Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Knowing the Truth
Although he successfully dealt with the little guy, Lin Mubai’s heart was still bleeding. His sorrowful gaze fell on a certain woman. Why? Why? She just won’t pay attention to him.
At this moment, Lin Mubai was completely at a loss, even more unsure of what to do to get that little woman to give him a smile.
That night, An Nan didn’t lock the door, but even so, Lin Mubai didn’t dare to rudely barge in. If he wasn’t afraid of a petty little woman disappearing without a trace the next day, he needed to be more considerate.
That night, without the soft jade in his arms, Lin Mubai hardly slept.
The next morning, Xi Shaoqi arrived right on time to pick up the little one.
An Nan gave some brief instructions, then turned back to her room to catch up on sleep, leaving Lin Mubai to see the two of them off downstairs.
Downstairs, after letting the little one sit in the car, Xi Shaoqi, with a half-smile, looked at his good brother with heavy dark circles: "What’s going on? Did you make An Nan angry?"
Although annoyed that the truth was exposed, Lin Mubai honestly nodded, "Mm." His voice was filled with reluctance.
The other quickly understood, the curve of his lips rising more amusedly, then he reached out to pat his friend’s shoulder encouragingly: "Alright, I’ll take Little Jia You, you two enjoy a good day together, I hope you’ll soon win the beauty’s heart."
"Humph, just hurry up and leave." Lin Mubai didn’t appreciate his friend’s goodwill at all, because he knew full well that this guy was probably very pleased inside, waiting to laugh at his expense.
So indeed, there’s no doubt that they’re good brothers, as they understand each other well.
Then, Xi Shaoqi left with the child, and while waiting at a red light, he tilted his head to look at the well-behaved little one beside him: "Jiayou, where do you want to go today?"
The little guy looked at him with a confused gaze, then shook his head: "I don’t know, I just got back to B City." The hidden implication was that he wasn’t familiar, so Xi Shaoqi should decide.
It was Xi Shaoqi’s first time interacting with such a little one, feeling a bit at a loss. Relying on his memory, he thought of a few places that kids of this age might like, only to have them all rejected one by one. He really didn’t have any other ideas, so, thinking it over, he used the excuse of going to the bathroom to call Zhao Tianchen, who always enjoyed playing.
The person on the other end was clearly woken up in the middle of a nap, speaking with annoyance: "Who is it, disturbing my beauty sleep so early in the morning?"
"It’s me."
Xi Shaoqi’s deep voice reached the other side, and Zhao Tianchen instantly woke up: "What’s going on? Calling me so early in the morning."
He had been messed with by a certain little woman all day and night, finally making it home at dawn, and had only slept a few hours before being woken up. Anyone would be upset.
And when he thought about the culprit behind all this, his heart was both bitter and helpless.
That night, he clearly remembered what the little woman said after getting drunk. Knowing why the little woman hated him, he truly felt more wronged than Dou E. He was simply doing a favor for a friend, and somehow it turned into him being the irresponsible man. What was even more frustrating was that the little woman refused to listen to his explanation at all; every time he opened his mouth, she’d immediately tell him to "get lost."
