Chapter 151: Pretty lady, you knocked me over and hurt me

~7 min read 1,219 words

The three siblings thought about it and were all afraid.

Xiao Ming knew the two girls were just pretending to be angry, but he still couldn't stand his daughter's puffed‑up face.

There's nothing he can do—who made him a slave to his daughter!

Xiao Ming obediently nodded: "Okay, I got it—I'll just not drink from now on."

Xiao Ming usually doesn't drink much, but he's been so happy during this time in Yun Cheng.

"That's about right." Xiao Yuchun's expression finally looked a bit better.

At that moment, Xiao Jingrou stood up and stretched her limbs, and Xiao Ming then remembered that over the past few months she had noticed their little daughter's waist and cervical spine weren't in good shape.

From Yun Cheng to An Jin, taking the high‑speed rail takes quite a while; even though they bought first‑class seats, the long journey is still tiring.

"Dad, drink some sour plum tea; it'll make you feel better." Xiao Yuchun thoughtfully handed him a bottle of sour plum tea.

Seeing that, Xiao Ming's heart warmed to the utmost.

"Mm‑hm!" Xiao Ming took it and drank a few sips; it really made him feel much better.

So he simply picked up the bottle and started gulping it down.

One bottle of sour plum tea was finished in no time; still wanting more, he tipped the bottle to drain the last drop into his mouth, shook the bottle, saw that it was truly empty, and finally reluctantly set it down.

At that moment, he saw several children, including his daughter‑in‑law Geng Jing Shu, all staring at him with looks of great surprise.

"Dad, you……" Xiao Yuchun's eyes widened in shock, as if she had discovered a new continent.

"Dad, you actually, you actually still do this?" Xiao Yuchun laughed as she glanced at the bottle in Xiao Ming's hand, then at him.

"Uh……" Xiao Ming was stunned by Xiao Yuchun's laugh.

After a while, Xiao Ming smiled helplessly and said, "What's wrong? Why can't I do that?"

"Dad, you…… you're just too cute!"

Xiao Yuchun wanted to say that Xiao Ming was a huge internet celebrity known across the net, and a tycoon with countless assets, yet he had such an adorable side.

Thinking that this was a public place and might cause unnecessary trouble, Xiao Yuchun held back and didn't say it out loud.

Xiao Yunzhe also laughed and said, "Dad, if we filmed this cute side of yours and posted it online, it would surely go viral again."

As soon as Xiao Yunzhe said that, a vivid image immediately formed in his mind.

"The title would be: 'The Wuxingguo tycoon who's famous all over the net, caught drinking the last drop of a beverage!'"

After he said that, the other children also burst out laughing.

Xiao Ming gave an embarrassed laugh: "Enough already—don't you see how many people are around here?"

He cares about his image, too—he doesn't want to be stared at on the high‑speed rail.

When they boarded, they had deliberately dressed up; if they kept making a fuss, someone might recognize him, and that would be troublesome.

Indeed, fame really brings no benefits at all—what a pity, his low‑key days are gone for good.

At that moment, an extremely good‑looking woman walked past him.

Xiao Ming felt a bit helpless, but fortunately the woman just glanced at him and then walked away.

A false alarm!

Afterwards, Xiao Ming tried to sit down and rest properly, but even though they were in first class, it was still too noisy for him to rest at all.

He had no choice but to say helplessly, "Jingrou, Yuchun, when you get home, remember to remind your dad—let's buy a plane so going out will be more convenient."

If it's our own plane, many things become much easier; we can set it up ourselves, making it more convenient to take Geng Jing Shu out.

"Uh!"

Xiao Yuchun and Xiao Jingrou were instantly stunned.

Dad's getting extravagant again—buying a plane at the drop of a hat……

Then, a woman walked past Xiao Ming; perhaps because his words were too shocking, she paused and fell straight onto him.

Fortunately, Xiao Ming was quick‑handed and quick‑eyed and caught her.

Xiao Ming noticed that this woman was the pretty one who had just walked past him; earlier he had only glanced at her, but now taking a closer look, she really was extraordinarily beautiful.

Xiao Ming resignedly said, "Pretty lady, you knocked me over and hurt me."

The woman panicked, got up from his body, and apologized, "Sorry sorry, I'll help you gently."

The woman reached out her hand, then froze in place, not knowing where to put it, her face flushing red like a ripe peach.

"It's fine, it's fine, you may go." Xiao Ming waved his hand.

The woman then bowed to Xiao Ming again and left, but she kept looking back at him with each step.

Xiao Ming was slightly dazed, wondering what was going on.

Did that woman recognize him? Or was she captivated by his handsome appearance and demeanor?

In fact, that woman did not recognize him at all.

Moreover, she didn't even know that Xiao Ming, this big internet celebrity, existed.

The woman's name was Zuo Qianqian; she had lived abroad with her parents all along, and at this time she had just returned to China. Because it was the New Year travel rush, she hadn't managed to get a plane ticket to An Jin, so she could only take the high‑speed rail, never expecting to run into this interesting family.

That man looked fairly young, but who would have thought his kids were already so big, with two beautiful daughters surrounding him.

Moreover, his son was already married?

This is practically the epitome of a life winner.

What's more fatal is that this man is just too handsome.

Zuo Qianqian, having lived abroad for years, had seen plenty of good‑looking men, but she had truly never seen a man this handsome.

And he even had such an adorable side.

Zuo Qianqian's steps were extremely slow; her gaze kept involuntarily drifting toward that man.

He was really too handsome, yet also too good at putting on an act.

Saying he wanted to buy a plane when he got back?

Do they think they're so rich that buying a plane is just that casual?

So pretentious, what a waste of such a good appearance!

Zuo Qianqian sighed regretfully; such a handsome man—if he weren't so pretentious, he'd be perfect.

The woman walked not far, then arrived at her position; that woman, her gaze just swept over Xiao Ming without really understanding.

Xiao Ming could initially ignore it, but gradually he could hardly bear it any longer.

Staring at him with such intense gaze, what exactly are they trying to cause?

The feeling of being constantly stared at is really unpleasant.

"Miss, what are you staring at me for?" Xiao Ming asked directly, getting straight to the point.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jingrou and Xiao Yuchun saw Xiao Ming suddenly speak, both looked at him puzzled, then followed his gaze over.

Zuo Qianqian hastily turned her head back, embarrassed.

Thinking of what she had just done, seeing that man and his family all gazing at her in unison, she suddenly blushed completely.
