The old lady's vision had declined, so she could not see the displeasure and anger on Rowdy's face. She just vaguely felt that he looked somewhat serious.
However, this did not affect the old lady's enthusiasm.
The elders had gone through a lot in their lives and had seen too many vicious people. For them, Rowdy was just a man who looked serious.
They would not have any prejudice against Rowdy because of this!
The elders were still smiling and looking at Rowdy curiously.
According to Rowdy's personality, if it were in the past, he would have asked someone to drive these people out of the small park.
He was Rowdy, not the monkey in the park!
Just as Rowdy was about to lose his temper, Yuna held his hand hard.
Rowdy knew what Yuna meant.
Yuna wanted to tell him that this was a public place, and he should restrain himself.
Besides, it would not be good for him if he made a big deal out of it and attracted Wesley's attention.
Rowdy took a deep breath quietly and decided to listen to Yuna.
Yuna had been observing Rowdy's expression silently. Seeing that he looked better, she was relieved.
She touched Rowdy's arm again and said, "Since so many people have greeted you, you should at least say 'Nice to meet you', right? Emily is so polite. If you have such a grim look on your face, everyone will think that Emily was actually abducted by you."
"Polite?"
Rowdy never knew what it was like to be polite. He lived in this world by relying on his strength, and he did not need to be polite.
Seeing that Rowdy did not respond, Yuna nudged him with her elbow to urge him.
"Ahem!" Rowdy could not stand Yuna. After hesitating for a long time, he finally squeezed out a sentence. "Madam, good morning."
"Good morning." The old lady greeted him enthusiastically. She pointed to a tree, not far away, where a group of old men gathered. "They are playing Chinese chess. Young man, do you want to join them?"
"Young man, do you want to join them?"
Rowdy suddenly felt a little confused. "Did he seem like the type to play with the elderly?"
At the thought of this, Rowdy's expression nearly soured again.
Xu Yuna knew that Rowdy did not like such statements. She coughed and reminded him to control himself.
Rowdy finally accepted Yuna's suggestion reluctantly. He tried to say in a gentle tone, "Madam, I can't play Chinese chess."
"Well, it's a pity!" The old lady shook her head with a look of regret. "I wanted to go over and show those old men what a fine young man's aura is like!"
Rowdy could not help sneering in his heart and thought that it was better for these old people not to know what he was like.
Once they saw his actual self, they would definitely regret greeting him today!
Yuna guessed that Wesley was about to lose his temper. She pulled Emily's hand and said, "Boy, go and save your daddy."
Emily blinked. He had a mischievous look on his face and said with a smile, "Daddy looks so miserable. I still want to stand by and watch him suffer for a little longer."
Yuna was speechless for a moment. She suddenly understood what it meant to "kid his father".
After that thought, she pulled the little boy and said patiently, "Go and save your daddy now. In the future, no matter what you ask for, he will grant it to you."
Emily's big black eyes widened. "Really? Alright, I'll go and save Daddy."
He ran over and took Rowdy's hand. "Daddy, I want to go and see the ducks. Can you go with me?"
Rowdy looked at the little boy. For the first time, he took the initiative to hold his hand as he nodded and said, "Okay." He kept his serious expression and smiled apologetically at the old lady. "Madam, excuse me."
The old lady liked Emily very much. Since the little boy asked his father to accompany him to watch the ducks, how could she ask Rowdy to stay?
"Go ahead." The old lady waved her hand. "Have a good time."
"Okay." Emily smiled like an innocent and harmless angel. "Goodbye, Madam."
As soon as Rowdy and Emily left, Yuna followed them to the lakeside.
There were a few white-feathered ducks raised in the lake, which were the common pets of the children in the old city area.
With their white feathers floating on the water, the ducks paddled around the pond, leaving ripples on the green water, which looked particularly pleasing to the eye.
Emily was not there to see the ducks. He released Rowdy's hand, jumped in front of him, and said seriously, "Daddy, I helped you. You have to agree to one of my requests in the future even if it's excessive!"
Rowdy frowned. How dare the little boy bargain with him?
He reached out his hand and suddenly pinched the little boy's ear. "What do you want from me?"
"Wah, wah, wah, wah!" Emily screamed as his cute little face puckered in pain. "Auntie Yuna, help, waaa..."
If it hadn't really hurt, the little boy would not be screaming like this.
Yuna walked over and tapped Rowdy's hand. "What are you doing? Let go of Emily."
Rowdy also cared about the little boy, so he soon released him.
Emily stopped crying, but he kept his head raised. No one knew what he was looking at.
Yuna raised her hand and waved it in front of the little boy's eyes. "Emily, what's wrong with you?"
Emily's voice had returned to normal. He pointed at a big red lantern with the word "Spring" pasted on it and asked, "Auntie Yuna, what's that? What's on the picture?"
He had never seen lanterns before, so he naturally did not know what they were.
Similarly, the little boy did not know Mandarin, so he directly regarded the word "Spring" on it as a picture.
"This?" Yuna smiled. "This is a lantern."
Emily still could not understand and blinked "What's the lantern for? Why do we have to hang it up? Will it feel uncomfortable?"
Yuna really did not know how to answer the little boy's last question. She could only tell him, "The lantern was originally used as a light. But now, people hang it up as a sign of celebration. When you see it lighting up, it means that a festival is coming soon."
"It's lighted up now!" Emily jumped up and down curiously. "Auntie Yuna, is there any festival recently?"
"The Spring Festival. We're going to celebrate the Spring Festival, just like Christmas day in America." Yuna rubbed the little boy's head. "Do you want to know about the Spring Festival?"
Emily nodded. "Yes, yes."
Yuna carefully explained to Emily about the Spring Festival and also its importance to Chinese people, and told him about the fireworks and firecrackers going off at midnight.
Emily did not like lively places, but he liked all the celebrations during festivals. Because only during festivals, would Yuna and Rowdy go to America to see him.
After Yuna finished telling him the facts, the little boy's eyes lit up. He asked expectantly, "Auntie Yuna, can we celebrate the Spring Festival together?"
"Of course," Yuna said with a smile, "We can go back and decorate the house and hang up the lanterns. Oh, we can also post couplets on the doors!"
"Great!" Emily looked excited and eager. "Shall we go back now?"
Yuna motioned for Emily to look at Rowdy. "You have to ask your daddy for permission. If he agrees, we'll go back and prepare for that."
Emily immediately pounced on Rowdy. "Daddy, shall we celebrate the Spring Festival together?"
Rowdy looked at Yuna unhappily, as if he blamed her for telling Emily about the Spring Festival. She should know better than anyone that Emily could not stand the temptation of any festivals.
Yuna came over and calmly explained, "Emily may live in China in the future, so it's a good idea for him to experience the traditional festivals in the country. Besides, you just came back this year. It's been many years since you last celebrated the Spring Festival, right?"
Rowdy did not reply.
After his father's death, all the festivals in the world were meaningless to him, let alone the Spring Festival which was a family day.
Yuna knew what Rowdy was thinking. She thought about it and continued, "You lost your father, but Emily did not. Don't you want to give Emily a warm and happy childhood?"
"Warm and happy?"
Something in Rowdy's heart seemed to be touched.
Yes.
He had lost his father, but his son's father was still alive in this world.
He had no way to celebrate a family day anymore, but he could let his son celebrate a family day.
In the end, Rowdy's expression changed and he did not look so stern anymore. "Let's go back now. You can decorate the house at your will."
In other words, he promised to let Yuna and Emily celebrate the Spring Festival.
Emily widened his eyes in disbelief. When he came to his senses, he rushed over to hug Yuna, exclaiming, "Yeah! Auntie Yuna, it is great, isn't it?"
Yuna touched the little boy's head and said with a smile, "Yeah, it's great. Well, let's go back and prepare for that now."
"Okay!"
Emily obediently held Yuna's hand and walked toward the old house.
Rowdy sent Yuna and Emily to the door of their house. Instead of entering, he just watched them from the outside.
Emily turned around and asked curiously, "Daddy, aren't you coming in?"
"I don't have time to decorate the house with you. I'll leave it to you," Rowdy said, "I'll come back and have dinner with you in the evening."
"Okay." Although Emily was a little disappointed, he did not pester Rowdy. He just waved at Rowdy and said, "Goodbye, Daddy."
After that, Emily took Yuna's hand and hopped into the room.
Rowdy stood at the door and did not get in the car until he could not see Yuna and Emily anymore.
Milo started the car and said while controlling the steering wheel, "Brother Rowdy, Kim told me that he had almost finished his business in Canada and wants to come back."
Rowdy lit a cigarette and said, "Tell him to come back as soon as he's done with his work. We've been busy recently."
