“Tianyi, how are we going to solve this matter?”
Chu Piaoyun turned to Chu Tianyi who had been quiet.
Chu Tianyi pondered for a moment before answering her in an indifferent tone, “There is no way that I’m going to give Wan Wan to He Yi! Anqi has to apologize in public if this gets out!”
“What?” Su Anqi almost exploded and she opposed strongly. “You want me to apologize to He Yi? Over my dead body!”
Looking at Su Anqi’s firmness, Chu Tianyi gave her another option to solve the matter. “Or, we can separate for a while and we’ll talk again when this cools down.”
“Tianyi?” Su Anqi gasped with disbelief. “You’re asking to separate because of that wench?...”
“I’m doing it for Wan Wan!” Chu Tianyi paced to Wan Wan with her head low to carry her. “This is the only solution by far!”
Since the abuser was Su Anqi, he would only require to prove that he cared about Wan Wan with his actions to ruin He Yi’s plan to obtain Wan Wan’s custody.
Surprised that Chu Tianyi would do that for her, Wan Wan looked up abruptly with disbelief and emotions in her huge eyes. Tears were almost falling out of her eyes as she sobbed, “Daddy…”
“Aunt, me and Wan Wan will go back first.” Chu Tianyi bid farewell to Chu Piaoyun before giving Su Anqi a glance and said coolly, “You and Ke Ke should stay here and think of the solution!”
Then, he left with only Wan Wan in his arms, even Chu Chu was left there.

After leaving Chu Piaoyun’s house, Chu Tianyi got into his car and ordered his driver to drive him home as he rubbed between his eyebrows.
“Daddy, are we the only ones to go home?” Wan Wan looked up and caught his finger with her tiny hand as she asked softly.
She really hoped that she could be alone with her father at home! It was her wish to live with her father without her spiteful stepmother, crybaby brother, and arrogant aunt. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢
The number of times she spent time with her father alone ever since she could remember was less than ten times.
Chu Tianyi smoothed her tiny head and replied, “Good girl.”
“Thank you, daddy!” Extremely moved, Wan Wan snuggled against Chu Tianyi’s chest happily. All her sadness and resentment disappeared and the moment of her sitting in her father’s lap felt permanent.
“Wan Wan, tell me if Aunt hits you the next time, I will take care of it,” promised Chu Tianyi as he caressed the red marks on Wan Wan’s cheeks with his fingers.
“I will.” Wan Wan nodded gratuitously as her father finally had a proper stance to disallow Su Anqi to beat her when she had always been beating her as she liked when Chu Tianyi was not around.
Su Anqi was exceptionally cunning and she would make sure that it would not be visible to Chu Tianyi if she beat Wan Wan. The reason she lost control and slapped Wan Wan four times that day was because she was over agitated. The marks on Wan Wan’s cheeks were still visible despite applying anti-inflammatory ointment and that was also the reason Chu Tianyi and Chu Piaoyun became hostile and bitter to Su Anqi.
Chu Tianyi waited until Wan Wan’s emotions stabled before he shifted his attention to the teddy bear in her arms. “That thing…can you get rid of it?”
Wan Wan was stunned and she looked up with confusion. “Why?”
“I told you that I don’t want you to have any contact with that woman and I don’t want you to take her gifts!” Chu Tianyi appeared composed but there was a coldness in his tone which meant his order could not be defied.
Wan Wan held the teddy bear with one hand and her father with another. She seemed to be conflicted to lose either one of them. “Daddy, but I…I like this teddy bear…”
She remembered that Chu Tianyi would usually buy things that she liked and give them to her generously since she was young. He might not be a loving father, but he had been very generous in terms of materials.
However, Chu Tianyi was firm this time and there seemed to be no room to negotiate. “I can buy you a new one but this one has to go! Wan Wan, throw it away!”
Stunned, Wan Wan did not move, the teddy bear remained in her arms.
Chu Tianyi was never a patient person. Realizing that Wan Wan was not following his order immediately, he grabbed the teddy bear and hurled it outside the car window without any hesitation.
Having her toy snatched away, Wan Wan only bit her lips and sobbed with constraint instead of crying out loud like a typical child. She retracted her hand from Chu Tianyi and curled to another corner of the car seat as she cried silently.
Looking at Wan Wan’s sad face, Chu Tianyi became annoyed when he thought about the reason. Then, he shut his eyes to rest instead of comforting her.
The pair sat in the car, one cried silently as the other shut his eyes while pretending to sleep. The atmosphere became tense and cold.
The joyous alone time with her father brought her pain and sadness instead. Wan Wan realized that she missed He Yi a lot.
Her mother who was separated from her since young had loving eyes and a gentle voice. Wan Wan remembered her sweet, soft kiss, and her intense confession kept ringing in her ears.
“Wan Wan, Mommy loves you!”

The living room of the Fang family’s house.
Su Anqi started wailing and complained to Chu Piaoyun after Chu Tianyi left with Wan Wan. “Aunt, you saw that, right? Tianyi is asking to separate because of such a trivial matter! He must be hypnotized by that wench to think that they are right and my actions are too much!”
“Don’t you think that your actions are too much?” Chu Piaoyun was unmoved and she sneered, “You have to think of a way to compensate for getting yourself into this trouble! Separating temporarily is the most efficient solution so far unless you have a better idea!”
Chu Chu comforted Su Anqi and said to Chu Piaoyun, “How is all this Anqi’s fault? It is clearly stemmed from He Yi’s provocation so she should be the one responsible! I’m puzzled, how can she act so rampantly when she’s just an ex-convict? Aunt, you should get your men to teach her a lesson so that she stops stirring up trouble!”
Fang Yuan coupled with her immediately, “She’s right, a wench like her deserves some lesson. Let’s give her a taste of the Chu family’s power so that she knows her place!”
Chu Piaoyun sat there upright and reprimanded sternly, “The last incident hasn’t been settled yet, those men are still in jail! Things are becoming complicated because of Young Master Yi’s involvement, even Tianyi could not do anything about it. We are just looking for more trouble if we get people to teach her a lesson now!”
Chu Chu became angry the moment Young Master Yi was mentioned. “I wonder what tricks that wench used to get Young Master Yi to do things for her, how shameless! I should find a chance to get him and Brother to see her true colors and lose hope in her!” ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣o𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢
Su Anqi’s eyes lit up as an idea struck her. “That’s simple! We can’t force her, but we can persuade her! We can get an attractive man to seduce her, I don’t think that she will be able to hold herself. She has the video and we’ll have her lewd pictures, that’ll be fair!”
