The little boy was at that age when he hated cats and dogs, he was so naughty and wouldn’t go sit quietly by the counter. He bounced around like a monkey beside her,
“Come get your money, be obedient, go play over there. Mommy is busy.” Yi Xin stopped him.
to bring wealth?
Sounds like a dog’s name!
She smiled, and the little boy jumped onto the sofa. Whether intentionally or accidentally, the glass vase on the side table next to the sofa was knocked to the ground, landing right beside Xiao Li’s feet. She let out a small cry and retreated behind Zhao Tingxing.
The vase landed on the thick carpet, rolling around once before coming to a stop, unharmed.
Zhao Tingxing hated children the most in his life, especially this mischievous little brat in front of him. So he glared at him with murderous intent, almost ready to teach him a lesson for his parents.
Even the children weren’t afraid of him; they stared right back at him and even made faces at him.
He grabbed the child’s shirt at the back of their clothes and lifted them up like a chick.
“Pick up the vase on the ground and put it away.”
The little boy flailed his limbs wildly, completely fearless, and cried out, “I won’t! You bully, you big bad guy, let me go!”
But Zhao Tingxing remained unmoved: “No one taught you, so I’ll teach you today on behalf of your parents.”
In this society, no one will pamper you. If you don’t accept some lessons now, when you grow up, society will also teach you how to behave.
His appearance was already frightening, and now that he deliberately scowled it was even more terrifying. Xiao Li didn’t dare to speak, and Yi Xin also became anxious: “Let go, let me go!”
She hurriedly hugged the child whose face was already flushed red, her heart aching with concern, and scolded:
“You’re sick, he’s just a child.”
Her cat is just a little mischievous, what’s the big deal?
Zhao Tingxing then loosened his grip.
He knew how to handle things, not going too far to target a child; he was just trying to scare him.
The child was terrified, clinging tightly to Yi Xin and crying loudly.
“Let me see if you’re hurt? Where does it hurt, tell Auntie.” Yi Xin checked the child up and down.
“Wow wow, I want mommy, I want mommy.”
“Mommy will be here soon.”
Zhao Tingxing tossed a business card to the shopkeeper: “If you take your child to the hospital for a checkup, whether they live or die, I am fully responsible.”
He can’t stand these delicate children, pampered by their parents into this state. Being tugged on their clothes, they act like they’re about to die or something?
Yi Xin glared at him: “I’ll take him to the hospital for a check-up. If you scare him into having problems, see you at the police station.”
“Just waiting here.” After Zhao Tingxing finished speaking, he strode out of the brand store, having already forgotten about Xiao Li, whom he had brought with him.
Xiaoli hurriedly picked up various shopping bags and followed him closely.
The car drove all the way to the hotel where he usually lived, and Xiao Li was arranged in room 2204.
Xiaoli stood at the door, a little hesitant: “Zhao ge, come in?”
Zhao Tingxing sized her up and down, his gaze as detached as he would give an object. He’d brought her to Senzhou originally with unspoken intentions, but seeing her standing at the doorway, she was just too bland, lacking in vibrancy. He couldn’t be bothered to enter her room, so he went straight to the adjacent 2203.
As soon as he walked in, he sent Han Li a message, his words direct and explicit: “Come over, I miss you.” He wasn’t kidding about waiting for him to come back before resuming their 2203 battle. Although he had been busy with various social engagements in the southwest these past few days, he only handled the arrangements himself. He hadn’t even touched a woman’s hand, patiently waiting to return and make her pay dearly. He was determined to thoroughly punish her, making her beg for mercy before finally satisfying his thirst for revenge.
After sending the message, it took a long time for the other person to reply. All they said was: “Get lost!”
Succinct and forceful, his words enraged him to the point of almost dropping his phone. He immediately dialed again, but the other party hung up. He tried again, only to be blocked by the other party.
“Damn, are you scared?”
WeChat sent a message, but… WeChat got blocked too. He had a week’s worth of built-up desire with nowhere to release it, and now anger added fuel to the fire, making his veins bulge as he gripped his phone.
The 2203 room was one he had specifically booked when he wanted to invite her. It was just an ordinary double bed room because he thought she was worth it.
At this moment, a person sat on the rudimentary sofa in the room. The white gauze curtains swayed gently in the wind. Suddenly, a scene from that night flashed in her mind, the thin gauze curtain brushing past her… (ellipsis)… but her eyes never yielded, nor did she show any sign of submission. She stared at him, daring him with a challenging gaze.
He stood up impatiently, afraid to take the challenge, was he? He went straight to her company to catch her.
At this moment, Han Li was neither at his own company nor at Gu’s, but in a shopping mall, in Yi Xin’s store.
Actually, she and Yixin were with the child. Yixin took the child back to the store first, and she went to find a parking space in the garage. She was a few minutes late, so she saw Zhao Tingxing pulling the child’s back and lecturing him.
Because of the special circumstances, she didn’t appear. She returned to the shop only after he and the little girl had left.
Upon his return, ZhaiCai rushed into her arms and burst into tears. He had been scolded by a seemingly ferocious stranger, which had terrified the child.
Ethan: “That guy was just an idiot, wasn’t he… Should we take the kids to the hospital for a check-up?”
Han Li knelt on one knee, looked up and down at the child, and asked gently, “Is anything uncomfortable?” The child shook his head while crying.
Han Li let out a breath, listening to the cries. It seemed fine.
“Mom, please don’t call me Cai-cai anymore.”
“I don’t want to be named Zhaocai.”
Compared to being lectured by a stranger, the child cares more about his nickname.
Yi Xin laughed: “The name ‘Zhaochai’ is so auspicious! Look, after you were named that, both Mom and Auntie’s businesses have been doing better and better.”
Han Li glared at her: “Stop messing around.”
The child is not called “Zhaochai.” This was a nickname given to her by Yixin and Yiwu when they accompanied her during childbirth at the hospital.
His name is Han Zhaoyi. “Zhaoyi” is a phonetic pun on the character Zhao, and “Yi” is a phonetic pun on the names of his sisters, Yiwen and Wenyi.
But now she regrets it, the child’s name shouldn’t have his last name. Just now seeing him carrying the child on his back, if it weren’t for her status making it inconvenient to appear, could he still have walked out of this shop unharmed?
Could you still have the mood to send her a message?
Want to sleep with her?
Damn you!
“Is this his contact information?” She glanced at the business card Yixin had handed her, feigning ignorance.
“Yes.”
Contact him later and tell him the child was scared and had nightmares all night. Say you’re taking the child to the hospital tomorrow morning for a full checkup and ask him to come with you. Also, take the opportunity to discuss compensation for his mental distress.
She arranged calmly.
“Is this okay?” Yi Xin glanced at Han Zhao Yi who was already bouncing with excitement. Was it really necessary?
Yi Xin was unaware that he was the child’s biological father.
“Yes!”
It is very necessary.
