Chapter 53: I Am Going to Take Her As My Daughter-In-Law! (1)

At 3 o’clock in the afternoon, a long queue gradually formed at the entrance of the kindergarten.

In his car, Yi Yang looked at the watch on his wrist and waited for the kindergarten door to open. He saw a great number of parents going inside, but he didn’t rush.

Compared to those parents who couldn’t wait to pick up their children happily, Yi Yang’s face wasn’t so good-looking.

Yi Qian had always been obedient in kindergarten. The teacher had never called him to complain about his behavior, not to mention inviting the parents.

He went all the way to the teacher’s office with a cold face.

“Hello, who are you looking for?”

“I am Yi Qian’s father.”

“Mr. Yi, please, over here.”

Yi Yang was invited to a separate lounge.

“Hello, Mr. Yi. I am Yi Qian’s headteacher. My name is Zhao, and I just called you in the afternoon.”

“I remember that.”

Teacher Zhao pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile, “It’s like this. I have already explained to you on the phone about Yi Qian’s fight with other children. I called you today to resolve this matter. After all, both children have bruises.”

“Where is Yi Qian?”

Yi Qian had always been a good student. Hence, Teacher Zhao didn’t deal with Yi Yang much and couldn’t figure out his temperament. Seeing Yi Yang’s face was cold from entering the door until now, he wondered if he would do anything to Yi Qian later.

“Please wait a minute. I have asked other teachers to bring him here. But anyway, the child is still young. I suggest you, please talk nicely when you see him later. He has always been sensible and obedient. It was an act of impulse.”

Yi Yang nodded. “I understand.”

Just as Yi Yang and Teacher Zhao walked away, a young man in a suit appeared in the office.

“You are…”

“I am Zhouzhou’s father.”

“Hello. Please, over here.”

The man followed Teacher Zhao to the lounge.

“How do I address you?”

“My name is Lu, Lu Lixing.”

Teacher Chen said as he walked, “Hello, Mr. Lu, I am Zhouzhou’s headteacher, and my surname is Chen. First of all, I would like to apologize to you. I didn’t pay attention to the fight between Zhouzhou and the other children and didn’t have the time to separate both of them. Zhouzhou suffered some injuries on his face, but there is no need to worry. The doctor has checked him; it’s just a skin wound.”

“I see.”

Teacher Chen glanced at him and saw that his expression was cold. He didn’t seem to care about it, so he added, “This incident is not Zhouzhou’s fault. The other kid took the initiative to beat him.”

“You have said it on the phone. I understand.”

Teacher Chen smiled.

When he stepped into the lounge, Mr. Chen introduced him to the people sitting there. “Mr. Yi, let me make the introductions. This is Zhouzhou’s father, Lu Lixing, Mr. Lu.”

Yi Yang stood up and reached out to shake hands with Mr. Lu.

“Hello, Mr. Yi.”

“Mr. Lu, long time no see.”

People at their level, even if they didn’t cooperate, always met at a certain reception or an event.

The two had similarly met a while ago.

“So the two of you know each other. Then, this matter is much easier to handle.”

They all sat down. In kindergarten, they didn’t talk about things in the business world. Instead, they were more concerned about their sons fighting.

“I heard from Teacher Zhao about this matter. Yi Qian raised his hand first, so it was his fault. I will give you a satisfactory explanation later.”

“Children are ignorant, and it is normal to have friction. It’s just a fight. There’s no need to explain.”

Even though he said that, when the teacher came in with the two children, the two fathers frowned.

Zhouzhou’s face was blue and purple, and the corners of his mouth were torn. The wounds on his face looked scary.

Yi Qian’s face didn’t look good either. However, when compared to Zhouzhou, his injuries were a lot lighter.

After all, he was the one who smashed Zhouzhou to the ground.

Teacher Zhao looked at the two fathers and said hurriedly, “Please don’t worry. The doctor gave them a thorough checkup. There’s nothing serious. These are just skin wounds, really.”

Lu Lixing looked at Zhouzhou, and his eyebrows frowned tightly. “Lu Xingchen, why is your face hurt like this?”

Zhouzhou was just his nickname. His name was Lu Xingchen.

Hearing Lu Lixing’s words, Zhouzhou tilted his head to look at Yi Qian and sniffed. “I couldn’t beat him. He threw me to the ground.”

Yi Yang frowned. He looked at Yi Qian and stretched out his hand to touch his cheekbone injury. “What’s the matter with you? The teacher said that you took the initiative to beat him? Why? Are you learning Taekwondo just to bully other children?”

Lu Lixing looked sideways. “Taekwondo?”

Zhouzhou bitterly said, “Daddy, I want to learn Taekwondo too.”

“…Learn!”

Yi Yang was also embarrassed. His son was one year older than the other kid. Moreover, he was learning Taekwondo and actively bullying others.

“Yi Qian, say something!”

Yi Qian lowered his head. “I just don’t like seeing him play with Xiaoxiao.”

Lu Lixing was puzzled. “Xiaoxiao?”

Teacher Zhao explained, “Xiaoxiao was Zhouzhou’s classmate in the past. Later, she jumped and was transferred to Yi Qian’s class. Both Zhouzhou and Yi Qian like to play with her.”

When Yi Qian mentioned Huo Xiaoxiao, Zhouzhou became angry. “I just want to play with Xiaoxiao. Why won’t you let me play with her! Xiaoxiao always played with me. I gave her a chocolate gift, too. It’s all because of you! Not only did you not let her play with me, but you also didn’t let me give her chocolate!”

Yi Qian was similarly blowing his top. “You are not allowed to play with her! Play with your own classmates. You and Xiaoxiao are not in the same class. Why should you play with her!”

The two of them were at war. Their eyes were so red that it seemed like they would bite each other in the next second.

Zhouzhou shouted, “I like her. She is mine!”

Yi Qian was not shy, either. “She is not yours! She doesn’t like a kid like you at all! She is mine! I will marry her as my wife!”

“Mine! My wife!”

“Mine! My wife!”

The two children were flushed red. Their words about marrying Huo Xiaoxiao seemed to go back and forth.

The voices in the lounge were louder than ever. Yi Yang and Xingchen’s expressions changed again and again.

Yi Yang couldn’t bear it any longer. He shouted, “Enough! Shut up! Don’t say anything! Who taught you this when you are so young?”

Huo Suicheng, who happened to be outside the lounge door: “…”

The teacher who led him over said with a fake smile, “Mr. Huo…”

Huo Suicheng raised his hand, opened the door, and walked in.

The two children stared at each other. Neither of them was convinced.

Teacher Zhao stood up and smiled. “Mr. Huo, why are you here?”

Huo Suicheng glanced at the two children. “I wanted to take a look at the person who insists that he will marry my daughter.”

Yi Yang sighed and played an emotional card. “Suicheng, the child is not sensible. Don’t worry about what he says.”

The teacher also tried to clear up the atmosphere. “Yes, Mr. Huo, children are insensible. Please rest assured, and don’t take their words seriously.”

Yi Qian raised his head and hurriedly explained, “I am not a three-year-old anymore! I am sensible, and I am older than him. I am more sensible than him. I’m not talking nonsense. From now on… I will marry Huo Xiaoxiao!”

Zhouzhou was anxious when he heard it. “I didn’t lie either! I like Xiaoxiao, I will… I will bring her chocolates every day!”

“Lu Xingchen! Shut up. Don’t say anything!”

“Daddy, if I don’t speak, Xiaoxiao is going to be snatched away by Yi Qian!”

Lu Lixing gestured at his son to stop with his eyes. He then got up and stretched out his hand towards Huo Suicheng. “Mr. Huo, I have been looking forward to meeting you for a long time.”

Huo Suicheng gave Zhouzhou a cold look before shaking hands with Lu Lixing hastily. “I should be the one saying this, Mr. Lu. I have been looking forward to meeting you for a long time.”

The few of them were not strangers, so they sat down and chatted slowly.

“Although my daughter was not involved in the fight, this incident happened because of my daughter, after all, so I came to take a look.” Huo Suicheng looked at the two children. His expression was not very good since he came in. “You are more courageous than I thought. You were shouting out loud to marry my daughter at such a young age?”

“I…” Yi Qian just started, but he was interrupted by Yi Yang, “Yi Qian, you were in the wrong. Apologize to Lu Xingchen.”

They were all a few arrogant children. How could they admit their mistakes to their opponents after hitting them?

“I don’t want to!”

“Yi Qian, you did something wrong when you hit someone first. Why won’t you apologize?”

Yi Qian looked at Zhouzhou angrily. “Who asked him to always pester Huo Xiaoxiao? If he doesn’t play with Huo Xiaoxiao, I won’t beat him. I can apologize, as long as… as long as he says, I will not pester Huo Xiaoxiao in the future. Then I will apologize to him!”

Zhouzhou stomped his feet in anger. “I don’t want your apology! I want to marry Huo Xiaoxiao!”

Huo Suicheng gritted his teeth and looked at the two children, who were still arguing, with a gloomy expression.

“Yi Qian! Don’t talk nonsense. Apologize!”

“I don’t want to!”

“If you don’t apologize, you will be a bad kid. Xiaoxiao won’t like a bad kid like you.”

After attacking the problem at its core, Yi Yang strangled Yi Qian’s lifeline.

Yi Qian remembered what Huo Xiaoxiao had said to him today. He squeezed his fists, the word “unconvinced” written on his face. He took a few deep breaths, bowed his head with humiliation, gritted his teeth, and said, “I am sorry! It was my fault for beating you today. Please forgive me!”

Zhouzhou didn’t care about Yi Qian beating himself, nor his apology, “I can accept your apology, but in the future, I will play with Xiaoxiao. You can’t… you can’t beat me anymore. I will also learn Taekwondo. If you beat me, I will beat you!”

Lu Lixing hit Zhouzhou’s head. “Lu Xingchen!”

Seeing Yi Qian apologize, the teacher stood up at the right time. “Since Yi Qian knows that he was wrong, then this matter is satisfactorily resolved. What does Mr. Lu think?”

Lu Lixing looked at Yi Yang, “Mr. Yi, didn’t you just say that you would give me a satisfactory explanation?”

Yi Yang looked at Lu Lixing and was silent for a moment. “It is normal for a child to be ignorant and stumbling. It’s just a fight. If you apologize, there’s no need for explanation anymore, right?”

The two teachers laughed awkwardly and didn’t say anything.

…When they first came, these two didn’t seem to say that.

The two fathers stared at each other, the sparks igniting in an instant. They looked away slowly after a long while.

“Forget it.” Lu Lixing pulled Zhouzhou to his front and touched the bruise on his cheek. “Does it hurt?”

Zhouzhou shook his head. “It doesn’t hurt!”

“Let’s go home then.”

Zhouzhou nodded. He looked at Yi Qian and declared his sovereignty viciously, “Yi Qian, I will play with Xiaoxiao in the future. And listen carefully, I will marry her!”

Huo Suicheng raised his eyes. “You want to marry her, but does she agree?”

No one would step down in front of a love rival.

“Xiaoxiao… Xiaoxiao likes me. After eating a lot of chocolates that I brought her, she will definitely agree!”

“Nonsense. Xiaoxiao clearly likes me. She sits next to me, and I slept with her in the same bed. We already slept together, you know! Have you ever slept together!”

“You… you…” Zhouzhou couldn’t refute what Yi Qian said. He didn’t know what to say even after half a day. He was so angry that he shook his father’s arms. “Daddy, Daddy! I want to marry Xiaoxiao!”

Yi Qian was not to be outdone. He held Yi Yang’s hand. “Daddy, I also want to marry Huo Xiaoxiao!”

Two pairs of eyes looked at Huo Suicheng.

There was no trace of a smile on Huo Suicheng’s face.

Talking loudly in front of him?

These two kids thinking about puppy love were just dreaming in broad daylight.
