The Unknown God of War

Chapter 24

It was seven o’clock in the morning and the sun was up; the kindergarten entrance was overflowing with a bustling crowd at the peak hour.

Despite the crowd, Chu Feng still managed to spot the two beauty, Yun Muqing and his daughter, across the streets at a glance. Yun Muqing was gentle, attractive and elegant just like how she was when they first met, and Duo Duo was holding the hands of her mother. She was dressed in a gorgeous princess gown and she had delicate and fair skin; her personality was lively, making her as adorable as a porcelain doll.

Chu Feng continued staring at the both of them from a short distance away, and he yearned badly to cross the street toward them, then hug them tightly in his arms, but he didn’t do so, and merely stood there internally missing the both of them, to the extent that his heart was palpitating—he simply did not have the courage to take the first step.

Having spent ten years in military battles, holding back was not an option in Chu Feng’s life. However, when it came to confronting the mother and daughter, who were dearest to him, he hesitated.

“I was just criticizing Lord Chu for his unworthiness as a man and a father, but how am I different from him now?”

Chu Feng had a complicated feeling in his heart; he could empathize on the loneliness they must have felt from the lack of people who cared for them because of his own experiences, which made him even more guilty and unable to acknowledge his relationship with them.

It had been five years since he had not stayed in contact with them, yet now he appeared so suddenly, no one would have been able to accept it in an instant.

The more he cared, the more afraid he was. He was afraid that once he revealed his identity, he would lose his daughter and Yun Muqing forever. He was afraid that they would turn into enemies and would never be in contact ever again, just like what happened between Lord Chu, the Chu Family in the capital city, and he himself.

Chu Feng lit a cigarette and exhaled a mouthful of smoke as he stared at both of them quietly from afar. He slowly let go of the complicated thoughts in his mind and smiled...

He glanced at the other girls in the kindergarten, then with a voice full of pride, he said to himself, “My daughter is still the cutest and the prettiest after all. Those unattractive girls are no match to my precious daughter at all.”

Soon, he furrowed his eyebrows once again. “The boys in this term are way too disappointing! They’re so childish, naughty and stupid, none of them are pleasing to the eye! My precious daughter should never marry any of these little brats… Hmm. I’ll need to take precautions. Kids start dating each other way too early these days…” Chu Feng was filled with worry.

“Achoo!” Duo Duo sneezed and blinked her eyes with an innocent expression on her face. She would have never imagined that her father, Chu Feng, had already drawn out detailed plans for her future when she was only four years old.

“Mommy, I feel like I’ve caught a cold. Can I skip school today?” Duo Duo asked pitifully.

“No way!” Yun Muqing refused solemnly.

“Oh, okay.” The little girl was visibly disappointed. Indeed, the decision on whether or not she could

skip school was non-negotiable.

Yun Muqing squatted down and wiped Duo Duo’s face clean meticulously with a wet tissue as she ranted, “Who are you to blame? You were the one who refused to sleep and chose to sit by the door foolishly in the middle of the night.”

“I… I was just waiting for Daddy to come home. What if he couldn’t find our home? What if he couldn’t find me?” In an innocent tone and with her round, black eyes staring wide open that were full of hopefulness, Duo Duo asked her mother. “Mommy, Mr. Creepy said that Daddy would be home soon, is that true? He wouldn’t lie to me, would he?”

Tears threatened to fall out of the edge of Yun Muqing’s eyes as she tried her best to control her emotions and answered gently, “Of course not. As long as you’re obedient, sleep well and go to school, dad will be back in no time.”

“Yay!” The little girl cheered and danced in joy. Her large eyes curved into the shape of crescents and she bounced up and down excitedly. “Daddy is coming home! I’ll finally have a dad…” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“Duo Duo, slow down, be careful!” Yun Muqing called out anxiously.

Children were often active and playful, and wouldn’t care to stop once they got excited. However, as she was jumping happily across the street, a red BMW was speeding toward her!

Honk honk honk! The repeating, ear-piercing car horn could be heard, and it seemed like it wouldn’t be able to stop in time—it went straight at Duo Duo and threatened to knock her over!
