Chapter 25: Daughter
Outside Kang Ju district.
Ning Qiu Tong suddenly knelt in front of Chen Xi.
Other than making the sneaky Lin Xuan felt extremely astonished, her sudden move had also made Chen Xi felt slightly flabbergasted.
Similar to many rich second generation heirs, her family background was outstanding and she was healthily brought up under the shade of her parents.
Moreover, she had an exceptional capability to sustain herself, hence, no matter how much effort others put in, people her age still could not match her rapid growth. They could only follow behind her and stare at her back as she flew higher and higher, like the myriad bird of the Nine Heavens.
However, this had also given her a sense of superiority.
The sense of superiority was the behavior of her self-consciousness.

Hence, when Ning Qiu Tong believed that Chen Xi was a swindler back at the hospital, no matter what Chen Xi did, later on, she would still affirm that Chen Xi was spouting lie after lie to set the trap.
Actually, having these kinds of thoughts were still pretty normal. After all, there were several hospital swindlers that had used a chain of lies to swindle people, causing them to run around in circles.
Ning Qiu Tong was at fault in only believing in her own judgement. After making the judgement, she would even refuse to test her judgement, strongly believing that Chen Xi was a swindler.
Ning Zhong Guo also did not trust Chen Xi. However, he would at least do some research about it, therefore determining whether the medicine Chen Xi had sold him was effective or not.
Chen Xi glanced at Ning Qiu Tong, feeling somewhat surprised.

Honestly, he would never have thought that this arrogant woman would adopt this kind of method to beg for forgiveness.
However…
Chen Xi did not plan to forgive her.
If an apology was enough, what use were the police for?

Hence, Chen Xi no longer responded to her and directly walked past her.

Ning Qiu Tong knelt on the floor. Her face turned ashen as she bitterly begged, "You are also a father, I hope you can understand how I feel as a daughter. It is I that is arrogant and ignorant, it is I that do not know the immensity of heaven and earth. I sincerely apologize to you, please don't take your anger out on my father because of me…"
"If it is because of me that my father is now suffering at death's door, I really don't know how to continue living in this world.."

"I'm begging you, please save my father…"
With tears flowing out of her eyes, Ning Qiu Tong heavily bowed her head down.

As if he was moved by Ning Qiu Tong's words, Chen Xi glance at the sleeping little kiddo that was peacefully lying in his chest and finally stopped.

He softly sighed and turned around and looked at Ning Qiu Tong.

Ning Qiu Tong felt that something had changed.

While kneeling on the floor, she slowly raised her head. That pitiful and helpless expression could not help but tighten one's heart.
That exquisite makeup was ruined due to the tears. A faint black line stretched from her eye sockets to her chin, which was obviously the trace of her tears.

When she saw Chen Xi turned around, she immediately became emotional.
Like a person who had fallen into the water, she finally grabbed onto the last straw of hope.

When she sensed that Chen Xi's attitude had softened a little, she knelt on the floor as she desperately nudged 2 steps forward. She then slightly lifted her beautiful tear-stained face and thought about what to say so as to completely move Chen Xi.
She moved her mouth. But after struggling for a while, she still swallowed the words.
Followed closely, she knelt her head down once again.

She knew that actions were more effective in touching a person's heart than words.
"Stand up."

Looking at her peeling off the layers of shell, Chen Xi heart finally softened. She was such a filial daughter, even willing to abandon her pride so as to save her father.
"I will cure your father's sickness."
Chen Xi gave a firm reply.

However, when Ning Qiu Tong heard Chen Xi's promise, she still stared at Chen Xi, as if in a daze.

Her facial expression froze in place, she was not as elated and excited as she had imagined.

In the next moment, she burst into tears.
She knelt on the floor as she covered her face with her hands. Soon after, she started bawling out loud like a child.

Due to the commotion, a few of the neighboring apartments even opened their windows to see what all the clamor was about.
Chen Xi was unclear of her internal struggles, hence, he had no idea what happened to her.

At this time, the little kiddo woke up due to the noise.

She used her tiny hands to rub her eyes and after stretching lazily while being carried, she immediately caught sight of Ning Qiu Tong's bouts of sobbing.
The little kiddo immediately indicated Chen Xi to put her down.
After Chen Xi placed her onto the floor, the little kiddo immediately ran towards Ning Qiu Tong. She patted her shoulders with her tiny hands and thoughtfully said, "Big sis, don't cry. Grandma has said it before, girls will become ugly if they cry too much."
Perhaps, due to the effectiveness of the little kiddo's consoling, Ning Qiu Tong gradually stopped her crying.

She attempted to rub away her tears and under the effect of the tears, she could only roughly see the little kiddo's appearance.

The little kiddo walked in front of her and suddenly reached out her hands and hugged her head. Next, as if she was an adult, she sweetly comforted her, "Big sis, don't cry. Nian Nian will play with you."

"Thank you…"

Ning Qiu Tong hugged Nian Nian's petite figure.

Although she was still sobbing sporadically, a trace of a smile that was seldom seen appeared on her face.
… … …

After a while, Ning Qiu Tong left.

After receiving Chen Xi's reply, she could finally remove the chains of guilt and remorse that had made her suffered.
"Papa, why was big sis crying?"

"Maybe because she misses her father."

Chen Xi carried the little kiddo as they walked in the silent district.

After hearing Chen Xi's reply, the little kiddo immediately kissed Chen Xi's cheek, making out a 'ba ji' sound. Next, she used her tiny hands and tightly hugged Chen Xi as she muttered, "Big sis is so pitiful. She misses her papa but her papa is not by her side."
Hearing that, Chen Xi fell into a daze before seriously asking the little kiddo, "Did Nian Nian cry when she missed her papa back then?"

"No, I didn't!"

The little kiddo frowned as she pulled a face. Then, she loudly exclaimed, "Grandma has said before, girls cannot cry. If they cry too much, they will be ugly when they grow up!"
"Ah it makes sense when Nian Nian grows up, she will definitely be a big beauty. So you cannot cry in the future ah, if not you will become ugly."
"Hmph, I won't cry!" The little kiddo tilted her head as she displayed a proud appearance.
After reaching home while carrying the little kiddo, Chen Xi realized that Aunty Zhang was already asleep.

Due to his phone in power off mode, Aunty Zhang' calls could not get through and hence, she decided to sleep first.

Chen Xi silently carried Nian Nian to the bathroom as he used a warm and damp towel to wipe the little kiddo's face.

"Grandma is already asleep. Nian Nian will sleep with papa, okay?"

"I want papa to tell me stories!"

"Papa will tell you the story of the ugly duckling, okay?"

"Okay!"

After lightly washing up, Chen Xi carried the little kiddo to the bedroom as he proceeded to tell her the story of the ugly duckling.
The story was not long, but before Chen Xi could finish, the little kiddo had already fallen asleep.
The moonlight was like water as the night breeze flowed mellifluously.

Looking at his daughter sleeping on the spot Ying Ying used to sleep, a tinge of sorrow surfaced in his heart.

Maybe a few years ago, Ying Ying was also in this room and just liked him, she also silently watched her sleeping daughter…
This is his home.

He was away for a long period of time and even lost the most precious thing in his life.

Hence, no matter what happens tomorrow, he would not leave.
TN: Feeling a bit downcast like Chen Xi right now. Thanks for all the support!
