Chapter 5: Moving Bricks to Provide for You (II)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fu Pei’s brows snapped together, and he noticed this little girl obsessed to call him ‘daddy’.

He straightened his body and maintained his cocky behavior. His lips curved upward, his presence emitted a frivolous aura. “Are you done with your role-playing, little girl? It’s getting dark soon. Go home, take a shower, and sleep. Stop daydreaming.”

The girl puffed her cheeks like a hamster, and her doe-like eyes looked like clear spring water that gleamed in bright light. “I’m not acting,” she asserted, albeit with a soft voice. “You’re really my dad, and I’m your daughter from the future. I was sent back to the time when you’re just a student.”

Xie Tiao, who was next to Fu Pei, heard this and almost choked to death. Damn! Did she make these past and future life stories up? What creativity!

Fu Pei’s expression conveyed a silent message that implied she was absolutely mental. His dark, deep eyes were layered with an icy disposition. “Don’t use the skills that you used to fool the police on me,” Fu Pei spoke with indifference. “Do I look like someone with an undeveloped brain?”

Upset, Fu Ting feebly replied, “I’m only telling the truth…”

The young boy’s sharp eyes narrowed slightly. Cold was his glance toward her, and furious was his expression. “Let me repeat myself. Stop pestering me, or I’ll really whack you!”

Fu Ting whispered, “You’re no fighting match for me.”

Fu Pei was silent.

Damn it all!

“Brother Fu, don’t be so mean. After all, Master Ting helped us back there.” Xie Tiao could not bear to see Fu Pei’s words shatter the little fairy’s clean and translucent eyes. His heart became utterly weak. He wished to bring the whole world to her and let her have whatever she wanted.

This was the weakness of someone who attached great importance to beauty.

“What? Do you feel sorry for her?” Fu Pei replied snarkily. “You provide for her, then!”

Xie Tiao fell mute in an instant.

Well, without considering Master Ting’s fighting skills, he appreciated her loveliness that was akin to a little fairy. He could give up his life in return for her cute and lovely smile. Who would not want to provide for her?

Nonetheless, the glare he received from Fu Pei told him he would be dead if he would actually provide for her.

Xie Tiao wished that Fu Pei would take Fu Ting in, but he then thought of Fu Pei’s terrible family conditions… It was better to not abuse the little fairy!

He kept a hard-hearted look and turned his face away. “I have something to do at home. I’ll go first.”

Fu Ting walked slowly before Fu Pei and looked at him with hopeful eyes.

The girl had a small and thin frame. Her exquisite and beautiful face reflected the youthful spirit of her age, her white teeth bit her juicy pomelo-colored lips, and she looked extremely pitiful…

Irritation welled in Fu Pei ‘s heart as he raised his hand to touch the black ear stud on his left ear. With an unreadable expression, he spoke unhurriedly, “Fool, do you really want to follow me?”

As he spoke, the teenager seemed to feel a little cold so his hands tightened his tie. His whole being screamed ‘troublemaker’, and it made him seem provocative.

Fu Ting nodded her head vigorously and hummed as a short reply.

‘You’re my dad. Who else will I follow?’

Fu Pei’s Adam’s apple bobbed a little. He considered it for a few seconds, then his thin lips quirked into a very minute smile. “Alright. Come with me.”

Fu Ting’s fair face instantly had a sunny and bright smile, just like a beautiful lily. “I knew Daddy wouldn’t abandon me.”

Fu Ting held onto Fu Pei’s arm naturally as she said it.

Fu Pei lowered his eyes and looked at her as he arrogantly raised his brows. His reflex reaction was to pull his arm away from the girl, but as he saw the girl’s eyes that resembled a colored glaze…

Forget it! He would not haggle over a small issue with an idiot.

Tight-lipped, he allowed the little girl’s hold on his arm and walked.

…

During the three years after Fu Pei’s death, Fu Ting had investigated her father’s past thoroughly to clear his name, thus she knew his address by heart.

The first thing she noted was that they were not walking in the direction she remembered. The next thing she noticed was they were approaching a large building. Puzzled, she asked, “Dad, are you living in such a big house as a teenager?”

Why was it different from the information she had thoroughly researched?

Did her father buy a house without her knowing?

Fu Pei raised his chin. “Open your eyes and take a good look.”

Fu Ting took a few steps further, and she saw the signboard—Qingshan Hospital!

That was a well-known mental hospital in Hai City!
