"Dad, I have only seen you in photos before, but now I finally see you in person."
Duoduo said in a milky voice.
She threw herself into Li Xuan's arms, looking happy.
Her little hands grasped Li Xuan's shirt tightly, as if she was afraid that the father who appeared in front of her for the first time would leave her again.
At this moment, Li Xuan's nose became sore.
After three hundred years of traveling across the Star Territory, the ruthless Emperor Li Chi burst into tears for the first time.
He gently touched Duoduo's hair and said softly: "Duoduo, can we go home? Dad will be by your side from now on."
"Really?"
Duoduo raised her head, her big eyes were like stars, full of joy.
"Of course, dad will not lie to Duoduo."
Li Xuan couldn't help but pinch her round little face full of collagen.
Duoduo couldn't help but sniffed.
"Humph, dad bullied Duoduo."
She pouted, and although she pretended to be angry, she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.
"By the way, Duoduo, where is your mother?"
When Li Xuan asked this question, his voice was trembling.
My wife is no longer in this city, leaving only a daughter.
"Mom? I've only seen her in photos."
Duoduo's expression became a little sad, and round tears were about to fall from her eyes.
Li Xuan couldn't help but feel distressed.
It seems that Meng Qingqian is not in Duoduo's memory.
Meng Qingqian should have left before Duoduo was three years old, otherwise the four-year-old child would not have any memory.
"Don't cry Duoduo, daddy will be here from now on."
Li Xuan wiped the tears from Duoduo's face.
"Okay, Dad."
The next moment, Duoduo burst into tears and laughed.
"Dad, let's go home."
Duoduo's chubby little hands tightly grasped Li Xuan's index finger and pulled Li Xuan forward.
"Aunt Lu Qi said that kindergarten will start in a few days, so I went to the street to pick up some empty bottles and sell them to raise some tuition."
"Aunt Lu Qi is not my mother, so I can't always use her money."
"Lu Qi?"
Li Xuan remembered that Lu Qi was Meng Qingqian's best friend, and they had a very good relationship. No wonder Xiao Duoduo didn't have her mother to take care of her, but her clothes were clean. It turned out to be like this.
Li Xuan's nose became sore again when he thought about his daughter having to pick up bottles on the street to earn her own tuition at a young age.
"Don't worry, now that dad is back, he will take care of you from now on. You will become the happiest little princess in the world."
Li Xuan touched Duoduo's head and said softly.
The two returned home and opened the old iron door. The house was clean and tidy.
On a table, there was a photo of Li Xuan and Meng Qingqian.
In the photo, Meng Qingqian has long flowing hair, but Li Xuan looks slightly haggard.
It was the most decadent days when Li Xuan's family was bankrupt.
"Dad, sit down and I'll pour some water for him."
Duoduo was like a little grown-up, busy since Li Xuan entered the house.
After pouring water for Li Xuan, he placed her fairy tale book on the coffee table.
"Dad, let's read a storybook together."
As he spoke, he opened it carefully.
Wanted to share her favorite things with her dad.
Think about other children. At this age, they have countless stuffed toys, dolls, and other toys, but Duoduo only has a yellowed fairy tale book.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
"It's Aunt Lu Qi who's back."
Duoduo immediately jumped to open the door.
Sure enough, when the door opened, a beautiful figure stood in front of it.
"Duoduo, did you disobey auntie and pick up the bottle again?"
Halfway through Lu Qi's words, he saw Li Xuan standing behind Duo Duo and was stunned on the spot.
"Li, Li Xuan, why are you back?"
Lu Qi's brows furrowed slightly, and there was misunderstanding in his eyes, as well as a bit of dissatisfaction.
"Aunt Lu Qi, dad is back. There was a fat woman on the road who wanted to kidnap Duo Duo, but dad beat them away."
Duoduo held Lu Qi's hand and told her what happened.
Lu Qi, on the other hand, looked at Li Xuan coldly.
"Five years, where have you been in the past five years? Did you run back because you couldn't eat outside?"
Li Xuan knew that Lu Qi must have many misunderstandings about him, but he didn't know how to defend himself. After all, his experience was too bizarre.
"I had some accidents and I didn't have the ability to come back until today."
Lu Qi's eyes were cold, but seeing Duoduo's pitiful and delicate look, she couldn't help but feel soft.
"After you disappeared, Qing Qian gave birth to Duoduo not long after. When Duoduo was two years old, one day she asked me to help take care of Duoduo, saying that someone asked her out, and she hasn't been heard from since."
"I have been taking care of Duoduo for the past three years. Now that you are back, no matter where you have been in the past five years, I hope you can take on the responsibility of a man and be nice to Duoduo."
"Don't worry, Duoduo is my daughter, I will definitely treat her well." Li Xuan nodded.
"It's you, thank you for taking care of Duoduo."
"snort!"
Lu Qi snorted coldly, obviously not appreciating it.
After she entered the house, she walked into the kitchen very skillfully, put on an apron and started cooking.
"Duoduo, how about auntie cooking fish for you today?"
"Yeah."
Duoduo clapped her little hands.
"I love Aunt Lu Qi's fish the most."
Soon, the aroma wafted from the kitchen.
Duoduo, on the other hand, sucked her fingers and her saliva was almost drooling.
Lu Qi's family is not rich either. Both her parents are laid-off workers and she has a younger brother who is going to school. Most of the money she earns from working goes to support her family.
In addition, Duoduo had to pay tuition and cook, so life was very tight.
After the fish was served, Duoduo couldn't wait to serve the rice.
When she was serving rice for herself, she didn't forget to serve a bowl for each of Lu Qi and Li Xuan. She was so sensible and heart-warming.
After receiving Lu Qi's nod, he immediately stretched out his chopsticks and started eating.
"Why are you standing there? You should eat too."
Although Lu Qi dislikes Li Xuan, she is kind-hearted in nature.
"good."
Li Xuan picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth.
Suddenly, a strange feeling arose in my heart.
This is what home tastes like.
The world of immortality has been bloody for three hundred years, but he has never felt a sense of belonging.
After eating, Lu Qi washed the dishes and then left.
She has been living with Duoduo for the past three years. Now that Li Xuan is back, she has decided to move back to her own home. After all, it is not suitable for a man and a woman alone.
Li Xuan found that Lu Qi was a little absent-minded from beginning to end.
She has something on her mind.
Li Xuan sent Lu Qi downstairs and suddenly said: "Lu Qi, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me."
Hearing this, Lu Qi couldn't help but tremble. After her body paused for a few seconds, she walked forward without looking back.
Li Xuan was about to return home when he heard an old couple discussing in low voices not far away.
"What a good girl. She wears the same clothes for two years and doesn't want to change them, but she buys clothes for the little girl every now and then."
"Yeah, it's a pity that such a beautiful girl wants to marry that bastard He Jinchao. God is really blind."
"I heard that He Jinchao is not only very romantic, but also likes to beat women. The last time the female star broke out, he hung her up and beat her!"
"Uncle and aunt, can I ask Lu Qi what's going on?"
Li Xuan suddenly spoke, startling both the uncle and the aunt.
"Who are you?"
The couple looked at Li Xuan warily.
"I am Duoduo's father. I just came back. Can you tell me about Lu Qi?"
"Are you the irresponsible father?"
There was a bit of disgust in the aunt's eyes.
The uncle next to him was not as obvious as the aunt, but his attitude was a bit colder. He said: "Lu Qi has been spotted by the eldest son of the He family. He wants to marry her by force. He threatens her with her family. Tomorrow, Lu Qi will marry the eldest son of the He family." Engaged.”
"He Jinchao?"
Li Xuan's eyes instantly turned cold.
The He family is also a well-known family in Chuzhou, similar to the Feng family.
Before the Li family went bankrupt, He Jinchao did all kinds of evil. He didn't expect that he would now target Lu Qi. He deserved it.
When the old couple next to them saw Li Xuan's appearance, they were so frightened that they quickly ran away and whispered: "This young man is so talkative. Is there something wrong with his brain?"
