The Unknown God of War

Chapter 42

A flash of coldness appeared in Chu Feng’s eyes; as expected, it had something to do with the Yun family. Did these people really have a death wish, the way they were still coming after his woman? A plan formed in his mind, but on the outside he betrayed no emotion as he replied, “Alright.”

Yun Muqing breathed a sigh of relief, then stooped down to console a pitiful Duo Duo. “I’m sorry, Duo Duo. I have something to take care of at the last minute, so I can’t send you to school today.”

“B-But today’s my first day both Mommy and Daddy can send me to school...” The girl’s eyes misted up with tears, and it was a pitiful sight.

“Don’t cry. I’ll, uh, give you another five hundred as our extra allowance. Please forgive me, alright? Just this once.” Yun Muqing hastily consoled her, her expression filled with guilt.

“Alright, then. Bye, Mommy. I’ll miss you.” Duo Duo waved her tiny hand and pouted, as if she might burst into tears at any moment. Yun Muqing was nearly heartbroken, and turned to look at her many times before she finally left.

Chu Feng also felt touched watching them and patted Duo Duo’s shoulder in consolation. Truly, she was like a little blanket that warmed the heart and touched the soul, but just when Chu Feng had planned to console her—

“Yay, she’s gone at last!” Duo Duo jumped up with joy, dancing around while waving the red banknotes in her hand and exclaimed, “Daddy, now that I have the money, why don’t we get some snacks and ice cream?” She was showing no sign of sadness at all.

“Huh??” What kind of blanket was she? The type filled with ‘black-hearted wool’? “Duo Duo, I thought

you were very sad to see Mommy go?”

“You’re so immature, Daddy.” Duo Duo pursed her lips with a look of disdain. “If I don’t pull this trick and guilt Mommy into loving me, then how will she give me my allowance? How will we get ice cream?”

Chu Feng couldn’t decide whether to cry or laugh. “You’re… Wow, that’s very clever of you.”

“Teehee, it’s nothing. Practice makes perfect so if you practice some more, Daddy, you can trick her too. Mommy is actually very gullible,” the girl said proudly.

A corner of Chu Feng’s lips twitched; practice makes perfect? How many times had Yun Muqing fallen for this trick, then? All of a sudden, he felt pity for his wife, since life was hard enough for her without their daughter of ‘black-hearted wool’ complicating things.

“Come on, Daddy, let’s go!” Duo Duo took his hand, bounding in excitement and her eyes full of anticipation. “I want ice cream, doughnuts, macarons, chicken wings—”

Half an hour later, Duo Duo finally got what she wanted and purchased a dozen things with the ‘large sum’ of five hundred that Yun Muqing gave her. After that, she took a single bite out of everything and gave the rest to Chu Feng. “I’m so full.” Duo Duo patted her round belly, looking satisfied.

Chu Feng was speechless; he now understood that some of women’s bad habits were inborn, and it had nothing to do with their age. “Alright, we’ve bought the snacks and spent the money, so it’s time we send you to the kindergarten.” Chu Feng glanced at the watch on his wrist. “We’ll be late if we don’t go now.”

The moment school was mentioned, Duo Duo became dejected and unmotivated. “But I don’t want toContent is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

go to school. I want to play with you.” She took Chu Feng’s hand and pouted pitifully. “Daddy, can’t we rest for just one day? Mommy will never know. Mommy makes me go to school every day, and I still have to go for piano, dance, calligraphy and art classes on the weekends. Poor me...”

Chu Feng felt both resigned and amused, because he’d been the victim of her ‘playing cute’ trick. If it weren’t for the fact that he’d literally just witnessed Duo Duo pulling this trick on Yun Muqing, he’d have fallen for it again. “Duo Duo, it’s wrong to skip classes. That’s not what a good kid would do,” Chu Feng stooped down and explained patiently.

He loved his precious daughter, but he’d never spoil her; a detrimental love like this was not love at all. “Do you want Daddy and Mommy and your teacher to see you as a bad kid?”

“No.”
