C542 Minus Points!!
"Eve, let's call it a day. You have a guest, so we'll continue another day." Ling Yao sent the other children away. Mrs. York had good judgment and wanted to say goodbye.
Hai Xiaomin asked Mrs. York to come to her house to revise her recent thesis. Now that Ling Yao was here, it would not be convenient. She wanted to agree, but Ling Yao spoke first. "No worries. It is almost noon. Mrs. York might as well stay and finish lunch before leaving."
After saying that, Ling Yao turned his head and looked at Hai Xiaomin with a smile.
What the hell? Hai Xiaomin faced the man's eyes without batting an eyelid and deliberately raised her eyebrows.
Although she did not understand his intention, she still continued to persuade Mrs. York to stay. The latter was too kind and could not refuse so she could only stay.
After that, Hai Xiaomin introduced Lu Jing who came from the United States to Ling Yao. Ling Yao did not really care about him.
At the dining table, the combination of three big and two small people was a little strange.
Lu Jing was more afraid of strangers. With Mrs. York and Ling Yao around, he kept a low profile.
Elvis and the first two were very familiar with each other. The dining table was filled with his pleasant laughter.
Ling Yao and Mrs. York did not communicate with each other except for a few words with Elvis. Ling Yao did not seem to be surprised either. Hai Xiaomin thought that she must have thought too much earlier.
As for Hai Xiaomin and Ling Yao, both of them were hiding something in their minds. There was only a layer of paper between them that hadn't been officially exposed, and there were fewer topics at the table.
Overall, the meal went quite smoothly.
When Mrs. York was about to leave, elvis held onto his wife's skirt with a reluctant expression. Ling Yao did not understand, so Hai Xiaomin explained to him, "Mentor is a friendly person and likes children. He got to know Elvis after a few days."
So that's how it is... Ling Yao thought about it.
"Grandma York will come to see Elvis next time." Mrs. York squatted down and gently patted Elvis's head to say goodbye. Her gaze inadvertently passed over Elvis's head and saw Ling Yao who was talking to Hai Xiaomin. Coincidentally, the latter was also looking at her.
Both of their eyes met. Mrs. York smiled elegantly and nodded in greeting.
Ling Yao's eyes were deep. Could it be that they were really just similar in appearance?
"Grandma York, take care!" Elvis stood at the door and waved goodbye obediently.
After sending Mrs. York off, Elvis wanted to pester Ling Yao again, but was dismissed by Hai Xiaomin with a few words. "Elvis, can you play with brother Lu Jing first? Mommy and uncle still have some business to talk about."
Elvis pouted regretfully. "Alright then. I'll come back to Uncle Qiao later."
"Good boy!" Hai Xiaomin kissed Elvis on the cheek. She turned around and saw Ling Yao talking to the bodyguards in the corner.
"Go and investigate that woman's information. The more detailed the better!" Ling Yao was tall and straight. The side profile of his face was deep and three-dimensional, like an exquisite sculpture. His eyes, which were as clear as ink, were lowered. There were stars hidden in his eyes, deep and mysterious.
This man was constantly emitting his fatal temptation!
"Yes!" The bodyguard respectfully nodded. When he raised his head and saw Hai Xiaomin walking towards him, he lowered his head again.
Noticing Hai Xiaomin behind him, Ling Yao gave the bodyguard a look and said casually, "Go."
"Yes."
Ling Yao turned around and smiled at Hai Xiaomin. It was like the sea breeze blowing on the beach under the sun in March.
Hai Xiaomin looked at him from afar. It was as if she could hear her heart skip a beat. When she thought of her hot lips, she could not help but feel her cheeks heat up.
Hai Xiaomin admitted that when she saw Ling Yao's long legs wrapped in well-ironed pants slowly walking towards her, her heart was in a mess. There was nowhere to run in the big house. She saw Ling Yao take out a dark gray gift box that was half the size of a palm from his suit pocket. He spread it in his palm and took her hand to put it on.
Ling Yao stared straight into her eyes. Hai Xiaomin understood the encouragement in his eyes and hesitantly opened the gift box.
A transparent black diamond ring was low-profile but eye-catching, just like Ling Yao himself.1
Look at the size. It was a male ring. Looking at the design, it was exactly the same ring that he had proposed to her!
Hai Xiaomin raised her head in surprise and met Ling Yao's black eyes.
"In order to find a matching unique ring, I have waited a little too long." Ling Yao was rather emotional and indirectly explained to Hai Xiaomin why he did not wear a ring during that period of time.
Now, Hai Xiaomin's pair of small hands were bare and somewhat eye-catching at this moment.
However, she did not see any signs of wavering on the man's face.
"Oh, I have already thrown away my ring." Hai Xiaomin threw out a sentence disapprovingly. She deliberately wanted to embarrass him!
When she needed a wedding and needed him to confirm her feelings, he had put his mind on the ring. However, she did not keep the ring anymore. What was the point of what he had done before?
Ling Yao gave her the answer.
Without even blinking, he threw the gift box, along with the ring worth hundreds of millions, into the garbage basket in a parabola. "Then I don't need this."
What?
Hai Xiaomin opened her eyes wide in shock and her gaze fell on the rubbish bin. This priceless treasure had been thrown away just like that. She recalled the time when Ling Yao proposed to her, the ring had been snatched at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, causing a huge commotion.
"Anyway, the person you love is my person, not my money, right? Even if I have nothing, Hai Xiaomin will still follow me." Ling Yao grabbed her wrist and did not let go. He stared straight into her eyes and said righteously.
Hearing that, Hai Xiaomin was so angry that she laughed at him. " Mr. Nazhi, if a tree doesn't want its skin, it will die for sure. A man's shamelessness is invincible in this world! "
"No face, I still have my charisma! Is my charm not enough to move you? Un?" The corner of Ling Yao's mouth curled up as he did not forget to praise himself.
"Don't think that I'll forgive you just because you have a few glib words." Hai Xiaomin twisted her wrist and could not break free. "I'm too lazy to care about you. Hurry up and let go."
Ling Yao looked serious. "If you don't let go, it will not be easy for me to catch you again. This time, I will not let you go again."
Hai Xiaomin narrowed her eyes threateningly. "You really won't let me go?"
Ling Yao's heart jumped. Right now, his wife was the biggest. He did not want to be on the verge of provoking his wife and testing her. So he hesitated. "Then I'll let go. Can you forgive me?"
"It depends on your performance." Hai Xiaomin smiled and narrowed her eyes like a sly cat. "But you ruined my son's birthday party and directly reduced my points!"
Ling Yao was speechless and opened his mouth silently. He really did not have a good job as a daddy. He did not know that Hai Xiaomin had given birth in advance. Tang Xuan had made thorough arrangements in the past. Hai Xiaomin's experience of a long time after signing the divorce agreement and leaving seemed to have been erased. Even he could not find out.
Even though he did not know the specific details of Hai Xiaomin's pregnancy, he knew how dangerous it was for her to give birth in that time.
