"Lil Fei, what's the matter?" Yi Qianjin's child-like voice rang in Hao Jifei's ears.
He came back to his senses and quickly looked at the person in front of him.
"Did you hear what I told you?" she asked.
"What?" he asked.
"My birthday is only a week away. You mustn't forget to give me a present!" The little one asked for a present.
"A present?" He froze.
"No present?"
Hao Jifei instantly felt a pang of guilt when her beautiful almond-shaped eyes blinked, looking disappointed.
It was as if it would be a heinous crime if he did not give her a birthday present.
"What... What present do you want?" he asked in a stammer.
"You can only make it a surprise if I don't know what you’re getting me. When the time comes, you have to give it to me in front of everyone!" she spoke like a small grown-up.
She could not help smiling as she spoke.
He looked blankly at her smile. There was... no way he could give her a present in front of everyone because he could not even attend her birthday party.
However, his mouth could not help saying ‘okay’ because he did not want to see her smile turn into disappointment.
‘Will I be able to buy Lil Jin a present if I have money?' His little hand clutched the piece of paper tightly as he thought of it.
'The man I'm supposed to call my daddy sounds like a rich man. Will the man give me money if I ask for it?'
However, what the little one did not know was that Shen Weifang was looking at him through the window of a black car parked nearby.
The little one looked up and said something to a woman passing by. Then, she took out her phone, took the paper from the little one's hand, and made a call.
Soon, Shen Weifang's phone started ringing in his hand and a woman's voice sounded. "Hello, Sir. Your son is alone on the street. He asked me to call this number and ask you to come here and pick him up."
The woman gave him the location, and the little one's melodious voice rang out. "Daddy, I'm Jifei. Could you come and get me?"
