The Struggles of Being A Mother of Villains - Chapter 173
Ch.173 Mama and Papa’s precious baby (5)
Wen Lie could feel an overwhelming sense of shame coming down on him, and he didn’t say another word during their trip. After sending Xiao Ruoguang off, Ji Xuan told Uncle Lin to make a stop at a shop he frequented. Then, he walked to the back of the car and said to Wen Lie, “Get off.”
Wen Lie looked at Xiao Yu, and seeing no reaction from her, he got off the car in shame.
Ji Xuan took his slightly dirty hand and took him inside. Meanwhile, Xiao Yu took out her phone and began playing Match Two. Even though Ji Yu was curious, she stopped herself from asking in the end.
After watching her play two rounds, she realized that her Mama’s reaction was very fast, so she followed Xiao Ruoguang’s example and cheered, “Mama is amazing!”
Xiao Yu said proudly, “These are probably the only skills I can show off nowadays, hahahahaha…” 404 har worked her reaction speed up to a very high level.
About half an hour later, Ji Yu saw her Papa come out, and her deskmate was hiding behind him. So, when her deskmate got into the car, Ji Yu was stunned. She asked, “How come you changed?”
Ji Xuan got in the front and turned back, saying to Ji Yu, “Papa bought it for him.”
“Why?” Ji Yu asked. Wen Lie was also staring dumbfoundedly at the man in the front.
Ji Xuan frowned. “What do you mean why? Does there have to be a reason? If I had to say, then it’s because he’s your deskmate, and deskmates should take care of each other.”
Ji Yu pondered for a moment, then she crossed over Xiao Yu and took Wen Lie’s hand, saying, “I’ll take care of you, deskmate.”
Wen Lie looked at the pair of hands in front of him. At this moment, he had just washed his hair and taken a shower, and there were surprisingly even clothes for him at the bathhouse. The black sweater, the dark blue loose jeans, and the pair of dark red sneakers on his feet were all bought by the man at the front, simply because he was his daughter’s deskmate.
Wen Lie looked at Ji Yu’s innocent eyes, but he was scoffing in his heart. “Such good children can only come from a happy family, unlike me, wanted by nobody.”
“Deskmate?” Ji Yu cocked her head to the side.
Only then did Wen Lie say, “Wen Lie. My name is Wen Lie.”
Xiao Yu rubbed her chin and patted Wen Lie’s head under his cold gaze, “So it’s Lie Lie!”
Wen Lie, “…My name is Wen Lie.”
“Lie Lie~”
“Wen Lie.” Clearly, Wen Lie was very insistent on maintaining his name.
But Xiao Yu insisted. “Lie Lie.”
“Wen Lie!”
“Lie Lie.”
…
Tangled up on this matter the whole trip through, neither of them would let up. Until it was time for them to get off, Wen Lie was still caught up with maintaining his name. He said to Xiao Yu, “I’m just called Wen Lie.”
“Bye-bye Lie Lie, bye-bye Xiao Yu.” Xiao Yu did not react to his words at all and waved them goodbye.
Ji Xuan, “…”
Only after the car drove for some distance did Xiao Yu ask Ji Xuan, “What gave you the conscience to bring him to a bathhouse?”
Ji Xuan simply said, “You seemed to have that intention as well. He’s just a child as well, there’s nothing about bringing him there or not! He’s Xiao Yu’s deskmate. If he goes to school smelling bad, then I don’t know if he’ll be bullied or not, but Xiao Yu will have to be smelling it.”
Xiao Yu nodded. So, Ji Xuan asked, “What about you? Why are you so concerned about that child?”
Xiao Yu looked out the fast-changing scenery outside the window and answered, “There’s no whys or whatevers about it. He’s a child, that’s all he is. Just a child. I felt like it, so why not!”
Just by looking at the way the boy dressed, it was obvious what kind of life he lived at home. Still, he did not quite support Xiao Yu’s approach. “This kind of concern will only drive him into despair when it’s no longer there.”
Xiao Yu smiled. “I’m not that great at other things, but my perseverance is pretty good. So, you don’t have to worry. Besides…We’re still going to be neighbors for quite some time!”
Since she was following Ji Xuan out today, they went directly to the underground parking lot. After swiping his personal card on the elevator, the door opened.
Xiao Yu followed him in and said, “Don’t you think it’s a little extravagant to have an elevator all to yourself?”
Ji Xuan shook his head. “Not really. I have to run such a big company by myself, and you still want me to squeeze in with other people during work? I don’t think so.”
Xiao Yu, “Wow, so domineering!”
Ji Xuan, “…”
