The Child's Mother

Wang Kuan got back to the hotel, hearing the faint snore from the little girl, he sighed in relief. Today, the two had a lot of fun but all fun comes to an end if the child's mother appears. Wang Kuan covered the little girl's cute little legs with a small blanket and also got on the master bed. He wanted to solve this mystery but, at the same time, scared of the outcome.

He decided to leave it behind and take a rest, to clear his mind. It has been thousands of years since he last felt anxious. Not even facing the mightiest of monsters made him this uneasy. He closed his eyes and slept through the dead of the night.

5 AM

The sound of phone ringing echoed straight into Wang Kuan's ears. He quickly turned the sound off, to not wake Tian'er up. He checked to see it was from his child's mother, he hesitated for a while,

"Wang Kuan," A furious voice came from the phone and Wang Kuan immediately wanted to hang up. A woman's emotions are hard to calm down, Wang Kuan had no choice but to listen to what she wanted to say.

"Wang Kuan, why the hell are you in Shanghai? I came to your apartment and your housekeeper just told me you left for Shanghai," Qing Zhu said ferociously. Uncle Gu must've told her where Wang Kuan and Tian'er were.

'What a bummer!'

"He is not a housekeeper, he's my uncle, you can call him Uncle Gu," Wang Kuan said calmly while as Qing Zhu spoke like she ate gunpowder.

"Why did you not tell me about this?" Qing Zhu said coldly.

"I forgot?" Wang Kuan said in an innocent tone.

"Send the location to my Wechat," Qing Zhu said snappishly and hung up the phone. Wang Kuan sent the location to her phone and got up. He didn't get enough sleep and the woman woke him up. He didn't know whether to blame her or himself for not turning off his phone.

Wang Kuan went to the other room and sat down in peace. He circulated his power and called his Spirit out. Spirit came from his body in its mighty and strong form. He took a deep look at it and he decided to use his Qi to see through the Spirit. He placed his fingers on top of the Spirit's head, it didn't flinch, and Wang Kuan inserted his Qi into the Spirit's memories. He found something really interesting, what he witnessed was not the Spirit's or the Eternal God's memories but someone else that looks nothing like the Spirit. He just read the memories of one of the most well-known heroes, in all of Greek Mythology, the hero Heracles. From his knowledge of History and Mythology, he could tell that the man he was seeing was a Greek warrior and with his strength, it was definitely Heracles.

'It has the appearance of my former self but the memories and power of the demigod, Heracles'

Wang Kuan was immediately shocked but looked through it again and later confirmed that it was indeed the hero. Wang Kuan was even more confused with this. Wang Kuan printed this piece of important information into his brain. He needed to find someone who understands this power and he knew that he was not the only one who has this power, there might be more to this than what meets the eyes.

Wang Kuan withdrew his Spirit and suddenly, something came into his mind,

'Could it be that this body has some sort of secrets that gave me this power?'

Wang Kuan thought but couldn't come to a conclusion yet with this little evidence. Right now, he looked at his bank account and all of the money he got from the boxing match was almost gone. He needed to find a job.

Wang Kuan took out his phone and was scrolling down the potential jobs he could do. It didn't catch even a bit of his interest. An idea flashed in his mind, he must find a job to secure his daughter's future and give her a good upbringing. He is the man in the family, it would not be appropriate to let the woman in the family do all the work.

He thought through and through.

Knock knock knock

'Oh, the food is here,' Wang Kuan woke up from his thoughts and got up to open the door. He opened his door and he did not see the deliveryman but the most dangerous person on Earth, He immediately closed the door.

'Speak of the devil, I might die if I open it,' Wang Kuan felt danger looming towards him.

"Why the hell did you close the door to my face?" Qing Zhu gritted her teeth and said coldly. Wang Kuan slowly opened the door and let Qing Zhu in. Qing Zhu went in and Wang Kuan stood there still. Wang Kuan was staring seriously at her.

When he first opened the door, he saw that the person that stood out the door was a tall beautiful woman that wore a sunglasses.

The beautiful woman had an alluring body. She wore an Alexander McQueen white dress. The white as jade soft fur of the dress was clean and unique. On her feet, she wore a pair of crystal high-heeled shoes. The straight white legs of the beautiful woman were long and slim, so beautiful.

The woman's outfit and style were very fashionable. With a look, Wang Kuan couldn't take her eyes off her. Wang Kuan's gaze sized up and down at the beautiful woman's legs.

"Are you done?" A cold voice suddenly broke the silence.

The person who knocked the door was not the deliveryman and it was instead Tian'er's mother, Qing Zhu.

Wang Kuan still had his eyes on her legs and calmly said, "Why did you come here?".

"Why did I come here?" Qing Zhu said dazedly.

Wang Kuan took one last look at her, he noticed that Tian'er must've inherited her looks from her mother. They looked almost like each other and Tian'er only inherited Wang Kuan's ears and nose. He took notice of that when he observed her for the first time. They haven't been in contact for years, only recently that they got to meet each other.

So it seems that, Tian'er's refined face, beautiful eyebrows, glossy big eyes and lips which were thin like leaf were practically all inherited from Qing Zhu's superior gene.

Suddenly, the room felt extremely cold.

"You asked me why I came here? I should be the one to ask you, why did you come to Shanghai without telling me?" Qing Zhu snapped and Wang Kuan couldn't do anything to calm her down. He felt like the room might burn down at any moment.

"Please take a seat, I'll get you some water," Wang Kuan said and left to pour some water. He wasn't in the mood to argue. He needed to find an excuse.

"Humph, you dared to ignore my questions?" She snorted.

Wang Kuan came back and gave her a glass of water and answered calmly, "I came here because my daughter wanted to go to Disneyland".

"Your daughter? She is my daughter as well," Qing Zhu shouted. Wang Kuan sighed in his heart, He doesn't know what to do anymore. He shushed her, "Can you be a bit quiet? Tian'er is sleeping". Qing Zhu stopped and the awkward silence came.

Originally, Qing Zhu already had a complaint when she went to Hantian City and found out that Wang Kuan and Tian'er were not there. Right now, after hearing Wang Kuan's tone, she wanted to murder him right on the spot.

"Why are you here so early? Didn't you say you would pick her up 6 days later?"

Hearing that, she became even angrier, and said stiffly, "She is my daughter, I can pick her up at any time I want and you an incompetent father have no say in this, I carried her in my womb for 10 months and gave birth to her".

They always say, to never ever quarrel with a woman.

It was the truth that Wang Kuan can't deny. He wasn't there when she was pregnant and when she gave birth. He always felt guilty towards her since they dated. He couldn't treat or ignore her like a stranger. The relationship they have is really complex.

His eyes kept darting to places that men shouldn't look at.

Also, aside from having a delicate face, Qing Zhu's figure was also very curvy, possessing an S shape figure.

The places that 'protrude' out were plump and round, her dress almost couldn't hold it in place. Comparing Qing Zhu now back to when she was in university, her body was much plumper and rounder now. Right now, it kept on attracting Wang Kuan's gaze, and almost to the point that it gave Wang Kuan a kind of desire to drool.

This woman, after becoming a mother, her figure had become extremely attractive and also much appealing.

Qing Zhu face was flushed but was secretly proud after she saw Wang Kuan was looking at her with a perverted look. She, herself, was also looking at him as well. Qing Zhu was surprised to find a mature look on him, unlike the guy who talked rudely and fought with her last time. She was somewhat slightly emotional when she felt that he was like the first time they met.

"Do you want to say something?" She stared at him hoping for something.

"Eh?" Wang Kuan was confused.

"Humph, I want to see my daughter," She blurted out and forgot what she just said but in her heart, she was disappointed in him. Wang Kuan nodded and opened the door to the room.

They came in to find Tian'er sitting while rubbing her eyes, looking adorably cute. The little girl quickly noticed her mommy was here.

"Mommy?" The little girl said happily. Qing Zhu rushed forward and hugged the little girl. Wang Kuan couldn't help but smile. The cold look on her face dispersed in seconds after seeing her daughter.

"Do you miss mommy?"

"Miss very much," The little girl kissed her mommy continuously.

He didn't want to interrupt this warm reunion, he left the two alone and went outside the room. He patiently waited for them.

After a while, the two came out hand in hand.

"Mommy, will daddy go home with us?" The little girl stared.

"Well, your Papa has works to do" Qing Zhu said rubbing her head. Wang Kuan wanted to refute but felt it's best if he back off. The woman here might swallow him alive if he said the wrong words.

"I want Papa to be with Tian'er," The little girl said with tears filling her eyes. Wang Kuan immediately rushed and hugged her," Papa is a bit busy, Papa pick you up when he's done". He rubbed her eyes and kissed her on both cheeks. He consoled the little girl and promised her snacks and candies but she wouldn't stop crying.

Qing Zhu saw the interaction between the two, she felt somewhat happy that Wang Kuan has changed. She glanced at the two and smiled remembering something from the past.

Wang Kuan got up and consoled softly, "Papa will bring you around the world. Papa has to do something in the next days. After Papa is done, he'll pick you up".

"Really?"

"Of course," Wang Kuan smiled tenderly.

"Hehe, Papa has to promise," The little girl took out her pinky finger and Wang Kuan took out his, Wang Kuan made a promise.

Qing Zhu felt warmth in her heart but still kept a calm expression.

Wang Kuan helped pick up the luggage and suitcase.

"Goodbye Papa, don't forget our promise," Tian'er waved her little hands and smiled. Wang Kuan waved back, he was reluctant to part but he needed to do something. He is determined to know more about yesterday.

The mother and daughter went back to Hong Kong as for Wang Kuan, he went back to Hantian City.
