Chapter 189 The Father and Daughter's Unique Favoritism Towards Each Other

This is more important than her seeking revenge and killing Shen Qingrong's entire family.

Qiao Xiaoyun was not surprised when she heard Qiao Qiao's question.

After all, they all knew that although Qiao Qiao's physical body was three and a half years old, she was at least nine years old in her previous life, so it was normal for her to be able to sense the strangeness between Qiao Changdong and Grandma Qiao.

However, she hesitated, unsure whether she should tell the young girl what happened that night.

As the older sister.

Qiao Xiaoyun didn't really agree with Qiao Changdong's actions either.

He will not marry or have children.

This seems a bit crazy no matter how you look at it.

This has nothing to do with whether Qiao Qiao is an adopted daughter or whether they are related by blood. It's simply that Qiao Changdong's refusal to get married is something she finds unacceptable.

She also believed that, given Qiao Qiao's character, even if the Shen family came looking for her, she would still acknowledge Qiao Changdong and would not abandon him when he got old.

However, this is not the same as Qiao Changdong not getting married or having children.

Especially since Qiao Qiao is still young and Qiao Changdong is also still young, it's not a big deal if they don't get married or have children.

It wouldn't be a bad thing for the father and daughter to keep each other company.

But what about twenty, thirty, or even forty or fifty years from now?

The girl will grow up, have her own life, and find a partner, so it's unlikely that she will focus her life on Qiao Changdong.

What will Qiao Changdong do then?

Even if, as her little niece said, she wanted to cultivate and wait for her mother to come and pick her up later, but...

What if these things happened while Qiao Changdong was still alive?

Without a wife or children, Qiao Qiao also passed away with her mother... Just thinking about that kind of old age makes her feel desolate and heartbroken, let alone her own mother, how could she bear it?

She believed in her mother's love for her little niece, and she had seen it all over the years. Her mother always gave her the best of everything, and none of her four nephews could compare.

However, loving Qiao Qiao and not marrying Qiao Changdong, nor having children, are two completely different things.

Moreover, Qiao Changqing's situation also plays a role in this matter.

Qiao Changqing's inability to have children was already a major worry for her mother, and now there's Qiao Changdong, who can have children but refuses to get married...

Qiao Xiaoyun sighed softly.

She didn't quite understand why Qiao Changdong made this decision.

Was it because they were frightened by what happened to Chen Yulian?

"Aunt?" Seeing that Qiao Xiaoyun didn't speak for a long time, Qiao Qiao reached out and grabbed her arm, then shook it.

Qiao Xiaoyun snapped out of her daze.

Looking at the little girl in his arms, he asked her with a complicated expression, "Qiaoqiao, Auntie wants to ask you a question first, okay?"

Qiao Qiao nodded.

"When your mother comes to pick you up, will you immediately go with her?"

“Of course not,” Qiao Qiao replied almost without hesitation. “I want to stay with my father until he gets old.”

Even after her father died, she begged her mother if she could take her father's soul with her when she left this world.

She remembered her mother saying that when she died, her mother could leave with her soul, so surely she could take her father with her too.

Just like Qiao Changdong said last time, he wanted to take his daughter with him even in death.

Qiao Qiao felt the same way; even if she were to cultivate and ascend to immortality, she wanted to take her father's soul with her.

This is the tacit understanding between the father and daughter.

It also reflects the unique affection that the father and daughter have for each other.

Of course, Qiao Qiao didn't say this to Qiao Xiaoyun.

She only said, "I will stay with my dad for the rest of my life."

Qiao Xiaoyun laughed when she heard this.

"Then there's nothing to worry about. You can't solve your dad and grandma's problems, so don't overthink it. Just grow up happily and healthily. You can't control anything else anyway."

This matter.

There is no other way unless her mother comes to her senses or her stubborn younger brother gives in.

Telling Qiao Qiao would only make the girl feel more guilty that her father didn't get married because of her.

The little girl has suffered too much in her past and present lives. Like Qiao Changdong, Qiao Xiaoyun only wants this life, and the rest of her life will be full of sweetness.

Even though Grandma Qiao and Qiao Changdong had a falling out and couldn't resolve their differences, she never thought of telling Qiao Qiao about this.

"..." Qiao Qiao.

She tried to act cute, but it was all for naught.

The little girl stuck out her little bottom, nimbly climbed down from the woman's arms, and went off to play by herself.

Qiao Xiaoyun ruffled the little girl's soft, curly hair, both amused and exasperated, and continued playing with her.

Upon learning that Qiao Changdong had left Qiao Qiao at the hotel, Shen Qingyan immediately rushed back to the hotel.

When they returned to the hotel, Qiao Qiao and Qiao Xiaoyun were engrossed in building Lego.

As the door suddenly opened, they both looked over at the same time.

Qiao Xiaoyun raised an eyebrow in surprise when she saw Shen Qingyan, who looked travel-worn, and the steaming bag of roasted chestnuts he pulled out of his pocket.

Unexpectedly, this father was quite thoughtful. Not only did he know that his daughter had brought some delicious food, but he also knew to hold it in his arms and bring it back with him.

Qiao Xiaoyun smiled and stood up, speaking to Shen Qingyan, who was staring at her niece, unable to look away.

"Now that you're back, I'll head over there first. You can play with the baby for a while. We'll be going downstairs for dinner in about an hour."

As Qiao Xiaoyun finished speaking, she glanced at the paper bag he was still holding and offered a few words of advice.

"By the way, don't give your baby too many chestnuts, three to five is enough. She's still young, and eating too many will cause indigestion, and she won't eat her dinner properly."

"Okay, thank you." Shen Qingyan said sincerely.

Qiao Xiaoyun smiled again, glanced at her little niece who was still engrossed in building Lego, and got up and left.

Shen Qingyan placed the paper bag in her hand on the dining table in the living room. Instead of rushing over, she took off her coat, rolled up her sleeves, and went to the bathroom.

After carefully washing his hands and face, and making sure there was no more cold air or dust on him, he picked up the paper bag of roasted chestnuts and walked over to Qiao Qiao.

He was exceptionally tall, and when he walked over, he was like a small mountain, blocking out all the light in front of him. Qiao Qiao had to look up to see him.

Unlike Yan Liti.

Because of Yan Liti's shamelessness and initiative, Qiao Qiao has become quite close to people after spending the last few days together, and can naturally call her "Grandma".

But she always maintained an indescribable distance from Shen Qingyan.

Now, when she sees someone walk to her side, she subconsciously wiggles her little bottom and moves to the side until she stops next to the sofa.

The sofa was a large black leather sofa, and the little girl was wearing a fuchsia knitted cardigan over a white round-neck cotton top, and black corduroy flared pants.
