During this time, Ji An'an went to the washroom and asked Xie Langxuan to look after Shuibao.
Many of Xie Langxuan's family members had already gotten married. He had interacted with children many times, so he started to talk with Shuibao.
At the beginning, Shuibao was very wary of this uncle of his. However, this uncle's tone was very gentle and always had a smile on it.
Xie Langxuan asked casually, "Was it your dad that hugged you in the alley last time?"
Shuibao shook his head, "No, that's my uncle. He's amazing. There are so many people working for him!"
Not Shuibao's father?
"What does your father do?"
Shuibao's smile slowly turned sad, "Mommy said that Daddy went far away, but I know Mommy lied to me!"
After saying that, he smiled again, because he knew that Daddy was in this city. Yesterday, Daddy even hugged him!
Xie Langxuan couldn't help but sit up. He didn't expect to get so much information out of a casual question.
He did not notice the change in Shuibao's mood and was surprised instead.
In other words, An An didn't end up with Teng Yiyang, but had a different marriage. However, her husband had unfortunately passed away.
Doesn't that mean he still had a chance?
Although this thought was very unkind, he was still unable to contain his excitement.
However, he felt even more sorry for her having to raise Shuibao on her own at such a young age. His eyes were filled with pity as he looked at the person that was walking back from not too far away.
Ji An'an walked to the table and apologized, "There are a lot of people. I've made you wait for a long time, do you still want to continue eating?"
"It's almost time to eat, and it's getting late. I'll send you back!" Xie Langxuan stood up and carried Shuibao for her.
Ji An'an originally wanted to refuse, but seeing that Shuibao did not resist Xie Langxuan's contact, she was a little surprised. She missed the best time to reject him. Looking at the tall man's back, she could only shake her head and follow with a smile.
When they arrived at the entrance of the residential complex, Ji An'an carried Shuibao off the car and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry for making the big boss become a driver again."
"You are a comic book that our company has sincerely invited to stay. It wasn't easy to convince you to stay, of course you have to be of service. Besides, you're going to treat tonight too. It's not like I can just eat for free. Shuibao, what do you say? " Xie Langxuan stood beside the car and responded with a teasing smile.
Shuibao nodded with a smile.
His words made her feel less burdened. She had to admit, she was very relaxed with this person.
Xie Langxuan continued, "Dinner is very delicious. Thank you for your hospitality. If there's a chance next time, please give it to me with Shuibao. I'll treat you."
Ji An'an said awkwardly, "How can I let you spend the money?"
With a smile, he said, "Being able to eat with a beauty and little Meng Quan is a very enjoyable thing to watch."
Ji An'an could no longer refuse. "Then if there's a chance —"
"I look forward to it."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. After saying their goodbyes, Xie Langxuan sent the two of them off.
Only when he could no longer see anyone did he withdraw his gaze. He raised his head and looked at the night sky filled with stars, and the curve of his lips could no longer help but rise.
If she was alone, he could pursue her in broad daylight.
However, from the looks of it, she only treated him as a subordinate right now. He had to go back and think carefully about how to close the distance between them and then attack the beauty's defenses.
Xie Langxuan was in a good mood as he turned around and left. A few minutes later, another car stopped in front of him.
Teng Yiyang opened the car door and got out with a cold expression. He closed the door and took out his phone to call Ji An'an.
This time, he was smarter, so he changed his card.
Ji An'an had just returned home and was pouring a glass of water for Shuibao when her phone rang. When she saw that it was an unfamiliar number, she hung up without a second thought.
He just didn't think this person would be so persistent. After dying two times, he called him back.
Not like a salesman.
She picked up the call, but before she could open her mouth, a cold voice came from the other side.
"You finally answered the phone. I thought I'd call at least a few more."
The voice was familiar, so familiar that the moment she opened her mouth, she knew who it was.
"T-Teng Yiyang?"
"That's right, it's me. Don't hang up, I have something important to talk to you about."
Ji An'an frowned. "I don't have much to do with you, what important things can I do with you?" I don't have time to bother with you right now.
Teng Yiyang leaned on the car door, looked up at their house and said confidently, "I know you're at home, I'm at the entrance of your sector, get out"
Ji An'an was just about to hang up the phone when she heard his words and walked to the balcony. The intersection of the residential district was brightly lit, and the silhouette of the man and the carriage was faintly discernible. Although she could not see his expression, she could tell that he was in a very bad mood from the way he was leaning against the car.
"We have nothing to say. Let's do it this way!"
She hung up the phone neatly and shut it off almost in one go.
Teng Yiyang muttered a curse and immediately redialed the number. However, he didn't expect that it would be replaced by a cold, robotic female voice.
It was the same with Shuibao's phone number.
He turned and kicked the wheel in frustration.
He was supposed to come over during the day, but the company had something on his mind and he couldn't leave, so he had to go deal with it first.
By the time he was done, it was already on the tops of the trees.
However, she didn't expect to disappear the moment they arrived.
He fished out his pack of cigarettes and lit one.
In the midst of the smoke, he rubbed his forehead. During this period of time, it was as if he was on a coda, unable to be at ease for even a moment.
After confirming that Ji An'an really wouldn't come down, he coldly laughed at himself. She wouldn't be able to hide from him for the first fifteen years.
He took a deep breath, took out his cell phone again, typed a text message, and sent it. Then he got into the car and left.
After Shuibao had showered, he rolled around in his blanket until he found something. He lifted the blanket and saw that it was the charger that he did not find today. He immediately charged the phone that he had been starving for the whole day.
After the phone was turned on, a text message came in.
Unfortunately, he only knew the numbers and didn't know the words. When Mommy came out of the shower, he immediately ran up to her and handed it to her.
"Mommy, help me look at what's written inside."1
Ji An'an picked it up and saw that it was Teng Yiyang's number.
"Ji An'an, let's talk. You decide when and where. I must see you."
Ji An'an frowned. With such a harsh tone, who would want to see him!?
She clicked delete and said to Shuibao, "It's just a trash message. It doesn't matter."
Shuibao nodded, then took the phone and ran back to charge it.
Looking at her son's happy back, Ji An'an suppressed the trace of unease in her heart. He probably didn't want to talk about Shuibao with her. This person must have been causing trouble for her.
