dearest dad, you truly are hopeless.

After a while the father and daughter duo left a little reluctant, even after they didn't do anything fun or exciting they still felt like they should have stayed there a little longer.

Yu xiao yan watched as the two figures walked further and further away from her apartment, she had offered to walk them to their car but Ye Haoran refused because it was late and there was no one to walk her back to the door. She sighed and went back inside after they had finally gone out of sight.

She cleared the table looking listless, although she didn't know why she felt lovely now that the two were gone.

Just as she climbed her bed her phone began ringing, she picked it up without even bothering to check who it was.

"Hello" she spoke as the call connected, but no reply came from the other end, she could hear the person breathe but still the person didn't ulter a word.

"Hello if you don't say anything I'm going to cut the call" she warned cautiously.

" okay I'm cutt_"

"you seem to have really abandoned your family" Yu Xiao Yan sat up immediately she heard the voice from the phone, she could remember this voice even in her sleep, how would she forget the voice of the only person that said something positive to her when the whole family mocked her.

"grandma" She called out softly.

"so you remember I am your grandma, then why haven't you come to see me since you came back?" the old woman's voice sounded angry and displeased.

"I'm sorry" Yu Xiao Yan apologized, she knew giving any excuse would only worsen the situation.

"hmph! at least you know to apologise" she kept quiet after speaking and they both remained like that, each weighing what could be said in their heads.

"it's been six years, do... do you still have us?" Tan yating asked after sometime, although she knew clearly what the answer would be, she still wanted to hear it. She didn't get any answer cause Yu Xiao the remained quiet, she didn't want to lie nor did she want to say the truth so she chose to remain quiet.

"Xiao Yan I know you deserve an apology from the whole family but you many never get one if you don't show us why we should regret what we have done" She paused then continued.

" There's a family reunion coming up two weeks from now, I called to inform you before time so that you could get prepared... if you make up your mind to show up"

"Okay grandma" Yu Xiao the answered calmly, she didn't really put the invitation in mind, in fact she didn't plan on going.

As if Tan yating had heard her thoughts, she sighed and said "Yu Xiao the I want you to remember, if you think you have been wronged then grow strong and give the person the taste of those medicine" She cut the call after giving this last statement.

"Years are for weaklings, actions are for brave hearts, you have to grow strong and prove to everyone that they are wrong about you" Yu Xiao the remembered that her grandmother had said these words to her a few years back.

At that time, Yu zhi ruo accused her if stealing from one of their relative during a family Union and she had cried so bitterly until her grandma had ultered those words, then those words didn't hold any meaning to her nor did she take it serious.

She finally understood it when the 18 year old just pregnant her had to leave the house or when the 19 year old her left the hospital with a dead child. For the past six years those words had been her motto, she swore to make the Yu family regret everything not just by giving them the taste of their own medicine but also by destroying the whole family with her own two hands.

...

The ride back home held an awkward silence between the man and the little child, they both had something to say to the other but we're both reluctant to start the conversation. This is how the father and daughter duo had lived since the beginning of their incomplete family, both of them were always calm and cool towards themselves, they haven't even had a normal conversation with each other.

They got home and each went to do their own things, it stayed that way until it was almost midnight. Ye Haoran was in the study trying to sign some documents but he still kept thinking of Yu Xiao Yan's questions, at the point she asked if he had fallen in love with her, he didn't know what to answer because he couldn't even say he understood what love was but he still said no and now he was regretting it.

"continue like this and you'll remain single for the rest of your life" A childish voice rang out in front of him, he had been too carried away that he didn't see the little girl get in and sit right in front of him.

"I know" he replied and lit a cigarette.

"you didn't at first, it was stupid of you to try and force her into being your girlfriend, you have to take things slowly, pull her close without making it too obvious that you like her, only make it obvious when you've made sure she likes you too" The little girl spoke with a serious expression, it was totally unbelievable that such love advice was coming out of the mouth of a six year old.

"why do you like her?" Ye Haoran asked suddenly. He knows his daughter, if she didn't like Yu Xiao Yan, she wouldn't bother to be having this conversation with him.

The girl asked back "why do you like her?". It was obvious none of them had the answer to this question.

"if you really like her then put your heart into what you're doing or risk her getting snatched away" The girl hoped down the chair and began walking away.

"lingling what is love?" This question had been bugging his mind since he came back and he really wanted to know the answer that he didn't mind asking his mature minded six year old daughter.

The girl paused "hehe asking a six year old what love is, dearest dad you truly are hopeless" She chuckled then left, leaving Ye Haoran chuckling too to his unreasonable question.
