52. Should I have told you about Qian Qian earlier?
Decency, what is that?
Jiang Zhi did not know.
She only knew that the towing would incur an extra fee, which wasn’t expensive, but there was a free laborer right in front of her, so why not use it?
Su Yan’s right eyelid twitched violently.
“Come on～” Jiang Zhi tugged at his arm, even her eyelashes were working hard.
Should we say or not…
She really had some talent for acting cute. Especially when paired with that cold, ice-cold face; the contrast was simply off the charts.
No one could withstand that face.
Jiang Zhi had always been confident about her looks.
Then, she saw Su Yan expressionlessly point to his cheek and with a greasy, domineering tone said slowly, “Give me a kiss.”
“A kiss? I’d give you my life.”
Ew 🤮🤮🤮!
Jiang Zhi was taken aback.
She shook off Su Yan’s arm, showing a look of disgust: “Yue, you’re so gross!”
“Same to you.” Su Yan refused to back down.
Who made you gross me out first?
“Fine, if you won’t help, then don’t help.”
Jiang Zhi rolled the car window back up.
Originally, she just simply wanted to take advantage of some free labor. If Su Yan was unwilling, aside from losing a bit of decency, she had nothing to lose.
At that moment, Qian Qian’s little head popped up from the middle.
“Mom, did you just act cute?”
Jiang Zhi glanced at her and chose not to respond.
In such a situation, saying nothing was the best choice.
Once she acknowledged the child, the little girl would chatter endlessly, saying things that would only make the atmosphere awkward.
After half a month, Jiang Zhi had become quite experienced.
After a long minute, the green light came on.
Jiang Zhi was surprised to find that the car didn’t go straight through the intersection but instead slowly turned a corner and headed to where she had pointed earlier, finally stopping steadily in front of the supermarket.
“Get out,” Su Yan said.
Jiang Zhi paused for a few seconds, glancing at the little electric scooter not far away, then at Su Yan, who was unfastening his seatbelt next to her.
Protecting her chest, she said alertly, “I’m not going to kiss you!”
“Isn’t it just whether you get out or not?” Su Yan pretended to refasten his seatbelt and pressed on the gas, almost taking off.
“Get out, get out, get out!”
“Oh, you really don’t understand humor,” Jiang Zhi chuckled, turning to Qian Qian and said, “Stay good in the car, okay?”
Once out of the car, she walked over to the little electric scooter.
You poor thing! Laborer!
To be honest, Jiang Zhi was rather nostalgic.
This electric bike only had a flat tire; just replacing the tire would make it rideable again, so she certainly had no intention of giving it up.
If she remembered correctly, the little scooter was still within the warranty period.
Right near Snack Street, there was a flagship store, so Jiang Zhi said to Su Yan, “Just drop us off at Snack Street.”
Su Yan felt something was off: “Didn’t you say you were sending me?”
“Yeah, sending you,” Jiang Zhi laughed heartily and justifiably replied, “You just say we are going to Snack Street!”
Truly invincible.
Was this really your fundamental purpose? Was everything within your expectations? Hah, Jiang Zhi!
Su Yan was left speechless.
He was told to communicate well with his daughter, but Qian Qian had hardly said a word the entire journey.
The worst was that he didn’t even know what to say, just sitting there nodding along.
Even though Qian Qian was his daughter, he and she had only known each other for two days, which might not be as good as Jiang Zhi.
So, he was a bit at a loss for words.
Just earlier at Jiang Zhi’s house, while playing with Qian Qian’s dolls, he just watched as Princess Leilei fell into the hands of the Milk Dragon, responding like an automaton.
“I’ll move the front of the car, you move the back, okay?”
Jiang Zhi directed.
Su Yan raised an objection: “Shouldn’t we load these things onto the car first? … Why is there a Maotai on your car?”
Upon further inspection, there were also two packs of cigarettes in the trunk.
“Ah… this…”
With that, Jiang Zhi simply sighed tiredly.
Su Yan was Qian Qian’s father, so there was no need to hide the matter concerning Principal Wang from him.
At that moment, she recounted the events from the day before, including how she almost was harassed.
“… So, is that Principal Wang doing okay?”
“Him? Hmph!” Just mentioning that pig made Jiang Zhi furious: “Who knows, 🐔8️⃣ must be gone by now.”
Su Yan inhaled sharply, quietly adjusting his legs.
A woman of great talent!
This girl really didn’t hold back, mentioning 🐔8️⃣ long and 🐔8️⃣ short, no wonder she was the mother of his child, she was extraordinary!
“In situations like this, why don’t I handle it next time?”
Su Yan thought for a moment and proposed.
Jiang Zhi looked at him in confusion: “What? Are you talking about blowing up a 🐔? You’re in the letter circle?”
“I mean… never mind.”
Su Yan gave up halfway through his explanation, not expecting this single-threaded creature to understand his meaning.
He just felt…
Helping his daughter solve school problems, taking action to negotiate, should be done by the child’s father.
He certainly didn’t deny Jiang Zhi’s efforts; perhaps at heart, he was a bit of a traditionalist.
However, he had never had a girlfriend before, so there was no opportunity to display such traditionalism.
Although now, he was nominally still single.
But he had family now, his daughter was definitely family, he had a little girl who would call him dad.
Hmm, family.
Something suddenly flashed through his mind, and Su Yan’s eyes dimmed.
But he quickly adjusted himself, casting his gaze toward a woman nearby who was struggling with two buckets of peanut oil.
As for Jiang Zhi…
He silently grabbed a bucket of oil: “You go move the Maotai.”
As for Jiang Zhi… that could wait for later.
————
After loading the little electric scooter into the trunk of the car, although the trunk couldn’t quite close, there was no issue as long as they drove slowly.
Jiang Zhi was panting, collapsing in the passenger seat, and weakly called to the back: “Rub my back!”
“Got it!”
The little girl immediately turned into a caring little cotton-padded jacket, her soft little fists gently tapping Jiang Zhi’s back.
Su Yan saw this scene and scoffed, expressing his feelings openly.
“Useless thing.”
You’re the useless one!
Jiang Zhi was displeased; what did “useless thing” even mean?
She clearly put in some effort, alright! Who made this body so weak!
Jiang Zhi wanted to curse, but when she saw Su Yan sitting there relaxed, one hand on the steering wheel and the other casually resting on the window, she pouted and fell silent.
“How come you’re so fit when you play games every day?”
She asked.
In Jiang Zhi’s impression, those who sat in front of the computer playing games day and night shouldn’t they be universally weak?
Like her.
“I work out,” Su Yan said with a half-smile: “Want me to show you my abs?”
“Get lost, who wants to see that stuff.” Jiang Zhi closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
It’s just abs, what’s the big deal, as if everyone doesn’t have them! She had them too, just when she was a guy… to be more precise, it was during her high school days.
It’s strange, after graduating high school, it felt like everything she had acquired during those years just slipped away.
Friendship, abs, knowledge, and so on.
“Stop playing dead, let’s talk about something serious.”
At this moment, Su Yan said: “You don’t need to worry about Qian Qian’s schooling, I’ll handle it.”
“Oh… oh? Oh!”
Jiang Zhi suddenly wasn’t sleepy anymore, quickly opening her eyes and looking incredulously at Su Yan: “Is that okay?”
“Isn’t it okay?”
Su Yan retorted: “I’m also Qian Qian’s dad, right?”
Saying he would take responsibility for Qian Qian, meant he could definitely do it; a father should care about his daughter’s education.
“No… what I mean is… uh…”
Jiang Zhi was at a loss for words.
This topic came out of nowhere.
What kind of situation was this?
One second she was discussing abs with Su Yan, and then suddenly it got serious?
Jiang Zhi thought for a long time, feeling something was off, but couldn’t quite put her finger on it. Her mood inexplicably turned a little gloomy, completely opposite to the bright sunshine outside.
“Thank you.”
She said.
“Should I have told you about Qian Qian earlier?”
She added.
Su Yan rhythmically tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, and through the central rearview mirror, he could see Qian Qian’s little face clearly.
“It is a bit late,” he said.
