Jiang Zhi Zhou and Xia Wei rushed to the kindergarten, but before they got there Jiang Cheng Yue called again, letting them know that Man Man had been found .

  "The auntie who takes care of her called . She was found in the park near the school . "

  Jiang Zhi Zhou breathed a sigh of relief . "Was she hurt?"

  "No, but she"s in a very bad mood . I spoke to her over the phone, and she was crying . "

  Jiang Zhi Zhou frowned . "Did you ask her why she ran away?"

  Jiang Cheng Yue sighed . "I haven"t asked . I"ve been too busy comforting her . "

  Jiang Zhi Zhou thought for a moment before asking, "Now that Man Man has been found, will you still be coming back?"

  "Since I"m already at the airport, I will . I"ll be boarding soon . " Though his work in S City was not yet complete, he had just been on the phone with Man Man and felt uneasy about her unstable mental state .

  "When you get home, spend more time with Man Man . We"re incredibly fortunate that nothing happened this time . Let"s not let this happen again . "

  "I know . I have to board now, see you later . "

  "Mmhmm . "

  When Xia Wei saw Jiang Zhi Zhou end his call, she asked, "What happened? Was Man Man found?"

  "Yes . She isn"t in any danger . "

  "Why did she run away?"

  "I don"t know . " Jiang Zhi Zhou furrowed his brow . Man Man was still very young, and her parents often neglected her . It was very bad for her . "I"ll talk to her later . "

  He turned into the next intersection, in the direction of their apartment . When he got home, he clicked on a penguin icon on his computer and finding Man Man online, sent a video request .

  "Little uncle . " Man Man, holding a plush toy, sat on the bed, her eyes red as if she had just cried . Xia Wei leaned in alongside . When Man Man saw her on the screen, she called, "Little aunt . "

  "h.e.l.lo, lovely Man Man . " Though afraid of scaring her, Jiang Zhi Zhou asked, "Why did you run away from kindergarten today? We were all so scared . "

  Man Man flattened her lips, and tears rose up again . "Today I saw a man who looked like Daddy . . . I thought Daddy was here to pick me up . . . "

  Jiang Zhi Zhou felt a pang in his heart, and was at a loss for what to say . Man Man looked at him, hurt visible in her eyes . "I don"t want Auntie to pick me up . I want Daddy . "

  "Daddy is coming by plane and will be home soon . "

  "Man Man doesn"t care about Daddy anymore . Daddy doesn"t want Man Man . "

  Jiang Zhi Zhou saw the tears in her eyes and quickly comforted her . "How can Daddy not want you? Today, when you ran out of kindergarten, did you know how worried your father was?"

  Jiang Man Man pursed her lips and said nothing . Jiang Zhi Zhou tried again . "Man Man, be good now . Little uncle will pick you up another day and make you something delicious . "

  "Okay . But little aunt has to come along too, so I can pretend that it"s Mommy and Daddy picking me up . "

  Jiang Man Man"s childish words. .h.i.t hard . Even after the video call ended, Jiang Zhi Zhou was still distressed . He hugged Xia Wei tight and buried his head on her shoulders . In a m.u.f.fled voice, he promised her, "In the future, I"ll care for our daughter with my whole heart, and will never let her become like Man Man . "
