Chapter 34 Your daughter has grown up so much
After dinner, it was already dark, but I still remembered to go feed the deer.
We walked hand in hand in the woods of the community. It was quiet all around, with only occasional cars driving into the community.
There are only about dozens of households in the entire villa area, and each house has a very large garden. Although it is winter, you can still see that many people's gardens are carefully maintained.
Only Xiao Shiqiu's garden had nothing planted in it, just a mowed lawn.
I teased him, "You built such a big lawn, are you planning to play football?"
He smiled and said, "I used to think about having a few children so we could play on the lawn."
My heart skipped a beat. Yes, this was his former wedding room. What happened?
He is such an outstanding man, could he have been dumped?
I pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "What happened next? Did you stop thinking about it?"
He seemed to be lost in thought, and said slowly, "Later...yes, later..."
At this moment, an inopportune voice interrupted him, "Mr. Xiao, it's rare to see you out for a walk. Eh? Is this your daughter? I haven't seen her in a few years. She's grown so big."
The person who spoke was a graceful middle-aged woman, who was holding a beautifully groomed white poodle. She seemed to be a wealthy lady who came out to walk her dog after dinner.
When Xiao Shiqiu heard her words, he just frowned slightly and said calmly: "Mrs. Yang, it's been a long time since we last met. You still look the same as before, not even a little bit older. You are still as beautiful as before."
He didn't correct my identity and greeted her irrelevantly.
When the lady came closer and saw my face clearly, she was slightly stunned. Then she greeted us calmly as if she had not said anything, "No, no, I'm much older. Look at me, how beautiful I am. Mr. Xiao is so lucky." As she spoke, she looked at me with scrutiny in her eyes.
Obviously she had her own guess about my identity. People who live in such a place are all shrewd people. Both of them spoke ambiguously, and I was the only one who was embarrassed.
Xiao Shiqiu calmly took my hand and said, "You continue walking the dog. I'll go with her to see the animals over there."
The words of the noble lady just now made me even more certain that he had a daughter, who might even be about my age, but he just didn't raise her with him.
But I am no longer as conflicted as I was during the day. As long as he doesn't have a wife, I am not considered the third party.
The fawn didn't really want to eat at night, so I forced food into its mouth and it reluctantly took two bites.
He watched me struggling to hold the deer's head and feed it carrots, and said sarcastically, "They say you can't force a cow to eat grass, but you force it to eat when it doesn't want to, and you're tiring yourself out. Why don't you try feeding the alpacas over there?"
I refused decisively, "No."
"What? Are you still being racist?"
"That thing will spit in my face." I replied expressionlessly.
I would never tell him the painful lesson I learned from my only trip to the zoo in City A.
He lowered his head and stroked his forehead, then began to chuckle, "You've learned your lesson."
Under the soft light, we sat on the bench, I hugged the deer and he hugged me, and the years were peaceful.
However, the tender moment was interrupted by a girl's joyful voice: "Mr. Xiao, why are you here? It's so cold outside at night. Let's go home early."
