Chapter 44 - Did He Just Call Me Mom? (3)
Ye Qing looked at the man standing behind her, then at the little girl. Her badminton racket dragging behind her as she was rushing over. The little girl was huffing and puffing as though she was worried that her mom would be bullied.
Ye Qing said in a regretful voice, “Probably not today. I promised the child I will play with her today. You two enjoy yourselves.”
Little kiddo Chen Mian, who had just rushed over, stood in front of Ye Qing, lifted her head and said in a huff, “That’s right! Mommy is here to play badminton with me today!”
What is wrong with this aunty! First she wanted to fight over her daddy, now she wanted to fight over her mommy.
She re-emphasized her point, “I asked mommy to come play badminton with me first!”
Lin Xu didn’t care much about this rude and unruly kid. She gave the rugrat a look before she turned to Yang Teng and said, “Yang Teng, do you mind playing one game with the kid? I would like to have a game with her mom.”
Yang Teng was in the entertainment circle after all. Naturally, he could tell that the woman he was interested in was not very fond of the woman in front of her.
When one was fond of someone, they liked who they liked and disliked who they didn’t.
Thus, he’d dislike anyone that Lin Xu disliked.
Not to mention that this woman was plain looking and short; she didn’t remotely measure up to Lin Xu.
The little girl though, was quite cute.
He didn’t mind playing a little bit with her then taking a picture with her and uploading it onto WeChat later as a fan service.
Thinking about it for just a little bit, Yang Teng squatted down in front of little kiddo Chen Mian. Showing her what he thought was his perfect smile, he said, “Hi, little girl. Would you like to play badminton with big brother while big sister plays with your mom? Big brother is very good at badminton eh!”
Little kiddo Chen Mian rolled her deep blue eyes and said angrily, “No!”
She then thought about it for a bit and added, “Uncle!”
The man had referred to himself as “big brother”. She certainly didn’t have a big brother like him!
The smile on Yang Teng’s face disappeared quickly.
Ever since he was a child, he had always been able to have his ways with young women and kids. This was the first time he was rejected. And what did she just call him? Uncle?
Uncle???
But he was a public figure. He maintained the smile as he stood up and gave Lin Xu a look.
Ye Qing witnessed the entire exchange. She rubbed the little girl on her head and smiled. “The kid didn’t seem to like that idea. I think the two of you should return to your own court.”
Lin Xu really didn’t like rude and unruly children like Chen Mian, but she was also disturbed by how Ye Qing just went along with whatever the unruly child wanted.
But now that Ye Qing had already said what she had said, Lin Xu had no choice but to return with Yang Teng.
But before she walked away, she didn’t forget to add a loaded comment, “Miss Ye Qing seems to always go along with what her daughter says?”
Ye Qing’s smile deepened. She rubbed the angry girl some more. Pulling her into her arms, she replied with, “She’s a very good kid and gets good grades at school. Her dad likes her a lot too. As her parents, we don’t have a lot of complaints. If you think I always go along with what she said, you should see how her dad is around her.”
Lin Xu’s smile dimmed. “Is that so?” was the last thing she said before she walked away.
