"Don't even think about getting Xiaxia. Xiaxia would rather go pick up trash than accept you."
Later, the little guy cried until he was too tired to cry anymore and rested for a while. He even climbed to the head of the bed, picked up the water cup his father had prepared for him, drank a few sips, and then sobbed out these words.
He had considered living with his father, but that was after he had found a suitable partner for his father, and that partner might not be too keen on having another child.
He would never leave as long as his father still wanted him.
"No, I didn't kick your father out."
Wei Yutang had seen Xia Xia being difficult before, at most he was very resistant to him, but this was the first time he had seen the power of Xia Xia crying.
She cried all morning, hitting herself as she cried, her swollen eyes making her look like she had suffered some great injustice.
"And what about my dad?"
"I'm not quite sure either."
Wei Yutang had been drinking with his brother who had just returned to China yesterday. He planned to rest in one of his apartments nearby afterward, so he sent his driver away first.
I vaguely remember seeing that guy's boyfriend come over, grab his ear, and scold him for drinking too much.
Alcohol made Wei Yutang more impulsive, and in that instant, he missed Chu Qing terribly.
Although he was drunk, he still remembered that he couldn't drive after drinking, so he walked towards the location he remembered.
After that, Wei Yutang didn't remember much, and he was even less clear why Chu Qing wasn't there now.
"You're the one who lost my dad, you have to pay for it!"
Seeing that Xiaxia had rested and was about to start crying again, Wei Yutang hurriedly went over and hugged him. He took out his phone to check the time and saw a message from Chu Qing as soon as he unlocked it.
“Your dad went to work and said he’ll be back tonight. He asked me to take care of you first.”
Wei Yutang spoke very quickly. Xia Xia, with tears still clinging to her curled eyelashes, looked up and stared at her father with a suspicious gaze.
Really?
"Really, I'll take you to pick up Dad from get off work this afternoon."
"Then, I'm hungry."
At this moment, Xiaxia realized that her father also had to go to work and work hard to earn money to support her, so she stopped making a fuss and instead covered her stomach.
Normally, Xiaxia would be eating the snacks she had at daycare at this time, but today she hasn't even had breakfast yet.
As soon as he finished speaking, as if to verify his statement, his stomach very obligingly growled twice.
"I can't cook."
"Then you're so useless, even Dad can do it."
Xia Xia, who loves cleanliness, originally wanted to use Wei Yutang's clothes to wipe her tears and snot, but as soon as she got close, she smelled the unpleasant smell of alcohol on him.
Disgusted, her little face scrunched up, and she quickly pulled her head back, rolled over, and got out of bed to find some tissues.
Wei Yutang called his personal assistant and driver, asking the driver to come pick him up.
It was somewhat rare for Wei Yutang to drink too much alcohol, as he had a slight obsession with cleanliness and couldn't stand himself like that.
Xiaxia ran back to her room to find clean clothes to change into. When she got her clothes, she saw that the blanket on her bed hadn't been folded yet, and guessed that her father might have slept here last night.
It was when her father came over that he pushed her father away. Maybe it was because her father held Xiaxia tightly and wouldn't let go that her father didn't take Xiaxia away.
As she walked out, Wei Yutang happened to be waiting there. Xia Xia gritted her teeth in anger, put her hands on her hips, and cursed:
"You liar!"

Goodnight, my darlings~
Chapter 10
Having just been slandered and driven away by Chu Qing, Wei Yutang is now being labeled a liar, leaving him utterly helpless.
"How did I lie to you this time?"
Xiaxia tugged at his clothes and pulled him into her room. The blanket on the small bed, which was only 1.5 meters wide, was not folded up, indicating that someone had slept there last night.
"You're the one who pushed Dad out!"
Although Wei Yutang didn't have much memory of what happened after last night, he could vaguely guess from the scene in front of him now.
He came knocking on the door in the middle of the night but wasn't thrown out. Instead, Chu Qing was allowed to spend the night in Xia Xia's room.
This is a children's bed. Chu Qing, a normal adult man, probably couldn't even stretch his legs out on such a small bed.
"You're not in your room?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaxia immediately became alert, puffed out her cheeks, and put her hands on her hips as she replied:
“Xiaxia is still young, so Daddy has to hold her to sleep. Father, you are so old, you should learn to sleep by yourself.”
Wei Yutang's original intention was to divert Xia Xia's attention, but he did not expect Xia Xia to be as sensitive as before, as if she were guarding against a thief, and she squatted down to look him in the eye.
Before he could even speak, he heard a knock on the door. Guessing it was his assistant, he went over and opened the door.
"President Wei."
"Um."
Wei Yutang nodded slightly, turned to look at Xia Xia who was still standing by the door, and said:
"Let's go, I'll bring you back after your dad gets off work."
"Okay then."
Xiaxia picked up the little backpack her father had bought for her recently, took the keys from the house, put them in the backpack, and zipped it up.
Wei Yutang originally wanted to hug him, but Xia Xia quickly avoided him and ran to the front.
As he ran, his hair bounced up and down, as if saying, "Don't touch me!"
A luxury car was parked downstairs. The driver recognized Xia Xia and opened the car door for her when she appeared.
"Back to the villa in East Bay."
After Wei Yutang came up, Xiaxia quickly moved her little bottom to sit in the place furthest from him, and Wei Yutang could see the disgust in her eyes when she glanced at him.
He often comes to this villa because it's close to Wei Yutang's company.
There were many flowers in a very exquisite courtyard. Xiaxia could tell at a glance that they were very expensive. She walked in and sat down on the leather sofa. The crystal chandelier in the living room was very beautiful.
"I'm going to take a shower first. Butler, prepare two breakfasts."
Only after Wei Yutang reminded her did Xiaxia realize that she was hungry. She clutched her stomach, collapsed onto the sofa, and said in a pitiful voice:
"Are you really my father? My stomach is so empty... Dad wouldn't let me go hungry."
Hearing this, Wei Yutang, who was about to go upstairs, turned around and knelt down in front of Xia Xia.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through."
Xiaxia gave a soft snort and turned her head away.
"Go take a shower, Father, you stink."
The thought of having slept with such a smelly father all night made Xiaxia restless, and she jumped off the sofa on her own initiative.
"Give me a wash too."
"OK."
Wei Yutang reached out his hand to Xia Xia, and Xia Xia placed her small hand in his palm and was led into the indoor elevator.
Everything here was completely unfamiliar to Xiaxia; she had never been to such a luxurious place while living with her father.
No matter how good this place is, he still misses his little home with his father.
"Go find your own change of clothes first."
After opening a door, Wei Yutang gently nudged Xia Xia's shoulder.
When they were renovating the villa here, they had a room specially designed for Xiaxia, and the wardrobe was filled with clothes suitable for him.
Xiaxia opened the wardrobe door herself and stared wide-eyed at the sight of the clothes hanging inside.
"Wow!"
While marveling at the sight of so many clothes, she thought to herself, "My father can't wear them all anyway. I must pack them when I leave. It will save him a lot of money on clothes."
The housekeeper was left there to watch over Xiaxia. Wei Yutang went to the bathroom to take a quick shower and changed into clean clothes. When he came out, Xiaxia ran over with the clothes she had chosen.
Xiaxia put the clothes on the stool and stood in front of her father. The two stared at each other for a long time.
Until Xiaxia started to get impatient and couldn't help but urge:
"Why are you looking at me like that? Help me take off my clothes. What kid takes a bath by himself?"
"Oh, okay."
Wei Yutang admitted that he had no experience in taking care of children. He bent down to help Xiaxia take off her clothes, and was inevitably a little clumsy in the process, which earned him a lot of complaints from Xiaxia.
After helping Xiaxia take a bath, Wei Yutang was covered in sweat. He felt relieved when he saw Xiaxia standing in front of him in clean clothes.
"How stupid."
"Let's go eat."
After speaking, Xiaxia first leaned close to Wei Yutang, carefully smelled his scent to make sure that her father smelled good, and then stretched out her hands to him.
"Hmm? Do you want a hug?"
Previously, when Wei Yutang observed Xia Xia and Chu Qing's interactions, it seemed that Xia Xia mostly walked on her own, and her short legs looked incredibly strong.
When Wei Yutang held Xiaxia in his arms, feeling the strange sensation of his forearms around her neck, her heart raced a little due to nervousness.
"Father, do you know how to take care of children?"
After saying that, Xiaxia, who felt like she was about to faint from hunger, leaned on Wei Yutang's shoulder, her lips pursed so much that they could almost hang an oil can on them.
"Hmph~"
While waiting for the elevator to go down, Wei Yutang could see Xia Xia's face in the elevator's reflection. He leaned close to her ear and whispered:
