Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Freshness Tastes Better
He really wanted to ask Ye Xinluo to dinner, but the little guy’s request was hard to refuse outright.
So, after thinking, he said, "How about uncle buys it for you in the afternoon? You can take it ho with you after work."
Jingxi shook his head decisively, "No, uncle, don’t you know that cakes taste best when they’re fresh?"
Of course, he knew, but buying it after work would an delivering it to their ho, wouldn’t it?
That would be such a waste of ti!
"But uncle still has things to do tonight, how about asking Uncle Mo Han to buy it for you?"
With no other choice, he had to drag Mo Han in as a shield.
"No." Jingxi puffed his cheeks and refused without a second thought.
The little guy knew exactly what he wanted to do tonight, and it was nothing more than asking his own dear mommy to dinner.
Hmph, with
here, don’t even think about it.
So, the little treasure looked up, pitifully at Xu Kun, "But the ones Uncle Mo Han buys don’t taste good. The cake is for eating at night, and if it doesn’t taste good, what if Jingxi gets a stomachache? Uncle is so handso, you couldn’t possibly bear to see Jingxi with a stomachache and unable to sleep, right?"
Xu Kun: "..."!!
Isn’t it just not buying a cake for him? Why so much drama?
Forget it, the al can wait; comforting the little guy is most important.
Plus, the little guy just said he was handso — on this ground alone, he couldn’t refuse...
"Then how about uncle buys it for you after work? Which cake shop do you want it from?"
"The one by Z University!" the little guy said happily.
It takes at least an hour to get from here to Z University, and then from Z University to the Beichen Family, it’s another hour or more; he just didn’t believe there’d be any ti left for asking mommy out to dinner.
His eyes darted around as he sched in his mind.
"Thank you for the trouble, uncle. I’ll be waiting for you at ho in the evening." He said, not forgetting to wink at Xu Kun.
Xu Kun got goosebumps from his antics.
Such a cute kid, yet his words had a creepy feel. Why did he feel like he fell into a trap?
Could it be he was overthinking it?
Having dealt with this problem, Jingxi pulled Xu Kun to sit on a chair, then climbed onto his lap to play gas with him.
The little guy’s sudden clinginess caught Xu Kun off guard and even made him a little anxious.
...
Ye Xinluo ca back with a glass of water and saw Xu Kun playing gas with the little guy, she walked over to them, "Jingxi, here’s the water you wanted."
The little guy handed the tablet to Xu Kun, reached out to take the water cup, and drank two sips.
With a sweet smile, he said, "Thank you, sister."
He sweetly called her sister, while internally, a whole set of ulterior motives were brewing.
What sister, that was clearly mommy. It was all his dumb uncle’s fault for not recognizing his own mommy.
"Assistant Ye, um, I have sothing to tell you. Could we reschedule dinner for another ti?" Xu Kun asked apologetically.
"Okay." Ye Xinluo nodded, she wasn’t really that interested in going. Just as she was about to find a reason to refuse, he suddenly canceled.
This was perfect, saving her the trouble.
However, in the next mont, Xu Kun spoke again, "Then we’ll go next ti."
Just as he said that, the little guy in his arms suddenly choked on his drink.
Unable to contain it, he coughed a couple of tis, his little face turning red.
Xu Kun quickly patted the little guy’s back gently, while Ye Xinluo pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth.
"What’s the matter? How could you choke on water?" Ye Xinluo frowned and said.
