326 Humble (1/2)

”I am speaking to Xiaobei, who are you to cut in!”

Yang Hongzhi was curt, and he glared at Xiao Luo with undisguised loathing. His angry voice frightened Su Xiaobei, who was still clinging on to Xiao Luo's back.

Xiao Luo was quite stunned as he did not expect that his word of advice would have agitated Yang Hongzhi to such a degree. But Xiao Luo brushed it off with a chuckle and decided to ignore him.

”Yang Hongzhi, you're scaring Xiaobei!” Su Li chided.

The scowl on Yang Hongzhi's tensed-up face vanished instantly as he slapped his forehead dramatically and said, ”Oh, Li, it's my bad, it's my bad… I'm so sorry.” He then attempted to make a cute face and waved at Su Xiaobei, flashing her a broad smile. ”Xiaobei, uncle Yang was too loud; you must be scared, right? Here, here… Uncle Yang is very sorry. Don't cry, okay?”

As he spoke, he bowed like a gentleman in a rather fawning manner, which didn't seem to impress Xiao Luo or the little girl.

Su Xiaobei hugged Xiao Luo's neck more tightly and looked frightened.

”Ms. Su, why don't you all continue playing, and I'll take Xiaobei for a stroll nearby.” Xiao Luo said.

”You're not joining us?” Shen Qingyan asked, toying with the racket in her hands.

”You guys carry on, don't worry about us.”

Xiao Luo turned and left with Su Xiaobei on his back, and Luo Pingxiang followed the pair.

Yang Hongzhi looked at Xiao Luo as he walked away and sneered, ”Hah! To think that this catfish really thinks he's Xiaobei's real father!”

”He's doing his job very well!”

Su Li's terse response told Yang Hongzhi where she stood on the matter in no uncertain terms.

”Li, I know you love Xiaobei very much and want to give her a happy childhood. However, is this really appropriate? Xiaobei might be happy for the time being, of course. But what about the future, how long do you think that catfish over there will stick around? When he's had enough and leaves, wouldn't she be heartbroken? I think this whole arrangement is detrimental to her, and I urge you to reconsider,” Yang Hongzhi said.

”If it turns out that Su Xiaobei wants to treat Xiao Luo as her father forever, I will never allow him to leave her. Even if it means I have to pay an enormous sum of money, I'll make sure to keep Xiao Luo by her side.”

Shen Qingyan, seeing that this was going nowhere, laughed sweetly and said, ”Li, don't you understand where young master Yang is coming from? If Xiao Luo remains Su Xiaobei's 'father,' then wouldn't it mean that you're technically married to Xiao Luo. Young master Yang is expressing his concern about this.”

”Qingyan knows me too well!” Yang Hongzhi chimed in.

”Don't waste your time on me, I'm sure you have better choices. Okay, that's enough, let's play. Qingyan, you're serving first.” Su Li promptly walked toward the other end of the tennis court and did not allow Yang Hongzhi to pester her any further.

Shen Qingyan gave Yang Hongzhi a shrug and walked to the opposite side to serve.

”Cough, cough...”

Yang Hongzhi felt a little awkward. ”Errm, may I join you guys?”

”Sure, whoever scores fifteen points first wins the round, and the loser takes a break… this is much more fun,” Shen Qingyan said.

Su Li did not object.

Su Li and Shen Qingyan changed into their sportswear, and they were both wearing a similar design—pink short-sleeved top and a short white skirt—which made them look like twins. The outfits generously revealed their perfect figures and fair skin to a pair of predatory eyes perched on an armchair's side nearby.

Intently watching the ladies twisting their waists and buttocks as they swung the tennis racket, Yang Hongzhi could not contain himself, and his thoughts wandered to dark places. He kept swallowing his saliva as he indulged in fantasizing about being in bed with these two sexy ladies. However, he knew that this could only happen in his imagination as he was well aware that they no easy game to be stalked and taken down.
