if she gets cavities?"

Ren Ye frowned as he looked at Ren Jia with concern.

Ren Jia didn't know what her Papa was thinking of as she raised her hand and pointed at the pink ice cream in front of her.

Her eyes beamed brightly, making Ren Ye unable to say any word of refusal, "Papa! Strawberry!"

Ren Ye snorted and ordered the flavor she wanted, Ren Ye also thought of Wu Qi and Wu Ling as well and wanted to order them something.

"Jia'er, do you know what is Wu Ling's favorite flavor?"

His question took Ren Jia by surprise as she pondered loudly.

"If I remember correctly, sister Ling mentioned she likes cherry-flavored candies…"

Ren Ye nodded his head and ordered cherry-flavored ice cream and chocolate; chocolate was Wu Qi's favorite thing to eat when they were suffering from their assignments' deadlines.

"What about Mama?"

Ren Jia looked toward her Papa with anticipation, Ren Ye's neck suddenly felt stiff. Ren Ye pursed his lips tightly and thought,

"What flavor does she like again?"

Jing Xue loved to chew on nuts before but he didn't know if she still retained this hobby after being reborn. Ren Ye couldn't possibly assume at first.

He looked toward Matcha and thought, since a lot of girls like Matcha, wouldn't she like it as well?

Ren Ye wasn't sure and left it up to Jing Xue to decide since she was going to come later, Ren Jia didn't appear surprised as her Papa was always dull and slow regarding relations and affection.

"Papa, don't you think Mama will get mad if you don't order her any? But you ordered for others?"

"…"

Ren Ye coughed awkwardly and ordered almond-flavored ice cream, hoping she doesn't reprimand him for choosing the wrong order. Ren Ye felt helpless in this matter.

"This is much more complicated than me choosing my weapon…"

Ren Ye sat down at the corner of the store and opened the package for Ren Jia, who was drooling at the sight of the ice cream. She raised her head as her eyes shone with dazzling light.

"Thank you, Papa."

"I know you worked extremely hard for me and Mama so we could get ice cream."

Ren Jia spoke with her purest and childish affection for her Papa, Ren Ye smiled softly and patted on the head repeatedly.

Ren Ye couldn't help his eyes from swelling with contentment as he sighed inwardly, "Ah to have a daughter…"

Old Yi hummed in agreement as he replied jokingly, "Ah, the number of men whom I fought with, I have seen them in my life becoming a father and slowly turning into docile and loving fathers to their daughters."

"Oh, I heard most men prefer having daughters than sons…"

Ren Ye snorted as he replied confidently, "I don't mind if my child is a son or a daughter."

"I will regard them as my child and treat them with utmost equality."

Ren Ye was frank with his life. Had Jing Xue had a son, Ren Ye would have treated him the same way he treated Ren Jia.

Boy or girl…in the end, they are only my child…

Ren Ye hugged Ren Jia closer to him as he watched the door, silently waiting for Jing Xue to appear. But after more than five minutes of not getting any response from the door, Ren Ye immediately got a text message.

"Help! I was recognized by a fan."

"…"

Ren Ye's face turned dark as he sent back a text, "Alright then, I ordered ice cream for you."

"I'll go back to you in another five minutes."

"Okay," Jing Xue replied with an image of a girl raising her thumb but after a couple of seconds, she sent another message.

"Do you even know what is my favorite flavor?"

"…"

Ren Ye didn't reply as he turned off his phone with an emotionless face, he turned to watch Ren Jia who was eating quite musingly. Ren Ye took a piece of towel and scrubbed the excess off her face.

"Thank you, Papa."

Ren Ye nodded his head and he watched her eat, he hasn't eaten anything yet but rather let Ren Jia finish her meal first before bringing them to a restaurant.

"Papa, will Mama come?"

"No, she was caught by a fan. We'll go back to her," Ren Ye waited for Ren Jia to express her disappointment but Ren Jia smiled happily at him, "It is alright, Papa."

"When we go out together, Mama always makes sure to have big bulky men in black suits to guard us and the place."

"…"

"Mama said she did them so no one would come and steal me away again."

"…"

Ren Ye didn't know whether to cry or laugh, he somewhat pitied Jing Xue for having to live such a strange life.

"Your Mama is right."

"She can't come here because the big bulky boys aren't here today," Ren Ye spoke with dull eyes, "You might get kidnapped if I wasn't here."

"…"

Ren Jia's body shook as she looked around the place with fear, "Where is the big bad kidnapper?"

"The guy in the cap," Ren Ye pointed at a man wearing a blue cap and a white t-shirt, who entered the store with a relatively younger girl beside him.

The girl appeared to be frightened as she stayed close to the man, the man had his arms around her shoulder as they enter the store.

Ren Ye's eyes dimmed as he closely observed their faces, his face gradually turned grave as he furrowed his eyebrows.

"I didn't expect someone to fall right into my doorsteps…"

The man was none other than Professor Liang whom Ren Ye has met multiple times.

The man nearing his seventies was spotted with a girl who seemed to be in her early 20s.

Ren Ye's eye darkened as he lifted Ren Jia off the ground and held her in his arms, "Let's go."

Ren Jia nodded her head and held her ice cream cup as she licked the spoon, Ren Ye wiped them off her lips with his sleeves. He snorted disapprovingly with a thought inside his head.

? "Too many coincidences today."

"I feel I may have fallen into a trap…"

Ren Ye slowly left the place, he side-eyed Professor Liang intimidatingly as he left. The man wearing his blue cap couldn't help but shake as he turned his head around, feeling as though someone was planning to kill him.

"What are you thinking?"

The youthful-looking girl asked him with concern after noticing his distraction, Professor Liang shook his head dismissively and gritted his teeth.

"Nothing."

I thought my activities have been found out by someone. I can't help but feel someone is watching my every movement, waiting for me to make a mistake before striking me.

Ren Ye held Ren Jia in one arm and the other was holding boxes of ice cream for other people. He squinted his eyes and informed Old Yi.

"We have found the reason why Uncle Jie had gone missing."

"Mm?" Old Yi suddenly replied with interest.

"The man I mentioned before who was his friend and met up with him at a cafe, it was him just now," Ren Ye informed him with a solemn face.

"No wonder, I feel disgusting looking at them," Old Yi nodded his head and rubbed his chin.

"Perhaps, we kill him now?"

"No, not yet. I have another plan."

His eyes slowly filled up ruthlessly, "Trick him into revealing himself first and then have him face the consequences of his action."

That is by revealing his relationships and ties to many corrupted powerhouses.

He raised his eyes and saw Jing Xue, from afar, who was surrounded by a group of vigorous youth as she smiled awkwardly and conversed with them.

Their eyes shone with worship as they watch Jing Xue.

Jing Xue wasn't stingy nor rude as many celebrities were, she responded when they approached her and even signed their books and shirts. To have a star with a genuinely warm personality was hard to come across.

Ren Ye smiled gently.
