And Shi Xi, who was still in the lounge, was restless.

Too quiet.

A staff member came knocking on the door and asked Hua Wenyin to deal with a problem.

Hua Wenyin: "You sit first, I'll be back later."

Shixi: "Okay."

Tao Boli: "I'll wait for you here."

Shixi: ?

After Hua Wenyin went out, Shi Xi stared at Tao Boli.

Tao Boli noticed her gaze, "What's wrong?"

"You..." Shi Xi thought about his words, "Do you want to be my stepfather?"

It's not even the slightest euphemism.

Tao Boli said nervously, "Why do you say that?"

"Since you came in, your eyes haven't left my mother." Shi Xi broke the orange, his eyes wary.

"Is it so obvious?" Tao Boli thought.

It seems that he hasn't looked away since he saw Hua Wenyin.

"You knew each other a long time ago, could it be—" Shi Xi thought of a possibility.

Tao Boli's heart lifted.

He didn't tell Shi Xi.

This was all guessed by Shi Xi himself!

Shi Xi guessed, "Could it be that you had a crush on my mother at the beginning, and you were so sad after she got married, so you went abroad to study abroad? Now that you see her alone, do you want to pursue it again?"

Tao Boli:  …

Except for a little error in the middle, everything else is correct.

Tao Boli skipped Shixi's guess and asked, "Do you think I'm not worthy of her?"

Shi Xi leaned against the sofa to eat oranges, thinking about it: "This kind of thing depends on her own thoughts. I don't agree, I don't object, and I remain neutral."

Tao Boli: ...This unfortunate child!

But thinking that this is his own daughter, he can only recognize it.

When Hua Wenyin came back, she brought coffee to Shixi, "I'll have a few more minutes here, darling, I'll take you to dinner later."

Shi Xi nodded obediently, "Okay~"

Hua Wenyin also patted Shixi's head, took the design version and went out.

He didn't look at Tao Boli the whole time.

Didn't even bring him a cup of coffee.

Shixi took the coffee and handed it over, "You drink it, I don't drink it."

"No, I'll just eat oranges." Tao Boli was in a low mood.

Chasing a wife is hard.

Not even a cup of coffee.

Shi Xi suggested: "You must impress her with a sincere heart."

Tao Boli sighed.

Shi Xi even messed up his own love, and he couldn't bring any constructive meaning to others, so he could only drink coffee silently.

Sit for a while.

Tao Boli suddenly said almost: "Xixi, how do you think I treat you?"

Shixi: ?

No matter what.

"What do you want me to do?" Shi Xi was vigilant while holding the coffee.

"Let's go to dinner together later, can you go back first after eating, and I'll take her home." Tao Boli only wanted a world for two.

"It's nothing." Shi Xi tangled + said cautiously, "But, what if, I mean if, my mother doesn't invite you to dinner?"

Tao Boli: ...the possibility is too great.

Hua Wenyin came in to deliver coffee without his share.

Not to mention eating!

"I'll be with you, she won't drive me away, will she?" Tao Boli thought about the scene.

Shixi: "Maybe."

Tao Boli: "My treat!"

Hua Wenyin came in from the outside and heard that Tao Boli wanted to treat a guest, she smiled comfortably, "Since you said you want to treat a guest, let's go."

Tao Boli happily put down the oranges.

Shi Xi was stunned for a moment.

what happened?

Does she have a stepfather?

No hey!

You wait for me!
