Chapter 4767 Never Too Late to Love (174)
Mu Yazhe did not force her. For some reason, Mu Yueyao would only feel settled when she was by his side. She had grown silent and stopped crying. She wrapped her arms around his waist and sobbed quietly, full of grievance.
He gently tapped the bridge of her nose and asked, "Are you done having fun?"
"I'm done…"
"Come home with Daddy then?"
At this, Mu Yueyao violently shook her head.
He broke into laughter. "What's wrong? Is there a tiger at home? Don't you want to go home?"
"Yes there is." Mu Yueyao said solemnly, "I'm worried that Mommy will kill me."
Mu Yazhe consoled her, "Mommy doesn't know that you're mucking around outside."
"Eh? Why?"
"Your big brother kept it a secret from her. He told her that you went on vacation."
"Then how did you come to know about it?"
He raised an eyebrow and reminded her with some exasperation, "He's been running around in circles these past few days. Although he pretends to be calm in front of your mommy, how can he hide it from me? I saw your car in the basement, it tells me that you're at the Moon Palace."
Realization suddenly dawned on Mu Yueyao. She lowered her head in guilt and sadly admitted her mistake. "I'm sorry for making Daddy worry again."
"If I could…" Mu Yazhe drew her to him tightly. "I'd be more than happy to worry for the rest of my life."
When Mu Yueyao heard this, she felt a tightening in her chest. For some reason, it made her a little sad. She didn't dare look at him. After the effects of alcohol subsided a little, she immediately felt that her behavior over the past few days was rather willful.
Mu Yazhe put his arm around his daughter as he lamented silently. This daughter was very special to him. This was the pregnancy which he had nurtured together with his wife for ten months.
Ever since the day of Yun Shishi's pregnancy, he took good care of her while wondering if the baby in her womb was a son or a daughter.
He held Mu Yueyao's hand with much emotion. Her fingers were slender, fair, and delicate. Such a beautiful hand also told him that his beloved daughter had finally grown up. The princess in the castle, who was ignorant of the world, was finally experiencing love and desire. She would be dejected over matters like relationships.
He remembered that when she was just born, her small and fragile body was barely big enough for him to hold with both hands. Now, she had grown to be such a slender and elegant young lady.
Time had passed too quickly. It was like quicksand on his fingertips. He could not hold it back at all.
The man gently tucked her hair behind her ear and said gently, "You'll always be Daddy's princess. Of course, Daddy will sense your unhappiness."
When Mu Yueyao heard this, for some reason, her tears started to flow again. Her eyes were clearly hurting from crying, but her tears would not stop. She put her arms around his shoulders and sobbed. "I don't want to get married in the future. I want to be with Daddy and Mommy for the rest of my life."
The man almost blurted out "great" when he heard this! He had hoped more than anything that his daughter wouldn't get married.
There is an old saying, that when one gives birth to a son, one would be happy for all of two days. The first would be on the day of the son's birth, and the second would be the day of the son's marriage. Furthermore it's also said that when one gives birth to a daughter, one would be happy from the day his daughter arrives until the moment she gets married. The rest of the time is melancholic.
But he understood that his daughter only said those words in a moment of impulsiveness. He was only a passerby in her life. The day would come when another man would hold her hand.
