Chapter 15 Pampering_1

After switching seats, this was Gu Qingya's first time sitting in the passenger seat, and she felt a surge of youthful excitement.

Having assessed the traffic conditions while driving, Yang Yi thought to himself with relief, "It's a good thing I was into cars before and not into watches! Otherwise, I'd have no way out now!"

The kindergarten called again; the teacher, not in the mood to coax Yi Yi after Gu Qingya's harsh tone earlier, passed the phone to Gu Qingya.

"Mommy! Mommy! When are you coming? Yi Yi is so hungry."

Over the phone, Yi Yi's whiny, childlike voice came through, eliciting sympathy.

Gu Qingya was a doting mother, and hearing those words nearly brought tears to her eyes.

Seeing Gu Qingya's reaction, Qing Ming tried to comfort her while driving, "Yi Yi, Daddy will be there soon. Walk to the gate with your teacher slowly, and when you get there, Daddy will be there too, okay?"

"Yay! Yay!" Yi Yi clapped and cheered over the phone.

However, Gu Qingya gave Yang Yi a stern look. Everyone knows it's wrong to lie to children.

After hanging up the phone, she immediately questioned Yang Yi, "How could you lie to Yi Yi like that! Aren't you afraid she'll be upset?"

It was impossible for Yang Yi not to love Yi Yi, and Gu Qingya could see that. But she didn't want her child to be educated through deceit.

Yang Yi nodded earnestly, agreeing with Gu Qingya's point of view, then said, "Wife, hold on tight, we'll be there in at most eight minutes!"

A perplexed Gu Qingya felt a bit bamboozled and immediately frowned, "What do you mean? With this traffic jam, eight minutes?"

Sensitive to deception, Gu Qingya quickly frowned and asked, "Yang Yi, do you know what's most important to me in accepting you?"

Driving the car and responding at the same time, Yang Yi asked calmly, "What is it?"

"Honesty and reliability! I don't like someone who's full of hot air!"

Gu Qingya's stern gaze turned toward Yang Yi as she spoke with seriousness.

Yang Yi pressed his lips together. Of course, he was aware and responded sincerely, "I haven't lied to you or to Yi Yi!"

Just then, with a "bang!" the entire Mercedes tilted, startling Gu Qingya into thinking there had been an accident.

But she soon saw the tilted Mercedes racing steadily along the road, astonishing everyone.

Yang Yi, who was driving seriously, said earnestly to Gu Qingya, "I've always been honest. Wife, you know I am a member of the Yang family!"

His tone was sincere: "The Yang family stands at the pinnacle of the world's ten great families. Although I am born out of wedlock, I have never lacked luxury cars! I started racing cars when I was twelve."

The Gu Qingya of the past had barely understood Yang Yi's history, but hearing all this now, she was profoundly shocked.

Yet she also felt the distance between them increasing, as if she was starting to not recognize him.

Seeing Gu Qingya's mood, Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "Wife, that's all in the past! I've cut ties with the Yang family long ago!"

"Do you know who I love the most now?" Yang Yi suddenly asked.

This question caught Gu Qingya off guard, and it took her a long while to murmur, "You? You're a down-and-out young master from a wealthy family? With excellent medical skills?"

To these comments, Yang Yi just smiled dismissively, "What I love most is you and Yi Yi! My parents are no longer here, so now it's a new life. Let's be happy together!"

As he spoke, Yang Yi had another thought that he kept to himself: he was determined to eliminate any threat to his life, and that meant not sparing his own family—the Yang family.

The atmosphere had been terribly tense, but thankfully, with a "thud!" the car landed smoothly at the school gate.

Arriving just as Yi Yi stepped out of the school, Yang Yi and Gu Qingya made it on time, and a delighted Yi Yi ran over joyfully.

Yang Yi got out of the car and scooped her up in his arms, his voice full of affection, "Yi Yi, did you get into mischief at kindergarten again?"

Yi Yi giggled, "Daddy, my classmates all say you're Superman! They say I have a Superman daddy!"

Gu Qingya, sitting in the passenger seat, smiled contentedly at the scene, feeling her earlier tension dissipate in an instant.

Seeing her mother made Yi Yi all the more excited, and she struggled, calling out, "Daddy, Mommy is here too, I want to sit with Mommy!"

Yang Yi, nodding in agreement, handed Yi Yi over to Gu Qingya, chuckling playfully, "See, the moment our daughter sees Mommy, Daddy is no longer needed!"

Gu Qingya from the passenger seat just glared at Yang Yi. It was her first time realizing that Yang Yi had learned to be so slick-tongued.

But she was happy and started to play with Yi Yi, not bothering to pay attention to Yang Yi.

The security guards and teachers standing at the school gate, witnessing this, were somewhat dumbfounded. They had all thought Yang Yi was just a driver, but he turned out to be Yi Yi's father.

And seeing the way Yang Yi and Gu Qingya talked to each other and their expressions made it clear—they were deeply in love, making the kindergarten teacher envious.

As they drove past a KFC, Yi Yi started clamoring, "KFC, Daddy, KFC!"

Although Yang Yi had achieved some success in medicine and martial arts, Gu Qingya had managed the finances in recent years, which meant he was relatively strapped for cash.

Hearing Yi Yi's request, Yang Yi glanced awkwardly at Gu Qingya, then told Yi Yi, "Yi Yi, call Mommy! Mommy has money! Mommy is the financier."
