Chapter 824: Did Not Like Aunt Han

Unlike the bustling Li Garden, the castle was very quiet at the moment. The servants had all gone home to celebrate the New Year, and the babysitter also went home on holiday yesterday. There were only two security guards and a cook left in the castle: a couple of men who didn’t have any knowledge about taking care of children at all. At the moment, the three of them were playing cards in the hall, enjoying themselves very much.

Xixi stood alone at the gate of the castle, her eyes fixed at the long road in the distance for a long time.

She pursed her mouth, holding the doll tightly in her arms. It was a delicate doll, bought for her by her dad not long ago. The doll was very beautiful with blonde hair, wearing a yellow princess dress. Xixi liked to braid her doll and change her hairstyle. She also gave a name to the doll, Hetty.

“Hetty, look, nobody’s playing with me.” Xixi said to the doll. Beneath her curving eyelashes were a pair of watery eyes which seemed to be talking.

The doll was there in the arms of Xixi, motionless.

A lifeless toy certainly could not interact with its owner.

Xixi, however, did not care.

“Hetty, today is the New Year. You’re so pathetic. You don’t have any new clothes to wear, nor do I.”

“When I go to the children’s amusement park, I’ll buy you new clothes.”

Xixi kept talking to her toy and talking to herself for a long time until a car she was familiar with came toward the castle.

She looked at that car, dad’s car, but she was not very excited.

Dad didn’t come home very much nowadays, just occasionally. She didn’t even remember when he came back last time.

Xixi watched dad getting out of the car. Instead of running over and holding dad’s leg as before, she just watched there.

Upon getting down from the car, Ye Hao saw his daughter there at the gate, standing alone.

He frowned, feeling upset beyond words, as if some sand had gone into his eyes.

“Xixi…” He called his daughter from afar. He loved his daughter very much.

Xixi also shouted, “Daddy”.

“Baby, where are grandma and aunt Han?” Ye Hao found that the house seemed unusually quiet, with the sound of security guards and cook playing cards audible only.

“Grandma and aunt Han together with Ye Chenyu had gone to grandma’s.” Xixi said lightly.

Ye Hao doubted, “Why didn’t Xixi go?”

Ye Hao suddenly became a little angry. How could they leave the child at home alone?

“I don’t want to go, dad. I don’t like aunt Han. I don’t want to talk to her.” Xixi hummed and told dad her real thoughts. She indeed didn’t like aunt Han, not in the least.

Ye Hao was stunned there. The child’s words were like a thorn piercing his heart, causing a faint pain.

For a moment, he did not know how to answer the child. He could simply hold the child in his arms, and then took her into the car he had just driven back.

“Xixi, dad will take you to eat delicious food.”

Ye Hao put Xixi in the safety seat, started the car and drove toward the downtown area.

Xixi sat quietly there with her doll in her arms. She didn’t want to talk along the way, not even saying a word until she arrived at the gourmet center.

Today was New Year’s Eve. Many local people in Ye City had chosen to order New Year’s Eve dinner in the restaurant. Therefore, unlike shopping malls, it was quite noisy and bustling here in the gourmet center here.
