Xiao Ying cooperated and revealed a face of concern. “Daddy, what is it?”
Xiao Lingbo’s expression turned awkward as he said, “Our company is in trouble and we need someone to invest in our projects.”
He glanced at Xiao Ying expectantly.
Xiao Ying looked at Xiao Lingbo but said nothing.
Xiao Lingbo waited and waited, but finally ran out of patience. He said, “Ying’er, do you understand?”
Xiao Ying said innocently, “I don’t understand, Daddy. What do you mean by investing?”
Xiao Lingbo’s expression froze.
Madam Xiao mocked, “I told you it wouldn’t be reliable to place all your hopes on a little girl.”
No matter what they said, Xiao Ying continued to eat her food as if she did not understand anything.
Madam Xiao’s words made Xiao Lingbo embarrassed. He did not care if Xiao Ying really did not understand or was just pretending as he said sternly, “You just have to bring Cheng Yang home for a meal.”
Xiao Ying, eating with her head down, paused her movements. She looked up at Xiao Lingbo, her mouth still chewing on a bun.
Everyone was waiting for Xiao Ying to swallow the food in her mouth and speak, but she was not anxious at all. She chewed slowly.
Xiao Lingbo nearly lost his mind waiting for her, wishing he could just chew it for her instead.
Just as he was completely losing his patience, Xiao Ying finally swallowed it.
She smiled and said, “I told you, Brother isn’t coming.”
After waiting all this time only to receive a response like this, Xiao Lingbo was ready to have a mental breakdown.
He scolded angrily, “Go and invite him again. Get him to come even if you have to drag him here. If you can’t get him to come tomorrow, you don’t have to come back either.”
With that, Xiao Lingbo threw his chopsticks on the table, got up, and went to his study.
Xiao Ying continued to eat with her head lowered.
Madam Xiao looked on coldly and left with Xiao Ruoxuan, who had finished eating.
Xiao Ying was the only one left at the entire dining table.
She put down her cutlery and wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, revealing a cold smile.
Trying to use her to get Cheng Yang? No way.
The next day, Xiao Ying left early.
She had no choice, for there was a certain Brother who was hard to coax.
She walked out of the district sneakily and saw a car by the road. She quickly got in.
The moment she got in the car, she said, “Brother, let’s go.”
Cheng Yang did not start the car. Instead, he pinched Xiao Ying’s little face and said coldly, “Why? Is it embarrassing to be with me?”
Xiao Ying could not break free. Her mouth was pulled into a wide arc.
She could only say vaguely, “No, I’m afraid that Xiao Ruoxuan will follow me and disturb my private time with Brother.”
These words satisfied Cheng Yang, and he let go.
The car drove quickly. After a while, Cheng Yang glanced at Xiao Ying and slowly reduced the speed.
Feeling the change in the car, Xiao Ying was dazed for a second.
She lowered her head and played with her fingers, not making a sound.
Cheng Yang glanced at the overly quiet Xiao Ying and asked, “What’s wrong? Who made you angry? I’m right here, you’re not going to snitch to me?”
This was the first time he had said something jokingly like that, and he sounded a little uncomfortable.
Xiao Ying looked up at Cheng Yang seriously and asked, “Why are you so good to me?”
This time, Xiao Ying did not call him Brother Cheng Yang, her tone serious.
At a red light in front of him, Cheng Yang stopped the car and turned to look at Xiao Ying. He replied seriously, “I don’t know. Why are you asking?”
One asked seriously, and the other answered seriously.
The two of them locked gazes.
Xiao Ying was the first to smile. “It must be because I’m too cute.”
Cheng Yang was about to say something, but the light turned green and he had to turn his head back.
Xiao Ying chattered about things she thought were fun, as if the heavy atmosphere just before was only an illusion.
Seeing that Xiao Ying had returned to her lively self, Cheng Yang slowly smiled.
He felt that there was no longer any need to say what he wanted to say before.
Soon, they reached their destination. Xiao Ying looked at the amusement park in front of her in surprise.
She hadn’t expected Cheng Yang to bring her here. After all, he really didn’t fit in this type of environment..
