My wife is in my arms

Chapter 532 Making a Scene
"Zhang Zishan, did we say something wrong?!"

Zhang You asked.

Zhang You's question didn't get an answer from Xiao Zishan. The girl seemed to only just realize what had happened, and while chasing after the car, she called out in her childish voice, "Mom, I was wrong!"

Zhang You grabbed her and dragged her onto the sidewalk. Seeing that her apology hadn't been accepted, Xiao Zishan turned to her father and asked, "Dad, what do we do now? Should we walk back?"

"Are you stupid? You could have taken a taxi."

Zhang You smiled and reached into his pocket... then froze.

"Brother Ayou, don't tell your daughter you left your phone in the car."

Seeing her father's expression, Xiao Zishan panicked.

"Your intelligence amazes me."

Reaching out to pat Xiao Shan's head, Zhang You reassured her, "Don't worry, it's not far, only twenty kilometers. With our father-daughter stamina, we'll be home before midnight."

"Dad, do you think you're funny?!"

Xiaozi Shan said unhappily.

"Your dad only has a tiny bit of a sense of humor..."

Before Zhang You could finish speaking, Xiao Zishan interrupted him, "Brother You, stop with the jokes right now. Hurry up and think of a solution. It's all your fault for upsetting my mom. Now look what's happened, you don't have your phone, and you don't have any money on you!"

"I didn't bring it."

Zhang You shrugged helplessly.

"I'm bored"

Xiao Zishan covered her head in distress, then started complaining about Zhang Youlai again, forgetting that her father's words only made her mother angry, but her inexplicable sigh completely enraged her mother, who then kicked her and her father out of the car.

Zhang You couldn't help but laugh when he heard Xiao Zishan constantly complaining about herself.

really.

Once there are no external enemies, internal conflicts will quickly arise. Just like their family, the father and daughter have a common enemy, the diva. They often stick together for warmth, comfort and support each other, and immediately join forces to deal with the diva's attacks.

Now that the diva has driven away, all sorts of internal problems have surfaced. Xiao Zishan is still rambling on, saying, "I don't care, you're the one who made my mom leave. You'd better run over and coax her back."

Your mother drove away.

Zhang You reminded.

"Why don't you go after her!"

Xiao Zishan spoke.

"Your dad is a man with only two legs, not a horse with four legs. Besides, even if your dad were a horse, he couldn't catch up with four wheels. By the way, are you thirsty?!"

As he spoke, Zhang You asked.

Do you have any water?

Xiao Zishan asked back, and seeing her father spread his hands, she immediately pouted and said unhappily, "Why did you ask if there's no water? Now that you've asked, I'm really thirsty and hungry. I didn't eat much at school at noon. Dad, what are we going to do now? I still have so much homework to do tonight!"
"Are you stupid! Tomorrow morning when you get to school, you tell your teacher that my dad and mom had a fight, my mom kicked my dad and me out of the car, and my dad didn't take his phone with him. You walked home with me. Then I'll call your teacher to confirm this. So Zhang Zishan... you don't need to do your homework tonight."

Zhang You said with a smile.

"..."

Xiao Zishan was taken aback. Her bright eyes blinked a few times, then a few more times, and then… the internal conflict quickly vanished due to some benefit. Xiao Zishan reached out and took her father's hand, happily saying, "This is good, this is good!"

Are you still thirsty and hungry!?

Zhang You asked. Xiao Zishan shook her head without thinking, ignoring the loud rumbling in her stomach. She preferred not to do homework for a whole night rather than skip a meal.

As the sun gradually set, a gentle evening breeze caressed their faces. It wasn't too cold. Some early spring flowers had already bloomed along the roadside, but the truly vibrant spring season had yet to arrive. The father and daughter walked for a while, and the internal conflict that had been suppressed because they didn't have to do homework began to resurface as they grew tired from walking.

"Dad, I can't walk, carry me on your back."

Xiao Zishan spoke.

“Daughter, we’ve only walked less than two miles, and there’s still about thirty-eight miles to go. You’re already making me carry you… Are you planning to find a new husband for your mother and a new father for yourself?!”

Zhang You did not refuse directly, but instead used a more tactful approach.

Zhang You didn't care about this short distance; he always went for a morning run. But there's a big difference between jogging two or three kilometers and jogging twenty kilometers—one is exercise, the other is deadly.

If it were just walking slowly, it wouldn't matter, but carrying nine-year-old Shan on his back would be too much for Zhang You to handle. They say fatherly love is like a mountain, but no one really has to carry a mountain on their back. If that were the case, all men would choose to be women because no one could carry that mountain.

"Then go and flag down a car."

Xiao Zishan offered her suggestion.

"Are you sure you want to stop them now? If you do, we'll go home early, and then there's the homework..."

Zhang You didn't say what he was going to say next, but the meaning was obvious.

"..."

For an instant.

Xiao Zishan became conflicted. She stopped walking and sat down by the roadside. Zhang You smiled and sat down next to her.

Along the way, many vehicles passed by, including bicycles and electric scooters. Quite a few people looked at him with surprise, but they only glanced at him and then walked away. They probably didn't think that this passerby walking with his daughter was really Zhang You. It's also possible that he wasn't famous enough and didn't have the large number of fans that celebrities who have been in the industry for many years have.

Looking at the cars speeding along the road, Xiao Zishan felt a strong hunger pang, not to mention that he was hungry. He had only eaten a vegetable salad and a steak for lunch. Western food, apart from the pretty plates, is indeed not very filling.

It didn't matter that the woman had a small appetite, but he, a grown man, was finding it hard to keep up. Looking back, Zhang You really wanted to see a familiar car quietly lurking behind them, observing him and Xiao Shan.

Unfortunately, even with his eyes straining from staring, Zhang You didn't notice any cars parked a short distance away watching the father and daughter's movements, and he sighed inwardly.

The diva is a bit petty.

I only said a few words to her! And she actually resorted to the trick of abandoning her husband and daughter.

After resting for a while, Xiao Zishan's stomach growled again. The little girl rubbed her empty little belly and said, "Dad, why don't you take me to Aunt Zhang's house for dinner, and then we can play at Aunt Zhang's house for a while before going back?"

"Are you sure your Aunt Zhang is home?! Of course, if you remember her number, that's fine too. I can hail a taxi, borrow the driver's phone to call her downstairs to pay the fare, and then she can treat us to a big meal."

Zhang You spoke.

"I only remember my mom and you."

Xiao Zishan sat by the lure fishing spot, holding a small blade of grass sprouting from a crack in the sidewalk, swaying it back and forth on the ground. Zhang You hesitated slightly, then said, "How about we go home? I miss your mom."

"Can't"

Xiao Zishan quickly shook her head and said, "I still have homework to do when I go back now."

"So we'll just starve then!?"

Zhang You asked.

Xiao Zishan handed over the long, thin green blade of grass she had been playing with, saying, "Use this as a base!"

After saying that, Xiao Zishan giggled under her father's gaze, threw away the grass, and stretched her arm out in front of Zhang You, saying, "Have a braised pork knuckle."
