Chapter 1169: 1169
"Sorry . . . Daddy," Little Eggshell lowered her head with guilt .
"Daddy doesn't need your apology, Daddy needs you to tell him why you trust great-grandfather so much . "
"Daddy, I'm hungry . . . " Little Eggshell suddenly changed the subject .
But, it didn't work on Nangong Quan . Instead, he said to her, "Cai Er, Daddy will make things clear for you . If you still want stick to great-grandfather, that means you no longer want Daddy . Other kids don't need to worry about this because other kids have loving grandfathers, but your great-grandfather is not like that . "
"Daddy . . . Great-grandfather's nice . . . " Little Eggshell immediately spoke up for her great-grandfather
"Fine, if you choose Great-grandfather, you can go live with him . Daddy will no longer be with Cai Er . To protect you, there are some things that Daddy can't tell you, and for your own good, there are some things that Daddy can't let you do . But, if you think Great-grandfather treats you better, then go follow him . "
As soon as Little Eggshell heard this, her eyes began to turn red, "Daddy . . . do you not want Little Eggshell anymore?"
"It's Little Eggshell that doesn't want Daddy anymore . Do you know how much Mommy worries about you every day? Yet, you don't appreciate her efforts and you even give Mommy attitude . Cai Er, you've been able to understand right from wrong since a young age, but not this time . You've made Daddy very disappointed . . . "
Nangong Quan spoke to Little Eggshell slowly in a gentle and understanding tone .
"Daddy won't blame you if you decide to choose great-grandfather, but I will be heartbroken for a very long time knowing that my own daughter doesn't trust me . . . "
"Daddy, I don't want to be separated from you . I don't want that . "
"But you don't trust Daddy; you don't have faith in my decisions anymore . "
Little Eggshell began to cry and whimper, but Nangong Quan did not place any pressure on her . Only after she finished crying, did he slowly ask her to explain everything, including the ideas that the old man had been feeding her .
This included the part where he said that a stepmother was different to a real mother .
After hearing from Little Eggshell, Nangong Quan did not say a word, but . . . he was deeply unsettled on the inside
After their chat, Little Eggshell fell asleep on Nangong Quan's lap all the way until he finished work and carried her home . But, when he stepped foot into the living room, Elder Nangong was waiting for them .
As soon as Elder Nangong saw Nangong Quan carrying Little Eggshell into the living room, he said, "Let me carry her . . . "
"I can take care of my own daughter . . . " Nangong Quan refused .
"But, Cai Er likes being around me . "
"That was yesterday!" Nangong Quan said coldly . "Grandfather, now that things have gotten to this point, let me make things clear for you . Stop trying to drive a wedge between Cai Er and I; she's my daughter . Also, stop trying to manipulate Cai Er so she can be used as a chess piece . I won't allow that unless I'm dead!"
"Interesting . . . " the old man laughed .
Nangong Quan ignored the man as he carried Little Eggshell back to her room and placed her on her bed .
But, Little Eggshell suddenly sat up and hugged her father, "Daddy, I already woke up while we were on our way back . I heard what you said to Great-grandfather . "
"Although I don't understand what a chess piece is, I can tell that it's not a good thing . "
"Daddy, I'm sorry . . . "
