In the banquet hall, which was silent just a while ago.
A commotion was stirred due to the cries of two people.
But right now, the direction of the cries had turned into something quite dramatic.
Everyone stared at Miss Yun who had just said a few words which made everyone shut their mouths up.
And that was extremely true for the person to whom these words were intended towards.
"Qiqi, don't listen to that aunt, she is just talking nonsense, don't you remember what I told you about your Papa?"
Miss Yuan shook her head and placing both her palms at the sides of her daughter's face said with a gentle smile.
"Mmm."
Just as Miss Yuan said this, the little girl gave a slight nod, but not long later, a voice again continued.
It precisely came from the same direction where Miss Yun stood.
One didn't need to know that it was her again.
"Haha, if that is true then tell your daughter where is her father, haha, just a fatherless child, completely spoiled my dress."
The little girl who had just calmed down had her little heart stirred once again as she looked at her mother with start eyes.
"Mumma, where is Papa, can you tell Qiqi?"
Meanwhile, a few teachers also started to mumble.
"I heard that Miss Yuan's husband died?"
"Yeah, it is true, but eheh, do you think that it's as said, it might also be some other reason."
A few people who were obviously waiting for this completely gave off their hearts to cause even more trouble.
Miss Yuan bit her lips as her eyes turned red from the thought of her husband who no know knew about.
Her palms gripped into tight fists enough to reveal the veins on her hands but after a moment she breathed out and said to her daughter.
"Qiqi, your Dad promised you that he will always be there with us, but right now, he is a bit busy, but he will come."
Miss Yuan knew that if she were to tell her daughter that her father had died long before she even came into this world then all of the little worlds that she had imagined for their small family would crumble into nothing.
And she would not want her daughter to suffer something like this.
Something that she was clearly aware of and had experienced it personally.
"But Mumma, if Papa promised Qiqi that he would be there, then where is he now?"
The little girl asked innocently, she was oblivious to what had really happened and all this long her mother would tell her of the promise that her Papa had made to her when she was in her mother's womb, but she was already so old, but she had never seen her Papa even for a moment.
And nor had she heard his voice.
All she had seen him was in photos that her Mumma showed her and the on which she held in her arms while she slept off daily.
Other than that, her Papa had never come to meet her, nor had he ever called her like anyone else's father either.
But now that she had been given the chance to hear about her Papa the little girl's heart didn't think of the previous incident at all and was completely focused on things related to her Papa.
"That is because he left you and didn't want to have you."
Miss Yuan wanted to say something, but before that, a voice entered everyone's ears.
The voice was crisp and clear, but this time it didn't belong to Miss Yun from before.
Miss Yuan, Miss Ning and Little Qiqi all turned to the source of the voice.
There was a young man in his mid-30s who stood there with a serious look on his face.
Although no one noticed it, there hung a cold glint in that man's eyes.
He then continued with a sullen face as if he deeply regretted it.
"Miss Yuan, no matter how much you try to hide this from the little girl, there would be someday when she would have to face the reality."
"And when the time comes, it will hurt her even more, so you should let her know what it really is, the earlier she learns the better it would be for her."
Mr Yang's words carried a hint of sympathy anyone would think that he was worried about Little Qiqi, but that was not the same for the two people present in the hall.
Namely, Miss Yuan and Miss Ning.
"Mom, what is that uncle saying?"
Little Jia who was beside Miss Ning asked hearing the words
"Don't hear his words."
Miss Ning shook her head and closed her daughter's ears, if she could have the ability, she would have already done the same to Little Qiqi as well.
But now she could only sigh in her heart knowing just what kind of tsunami would the little girl's heart would be facing in all this confusion.
"Mumma..."
Little Qiqi stared at her mother's face which had turned pale while her eyes had turned red.
Right now, Miss Yuan didn't have anything to say and could not even think of even anything.
Her mind was completely clouded with the thoughts of her husband and what her daughter might be facing right now in her heart with all this suddenly being revealed in front of her at such a time.
"Mumma, is it true that Papa will never come to see Qiqi?"
The little girl asked with her palms close to her chest.
"Umm hmm, sweetheart, you need to know that your Papa never breaks his promise, even if he is late, he will surely keep his word."
Miss Yuan said and after a moment continued with her voice shaking.
"He has always been doing so."
"Miss Yuan, how long can you keep this up, if the little girl someday really knows the truth then only you can be blamed for all this."
Mr yang said with a sorrowful voice, his expression seemed as if he was deeply pained.
