As Ye Qian carried Little Qiqi to the road, a taxi suddenly came from the side.
Ye Qian was not worried as the cab stopped a meter from them.
Ye Qian was about to turn in the direction of his house and start walking when Little Qiqi nudged him.
"Papa, wait."
"Huh, what's it Butterfly, what's wrong."
"Papa, see."
Little Qiqi waved at the cab standing on the road with her small hand and pointed out with her tiny finger.
Ye Qian turned around and saw that the door of the cab was opened and a woman came out of it.
The woman was like an angel and seemed to be not older than 25.
She walked out of the cab and to them.
Little Qiqi smiled and extended both her arms toward the lady.
The lady smiled elegantly and also extended her hands towards Little Qiqi.
Ye Qian let go of Little Qiqi and smiled at the lady in front of him.
"You really came in the taxi."
"I didn't want to get your scolding."
The woman said as she carried Little Qiqi in her arms.
"Mumma, you came so early."
Little Qiqi exclaimed as she went into the lady's embrace.
To be precise it was Yuan Meng.
"Yes, I had to come or your Papa might scold me."
"Hehe, Mumma is also teasing Papa now."
Little Qiqi smiled at Ye Qian.
Ye Qian rubbed his nose hearing Yuan Meng's bickering.
"It's good that you came in the taxi and don't do that again."
Ye Qian said as he brought his hand near her head while gently caressing Yuan Meng's hair.
Yuan Meng smiled at his action and felt warn in her heart.
"Hehe, is this what Grandma Xue told to do you, Papa?"
Little Qiqi asked as she watched her parents were having a sweet time.
"Cough!"
Ye Qian felt embarrassed and coughed.
"Yes, Butterfly this is what your Grandma Xue told."
Yuan Meng gazed at both of them clueless.
She was going to ask when a voice came from behind her.
"Hey, did you come now to pick Qiqi up?"
Ning Wei frowned.
"Hehe, aunt Wei!"
Little Qiqi exclaimed as she saw Ning Wei came walking toward them.
"En no, Butterfly, wanted to come to here so I brought her here and after her school was released."
Ye Qian said as he looked lovingly at Little Qiqi.
Yuan Meng smiled, she knew Little Qiqi won't directly go to their house after school and would urge Ye Qian to come to the Old Age Home but she didn't know that they would stay for so long.
She looked at Little Qiqi and patted her head.
"So did Qiqi meet all the grandpa and grandma's?"
"Yes, Mumma they even did a small play it was so good."
Little Qiqi's eyes shone as she said.
Yuan Meng smiled at her, she knew that the people did small dramas to teach Little Qiqi some moral values.
She also liked that idea.
Meanwhile, Ning Wei glanced at the trio.
"I thought something wrong forgive me for not knowing the thing thoroughly."
Ye Qian smiled and waved his hand.
"No no, it's alright what you said was because you care for Butterfly."
"Do you stay nearby?"
"Hmm yes!"
Ning Wei said as she rubbed Little Qiqi's cheeks.
Yuan Meng smiled at Ning Wei.
"Why don't you bring your family to our home today for dinner, I need to thank you for taking care of Mengmeng and Qiqi for all this while."
Ye Qian said as he gave a slight bow to her.
"There is no need for such a thing, besides Yuan Meng and I are like sisters."
"And why do you bow so much?"
Ye Qian scratched his head and laughed.
"Emm, it's an old habit."
"But you need to come for dinner today."
"I told you there is no need for such things."
Ning Wei was still rejected.
Ye Qian turned to Yuan Meng and smiled.
Yuan Meng quickly understood and said to Ning Wei.
"Sister Wei, why don't you come, Little Jia will also play for some time with Qiqi."
"Um, I think it might be inconvenient to come, besides won't you have to make the food."
"Hehe, Sister Wei doesn't need to worry about that and it's only you and Little Ji, why would it be inconvenient."
Yuan Meng tried to reason with her as she handed Little Qiqi to Ye Qian.
"Alright, if you insist I will come at 9, by that time I will help Little Jia to complete her homework and bring her with me."
"That's fine we can talk at the table later."
Yuan Meng smiled.
"Ok, then I must go now, see you guys soon."
After saying her goodbye Ning Wei entered the car.
"Bye, Aunt Wei, come with big sister Jia soon ."
Little Qiqi waved at her as she entered the cab.
Ning Wei smiled and waved her hand.
The door closed and the cab started to drive.
"So should we go now?"
Yuan Meng asked after the taxi left.
"Why not!"
Ye Qian turned as he carried Little Qiqi with one hand.
He then extended his other hand towards Yuan Meng while holding his bag of other things with the hand holding Little Qiqi.
Yuan Meng glanced at him and then at his hand and did it twice.
Ye Qian smiled at her and caught her hand in his as he started to walk toward their house.
Yuan Meng was still in a daze as to what should she do when Ye Qian held her hand tightly and started to walk.
She also followed him still now knowing how to react.
'How many years have passed since I missed the feeling of him holding my hand, the feeling of relying on him? This warmth that he gave to my heart. This really is happening again the years of awaiting have only deepened the feeling and now everything is back for me.'
'And he still has the same warmth for me.'
A smile appeared on Yuan Meng's face as she thought.
Meanwhile, Little Qiqi smiled as she saw her Mumma's smile.
'Grandma Xue was right, Mumma must also have Papa's love, Mumma has also missed Papa so much.'
__________
With all the shades of red mixed with the blues and yellows, it was about time when the Sun was about to set.
A couple was walking hand in hand with each other, taking light steps apparently not disturbed by the surroundings and walking as the time appeared to be running slow for them.
As they walked hand in hand, Yuan Meng slightly tilted her head and placed it on Ye Qian's shoulder after a few minutes.
Little Qiqi also smiled and didn't make any sound not to disturb them from their moment.
'Mumma is so happy, Qiqi has never seen her smile like this, Mumma is not worried too.'
'Qiqi is so happy for Mumma and Papa. Now Qiqi will always have a full family, soon Qiqi will tell Papa to bring grandma and grandpa home too.'
'That will be so good.'
She then turned to Ye Qian who was walking slowly not to make any discomfort for Yuan Meng as she placed her head on his shoulder.
Ye Qian also had a smile on his face as he walked.
'Papa loves Mumma so much, just like Mumma loves Papa.'
'If only Papa was with Qiqi and Mumma for a long time then Mumma wouldn't have needed to work so hard for Qiqi.'
'Mumma has not received love and care for so long time, Qiqi must not disturb Mumma and Papa when they are having some time together. Even if it is washing dishes and cooking.'
'Grandma Xue said Mumma will forget all her worries after some time as she spends more time with Papa. And Qiqi doesn't want Mumma to worry even a tiny little bit.'
Meanwhile, Ye Qian was happy about everything and continued to walk.
'Mengmeng, I won't let you work now, though you haven't told me until now I can feel that some things are bothering you, and I know you won't talk to me about that, don't worry; if anyone tries to bother you, I will definitely not let them off so easily. I can remain calm when someone is trying to suppress or be cold to me but if anyone ever dares to have thoughts about you they will definitely have their tolls.'
Ye Qian's eyes flashed with a severe gaze.
As Little Qiqi was thinking of letting her parents have some time together more, a few people were following them since Yuan Meng stepped out of the taxi, there were a total of eight men.
And from the looks of it, they didn't seem to have nice motives.
