Chapter 169: A Talented Villain

Chapter 169: A Talented Villain

The memory of his near-death experience at the birthday party repeatedly flashed through the old man's mind.

"...I remember." In fact, the scene was too chaotic, so when he woke up, he asked Qin Sui who accompanied him all the way to the hospital.

At that time, Qin Sui firmly told him "It's Li Xiaoya".

So it is not difficult to infer that the child walking next to Qin Sui now...

"Is it Li Xiaoya?" Mr. Zhang bent his waist slightly and lowered his eyes.

Most elderly people always have a natural tolerance and love for children.

Mr. Zhang gave Li Xiaoya a kind smile.

"Yes, I'm Xiaoya." Li Xiaoya responded in a soft voice.

Mr. Zhang nodded.

They should thank the child. What gift should they prepare for her? Now that the child has come to visit them on her own initiative, they are being rude.

"Whose child is she?" asked Mr. Zhang.

Qin Sui did not answer this question, but asked: "Can you do her a favor?"

"What is it? Tell me."

"Her family is sick and there is no one to take care of her for the time being. Can she stay with you for a few days?"

Mr. Zhang was slightly stunned.

The secretary at the side was also stunned, but he was not confused about the matter itself.

He just felt that Qin Sui talked... a lot today.

It is still rare that someone will take the initiative to make requests for others.

As if afraid that Mr. Zhang would refuse, Qin Sui continued, "If possible, I would also like to stay here for a few more days. I am usually very busy and have not had much opportunity..."

After Mr. Zhang was surprised, he was just happy: "Of course."

When people get old, they tend to yearn for liveliness and hustle and bustle.

But now he often needs to rest and can no longer walk freely among the bustling crowd.

"Then let's go back and pack our luggage first." Qin Sui said quickly.

This is a rare positivity. After all, nothing was necessary or important to him before.

Mr. Zhang said yes and watched them leave.

The courtyard was empty again in an instant.

"I'm still a little uncomfortable with the sudden excitement." Mr. Zhang shook his head slowly.

The secretary said with emotion: "They have a very good relationship, which is rare! ... Mr. Qin didn't say whose child it was. If someone in the family is sick, doesn't he have a nanny to take care of him?"

"How can a child be taken care of by a nanny alone? Without an adult watching over them, they will be more likely to be bullied."

"It's not a big deal anyway...I secretly hope it can be more lively."

Mr. Zhang was old but not confused. He saw at a glance that Qin Sui seemed to have some purpose, but at his age, he deliberately overlooked the loophole.

"Then we have to hire a nanny. This family has never taken care of a girl, let alone a girl this young." The secretary frowned a little embarrassedly.

Mr. Zhang was stunned: "Yes... this is a problem."

He has only one son.

Because he was busy with his own affairs, he never bothered to care about his son from childhood to adulthood... He didn't even know how he raised him.

To the extent that Mr. Zhang reflected on himself for a long time, he felt that his son was quiet because he was an incompetent father and spent too little time with him.

Who knew that when he was free, his son would be busy again. Later, there was no chance for father and son to spend time together.

Mr. Zhang lowered his head and murmured, "I have never properly raised a child..."

The secretary tried to comfort him, "It's okay. Young Master Qin has a younger sister at home. He has experience."

Upon hearing the voice, Mr. Zhang raised his head and closed his eyes.

For a moment, everything was very quiet.

"Shall I take you home?" Qin Sui asked outside the door.

Li Xiaoya had very little luggage, and basically wherever she went, someone would prepare a lot of new daily necessities for her.

"Wait, I'll make a call." Li Xiaoya turned his back, took out his cell phone and walked towards the big tree not far away, saying, "Wait for me there."

Qin Sui stopped and did not move, but he was very confused in his heart.

Who are you calling? Why do you need to hide it from him?

He thought of the last time in the hospital... Li Xiaoya's cell phone rang, but he didn't answer it immediately. Instead, he asked him to help report the number first.

Why?

Is there some dangerous person on the other end of the phone?

Qin Sui stared at Li Xiaoya's back with great interest.

Li Xiaoya just dialed Komnenos' number.

It rang for a long time before the other end picked up.

"Hello." The voice was still hoarse.

Li Xiaoya asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong? Nothing, I just drank a little wine." Komnenos raised his hand to support his forehead, with tired bloodshot eyes.

Li Xiaoya looked up at the sky and saw the sun was shining brightly.

She suddenly remembered: "It's night time where you are?"

"Yes." Komnenos paused, got off the bed, and asked, "Can you guess what I'm thinking?"

"What?"

"I was planning to call you tomorrow and give you a surprise. But you called first." Komnenos' tone rose slightly.

"Surprise?" Although he couldn't see from the other end, Li Xiaoya still tilted his head.

"Ha, I got you a very beautiful present. You're sure to like it! It's being delivered overseas, but it should be here soon."

"Thanks."

"Is that the way to put it? It sounds a bit strange, little crazy man."

Li Xiaoya tilted her head again, although the other end was still invisible. She said, "Thank you, Dad... should I say it this way?"

“…”

"?"

“…………”

There was no new sound from the phone for a long time, so Li Xiaoya couldn't help but pick it up and knock on it.

"I have something to say, Komnenos, are you still there?" she asked crisply.

"Ha, didn't you call me daddy just now? Why did you change back?"

"Because I can't see your expression now, I don't know if you like to hear it." Li Xiaoya said seriously.

Komnenos' eyes flickered.

Her madness is different from his.

She is a child who is very good at observing people's expressions and every crazy decision she makes is made after observation.

Observation is an excellent quality.

However, after meeting Li Jiang, Komnenos suddenly felt that being "good at observing people's words and expressions" was not a good thing for children.

Komnenos said, "Well, I'll tell you now, I like it. Can you yell it a hundred times for me?"

“But that would be tiring.”

"..." Komnenos covered his face, a little speechless, but couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Ha, ha ha, okay." At least it shows that she is happy to shout, but is just afraid of getting tired.

"Okay, now tell me what you want to tell me."

"Did you give up the house when you left?"

"No, you want to live there?"

"Can I take what you bought for me?"

Komnenos paused on the other end of the line.

It turns out that children cherish the gifts given by adults so much.

"Of course...you can. You can even take the house with you."

“But I can’t pull it away.”

"Haha, hahahaha." Why is the little madman becoming more and more cute?

My hands are itchy!

Komnenos stood up and walked around the bed anxiously.

"Then I'll go get something. Bye." Li Xiaoya hung up the phone.

Well, this way nothing is wasted.

Komnenos sat by the window, staring at the traffic below, unable to sleep.

I can't sleep at all.

How could there be a child in this world who possesses both crazy and pitiful and lovable qualities?

After I'm gone, she won't secretly frame all the things I bought for her, then hold them in her arms and cry in the middle of the night, right?
