Chapter 208: Chapter 208 Quirky Spirits 2_1
Su Ran looked around anxiously and with a hint of doubt but did not see the adorable little figure.
"Shanshan, are you sure you went to the right? Why didn’t Uncle see you--"
"Yes, I went to the right, then you walk forward two more steps, maybe you’ll see me--"
Su Ran took two steps forward yet still did not spot the little figure. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he tentatively said to the person on the phone, "Shanshan, stop playing hide and seek with Uncle. Come out quickly, or else Uncle won’t bring you out next time--"
Shanshan laughed crisply over the phone, "Hehe-- Uncle Ran, I just wanted to pick out a gift for my grandparents by myself. I’ll come to you after I’m done, you can wait for me at the main entrance, bye-bye--" After hanging up the phone, she gestured a scissors hand, the second step, success!
Su Ran’s heart instantly rose to his throat as he called out in alarm, "Shanshan, don’t mess around, tell Uncle where you are--"
Before he could finish the words "where you are," the phone call had already been cut off.
He gritted his teeth in frustration and smacked himself hard on the forehead.
Fooled again--- Sometimes he wondered if she really was just three years old, oh, no, three and a half--
He didn’t know how many times such scenes had occurred, but he knew that whenever this happened, he had to turn the world upside down to find the Little Witch.
But she had just arrived in C City today and knew nothing about this place, which was nothing like the Canada where she had grown up. This ancestor of his was too bold!
The more he thought about it, the more worried Su Ran became. He immediately started making calls while searching the crowd for that small figure.
"Get someone over here now, guard all the entrances of the mall, and the parking lot too. Get some more people to come inside and search every floor, every room!"
The moment the person on the other end of the phone heard, he understood the situation, surely the restless Little Witch was playing hide and seek with them again, and he quickly nodded in agreement.
Su Ran massaged his temples, not daring to delay for a second. He hung up and rushed through the crowd.
The mall was very large, with eight floors of department store goods, everything one could want. He had taken her to the restroom on the first floor; that little imp must have run upstairs.
With that thought, he headed toward the escalator to go up to the second floor.
He walked on, dialing the Little Witch’s phone, but nobody answered.
After hanging up Su Ran’s call, Shanshan indeed headed to the second floor, but once there, she took the elevator straight up.
The people around stared curiously at the cute and pretty little figure, wondering how she was alone and where her parents were.
Had they become separated? But judging by the sweet smile on her little face, it didn’t seem like she had gotten separated from her parents--- the crowd was puzzled--
Shanshan gazed around curiously, but after looking, she continued to go to the upper floors because in her mind, the good stuff seemed to be on the top. She wanted to choose gifts for her grandparents, and she most certainly wanted to choose the best!
Moreover, her great-grandfather had said that her daddy was in this city, so she wanted to pick out something for him as well.
Having finally come here, how could she miss the chance to see her explosively handsome daddy!
With this in mind, she took the elevator, rapidly advancing floor by floor toward the top.
But--- after reaching the top floor, it wasn’t as bustling as she had imagined. On the contrary, it was very quiet, more like an area with corridors of rooms, almost like-- a workplace.
She rubbed her little head in confusion, looking around. What exactly was this place?
A receptionist saw her standing at the entrance for a while and immediately approached her with a smile on her face.
Seeing how adorable she was, and noting her attire, which clearly didn’t belong to a child from an ordinary family, her tone became even gentler and more affectionate.
"Little friend, what are you doing here? Where are your mom and dad?"
Shanshan’s big eyes squinted into crescents as she looked at the pretty sister in front of her and sweetly said, "Sister, you’re so beautiful..."
The receptionist didn’t expect such sweet talk from the child and immediately beamed with joy, crouching down gently, and said to her, "You’re also very cute and pretty--but you haven’t told sister why you’re here by yourself yet?"
Shanshan’s eyes turned as she hummed, looking somewhat pitiful as she said, "I’m here to find my daddy, mommy said he’s here. Sister, what’s inside there?"
She stretched her little head curiously, trying to look inside.
Upon hearing her words, the receptionist was startled; this was Longshang’s head office, so anyone working here must be quite important.
She knew it! This little darling definitely came from a wealthy family!
"Well then--what’s your daddy’s name? Sister can help you check--"
Shanshan inwardly cursed, knowing that her daddy wasn’t really here, and had only said so to avoid trouble, but now the pretty sister had taken it seriously.
"I--I don’t know--"
The receptionist didn’t sense any deception, considering how young she was, it was understandable that she didn’t know her father’s name.
"Then what’s your last name?"
Shanshan blinked twice and smiled sweetly, "My last name is Su--"
"So your daddy’s last name is Su too. Sister will help you look him up, okay?"
Shanshan instinctively wanted to refuse, but seeing how enthusiastic the sister was, she didn’t speak up and started to back away, planning to make a quick getaway.
As she was nearly back at the entrance, a group of people suddenly appeared at the far end of the long corridor.
She always loved a commotion and immediately stepped forward again, standing in place, stretching her head, and staring wide-eyed, curious about what the group of people was doing.
The longer she watched, the more puzzled she became, and the more puzzled she got, the more conflicted she felt, her pink little face instantly becoming a bun face.
Looking at the tall figure at the front, especially that handsome face that could stir both heavens and humans, she suddenly plopped down on the ground, then quickly took out her phone from her little backpack, opened the gallery, and found a photo.
The photo was unremarkable, featuring just one person, a half-body shot with poor resolution, clearly snapped directly from somewhere else.
Her eyes widened as she looked at the photo and then lifted her head to see the person approaching closer, then looked down again, and then up again, repeating the process several times, until she was shocked and her eyes opened wide.
Mu Yingchen came out of the meeting room and saw a small figure at the end of the corridor. He was puzzled; during work hours, children weren’t allowed, and neither were customers, so where did this child come from?
The closer he got, the deeper his frown became. He did not understand what the small figure was fiddling with; she seemed to be looking at him and yet not, her gaze alternating between looking up and down. What on earth was going on?
As he got closer, before he had a chance to see what she looked like, the small figure suddenly stood up from the ground as if electrified, lunged at him without hesitation, and at the same time cried out loudly, "Daddy, I’ve finally found you~~"
