Chapter 761: Chapter 778 Past Events
Lin Xi picked up Xixi. Since the last time he brought her home, it had been several days since they last met.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to see the mother and daughter, but too many things had happened recently, and he was simply too busy to handle everything.
However, deep down, he still felt a bit guilty!
Now that Xi Xiaoyi was in trouble, he didn’t realize it at first. Instead, Xi Xiaoyi had to call him.
If one day they encounter something dangerous, the mother and daughter might not even have time to make a phone call?
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Xi thought to himself that he now had quite a few women, many of whom lacked self-defense capability, and he should take some protective measures!
Otherwise, when things happen, it would be too late to regret.
"Uncle also misses you!" Lin Xi said sincerely as he looked at the adorably cute Xixi in his arms and asked, "What delicious food did Xixi have tonight?"
After chatting for a while, Xixi felt very safe and fell asleep in Lin Xi’s arms.
It seemed she was really tired today.
Only then did Lin Xi turn to Xi Xiaoyi beside them and ask, "Sister Xi, what happened? Why are you here and not at home?"
Upon hearing Lin Xi’s question, a hint of anger appeared on Xi Xiaoyi’s face, "There’s a bastard at my doorstep. I didn’t dare to go with Xixi, worried that she might get hurt!"
"But leaving Xixi here alone makes me uneasy too!"
"Even though the security guard is a good guy!"
Lin Xi glanced at the security guard at the gate and nodded to him as a gesture of thanks.
However it may be, Xi Xiaoyi felt assured enough to stay here with her daughter, indicating her trust in the guard.
After all, for such a charming woman like her—a young and attractive one—she is an immense temptation for men.
But ever since Lin Xi arrived, he noticed that the security guard had no such thoughts.
"So, do you want me to watch Xixi while you go and handle it?" Lin Xi asked, deducing this from Xi Xiaoyi’s words.
Xi Xiaoyi nodded, "I’m the only one who can handle this, and an outsider can’t really do anything!"
After saying this, her eyes glared at Lin Xi, exuding a complete aura of a strong woman, but he also saw an undeniable trace of fear and panic on her face.
Lin Xi asked, "Do you not need me to go with you?"
Xi Xiaoyi shook her head, indicating no need.
It was unclear whether she didn’t want Xixi to see or there was another reason she didn’t want Lin Xi to see.
In the next moment, Xi Xiaoyi, somewhat in a hurry, walked into the residential complex.
Lin Xi held Xixi and stood at the entrance of the complex.
When Xi Xiaoyi’s figure was completely out of sight, Lin Xi said nothing, not lingering a moment longer, and also headed into the complex.
Although he believed Xi Xiaoyi could handle tonight’s incident, he saw that slight uncertainty in her expression.
Therefore, Lin Xi naturally did not feel at ease letting her return alone.
After all, she just mentioned there was a bastard at the door; what if he did something?
As for why Lin Xi didn’t say he would go back with her, it was because he could see from her eyes that she didn’t want him to see that person, and she certainly didn’t want to disturb Xixi.
In no time, Lin Xi spotted Xi Xiaoyi about ten meters away, walking towards her building.
Although they were only ten meters apart, Lin Xi was so good at following people that even if it was just one meter, the person being followed wouldn’t notice.
Xi Xiaoyi pressed the elevator button, and the doors opened immediately, indicating it was already on the first floor.
She didn’t realize that as soon as she entered and the doors closed, Lin Xi also entered the building.
However, Lin Xi didn’t take the elevator. Instead, he held Xixi and climbed the stairs at nearly the same speed as the elevator was rising.
"Ding!" The elevator doors opened, and Xi Xiaoyi stepped out.
As soon as she exited, she saw a young man smoking in front of her door.
The young man stood up as he saw Xi Xiaoyi step out of the elevator.
He was about six feet tall, wearing casual clothes, and was quite handsome, the kind with a hint of delinquency.
This kind of guy would be considered the non-compliant type in school, but not too excessive in his actions.
For many girls, however, he was extremely attractive.
Although he looked neat and tidy, a closer look in his eyes revealed hints of decadence or some kind of unsatisfaction.
"Xiaoyi, you’re back!" He looked at Xi Xiaoyi, a flicker of amazement in his eyes, swallowing a bit audibly.
Cursing inwardly, he wondered why he abandoned her after just one encounter in college.
Thinking carefully, he recalled meeting a wealthier girl, now his wife, who pursued him, although not as pretty as Xi Xiaoyi, she wasn’t bad looking either.
Of course, the most important thing was her wealth!
Xi Xiaoyi ignored his words and asked coldly, "How did you know I live here?"
"Why are you here?"
This man, Shui Qianze, was her boyfriend from college but had unhesitatingly dumped her after they slept together once!
At that time, she wondered if she had done something wrong?
Later, she learned from classmates that it was because he was with another woman.
More importantly, he was attracted to that woman’s wealth, especially since her family owned a big company.
From then on, she never cared about Shui Qianze’s affairs, completely treating him as nonexistent.
Seeing Xi Xiaoyi’s indifferent expression and hearing her question, Shui Qianze was quite displeased. However, he suppressed his emotions and spoke sincerely,
"Because I love you, no matter where you are, I can find you."
"I’m here because I think we should be together again!"
"Xiaoyi, you still love me, right?"
Xi Xiaoyi sneered, "I’m sorry, but there’s no way for us to be together, and ever since that thing in college, I’ve never had you in my heart again!"
"Back then, I didn’t have it, and there’s even less chance now!"
Shui Qianze chuckled, "Xiaoyi, don’t lie to me!"
"If you didn’t love me, why would you raise my child for five years?"
"If you didn’t love me, you wouldn’t have given birth to Xixi!"
As he said this, a flash of pride appeared on his face as he walked towards Xi Xiaoyi, who was a meter away, reaching out to embrace her.
Xi Xiaoyi immediately retreated, warning coldly, "Shui Qianze, I suggest you don’t make a move you’ll regret for life!"
"And let me make it clear once again, I don’t love you at all!"
"As for giving birth to Xixi and raising her, it has nothing to do with you because Xixi is mine alone; she’s my biological child!"
Shui Qianze withdrew his hands, his face turning dark, "Xi Xiaoyi, no matter what you say, Xixi is my biological child!"
"So, no matter what you say, that will not change!"
"And one more thing, I only lied about wanting us back together!"
"My real purpose for being here today is that Xixi should be with me, not suffer here with you!"
Meanwhile, at the stairway entrance, Lin Xi leaned against the wall holding Xixi, listening to their argument without stepping out.
Xixi slept blissfully, seemingly oblivious to the quarrel inside.
If one looked closely, they’d notice that Xixi’s ears were stuffed with cotton balls.
