Chapter 650 - 648: She Is In Charge of Being Angry, He Is In Charge of Pacifying
Xiao Jinghuai: "..."Song Song: "..."
Lan Yuzhe stifles a laugh—
Xiao Beibei is only eleven years old now, but the wisdom in his eyes is definitely beyond twenty. He first sits down himself and then naturally places Little Xiyou on his lap, his gaze not straying as it lands on his father Xiao Jinghuai, "Dad, you didn’t send us away on purpose just so you could marry this ugly man, right?"
"..." Song Song almost choked, wishing to tear off the fake face on the spot.
Lan Yuzhe continues to stifle his laughter helplessly, thinking that if Bai Jiayin were here, she’d be shaking that fancy fan of hers and laughing uncontrollably.
Xiao Jinghuai’s expression grows a bit more serious, "Of course not, besides your mom and I haven’t divorced yet. Remarrying would be committing bigamy."
"True." Xiao Beibei raises an eyebrow, "But that foolish woman definitely isn’t coming back. Haven’t you thought about your own plans for the second half of your life?"
Song Song screams internally: Damn it, who are you calling a foolish woman, who said I won’t come back, I’m right here, you just didn’t see it because you’re blind.
She’s really pissed, and seeing Lan Yuzhe stifle a laugh makes her even angrier, so she directly slaps him.
Knowing his disciple is living in such "hot water," how can he just stand by and watch as a teacher? Does that make any sense?
Xiao Jinghuai doesn’t like Song Song being so intimate with Lan Yuzhe; these casual, affectionate gestures are even harder for him to accept than regular hugs or kisses.
It shows that she has no defensiveness toward this person, meaning she trusts him completely.
Trust?
Their relationship hasn’t reached that level of trust, yet she and this Lan Yuzhe...
Thinking of this, Xiao Jinghuai feels even more stifled.
To Xiao Beibei, at this moment, his father’s gaze is filled with overwhelming possessiveness, aimed squarely at that ugly man. He doesn’t want to stay here any longer, afraid he’ll get a sty from staring too long.
He picks up Little Xiyou and decisively throws down a statement, "We’re not going anywhere."
Meaning you guys figure it out yourselves! Then he resolutely walks out of the living room, preparing to take the child to sleep.
Song Song is so angry she wants to scratch the walls. She plops down next to Xiao Jinghuai, crossing her arms and pouting angrily, "Is this the good son you’ve raised?"
"Hmm." Xiao Jinghuai responds lowly.
"He’s... why is he so disobedient?" Song Song’s mind flashes to Little Xiyou’s dependence on that kid, "Agh! Aren’t you going to do something?"
"Do what?" Xiao Jinghuai picks up a piece of gum from the coffee table and tosses it into his mouth, "Bao Bei’s grades are first in the whole school every year. He’s only in elementary school, but he’s already finished studying middle school subjects. It seems he’s now self-studying high school materials; he doesn’t need me to manage him."
Then he adds cautiously, "He’s way more worry-free than you are."
Song Song: "..."
Lan Yuzhe senses something is off in the air, so he sensibly stands up and says, "Anyway, I can’t leave yet. I still need to find those lost documents. You guys... chat slowly, I’m heading back to the room."
Xiao Jinghuai gives a polite smile, thinking this third master sure knows how to read the room.
Soon, only two people are left in the living room, one with arms spread out like a lord, the other pouting sulkily.
Actually, Song Song has been waiting for him to speak first. Since she came back from Taohuawu, their interaction pattern has been her being angry, and him coaxing, but today is a bit of an exception. Five or six minutes have passed, and he still hasn’t made any move.
"Hey! Xiao Jinghuai..." She nudges him with her elbow.
"What?" The man turns his head, his expression one of distant indifference.
Seeing his expression, Song Song suddenly becomes a bit tongue-tied, "You..."
