Chapter 565: Pretty Little Darling

Xiao Luo had actually sent Su Li a message as soon as he stepped foot in Xiahai, telling her that he had returned. Not surprisingly, all he got back in response was a single “ok,” so he did not bring Zhang Dashan to meet Su Li when he returned to Crescent Bay. Instead, he returned right to his own apartment.

“Jesus Christ! A crystal chandelier, European-style furniture, gold color as your central theme, and a Mediterranean vibe permeate this apartment. Lao Xiao, this is essentially fit for a king.”

Zhang Dashan had been thoroughly shocked by the luxury of this apartment, but he immediately changed the topic. “Where’s G.o.ddess Su? I can’t wait to meet such a superstar–just thinking about it is already getting me excited!”

Xiao Luo rolled his eyes at him. “Get yourself together. You’re reeking of sweat, hurry and take a shower. The bathroom is over there; I’ll bring you a fresh set of clothes.”

“Do you have clean underwear? Give me a dozen or so if you do,” Zhang Dashan said.

Xiao Luo’s expression soured. What he really wanted to give the man was a good punch in his face.

Zhang Dashan could feel that something was not quite right. He hurriedly changed his tune, “If not, I’m good with a pair of boxer briefs, too. You can’t expect me to go commando after the shower, right? I’d make a fool of myself if little me acts up, and I don’t have any underwear holding it down.”

“I’ll go look for some!” Xiao Luo said impatiently. At this moment, he genuinely felt that he had gotten involved with the wrong crowd in his college days. There was simply no end to how cra.s.s this man was.

…

…

Just as Zhang Dashan was whistling and entertaining himself in the bathroom as he showered, the doorbell rang.

Xiao Luo knew that it was definitely not Su Li, as she would just let herself in without ringing the bell. He opened the door and saw Su Xiaobei and Su Canye standing outside. The girl was like a jade carving with a pair of glimmering eyes on her rosy face, her little braids tied up in curls. She was dolled up in a pretty white dress, making her look every bit as adorable as a princess in a fairy tale.

“Daddy, huggie! I want a huggie!”

The little girl had gone too long without seeing Xiao Luo, and she promptly stretched her arms out toward Xiao Luo for a hug.

Xiao Luo had missed her quite a bit too, and so he bent down to lift her up.

“Bei Bei missed you so much, Daddy,” Su Xiaobei said in her sweet voice with her lips pouted after she pecked Xiao Luo on his forehead. She nuzzled in his arms as she let Xiao Luo hug her.

Xiao Luo pinched her little face. “I missed you a lot too,” he said, as he carried her over to the living room, “Daddy brought some toys for you, see if you like them.”

He gently sat her on the stool and took out a box from his suitcase, opening it to reveal a toy electric piano.

“Wow, give me the toy, Daddy. I want the toy, Daddy!”

Su Xiaobei was at an age where she loved all sorts of toys, and seeing the electric piano naturally made her very excited.

Xiao Luo smiled gently. He had wanted to teach her how to play, and he did not expect Su Xiaobei to reach out with her tiny little hands the moment the toy piano was placed in front of her. She pressed down on every one of the keys. Each of the keys created a different note, and the little girl was extremely entertained.

“Xiao Luo, I heard from Su Li you went traveling to the Maldives?” Su Canye asked.

He had blond hair on her head, studs in his ears, pale skin, and black eyeliner around his eyes. He was wearing his iconic black leather jacket. It was typical of Su Canye to be decked out in such a hipster outfit.

“Yeah,” Xiao Luo replied.

“D*mn, why didn’t you bring me along with you? I heard the view there’s to die for, especially the sea. They say it’s heaven on earth, and I’ve wanted to go there for some time now. I can’t believe you’d sneak out there on your own. Where’s your sense of loyalty?” Su Canye said, stewing in his own gloominess.

“Just go there with your wife after you get married. Why do you need me to bring you there?” Xiao Luo said.

“Get married?”

Su Canye furrowed his eyebrows, then with a wave of his hand, he said, “I wouldn’t want to get married so soon. My youth cannot be wasted on a single woman, and I won’t be thinking about marriage before turning 30. Isn’t that right, little princess?”

Su Canye posed the question at Su Xiaobei, but she was too immersed in the joy of playing with the electric piano and did not even respond to his question.

Suddenly, Su Canye’s ears twitched. He heard the sound of running water in the bathroom. “Huh, who’s that showering in the bathroom?”

As soon as he said that, a shrill voice started singing. It was Li Yugang’s “Drunken Beauty.”

Su Canye’s eyes widened as he pointed at Xiao Luo in disbelief. “My goodness, it’s a woman. Xiao Luo, you, you… You’re cheating on my sister?” he said.

Xiao Luo was so angry he almost laughed. “Can’t you tell it’s a man singing?” he quipped.

“A man?”

Su Canye listened carefully, still somewhat in disbelief, but he stuck to his guns. “Xiao Luo, do you take me for a fool? That’s obviously a woman’s voice; how could it be a man?” he said, “This won’t do, I have to tell my sister. She hasn’t given me pocket money in a long time, but I’m sure she’ll give me an endless supply once I do her this service.”

The thought of this was enough to send the man skipping out of the apartment. He shouted as he made his way out, “Su Li, your husband’s cheating on you!”

Huh?

Xiao Luo saw nothing but 10,000 donkeys trampling about in his head. And then, with his eyebrows furrowed tightly together, only one word escaped from his mouth: “Dumb*ss!”

The bathroom door opened, and Zhang Dashan stuck half of his body out, white foamy bubbles atop his head. “Lao Xiao, what was all that noise about cheating I heard just now? I was asking Thumbelina to deal with things since my girlfriend isn’t going to make it today. G.o.d d*mn, all that noise really messed me up.”

Thumbelina?

Xiao Luo’s eyes were wide in shock. Even a fool would know what Zhang Dashan was up to in the bathroom. Xiao Luo was up to his limit.

He glared sternly at Zhang Dashan and bellowed, “Get out here, you get the h.e.l.l out here right now!”

“D*mn, I was just joking, and you’re taking it so seriously.” Zhang Dashan rolled his eyes, pulling his body back in and firmly shutting the door.

What kind of joke was that?

Xiao Luo felt himself reaching the verge of a mental breakdown. Zhang Dashan was growing more and more brazen these days.

After the shower, Zhang Dashan put on the pajama that Xiao Luo had handed him and stepped out of the steaming hot bathroom.

“Hey there, little girl. Do you remember me?” He waved at Su Xiaobei, who was playing with the toy piano in front of the table.

Su Xiaobei had an excellent memory. She spoke in that babyish voice of hers and said, “You’re Uncle Dashan.”

“Haha, not bad, not bad at all. I’m your Uncle Dashan. No, actually, I’m your Brother Dashan. I’ve only just turned 18 this year.”

Zhang Dashan was overjoyed, and he walked over to pinch her little face affectionately. He then turned his head to Xiao Luo and said, “Hey, Lao Xiao, this little girl has grown quite a bit. She’s such a pretty little darling now. Look at her—she looks just like a princess from a fairy tale, so cute, but she doesn’t have any friends. Let me take another look at her. Ahh, she actually looks a lot like you. Is the saying true, then? The one about how kids most resemble the person they live with the most?”

“You’re digressing again. Can you focus on the issue at hand?” Xiao Luo growled.

“Hey, man, I’m always focused. Oh, right, hurry and arrange for me to meet G.o.ddess Su. I can’t miss my chance at meeting such a celebrity,” Zhang Dashan said.
