Chapter 15: Meng Ke’s Response

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Wait here for a moment, please.” As Qin Feng passed by a supermarket for children, he asked the taxi driver to pull over. He had just caught sight of the building blocks for children placed at the window.

The set of building blocks, which was worth around 10 yuan, had struck his heart again. One week ago when Meng Ke got Nannan home from kindergarten, the little girl cried for half a night on the sofa.

She had spotted this set of building blocks with Pleasant Goat as the cover and wanted to have it. But Meng Ke refused to buy it for her. Well, it was not her fault. They were barely surviving themselves. Although Meng Ke was paid well monthly, the salary was mostly used to pay off his debt and make the ends meet for the family. She was very cautious about money-spending.

Qing Feng couldn’t forget What Nannan had said in tears. “Daddy and Mommy, why can’t I have the toys the other children have?”

“Hehe.” Qin Feng smiled bitterly and felt like slapping himself. He came to the window and stared at the building blocks.

At that time, he was in deep distress. Despite hearing Nannan’s cries, nothing stirred inside his heart.

Only now did he remember that when Nannan was weeping sadly, Meng Ke cried too. The mother and daughter cuddled each other as Meng Ke kept apologizing to her daughter.

Replaying the scene in his mind, the tears of the mother and the daughter were like a sharp dagger that kept stabbing Qin Feng’s heart.

He was a man—a strong, healthy man—yet he had become such trash. Most importantly, he had made his family members, the most important people in the world for him, cry over a set of building blocks that cost only a few pennies.

“If I buy this for Nannan, the two of them should be very happy,” Qin Feng mumbled to himself. Without any hesitation, he walked into the supermarket and picked the building blocks before coming to the counter.

He paid the bill and returned home in the taxi, only to find that Nannan was cuddled on the sofa alone.

For a moment, Qin Feng’s heart sank. A terrible feeling rose in him as he asked, “Nannan, where is Mommy?”

“I don’t know, Daddy!” Nannan looked up and shook her head. Then she burst into tears again. “Daddy, I thought you were leaving us, ooohhhh!”

His daughter was shedding tears of sadness. Qin Feng felt his heart tighten. Without any second thought, he hugged Nannan and consoled her, “Don’t cry, baby, we adore you the most. We love you above all. We’re not leaving you!”

“Look at what I got for you!” Qin Feng smiled and showed the building blocks he had hidden behind his back.

She was a child, after all. The moment she saw the building blocks with Pleasant Goat on the cover, Nannan’s eyes brightened. She smiled and said happily, “Oh, you bought me the building blocks with Pleasant Goat! I love it. Thank you, Daddy, thank you!”

Nannan was so excited that she embraced Qin Feng’s neck and kissed him right on the cheek. Happiness covered her face as she held the box of building blocks tightly.

At that moment, there came a sound of ticking. Meng Ke was sanding at the doorsteps. She had no expression on her face, and her eyes reflected resolution.

She had made up her mind. She was going to get divorced and refused to believe whatever promises Qin Feng had made to her. In her opinion, she was divorcing not for herself but for Nannan. She wanted to provide her with a better living environment.

And a moment ago, she had just been to the law firm..
