Chapter 43 – “I’m Lu Ting, Tuantuan’s father” (3)
What did that mean? That meant that this person was actually her dad who wanted to take away a lock of her hair as a memento because of his guilt.
Lu Ting, “??”
Tuantuan humphed at the man and turned to Xiaoke, saying, “Auntie Xiaoke, let’s go back. He’s a baddie, let’s ignore him.”
They all say that women turn their faces as fast as you could turn a book, but this little girl turns as fast as lightning can strike. Puzzled, Lu Ting said, “I’m your father, Tuantuan. I met your mother in college.”
Tuantuan pointed her short meaty finger at him and shouted in her sweet voice, “My name is Lin Tuantuan! I came out of a rock! I have no papa. You must be mistaken, long-leg baddie!”
Xiaoke held the child tight, worried that the man would snatch the child away. He immediately said to Li Xing, “Mr. Li, the child is getting sleepy. I’ll be bringing her back.”
Then, she immediately ran off with the child.
When Xiaoke carried Tuantuan back to the car, Li Xing looked at Lu Ting and was nearly out of breath from laughing. “Your daughter turned on you real fast! She probably told a lot of men about becoming her daddy, and you’re just one of them. So, when she found out that you’re her actual father, she immediately turned on you.”
Lu Ting took out his handkerchief and wiped off the oil stains on his chest, saying under his breath, “She’s still young, it’s normal that she won’t be able to accept it that quickly.”
“I gotta say, you’re stiff when it comes to chasing women and you’re abrupt when it comes to breaking the news to your kid too. If I were that little girl, I would’ve hit you with that bowl of noodles too.”
Lu Ting got in the car silently. Lu Xing turned to ask, “So what are you planning to do next? It doesn’t look like that chubby little girl wants to accept you.”
Lu Ting did not respond. Instead, he asked, “Does your company need new artists?”
“Shit, have you been waiting for this? I’ll tell you now, my company has very high requirements for our artists. We don’t take people like Qin Xue with the looks but no skill, let alone Lin Yueqi. Besides, won’t I ruin the company image if I take her in?”
Lu Ting eyed him from the side, saying, “Are you saying that the mother of my child is not qualified to join your company?”
Li Xing, “Ahem…Of course not, I wouldn’t dare. I’d have to get it done no matter whatt since you’ve already asked, right? So how about this. I’m going to call her tomorrow and see if she’s willing to sign under my company. Then, after she joins us, I hope you’ll be able to reveal her and Tuantuan’s identity publicly as soon as possible so you can stop the talking. I don’t want the artists in my company getting smeared online one after the other.”
“Of course.”
Li Xing looked at him again and saw that his gaze was still on the van in front of them. He asked, “So, what’re you going to do now? Leave with me? Or do you want to keep waiting?”
“You go, and leave the car here.”
Li Xing, “………”
Li Xing made a call to his assistant and a car quickly came to pick him up in just a moment. He also brought a new set of clothes over. He passed the clothes to Lu Ting and pointed his chin at the oil stains at his chest, saying, “You should get changed, and make sure you sweeten your tongue a bit when you see her mother tomorrow. Don’t act like a boring old man.”
“Yeah.”
The author has something to say:
Daddy Tuan: Since recognizing my daughter was unsuccessful today, I’ll go and recognize my wife tomorrow. Once she sees me, her “old flame” will definitely rekindle. Yeah.
