When Chi Nao saw her savior arrive, she cried even more heartbrokenly, her sobs growing louder and louder, as if afraid her father wouldn't see how sad she was.
“Dad,” Chi Nao pointed at President Liao and complained, “I… went into the wrong room, he yelled at me… scolded me… scared me… he also scolded Sister Qin, waaaaaah…”
Chi Baiyi was slightly taken aback, and only then did she notice Qin Yuanyao next to Chi Naiqi.
Mr. Liao was so anxious that cold sweat was pouring down his forehead.
Before Chi Baiyi could speak, he hurriedly explained, "President Chi, it's all a misunderstanding! I didn't know she was your daughter! I was just a little anxious and spoke to her harshly, but I absolutely did nothing to her!"
Chi Baiyi's sharp, knife-like gaze pierced him. "What else do you want to do to her? She just went into the wrong room. What's there to yell at and scare her like this!"
Mr. Liao felt wronged and unlucky.
He only yelled once, he didn't say anything harsh. How could he have known that Chi Baiyi's daughter was so timid, crying like this!
If he had known earlier that she was Chi Baiyi's daughter, even if he was unhappy, he would have treated her kindly!
Mr. Liao dared not explain himself any further, fearing that the more he explained, the more mistakes he would make.
He repeatedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, saying, "You're right to teach me a lesson." He was no longer the arrogant person he had been before.
Chi Baiyi ignored him completely, giving him no further glances, and walked out with Chi Naoqi in her arms, her aura terrifying.
Qin Yuanyao, being very pragmatic, followed him out as well.
President Liao wanted to stop her, but remembering that Chi Nai seemed to have a good relationship with Qin Yuanyao, he was afraid that he might accidentally anger Chi Baiyi again, so he could only swallow his anger and glare at Qin Yuanyao who followed him out.
He had only taken a few steps when Chi Baiyi stopped and suddenly turned around to look at Qin Yuanyao.
Qin Yuanyao quickly stopped walking to avoid bumping into Chi Baiyi.
She met Shang Chi Baiyi's calm, unwavering eyes with a sly, fox-like chuckle and asked, "Is the cheese alright?"
Nestled in Chi Baiyi's arms, Chi Nao's tears stopped the moment her father turned to leave.
Hearing her mother ask this, Chi Nao said, "Nai is fine."
When she uttered the words, Chi Nao was stunned.
Uh...why does her voice sound so hoarse?
Was it because she cried too hard just now?
But she was afraid that if she cried too softly, her father wouldn't be able to hear her! So she cried with all her might!
"Why does Cheese's voice sound so hoarse? Did you cry too hard just now?" Qin Yuanyao frowned slightly.
Chi Baiyi's brow furrowed, as if he were muttering to himself, "Drink some water, it should make me feel better."
He turned to Qin Yuanyao and said, "Miss Qin, you don't need to come with us anymore."
Qin Yuanyao smiled awkwardly but politely.
He knew she was using him to escape from that private room.
"Okay, I'll head back now."
Chi Baiyi nodded slightly and carried Chi Cheese towards their private room.
Chi Nai said goodbye to Qin Yuanyao through Chi Baiyi's shoulder, her little voice husky, "Goodbye, Sister Qin, go home soon."
"Okay." Qin Yuanyao waved to her and strode out.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Pool cheese was truly her savior.
If it weren't for Chi Nao, she definitely wouldn't have gotten out of President Liao's private room so quickly.
However, she did not regret coming.
She obtained another piece of evidence that would be very helpful in terminating her contract!
...
Chi Baiyi carried Chi Nao back to their private room and poured a glass of warm water for her.
Chi Nai held the cup in her soft little hands, drank the warm water, and immediately felt much better in her throat.
"Are you feeling better?" Chi Baiyi asked.
Chi Nai nodded her little head. "Okay."
Her voice did sound much better, so Chi Baiyi started asking about serious matters.
"You suddenly said you wanted to eat here, did you know Qin Yuanyao would also be eating here?"
Chi Nai's small frame tensed slightly as she looked at her father.
Her dad is so smart! He guessed it all.
Why didn't Dad use that intelligence to pursue Mom?
Mom still hasn't fallen in love with Dad.
Sigh, Dad is such a failure.
Chi Baiyi had no idea that in the few seconds his daughter was staring at him, her little head was already racing with a lot of thoughts, and she even suddenly let out a long sigh, as if she had a lot of complaints about him.
Then he heard his daughter speak.
“Yes,” Chi Nao said. “Sister Qin originally promised to teach me to write this afternoon, which was something we agreed on on the show. But she suddenly received a call asking her to come here for dinner. I haven’t seen Sister Qin for a while and I wanted to see her, so I asked Dad to bring me here for dinner too.”
Chi Baiyi "..."
Did you arrange to teach her to write on the show?
This is his job.
No wonder she hasn't let him teach her to write lately; it turns out she had already handed that task over to someone else.
Moreover, today is only the second day after the first episode of Xiaojia's live stream ended.
You've only been away from Qin Yuanyao for two days, and you already miss her?
I've never seen her think about him like this before.
"You were about to go to the restroom by yourself, and then you suddenly disappeared. Did you go to find Qin Yuanyao?" Chi Baiyi asked.
Chi Cheese doesn't want to admit this.
She barely ate a few bites of food before lying that she needed to use the restroom and refusing to let her father accompany her. So her father found a waitress to take her there.
She went into the restroom and slipped out when the female attendant wasn't looking.
Then she opened the doors of each private room one by one, and finally found the room where her mother was...
She felt that the bad thing her mother was talking about ten years later was about eating.
When she barged into the private room, the atmosphere was not good; the very fierce man seemed to be making things difficult for her mother.
Fortunately, she is quick-witted; she knows how to cry loudly and call for her father.
She must have helped her mother resolve some of the bad things...
“No,” Chi Cheese shook her head. “I can’t find our room. All the rooms look the same from the outside.”
Chi Baiyi couldn't refute Chi Cheese's last sentence.
"Dad, the room I just went into, that really fierce man was making things difficult for Sister Qin. Luckily, you appeared just in time and saved me and Sister Qin. Dad, you're a real superhero!" Chi Naozhi started praising him.
Chi Baiyi recalled the situation just now and he roughly guessed what kind of dinner party it was.
Such dinner parties happen almost every day in the entertainment industry.
Now that he's calmed down and thought about it, he suspects that Chi Naozi cried so hard because she wanted him to help Qin Yuanyao out of a predicament.
Although he didn't spend much time with Chi Nao, only three or four months, it was enough for him to understand that Chi Nao wasn't a child who liked to cry or make a fuss.
But does Qin Yuanyao really need Chi Nao's kindness and his help to get her out of trouble?
