Daddy?

Making his way towards Aunt Fu's clothing store, Wang Ming felt ashamed. He felt like the little success he had the past week was only because of luck. He only got out of the situation at the phone store, because of his relationship with Peng Tong. Also, he got the things from Meng Kitchenware for free. And now he felt like he's taking advantage of Aunt Fu and her compassionate heart.

He didn't know why they're so nice to him. He had done nothing for them and had no way to repay them yet, but promised to himself that he would remember every person that has helped him. He felt the urge to climb the social ladder fast. In this dog eat dog society, he would need both power and money to keep himself and those around him from being bullied.

Arriving at Aunt Fu's shop called Fu Clothing Shop, Wang Ming could see that it was a cute decorated shop, clearly aiming to cater to younger people's tastes. Wang Ming went up to the door to open it and went inside. But as he entered the shop, a little girl jumped onto his lap and shouted.

"Daddy! Daddy!"

Taking a second to process everything, Wang Ming thought the voice to the little girl was familiar. Slowly raising the girl's head to see her face, which she had buried in his stomach, he recognized the girl. It was Ming Ming that he had met a week ago, she and her mother hadn't been to his food stand for the rest of the festival, so he had forgotten about them.

Seeing Ming Ming again got Wang Ming emotional he felt a few tears starting to form in his eyes when she called him daddy. It was something with Ming Ming that stirred his emotions. He didn't know why, but he suddenly wished for Ming Ming to be his actual daughter.

"Ming Ming, I'm your Uncle, not Daddy! Have you been nice? If you have, I will make you lots of meat Okay? You didn't run from your mother again, have you?"

"I have been good! Promise! Mama is inside the shop, I've helped Mama the whole week helping Mama. So please make me lots of meat. Daddy!" Ming Ming said while putting on the cutest smile Wang Ming had ever seen in his life. Even her eyes were smiling at him.

Wang Ming wanted to tell Ming Ming not to call him Daddy. The door violently swung open behind him, almost hitting Wang Ming behind him. Wang Ming hurriedly dodged by turning his wheelchair to the left, barely dodging the door.

Breathing a sigh of relief, he looked down to see if Ming Ming was okay, and smiled when Ming Ming laughed happily while saying "Again, again."

"Ming Ming, there you are. Did you look after the store while I was gone? Why are you sitting on this uncle's lap? Don't be rude and go down right now!"

Fu Ya had been working at this shop together with her mom, ever since she got pregnant. She had worked with clothes and clothes design since she was little, her dream was to make designer clothes so affordable that even middle class and maybe even poor people could afford it.

She didn't want profits but wanted to bring high-quality clothes and customized clothes to everybody. After graduating from the most prestigious college in China, Minghua University. Fu Ya started working for one of the biggest companies in FenZhong city.

At the start, she enjoyed the work she did. The top celebrities of china wore some clothes she made. Everybody was nice to her, but that soon changed after she got pregnant. Men thought she was a slut, and since she was pregnant, there was no use in them being nice to her anymore.

Women thought she was sleeping with their superiors to get promotions and for them to promote her work. So after this, she quit her job and went back to work with her mother. The only thing she wanted now is to take good care of Ming Ming and also spend time with her mother.

Ever since Ming Ming was little she hated men, since they were always bullying her mother, saying bad things and harassing her. When a man got close to Fu Ya, they would always terrify Ming Ming.

She had never been nice to a man, which is why Fu Ya felt astounded she was sitting in a man's lap. And thought that maybe the man forced her, so she urged Ming Ming to get down as fast as possible.

"Don't scold her Miss Fu, she's just having a bit of fun no need to worry, I will put her down now."

Wang Ming then looked at Ming Ming and saw that she pouted, and didn't want to get off his lap. So he smiled at her and said.

"Ming Ming be nice and listen to me and your mother, and I will always give you free food, I will make the beef again for you Ok?" Grabbing her little finger he gave her a pinky promise. Ming Ming then ecstatically ran to her mother's embrace and said.

"Mom, Mom, Daddy promised me food, so please let him visit me often!"

"Ok, ok, but don't call him daddy again ok? He's not your daddy! Call him uncle." Fu Ya reproached her. She didn't want Ming Ming to call Wang Ming daddy since, of course, he wasn't her father. She didn't even know him or anything about him. To let her daughter call him daddy was too inappropriate.

"NO, he's Daddy only Daddy!" Ming Ming then threw a tantrum by wrestling out of her mother's embrace and stomped her little feet at the ground.

Seeing that Ming Ming were throwing a tantrum, Wang Ming tried to persuade her with a gentle voice.

"Ming Ming, now listen to your mother, or else I won't give you anymore meat, is that understood?"

Hearing his words she hurriedly shouted "Uncle, Uncle". Fu Chunhua just shook her head and sighed. She had raised Ming Ming for 6 years and now she wouldn't listen to her but a stranger. She felt like she had failed as a mother.

After Ming Ming ran into the shop, both Fu Ya and Wang Ming went in behind her. Fu Ya saw that Wang Ming also followed them in, which made her confused but then realized he was probably here to buy clothes and met with Ming Ming when he entered the shop.

She had misunderstood him. He didn't have ill intentions with Ming Ming. The only reason he was here were for clothes. This gave her a better opinion of Wang Ming, but only a little, as they still didn't know each other. Ever since Ming Ming's father left her and when all men changed how they acted around her. She completely lost faith in them.

"So what do you need, Mister Ming?" Fu Ya inquired. This was the first time Wang Ming got a good look at Fu Ya. Looking at her, the only word that came to his mind was seductive. Her face looked both alluring and cute. He could totally see now that Ming Ming and Fu Ya are mother and daughter. Ming Ming had clearly inherited her cute looks from her mother.

He didn't know how he hadn't noticed before. Probably because Ming Ming that kept distracting him from looking at Fu Ya. The only person who Wang Ming had seen that could rival her beauty was probably Lang Lin, and the only person prettier than them both was his mom. Realizing that he had been staring at Fu Ya for over a minute, he felt he had been rude, so he hurriedly apologized to Fu Ya.

"I'm sorry for staring at you, and I'm probably not the first to say this, but your beauty stunned me. I do not have any intentions of saying this, I just wanted to explain myself. I'm here to buy clothes, the ones I'm wearing are the only good clothes I have and their bad. I need both clothes that make me look like an important person and clothes for normal use."

Wang Ming didn't really want top end clothing but if the occasion arrived at least he would have some good clothes to wear, mostly he would just wear normal clothes.

Selling from a charcoal grill with a 500 yuan dress would be stupid since the clothes would become filthy fast. And he would look more like a conman than someone selling food.

Fu Ya smiled after hearing Wang Ming's apologizing. She felt uncomfortable when Wang Ming kept staring at her. She thought Wang Ming was like every other man and looked at her like prey with those disgusting eyes.

Which made her opinion of him go to rock bottom. She was even prepared to throw him out of her shop. But after hearing him explain himself, she couldn't help but smile. No one had ever been this honest to her before, and she appreciated that.

"I will find you something please wait a bit. If you want clothes designed for you, then try to think about what you want, while I get you some clothes."

While Fu Ya ran around to find clothes to Wang Ming, he suddenly heard someone whispering close to him. "I will call you daddy when it's just us, daddy" Ming Ming then giggled again while running away.
