Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51: Chapter 51: The Little Guy’s Competition

The little one started to cry.

For a moment, Wu Tian was at a loss. As the Immortal Emperor, he had braved countless storms on his path to power. There was no situation he could not handle, yet this was the one time he felt his heart thrown into turmoil.

All Wu Tian could do was rush over, sweep the little one into his arms, and comfort her. "It was Papa’s fault. Papa shouldn’t have left you alone. What’s a family gathering? Nothing is as cute as my baby! Right?"

The little one hmphed, turning her head away to continue crying.

Qin Yuhan frantically pulled out a delicate handkerchief to wipe the girl’s tears.

But Gugu’s heart ached. How could she forget so quickly?

"You’re a kid without a dad, you know that?"

"Gugu, I have a dad. Why don’t you?"

"Gugu, we’re not playing with you anymore. You don’t have a dad. You’re a weirdo."

The words of the other children echoed in her ears like memories, and years of pent-up sorrow erupted all at once.

I may be small, but I have my own sorrows! Don’t you know?

"Sweetie, don’t cry. Your Papa is here," Wu Tian said, holding Gugu’s head against his chest. Her tears soaked the front of his shirt, but he didn’t mind in the slightest. What was a piece of clothing? For this child, Wu Tian would give anything.

Qin Yuhan comforted her from the side as well. In that moment, the two of them finally looked like a real couple.

Lin Mo watched the scene quietly, feeling happy for Gugu. At the kindergarten, Gugu was the only child who didn’t have a papa. Lin Mo’s heart ached for her.

After a long while, Gugu’s crying subsided, and her trembling little body finally grew calm. Once the tears stopped, she suddenly lifted her head and looked at Wu Tian and Qin Yuhan. With a wronged expression, she asked, "Then tell me... are you two really my Papa and Mama?"

"Of course we are," Wu Tian and Qin Yuhan replied in unison.

"Then why are you different from other kids’ Papas and Mamas? You don’t sleep together," the little girl said loudly, mustering all her courage.

This is not a conversation I should be listening to, is it? How inappropriate! Lin Mo thought, looking embarrassed.

"I have to go now," she said quickly. "When you leave, just turn off the lights and close the door."

"No, no!" Gugu cried out. "The more the merrier! Sister Mo, you taught me that. You can sleep with us too!"

"No, really, I can’t," Lin Mo said, fleeing in a panic.

"I think we should head back too," Qin Yuhan said awkwardly.

Wu Tian nodded and picked the little one up. As they left the kindergarten and walked to the car, Gugu still wasn’t ready to let Wu Tian and Qin Yuhan off the hook. Cradled in Wu Tian’s arms, she wriggled her little bottom emphatically. "Tell me, tell me! Are you going to sleep together or not?"

Wu Tian thought for a second and quickly replied, "You’ll have to ask your Mama."

Gugu immediately turned her gaze to Qin Yuhan.

Wu Tian was trying to pass the buck, but Qin Yuhan wasn’t about to take it. "Sweetie, your Papa is tricking you," she said.

Gugu’s eyes widened. She knew her Papa and Mama were trying to fool her. All the way to the car, she wriggled her little bottom furiously with an expression that said she was unhappy, furious, and utterly unconvinced. Her pouty look made both Wu Tian and Qin Yuhan secretly chuckle.

Once they were home, Gugu struggled out of Qin Yuhan’s arms and scampered barefoot over to Xia Yumeng, who was watching a TV drama. "I’m not happy! I’m not happy!"

"Huh? What’s wrong?" Xia Yumeng asked, looking at the little girl in puzzlement.

The commotion even startled Qin Zhengyang, who had returned home and was in his study. Seeing his granddaughter was upset, he hurried over. "Sweetie, who upset you? Tell Grandpa, and I’ll be sure to help."
