Zhao Bo assumed she didn't recognize him, so he followed behind her while introducing himself: "Xiaoyu, I'm your Uncle Zhao! Your Aunt Su Yan couldn't come, so she asked me to pick you up."
Su Xiaoyu ignored him and walked straight inside.
Zhao Bo was a little stunned. She wasn't like this that day; she was calling him "uncle" so enthusiastically.
"Light rain, light rain!"
No matter how she called out, Su Xiaoyu acted as if she couldn't hear her.
"Su Xiaoyu!"
Zhao Bo's patience was completely worn out, and he shouted out his full name.
And it actually worked! Su Xiaoyu really stopped.
Zhao Bo immediately lost all his anger, put on a smile, and ran over happily.
"Xiaoyu, I really am a good friend of your mother and Aunt Suyan."
Su Xiaoyu stared intently at him without saying a word, her small hand pressing on something, seemingly fiddling with it.
Seeing her eerily quiet demeanor, Zhao Bo felt a sense of unease. He glanced at her and his gaze fell directly on the smartwatch she was fiddling with in her hand.
Zhao Bo suddenly remembered what Su Yan had said when they left the police station last time, and realized what Su Xiaoyu was up to now.
He hurriedly shouted, "Wait! Don't call the police, my little darling! I really am your mother's friend, you can ask the teacher if you don't believe me! Go ahead and ask!"
Su Xiaoyu stopped what she was doing and turned to look at the teacher who had come over from not far away after hearing the noise.
The teacher glanced at Zhao Bo, then hesitated before confirming, "Mr. Zhao, right?"
Zhao Bo nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, yes! I'm Zhao Bo. His mother asked me to pick her up."
After looking at Zhao Bo's photo, the teacher squatted down and explained to Su Xiaoyu.
"Xiaoyu, your uncle isn't a bad person. He really asked your mother to come and pick you up."
Following her words, Su Xiaoyu glanced at Zhao Bo again.
When Zhao Bo saw her gaze coming his way, he tried his best to appear as a harmless and kind person, nodding vigorously.
Clutching her smartwatch, Su Xiaoyu walked away from him.
Zhao Bo craned his neck, watching her fiddling with something on her smartwatch, and immediately felt nervous.
He turned to the teacher anxiously and asked, "Is she going to call the police again?"
The teacher was both amused and exasperated by his reaction and quickly waved her hand.
"No, Mr. Zhao. She's just a four-year-old child, what does she know? She even called the police."
Zhao Bo immediately lowered his head dejectedly and shook his head. "You wouldn't understand."
The teacher was stunned. "They're not really going to call the police, are they?"
She jumped up and ran towards Su Xiaoyu. Before she even got close, she heard Su Xiaoyu call out "Mom" into her smartwatch.
She breathed a sigh of relief; the child was confirming Zhao Bo's identity with her mother.
The teacher's gaze towards Su Xiaoyu changed. Such a young child was so guarded; the teacher wondered how her family had raised her.
She felt relieved, but also a little bitter.
But this level of vigilance was so intense that even she became wary, and she stopped believing anything she said.
After finishing her phone call, Su Xiaoyu confirmed Zhao Bo's identity with Su Yan before slowly walking towards him.
Let's go.
She uttered those two words and strode out of the kindergarten.
Zhao Bo's lips twitched as he listened to her bossy tone. Why did her tone sound so much like someone else's?
He silently followed after them.
Su Xiaoyu got into his car safely, and Zhao Bo no longer dared to have any thoughts of scaring her.
If this kid gets messed up, he could end up in a police car; he's not someone to mess with.
Zhao Bo drove obediently, picked up Su Xiaoyu and took her to Chengyan Technology, then led her upstairs.
Along the way, Su Xiaoyu received an unprecedented welcome and attention.
Since what happened with Herman, who would dare bring their child to the company?
What's more, Zhao Bo was leading the child through the halls and rooms in such a swaggering manner.
The passing employees started discussing it.
"This child is so beautiful! So pink and tender, like a little porcelain doll. It makes me want to have a daughter!"
"Could this child be Secretary Zhao's?"
These words immediately drew opposition from other employees.
"Impossible! How could it be Secretary Zhao's daughter! Secretary Zhao is so unattractive, how could she possibly have such a beautiful daughter? I'd believe it if you said it was Chairman Yi's!"
After he said that, some people started speculating again.
"What if the child's mother is good-looking, and the child takes after her?"
The words were met with fierce rejection as soon as they were spoken.
"That's even more impossible! Secretary Zhao is a complete bachelor, he can't even find a girlfriend!"
After he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
Su Xiaoyu silently raised her head and looked at Zhao Bo's face, which was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"So Uncle really doesn't have a girlfriend."
Her casual finishing blow nearly made Zhao Bo spit out a mouthful of blood.
Zhao Bo immediately retorted excitedly, "You don't! I do, I have a girlfriend!"
He then turned around threateningly, raising his voice to boast, "My girlfriend is pretty!"
When Zhao Bo turned around, he met Su Xiaoyu's sympathetic gaze again.
Zhao Bo reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his fur standing on end.
"What kind of look is that?! I already told you, I did! I really did!"
The more agitated he became, the more guilty he appeared.
Su Xiaoyu shook her head and sighed, "Uncle is so pitiful! He has no money and no girlfriend. No wonder he has to snatch the ball from the kids. Sigh, Uncle is so pitiful."
