Chapter 479: One Big, One Small
Xiao Jinghuai understood very well what he meant, and his gaze grew even deeper, "Grandfather, if you intend to use the Royal Family to achieve certain goals, then I advise you to give up on that idea.""If you insist on doing so, you can actually proceed. Qiao Yu is now Uncle’s fiancée, so she can be considered part of the family."
"..."
Xiao Jinghuai was trained by Xiao Zhongzhen himself, and because of this, the two of them understood each other’s tactics.
Mr. Xiao was once again furious, "You little brat, are you pretending to be ignorant with me! You know your uncle treats me like an enemy."
"This whole situation was his doing behind the scenes, the only way he would be on my side is if the sun rises in the west."
Xiao Jinghuai thought for a moment and said, "If there’s really a misunderstanding, you should talk it over directly with him, to prevent any more troubles in the future."
With this, the expression on Xiao Zhongzhen’s face darkened even more, and he waved his hand, "Alright, that’s my business, it has nothing to do with you!"
"What you need to think about now is Qiao Yu, think carefully about how you should interact with her from now on!"
Xiao Jinghuai was well aware, actually he had made a decision long ago, and had already explained everything to Qiao Yu...
As for whether she accepts it or not, that’s her business, it has nothing to do with him.
Xiao Jinghuai stepped out of the Xiao Family’s old house and looked up at the sky, only to see an ominous sensation in the floating clouds, as if something was about to happen—
He got into the car, his heart pounding uncontrollably.
He couldn’t just rely on what Elder Xiao showed him to conclude everything was true, it wasn’t that he was overly suspicious, but rather that the situation was too serious and required caution.
Xiao Jinghuai took out his phone and dialed Xing Quan’s number, "I need you to look into a few people for me."
If Song Xueqin’s biological daughter is truly Qiao Yu, there should at least be a reliable DNA test report—
But not long ago, Song Xueqin had already passed away, making it hard to confirm the truth.
"President Xiao..."
Xing Quan hesitated on the other end of the line.
Xiao Jinghuai frowned, "What is it?"
"President Xiao, have you resolved matters with Madam yet?"
Upon this topic, Xiao Jinghuai began to feel a headache coming on, it felt like pins were stabbing his brain, "Not yet, women are truly complicated creatures. I don’t know what she wants; compared to materialistic women, ones like her are even more troublesome."
"President Xiao, have you considered that maybe you’re overcomplicating things and perhaps what Madam wants is just a bit of security and honesty."
Xiao Jinghuai was puzzled, "Am I not giving her a sense of security?"
Xing Quan risked his job by saying, "Someone as outstanding as you, President Xiao, is surrounded by women. Madam might not be very confident in herself, always feeling that she’s not good enough, thinking she’s not a match for you, and coupled with your special relationship with Miss Qiao, it’s normal for her to overthink."
"..." Xiao Jinghuai truly hadn’t considered this.
He always thought some things didn’t need to be said; his actions have proven everything.
If he didn’t care about her, would he have rushed to Hong Kong right after Xiao Family’s crisis was averted?
Since her appearance, he maintained a safe distance from other women—
He, who has a severe obsession with cleanliness, isn’t content with just any woman.
Not to mention the number of times he’s wanted her in bed should be ample proof of her importance to him.
Damn it!
Thinking about it made him wish she were by his side right now.
No woman has ever made him sink so deeply, never!
The damn little thing still feels insecure, he really should drag her back and hold her in bed to make her see just how much security he can provide—
Xiao Jinghuai took a deep breath, "Thank you! I will seriously consider your words. Keep an eye on Xiao Family for now, I’m planning to take a break."
"Don’t reveal my whereabouts to anyone, not even... Elder Master."
Xing Quan realized with much relief, so he’s planning on a make-up honeymoon!
"And what about Bao Bei?"
Xiao Jinghuai felt a bit of a headache, how could he forget about the kid, "Uh, I’ll take him with me, so no need to worry."
Xing Quan was immediately thrilled, "That’s the best."
Heavens know how difficult it is to deal with that little devil, every meeting with him leaves Xing Quan spinning in circles.
If he ends up not wanting children, blame it on him for leaving such a shadow—
While others think children are angels, he happened to encounter a little devil.
...
In the past, Xiao Jinghuai was too engrossed in work, so he rarely took Xiao Beibei out for fun.
This time, when Xiao Beibei heard about the trip, he immediately had Sister-in-law Zhou call the school to ask for a leave.
Xiao Jinghuai knew that what was taught in school he already understood, sending him to an ordinary school was merely to help him integrate with the lives of normal children...
But this time it was different, without his little helper, things might not really pan out.
Xiao Jinghuai took the little guy and went straight to Hong Kong without delay, and as soon as they got off the plane, they were unfortunately met with a downpour.
Despite having a car pick them up, both caught some rain due to its severity—
The two arrived at the Huo Family in the dead of night, Xiao Jinghuai carried Bao Bei, and managed to enter after facial recognition at the front gate.
Xiao Beibei rarely fell sick but this time, unexpectedly came down with a high fever.
It was the first time Xiao Jinghuai encountered such a situation, and he was slightly panicked, especially upon seeing Bao Bei’s flushed cheeks and slightly open mouth, the fever making him delirious...
Song Song had developed a habit of getting up at night to check on Little Xiyou and feed her.
After feeding her this time, she felt a rumble of hunger in her own stomach and planned to head downstairs to find something to eat—
Upon reaching the bottom floor to head to the kitchen, she noticed the lights on in the living room, scaring her to the point her breathing changed.
Big brother was working overtime at the company today and hadn’t come home to sleep, could it be a thief?
Impossible.
The security here is very responsible, not even a fly could get in, let alone a person.
Song Song picked up a baseball bat from the wall and slowly approached the living room, only to find a person sitting on the sofa. Upon seeing who it was, she nearly hit him with it...
It’s him again!
Simply haunting.
But upon seeing the little guy in his arms, Song Song’s heart immediately softened, she dropped the bat and ran over, "What’s wrong with Bao Bei?"
Xiao Jinghuai quickly responded, "He...he has a fever."
It was the first time Song Song saw him wear such an expression, totally flustered, unlike the dominating figure with life-and-death power she knew him as...
Song Song hurriedly took Bao Bei from him, and touched his forehead, "It’s very hot, but it’s okay, the family has effective fever medicine."
"His clothes are all wet; they need to be changed quickly—"
Xiao Jinghuai nodded, "Mm."
Song Song returned with the fever medicine, only to find the man still standing there dumbfounded, seeming unsure of how to start undressing Bao Bei.
It was clear he rarely took care of Bao Bei personally, probably Sister-in-law Zhou had been the one taking care of him since childhood.
Song Song helplessly went over, popped the white pill into Bao Bei’s mouth, and as he swallowed it, she smiled, "There shouldn’t be a problem, he’s already swallowed it."
