With Xia Xia being so clever, Wei Yutang felt he could never regret it. He swiped the screen to answer, while Feng You reached out and pressed the speakerphone button.
"Father~"
Xiaxia deliberately acted coquettishly, her voice very cute and endearing, which made Wei Yutang unable to resist curling his lips into a smile.
"Huh? I'm here. What's up?"
At this moment, Feng You gave him a wink, which was roughly to say to Wei Yutang, "See, he guessed right, and here it is."
"Father, Dad found out you bought Xiaxia a toy airplane."
"Dad won't let you play?"
Aside from this reason, Wei Yutang really couldn't think of anything else that would make Xia Xia call him.
"No, Father, you bought Xiaxia a toy airplane, but what did you buy for Dad?"
"How about you buy Dad a big airplane, Father? Or you can send him money if you don't want to buy it."
While Xiaxia was playing with his toy airplane, his father was making him a small cake in the kitchen. Xiaxia couldn't help but complain to his father that he had forgotten to buy a toy airplane for his father when he bought one for himself.
After saying that, Xiaxia paused for a moment and then hurriedly continued, not giving Wei Yutang a chance to answer.
"Thank you, Father. Xiaxia loves you the most. Kisses."
Before Wei Yutang could answer, he heard a beeping sound from the phone. After the screen automatically turned off, Feng You's eyes widened like saucers.
"Private jet?"
Author's Note:
Xiaxia: Big Toy Airplane
Feng You: Private jet?
Xiaxia: Yeah, a private jet!
Good night~
Chapter 6
Feng You, wearing two rings on his fingers, picked up his glass and took a sip of wine to calm himself down.
"Brother, in our circle, even the most generous people who keep mistresses don't give them private jets. This is really asking for the moon."
After all, a lover is more like a plaything. When you're bored, teasing them and giving them something are rewards for making them happy.
Seemingly generous, but actually extremely stingy.
Wei Yutang had felt an unconscious dislike for Chu Qing ever since Feng You first mentioned him today, and now that feeling of resistance had reached its peak.
Given his personality, he shouldn't have argued too much with Feng You, but this time he loosened his tie and said impatiently in a low voice:
"Chu Qing is not my lover."
"Oh right, he's Xiaxia's biological father, but so what?"
"I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Don't talk about Chu Qing like that again."
After saying this, Wei Yutang stood up and walked out. He had been there for quite some time. Before this, he simply disliked the overly bright and bustling scene, but now he felt a sense of disgust.
While walking along the roadside waiting for the driver to bring the car over, I took a few steps along the road, hoping to let the night breeze clear away my chaotic thoughts, when I unexpectedly bumped into someone I recognized.
After dinner, Chu Qing took Xia Xia out for a walk. When they arrived at a park a little further away, Xia Xia was squatting there watching other children fishing with small fishing rods.
Their world used to be so vast that unless Chu Qing deliberately made a point of it, they might not see each other even once a month.
But now it seems so small that Wei Yutang could easily bump into it no matter what he was doing.
In the past, Wei Yutang would have definitely suspected that Chu Qing had deliberately asked his secretary for his schedule again, but at this moment, he didn't even think about it that way.
He walked towards the park, with Chu Qing and Xia Xia both having their backs to him.
"Dad, look how stupid these fish are."
"Your father treats you well, just like these things on the table. If you bite into them like a fish, you'll be fooled, you know?"
Xiaxia earnestly tried to persuade her father, saying that although he was very rich, he was still handsome even with his icy expression.
But his father had a bad temper, and in the TV shows, fathers like his always had shady hobbies. He didn't seem like the kind of person who could live a good life with his father.
Chu Qing scanned the stall owner's QR code, took the fishing rod, and handed it to Xia Xia.
"I understand, and I'll remember it. Thank you, Xiaxia, you're such a smart girl."
"Hoo~"
Wei Yutang stood behind a green tree, intending to go up and say hello, but he stopped in mid-air because of what they said.
Just then, his phone rang. It was the driver calling to inquire about something, and he turned and walked towards the side of the road.
Sitting in the car, I reached out and supported my head. Perhaps because of the alcohol, my head was a little sore. I massaged it with light but firm pressure, and then something inappropriately popped into my mind.
If Chu Qing were here, he would probably make himself a bowl of hangover soup, and Xia Xia might come over to smell him, and then complain, "Don't smell like a father."
Xiaxia caught two small fish in the park, put them in a transparent box, and had the stall owner cover it for her before she carried it in her hand.
"Dad, I will take good care of these two little fish!"
It was the first time Xiaxia had a small animal companion, and she cherished it very much. Just as she was about to leave the park, she saw another vendor selling turtles.
Placed in a large basin, the turtle was very lively, crawling around everywhere. After attracting Xiaxia to stop, she couldn't move any further.
How much does a turtle cost?
"Those with flowers are fifteen, those without flowers are twenty."
There were quite a few people gathered around this stall, and the stall owner told them the price without even looking up.
Chu Qing glanced at the turtles in the basin. They were all about the same size, and some of them had prints on their shells, all of which were images of main characters from popular cartoons.
Whether the system was bored or not, it suddenly popped up in Chu Qing's mind and reminded him:
"Tsk, unscrupulous merchants. They were all the same price at first, but then someone explained that the printing was bad for the growth of turtles, so they turned around and started making money off them."
Even without the system notification, Chu Qing could tell that some children had started lying on the ground crying because their parents thought the turtles were too expensive.
Xiaxia didn't. She sat there and watched for a while, and when she felt she had seen enough, she took her father's hand and urged him to leave.
After thinking for a while, Chu Qing squatted down in front of Xia Xia and said:
"Xiaxia, pick one you like and buy it."
Twenty yuan for a turtle that's only slightly bigger than a fingernail is really not a good deal. I should be able to buy one cheaper at the flower and bird market tomorrow, but Xiaxia's excitement now will be dashed when she can't buy one tomorrow.
Xiaxia stared at the turtle in the basin for a moment, then answered softly:
"A bit expensive..."
Chu Qing didn't know how to persuade the stingy child, since the other children were all parents trying to convince their kids not to do it.
"Then, buy it first and you can ask your father for reimbursement later?"
Upon hearing this, the little guy, whose head had been drooping, suddenly raised his head, his eyes lighting up, and nodded with a mischievous smile.
"Okay! Boss, I'll take two."
Xiaxia, carrying a small fish, asked her father to hold her turtle for her, and walked on the sidewalk holding her father's hand.
When I call my father tonight, I'll casually ask him when he plans to buy me a big airplane.
The child doesn't accept empty promises; tomorrow he wants to see the big airplane his father gave his dad!
Taking good care of two kinds of small animals is not an easy task. Luckily, there was a store still open on their way home, so Chu Qing and Xia Xia went in and bought a fish tank and a turtle tank.
When Chu Qing carried the things back, she explained it to Xia Xia.
"Let's buy a bigger one after we rent a new place next time, otherwise moving will be a huge hassle, okay?"
Okay~
When Xiaxia got home, she and her father first settled the fish and turtle, then she took a bath, changed into clean pajamas, lay down in her father's bed, and called her father while he was sleeping.
"Hello? This is Xiaxia. Where is my father?"
Previously, Wei Yutang had always taught Xiaxia to call his secretary using the same number. When the secretary answered in the middle of the night, he regretfully informed her that Mr. Wei had already left work and would call back the next day.
"Oh, okay then."
After hanging up the phone, the secretary remembered that President Wei had previously instructed her to contact him anytime if it was Xia Xia.
I glanced at the time and realized it was quite late. After thinking for a while, I decided to call anyway.
Wei Yutang had just finished showering and was sitting on the balcony smoking. His slender fingers were a cold white in the dim light, with only one dim yellow lamp. He held a cigarette between his index and middle fingers.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Xiaxia just called, and I told him you would call him back tomorrow."
"Um."
After Wei Yutang hung up, he dialed back. The little guy, who was huddled in bed waiting for his father to come out, heard the phone ring. He didn't recognize the photo, but after swiping to answer, he said:
"I'm Xiaxia, who are you?"
"It's me. Is there something you need?"
Xia Xia was startled when he heard the familiar voice, and the phone he was holding was smashed in his face, making him yelp in pain.
I rubbed the spot where I'd been hit, and when I picked up my phone again, the call had already ended.
Before the call was disconnected, Wei Yutang could vaguely hear Xia Xia's voice, which sounded like she was crying, and immediately sent a video call invitation.
"Xiaxia, what just happened?"
Xiaxia was still teary-eyed from the pain, and after pouting, she replied:
"My phone hit my nose, Father... When are you going to buy me a phone that won't hurt if it hits my nose?"
"Let's go to the mall together next time."
Previously, Wei Yutang could never bear to refuse Xia Xia, especially when he heard him ask him for things in his childish voice, even though he knew it might be Chu Qing who taught him.
"Father, tonight Dad took Xiaxia to buy two fish and two little turtles. Dad didn't want to buy them, but Xiaxia insisted. Xiaxia said Dad would reimburse her."
