Chapter 361 Dou Ya, the New G.o.dmother!
After Ling Tianyi asked them again and again, Xia Xiaoluo and Taotao finally sat in Ling Tianyi’s car.
“Where are we going? How about eating some seafood?” Ling Tianyi said hurriedly.
“Go to the airport!” Xia Xiaoluo said.
“Ah?” Ling Tianyi slammed on the brakes.
Ling Tianyi’s face changed. “Xiaoluo, don’t go! Please, don’t go! Don’t leave me. I know I am wrong. Please, don’t go! Please.”
“We are going to pick another new G.o.dmother up. We are not leaving. How can we leave without taking any luggage,” Taotao said with a scornful tone.
“Oh! That’s good. Dad is scared. Taotao, you and your mommy haven’t had breakfast yet. Are you hungry?” Ling Tianyi asked and started the car again.
It seemed that Ling Tianyi was asking Taotao, but in fact, he was asking Xia Xiaoluo. He wanted to know Xia Xiaoluo’s answer. It was better for him to continue to fix their relationship.
“Mommy said that we should get to the airport first just now, for fear of the traffic jam, or we can’t pick my new G.o.dmother up in time,” Taotao was playing with the Minion toy Xiaoxiao sent him yesterday while answering Ling Tianyi, “If there is no traffic jam, we’ll eat in the restaurant of the airport, waiting for my G.o.dmother. If there is a traffic jam, we’ll eat something together after we pick my new G.o.dmother up.”
“Well, Taotao, let’s eat something casually in the morning. It’s important to pick your new G.o.dmother up. We’ll treat your new G.o.dmother when she arrives at noon. Let’s go to eat seafood, OK?” Ling Tianyi said.
When Taotao heard the words of “seafood”, he remembered that Ling Tianyi didn’t trust him in the morning. So he snorted and ignored Ling Tianyi. He only focused on playing with the Minion toy.
Ling Tianyi was very upset. He didn’t know what to say. It seemed that everything he said was wrong. But he had to say something.
“Xiaoluo, do you know, our son is so sensible. I asked him what he wanted to eat this morning. Guess what he said?” Ling Tianyi asked. Xia Xiaoluo didn’t answer him, but listening to him quietly.
Ling Tianyi saw that Xia Xiaoluo didn’t answer him, but he knew that Xia Xiaoluo would listen to him. So he said to himself, “He told me that you said that you would not eat seafood until you recover. So he suggests eating the seafood feast now!”
“Look, our son is so filial. He knows how to concern about his mommy when he is so young. He will be more sensible and promising when he grows up!” Ling Tianyi was flattering Taotao. It was not easy for him to make this little guy happy yesterday. Today he made this little guy unhappy again because of his improper words. He had to redeem. He could give up everything if it was not easy to do. But if it related to his own wife and son, he couldn’t give up.
Taotao heard Ling Tianyi’s flattering words. He was satisfied. His dissatisfaction with Ling Tianyi was eliminated at this time.
Taotao pulled Xia Xiaoluo’s clothes. “Mommy, let’s invite my new G.o.dmother to eat the seafood feast together after we pick her up. You want to eat it as well. I also like it. I’m sure that my new G.o.dmother will like it, too.”
Ling Tianyi felt that his son was so good at this time. He praised Taotao hurriedly, “Very good, my son has his own mind!”
“Of course!” Taotao said proudly.
Until now, Ling Tianyi found that his son liked hearing the compliments. In the future, he could use this method to make his son accept him first.
But, Ling Tianyi ignored one point. This character of Taotao was very similar to him. In the past, no matter how angry he was made by Xia Xiaoluo, as long as she said the soft words or acted in a pettishly charming manner, his anger would be eliminated at once.
The car went well on the way. They arrived at the airport quickly. They heard the news that the plane was delayed and it would not arrive until 11:30.
“Taotao, let’s take your mommy to eat something first. When we pick your new G.o.dmother up, let’s invite her to eat the seafood feast, OK?” Ling Tianyi said.
“That was how we arranged!” Taotao rolled his eyes at Ling Tianyi.
Ling Tianyi arranged the breakfast. Taotao ate happily, but Xia Xiaoluo had no appet.i.te when she thought of what Ling Tianyi said yesterday.
Ling Tianyi wanted to explain to Xia Xiaoluo alone. But he felt that it was uneasy for him to say it when Taotao was here. If he put Taotao away, he would be worried about him because the airport was so big. If Taotao got lost, he would be crazy.
Ling Tianyi thought it over; finally, he had an idea.
Ling Tianyi put his mobile phone out and said to Taotao, “Son, look at you. You are holding the Minion toy that sister Xiaoxiao gave you all day. Do you miss sister Xiaoxiao?”
“Yes!” Taotao nodded. “I miss sister Xiaoxiao very much!”
“How about making a phone call to sister Xiaoxiao and chatting with her?” Ling Tianyi waved his mobile phone in front of Taotao.
“Yes, of course!” Taotao became excited at once. His eyes began to shine.
“Well, I will help you to get in touch with sister Xiaoxiao, and then you chat with her by yourself!” Ling Tianyi said and made a phone call to Xiaoxiao’s grandfather, and then he found Xiaoxiao through Xiaoxiao’s grandfather.
“Well, son. You can chat with sister Xiaoxiao by yourself!” Ling Tianyi gave his mobile phone to Taotao.
Taotao was very happy, and he took the initiative to kiss Ling Tianyi. Then he took the mobile phone and ran to another table, three seats away from his parents.
Ling Tianyi knew that Taotao didn’t want them to hear his phone call. So, in this way, Taotao was within his sight. And the little guy wouldn’t hear what Ling Tianyi said, because he was talking on the phone seriously.
“Xiaoluo, I have something to tell you!” Ling Tianyi held Xia Xiaoluo’s hands.
Xia Xiaoluo wanted to pull her hands out, but Ling Tianyi held her too tightly, she couldn’t make it.
“Taotao was watching us!” Xia Xiaoluo frowned.
“It’s nothing for daddy and mommy holding hands. And Taotao is busy chatting with the little beauty. He won’t look at us at all,” Ling Tianyi said. But he still respected the idea of Xia Xiaoluo, letting Xia Xiaoluo go.
“Xiaoluo, as for the thing that happened last night, I said that I did a paternity test for Taotao. I did not suspect you. I don’t mean to suspect you at all.”
“Let’s talk about it like this. At that time, I finally found a clue about you. But this clue led me abroad. You know that the headquarters of Huasheng Group is in A City. I can’t be abroad for a long time. I want to develop branch companies in A Country, D Country, and other countries. If I want to implement the plans, it must rely on my father’s prestige to persuade those shareholders.”
“However, if I told my father that I wanted to find you, he must disagree. Or even he would hold me back.”
“But, it’s different if I go to find my son, his grandson. I did the paternity test only to show it to my parents so that I could get their support and look for you. These years, I was looking for you abroad. And my father helped me to deal with the business affairs in A City if I couldn’t come back.”
“Now, the strength of Huasheng Group is stronger, and the overseas branches are also developing very well, even better than the development of domestic branches. That’s why I told you that I wouldn’t be subject to my father again. If he is against us, or he does not treat you well, I can take you abroad at any time to develop a career abroad. I can also give you and Taotao the best life.”
“So, Xiaoluo, please, you must believe me. I really didn’t suspect you. I wanted to obtain my parents’ support. It was helpful to find you and Taotao!”
Ling Tianyi said sincerely. Xia Xiaoluo believed him in her heart because it was very reasonable. This logic sounded perfect. What was more, the most important thing was that she loved Ling Tianyi. As long as his explanation was reasonable, she was willing to trust him.
Ling Tianyi knew that his explanation was good enough. With his understanding of Xia Xiaoluo, Xia Xiaoluo’s expression at this time already showed that she believed in him. He dared not to push her so hard or propose to her again. He was afraid that he would frighten Xia Xiaoluo away. Today, when Xia Xiaoluo said that she wanted to go to the airport, at that moment, Ling Tianyi’s heart was painful, like he was dying.
“Oh, right, Xiaoluo, who’s Taotao’s new G.o.dmother?” Ling Tianyi asked. He wanted to change a topic to say something relaxing to let Xia Xiaoluo’s spirit not so tight.
“In fact, it is Dou Ya. I got in touch with her through the Internet a few days ago. She said that she would go back today. I promised her to pick her up at the airport, letting her see Taotao and me as soon as she arrives.” Xia Xiaoluo said.
“It is Dou Ya! These years, she has been doing a part-time job at my company. To tell you the truth, although Taotao’s G.o.dmother is powerful, daring to beat me up, she did a good job here. She has the ability and diligence,” Ling Tianyi praised.
“Life pushed her to do so. She had to pay for her tuition and living expense. She has to rely on herself; otherwise, she could not live at all,” Xia Xiaoluo sighed. She and Dou Ya both had a bitter family background. But Dou Ya was much better than her.
“Dou Ya is a golden-collar staff in our company now. Her yearly salary, which is definitely enough for her to live a petty-bourgeois life,” Ling Tianyi said with a smile. He has been concerned about Dou Ya’s situation. All the people related to Xia Xiaoluo, he concerned about them secretly, including Xia Youfeng, who treated Xia Xiaoluo bad.
Ling Tianyi told Xia Xiaoluo something about Dou Ya’s situation now again. Dou Ya often traveled on official business to many countries during her studying period. Because of her excellent performance in working and her excellent foreign language proficiency, after her graduation, she was transferred to work in A Country by Ling Tianyi. And she also helped Ling Tianyi to find Xia Xiaoluo together.
“If Dou Ya was in A Country, didn’t she meet Ouyang Ziqian?” Xia Xiaoluo asked. It was the first time for her to call Ouyang Ziqian’s full name. Because she felt that it was a little unsuitable to call him Ouyang cousin or Ouyang Senior.
“Humph! That girl was too crazy. She boldly played a drama of girls going after boys,” Ling Tianyi said with a smile.
“Really? Wow, she is so cool!” Xia Xiaoluo was interested in it at once. She became excited as well. “Tell me about it!”
Ling Tianyi planned to keep Xia Xiaoluo guessing or tell her about it with some requirements at the beginning. But he was afraid to make Xia Xiaoluo angry again. That would ruin the moment.
Ling Tianyi cleared his throat, saying, “Then I’ll tell you all I know. But the details may be incomplete. When you two old friends meet each other, you can ask her by yourself.”
