263 Grand Master (1/2)

Before long, the little girl came out of the bathroom and ran directly to Xiao Luo. She tightly held his hand as she stood by his side.

After washing her hands, Tang Wantian came over and said with some envy, ”Xiao Luo, your daughter is so close to you. It seems that you must be a loving father.”

Xiao Luo still didn't know what to say, so he shrugged and smiled.

”Let's go. We should go up first. Everyone must be waiting.” Tang Wantian changed the topic.

Xiao Luo nodded.

Taking the lift, they soon reached the fifth level. The server led them to room 508.

As they pushed open the door, the first things in sight were a large round table and a crystal chandelier hanging high from the ceiling. The floor was covered in red carpet. The décor was rather vintage. The place was magnificent, pursuing perfection in every decoration. It made one felt as if one had come to a palace.

Around the round table were their classmates.

”Damn, Old Xiao, how did you run into our pretty lady Tang? With this little girl alongside, you two look like a couple here for a banquet.” Zhang Dashan had drunk some liquor, so he couldn't help but start spouting nonsense.

”Xiao Luo, Wantian, you two are so late. You must drink three glasses of liquor as a punishment.”

At the head of the table, a comely and cultured looking young man stood up and smiled. He was Guo Qinghe, the class head. With a pair of glasses and a suit, one thought of the phrase ”successful person” just by taking one look at him.

”Three glasses are not enough. It must be at least five glasses, ha-ha...”

”Yeah, five glasses. It can't be any less.”

”Xiao Luo and Wantian never got drunk at class gatherings back when we were in university. It shows that they have a high capacity for liquor. If you ask me, five glasses are not enough. They should directly drink from the bottle and finish it.”

The other people cheered them on. The atmosphere in the room immediately warmed up.

”You bunch of jerks are still behaving so badly after three years. Alright, let me eat something first. I'll play Finger Spoof with all of you later and see whether you all can still be so smug.” Tang Wantian rolled up her sleeves like a tomboy.

This scared the bunch of people cheering. Playing drinking games with Tang Wantian was like seeking one's death.

They changed their target to Xiao Luo.

”Xiao Luo, what's going on with you, huh? Why did you bring such a cute little girl over?”

”Yeah, she looks so cute. I really want to hug her and show her some love.”

”I'm still single. I booked this little girl in advance. She will be my future wife, so don't you all try to compete with me.”

Several men and women left their seats and walked over to the little girl. Some squeezed her cheeks, and some touched her nose. They all liked her very much.

The little girl hugged Xiao Luo's thighs and sheepishly hid behind him.

Zhao Mengqi was all dressed up and wearing a long tunic dress and light makeup. After going through much heartache and the torture of sickness, she no longer looked as bright and beautiful as before, but she was still a rather good-looking lady.

She sat in her seat, not moving. Ever since Xiao Luo entered, her gaze was always on him. It was indescribably bitter, regretful, and embarrassed. This outstanding young man once belonged to her, but now they were like strangers. Thinking of that, her heart ached. It was as if someone was stabbing it with a knife. She wished for nothing more than to turn back and return to the past. Without realizing it, her eyes became slightly red.

”Ah Shui, if you want to marry this little girl, you must now address Xiao Luo as Father-in-law,” Tang Wantian joked.

Address Xiao Luo as Father-in-law?

Everyone in the room was momentarily shocked.

The man she called Ah Shui was Hu Shuiping. He was rather short and looked fairly plain, but he was a quick thinker. He pointed at the little girl hiding behind Xiao Luo, who was only showing half of her face, and asked Tang Wantian in surprise, ”Are you saying that she is Xiao Luo's daughter?”

Tang Wantian looked at Zhao Mengqi and spread her hands, saying in puzzlement, ”Yeah, isn't Mengqi here? Didn't she tell you all?”

Everyone exchanged silent looks. Their expressions were awkward.
