Chapter 20: What You Should Not Know
Wan Zigui gracefully picked up the post, and walked towards the two of them with long legs.
"I'm looking for Xiangyu." He handed the post to Qiu Xiyan and pinched Zhuo Nianqi's cheek, "Nianqi is going to have a birthday, I'll bring you a birthday gift in a few days." β
Zhuo Nianqi was quite close to Wan Zigui, and he was not angry when his face was pinched, but said happily: "Uncle Wan, what will you give this year?" β
"There's no surprise when I say that." Wan Zigui put his index finger against his thin lips, shushed, and turned upstairs with a smile.
That posture is enviable.
"Qingqing, you don't like Uncle Wan too, do you?" Zhuo Nianqi saw Xu Yueqing look at Wan Zigui a few more times, and suddenly became anxious.
How can Qingqing like Uncle Wan!
Xu Yueqing slapped the back of his head with a smile and scolded: "What nonsense! Hurry up and continue to pick the guests for the birthday party! β
"Oh!" Zhuo Nianqi covered the back of his head, still uneasy.
Otherwise, go and remind Daddy tonight, let Uncle Wan not come recently!
By the way, it's okay to let your dad take home a birthday gift directly!
"Ahh Wan Zigui stood in front of the window, sneezed, rubbed his nose, and thought that he might have caught a cold.
Zhuo Xiangyu poured a glass of champagne and handed it to him, "What's the matter, it's cold?" β
"It's fine." Wan Zigui took the champagne and glanced at the closed study door before asking Zhuo Xiangyu, "She still doesn't know anything?" β
Zhuo Xiangyu knew who Wan Zigui was referring to, and the hand holding the wine glass tightened slightly.
"I know, but I don't know yet."
Wan Zigui was dizzy by Zhuo Xiangyu's words, and asked, "Do you know or don't know?" β
"I don't know which person is talkative, let her know that she looks exactly like the 'former lady', before she was angry because of this, almost left, fortunately I was fooled."
"It's a good thing she's easier to deceive now than before, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to keep people." Wan Zigui took a sip of champagne and felt that this matter was too dangerous, "I see that Nian Qi is getting along with her very well now, and Nian Qi knows about this?" β
"I know, but it's not because of this incident that Nian Qi will be so close to her."
"In the past few days since I came, has anything big happened?" Wan Zigui sniffed out that there was still an inside story here, and the gossip was burning.
"If it weren't for her, Nian Qi might have had an accident in the woods when it rained heavily a few days ago." Zhuo Xiangyu still thinks of that night and still has some feelings for her, "Because she saved Nian Qi, she lay in bed with a fever for several days, and it was just right for the past two days." β
Wan Zigui smiled thoughtfully, and said to Zhuo Xiangyu: "Between the two of them, this is considered by nature?" β
Zhuo Xiangyu was stunned, and then laughed out loud.
Indeed, it is nature.
Wan Zigui and Zhuo Xiangyu talked mysteriously in the study all afternoon, and when dinner time was almost up, they left in a hurry.
In the kitchen, Xu Yueqing was busy making crème brûlée for Zhuo Nianqi.
"Why didn't he stay to eat?" Xu Yueqing knew that Wanzi had returned, and there was still some surprise, didn't Zhuo Xiangyu leave anyone to eat?
"We don't pay attention to those politenesses between us." Zhuo Xiangyu naturally reached out and brought the baking tray in Xu Yueqing's hand, "I'll just send it to the oven, you stay away from the oven in the future, the burns from the past are still there, right?" β
Xu Yueqing froze in place, she did have burns on her arms. However, the scar was left many years ago, and she never wore sleeveless clothes when she came to the Zhuo family, how did Zhuo Xiangyu know?
"How do you know I've been burned?"
Zhuo Xiangyu pursed his lips and was silent, as if he was hesitating whether to tell Xu Yueqing the truth.
"Because you're my mommy." Zhuo Nianqi stood at the door of the kitchen, as if he was talking about what to eat tonight, and easily dropped such a time bomb.
