Mr. Xiao's Unconditional Love - Chapter 110:
Chapter 110: Te Amo
The grandfather and grandson continued to play chess while chatting about the global situation until late at night.
As for Ye Qiao, after she settled down, she had been revising Beixiao’s notes until midnight.
Suddenly, her phone rang while she was studying. She thought it was Lu Xiaogun asking her to go to bed, but she heard a familiar voice from the phone as she answered the call. “Xiao…”
“Little girl, why aren’t you asleep yet? I saw that your lights are still on!” Beixiao sounded like he was scolding her.
Ye Qiao quickly ran to the window and looked out. She lived in the western-most bedroom on the second floor, so Xiao’s yard could be clearly seen from her window. Xiao happened to stay in the eastern-most room, so he could see Ye Qiao’s room from his place.
Nevertheless, he was not at his window.
“Xiao, I am still revising! With my result, if I don’t put in the extra effort, I will not even get into a second-tier university, let alone J University!”
“I do not want to listen to your explanations. Go to bed now!” Xiao ordered as he was worried that she would be too tired.
Ye Qiao, who was already in her pajamas, went to her bed obediently.
Lu Xiaogun was just as domineering as his father, but they were both gentlemen toward her.
“Xiao, I am already on my bed. You should sleep early too! Oh ya, before you leave, give me a call, okay? Also, I will send you a message every day, but you don’t have to worry about replying. You just focus on your things, and don’t worry about me. Your girlfriend is not a weakling!”
The little girl was so thoughtful.
Just when he was about to say something, he received an alert from his electrical watch. Lao Cai’s unpleasant voice could be heard ordering him to go back immediately.
Ye Qiao could also hear Lao Cai’s voice from the other end of the line.
“Xiao, you did not even get any rest yet…” Ye Qiao felt sorry for him.
“I am not tired at all. I can still get on top of you until dawn! Girl, you better wait, remember what you said, when I am back, from morning to night, I will…” He should not continue; otherwise, he would not be able to control himself and would climb over to Ye Qiao’s house!
“Yes! I will wait!” How she wished it was already a year later.
“Ye Qiao…”
“Yes?”
“Te amo!”
“What? Xiao? What did you say?” Ye Qiao did not hear it clearly.
“Te amo! Okay, that’s it. You should hang up now!” He repeated what he said again, but Ye Qiao still did not understand what he said, she asked him what he meant but he refused to explain, so she had no choice but to end the call.
Ye Qiao hurried towards the window. Even though she could not see him from so far away, she saw that his car engine was started and that his car’s lights were turned on. She waved her hands wildly and even tried to quietly call for him.
He probably heard her as he honked the car horn three times before he left.
Ye Qiao put her hands together; with teary eyes, she made a wish in her heart that he would come back safely.
“Lu Xiaogun, what does ‘Te Amo’ mean?” She could not sleep after tossing around on the bed for a while, so she asked him while holding her phone in her hands.
“It means ‘I Love You’ in Spanish,” He knew that mummy missed daddy a lot, thus he replied thoughtfully.
Tears ran down her cheeks. She was crying because she was moved, but there was also a smile on her face.
“Your daddy is still the same as before… shy on the outside but wild on the inside!” Her heart ached a little as she continued, “Like before in my previous life, daddy still loved mummy very much…”
***
In August, the scorching sun was as hot as fire, but Ye Qiao loved the feeling of walking under the sun without using a parasol. The sun was just like Beixiao, who also happened to be born in August. As always, the neighborhood was full of vitality.
Downstairs in the apartment, the sound of a fight could be heard from the recording studio’s speaker as the boys were watching a movie again.
