He hastily finished his meal with pickles and felt somewhat satisfied. To tell the truth, he actually enjoyed this atmosphere.
In the past, his life revolved around healing and endless battles, with few chances to enjoy the warmth of home.
Song Yuwei stood up to clear the dishes, but Qin Han quickly said, "Let me do it, you have to go to work later. Go take a rest!"
Song Yuwei was slightly startled, and before she knew it, Qin Han had already taken the dishes into the kitchen and started washing them.
Mingming stared in astonishment, a big question mark over her little head. She whispered into Song Yuwei's ear, "Mom, is he dumbstruck from a beating?"
Song Yuwei didn't know what was wrong with him. Everything he said and did was strange. The only thing she could think of was that Qin Han wanted money! And not just a small amount!
She wanted to tell Mingming that he had changed, but then thought that if Qin Han didn't get the money, he might hit her again.
If that was the case, why give her this hope?
"Maybe he's had a change of heart," she mused.
"Has he really changed?" The childish voice was full of anticipation.
Song Yuwei didn't say anything. She touched Mingming's little head, looked at her affectionately, and said, "How about going to the company with Mom in a bit?"
Mingming frowned cutely, "That place isn't nice, and Uncle always scolds me."
"Just be good, and if he scolds you, ignore him. We can't afford to offend him," Song Yuwei said helplessly. In the company, although she bore the title of the Song family's precious daughter, she did the most grueling work and had to endure her elder brother's ridicule and bullying.
Many of the company's deals were secured by Song Yuwei, but the credit always went to her elder brother Song Yifan, and she never received any commission, always just a base salary.
Qin Han washed the dishes in the kitchen, and with the replenishment of food, his mind started to work. He pondered how he came to inhabit this body of Qin Han and how he could return. The fate of the eight thousand Core Disciples and the responsibility of protecting the Dragon Nation included too much of his efforts. Now, Qin Han just thought about how he should return.
As for Song Yuwei and her daughter, the previous Qin Han was dead, and their lives would get better. Everyone's fate is different, and Qin Han was never a man of mercy; too many had died at his hands.
Qin Han carefully recalled the battle at that time. Chou Feng had almost exhausted his Inner Strength, so it shouldn't have been difficult for him to defeat him.
And yet, he clearly remembered someone striking him from behind. Who could have sabotaged him in secret?
Upon exiting the kitchen, Qin Han saw them whispering something to each other and said, "How's the injury on your face? Is it all right?"
Song Yuwei, caught off-guard by this sudden show of concern, responded, "It's okay."
"Um... I'm sorry!" Qin Han didn't know what else to say, after all, he and Song Yuwei belonged to two entirely different worlds.
"Huh? Hmm!" Song Yuwei thought she had misheard and hesitated for a while before responding.
"Qin Han, we really don't have any money left at home, and Mingming is about to start kindergarten. All our money has been gambled away by you! I'm not lying to you!"
After saying this, Song Yuwei closed her eyes. She had already prepared herself to face his violent punch, but it didn't come.
"I know. I don't want to repeat that, I really don't want the money!" said Qin Han with a smile towards Mingming, "Mingming, just stay at home with me."
Song Yuwei was shocked again. Now she really didn't know what Qin Han was up to. As for believing that he had really changed, she dared not.
It wasn't disappointment Song Yuwei felt towards Qin Han, but despair. She harbored not the slightest illusion, else the next moment might see her plunging into an abyss.
Turning to Mingming again, Song Yuwei, her face filled with horror, pulled Mingming into her arms and sternly said to Qin Han, "What are you trying to do, Qin Han? Have you gone mad?"
"Huh?" Qin Han just wanted to help her take care of the child, and the little one was indeed cute. He didn't understand why Song Yuwei had such a big reaction.
"Are you even human? If you dare sell Mingming, I will never let you go, even in death! I will call the police!" For the first time, Song Yuwei dared to speak to Qin Han like this, her eyes full of determination, as if to tell Qin Han she meant every word.
She turned to Mingming gently and said, "Mommy is going to change clothes; we'll go to the company in a little while."
Qin Han felt a mix of laughter and tears. What on earth had the previous person done to Song Yuwei? Kindly helping to take care of her child, yet misunderstood as trying to traffic her own biological daughter.
Song Yuwei took out a set of professional attire from the old wardrobe. It was the only decent piece of clothing she owned, work clothes, with the rest being old garments.
Mingming blinked her big eyes looking at Qin Han, cautiously approached him, and asked, "Have you changed for the better?"
Qin Han also nodded quietly, "Yeah!"
"You're not going to hit Mommy again in the future, are you?"
"Mmm, definitely not! Never again!"
The little one's chubby cheeks broke into a smile, and with great solemnity, she beckoned, "Come here!"
Qin Han bent down and brought his face close, Mingming whispered in his ear, "As long as you don't hit Mommy again, I'll call you daddy from now on."
Song Yuwei changed into her clothes, and seeing Mingming whispering with Qin Han, she said, "Mingming, let's go or we'll get scolded for being late."
As she spoke, she bent down to put on her shoes, ready to pick up Mingming and head out.
Qin Han was still crouching, and he was stunned!
From Song Yuwei's neckline, a jade pendant suddenly popped out, now swinging on the delicate chain around her fair neck.
"Wait a second!" Qin Han called out to her. Song Yuwei was puzzled and didn't know what Qin Han intended to do.
"Where did you get this jade pendant from?" Qin Han asked urgently.
"I've always had this jade pendant; it was left to me by my mother when she passed away. Don't you know? Qin Han! Stop thinking about it, this jade pendant isn't worth much, you've already had it appraised before!" Song Yuwei was somewhat angry and turned to leave.
She had it since she was a child?
Qin Han's thoughts drifted back in time. Once, he had been ambushed by someone from the Eternal Life Hall and severely injured, and a woman saved him, hiding him in a trash bin within an alley. In a daze, he hadn't seen the woman's face clearly but saw the jade pendant at her chest. It was the same pendant that hung around Song Yuwei's neck.
He had always been searching for this woman, but had never found her, and he hadn't expected that it would be Song Yuwei!
Qin Han hesitated. Initially, he was absolutely intent on returning, but now he had found the woman who had saved his life that year.
At that moment, a piece of news on the television caught Qin Han's attention.
"The Sect Leader of the Holy Medicine Sect has tragically passed away due to an accident! The position of Sect Leader will be temporarily filled by Wan Qingshan!"
When Qin Han saw the person on the television, his body shook, his brows furrowed deeply, suspecting that someone might have deliberately plotted against him the night before!
After a long while, Qin Han exhaled softly. Perhaps this was an arrangement by the heavens.
Reborn into this body, he had met Song Yuwei, his lifesaver, whose kindness he could never repay.
Moreover, how many hidden forces were there that he was unaware of? It was just right to use this body to uncover the truth!
So, he was not going back!
Hearing Mingming call him daddy, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. He'd grown so big and had never been called daddy before; it sounded so sweet in her childish voice.
Tricky heavens! You've won!
"I swear I'll make sure this mother and daughter have a good life!"
As for that palm strike, he would have to investigate covertly using this body to see who was behind harming him in the shadows!
