CHAPTER 8: LITTLE ANNIE

Seeing that the girl was alone, Tang Feng walked over and kneeled in front of her . Looking at her eye to eye,
he said in a gentle voice, “Hi, I’m Tang Feng . What are you doing here alone?”
The little girl stared at him with her tearstreaked
face . Far away, the girl’s eyes had appeared black, but
kneeling right in front of her, Tang Feng could see that her eyes were actually brown . Her large eyes were
filled with tears . Blinking at Tang Feng, the tears in her eyes overflowed and streaked down her cheeks .
“Daddy’s gone . Annie and Daddy lost each other . ” Like her appearance, her childishly high voice was also
adorable .
The park wasn’t big . The girl’s father was probably looking for her right this moment . Tang Feng thought he
could probably help her find her father as well .
Tang Feng comforted the child and soon she started laughing . While he was happy that she wasn’t crying
anymore, he was also worried that she had opened up to a stranger so quickly . If someone with ill intentions
had come across her instead, she would surely have been kidnapped . Forget it . This conversation could be
saved for when he comes across Annie’s father .
If the girl’s father noticed that his daughter was gone, he should be retracing his steps right now . Rather than
running all over the park, it would be smarter for them to stay right where they were . Tang Feng sat with the
little girl on one of the park benches and waited together with her .
Annie was adorable . Although she was young, her looks were as delicate as a Barbie doll’s . Westerners were
all rather adorable at a young age, but it was rare to come across a child as beautiful as Annie . Her parents
were definitely attractive people as well . Judging from the clothes she was wearing, her family was also quite
welloff .
“Annie, do you remember where you lost your daddy?”




“There were a lot of people, then Annie couldn’t find Daddy anymore . Mister, can you help Annie find him?”
Annie grabbed onto Tang Feng’s wrist .

“Of course . ” Tang Feng smiled at her .
Looking at Annie, he was reminded of himself . It was hard for him not to pity her . As he had lived a loveless
childhood, after growing up, he couldn’t resist the tenderness that welled up inside him whenever he saw a
detached or frail child . To keep Annie calm, Tang Feng tried talking with her . “Annie, what games do you like
to play?”
The girl raised her hand and said excitedly, “I like playing Truth or Dare with Daddy the most . Mister, you can
play with Annie too! Annie will start first!”
“Okay,” Tang Feng agreed .
“Mister, do you have someone you like? Like how Daddy likes Mommy . ” Annie blinked her big eyes at Tang
Feng . Her innocent appearance prevented Tang Feng from guessing at the meaning of her question .
“Ah…Not right now,” Tang Feng answered after thinking for a bit .
There were people he was interested in, but it was too soon to talk about having a serious relationship with
anyone . Tang Feng would never lie to a child, so he spoke the truth .
“It’s my turn now . How old are you Annie?”
“Annie’s four and a half . ” Annie asked another question, “Mister, what type of person do you like?”
“What type of person do I like…” Tang Feng had never thought about it . He paused for a moment, and
responded, “Hmm, for appearance, it’s fine as long as I like how they look . As for character, I hope they
would be a kind person . Someone with a sunny outlook on life . I also hope they have the same values as
me . ”
“Mister, you’re such a good person . Can we be friends?”
“Of course, I would love to be friends with Annie . ” Faced with an innocent child, Tang Feng couldn’t resist a




smile . The world of adults was complicated and full of twists and turns . Only children could have such pure
looks in their eyes; they were lovable at first glance .
“You have to pinkie promise!” Annie blinked and held out her pinkie, a look of excitement on her face .
“Okay, I pinky promise, for a hundred years . ” Tang Feng rubbed Annie’s hair, smiling indulgently at her .
At that moment, they heard the anxious call of a man . “Annie! My god . Daddy finally found you . ”
Looking at the man who had appeared at the edge of the thicket, Tang Feng stood up and pulled Annie along
with him . The girl appeared a bit disgruntled . Tang Feng said quietly, “Annie, is he your daddy? Go to him . ”

Keeping her head down, a look of despise flashed across Annie’s eyes . When she looked up, only innocence
could be found again . She looked at Tang Feng, and then at the man who was running toward her . Finally,
she chose to run to her father .
“Daddy, you’re awful! You’ve only found me now!” While running, Annie yelled out loud .
“Yes, it’s all Daddy’s fault . Annie, please don’t be angry with Daddy, okay?” Catching his daughter in a hug,
the man smiled at Tang Feng . “Thank you for taking care of my daughter . ”
“It’s not a problem . I’m glad to help . ”
Tang Feng then conversed a bit more with Annie’s father . He expressed his worry and hoped that Annie’s
father could take care of the little girl better . He should teach Annie that it wasn’t right to talk with strangers
so easily . The purpose of instilling vigilance in Annie wasn’t to destroy her innocence, but to raise her guard
as a child who was incapable of defending herself .
As Annie wanted to be friends with him, Tang Feng ended up giving them his address and phone number as
well before they left .
When Lu Tian Chen came to find him, Annie and her father were just leaving .
“Who are they?” Looking at the retreating figures, Lu Tian Chen frowned . He wasn’t too happy at the




moment . Someone had brushed against his car in the parking lot just now, because of that, he had wasted
so much time . Glancing at the fatherdaughter
pair, Lu Tian Chen instinctively felt that something was off .
“They are Little Annie and her father . ” Tang Feng quickly recounted the details of their encounter to Lu Tian
Chen .
“They look like a strange pair . You should be wary of them . Don’t regard everybody around you as friends,”
Lu Tian Chen concluded bluntly .
Was this youngster who wasn’t even thirty trying to educate an old fox like him? Tang Feng objected to Lu
Tian Chen’s warning . Annie was an adorable child . He could believe it if it were an adult in question, but an
innocent child couldn’t have any ulterior motives .
Moreover, he didn’t have any money, power, or enemies at the moment . He was also in America . Who would
chase him all the way to America to take revenge on him?
Su Qi Cheng? That was impossible . Charles had emphasized that Su Qi Cheng wouldn’t dare touch him
anymore .
“You’re overthinking it . Annie’s a little girl . Stop viewing her with your cruel businessman eyes . ” Tang Feng
was slightly unhappy . Lu Tian Chen was a good businessman, but that didn’t conflict with the fact that Tang

Feng didn’t like parts of Lu Tian Chen’s personality . He didn’t have the right to critique the other, but he had
the right to voice out his displeasure .
“Are you dissatisfied with me?”
“No, I simply think you can treat the people around you more kindly . Don’t think that every single person
who’s trying to become closer to you has ill intentions . ”
Lu Tian Chen chuckled coldly, “There are definitely people like that . ”
“Would you uproot a whole garden of roses just because one had stung your hand?” Tang Feng shot back .
The world wasn’t perfect, but so what? Nothing was perfect . If people chose to focus on someone’s
shortcomings instead of strengths, then it would bring them nothing other than suffering . There was an old
saying: The world didn’t lack beauty, only the eyes to find it .
It was normal for people to be on guard against strangers, but going overboard wasn’t good .
Tang Feng thought Lu Tian Chen would argue back . Either that or the atmosphere would dwindle into
awkward silence . But Lu Tian Chen merely glanced at him and said softly, “I was only worried about you . ”
Tang Feng was suddenly speechless .
“Let’s go back after walking around for a bit . ” Tang Feng forced out a sentence after a long while . Lu Tian
Chen was going against the rules . He wasn’t used dealing with such a logical Lu Tian Chen .
“Okay, tell me more about what happened earlier . About your new friend, Little Annie . ”
♦
A black car was parked on the street opposite of the park . It couldn’t be a more common sight in America .
“Go away! You stupid pig!” A cute little girl yelled at the man who was holding her . The man placed her down
on the ground and stepped away respectfully . The sight made numerous passersby glance at them . A
bodyguard standing near the car pulled open the door to the backseat . The little girl immediately jumped in .
Her face didn’t possess any of the innocence that had previously decorated it . Like a little devil, she revealed
a proud smile, “Daddy, that Tang is so dumb . He believed everything I said . ”
Leaning against the back of the seat, Albert placed down the wineglass he had in his hand . He spread his
arms and said, “My little Annie is so smart . ”
Annie rushed into his arms . Laughing, she leaned against Albert’s chest . “Daddy, I like him . ”
“Is that so? Daddy is the same as Annie . Daddy also likes that dumb man . ” Albert smiled at her . “Come, tell
Daddy what you two did earlier . How did he respond to the questions Daddy had told you to ask?”
