The cold shoulder

It took an hour and a half to reach Moonlight villa in the star Garden, The most luxurious villa garden in the whole city. Even if someone is well off, one cannot get a place in this place.

A man got out of the car while the driver has already gone to get his luggage from the trunk of the black Rolls Royce Phantom rose. He is wearing casual attire. His face already shows that he is exhausted from all the travel. Right when he got out of the car, The people who met him bowed down and greeted him before continuing their work. It was clear that he is the master of this villa. He was neither cold nor jovial.

His eyes looked around as if he was searching for something. In the end, he didn't find the person he was looking for. He can bet that it was because of her. Thus it says one thing. He has a big battle to fight for. With t the thought of it, he took the bags from the driver and stridden towards the door of the lavish villa. When he reached the entrance, he heard the laughter from inside. He heaved heavily. By pulling a big smile on his face, he walked in.

"My dear, Where are you? See, I am back.", The first thing that came into his sight was two identical faces, a larger one and a smaller one, that wears a hostile look at them. It was a child and a woman in her twenties. They were both dressed in casual yet they looked so elegant. The child resembled the woman so much that one will easily say that she is the mother of the child.

Upon seeing him, The laughter that he heard a while ago is nowhere to be found. He knows it's over for him. Still, he walked toward the two figures who are sitting on the sofa. He knelt before the petite figure while placing all the bags on the table which contains a tray full of fruits, snacks, and Glasses of juice. He took the little hands in his hand. But the hands shake his hands and tugged in front of her petite body.

A mischievous and provoking smile appeared on the woman who was sitting beside her. She cocked her eyebrows and looked at him with a look of looking down on him. He observed her. Then he smiled stating that he accept the challenge. He then lowered his head. When he looked up again, He had a disdained look in his eyes. It was as if he will break out in tears at any second. With the sadness on his face, his lips parted as the words came out.

"I thought, I will be the best dad in the world as I won another championship again in this idea contest. Looks like someone is reluctant to talk with me. Looks like they don't want to hold the cup that her dad brought home. If that's the case, It can only be mine."

When the woman next to her heard this, She roared, "Yang Yuan, It's not yours alone. Don't use the championship as a tool to cheat the baby, You cheater."

The man named Yang Yuan simply ignored her and fixed his gaze on the child. He continued his act. " Is the baby not going to talk with me. Will she not say 'I love you? Will she listen to a liar? Isn't my baby the world's best baby? I am sad. Who will I love if my baby won't talk to me."

His words made the woman angry. She was fuming in anger already and his words acted as if the oil that is added to the fire. It was all okay if he didn't realize his mistake and apologize to her. But he has to call her a liar. Wasn't he just shamelessly Narcissistic. She doesn't want to talk anymore with him. She simply stretched her hand and picked up a packet of melon seeds to eat.

On seeing her being silent, The child that was listening Craned its head and took a deep look at her. It scrutinized her expression before turning around to look at Yang Yuan. It raised its eyebrows questioning the authenticity of his words. He nodded helplessly defending himself.

When The woman saw that the child was almost convinced by the helplessness Yang Yuan wear on his face, She said in a lazy yet warning tone," Ah Jie, Don't get scammed by this cheater like your mother. He is so good at playing with words." After saying the words, She focused again on the melon seeds in her hand.

The baby heaved a sigh and looked back and forth at the man and the woman in front of it and climbed down and ran to the old man, who was in his seventies, who was entering the house.

On seeing the child running at him, he said in a worried tone," Ah Jie, Slow down... You will fall if you ran around like this." When the child reached him, It signaled him to squat down.

Instead of squatting, He held the girl's hand and walked to the Living room. Upon seeing the Old man, Both the Man and woman stood up to pay the respect to him and moved to the side, and remained silent. The old man walked past them as he nodded at them. When he sat down, the child climbed and sat on his lap. He signaled the two to sit down while looking at the child. "Ah Jie, Tell me now."

The child cropped the old man's face and opened its cherry lips to utter, "Great-grandpa, Didn't you always say That Ah Jie is a good child. If that's the case, why do I have a cheater and a liar as my mommy and daddy?", in its honey-coated baby voice.

The old man doesn't know how to answer and he shifted his gaze to the young people before him. Under his gaze, the two shrink down further. They were already regretting their action when the child asked the question to the elder. Now with his gaze, They didn't know what to do except for blaming the other one.
