“Go on, when she’s back, I will have her give you a call.”
Dongfang Yu nodded, turned around, and left.
After hanging up the phone, Hai Xiaotang asked Tao Yi with confusion, “Why didn’t you say your name?”
Tao Yi chuckled, “If Grandpa Hai knew I was with you, he would definitely be upset.”
“Why?” Hai Xiaotang didn’t understand.
The man said with a pretended seriousness, “Grandpa Hai would think, ‘That little bastard came to C City and didn’t visit me first, but ran off to find my granddaughter. And it’s so late at night, isn’t he up to something with my granddaughter? No way, next time 1 see him, I must teach him a lesson!’”
Hai Xiaotang couldn’t help but giggle, “No way, Grandpa wouldn’t think that.” “What if he does?” Tao Yi’s eyes grew more intense.
Hai Xiaotang shook her head firmly, “He wouldn’t. He would be relieved if 1 were with you. He must trust you a lot!”
Tao Yi nodded, staring at her as he asked, “What about you, do you trust me?”
Ilai Xiaotang nodded without hesitation, “Of course!”
“You trust me so much?” The man raised his brows, “I’m rather flattered.”
Ilai Xiaotang laughed, “The uniform you wear feels very comforting to me, the whole nation trusts you guys!”
Tao Yi glanced at his military uniform and pretended to sigh regretfully, “So you trust my uniform, but my face doesn’t inspire trust?”
Although Tao Yi had a slightly soldierly air about him, his gaze was upright, giving others a very solid feeling.
Ilai Xiaotang laughed, “Commander, I also trust you!”
Tao Yi was satisfied and commanded, “Since you trust me so much, relax and enjoy the evening. I guarantee I’ll get you home safely.”
“Yessir!” Ilai Xiaotang immediately saluted.
Tao Yi responded with a solemn salute, causing Hai Xiaotang to burst into laughter.
The duo were happily chatting away in the restaurant.
Meanwhile, in a chic French restaurant, Lin Xinxin and Chai Xiyang were sitting across from each other.
But the atmosphere was anything but pleasant.
Lin Xinxin was feeling down tonight, which was still bothering her till now.
Chai Xiyang couldn’t stand to see a woman cry. In his view, women should always be smiling, not crying.
He had to make a lot of effort to soothe Lin Xinxin.
Finally, Lin Xinxin broke into a smile, “Alright, I’m not upset anymore. 1 really appreciate you comforting me for so long.”
“So you’re really not upset anymore?”
“Yes.” Lin Xinxin nodded, speaking generously, “1 do still feel a bit wronged, but 1 don’t intend to dwell on it. Let’s eat! It would be a waste to let such delicious food go uneaten!”
She smiled as she picked up her knife and fork and started eating, coming across as a kind-hearted and innocent girl.
Chai Xiyang stared at her, also finding himself smiling.
Ultimately, Tao Yi decided to bring Hai Xiaotang home before 11 o’clock.
He didn’t dare to stay out too late with her, fearing that Grandpa Hai might get the wrong idea.
Rock music blared in the car, and Ilai Xiaotang’s head was bobbing rhythmically to it.
Seeing her mood improve, Tao Yi asked, “Are you still upset?”
Ilai Xiaotang hesitated briefly, and then burst into a smile, “I’m not upset anymore!”
“So, can you tell Big Brother why you cried tonight? Did something bad happen?”
Ilai Xiaotang sighed, “Yes, something terrible happened.”
“For God’s sake, don’t tell me you’ve been dumped!” Tao Yi said solemnly..
