Chapter 24 Accidents
When I got home, it was almost 5 o'clock.
As soon as I walked into the hall, I saw Xue Qi sitting cross-legged on the sofa eating lychees and watching TV, but what surprised me a little was that Xue Qi was only wearing a thin pajamas and shorts today, and she didn't even wear a coat, and her snow-white skin was so white that people didn't dare to look at it directly, which was particularly conspicuous.
"Papa, you're back. Seeing me come back, Xueqi called me happily, and then continued to watch TV and eat lychees.
"Qiqi, where did you find these fresh lychees?" I asked with some curiosity when I saw the lychees on the coffee table in front of Xueqi.
"Oh, papa, I took the fresh lychee from the fridge. β
"Ah, Qiqi, why are you so greedy, you found the lychees I just bought yesterday and hid them in the refrigerator?"
"Hee-hee. Because papa you don't hide well enough. When I said this, Xue Qi grinned.
"Then I won't buy it next time. I bought it and you were all eaten. β
As soon as she heard me say this, Xue Qi immediately became a little scared, and said to me apologetically with a light brow: "Well~ papa, I want to eat lychees, don't buy them for me." Next time I won't steal it. Let the papa eat first, and I'll eat it later. β
Hearing Xue Qi say this, I laughed and said to Xue Qi: "I lied to you, if you want to eat, I will buy it for you." Do you think PAPA is good?"
"Well, Papa is so good!" Xue Qi suddenly smiled, then picked up a lychee and peeled it, and said to me, "Papa, I'll peel the lychee for you to eat!"
I sat down on the sofa, watched Xueqi pluck the lychees, and then asked her, "Qiqi, why don't you wear a coat today?" β
When I said this, Xue Qi frowned a little unhappily, looked at me and said, "Don't, papa, those clothes have become smelly and dirty." β
Hearing Xue Qi say this, I was stunned for a moment, and something came to my mind.
After that, I went to the bedroom to check Xueqi's clothes, and I was taken aback, it turned out that because I was too busy during this time, I didn't spend too much time washing Xueqi's clothes, which caused many of Xueqi's clothes to be yellow and moldy. No wonder Xue Qi dislikes these clothes for being dirty.
Seeing that Xueqi's clothes had changed their smell, I regretted that I didn't bother to wash them at that time.
Now the clothes are moldy, and the color on them can't be washed clean, so depending on the situation, I can only buy a few more pieces for Xueqi.
So after checking the clothes, I immediately went to the living room, found Xueqi, and told her to take her to buy new clothes.
Xue Qi has always been very keen on buying clothes, and now when she heard me say that she was going to take her to buy clothes, she immediately cheered.
Because of the late finishing of dinner in the summer, I took advantage of the time before dinner to drive Xueqi to the shopping mall in the city center to buy a few short shirts and short sleeves, and by the way, I also bought Xueqi a pair of red wind sandals.
Because Xueqi's aesthetic is still very naΓ―ve, I basically chose her clothes, although there were a few that she was not very satisfied with, but she had to accept it at my insistence.
However, when Xueqi hugged the new clothes I bought for her, she was still very happy, although she didn't like the style I chose for her.
When she was in the car, Xueqi happily wanted to take apart her clothes and change them, but she was stopped by me, saying that it was easy to get dirty outside, and she would change them when she got home.
Xue Qi agreed with a sigh.
On the way home, I looked at Xue Qi with a happy face, but Tang Mengyan's appearance appeared in my mind again, at that time I thought of something, and suddenly said to Xue Qi: "Qiqi, do you want to find you a beautiful mother in Papa?"
Hearing me say this, Xue Qi raised her head and looked at me in some surprise, her dark eyes didn't blink, and then she raised her mouth and smiled and said, "Yes, is what Papa said true?"
"If it's true, is Qiqi happy?"
"Hmm. I'm glad. Xue Qi nodded her little head and said, "Papa, my classmates all say that I don't have a mother, and if I have a new mother, they won't say that I am a child without a mother." β
Hearing Xue Qi's words, my heart tingled a little, I didn't expect Xue Qi to be said like this in school, which made me a little worried about Xue Qi's experience in school. But I didn't show it, I just smiled and said, "That's good, Papa will definitely find a new mother for Qiqi who is both beautiful and can buy beautiful clothes for Qiqi." β
"Well, Papa does what he says! Xue Qi looked at me excitedly, without blinking, and then looked at the clothes in her hand, and kept muttering, "New mother, new mother......"
Seeing Xue Qi's expectant and happy expression, I was a little relieved. It seems that Xueqi herself is looking forward to having a mother.
It seems that the rest is just Tang Mengyan's rhetoric.
After returning home, I put on new clothes for Xueqi, and after putting on a new outfit, Xueqi happily jumped around like a puppy, and deliberately imitated the stars on TV to pose, and suddenly used the lily gesture to hold her chin and pretend to be cute, and suddenly put her hands on her face to pretend to be a crying cat to show me, which made me laugh.
After arguing with Xue Qi for a while, I was also a little thirsty, so I asked Xue Qi to fetch me a cup of hot water for me to drink. At that time, Xue Qi asked me stupidly, papa, it's so hot, why do you still drink boiling water?
I told Xue Qi that her body is hot in summer, and drinking cold water is very stimulating to the body, which will make the body uncomfortable, so it is better to boil water. At that time, Xue Qi nodded as if she didn't understand and poured water for me.
Just as Xueqi was pouring water for me, I was startled by a knock at the door of my house.
Very few people in my house come knocking on the door, but why would someone knock on the door today?
I thought about several possibilities, but I ruled them out one by one. Tang Mengyan: No way, she went to a party with her classmates, and she didn't know the specific location of my house, so it was impossible to find it. My aunt and uncle or any other relative? They didn't call me, probably not. My client or the manager of the company came to me? It's possible. In the past, my clients have also come to my house, and at that time I used to explain to them that Xueqi was my sister and deceived them more than once. During this period of time, the company's performance was unstable, and it was not impossible for customers to come to me to talk.
In short, at that time, I had a mixed guess in my mind, but there was no positive result, so I simply walked towards the door outside the villa, because in my guess it is estimated that there will not be any important person, so when I opened the door, my emotions were quite stable, but the moment I opened, I was unstable.
Because the person standing outside the door is the person I didn't expect.
Tang Mengyan was standing outside the door, with her hands on her hips, her head tilted sideways, and she looked at me with a mysterious smile: "What, I didn't expect it to be me, right?"
"Yan Yan...... How did you find it?" I was so surprised to see Tang Mengyan standing outside my house, I felt like my brain had fallen heavily to the ground like a ball of mud, turning into a puddle of loose sand.
"Wang Fatzi asked. I can't even guess that, stupid. Tang Mengyan blinked at me and said, then pushed me, wanting to push me in the direction of the house, "Hehe, you can't shirk it this time, right? Let me have a good visit to your nest!"
Seeing Tang Mengyan's smug face, I only felt a cold sweat on the back of my neck, Xueqi was in the house, if Tang Mengyan was allowed to go in and see it...... I didn't dare to imagine the consequences, so I simply blocked the door, found a topic and whispered to Tang Mengyan: "Yanyan, didn't you go to a party with your friends? Why did you come to my house again...... I said I wanted to rest today and didn't want to party at home. Shouldn't your friend be here too?" I said as I deliberately looked behind Tang Mengyan, but found that there was no one else behind Tang Mengyan, and this time she seemed to have come alone.
"Don't worry, I'm here alone this time, I don't want to go to my friend's party, so I found you here. Well, you can get some rest now, right? Tang Mengyan grinned, revealing a mouthful of teeth.
Hearing Tang Mengyan's words, I am even more of a head or two, Tang Mengyan's mind changed so quickly, she said that she would come to my house when she came to my house, her unpredictable personality really caught me off guard this time.
Looking at Tang Mengyan's miserable smile, I was really a little overwhelmed.
After a while, I was anxious and asked, "Yanyan, have you had dinner?" Hehe, I just want to go out for dinner, why don't we go together? Let's go, let's go." As she spoke, I pushed Tang Mengyan's shoulders and squeezed her out of the house.
"Eh, what are you doing? Something looks wrong. I've just eaten it. Why are you pushing me, let me go in and take a look?" was pushed by me like this, Tang Mengyan immediately saw that something was wrong with me, in fact, even I knew that my expression at this moment must be very strange, but I had to do it.
I don't want Tang Mengyan and Xueqi to meet on such an occasion. Especially for a period of time, I have kept Xue Qi's affairs and Tang Mengyan secret for so long. If I had told Tang Mengyan at the beginning, I might not have been weak-minded, but now that I have been hiding it for so long, the more I hide it, the more I am empty-hearted, if it is exposed today, Tang Mengyan will wonder why I have been hiding it from her for so long.
But at this time, something even more unexpected happened.
"Papa, papa, tea is here, for you to drink. β
Xue Qi's delicate voice sounded in the back of my head, and my whole body froze when I heard it.
I turned my head and lowered my gaze to see Xue Qi holding a glass of steaming water, with her mouth fixed open, looking up at me and Tang Mengyan who was grabbed by my shoulder.
At that moment, the world stood still.
I didn't look back, but I could imagine that Tang Mengyan's gaze behind me must have also fallen on Xue Qi in front of me at this moment. Because at that moment, Tang Mengyan's body also froze.
Obviously, she also heard Xue Qi's words clearly just now.
Of course, if Xue Qi just called me Papa and then asked me to drink water, maybe Tang Mengyan would not have a more violent reaction, but the most terrible thing was Xue Qi's next words.
Maybe it was because of the intimate posture of me holding Tang Mengyan's shoulder, Xueqi, who didn't understand anything, suddenly had her eyes lit up, and looked at Tang Mengyan behind me timidly, and then retracted her gaze, looking at me with dark eyes, a little nervous and couldn't hold back her joy and whispered to me:
"Papa, this sister, is it the new mother you found for me?"
Everything was disrupted.
At that moment, I was completely disillusioned.
