About forty minutes later, the plane started checking in.
Duan Zihui reached out and patted Zhuzhu.
The little girl woke up in an instant. Remembering where she was, she immediately jumped up, asking, “Daddy, is the plane leaving?”
Duan Zihui nodded when he saw she was awake, “Yes.”
“Then let’s go.” She immediately took her father’s hand, showing no signs of sleepiness whatsoever.
She woke up faster than anyone else.
After getting on the plane, Zhuzhu sat in the chair for a while and fell asleep again immediately.
Duan Zihui smiled at how quickly she fell asleep. He adjusted her tilted little head so that she could sleep more comfortably, and then waited for the plane to take off and land.
The moment the plane landed, the little girl woke up. Hearing that they had arrived, she obediently took her father’s hand and followed him off the plane.
The assistant was already waiting outside the airport.
Duan Zihui asked the assistant to put the suitcase in the trunk, carried Zhuzhu into the car, and went to his residence.
Although the assistant knew that he had a daughter and had been traveling back and forth between the two cities for her recently, he was still a little surprised to see Duan Zihui come back with such a cute little girl.
Duan Zihui noticed his reaction, but was too lazy to explain.
The airport is not far from where he lives, and it only takes about ten minutes to drive there.
The little one was already asleep when they got out of the car.
This time, she didn’t wake up.
The assistant took their luggage.
Duan Zihui carried the child directly upstairs. She was incredibly light, like a cloud; Duan Zihui didn’t need to exert much effort to carry her upstairs easily.
His apartment was on the top floor, and there weren’t many people around at that hour. He took the elevator with the child and went straight up.
The assistant opened the door lock with his fingerprint, put down his things, closed the door, and left.
Duan Zihui likes places with good lighting and a good view. When they divorced, the marital home was given to Xie Qingyu, and he bought this new apartment later.
The apartment is a large, open-plan space with many rooms, and his belongings are neatly arranged. However, since he is the only one living there, he will only come back here in the evenings on weekdays, so he doesn’t have many things, and it feels rather deserted.
He lived here alone all these years and never expected that one day he would welcome his daughter.
He wondered if he’d one day bring a madam as well.
Duan Zihui realized that he was thinking too much, so he quickly drove away the random thoughts in his mind and went to his room with the child in his arms.
At home, Zhuzhu sometimes sleeps with her mother and sometimes sleeps alone.
Duan Zihui didn’t know whether Zhuzhu would be willing to sleep in the same room with him, but he was worried that she would cry if she woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t find him, so it would be better for her to stay by his side.
The room was bathed in warm, orange light, and the whole room was shrouded in warmth. Of course, the warmth wasn’t from the light itself, but from the sudden arrival of a little princess.
He gently laid Zhuzhu down on the bed.
The little one seemed startled awake. After moving her mouth, she turned to the side, hugged the quilt, and continued to sleep.
She was curled up like an adorable little animal.
Duan Zihui looked at her cute sleeping face, stood by the bed for a while, and dimmed the lights in the room. Then he went to get his clothes and wash up.
When he came out, the little one was still asleep. The dim light fell on her small face. Her eyes were closed, her long eyelashes making her look incredibly sweet.
