Novel Full Chapter 1193 A bad daddy
Qian Lai raised her head and then looked at her mother with teary eyes. She wiped her tears and then sincerely asked, ” Mother, does daddy not like me? If you don’t like me then you can bring sister back and leave me where she is… I cannot live in this house anymore.
Daddy scolds me and sometimes he punishes me when I sleep in the afternoon and does not give me lunch.” She paused and asked with some hesitation, ” Mother am I your daughter? Or did you pick me up from the street? My friend says that only unwanted children are treated like this… am I unwanted?”
Qian Lai thought that maybe it was her sister who was the biological daughter of her father and she was just a useless child whom her parents picked up, if she was the biological child why was she treated like this?
When Qian Hai heard her daughter’s words, how could her heart not hurt? She flicked her daughter’s forehead and then said, ” What nonsense are you saying? Will I and your daddy bring an unrelated child back? You are my daughter!” After speaking she sighed and picked her daughter up from the bed and hugged her tightly.
She rubbed the back of her daughter’s back and then stated, ” Your daddy is just upset that your sister left him so soon. Once he is done grieving he will be back to your loving daddy who cared about you all the time.”
If possible Qian Hai would have exchanged the life of her daughter with that horrendous and cruel mer but she could not do that, her child was gone and no matter what she did… she would never be able to bring her daughter back.
Qian Lai stared at her mother with suspicion and then said, ” Will he really love me?” Your adventure continues at empire
” Of course, you are his daughter. You came from his belly, if he does not love you whom will he love?” Qian Hai spoke with confidence, she thought about calling her father-in-law to talk with Yuan Jiuqi, if this goes on then her husband would really turn Qian Lai’s heart cold.
” Something smells delicious Mommy,” Qian Lai stated after taking a sniff of the scent that was coming from the outside. She took another whiff and then sighed before shaking her head.
Seeing her acting like this while having an expression that was visibly similar to an old woman who was troubled, Qian Hai was amused. She scratched the tip of her daughter’s nose and then asked, ” Whats the matter? Why are you sighing like this?”
” I can only smell good things, mother but I cannot eat them,” stated Qian Lai with a smile that did not reach her eyes. ” Daddy’s cooking is so bad and I cannot eat what the aunties make in the Kitchen.”
After Yuan Jiuqi’s youngest daughter was poisoned he stopped accepting the cooking from the main kitchen. Instead, he started to cook himself but Yuan Jiuqi was a mer who came from a rich background and did not know how to cook, though he was taught by his father later on with his current situation, how could he even make good dishes?
It was often said that only those who cooked with their hearts could create delicious dishes, after Yuan Jiuqi lost his daughter he became more and more irritable and impatient. He did not even have the patience to chop vegetables properly, there were times when he would leave a whole potato in the pot.
Thus both mother and daughter knew that even if something delicious was being cooked, they were not going to get anything. Even if Qian Hai could leave the courtyard, Qian Lai who was carefully watched by his father could not.
She would have to eat what his father gave her no matter how disgusting it tasted.
” It’s all right even if your father cannot cook well, it’s his heartfelt intentions,” Qian Hai could only beguile her daughter like this.
On the other hand, Yuan Jiuqi was puzzled. He had thought that his wife had wasted money again and that she did not have him in her heart which was why she brought meat and vegetables for him instead of a silver or gold hairpin.
After all, he was the official husband if a mer concubine got a silver hairpin then he deserved gold. What was his wife doing bringing meat and vegetables for him? He was about to make another fuss but as he cleaned the leeks and threw them together with the eggs, he suddenly felt a sweet scent rise from the scrambled eggs.
It was so refreshing that Yuan Jiuqi felt like he was standing on a farm where nothing but greenery was scattered all over the place.
He blinked his eyes before looking at the eggs and leeks that her wife had brought from the mall. He noted the name of the mall in his head before taking out the minced beef that was placed in a small wooden container.
Just like the eggs and leeks, he poured them into the pot along with the rest of the condiments. He wanted to make curry and rice for his daughter as he did think that he had said too much earlier. This was his daughter’s favourite meal and she should cheer up a little.
As he was too narrow-minded he could not bring himself to say sorry to his daughter and thus decided to cook something good for her.
However, as soon as he poured the minced meat with onions and carrots another wave of spiritual fragrance assaulted his nostrils. His eyes widened and his heart which was stifled with anger and frustration started to clear up. Even his mood was much more brightened as he started to think of his past actions.
The more he thought about it the more his eyes turned red. What had he done? His youngest daughter died because he was not careful but he took it out on his eldest as if it was her fault for making it out alive.
He was such a bad daddy! No wonder his daughter was upset with him.
