Chapter 234
Humph, this ungrateful little bastard. As her father, he has provided her with good food and drink for so long, but I have never seen her look at him with a gleam in her eyes.
He finally saw through it.
Xiao Taozhi's ability to forget his father for the sake of beauty is absolutely first-rate!
Although Pei Yan was a little jealous, nothing in this world was more important than Xiao Taozhi's safety.
He glanced at Chen Jisui coldly, then squatted down in front of Xiao Taozhi and carefully examined the wounds on her body.
"Does it hurt?"
Pei Yan's warm fingertips touched Xiao Taozhi's blue knee.
He didn't dare to use too much force, he just rubbed it gently, as if what was in front of him was a porcelain doll that he could break with a little force.
I didn't want to lie to Pei Yan, but I didn't want to make the man worry even more.
After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Taozhi finally said honestly in a very light tone: "It hurts, but only a little bit."
Pei Yan knew that Xiao Taozhi said this on purpose because she didn't want him to worry.
He suddenly felt distressed, and at the same time, there was a surge of anger in his heart, along with the anger that had not been vented just now, bursting out together.
His sharp eyes swiveled, instantly tilting towards Shen Jisui, who was standing quietly to the side, and asked, "How did Xiao Taozhi fall?"
Chen Jisui could vaguely feel that the man in front of him seemed to be using him as a punching bag to vent his anger.
But this incident was indeed his fault. He deliberately quickened his pace, and Xiao Taozhi fell down in a hurry because he couldn't catch up with him.
No matter what, it was he who failed to protect Xiao Taozhi.
Chen Jisui straightened his thin back and did not shy away from it. He simply took the entire matter upon himself: "It's my fault. I didn't take good care of her."
When Pei Yan accidentally glanced at the Band-Aid on Xiao Taozhi's soft white palm, his expression became more serious, and his brows were almost twisted into a "川" shape.
He wrapped Tao Zhi's small hand in his palm.
Facing Xiao Taozhi, he forced a smile and asked casually, "Is your hand injured too?"
"It's just a little scrape, and a drop or two of blood came out. Zhizhi is fine. Dad, you don't have to worry too much!"
Afraid that Pei Yan would get even angrier, Xiao Taozhi quickly raised her little face and spoke in a relaxed tone.
Looking at Xiao Taozhi's smiling face, Pei Yan felt distressed again.
How could Pei Yan not see that Xiao Taozhi wanted to protect Chen Jisui?
He pondered for two seconds, then gritted his teeth and spat out a few words to Chen Jisui: "Get out..."
Before the word "egg" was uttered, Pei Yan's mouth was suddenly covered by a soft white hand!
Then, Xiao Taozhi looked at Shen Jisui with a smile: "Brother Jisui, Pei Baba means... congratulations on your prosperity!"
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Taozhi came up with this idiom related to "roll" in his mind.
Having lived with Pei Yan for quite some time, Xiao Taozhi could guess what Pei Yan was going to say next just by looking at his expression.
But no matter what, this word sounds much better than "get out".
When Pei Yan heard this, his beautiful peach blossom eyes suddenly shrank.
What is Xiao Taozhi talking about?
He clearly wanted to throw this bastard in front of him, who caused his daughter to fall and deliberately took advantage of her, into a pig cage!
Pei Yan shrank his head back, broke free from Tao Zhi's hand, and glared at Chen Jisui angrily: "Don't you understand what I'm saying? Do you know that the way you stand in front of me like a piece of wood is really a hindrance..."
This time, before Mr. Pei could finish his words, Tao Zhi's little paws covered his mouth again.
"Daddy, be good. If you can't speak, just say less."
After giving Pei Yan's instructions, Xiao Taozhi turned around and explained to Chen Jisui awkwardly, "Brother Jisui, what Daddy meant was... yes..."
Xiao Taozhi hesitated for a long time but still couldn't make out the reason.
I don’t know if Brother Ji Sui will be angry if Dad says such abrupt words.
She poked at each other with her two little hands, and secretly glanced at Chen Jisui's face without making any sound, trying to tell his mood through his expression.
The young man still had his back straight, standing there like a pine tree.
His face remained the same as usual, expressionless.
At the critical moment, Xiao Taozhi had no choice but to bite the bullet and forcefully explain, "Dad meant that time is worth a dollar, and wasting time is shameful. He doesn't want you to waste your time here. You should do your own thing."
Pei Yan: “…”
Pei Yan was almost laughing out of anger after listening to Xiao Taozhi's far-fetched explanation.
When did his words just now become like this?
This little fellow may not have any other talents, but he is gifted in making up stories.
Pei Yan's eyes looked like he was enjoying a show, and he followed Xiao Taozhi's gaze to Shen Jisui's face.
Anyone who can enter the junior class of the Federal Military Academy must be outstanding in intelligence.
Even if he hadn't finished speaking, he didn't believe that this brat surnamed Shen would not understand what he wanted to express and would believe Xiao Taozhi's nonsense.
But the young man just used his fingertips to gently scratch the skin on his forehead, then nodded, looking at Pei Yan with cold eyes: "Mr. Pei is right, then I won't waste my time here with you."
After saying that, Shen Ji took a step with his long legs and left the room.
Pei Yan: “…”
He couldn't help but wonder if this kid Shen Jisui had almost no emotional intelligence!
After going out, Shen Jisui happened to run into Zhou Wen.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Zhou Wen, and without saying anything, he was about to pass by Zhou Wen.
But suddenly.
Zhou Wen grabbed Shen Jisui's arm and said, "Xiaosui, I've known my aunt for so long, but I haven't heard you call me once."
Chen Jisui's light-colored thin lips moved up and down, but in the end no syllable came out.
This has always been his personality; he doesn't like to get too close to others.
Having been adopted by his adoptive parents for such a long time, even though Shen Jisui's adoptive father treated him very well, he had never called him once.
Because in his mind, a small name is not that simple, it also means that he has established a relatively closer relationship with the person being called.
But now he doesn't want to establish this kind of connection with anyone.
So he had already made up his mind to always reject Zhou Wen's excessive concern and put himself in the position of a chess piece.
Seeing Chen Jisui's indifferent attitude, Zhou Wen smiled awkwardly and stopped dwelling on the topic: "I just saw you and Mr. Pei's daughter together. Did you know each other before?"
