Yibo saw Fei standing still and pushed Zixuan away. The latter was a little embarrassed.
“Sweetie, come here. Let me introduce Zixuan to you.” Yibo waved at Fei.
Fei soon returned to normal. With a bright smile on her pretty face, she ran over and took Yibo’s hand. “Dad, look. Rovena took me shopping, and we bought a lot of books.”
Fei called Yibo “dad” so clearly that Zixuan felt uncomfortable.
She wasn’t shocked because she heard from Zoe that Yibo married a man who had a child. Although Yibo was sure that this child was his, she suspected that she wasn’t Yibo’s biological daughter just like Mr. Wang.
Zixuan was angrier when she thought of this. Yibo was willing to accept and marry a man with a child… what kind of magic power did this man have that made Yibo so “submissive”!
She felt bad for Yibo and herself! So she had to meet and get to know this man!
“I’m happy as long as you like them.” Yibo touched the top of her hair. “Sweetie, this is—“
“Dad, I really like this Can you teach me how to read. There are a lot of words in it that I don’t know.” Fei immediately took out the book for Yibo to see.
“This is Zixuan, How about I ask her to teach you how to read?” Yibo wanted to bring the two of them closer. “Zixuan, this is my daughter, Fei.”
“Fei is so cute.” Zixuan’s smile deepened. “Can you let me teach you?”
“Dad, I don’t think we should bother Zixuan with something like this. She’s an outsider after all.” Fei smiled at Zixuan but already categorized Zixuan as a vixen who seduced her dad.
“Zixuan is also considered to be dad’s younger sister. Not an outsider.”
“But to Fei, everyone except dad and mom is an outsider. Only the three of us are a family.” Fei said with a serious face.
There is no way that a vixen like you is going to seduce dad when mom isn’t here!
With Fei here, you definitely won’t succeed.
Hearing what Fei said, Zixuan, standing next to Fei, was so embarrassed that she couldn’t keep the smile on her face. Zixuan and Yibo were both sensitive, and they could sense Fei’s hostility toward Zixuan.
Yibo squatted down and took Fei’s hand. “Daddy grew up with Auntie Zixuan. She’s like my own sister, so it is fine to call her Aunt.”
“Dad, since you grew up with her, I think it is fine to call her sister.” Fei deliberately treated Zixuan as her generation, so that she would separate Zixuan and her dad, “Dad, look how young sister Zixuan is. It sounds too old to call her aunt.”
Yibo felt helpless about Fei, and said, “You are…”
Fei was just a child, and it wasn’t surprised that she cared about much.
Fei didn’t care about what her dad said, “What’s wrong with me?”
Her innocent eyes rolled, as if to say, “Did I interrupt you two?”
Yibo pinched her tiny nose and said softly, “Go over the couch and read.”
Fei, of course, was unwilling to do so, “Daddy, does mom know sister Zixuan?”
Zixuan answered, “I just came back from abroad and missed your father so much, so I came from Beijing to Chongqing to see your father. Your father and I have known each other since we were kids, and we had been close. We are like family, so you and I are family.”
“You and I are unrelated by blood; how can you be my family?” Any woman who wanted to be with her father was her mother’s rival in love and her enemy. Fei answered back, “Family should have blood relations, shouldn’t it?”
“Fei, your father and mother don’t have blood relations, are they family?” Zixuan was displeased by the little girl who went against her, so she said it on purpose.
Zixuan thought this would leave Fei speechless, but Fei disappointed her.
The little retorted, “They’re not related by blood, but they’re legally related, and they’re lovers. And what about you? You are related by law or by blood?”
Fei’s big black and white eyes lit up with a sweet smile.
Who could have thought that this five-year-old girl would be so articulate as to answer Zixuan back, and left her embarrassed?
Zixuan was speechless for a moment. She gritted her teeth, and couldn’t imagine how she was embarrassed by a five-year-old girl. She took deep breaths to calm herself down, “I’m not related to your father by law or by blood, but I am family in his heart, and that’s enough.”
The people in heart were the most important. Zixuan got a nice shot.
“My father’s heart is full of my mother and me, and there is no room for you, sister, so don’t cry.” Fei stretched out her hand and asked, “Dad, you love me and mom most, don’t you?”
“Yes, I love you and your mother most.” Yibo answered Fei’s question, implied to tell Zixuan that they were not kids anymore.
Zixuan knew what Yibo meant, and she was very sad about his directness.
But she didn’t want to let it go. They’d grown together, and she did not believe that Yibo would be so ruthless to her.
As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would not give up, even if she had to wait forever.
“Mom and I love Dad the most, too.” Fei answered Yibo.
Yibo smiled. He thought the baby was really cute. Fei did not care about Zixuan, and obediently sat down on the sofa to read.
“Fei is just a kid,” Yibo told Zixuan, “what she said was unintentional, so don’t take it to your heart. But what I’m trying to say is that what she has said is true. There are only Fei and Zhan in my heart, and our long-term relationship is based on being brother and sister. Zixuan, you have to understand that I’m married, and have a wife and a daughter.”
“Brother Yibo, I got it.” Zixuan could only put the things off, and pretended to be sensible so that Yibo wouldn’t find her annoyed.
Only by maintaining this good relationship could she get close to him, or she would never see him again.
Yibo was pleased, “It’s great.”
“You promised to invite me to dinner. Don’t go back on it.” Zixuan reminded him, “I came to Chongqing to see you, and you can’t leave me alone.”
“Yes.” When Yibo saw that she gave in, he couldn’t refuse her request.
“Well, just go to work. I won’t bother you. I’ve asked Zoe out. She’s waiting for me in the cafe downstairs.” Zixuan didn’t want to be with Fei, but if Yibo was the only one in the office, she would be happy to stay there.
“Go ahead. Be careful.” Yibo said.
“Zoe and I are not kids anymore. You don’t need to worry about it. Just get back to work. Zoe and I will be back before you leave work.” Zixuan waved to Yibo and left.
Yibo saw that the office door was closed and then he glanced at Fei, who was reading quietly on the sofa. He walked over and sat down next to Fei.
While he was trying to figure out what to say, Fei put down her book and said to Yibo, “Daddy, I don’t like that sister.”
“Dad can’t stop you like or dislike a person, but we should behave ourselves. That aunt is the father’s sister, and you are the junior, so you should respect her. This is the most basic quality of children.” Yibo was a little more serious now, hoping that Fei could understand he was speaking for her good.
As his daughter, Fei naturally was very noble and should be pampered and brought up like a little princess. However, it did not mean that she could be willful and arrogant. She should act like a child when she was a child.
He would not object to her unless she was old enough to stand up to everyone in her own right, but now she should behave herself when she was a kid.
He would never let anyone bully his daughter, of course. Otherwise, he would never be merciful.
Fei pouted her lips slightly. Of course, she knew that she didn’t respect Zixuan at all just now, and that she was too aggressive. But when she thought that Zixuan was going to take over her father from her mother, she couldn’t help but hate her.
“Dad, I know, but that aunt can only see you. She must like you very much… I’m afraid she’ll take you away. I’m afraid you won’t want us, I can’t let my mother be wronged or hurt. I did it to protect my mother and me, and I don’t think I did anything wrong.” Fei insisted on her idea.
Yibo signed. Of course he knew Fei was worried about her mother.
“Dad has always treated that aunt as a sister. What you thought are not going to happen. Unless your mother and you don’t want me, otherwise I would not leave you.” Yibo assured her, “Besides, in your eyes, is your dad easy to be taken away and easy to be tempted away?”
“Dad, I believe in you, but sometimes the temptress’s tricks are very powerful. Even the most powerful are not careful sometimes. What if you were to be tricked?” Fei was still worried. “I don’t trust her.”
“…”
Yibo was speechless after hearing what Fei said, “Who taught you that?”
Shouldn’t a child’s world be simple? Why was Fei’ world so complicated, like she knew everything?
“No one taught me. I knew that because I have seen and heard many things about that.” Fei sounded like a grown-up. “When I was in kindergarten at Tianjin, I saw a kid in my class who wouldn’t let her new mom pick her up. She said that woman was a temptress, and seduced her father, and gave birth to a younger brother. And that was why her father and mother were separated. She hated that woman.”
“Daddy, auntie Zixuan wants to be my new mother too, and I can’t agree to this and I won’t accept it! My only mother is Zhan.”
“Daddy promises it wouldn’t happen, and you only have one mother and that is Zhan.” Yibo calmed her.
“Dad, you must not be tempted by that woman! I do not want dad and mom to separate. I do not want to be like that child…” Fei was very insecure.
Yibo took Fei in his arms and held her by the shoulders. “Don’t think too much and don’t talk nonsense. You have to trust dad. Aunt Zixuan and father grew up together. If dad liked her, I wouldn’t have waited until after I married your mom. The only person dad is going to spend the rest of his life with is your mom.”
“Dad, I love you.” Fei’s little hand gripped Yibo’s shirt.
“Daddy loves you, too.” Yibo bent his head and kissed Fei on the forehead.
After he had a talk with Fei, Yibo started to work. He was very busy with his work, having many files to check and many decisions to make.
They had lunch in the office. Rovena ordered the nutritious meal for Fei, and the regular meal for Yibo.
“It’s delicious.” Fei put a mouthful of food into her mouth and looked at Yibo with smiling eyes. At that moment, Fei looked like a real child.
Yibo said, “If you like it, dad will have the food delivered to your kindergarten every day.”
“No, the kindergarten’s food is good, too. Besides, we have paid the money. We can’t waste it.” Fei was a frugal child. “Mom and dad work very hard to earn money,”
Yibo’s lips curved and he said, “Well, finish it quickly.”
Fei ate happily. Looking at Fei, Yibo had a good appetite.
Yibo accompanied Fei to read during the lunch break. Later, he had to attend an important meeting, so he left Fei alone in the office.
Yibo told Rovena to ask someone to keep an eye on Fei and pay special attention to her safety.
Rovena then gave the task to another secretary in the General Secretarial Office.
***
But they did not expect that Zixuan and Zoe came to look for Yibo at 3 o’clock.
They had just gone shopping and bought a lot of things. Now they were both tired, and they wanted to have a rest in Yibo’s office.
Zixuan and Zoe didn’t realize that Fei was the only one in the office.
Thinking of being angered by this young girl before, Zixuan didn’t think she had to pretend to be good when Yibo wasn’t here.
It was the first time Zoe met Fei, and her first reaction was that Fei looked like Zhan.
She whispered to Zixuan, “I didn’t know that man has a cute daughter.”
“Don’t be fooled by her appearance; she has a gift of the gab.” Zixuan was also fooled by her angelic face. So, you couldn’t judge a book by its cover; otherwise, you would suffer a lot.
“Really?” Zoe couldn’t believe that a child could be so glib that she made Zixuan speechless.
“I’ve just told you. If you don’t believe me, try it.” Zixuan sat downgracefully.
Zoe sat down and looked at Fei, “Baby, is your mother Zhan?”
Fei was quietly reading a book, not intending to talk to them, but now that they had taken the initiative to speak to her, she would not be polite.
“I have to know who you are before answering your question.” Fei wanted to know who the woman with Zixuan was, what the woman’s relationship was to her, and what her relationship was to Dad.
“I’m Yibo’s sister Zhou Zoe.” Zoe introduced herself.
“Another sister? How many sisters does my father have?” Fei put the book down again and looked at Zoe with suspicion. “Why don’t all my father’s sisters have the surname Wang? You’re not my father’s real sisters, are you?”
Fei thought she was just another temptress trying to seduce her father.
“We are not Brother Yibo’s sisters, but are you his real daughter?” Zixuan snorted, “The pot calls the kettle black… Oh, no, at least Brother Yibo and I have known each other since childhood, and Zoe is his sister. We spent much time together, not like you, who just met him for so short.”
“Are you jealous that I have no blood relation with my father, but he still loves me and spoils me?” Fei was not angered by Zixuan’s. words. “I am like his real daughter in his heart.”
“So you are not my brother’s real daughter!” Zoe got an important message, “My brother lied to my father that you are his own daughter and have the blood of the Wang family! I must tell father about it, or he will still be in the dark.”
After seeing Zoe say such words angrily, Fei suddenly felt very upset. She must have said something wrong to make her so angry. She even complained to her father’s father.
She would have gotten her father into trouble. She couldn’t get him blamed for her.
Fei got up from the sofa and walked over to Zoe, saying cutely, “You are my father’s sister, so I should call you aunt.”
“You are not my brother’s own daughter, and you are not worthy to call me aunt!” Zoe was very angry right now.
“Then you are not my father’s full sister, why can you call him brother?” Fei asked her back.
Zoe was speechless, and her face turned red. “You did have a gift of the gab! Did you learn that from your mother? Are you going to be rude to your seniors?”
“This has nothing to do with my mother!” Fei hated that people always blame her mother. “Because you are my father’s sister, I would like to call you ‘aunt’. That is the best respect and politeness for you.”
“Polite? Are you kidding?” Zoe said coolly.
“You can ask Miss Qiu. She also said that she is my father’s sister. My father asked me to call her ‘aunt’, but I didn’t. Am I not respecting you by calling you aunt?” Fei spoke with a smile.
As the saying goes, no one would hit a smiling face. Zoe didn’t get angry for hearing what Fei said, but Zixuan, who was involved, looked gloomy.
“If you weren’t Yibo’s real daughter, I wouldn’t have given you a second look. Don’t have a sense of superiority. It’s just for Yibo’s sake. You and your mother will be nothing after you leave Yibo!” Zixuan hit the nail on the head and looked at Fei dismissively.
“We’re not going to leave my father, and we’re not going to let the temptresses like you take my father.” Fei was not going to get angry.
“Stop being righteous, Zixuan and my brother grew up together since childhood and they were meant for each other. Zixuan went abroad for further study, and your mother came out of nowhere to snatch Yibo! Your mother is the temptress!” Zoe vented all her anger out on the kid.
“My mother is not a temptress! So what if they grew up together? That is because my father doesn’t love Zixuan so they aren’t together! My father loves my mother so he married him.” Fei made the point. “Don’t think that just because I’m a child, you can bully me! At least I can tell whether one loves or does not love the other!”
“Love? Your mother lies to us. We don’t know how he seduced my brother and cheated him that you are his own daughter, so as to force Mr. Wang to accept you! Your mother loves money so he will hold on to my brother! You are nothing but liars! I will not let my brother and my family deceived by you forever!” Zoe was determined. “You don’t deserve to talk about love!”
“It’s you who don’t deserve it!” Fei answered back.
“Zoe, how could we let this girl stay in the Wang family? The Wang family becomes a laughing stock if the news spreads out.” Zixuan added, “I think you need to tell Mr. Qiren right now.”
“Yes, I can’t stand the disgusting liars for one minute!” Zoe stood up, took out her cell phone and started to call Wang Qiren.
Fei shouted, “We are not liars. Don’t you talk nonsense!”
“You’re not my brother’s daughter at all. Isn’t that a lie?” Zoe didn’t like Zhan at first, but now that she knew that the child was not Yibo’s, she hated Zhan even more.
“I said we are not liars!!”
“I don’t care.” Zoe turned her back on Fei. “Dad, there’s something I need to tell you…”
“You can’t tell.” Fei was a little worried. “Even if to make things clear, it should be dad who should make it clear, not you!”
“My elder brother will only cover up for you, but I won’t. I can’t let my dad get cheated!” Zoe insisted and went on to tell Qiren, “Zhan’s daughter is not brother Yibo’s daughter…”
Fei made a bold move by reaching out and tugging at Zoe’s wrist. “I won’t let you tell on Dad! You can’t do this!”
Zoe looked back at Fei, who was clinging to her wrist. Her large, grape-like eyes were ablaze with rage.
Zoe put away her cell phone and looked at Fei holding her little hand. She was disgusted, “Don’t touch me. It’s so dirty!”
After that, she wanted to throw her off, but she was held tightly by Fei, “Call back to say you were talking nonsense!”
“You’re sick!” Angrily, Zoe gave Fei a shove and pulled back her hand.
Fei was just a child. How could she have such strength as an adult had? Being shoved by Zoe, Fei fell back and hit her forehead against the corner of the coffee table, and then her tiny body fell onto the carpet.
“What a bad luck to meet the mother and daughter.” Zoe reached over and rubbed the wrist Fei had just grabbed.
Zixuan handed Zoe a glass of water. “Don’t take them to heart. It was not worth it.”
Zoe took the water and sat down, but she saw Fei lying there motionless. “The little girl hasn’t gotten up. What’s wrong with her?”
“Will it be all right?” Zixuan stared at the small, motionless figure. “I think she just bumped into the coffee table.”
“Impossible, I didn’t push her too hard.” Zoe clutched her water glass in her hand. “It’s fine, right?”
“Let’s check.” Zixuan said.
Zoe pressed her lips, looking reluctant.
“I’m with you.” Zixuan said.
And then they got up and walked a couple of steps closer to Fei, and they could see that the flowers pattern on the gray carpet was covered with blood and it stood out so brightly against the gray.
And the bright red blood color stimulated Zoe’s and Zixuan’s hearts.
Zoe grabbed Zixuan’s hand and took two terrified steps back, breathing deeply, “Zixuan… What can we do now? The second brother cares so much about this little girl. Would he… hit me?”
“Don’t panic, Calm down.” Zixuan clenched her cold fingers. “We’ll say it was an accident. We have nothing to do with it. And there are only two of us in the office. As long as we speak the same, Yibo can’t do anything to you without evidence.”
“But the little girl will tell him, and when she tells the truth, my brother will believe her.” Zoe wrung her eyebrows and dared not imagine how angry Yibo was going to be.
“She hasn’t got any proof, has she?”
Zixuan was right. Fei had no evidence even she told the truth, but Zoe was still worried.
“Even if we don’t have proof, my brother will believe her.” Zoe thought.
Since she joined the Wang family, although she called Yibo brother affectionately, he never treated her as a real sister, even worse than Zixuan.
At least when he was younger, Yibo cared about Zixuan and treated her like a sister, which was better than Zoe, a stepsister.
Although she was jealous, she was still a good friend with Zixuan. Her love for Yibo could only be kept in the bottom of her heart. If Zixuan found out about it, they would be rivals in love.
And she didn’t want to lose Zixuan, her good friend, because Zixuan had helped her not to be bullied by others and spoke nice of her in front of Yibo.
Their friendship was real. She knew that she was not as good as Zixuan in all aspects, and it was impossible for her to be with Yibo, so she chose to be his friend.
“Are neither of us more important than she, a little child? She is just a stepdaughter without blood relationship with him.” Zixuan comforted Zoe, who looked nervous, “Don’t be scared.”
“Zixuan, you don’t know how Yibo pampers Zhan. For him, he didn’t even hesitate to lie to my father that this child is his own daughter. He could even mix the blood relation of the Wang family. Why would he be so in love with Zhan?” Zoe was very angry about what had happened. Her eyes fell on Fei. “if she tells on me, Yibo won’t suspect it. I’m really done…”
“I just shook my hand and I didn’t know she’d get hurt… Zixuan, you know I didn’t mean to do that. I didn’t mean to hurt her. Yibo will kill me.”
“I see. Don’t worry.” Zixuan’s face was also grim. She looked at the blood on the carpet and thought, “There’s only one way to keep her quiet.”
“What?” Zoe clutched Zixuan’s hand tighter, as if she were her savior.
“Shut her mouth forever.” Zixuan offered a solution.
“What do you mean…” Zoe was afraid to think further.
“Only a dead person cannot speak.” Zixuan had a fierce look in her eye.
Zoe’s heart was cool. She trembled with terror.
“To kill… kill her?” Zoe’s voice was trembling.
