108 Adopted one more child? (1/2)

Huang Qiuyan walks toward the library with a happy mood. She and Xiao Chun Dan can't sense the person who has been following them for a while. It's not their fault though. The person is no other than Kai who is experimenting with his new suit.

She pushes the door of the library. Seeing so many books makes her dizzy. What can she do? One must work hard when it's a matter of life or death. Being a weird vampire was bad enough. Now, she has something weirder happening inside her.

”How do we do this?” She stands at the centre of the library.

[My scanning range is small right now.] Xiao Chun Dan cannot hide his excitement from his voice. More books mean more knowledge. More knowledge means more power. Though these books only contain the knowledge of this world, it's still valuable to him. [You have to stop for 10 seconds in each area of the library. I will do the rest.]

She looks up at the numerous books on bookshelves. How long will it take? Sighing, she obliges to the Xiao Chun Dan's wishes. The boy is greedy. It will probably take all night.

Kai watches with avid interest while wondering what kind of secrets she holds.

The little girl stirs in his arms. Fu Sheng looks at her. She is awake and trying to get out of his arms. He smiles and kisses her head. ”Good morning, Mian-er. How are you feeling now?”

Fu Mian lifts head. Her face is pale. She blinks her eyes and asks, ”Daddy, I am okay, but where is Mommy?”

After coming back from the vampire hunters' headquarters, she was down with a fever. Often, she sensed her father beside her and patting her head. But, she couldn't open her eyes. She woke up last night. Uncle Lei told her that her father was with her mother. She fell asleep again after eating a little and drinking her medicines.

Her mommy hasn't visited her once. Does she not know that she's sick? Fu Mian puffs her cheeks. Pretty Eyes isn't here either. Where is everyone?

”She…” Fu Sheng hesitates. What should he tell her? He didn't want Huang Qiuyan to meet Fu Mian. Fu Mian would be in pain if Huang Qiuyan left them again. He didn't tell Huang Qiuyan about Fu Mian's sickness. He let others keep Huang Qiuyan away from Fu Mian's chamber. But, things have changed between him and Huang Qiuyan. It should be alright now. ”I will take you to her.”

”Why didn't she come to see me once?” Fu Mian narrows her eyes. She has noticed the uneasiness on her father's face.

Fu Sheng takes his daughter in his arms and stands up. ”Don't be mad at me. She and I are not married yet. She's not your mother right now. That's why I didn't let her see you.”
