Chapter 146, Mommy, don’t you want me anymore?
Luo Zhenxuan, who had clearly spent money on ice cream but was then treated unfairly, felt the urge to hit someone. However, considering that the little brat in front of him was only 7 years old, he held back and just asked again: "How did you know I was here?"
"You had a big fight with Mrs. Claus and left, but they searched for you on the boat for a long time!" The little girl said casually while eating ice cream, "I also wanted to know where you came from, so I did a little research.
The identity of Santa Claus is difficult to find out. I only know that she stole three jade cups.
But you…" The little girl said as she looked at Luo Zhenxuan's lower body. When she saw his exaggerated beach pants, the little girl's eyes were filled with unconcealed disgust: "Brother Biantai, your taste is always terrible!"
"Let's talk business!" Luo Zhenxuan's mouth twitched. It wasn't like he wanted to dress like this!
"A quick search revealed that a male slave, awaiting auction, had been lost on the ship. Following this lead, I discovered the slave was sent by the Luo family. Then, I continued to follow this lead and found out that the Luo family had intercepted a code decryption operation and were planning to send someone to this place today to apprehend the escaped Third Young Master of the Luo family. So, I came here to try my luck."
The little girl looked up at Luo Zhenxuan and said, "Brother Titanium, we are really destined to meet each other~"
Luo Zhenxuan didn't hear at all that he had any affinity with this shrewd and sharp-tongued girl, but he could hear that this girl did have some abilities.
But he also felt relieved. It seemed that the traitors and spies around him had indeed been cleared out.
However, the Luo family's strict defense still made him feel a little scared.
Now that I am in the capital, I am under the watchful eyes of the Luo family, so I really have to be more careful.
That matter can only be done slowly.
"Brother Titanium, since we are so destined to meet, I will trouble you to take care of me from now on." The little girl ate ice cream and gave Luo Zhenxuan a sweet smile.
"I don't have time. You can go back wherever you came from." Luo Zhenxuan felt a headache just looking at the little girl. "I can't even guarantee my own safety, how can I take care of you? Where is your home? I'll find a way to send you back."
"Woo..." The little girl's face, which was originally still smiling, suddenly squeezed out two lines of tears. She cried aggrievedly and said, "Daddy, I will be good from now on. I will never eat ice cream again. I will be obedient. Please don't send me to an orphanage, okay? Please, Daddy... I will eat less from now on. I really will only eat less. I will never spend Daddy's money again. Please don't abandon me, okay?"
Her aggrieved cry was trembling, and she was trying to please him cautiously, which made people feel more distressed and pity than wailing loudly.
“???” Luo Zhenxuan was puzzled. Before he could react, he noticed that the people around him were glaring at him angrily.
"Dressed like this, you look like a scumbag who cheats on your relationship! Irresponsible!"
"The scariest thing is that nowadays you don't even have to take a test to become a parent! Anyone can be a father!"
"Such a cute and well-behaved little girl is being sent to an orphanage! How inhumane!"
"I want to expose this scumbag!"
Seeing that everyone was taking out their phones to take pictures of him, Luo Zhenxuan pulled the little girl out with a dark face.
After leaving the ice cream shop, Luo Zhenxuan lowered his head to look at the little girl. There was no sadness on her face at this moment, only a smirk of success.
The little girl held Luo Zhenxuan's hand tightly, raised her head, and smiled brightly and harmlessly: "Dad, please take care of me~"
…
After explaining the whole story to Kong Xiyan, Luo Zhenxuan sighed: "Then I can only bring her back."
"It sounds like a rough road." Kong Xiyan smiled sympathetically at Luo Zhenxuan, then walked up to the little girl and said, "Hey, this isn't some kind of amusement park. You probably know that we took things from the Aphrodite, and there are a lot of people who want to arrest us now. It would be dangerous for you to stay with us like this. Go home quickly!"
"Mommy, don't you want me anymore?" the little girl blinked. "You're going to kick me out of the house in the middle of the night and leave me wandering the streets? I'm so pitiful! Will I freeze to death on the street like the little match girl?"
"It's not even November yet, it's hard to freeze to death on the street." Kong Xiyan looked at the little drama girl in front of her and twitched her lips: "It's not a problem if you want to stay tonight, but you have to leave tomorrow!"
"Mommy..." The little girl pursed her lips and was about to cry.
"It's no use calling me ancestors." Kong Xiyan snatched the iced cola from the little girl's hand and said, "Don't drink something so cold so late at night. Go take a shower and brush your teeth now. I'll count down to three! 3, 2!"
Without waiting for Kong Xiyan to count to 1, the little girl turned her head, clicked her tongue, and walked towards the bathroom with a step that showed no regard for her relatives.
Looking at the little girl closing the bathroom door, Luo Zhenxuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was really not good at getting along with children.
Especially such a clever and sharp-tongued little girl.
"I hope I didn't delay you in doing anything by calling you back suddenly." Luo Zhenxuan looked at Kong Xiyan with a hint of apology in his eyes.
"Nothing, the coming-of-age ceremony is over." Kong Xiyan stretched her shoulders and said, "I was supposed to be back tomorrow morning, so it didn't delay anything."
"Coming of age ceremony? Yours?" Luo Zhenxuan was slightly stunned: "Today is your birthday? Your eighteenth birthday? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"What's there to say?" Kong Xiyan blinked, not thinking that this day was anything special.
To be honest, she had never thought that she would be able to celebrate her 18th birthday with her biological parents and family.
It’s just that there are too many people today, and many processes feel like they are being pushed forward, as if... something is missing.
Kong Xiyan herself couldn't tell what exactly was missing.
She was not very emotionally sensitive to begin with, and forcing her to think now would be a waste of time.
Since that’s the case, why not just let it go? If you can’t figure something out, just stop thinking about it.
The most important thing in life is to be happy.
"I'll go back to my room to pack my luggage." Kong Xiyan patted the two huge suitcases.
There are so many things, and it’s unclear how long it will take to clean them up. If she hadn’t stopped him, the housekeeper would have almost stuffed the huge cheese ring in as well.
"Okay, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll be out for a while." Luo Zhenxuan picked up his sunglasses and put them on.
"It's a bit strange to wear sunglasses at this time." Kong Xiyan took out a pair of black-framed glasses from her backpack: "Here, I bought them at the airport."
"Thank you." Luo Zhenxuan curled his lips when Kong Xiyan threw the sunglasses to him.
She even brought him a gift, it seems that he is really in her heart.
"This way you can perform the cobra." Kong Xiyan waved her hand and went into the room to pack her things.
The corner of Luo Zhenxuan's mouth twitched. It's not like he only knows that one trick!
So angry!
Although he thought so in his heart, Luo Zhenxuan still quickly put on his black-framed glasses and went downstairs to buy a birthday cake near the community.
Although he really wanted to buy the three-layer cake with a swan pattern, he was told that this style of cake needed to be ordered at least three days in advance, and even regular-sized cakes needed to be ordered at least three hours in advance.
If I wanted to take it away right away, the only option left was a four-inch berry chocolate children's cake, which was decorated with a little bear ornament.
The clerk reminded Luo Zhenxuan embarrassedly: "Hello, we are about to close."
"This is it." Luo Zhenxuan pointed to the four-inch children's cake in the window.
There is no other choice. All the cake shops around are closed at this time, and even this one is about to close.
After bringing the cake home, Luo Zhenxuan reluctantly put a candle on the slightly crowded cake and called Kong Xiyan out: "Blow out the candle and make a wish."
"Uh..." Kong Xiyan looked at Luo Zhenxuan holding the cake with some surprise: "Will it come true if I make a promise?"
"It may not come true if you make a promise, but this way you can know what you want most at the moment." Luo Zhenxuan looked at Kong Xiyan.
"Then... I want world peace." Kong Xiyan said this and blew out the candle.
"It won't work if you tell me about it."
"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
"I thought you knew."
"I……"
Before Kong Xiyan finished speaking, she heard a dissatisfied girl's voice: "Ah! You are so cunning!"
Kong Xiyan and Luo Zhenxuan looked over together and saw the girl coming out of the bathroom after taking a shower with an expression as if the sky was falling.
"Although I've heard that some parents do sneak in midnight snacks after their children fall asleep, but... I'm still asleep! And you're eating cake behind my back? That's too much! No wonder you urged me to take a shower and brush my teeth! It must be because of this! That's too much! I'm going to throw a tantrum!"
Looking at the angry little girl, Kong Xiyan and Luo Zhenxuan looked at each other and smiled weakly.
