Chapter 208: Suppression from Pei Jingzhou, Give Up Struggling
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Xiwu was wondering if she should order candied hawthorn from her phone or go out to buy it herself.
The cute little guy said one word to Li Xiwu— “Hug. ”
Li Xiwu was stunned. She didn’t know how to react for the time being. Behind her, Madam Di Xin reminded her, “Miss Li, he wants you to hug him. Hurry up and hug him.”
Li Xiwu pursed her lips. She was not very good at carrying children, but she could not refuse a child’s request. She gritted her teeth and stretched out her hands stiffly. Bit by bit, she slowly carried the little guy over.
The kid was a little heavy. But it was still easy to pick him up. Just as Li Xiwu exerted a little strength and was about to pick up Yaoyao, Yaoyao stretched out his small arms and wrapped them around Li Xiwu’s neck. He asked her, “Who are you?”
Li Xiwu didn’t know the little guy’s seniority. She turned to look at Madam Di Xin.
Madam Di Xin said, “Yaoyao is my grandson.”
Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows in surprise. Madam Di Xin had such a young grandson? Logically speaking, Madam Di Xin’s grandson should be about the same age as her, and the little guy should be her great-grandson. However, since Madam Di Xin said so, Li Xiwu naturally would not ask curiously.
According to seniority, she said to the little guy, “You can call me Sister.”
With that, Yaoyao immediately let go and retreated, keeping a distance from Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu could tell from the little guy’s resisting expression that he didn’t want to call her Sister. She smiled faintly. “You can call me by my name too. My name is Li Xiwu.”
Yaoyao didn’t say anything.
Li Xiwu continued, “The candied hawthorn tastes sour and sweet. The icing is crispy. Do you want to eat it? If you do, cooperate with the doctor for a checkup first. I’ll go buy you the candied hawthorn now.”
Yaoyao refused. “I don’t want it.”
This rejection was decisive and firm.
Li Xiwu, who had thought that she could coax the child with good food, immediately became helpless. She pursed her lips in silence for a few seconds, then slowly stood up. She took half a step back and turned to Madam Di Xin. “I’m sorry, Madam Di Xin.”
Since the little guy did not like her, Li Xiwu could not think of any way to coax the little guy into liking her. She could only explain it to Madam Di Xin and turn to leave. If she did not go back, Auntie would be anxious.
Seeing that Li Xiwu was about to leave, Madam Di Xin was a little anxious. “Miss Li…”
At this moment, Yaoyao, who was squatting behind the door, suddenly stood up and ran out while no one was looking. “Quick! The little guy has escaped!”
“Madam—”
The doctor and bodyguard spoke at the same time.
In a moment of panic, Madam Di Xin clutched at the dull pain in her heart. “Quick, quick, get Yaoyao back.”
The bodyguard immediately chased after him. Li Xiwu didn’t expect the little guy to do this, and she couldn’t stop him in time. Those short legs ran so fast that he was gone in the blink of an eye.
The bodyguard chased after him and looked around. Finally, they split up and made arrangements. “You go to the stairwell. I’ll go this way.”
After the two bodyguards left separately, Yaoyao, who squatted behind a cluster of loose-tailed sunflowers in the corner, slowly stood up and saw someone passing by. He obediently followed behind them quietly. He looked like someone else’s child. That would not attract attention.
In the children’s department.
The doctor frowned. “This won’t do. We have to get Madam Di Xin to take a look at the cardiology department. I’ll get the nurse to come quickly.” Li Xiwu nodded.
The nurse quickly rushed over. When she was about to help Madam Di Xin away, Madam Di Xin took Li Xiwu’s hand. “Find Yaoyao.”
Li Xiwu couldn’t say anything too definite. “I’ll try.”
Madam Di Xin didn’t let go, and Li Xiwu couldn’t pull back.
The doctor said that they could not delay it, so he asked Li Xiwu to accompany him to the Cardiology Department first.
Li Xiwu agreed without hesitation. “Sure.”
Meanwhile, the elevator door on the floor slowly opened. Pei Jingzhou was about to walk out of the elevator when a small shadow rushed in and hit his leg!
“Ouch—”
The boy crashed flat on his back. He covered his head and cried out in a coquettish voice.
Chen Xin asked worriedly, “Mr. Pei, are you alright?”
Pei Jingzhou gestured for Chen Xin to look at the little guy who had fallen to the ground. Chen Xin quickly went forward and helped the little guy up. Unexpectedly, as soon as he helped him up, the back of Chen Xin’s hand was bitten. Chen Xin said in disbelief, “Hey, this kid bites!”
After saying that, he quickly waved his hand and looked at the back of his hand. There was a row of small teeth marks. Actually, being bitten didn’t hurt that much. It was just the first time a child had bitten him. Chen Xin was quite surprised.
Pei Jingzhou frowned. “Carry him out of the elevator first.”
Chen Xin did so.
However, the little guy was very stubborn and resisted anyone’s touch. When Chen Xin was about to reach out to hug him, he used his short hands to punch and kick him. Chen Xin placed a hand on the top of the little guy’s head. No matter how the little guy punched and kicked, it was only air. It could not even touch his clothes.
Chen Xin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Mr. Pei, look at this kid. He’s not very big, but he has a bad temper.”
He was being mocked. Yaoyao took the hand off his head and opened his mouth to bite. However, this time, he took a bite of air. Not only did he take a bite of air, but he also felt his body floating in the air!
Pei Jingzhou held the little guy’s back collar with one hand and carried him out of the elevator before it closed.
Chen Xin followed him out and saw Mr. Pei, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, carrying a little boy who was more than a meter tall in one hand. He looked extremely like a furious father going out to look for his playful son and preparing to bring him home to teach him a lesson.
Chen Xin shook his head violently. What was he thinking? It was very difficult for Miss Li and Mr. Pei’s child to mature without seven or eight years.
Pei Jingzhou carried the little guy and took a few steps away. He watched as the little guy gradually gave up and gave up struggling.
Pei Jingzhou looked at him. “Not fooling around anymore?”
The kid said nothing, his head drooping. Pei Jingzhou put the little guy down. Although he controlled his strength, the little guy still lost his balance and fell to the ground. He let out another “ouch.”
Pei Jingzhou crossed his arms and looked down. “Stand up yourself.”
The child did not seem to hear him and was indifferent.
Pei Jingzhou repeated, “Stand up.”
In the next second, the child stood uD reluctantlv.
Pei Jingzhou ordered, “Pat your pants clean.” The child pouted, on the verge of tears.
Pei Jingzhou said in a low voice, “Don’t cry.”
The little guy looked up at Pei Jingzhou. His grape-sized black eyes were clear and bright, revealing ignorance and childish… stupidity!
The adult and child looked at each other. Pei Jingzhou’s expression was serious and dignified. The little guy felt wronged. His mouth flattened and he looked like he was about to cry.
Chen Xin, who had followed over, almost couldn’t help but laugh when he saw this scene.. He suppressed his laughter and said—
