Assassin Dad and His Genius Daughter-Chapter 100 First Meeting Between Lover And Friends
"I bought you ice cream," Ren Ye said in the utmost gentle voice as he smiled at her with soft eyes.
He extended the ice cream to the little girl whose arms were extended widely to welcome this treat of hers, her eyes beamed with bright colors as she gestured to her Papa to lower his head to her.
"Papa!"
Ren Ye casually lowered his head as she gestured. Ren Jia immediately wrapped her tiny arms around her Papa's neck and pressed her chubby cheeks against his cheeks as she curled her lips and eyes into a happy curve.
"Thank you, Papa!"
The little girl said with curved eyes and tiny rabbit teeth sticking out adorably, Ren Ye's heart warmed as he turned to look at her before affectionately sniffing her head full of soft hair.
"Do you look like the present I have bought you?" Ren Ye asked her calmly as his eyes seemed to brighten dimly at the sight of her curved lips and eyes, noting the genuine happiness that she emitted with her expressions alone.
"Yes. Yes," The little girl nodded her head like a chicken pecking, she caressed her Papa's cheeks in a childish manner as Ren Ye curled the corner of his lips into a strange grin. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢
As she caressed her Papa's cheeks adorably, she quickly pressed her curved lips against his cheeks, stealing a kiss or two from him. Ren Ye's heart warmed as he dropped the grocery bags onto the ground and quickly enveloped her into his strong embrace.
He wrapped his arms around her little body tightly as he pressed his face on the right side of her neck before lifting the little girl from the ground. He immediately placed his arm beneath her to prevent her from losing her balance in his arms.
Ren Jia continued to peck her Papa's cheeks as Jing Xue watched on with a sweet smile on her face but with jealousy inside her heart.
"If only…"
Jing Xue thought gloomily.
Ren Jia temporarily stopped pecking him as she turned to look at her Mama, suddenly noting her mood. She innocently raised her tiny arm and waved it at Jing Xue.
"Mama! Come here!"
The sudden crisp cry from Ren Jia broke Jing Xue out of her thoughts as Ren Ye lowered his eyes before raising them to look in her direction, noticing the awkward woman standing in the corner.
Jing Xue's heart shook as she raised her feet to go to them. Before she could, she overheard a strong male voice from inside her house.
"Maria!"
The voice belonged to a male whose accent was extremely strong and French. Ren Ye guessed it belonged to one of her friends as his guards quickly built up against them.
Jing Xue did not reply and stood there awkwardly, looking at Ren Ye who was holding Ren Jia protectively in his arms. She could almost see the defense in his eyes as her heart trembled.
? "Coming!"
Jing Xue replied back with a cry of her own in French. Her French was extremely posh and sounded romantic to Ren Ye who did not speak any French other than little introductions that he knew from movies.
Jing Xue did not immediately leave Ren Ye and go to them as she took the bags from his hands and quickly nodded to him, "Take care of Ren Jia. I will prepare the meal."
Ren Ye could feel himself nodding as he watched her take the bags and gestured to him to go inside. Ren Jia snuggled closer to Ren Ye as she took a scoop of her ice cream and place it inside her mouth.
Her eyes beamed with colorful lights as she made a satisfied hum. She scooped another spoonful and offered it to Ren Ye's mouth, "Papa, have some."
"I already had some before I came here," Ren Ye casually replied as he carried her into Jing Xue's villa.
In fact, he did not have any ice cream before coming here. He believed that eating too much sweet might cause him to get diabetes before he could advance. After all, he was not someone who is immortal and immune to diseases. He is still a mortal being and in a mortal body that is likely to cause his death one day.
Ren Ye wanted to make a potion for Ren Jia if possible so she would not get any rotten teeth and diabetes in the future. Hoarding all the sweets and deserts for his only daughter if he is able to produce the potion.
"I am sure it will be available to you once you are capable enough. Anything is possible under my mentorship," Old Yi said in a prideful tone.
"…"
Ren Ye walked into the grand kitchen with calm eyes, devoid of emotions. Ren Jia was able to warm his body with her embrace as she often attempted to snuggle closer to him. As though she was unable to get any closer at her Papa.
"Papa, uncles and aunties are here. They have been wanting to meet you and bought me lots of gifts," Ren Jia looked at her Papa with affectionate eyes.
Ren Ye flicked her nose and smiled at her, "Naughty girl. You are hoarding all of the gifts. I am sorry I did not give you any while I was away."
"No, Papa!" Ren Jia shook her head resolutely and raised her tiny hand, showing off the energy charm Ren Ye specifically took them from a lake in HeWuan Forest and turned them into a bracelet for her.
Ren Jia defended her Papa very much, "Papa got me the most precious gift that nobody can afford."
She patted her Papa's cheeks adorably, she attempted to make him change his mind about his words by patting his cheeks childishly.
Ren Ye had almost forgotten about the gift he had given her a couple of days ago.
He gently took her hand and pressed it against his forehead, closing his eyes.
It appeared as though he was worshipping the bracelet on her hand. Jing Xue caught a glimpse of the heartwarming moment between the two of them as she secretly took out her phone and took a dozen pictures of them at this moment.
Ren Ye was unaware of it as Jing Xue muted all of her sounds beforehand so he would not notice and force her to delete them. It was hard to get him in an intimate and warm moment but it was even harder to capture him as he was extremely cautious of his behavior and made sure no one would get him to see him like this.
Ren Ye was extremely wary of people.
Ren Jia giggled and hugged her Papa even tighter. Jing Xue opened the door to the dining hall and they were greeted by a large group of people sitting down with glasses of wine on the dining table.
A slender man with a black short mustache stood up from his seat and extended his arms toward Jing Xue, "Maria! Darling, you have come back."
"…"
Ren Ye could not understand what he was saying but he was able to catch a glimpse of the affection he held toward Jing Xue.
The man was extremely affectionate and somewhat of a skinner frame. He had black slick hair that was pushed back. He wore a casual white t-shirt and blue jeans.
His eyes were piercing blue and his tone was slightly softer than the voice Ren Ye heard from outside. Ren Ye was certain that the voice from before did not belong to him and instead belonged to someone else.
"Henri, you are too affectionate," Jing Xue replied in an indifferent tone, with her soft and feminine French accent. Jing Xue extended her hand to Ren Ye who was holding Ren Jia tightly with warmth in her eyes.
"Everyone, this is Ren Ye. He is my boyfriend," Jing Xue said in French while looking at him from afar.
Ren Ye could not understand what she was saying but most importantly, she could not understand why everyone was looking at her with strange and almost disdainful eyes.
He raised his eyebrows with interest as he turned to look Jing Xue. Ren Jia was oblivious to the tense atmosphere as she only cared about devouring the ice cream in front of her.
"Hello," Ren Ye calmly nodded his head to them without showing any expression.
Although it was his nature, many of them did not seem pleased by his appearance. None of them stood up to welcome him.
Ren Ye frowned deeply as his eyes grew colder and colder. Jing Xue sensed Ren Ye's mood as she looked at her best friend, Helene. Helene immediately stood up.
"Welcome!" Helene exclaimed loudly in broken Chinese with a friendly smile on her face.
Helene was rather beautiful with long blonde hair flowing down onto her waist as they were tied up into a French braid. She had gorgeous blue eyes that reflected the lights in the room.
Out of them, she was the only person who appeared to be excited by his arrival, from what he observed with his keen eyes. She curved her lips into a joyful arc as she came forward to approach him under the disdainful eyes of others.
She extended her hand, "Shake up?"
Ren Ye understood the Chinese she was trying to say as the coldness in his eyes seem to calm down, he simply nodded his head and took her hand. Shaking them.
"Hello," He replied in perfect French.
