Back For My Daughter
Chapter 57 - 57: Can I Also Call You Papa?

In the living room, Ye Qian was sitting on the sofa as he patted Little Jia's head.

Little Jia was feeling warm in her body while Ye Qian patted her and smiled.

'Huh, how did Jia behave like that, she is always shy with new people but she is so lively with Sister Meng's husband?'

Ning Wei pondered seeing that her daughter didn't feel uncomfortable.

Usually, her daughter would be very shy and try to hide when facing someone she was unfamiliar with.

'Ahh, it must be because he cares a lot about children?'

'Jia is also feeling good and safe with him.'

As Ning Wei was thinking of so many things but Ye Qian frowned.

Noticing his frown, the ladies felt something was not right and they asked him with worry.

"What is it, is everything alright?"

Ning Wei asked with some worry.

Meanwhile, Yuan Meng was also worried as she had seen Ye Qian in the morning when he was patting the little girls but he did not give such an expression at that time.

'Is there something wrong with Jia?'

She glanced at Little Jia and shook her head.

'No, that can't be?'

Looking at their worried faces, Ye Qian shook his head.

"No there is nothing wrong, or to worry about."

Saying that he smiled at little Jia and caressed her cheeks.

"Huh?"

Little Jia stared at him with confusion as she received such love from someone who was not her mother for the first time and tears started to fall from her eyes.

"Ohh, such a beautiful little lady shouldn't cry, look how bad you look now."

Ye Qian smiled at her and rubbed her tears off.

"Sniff... sniff... I won't cry, hehe."

Little Jia giggled as Ye Qian tickled her a little.

The women were shocked by the sudden change.

They had never seen Little Jia behave like this.

But Ning Wei was even more shocked by seeing her daughter as she felt warm in her heart and gently gazed at her child as she was being loved.

'Jia always wanted some fatherly love, but I was not able to give that to her even after providing her with everything. She would have thought of her father when she saw Ye Qian.'

Ning Wei sighed.

"Come and give a hug to uncle then!"

Ye Qian smiled as she stopped crying and opened his arms.

Little Jia giggled and entered into Ye Qian's embrace.

She placed her chin on his shoulder and tightly held his neck.

Ye Qian felt the same warm feeling when he hugged Little Qiqi for the first time and rubbed Little Jia's back.

"Ok, now my Little Jia won't cry from now."

Ye Qian consoled her as he continues to rub her small back gently.

"Hmmm."

Little Jia had by now closed her eyes and was completely immersed in the care and love she was receiving for the first time but she still nodded.

Seeing Ye Qian and Little Jia like a pair of father and daughter, Yuan Meng and Ning Wei had already had their eyes welled up with tears and glanced at each other while nodding.

They could see the changes in Little Jia now, she was happier now that she found someone like a father to her.

"Humph."

Meanwhile, Little Qiqi who was by their side pouted and harrumphed as she saw her Papa ignore her.

The ladies shook their heads, a little amused by her and giggled.

"Come here, I can't love my Little Butterfly any less."

Ye Qian heard Little Qiqi's humph and brought his other hand and took her as well and they hugged.

"Hehe... Papa is really nice; Papa likes big sister Jia too."

Little Qiqi giggled as she ran into his arms.

"Who won't like Jia, she is just like my Little Butterfly to me."

Ye Qian said as he stroked their heads.

"Hehe, Papa, Qiqi is hungry now."

Little Qiqi exclaimed as he patted their heads.

"Ahhh! I completely forgot about that."

Yuan Meng rubbed her forehead and said apologetically.

"Hehe, don't worry about that we won't leave without eating."

Jiao grinned as her lips curved up.

"En, what do you mean Jiao?"

Ning Wei asked not knowing what she meant.

Jiao quickly forced a smile.

"Nothing nothing."

"Alright, Mengmeng, let's go we need to place the dumplings in the steamer."

Saying that Ye Qian let go of the little girls and stood up and started to walk to the kitchen.

"Hmm."

Yuan Meng nodded and followed him.

"Papa, Qiqi will also come to help."

Little Qiqi exclaimed as she ran while still holding Little Jia's hand.

Little Jia also ran along with her into the kitchen.

Now in the living room, there were only Ning Wei and Jiao.

"Sister Wei, Jia was really happy now, I think you must think of something now."

Jiao said in a calm tone as she smiled gently staring at the little girls running.

"What can I do?"

Ning Wei asked in confusion.

"How about you marry, Jia will also have a dad then?"

Jiao said in a teasing manner.

"You little Demon. How can I marry now, besides I don't think anyone will like me now, and still I won't believe Little Jia will be treated properly?"

Ning Wei retorted with her face flushed and said while giving it a thought.

"Don't you know what those b@stards said to Qiqi just to force Yuan Meng to think of marrying?"

Ning Wei's face distorted as she suddenly felt to beat the male teachers in her school.

"Yes, you are right, not everyone is like Ye Qian."

Jiao sighed and thought of how Ye Qian treated Little Jia even though she was no one to him.

"Yes, you need to accept him on this point he is really a nice dad."

Ning Wei nodded as a gentle smile appeared on her face as scene from just now flashed in front of her eyes.

Meanwhile in the kitchen.

Ye Qian walked in followed by Yuan Meng and heard soft giggles and little footsteps from behind.

He turned only to see Little Qiqi and Little Jia were also in the kitchen.

"Papa, Qiqi will also help Papa and Mumma."

"Uncle, I also want to help."

Little Jia said as soon as Little Qiqi asked.

Ye Qian didn't want to refuse the sweet little girls but also didn't want them to be hurt in the meantime.

He nodded his head and the little girls followed behind them.

Seeing the scene Yuan Meng shook her head and smiled.

"Qian'er, how about we take the dumplings and steam them on the table and the other things are already warm so we don't need to make anything more."

Ye Qian's eyes brightened as she heard her and smiled.

"Butterfly and Jia help Papa to take the dumplings, plates and glasses to the dining room, Papa will take the soup and the fried rice with Mumma."

Little Qiqi was fine by his words but when Little Jia heard him she stood there in shock and asked.

"Uncle, can Jia also call you Papa?"

Hearing her Yuan Meng knew she had misunderstood Ye Qian, but she didn't want to make her feel sad and glanced at Ye Qian as to what he was going to do about this.

Little Jia also stared at him with shimmering eyes.

Ye Qian knew that the little girl had misunderstood him, but he felt it was fine if Little Jia called him Papa, it was not like going to hurt him or something and besides he also felt that Little Jia was just like Little Qiqi to him.

Ye Qian went to his knees in front of the little girls while patting Little Jia's head and smiling gently.

"If you feel happy to call me Papa, then sure you can call me, isn't Jia like my Little Butterfly to me."

Little Jia's body quivered as she smiled and hugged Ye Qian as tears started to roll from her eyes.

Yuan Meng who was busy placing the cutlery and glasses from the cabinet smiled at them as she heard the conversation.

'Jia was the only thing I was worried about after Qiqi found Qian'er back, I thought the little girl might feel sad after seeing Qiqi and Qian'er and feel disheartened, but now everything is fine.'

Yuan Meng was happy for Little Jia as she had noticed that Little Qiqi and Little Jia were nice friends because they had the same things in their life, they only had their mothers with them.

But she was worried that after Ye Qian loved Little Qiqi, Little Jia would feel left alone and she didn't want that to happen to her.

Little Jia was also like a daughter to her, she had been watching her for 3 years and unlike Qiqi, the little girl didn't have any hope of seeing her father.

But she was also aware that there was less chance that Ye Qian would even be alive.

But her daughter held on to the promise her Papa gave, but this was not possible for Little Jia.
