Chapter 575: Daddy You Lost Me

Nan Jiaojiao stepped back, and the little one rolled over to her leg, unsteady on her feet.

Nan Jiaojiao had no choice but to bend down and steady her.

Behind the strawberry bear costume, a delicate little face appeared.

A little girl of about three with two little buns atop her head and hairpins adorned with Chinese knots.

The red silk streamers trailed across her cheeks and ears.

The collision just moments ago had disheveled them a bit, and she freed one hand to brush the streamers aside.

Her eyes fixed intently on Nan Jiaojiao, her tiny brows furrowed impressively.

Her gaze finally settled on Nan Jiaojiao’s eyes, and she gave a gentle smile.

“Thank you, sister.”

Nan Jiaojiao unconsciously looked around.

The little girl didn’t seem to be accompanied by any adults.

“Little friend, where are your parents?”

“I got separated from my daddy.

Can you help me find him?”

This child was none other than Yeh Tuantuan.

She wasn’t actually lost; she had approached Nan Jiaojiao on purpose because she recognized her.

“Your daddy?”

Behind her, a family of three walked by.

The little boy, holding a toy airplane, was being naughty and bumped into several people.

His parents didn’t apologize; instead, they hovered around him to prevent a fall, coddling him.

Nan Jiaojiao picked up Yeh Tuantuan and moved away from that family of three.

“I’ll take you to the front desk.

We can use the intercom to find your daddy.”

Yeh Tuantuan’s eyes twinkled, and she suddenly pointed in a direction, “I got separated from daddy over there.”

Nan Jiaojiao followed the direction she pointed, but there was no one.

“Can we go look for him first?” Yeh Tuantuan tugged at Nan Jiaojiao’s hand.

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t respond.

Although there were people arranged by Bo Yanching for protection all around, if she left, Bo Qingshan and Qianqian would certainly look for her, and the situation would only become more complicated.

“Sister Jiaojiao!”

At that moment, Bo Qingshan came out with Qianqian, “We’ve made our choice.”

It just so happened that Qianqian also held a strawberry bear in her arms.

She caught sight of Nan Jiaojiao holding Yeh Tuantuan’s hand, and her eyes, which had only just brightened, dimmed again.

She instinctively moved to stand behind her brother.

Nan Jiaojiao inwardly cursed her timing.

Unsure of what to do next, Yeh Tuantuan let go of her hand.

“My daddy’s people have come for me.

You don’t need to bother helping me look for him.”

Yeh Tuantuan pointed to two men approaching who looked like bodyguards.

Nan Jiaojiao still held on to her, eyeing the two men warily.

She crouched down to be level with Yeh Tuantuan, “Little sister, I can’t just hand you over to someone unless I can verify that these men are indeed your daddy’s people.”

“Sure!”

Yeh Tuantuan blinked, and one of the bodyguards respectfully placed a cell phone in her palm.

“Daddy, you lost me.”

After the call connected, Yeh Tuantuan turned on the speakerphone.

The man’s leisurely laughter drifted down, “Really?

Where did you get lost?”

Nan Jiaojiao turned her head slightly; she felt she had heard that voice before somewhere.

Yeh Tuantuan didn’t notice her change of expression.

She sighed as if used to the situation, “I’m on the fourth floor, toy section.”

“Daddy only went to buy you a cup of milk tea, and yet you got lost.

What am I going to do with you?”

“Oh.”

Yeh Tuantuan replied noncommittally, pulling the phone away from her ear, about to hang up when something seemed to come to mind.

She brought the phone back to her ear, “Add more sugar, please.”

“Don’t you want your teeth anymore, kiddo?”

Beep—

Yeh Tuantuan selectively ignored the remark and hung up the call.

She returned the phone to the bodyguard and looked up at Nan Jiaojiao with a bright smile, “Sister, they’ll take me to find my daddy.”
