Chapter 474 - 253: A Leaf Before the Eyes_3
Jingjing and Ming Wa were playing at the entrance of Wangjiang Building. The two toddlers were riding in walkers, dashing around, with Shan Dian and Monkey Sister chasing after them. Qian Yixiu and Monkey Brother stood there, giggling, while Cheng Yue sat by the door silently watching them.
When she looked up, she saw a very handsome and somewhat familiar man standing not far away. The bright red plum blossoms set off his white clothes, making them even more snow-like. Was this the man whom she felt inexplicably sad upon seeing?
He looked both like and unlike him.
Because he had tied his hair atop his head with a single piece of green jade, without wearing the Eight-treasure Purple Gold Crown. She couldn’t see the large, round pearl that adorned the crown, and his presence seemed far less objectionable than before.
Seeing his daughter staring blankly at him without leaving, Prince Consort Pan took a few more steps forward. He stopped about three or four steps away from Cheng Yue because Cheng Yue had already stood up.
Cheng Yue pursed her lips and said, "Don’t come closer. Even though you’re not wearing that large pearl, Yueyue still doesn’t like you."
Sister-in-law Huang, seeing what was happening, immediately led the servants and the two nursemaids, who were holding the children, away. She was very keen; even though she had never asked a single question, from the resemblance between Mr. Pan and Cheng Yue, as well as the demeanor of the entire household, she had discerned that these two were very likely father and daughter.
Qian Yixiu didn’t leave; she had to stay to watch over her mentally unclear mother. However, she also knew to make herself scarce, retreating to stand under the banana tree beneath the window. This was not a moment for her to steal the scene.
Prince Consort Pan looked at his daughter without misjudgment. Even though she still didn’t recognize him, even though she still harbored such aversion toward him, he was already very content. After all, his daughter was living well, had married a decent man, and had given birth to three lovely children. There would be more days to come...
Prince Consort Pan said, "Yueyue, think about it carefully. I am your father."
Cheng Yue blankly looked at him for a moment, stubbornly responding, "You’re not Yueyue’s father. Yueyue’s father lives in the main courtyard. Although his legs are broken and he doesn’t look as handsome as you, his eyes smile when he looks at Yueyue. He is kind to Yueyue, to grandma, and to the children. Yueyue likes that father."
