Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 359: Chapter 378: How About Coming to My House for Dinner? (Update 8)

"Are you my dad?"

Lin Xi was taken aback upon hearing this sentence, feeling a bit conflicted inside and unsure of how to reply.

Just earlier in the car, Xi Xiaoyi had told him about past events; when she was young and lively, she fell for a jerk who deceived her feelings and abandoned her after one night.

Unexpectedly, that night led to the birth of Xixi.

By the time Xi Xiaoyi realized something was wrong, it was too late to turn back, and she ended up having the baby because it was her flesh and blood, and she couldn’t bear to part with it.

Since then, she raised the child alone, never having pursued another romance or grown close to any other man.

Whenever Xixi asked about her father, she explained that he had gone far away to fight monsters and wouldn’t be back for a very long time.

Therefore, for Lin Xi, especially when looking at Xixi’s innocent face asking him, he hesitated to say no. If he did, wouldn’t Xixi be terribly disappointed after waiting for so long? But if he said yes, setting aside whether Xi Xiaoyi agreed, once the truth was revealed, wouldn’t she be even more hurt?

Lin Xi felt a pang of reluctance; this was a sensation he’d never experienced before.

After snapping out of her daze, Xi Xiaoyi finally reacted and awkwardly replied, "Baby, this is Uncle Lin, he’s a colleague of mommy’s."

"Did mommy tell you? Daddy went very far away to battle monsters and won’t be back right away."

"Oh." Xixi nodded in disappointment, looking dejected, and said to Lin Xi, "Hi, Uncle Lin."

"Hello, Xixi." Lin Xi responded.

At this moment, Xi Xiaoyi glanced at Lin Xi, a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

After the three of them got into the car, Lin Xi continued sitting in the front passenger seat while Xixi sat in the back. As she drove, Xi Xiaoyi said to Xixi, "Baby, are you tired? Do you want to nap? We’ll drop Uncle Lin off at home first, then go back."

"It should take about an hour."

"Mommy, I’m not sleepy, not at all." Xixi’s sweet and slightly childish voice could instantly melt anyone’s heart, "Our teacher made us nap for a long time at noon."

"Well, there are some snacks in the back; do you want something to eat?" Xi Xiaoyi asked again.

"Mommy, I’m not hungry either!" In fact, Xixi’s mind was elsewhere, and Lin Xi could sense her occasionally glancing at him. Unable to help himself, he asked, "Xixi, is there something you want to say to uncle?"

Sitting in the back, Xixi seemed somewhat nervous upon hearing Lin Xi’s words, clutching her dress with a visibly conflicted expression.

Lin Xi almost couldn’t help but laugh at the sight, "You can tell uncle anything; there’s nothing in this world uncle can’t handle!"

"Really?" Xixi showed a surprised expression.

Busy driving, Xi Xiaoyi didn’t pay attention to the two, especially during the rush hour when the roads were busy.

"Really." Lin Xi nodded seriously.

After thinking it over, Xixi’s eyes sparkled, and she finally made a decision, "Uncle Lin Xi, can you not go home yet? Can you come to my house for dinner first, okay?"

At this moment, Xi Xiaoyi, who had been focused on driving, suddenly felt it might not be ideal to just drop Lin Xi off.

After all, if Lin Xi hadn’t been there today, the consequences could have been unimaginable.

"Uncle Lin, why not listen to Xixi and come to my house for dinner tonight?" Xi Xiaoyi asked, "Besides, you’ve just returned to the country, probably haven’t had homemade food in a while!"

In truth, Lin Xi had no plans that evening, and as for those more than eighty million, since it was confirmed to be Bai Bing’s doing and she’s fine, he wasn’t in such a hurry anymore, especially since Bai Bing would certainly tell him when he got home.

"Okay." So Lin Xi replied.

A smile appeared on Xi Xiaoyi’s face, and neither she nor Lin Xi noticed the sly look that flashed across Xixi’s face at that moment.
