Chapter 42 – “I’m Lu Ting, Tuantuan’s father” (2)
The artists from their company are all working on Hollywood productions or large domestic projects. None of their artists would even bother to participate in a reality show like this.
Xiaoke was well aware of the circle’s complexity so she didn’t dare to offend the other party and just responded politely. “You misunderstand, sir. Even though this girl is only four and a half years old, she’s smart and can read the comments on her own. She can read and understand many of the comments that pop up and the online reviews as well without needing me to read them out for her. She’s a very slick one. She ran off when I wasn’t looking and sneaked out here to eat instant noodles, really…sigh.”
She observed the tall man holding the child in front of her.
He was dressed in formal clothes while holding the girl with one hand with his other tucked into his pocket. He was eyeing her with a stern gaze that felt somewhat aggressive.
This man was well over 190 meters tall with long legs and a good body. His looks were really good too. She couldn’t rule him out as one of Li Xing’s company’s new artists with such excellent conditions as his. If he’s to be nurtured under Li Xing’s company, then he definitely would not have a bad future. He could even make it really big.
Having been in this circle for such a long time, Xiaoke never thought of herself as someone who would go head over heels over a pretty boy. But when she saw how the man held the child in front of her, she actually felt a Gary Stu explosion.
A cold man unconcerned with the mortal world is immediately grounded with the appearance of the chubby little girl, Tuantuan. Even his charm was raised quite considerably.
Tuantuan curled one arm around Lu Ting’s neck and cradled her bowl of noodles against her chest with the other.
She scratched at the back of Lu Ting’s neck with her meaty little hands and said, “Uncle, you really misunderstood Auntie Xiaoke. You’re not my papa yet, uncle. How can you scold Auntie Xiaoke like you’re my papa? That’s naughty, Qiqi and Tuantuan won’t like an uncle like that.”
Her soft touch practically went straight into the depths of Lu Ting’s heart. He sighed lightly, almost imperceptibly, and let out a soft hum of agreement before turning to look at Xiaoke. “I’m Lu Ting, Tuantuan’s father. I’ve just returned to the country recently. I’ll be taking TUantuan home. Once Lin Yueqi’s done with the recording, tell her to call this number.”
He took out a card with one hand and passed it to Xiaoke.
Xiaoke took the card and looked at it, and she finally understood what Li Xing had come for. Subconsciously, she snatched the chubby little girl back from his arms.
Lu Ting was completely unprepared, and even though Xiaoke looked thin and weak, she was pretty strong. Xiaoke’s sudden movement caused the noodles to spill out of Duanduan’s bowl. She looked down at her oil-covered self, then at the soup base that was left on the bowl, and brought it up expressionlessly, drinking it all up.
Li Xing leaned over the car window and laughed out loud as he watched the changes in the little girls’ expression. “Old Lu, you’ve got a pretty cute daughter.”
Tuantuan frowned and threw the empty noodle bowl at Lu Ting. “Baddie!” Though she was young, she was very smart. She quickly understood that this Uncle Long-legs did not appear at her doorsteps out of accident. He had come for a purpose.
She told many handsome men things like “marry my mama” and so on, and they all agreed, but they never reappeared in front of her ever again. However, not only did this man reappear, he even took away some of her hair.
