Chapter 152 Daddy, Don’t Go_1
“Sorry, we don’t usually have guests over, so I didn’t prepare any men’s slippers. Please make do with these,” Xu Yixue said to Xu Fan with a slight sense of apology.
Xu Fan shook his head, gently took off Tongtong’s little shoes, and put on the small slippers, but he placed the slippers Xu Yixue handed over on the shoe rack.
“Aren’t you coming in?” Xu Yixue asked Xu Fan with a bit of curiosity.
Although she didn’t really want Xu Fan to come in either, after all, he had had a fierce battle at the zoo today and protected her, Xu Yixue actually felt somewhat grateful to him. Not even stepping inside would indeed make Xu Yixue feel a bit embarrassed.
“I don’t need to change slippers; I can shake off the dust on the soles of my shoes even cleaner than slippers,” Xu Fan said softly.
Ye Xiaoning heard what Xu Fan said and watched him with a bit of curiosity. She had indeed witnessed Xu Fan’s fighting ability, but she had never heard of such a wondrous use of martial skills.
Xu Fan saw the surprised expressions of the two and stayed silent, instantly crouching down and giving a light hop.
With the Qi Force exerted from his feet, through the soles, he vigorously shook off the dust coating the bottom of his shoes in a swift rinse.
Almost instantly, Xu Yixue saw a burst of yellow smoke seeming to come out of Xu Fan’s shoes as he jumped up and then he swiftly entered the room, closing the door with a “bang.”
Ye Xiaoning’s eyesight was a bit sharper than Xu Yixue’s. She saw that the smoke coming from the soles when Xu Fan leaped was not actually yellow smoke but many tiny dust particles that fell so fast they seemed to turn into smoke.
Now with Xu Fan’s feet on the shiny wooden floor, not a trace of dust was left behind, indirectly confirming what Xu Fan had said was true.
“If you can shake off dust from your shoes with your Qi Force, can you also shake off stains from your clothes?” Ye Xiaoning asked Xu Fan with a bit of curiosity.
In Ye Xiaoning’s view, Xu Fan’s ability was almost like an ultrasonic washing machine.
“I can to it with dry stains, but for wet stains, you still need a medium like water to wash them. However, the Qi Force can’t concentrate due to the water, so it’s not possible to shake off stains in water. You can only create a flow by agitating the water, which is pretty similar to the way a washing machine works,” Xu Fan explained indifferently.
“That’s quite impressive,” Ye Xiaoning said to Xu Fan with a bit of admiration.
Xu Yixue also looked at Xu Fan with an impressed but somewhat clueless gaze, not expecting that besides being a good fighter, he had various clever uses, like a human air conditioner, instantly cooling her down when she was hot. And now with this feature, he was like a human washing machine combined with a vacuum cleaner. Xu Yixue felt that the current Xu Fan was really different from before, not just mysterious but also exuding a quality of being caring and family-oriented.
Could it be that knowing he had a child caused such a huge change in a person? Xu Yixue pondered with a hint of confusion.
“Come in first, Tongtong is still asleep, let’s put her on the bed and then talk,” Xu Yixue said gently to Xu Fan, casting aside her doubts.
Xu Fan nodded and followed Xu Yixue from the entrance toward the interior of the house.
Xu Yixue’s home, judging by eye, covered more than one hundred and fifty square meters, and the decoration was rather luxurious, featuring a European style that revealed both meticulous craftsmanship and a modern, technological feel.
Moreover, Xu Yixue’s home was completely managed by smart home technology. All the appliances, refrigerator, air conditioning, lights, curtains, and even the robotic vacuum cleaner were controlled by computer. Just by issuing a command in advance on a mobile phone or setting up a routine, all the household items could be automatically managed.
When Ye Xiaoning had first entered the house, she had already switched on the smart lights inside using her phone, so there was no need to even press the switch upon entering.
Xu Fan looked around Xu Yixue’s room and, although it wasn’t as large as his own, it had a nicer scent, pervaded by a pleasant fragrance unique to his daughter.
“Tongtong’s room is over here, follow me,” Xu Yixue had also slipped into slippers and led Xu Fan to a room next to her bedroom.
This was Tongtong’s room, which had a door connecting it directly to Xu Yixue’s room so that in case of any mishap, Xu Yixue could reach her daughter’s room from her own in no time.
Xu Fan gently opened the door to Tongtong’s bedroom.
The room was not large, significantly smaller than the bedrooms in his own villa, but it was decorated adorably.
After all, being a woman, Xu Yixue paid more attention to such details, and Tongtong’s entire room was designed in a light pink color scheme. The wallpaper was the best soft-pack anti-collision kind, three centimeters thick, so even if Tongtong bumped into the walls, it would be like hitting cotton.
Inside the room were some of Tongtong’s favorite toys and a cozy, small princess bed lavishly decked out like Snow White’s, with several life-sized dolls placed on Tongtong’s bed, taking up more than half of it.
There were toys like Peppa Pig, Winnie the Pooh, a little frog, and others Xu Fan couldn’t name.
Xu Fan tiptoed into Tongtong’s little room and gently laid her down on her own small bed.
No sooner had he let go than Tongtong’s long eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her bright little eyes.
“Daddy? Where am I?” Tongtong looked curiously at her father, seemingly unfamiliar with her surroundings.
Having stayed at Xu Fan’s house for the past few days, Tongtong had grown accustomed to his place, and now, just waking up and coming home, she felt somewhat unacquainted with it.
“Take a good look around and see where you are,” Yixue said softly to Tongtong.
Blinking her large eyes, Tongtong glanced around, her vision no longer hazy like it had been upon waking. Seeing the dolls piled on her bed and the toys from home, she suddenly burst into giggles, “Isn’t this Tongtong’s room? Mommy, have we come home?”
“Yes, you got tired from playing at the zoo, so of course, Mommy had to bring Tongtong back home for beddy-byes,” Yixue said tenderly to Tongtong.
“Yay, Tongtong wants to brush her teeth and wash her face, then go to bed,” Tongtong said cheerfully, making a toothbrushing gesture on the bed and spoke joyfully to Xu Fan.
“Alright, then you take care of Tongtong’s washing up, I’ll head back now,” said Xu Fan, seeing that Tongtong was settled in, and turned to speak to Xu Yixue.
Xu Yixue nodded, and before she could say anything in response, a little shadow sprang up from the bed and clung onto Xu Fan.
“Daddy, you can’t go, how will Tongtong fall asleep if you leave?” Tongtong held tightly onto Xu Fan, speaking with affection.
