Chapter 233 Meeting with Qiao Changdong

Dou Yufeng already knew from Shen Qingyan that Qiao Qiao's adoptive father doted on her.

They're heading in their direction now, so Shen Qingyan can't delay any longer. He has to lead his men to the national highway to meet them.

Dou Yufeng was very reluctant to part with Qiao Qiao and hugged and kissed her repeatedly.

Tan Qian, who was standing nearby, also took the opportunity to lean in and kiss her mother several times.

Tan Yan wanted to follow suit, but his sister slapped him and pushed him two meters away!

It was so angry that it howled in the back.

Then Dou Yufeng scolded him again: "Don't bark like a dog!"

"..." Tan Yan.

I'm so upset I could explode!

Dou Yufeng didn't bother with him and just looked at Qiao Qiao with reluctance in her eyes.

She gently coaxed her, "Sweetie, wait for Auntie. Once Auntie has sorted out all this mess at home, I'll come to Baoyi City to find you."

Although Shen Qingyan said that Qiao Qiao was adopted and was doing well in her adoptive family.

But she still wanted to go and see for herself to express her gratitude.

Consider it done on behalf of Long Yijun.

Qiao Qiao nestled in someone's arms and leaned in to kiss Dou Yufeng's cheek, obediently replying, "Okay, Qiao Qiao will wait for Auntie."

After saying that, she smiled again, looked at the others behind Dou Yufeng, and warmly invited them.

“My dad and grandma are very rich. When Aunt Dou and you arrive in Baoyi City, Qiaoqiao will ask them to treat Aunt Dou, Uncle Tan, Grandpa Tan, Sister Xiaoqian, and Brother Xiaoyan to stay in a big hotel and eat at a fancy restaurant.”

Upon hearing Qiao Qiao's words...

Tan Yan, who was still sulking, suddenly brightened up: "Are you inviting me too, little sister?"

“Of course.” Qiao Qiao nodded.

Tan Heming, standing next to Jiang Xinyue, also looked over with sparkling eyes.

But Qiao Qiao pretended not to see it and turned her gaze away.

Di Zixuan drove us out of Cishui Village.

Shen Qingyan didn't sit in the passenger seat, but in the back seat, holding Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao looked up at the dark circles under her eyes, squirmed in his arms, and was about to speak when she heard Di Zixuan in the driver's seat say, "Chief, why don't you take a nap?"

Qiao Qiao had the same idea, and when she heard Di Zixuan say this, she nodded repeatedly: "I'll sit by myself."

Shen Qingyan showed no intention of letting go.

Instead, he said, "I feel safer holding you. Can Daddy keep holding me?"

"..." Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao fell asleep in Shen Qingyan's arms.

She was fast asleep, unaware that Shen Qingyan, who was holding her, would open his eyes to look at her for a while almost every ten minutes after closing them.

It was as if if he closed his eyes for just a little longer, she would fly away from him.

Di Zixuan, who was in the driver's seat, witnessed the whole thing.

All I could do was sigh helplessly in my heart.

It seems his superior is really going to become a baby-mongering maniac!

He wanted to ask Shen Qingrong how things were going to be handled. Now that Qiao Qiao had been found, it meant that Shen Qingrong hadn't done it. They needed a reason to arrest her.

Although he didn't know what had happened between Shen Qingrong and Shen Qingyan.

However, in Di Zixuan's mind, Shen Qingyan was undoubtedly strong and rational; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to lead their team to achieve numerous military exploits outside.

This was the first time he had seen Shen Qingyan act so recklessly.

Sometimes he couldn't even imagine what the world would have become if they hadn't found the person so quickly this time!

Thinking about this...

Di Zixuan then remembered something else.

Turning to Shen Qingyan, who had opened his eyes again and was staring at his daughter, he said, "Chief, it seems that the old chief fainted last night. After waking up, he was discharged from the sanatorium this morning."

As expected.

They probably found their location and came looking for them.

"knew."

A few seconds later, Shen Qingyan hugged the small body in his arms tightly before coldly replying with this sentence.

Three hours later.

Just as dusk was falling, Shen Qingyan's car finally met up with Qiao Changdong's car.

Qiao Changdong didn't drive his own truck; instead, he rode in the police station's vehicle.

Qiao Changdong's eyes reddened when he saw the military vehicle slowly approaching.

After getting off the car, he ran towards it and ran right up to a little girl who was looking out of the car with her door open, still a bit groggy from sleeping too long.

This time.

No need for the little source in my mind to remind me.

It was almost the instant the father and daughter's eyes met.

Tears streamed down the faces of both father and daughter.

Qiao Qiao trusts Shen Qingyan, but she doesn't rely on him enough.

Qiao Qiao's feelings for Qiao Changdong went beyond mere trust; they were also filled with deep affection.

So when Qiao Qiao sees Shen Qingyan, she is happy and praises him for being so great, for finding her so quickly.

But there's nothing else.

But it was different for Qiao Changdong.

She felt nothing but grievance.

Overwhelmed by grievances and the lingering fear of having her memories almost erased by the laws of the world, she completely broke down when she saw this handsome face that she could hardly remember, but whose memory overwhelmed her at the mere sight of it.

Looking at Qiao Changdong's face, she first pouted in grievance, and then burst into tears.

She cried as bitterly as she could feel.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's all Daddy's fault. I lost my sweet baby again. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Qiao Changdong's heart was clenching with pain.

His voice was hoarse and choked from prolonged dehydration.

He knelt on the ground, holding her tightly in his arms, wishing he could bury her in his very bones!

Tears kept flowing.

Qiao Qiao was sobbing uncontrollably; she was truly heartbroken.

In her entire life, besides being carried onto the operating table and having her heart and kidneys removed, which is an indelible shadow in her life, another shadow was being forcibly taken away from Qiao Changdong's side.

Beside Dou Yufeng.

Even though she knew the other person was a good person, treated her well, and was her mother's good friend, Qiao Qiao was still on edge.

She didn't even dare to cry.

Even when she was begging Dou Yufeng to help her find her father, she tried her best to hold back her tears and not let them fall.

She knew that no one liked a child who cried and made a fuss.

She's already caused trouble for others; she can't let people think she's a crybaby and annoying.

Only when facing his father, and Qiao Changdong.

Qiao Qiao had that confidence that no matter what she did, her father would love her unconditionally, whether she was crying or laughing.

Seeing the father and daughter hugging and crying, the two policemen who were with Qiao Changdong also looked away with a sore eye.

Shen Qingyan, however, looked somewhat dejected.

He originally thought that since his daughter called him "Dad," was willing to be held by him all the time, and would use the money he gave her, she had truly accepted him.
