Chapter 1062: Chapter 1062: The Death of Ye Si (2)

Ye Qilan couldn’t bear to part with his child and embraced her again.

He didn’t know when he would return, if ever; the unease of the past few days seemed to be coming true one by one. If he couldn’t make it back this time, he would never see his adorable, innocent little daughter again, nor would he be able to watch her grow up.

A thousand times reluctant, ten thousand times reluctant–these were still not enough to describe how he felt at this moment.

He kissed Little Pudding’s face fiercely several times before he steeled his heart and handed her over to Age.

But Little Pudding clung to him, refusing to let go. She slapped Age’s hands away, “I don’t want Uncle Gezi, I want Daddy, I want Daddy…”

Age looked at Ye Qilan helplessly, clearly noticing that something was off with his emotions, and even Little Pudding must have sensed it too. Why else would she refuse to be separated from Ye Qilan?

“Ye Xiaobu, listen to Daddy and let your Uncle Gezi hold you.” Ye Qilan forcibly pried Little Pudding’s hands away and stuffed the child into Age’s arms.

Age held the heartbroken child tightly, feeling anxious, “I want to go with Master.”

Even if it meant death, he wanted to die with Ye Qilan.

“If you get into trouble too, who will take care of Amou and the children in the future?” Ye Qilan glanced at his wristwatch; it was almost time.

“I want Daddy…” Little Pudding suddenly panicked and started to cry loudly, lunging toward Ye Qilan.

This time, Ye Qilan hardened his heart and didn’t look back at his child.

He glanced at his wristwatch again, “Age, do you remember? You gave me this watch.”

Age was utterly confused by this statement. When had he ever given Ye Qilan a wristwatch? He had no recollection of this.

In the midst of his bewilderment, Little Pudding was crying out for her father. The child, usually so cheerful and seldom crying, was now wailing so terribly that it seemed to shake the earth, “Daddy, I want to be with Daddy, I want my Daddy…”

She hit Age’s face hard, trying to break free from his embrace, but no matter how strong a child is, they cannot overcome an adult’s strength.

Ye Qilan’s heart ached fiercely, but he did not look at the ceaselessly wailing Little Pudding, “I entrust the child to you. Take good care of her. I’m leaving.”

He turned and walked away, as the cries of Little Pudding echoed behind him, “Daddy, Daddy–”

Her crying was shrill and piercing, and Ye Qilan felt as if his heart were being stabbed, but he dared not turn back.

A distracted Fu Yan heard that Little Pudding was throwing a tantrum and rushed over, only to see Age standing in the office, lost and confused, holding the endlessly crying Little Pudding, with Ye Qilan nowhere to be found.

“Where’s Ye Si?” Fu Yan’s heart sank.

Had it happened just as he feared? Had Ye Qilan received news about Su Hongxing, and Liu Yuan demanded Ye Qilan go alone?

“The master might have gone to rescue Miss Su. He told me not to follow and asked me to take good care of the young miss,” Age said, standing there without direction for the first time in his life.

“Daddy, Daddy doesn’t want me, I want Daddy, I want Daddy…” Little Pudding cried miserably, her pitiful eyes looking up at Fu Yan.

Fu Yan took the child and soothed her in a gentle voice, “How could Daddy not want our adorable Little Pudding? Don’t say such silly things. You have to be good, be obedient, so Daddy can finish his work and come back as soon as possible.”

Little Pudding nodded vigorously but continued to weep silently, thinking that not crying was a sign of being good.

Seeing how well-behaved and clever Little Pudding was, Fu Yan felt very sad too.

The words Ye Qilan said before he left made him feel very uneasy. Was he really leaving his last words?
