Chapter 553: Two Eight Two: Swallowing Liren!_3

"Certainly," Suo Lun said.

At that moment, Ashi Liren walked in and spoke to Ashi Yuanba and Ashinan, "Children, it’s time to go home."

Immediately, Anan and Yuanba rushed towards her.

Ashinan had two more bouts of her malicious affliction today, which were kept at bay by the dragon force of three powerful warriors from the Gao Faction.

But she would be alright soon because the antidote left by Ashi Luo contained remedies, not only for Ashi Liren but also for Ashinan.

Then, Liren took Ashi Yuanba and Anan by the hands and left directly.

"Teacher, Qin Qin..." Anan said eagerly, "Hurry up and come home with us, we have class early tomorrow morning."

Qin Qin stepped forward, took Suo Lun’s hand, and gently shook it, looking at him eagerly, wanting to follow Yuanba and Ashinan back to Ashi Liren Mansion.

Ashi Liren stopped and turned to Ashi Yuanba, "Yuanba, this man is not your teacher Yan Ziyu; his name is Suo Lun, the City Lord of Tianshui City."

As these words were spoken, Suo Lun distinctly felt Qin Qin’s small hand tremble, and he couldn’t help but tighten his grip a bit.

Ashi Yuanba was taken aback and then looked at Suo Lun, "I don’t care who he is, as long as he is my teacher, that’s all that matters."

Ashi Liren said, "No, he is no longer your teacher. Remember, this man is not to be trusted, from now on our family will have no relation with him."

Upon hearing these words, Ashi Yuanba and Ashinan turned pale.

And Ashinan, her tears immediately began to fall.

"What about Qin Qin?" Ashinan asked through her tears.

Ashi Liren answered, "You are still friends, but you will not see each other again."

Instantly, Ashinan clung to her foster mother Ashi Liren’s waist and cried loudly.

Tears reddened Ashi Yuanba’s eyes as he looked unwillingly at Suo Lun and Qin Qin, "But mother..."

"There’s no ’but’." Ashi Liren said, "Did you hear what I said?"

Ashi Yuanba lowered his head, "I heard."

"Did you remember it?" Ashi Liren asked.

Ashi Yuanba replied, "I remembered."

Ashi Liren’s beautiful eyes looked on and said, "Count Suo Lun, you have three days left. Please leave within the deadline, or else..."

In front of the children, Ashi Liren did not finish her sentence but led the two children away.

...

Watching the retreating figures of Ashi Liren and the two children, Suo Lun took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

After a moment, he felt the little one beside him crying.

He turned and saw that Qin Qin was looking up at him with big eyes, tears sliding down one by one.

Her tears were not because Ashi Yuanba and Ashinan had left.

It was because of the words Ashi Liren said, that he was not Yan Ziyu, but Suo Lun.

And Qin Qin had always known that her biological father was Suo Lun.

Suo Lun picked up her tiny, soft body, kissed her forehead, and said softly, "Baby, your daddy didn’t know about your existence before. You are the most adorable child, the apple of your parents’ eye; how could daddy bear not to want you? So as soon as I heard about you, daddy did everything to find you."

Qin Qin kept crying, but it wasn’t a cry of sadness.

As for why she was crying, she was too young to understand.

Suo Lun gently kissed her, soothing her softly.

After crying, Qin Qin quieted down. Though there was still a slight post-cry hiccup, her big eyes remained fixed on Suo Lun’s face, even reaching out to touch it.

Clearly, she thought the face before her was too old, belonging to a grandfather, not a father.

"Little one, wait for daddy, I’ll perform a magic trick for you," Suo Lun said, trying to please her. He then placed her on the ground and walked into the room to use a special solution to wash away the disguise on his face.

In the corner of the hall, he saw Fu Yan’er with a face full of surprise and astonishment, looking at him with utter disbelief.

Suo Lun too was taken aback. Why was she here? Hadn’t she fallen into Ashi Luo’s hands?

Moreover, how had she become more beautiful, yet there seemed to be traces on her face as if she had been hit?

"Suo Lun, is that you? Is it really you?" Fu Yan’er trembled with disbelief, "I’m... I’m not dreaming, am I?"

Suo Lun had no kind expression for her, snorted coldly, and went straight past her.

But Fu Yan’er didn’t care, for these days she had been living in fear and unease, and now at last, the bitter times had turned sweet.

She immediately rushed to her daughter Qin Qin, scooped her up in her arms, and kissed her desperately, "Baby, baby, your daddy has come to get us. I knew it, he would never abandon us, mother and daughter."

...

A full half an hour had passed before Suo Lun finally cleaned off the disguise from his face and body with a special solution, thoroughly and cleanly.

Then, dressed in a white robe and holding a mirror, he appeared before Qin Qin.

"Baby, do you think you look like daddy?" Suo Lun asked with a smile.

His daughter Qin Qin’s eyes widened as she looked at Suo Lun, then at her own reflection in the mirror.

"Giggle..."

Suddenly, she burst into giggles.

She was too young to tell if she looked like her father or not.

But she could see that her daddy was very, very handsome, the most handsome daddy she had ever seen.

Meanwhile, Fu Yan’er had been staring in amazement, completely enraptured.

Back when she had her fling with Suo Lun, he had only been fifteen or sixteen and hadn’t fully matured yet. Although he was still very handsome, it couldn’t compare to now.

Suo Lun’s current handsomeness had an almost otherworldly beauty to it, filled with an extraordinary charm.

...

In the following time, daughter Qin Qin stuck close to Suo Lun’s side.

Every part of her little face was filled with happiness, her two big eyes never leaving Suo Lun’s features.

She was truly so happy to have a daddy who was so handsome and so kind to her.

Suo Lun accompanied her at meals and then at bedtime, telling her stories before sleep.

Usually at this time, Qin Qin would either be pretending to sleep or staring blankly with her eyes wide open.

But at this moment, she snuggled up blissfully beside Suo Lun and sweetly fell asleep, her tiny body curled up like a little shrimp.

Suo Lun gently kissed his daughter’s face and then lightly waved his hand to extinguish the light and lay down on the bed, beginning to ponder the current situation.

How could Ashi Liren have been so decisive? How was he to win her back?
