Tang Yi hugged her, glanced at the chubby kid, and said coldly, "Where are you from? Go find your mother."
He had a strong aura and a gloomy face. Even adults would be scared when they saw him, let alone the chubby boy. He was so scared by Tang Yi's glare that he choked and couldn't speak properly. He turned around and ran away with his schoolbag on his back.
In Tang Yi's arms, little Yimi made faces at the fleeing figure, "Coward! Coward! You're scared when you see my daddy! Let's see if you'll bully others again next time!"
"Okay, the person has left." Tang Yi said to her.
"Thank you, uncle." Little Yimi put away her grimace and hugged Tang Yi's neck. Tang Yi inexplicably felt that the word 'Daddy' sounded better, "You're not calling me Daddy anymore?"
Little Yimi didn't dare to shout again, "Uncle, I want to go back. Otherwise, grandma will be worried at home."
Tang Yi said "hmm". Xiao Yimi suddenly stretched out her little hand and touched his face. He frowned uncomfortably and turned his face away. "What are you doing?"
"You are so handsome. You would look even better if you didn't have such a stern face." As she spoke, her little hand caressed his forehead again.
Tang Yi was stunned, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
Over the years, those who know him well know what a perverse character he is. Usually, a look or a frown can scare adults. However, this little girl is very courageous. Not only does she dare to use it as a shield, she also dares to be presumptuous in his face.
"What am I afraid of you doing?" Little Yimi took her hand back and looked at him innocently, "Uncle is a good man, not scary at all."
Tang Yi laughed out loud.
"Good person?" This is the first time someone defines himself in this way.
Little Yimi reluctantly let go of Tang Yi's neck, "Uncle, thank you for helping me just now. But I want to go home now!"
She really couldn't bear to leave!
"Where do you live?" Tang Yi looked around the neighborhood, "Which building?"
"Over there!" Little Yimi pointed to the building where she lived. "Uncle, are you going to take me back?"
Tang Yi nodded: "I don't have anything to do right now, so I'll take you there. Which floor do you live on?"
"12th floor."
What a coincidence.
12th floor. Zhao Chuning also lives on the 12th floor.

At this moment, Zhao Chuning just got off work and returned to the community. She saw the familiar luxury car parked there. She looked around subconsciously, and when she saw a large and a small figure walking on the path and preparing to go upstairs, she was so shocked that she almost fainted.
Why is Tang Yi here
Also, why was he holding little Yimi
Zhao Chuning was extremely anxious, and his head was buzzing.
Calm down! Calm down!
This shouldn't happen! Tang Yi couldn't possibly know about Mimi's existence! This could just be a coincidence! If she rushed forward rashly, she would be admitting her guilt!
She reminded herself again and again, then took out her cell phone and dialed a number.
Xiao Yimi was held in Tang Yi's arms, and she felt extremely happy. Tang Yi asked her, "What's your name?"
"Just call me Mimi! Mommy and grandma call me that."
"Okay." He nodded.
"Which room do you live in?" Tang Yi continued to ask.
At this moment, the phone in Xiao Yimi's bag suddenly rang. "Uncle, put me down, I need to get my phone."
Tang Yi put the child down, and Xiao Yimi opened her schoolbag and took out her cell phone. She happily talked to Tang Yi, "It's Mommy's call. Uncle, wait for me for a while."
Tang Yi was rarely so patient and rubbed her head.
"Mommy!" Little Yimi was very happy.
"Mimi, why did you let a strange uncle hug you?" Zhao Chuning said in a stern tone.
"Mommy, don't be angry, uncle is a good man. He just helped me." Little Yimi explained somewhat aggrievedly.
"Mommy and grandma have told you that bad people can't have words written on their heads. Also, the teacher also said that you are not allowed to bring strangers home. Let that uncle go right now."
Little Yimi knew that he was in the wrong. If the teacher knew about talking to strangers, eating strangers' food, and bringing strangers home, he would be spanked.
Although she felt sorry for the handsome uncle she just met, she had to agree to her mommy's request. "I know, mommy, don't be angry, I'll listen to you."
She hung up the phone and put the phone into her schoolbag. Tang Yi understood something, but he didn't speak first, just waiting for her to speak first.
"Uncle, I'm sorry. Mommy doesn't allow me to bring strangers back. Besides, Mommy seemed very angry on the phone!" Little Yimi looked a little depressed.
"It seems that your mommy has a bad temper."
"No, no." Little Yimi waved her hands. "My mommy doesn't usually lose her temper with me. It was indeed Mimi who did something wrong today. But, uncle, what's your name? We met today, and we won't be strangers if we meet again in the future!"
She tilted her little neck and looked at the tall man with great effort.
Tang Yi felt soft in his heart, and raised his thin lips, "Tang Yi."
"Then I will call you Uncle Tang from now on!" Xiao Yimi stretched out her hand to him, "Uncle Tang, from today on we are friends!"
Tang Yi looked at the soft and tender little hand, squatted down slightly, and held her hand.
"Okay, I'll make this friend. But I'd like it better if you called me 'Daddy'."
———
Zhao Chuning stood downstairs, feeling uneasy. When he thought of the scene just now, he felt hopeless. But from Xiao Yimi's tone, their meeting might just be a coincidence.
She waited for a long time, but didn't see Tang Yi come out. She was still worried, so she walked into the apartment building and prepared to go upstairs.
However, as soon as he entered the unit, he ran into a broad embrace. Tang Yi just came out from inside.
When she saw him, her face turned pale uncontrollably.
"Are you panicking?" Tang Yi was surprised and noticed something wrong on her face. His mysterious gaze circled around her.
Zhao Chuning stood up straight, clutched the bag in his hand, and changed the subject, "Why are you here?"
“… I just happened to pass by.” Tang Yi stared at her.
Zhao Chuning said "Oh" perfunctorily, and was seriously thinking about Tang Yi's reaction at this moment. If Tang Yi knew Mimi's secret, he would definitely not react like this. So, maybe the meeting between father and daughter just now was really just a coincidence.
But how can she avoid such coincidences from happening again in the future
"That's it?" Tang Yi was dissatisfied with her cold response. Moreover, she didn't know what she was thinking about. She was restless and not focused on him at all. He raised his eyebrows and held her face up. "What were you thinking about when you talked to me?"
Zhao Chuning came back to his senses. He didn't want to talk to him here. If he ran into Xiao Yimi again, he would be exposed.
