Chapter 1004: Her Curiosity

He Yibin murmured with a grumpy expression. He was like an aggrieved woman even though he was clearly a man.

“Xunxun is asleep. I have to send her home.” Lu Yi continued to walk forward without stopping in his tracks, carrying his daughter with one hand while holding the other stuff with another hand. He did not forget to close the door when he exited the room.

Looking at his empty office, He Yibin was so mad that he even had the urge to smash something.

“Seriously? Is it because I don’t have a daughter?”

“But, it is true that I don’t have one.”

Forget about it. He did not even have a girlfriend, let alone a daughter. Lu Yi had become a widower as Yan Huan had gone missing for a year. During this period of time, he never stopped looking for her. He Yibin knew Lu Yi’s personality very well for they grew up together. They went back a long way, so how could he not understand how stubborn Lu Yi was?

He would not give up even if it meant that he had to search for her until his last breath.

Otherwise, Lu Yi would not know how to spend his remaining days.

But, He Yibin shook his head. She’s been missing for a year. Even if she is found later, Yan Huan might not be the same person she was a year ago. The three kids, especially Xunxun, are pitiful without their mother. She had been raised personally by her mother since she was a baby. She was the closest to her mother. After her mother went missing, Little Xunxun was the most wretched and heartbroken one. She still refuses to speak until today.

The Lu family’s little princess ought to be pampered and coddled. Her father was a prosecutor while her mother was the best actress in the country. Blessed with a good gene, her little face was delicately beautiful. Alas, the little girl was born into bad luck and nearly died as a newborn. She was now even more unlucky after her mother disappeared. Sigh, poor Lu Yi, poor Little Xunxun.

Although it was already the late spring in March, the weather in Sea City was still chilly as gusts of cold air swept past the city. The wind occasionally hit Lu Yi’s body, causing his windbreaker to flutter along the wind. Little Xunxun hid under her father’s coat. Her tiny body absorbed the warmth from her father’s body. As though she was sleeping in a toasty and cozy room, she yawned before grabbing the button on her father’s windbreaker with her fair and tiny fingers. Lu Yi stopped in his tracks before he lowered his gaze to look at his daughter who greatly resembled his wife.

The resemblance between Little Xunxun and Yan Huan became increasingly pronounced as Little Xunxun grew up. She was basically a mini Yan Huan and would definitely become prettier than her mother when she grows into a lady. Her personality was very similar to Yan Huan’s too.

She was actually just a stubborn girl. Since the day her mother went missing, she refused to speak at all. He knew that his daughter was not a mute, but merely unwilling to speak. However, she might really lose her speaking ability in the long run.

He caressed his daughter’s soft face. Little Xunxun smiled, happy that her father was playing with her. Her eyes curved into the shape of two pretty crescent moons.

Lu Yi played with his daughter and pinched her tiny nose. The little girl wrapped her tiny hands around her father’s finger. Her face was even smaller than her father’s palm. She was really small and lovable.

“Let’s go home.”

Lu Yi tapped her on her little shoulder. Little Xunxun had already nestled in her father’s arms as though he was a cradle.

Occasionally, she craned her neck out of her father’s embrace, seemingly curious about the world surrounding her. Her black eyes seemed to be the most crystal black gemstone on earth.

“Stay inside. It’s cold.”

Lu Yi grinned as he looked at her before gently pinching her little nose again. The little girl had grown up now and was intelligent. She could obviously understand him. She could usually understand all his words.

The little girl’s eyes curved into a crescent moon-like shape again as she rested her head on her father’s forearm. She thought that he was playing with her.

Carrying his daughter, Lu Yi continued to move forward. His windbreaker was fluttering in the wind, occasionally revealing his legs as he advanced with steady and firm paces.

He was a mature and charismatic man. An 18-year-old boy was too young, not knowing how to bear responsibilities. A man at the age of 25 had just started his career, and was too impetuous. His charisma would only begin to grow at the age of 28. A 30-year-old man was like an old well, carrying the mellowness he gained over time.

A 30-year-old man, a 30-year-old Lu Yi, was gaining his popularity among the ladies even though he had three children. Previously, no one paid any attention to him. Now, as though his charisma had turned ripe, he seemed to carry a masculine hormone that drew women to him.

Little Xunxun placed her tiny face on her father’s shoulder, but she continued to look behind her back.

Lu Yi wanted to adjust her position, but the little girl insisted on maintaining the same posture and refused to let her father carry her with the other hand.

Lu Yi had no choice but to let her continue lying on his shoulder. However, he wrapped her in his windbreaker before accelerating.

Eyes wide open, Little Xunxun stared at the same spot, no matter how far her father had moved forward. It was as though she had discovered something that she was extremely curious about...

Meanwhile, Lu Yi did not know that not far away, there was a woman standing in the woods. She was as skinny as a skeleton and had completely wrapped herself up. She was hiding in the thicket, watching him as well as Little Xunxun.

The woman only came out of the woods after they disappeared into the distance. At this moment, she revealed her eyes, and this pair of eyes was filled with hesitation, the feeling of missing her family and an overflow of uncontrollable sadness.

The woman suddenly wiped off her tears, turned around and left.

Lu Yi carried his daughter to his car and suddenly he threw his car keys on the car bonnet.

He turned around, gently pressing his daughter’s face into his arms. This time Little Xunxun was more obedient, but she seemed lethargic. Is there something wrong with the vaccine?

However, the little girl still had a ruddy complexion, her little mouth pink. It did not seem like anything was wrong with her. She just seemed tired.

This kid had always been like this. She did not like to interact with others, unlike the other two children who were better at socializing.

Yi Ling said that Xunxun’s personality was just like her mother’s. Yan Huan was also like that when she was young; she did not like to talk and usually played alone. Of course, Xunxun who did not talk was also like Lu Yi, who only started to talk when he was around three years old. No one had any idea how long it would take for Little Xunxun to speak.
