Yi Qianjin looked shocked and was at a loss for words for a long time. Ling Yiran hugged her daughter, feeling sorry for her. Then, she looked at Shen Weifang and said, "Why don't you let me talk to Lil Fei, Mr. Shen? Maybe he'll be willing to meet us afterward."
"I don't think that's necessary. Lil Fei might be a child, but he's sensitive. He might need some time to recover from this injustice. I don't want him to suffer any emotional damage if you were to bother him too much. He's my son, and I should protect him, right?" said Shen Weifang.
"But we mean no harm, Mr. Shen! We just want to tell him the truth and apologize to him," said Ling Yiran.
"I'll tell him the truth and send him your apologies. I suppose that should be enough," said Shen Weifang before getting up. "I’ve ordered some specialties of Deer City. You should try them since you don't come here often. I have other things to attend to, so I won’t be joining you. You can talk to the restaurant manager if you want to explore Deer City. He'll arrange a tour guide and transport for you."
Shen Weifang walked out of the restaurant once he finished talking.
Ling Yiran did not expect the trip to Deer City to end like this.
Yi Qianjin looked up pitifully. "Daddy, Mommy, boo-hoo... Lil Fei doesn't want to see us. Is he still mad at me? Are you sure we won't get to see him?"
Ling Yiran was just about to say something when Yi Jinli spoke first, "Maybe next time. We'll ask Lil Fei if he would like to see you after Uncle Shen conveys your apology and Lil Fei's anger has subsided. Won’t that be better?"
"But..."
"I... I want to stay here anyway!" The little one hugged Yi Jinli's waist and said affectionately, "What if Lil Fei wants to see me after he finishes his class? He won't be able to find me if we leave. Daddy, why don't we stay for one night and go back tomorrow?"
His daughter looked up with her face that was similar to Ling Yiran's. Those almond-shaped eyes of hers were especially similar. Her aggrieved and pitiful eyes seemed to cause Yi Jinli's words of protest to be stuck in his throat. He was unable to say them out.
It was as if was looking at a mini Yiran begging him.
If it were his two sons, Yi Jinli might have refused without hesitation and insisted on going back to Shen City.
