Chapter 123 Dad, Go Chase Mom_1

After resolving the incident with Li Changcheng, Xu Fan, holding Tongtong, proceeded to the presidential suite he had booked.

It was still Song Qi leading the way, but now the look she gave Xu Fan carried even more of a hidden sense of admiration, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable himself.

“Mr. Xu, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t know what to do,” Song Qi once again thanked him at the door of the room.

“It’s nothing, no need to dwell on it,” Xu Fan said nonchalantly with a laugh, then shook Tongtong in his arms and said, “Say goodbye to sister.”

“Goodbye, sister!” Tongtong obediently smiled and bid farewell to Song Qi.

Xu Fan slowly closed the door, then, cradling Tongtong, he made his way to the bedroom.

Turning on the TV, Xu Fan said to Tongtong, “Sweetheart, how about you watch some TV?”

Tongtong tilted her head, looking a bit aggrieved as she spoke to Xu Fan, “Daddy, daddy, today Tongtong met several pretty sisters, but they remind Tongtong of mommy. Tongtong doesn’t want to watch TV now; Tongtong wants to see mommy.”

Rubbing his temples with some headache, Xu Fan thought about the beautiful women they had indeed encountered today: Li Xin, the pretty manager from the Farmers Bank; Song Qi, the front desk manager of the hotel; and Zhao Xiaoqing, the young nurse from the training grounds. All of them were stunning beauties, each with their own distinctive features.

However, when compared in every way to Tongtong’s mother, Xu Yixue, they still fell a little short.

Tongtong’s words made Xu Fan somewhat emotional. Lately, he had been through a lot with Tongtong, even putting her in the midst of several accidents. She was only a four-year-old child and shouldn’t have to go through so much.

Moreover, prior to this, Tongtong had lived a nomadic life in America for several years with Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning, relying only on each other. It was natural that Tongtong’s bond with Xu Yixue was extremely deep.

Now, although she had him as a father, with constant little accidents occurring around him and no gentle woman to tenderly care for her, it was no wonder Tongtong lamented meeting several pretty sisters today, yet longed to see her mother, Xu Yixue.

Only both a father and a mother could protect her for a lifetime.

Missing either one would cast a shadow over Tongtong’s childhood.

“How can I win over Yixue and ensure Tongtong has both a father’s and a mother’s love?” Xu Fan frowned, finding the thought headache-inducing.

In his past life, he might have been the Five-Direction Heavenly Emperor who roamed the Cultivation World for thousands of years, but he spent all his time immersed in cultivation, aiming to increase his strength, with no real experience in matters of the heart; he was, in essence, a blank slate.

Numerous fairies and ladies had offered themselves to him, and he, having declined them till his hands ached, had never needed to pursue someone actively. Let alone mastering modern techniques like being a bootlicker or PUA skills, he was completely clueless.

The plan to win over Xu Yixue suddenly left Xu Fan, dominant in the Cultivation World, feeling out of his depth.

Seeing Xu Fan with a worried look, Tongtong shook her little braids and said, “Daddy, what are you thinking about?”

“Daddy is thinking about your mommy,” Xu Fan answered naturally.

The “thinking” Xu Fan mentioned was one of fretful consideration, not one of longing and yearning.

Tongtong misunderstood and hearing that Xu Fan wanted to pursue Xu Yixue, immediately jumped three feet in the air, excitedly saying, “Tongtong misses Mommy too, let’s go find Mommy together.”

“Eh? Go find her now?” Tongtong’s suggestion made Xu Fan feel a bit awkward, after all, as the Five Directions Great Emperor who hadn’t dated in thousands of years, Xu Fan had never actively pursued a girl before.

“Daddy, don’t you like Mommy? Is she not pretty enough?” Tongtong pouted and asked Xu Fan with a huff.

Xu Fan thought silently about Xu Yixue’s appearance upon hearing this.

If human beauty could be rated out of ten, Xu Yixue would score at least a 9.5. Be it looks, temperament, or figure, hers were all top-notch, flawless. The only thing less than perfect was her coldness towards Xu Fan; whenever she saw him, her face would turn icy, making Xu Fan feel slightly uncomfortable.

Even in the Cultivation World, where everyone could undergo radical transformations to change their appearance, making everyone a handsome man or a beautiful woman, people with Xu Yixue’s looks were rare.

Changing one’s appearance was like face customization in a video game; it might be beautiful, but it lacked a certain charm. Yet someone like Xu Yixue, who was naturally imbued with Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth and beautiful beyond reproach, was exceedingly rare, even in the Cultivation World.

“Your mom is indeed quite beautiful,” Xu Fan considered for a moment, giving Tongtong an honest answer.

“Then if Mommy is so beautiful, does Daddy like her?” Tongtong persisted, asking Xu Fan once more.

“You little sly fox, where did you hear all these crazy things!” Xu Fan said somewhat helplessly, pinching Tongtong’s chubby cheek with a mixture of laughter and tears.

“Daddy just said he missed Mommy, and now you don’t want to admit you like her. If you lie to Tongtong, you’ll grow a long nose!” Tongtong wobbled her little head and lightly tapped Xu Fan’s handsome nose.

“Daddy, let’s go play with Mommy, please? You miss Mommy, Tongtong misses Mommy too, it would be wonderful for us to see Mommy together,” Tongtong burrowed into Xu Fan’s embrace, unleashing a barrage of coquettish tactics on him.

“Alright, let’s go then. It’s just a matter of seeing Xu Yixue, what’s so difficult about that.” Xu Fan picked up Tongtong and said carelessly to her.

“Dad, you’re really clueless, how can you only want to look at Mommy? Tongtong wants you to pursue her. Only after you win Mommy’s heart can we all live together as a family,” Tongtong said happily, wrapping her arms around Xu Fan’s, her face full of yearning.

“But your dad has no idea how to chase after a girl,” Xu Fan said, his mouth twitching.

“Tongtong will help Daddy. With our father-daughter bond, we can definitely win Mommy’s heart,” Little Tongtong stretched out her hand and placed it over Xu Fan’s, sealing the deal with a high-five full of ceremony.

“Okay, father and daughter united, we’ll get Xu Yixue,” Xu Fan gently said to Tongtong.

“Yay, soon Tongtong will be able to live with Mommy and Daddy together, hahaha,” Tongtong immediately burst into peals of laughter like a silver bell, gleefully wiggling about in Xu Fan’s embrace, with a face full of uncontrollable joy.

Watching Tongtong’s happiness, Xu Fan himself was suddenly filled with a surging sense of courage. What of Xu Yixue, he thought. Has Xu Fan, who has been renowned in the Cultivation World for so many years, ever faced something he couldn’t achieve?

Xu Yixue,

Even for my daughter’s sake, I will win you over, Xu Fan silently thought.
