Chapter 1558

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Shi Xi, who was still in the lounge, was restless.

It was too quiet.

A staff member knocked on the door and asked Hua Wenyin to deal with a problem.

Hua Wenyin: “Please take a seat. I’ll be back in a while.”

Shi Xi: “Alright.”

Tao Boli “I’ll wait for you here.”

Shi Xi: ?

After Hua Wenyin left, Shi Xi stared at Tao Boli.

Tao Boli noticed her gaze. “What’s wrong?”

“You…” Shi Xi chose her words carefully. “Do you want to be my stepfather?”

She didn’t think of any euphemistic words.

“Why do you say that?” Tao Boli asked nervously.

“Ever since you came in, your eyes haven’t left my mother.” Shi Xi was breaking an orange, her eyes alert.

“Is it that obvious?” Tao Boli pondered.

It seemed that he had not shifted his gaze away from Hua Wenyin ever since he saw her.

“You two have known each other for a long time. Could it be…” Shi Xi thought of a possibility.

Tao Boli’s heart skipped a beat.

He did not tell Shi Xi.

Shi Xi had guessed this herself!

“Could it be that you were secretly in love with my mother back then?” Shi Xi guessed. “You were too sad after she got married, so you left your hometown and went abroad to study? Now that you see her alone, you want to pursue her again?”

Tao Boli: “…”

Other than a little mistake in the middle, everything else matched.

“Do you think I’m not good enough for her?” Tao Boli asked, ignoring Shi Xi’s guess.

Shi Xi leaned against the sofa and ate an orange. “I don’t agree, I don’t oppose, I’ll remain neutral.”

Tao Boli: …This unlucky child!

However, thinking about how this was his biological daughter, he could only accept it.

When Hua Wenyin returned, she even brought Shi Xi some coffee. “I’ll be here in a few more minutes. Be good, I’ll take you out for a feast later.”

Shi Xi nodded obediently. “Alright- ”

Hua Wenyin even patted Shi Xi’s head, took the design, and left.

She didn’t even look at Tao Boli.

She did not bring him a cup of coffee.

Shi Xi handed the coffee over. “You drink it. I’m not drinking it.”

“No need, I’ll just eat oranges.” Tao Boli was in low spirits.

It was so hard to chase your wife.

Not even a cup of coffee.

“You have to move her with sincerity,” Shi Xi suggested.

Tao Boli sighed.

Shi Xi had even messed up her own love, so she could not bring up any constructive meaning to others. She could only drink her coffee silently.

After sitting for a while.

“Xi Xi, how do you think I treat you?” Tao Boli suddenly asked.

Shi Xi: ?

He was courteous without a reason.

“What do you want me to do?” Shi Xi hugged the coffee and became alert.

“Let’s go eat together later. Can you go back first after eating? I’ll send her home.” Tao Boli only wanted a moment of alone time.

“This is nothing. But…” Shi Xi was conflicted. “What if, and I mean what if, my mother doesn’t invite you to dinner?”

Tao Boli: …This possibility was too high.

He didn’t even get a share of the coffee when Hua Wenyin came in.

Not to mention eating!

“If I follow you, she won’t chase me away, right?” Tao Boli thought about that scene.

Shi Xi; “Maybe.”

Tao Boli: “My treat!”

Hua Wenyin came in from outside and heard that Tao Boli wanted to treat her. She smiled and said, “Since you said you want to treat, then let’s go.”

Tao Boli happily put down the orange.

Shi Xi was stunned for a moment.

What was going on?

She was going to have a stepfather?

No, hey!

Wait for me!
