Chapter 10 - The child's mother attacked …

Of course, the yellow skin, black eyes and black hair of Meng Meng were all inherited from Zhang Han…

Eh…

Alright, to tell the truth, the only things similar between Zhang Han and Meng Meng were the eyebrows and earlobe. Zhang Han realized this after he had observed Meng Meng.

Zi Yan’s earlobe was much thinner, whereas Zhang Han’s and Meng Meng’s earlobe were rounder.

Also, aside from having a delicate face, Zi Yan’s figure was also very curvy; she possessed a devil’s S-shape figure.

Zi Yan was now plumper and rounder than when she just started her career. Right now, there was a kind of magic in Zi Yan’s body pulling in Zhang Han’s gaze. He couldn’t help but gulp in the presence of his child’s mother.

While Zhang Han was sizing Zi Yan up and down, Zi Yan was also sizing Zhang Han up and down.

Seeing the trace of desire in Zhang Han’s face, Zi Yan felt pride in her heart.

Hardheaded fool! You always act aloof. Yet right now, your true character is showing through. Humph!

However, Zhang Han’s crisp appearance surprised Zi Yan. The last time, when she met with Zhang Han at his apartment, because of his sloppiness, Zi Yan did not even want to speak with him. But right now, he looked the same as five years ago, except his previous debauchery and excessiveness had disappeared. Right now, he seemed more mature and calm.

Zi Yan preferred the Zhang Han right more than the Zhang Han from five years ago. He had been too crude and rough!

“Humph, who likes him!” Zi Yan lightly snorted in her mind.

The two people stared at each other with their eyes, one staring with her big eyes and the other staring with his small eyes. Neither said anything, causing the tension between them to grow.

“Don’t you have anything that you want to say?” Zi Yan said as she blinked her big clear eyes.

It would have been alright if Zhang Han had said something pleasant. But right now, he refused to speak!

She grew furious as she thought, “I rushed from Xiangjiang to Shangjing during the night and rushed back from Shangjing to Xiangjiang the next day. All because of Zhang Han. And yet he doesn’t apologize at all!”

“Say what?” Zhang Han finally opened his mouth.

In that moment, Zi Yan became even angrier and felt very disappointed with Zhang Han.

She immediately stood up and said angrily, “Forget it, I have nothing to say to you, I will go and take Emily now!”

“Wait!” Hearing that, Zhang Han quickly stood up and moved in front of Zi Yan.

Normally, with Zhang Han’s temper, he would have said, “Meng Meng is my daughter, she will be following me from now on!”

But when the words reached his mouth, Zhang Han was not able to say it out. Without a doubt, he was not a fool. He knew that if he were to say those words, the woman in front of him would instantly turn into a tigress!

Thus, Zhang Han used a softer tone:

“Eh…Didn’t you say that you are letting Meng Meng stay with me for a week? It’s only been five days.”

“Meng Meng is mine. I can do whatever I want and don’t need your permission.” While speaking, Zi Yan suddenly realized her mistake. “Ugh! I mean Emily.”

She ignored Zhang Han as she opened the bedroom door and walked in.

“Mommy?” Hearing the sound of people speaking, Meng Meng opened her eyes. Seeing her mother, the little princess was extremely happy.

After five days, Zi Yan also missed the little princess very much. Sitting at the bedside, she gently hugged Meng Meng.

Zi Yan’s face emitted out a radiance of maternal love. Her voice was a 100 times gentler than when she spoke with Zhang Han, “My baby, did you miss mommy?”

“Miss, miss, miss……” Meng Meng said happily as she pouted her little mouth and kissed Zi Yan’s face.

Zhang Han looked at the cosmetics on Zi Yan’s face and wanted to say, “Don’t kiss, you are touching a layer of foundation!”

But when the words reached his mouth, he was not able to speak. It was most probably that he could not bear to interrupt this warm moment between Zi Yan and Meng Meng.

Also, Meng Meng was not just his daughter. She had her own mother, and the mother was about to take her away.

Sigh……

Zhang Han’s heart was reluctant to part with Meng Meng.

“Mommy is here to pick you up. Aunt Fei Fei is still waiting downstairs for us. Let’s go back home after you put on your clothes, okay?” Zi Yan said with a smile.

“Alright! Go home!” Meng Meng raised her hands happily.

Meng Meng missed those hairy toys of hers back home.

However, after Meng Meng put on her clothes, Zi Yan held her with her right hand, pulled the suitcase with her left hand and walked towards the door. Meng Meng finally reacted:

“Mommy, wait! Daddy still hasn’t finished wearing his clothes.”

Zi Yan thought for a while and said, “Your daddy he…still has some things to do. That’s why mommy is here to pick you up.”

When Zhang Han heard that, his lips wiggled and wanted to say, “I have nothing to do! Let Meng Meng stay here!”

However, this wasn’t realitistic. Even if Zi Yan didn’t say anything, Zhang Han indeed had things that he needed to do.

Hearing that her father was not going home with her, Meng Meng’s clear big eyes began tearing up.

“Boohoo……No……I want daddy……together…”

Meng Meng wiggled around in her mother’s embrace and began crying, as she stretched her little arms towards her father, requesting her father to hug her.

Zhang Han’s heart trembled and he hurriedly satepped forward and brought Meng Meng into his embrace and starting consoling her.

Father consoling his own daughter. This should have been a very warm scene, right? Zi Yan, on the other hand, was upset.

It had only been five days and she is already so intimate with her father?! If she spends more time with him, will I still be able to take her away?

Zi Yan felt that this was a dangerous sign. She could not allow anyone to snatch her daughter away from her! Thus, she stared at Zhang Han with a threatening gaze.

Zhang Han shook his head helplessly and consoled, “MengMeng, daddy really has things to do. Daddy has to go find a domain during the next few days, so that I can build a utopia for Meng Meng. So that in the future, Meng Meng will be able to be together with daddy……and also mommy forever.”

“Really?”

“Of course. Daddy would never ever lie to you,” Zhang Han said with a slight smile.

“Then……then what is there in utopia? Is there any adorable dolls?” Meng Meng stopped crying. However, the tears were still hanging at the corner of her eyes, making her seem very pitiful.

Zhang Han wiped away the tears in the corner of Meng Meng’s eyes and said with a smile, “Not only are there dolls, there is also a very big house, adorable doggies, beautiful cats and also many, many other pets that you can play with. Also, there will be a lot of delicious food and a lot of fun places there.”

“Yay! Doggies and cats! Meng Meng like it!” Meng Meng said.

“As long as you like it. Therefore, daddy really has things to do. After daddy finishes up, he will come and pick up Meng Meng. Okay?”

Seeing Zhang Han getting Meng Meng to stop crying with just a few sentences, Zi Yan let out a sigh of relief. But she also lightly snorted and thought to herself:

“Graceful words and flowery speech! This Zhang Han really knows how to lie to children!”

Still, this was the first time that Zi Yan had seen such a tender side of Zhang Han. From Zhang Han’s smile, she could not see any resemblance to the stiff and hardheaded Zhang Han with who she quarreled with only a few days ago.

“Alright, Emily, say goodbye to your daddy. We have to go already.” Zi Yan once again picked up the little princess.

“Goodbye, daddy.” The little princess waved her hand. Even after the coaxing, the little princess was still somewhat reluctant to part with her daddy.

“Let me help you all.”

Zhang Han silently picked up the heavy suitcase.

Walking out of the door and seeing the sulky Meng Meng, Zhang Han smiled and patted on her head:

“Meng Meng, next time you have to call me daddy, not the third tone, but the fourth tone.”

“Daddy?” Meng Meng’s age was still small and thus her pronunciation was not clear. Furthermore, she grew up in North America. Her English was fluent, but as for her Chinese, she had only just begun learning it thus was still not that good with the pronunciation.

“Incorrect.” Zhang Han said with a weird face, “The daddy that you are speaking of is dung, which means poop. Does daddy look like poop?” **

Seeing Zhang Han’s weird face, the little princess giggled.

“I feel that you do look like poop,” Zi Yan said with a teasing tone. “Baby, next time you can just call him ‘daddy’. No, no, call him smelly daddy.”

“Hehehe……smelly daddy, smelly smelly daddy……”

Amidst the laughter, they made it downstairs.

When it was time to leave, the little girl was still reluctant and she asked pitifully:

“Mommy, when will I be able to see daddy again?”

“After he finishes with the things he has to do,” Zi Yan casually answered.

“Then, when will you finish with your things daddy?” Meng Meng asked.

Hearing the question, Zhang Han wanted to say, “Daddy is not busy.”

But in the end, he said, “Daddy will be very fast. After I finish with my things, I will immediately go and pick you up. So, you must stay with mommy until then and be very good.”

“Meng Meng will be very, very good!”

After Meng Meng and Zi Yan got into the car and Meng Meng stood by the car window in the back, Zhang Han couldn’t help but remind her:

“Meng Meng! You have to remember the name that daddy gave you, okay.”

Zhang Han’s reminder caused Zi Yan’s eyes to roll.

“I understand...” Meng Meng replied.

The car started up and gradually drove away. Zhang Han stood and blankly looked at the car as it drove further and further away. Only when the car disappeared from his field of vision, did he let out a light sigh and go back to the hotel.

“Oh? That fellow gave Emily a new name?” While driving the car, Zhou Fei snorted lightly.

Back when she accompanied Zi Yan to meet with Zhang Han, seeing Zhang Han and Zi Yan quarreling caused her to think of Zhang Han as a scumbag.

She now saw him as a wretched, hot tempered, and small ability kind of scumbag!

“He is very stubborn about it. When he heard of Emily’s name, he was not happy, saying that because his surname is Zhang, Emily also have to be surnamed Zhang,” Zi Yan said petulantly.

Back then when she gave birth to the little princess and was thinking of a name for the little princess, she subconsciously only gave the little princess a pet name, Emily. In her heart, she had perhaps also fantasized about building a family with the child and the child’s father. But after coming into contact with Zhang Han, she was incomparably disappointed and that little fantasy also disappeared.

“That fellow also thinks too much of himself already,” Zhou Fei said with a disdainful tone.

“Humph!” Hearing that, Meng Meng was not happy about that and said loudly, “Smelly Aunt Fei Fei! You cannot speak badly of daddy!”

This shocked Zi Yan.

Meng Meng in the past would never speak so loudly! What was the matter with her?

Zhou Fei’s face froze and said helplessly:

“Alright, I will not speak badly of your daddy okay? Emily, why are you not gentle anymore after staying with him for only a few days?”

“I, I am not called Emily,” Meng Meng said.

“Then what are you called?” Zhou Fei asked with a smile.

The little princess adorably raised up her hands and said, “I am called...Zhang Yumeng……Meng Meng…Meng Meng Meng Meng!”

“Ah! That rough and hardheaded fellow is actually able to think of such a feminine name?” Zhou Fei smiled lightly and shook her head.

**[In Chinese, Meng Meng calls Zhang Han as '粑粑'. '粑粑' has quite a few meanings to it, one of them is poop and the other is father. The actual word for father should be '爸爸' though. The pinyin for both '粑粑' and '爸爸’ are 'ba ba', but just different tonality. Hope this explanation is understandable.]
