C42 (1/2)

Therefore, it was indeed useful. Xia Lan agreed without the slightest resistance: ”Alright, then I'll wait for you at the intersection in front of the company.”

Gu Xi Jue cut off the call and slammed the phone onto the passenger seat. The phone bounced up and down. No one knew where his anger came from.

Xiao Ze still had not finished school, so Gu Xi Jue parked his car under the big tree in front of the school entrance. This was a major road and parking was prohibited, but the car sign and license plate had already told the people in charge who owned this car. No one dared to come and pick it up, let alone park it under a tree by the roadside.

Seeing that he was running so fast, Xia Lan worriedly rolled down the window and shouted softly: ”Xiao Ze, don't run, look at the road.”

Xiao Ze chuckled, but his small steps moved even faster, and in a moment he was already by the side of the carriage.

Xia Lan took out a tissue from her bag, stretched out her arm out the window and helped wipe his sweat.

Gu Xi Jue used his eyes to look at the two of them, causing Xiao Ze to stand under the carriage as he struggled to stretch his arms out.

”Rub it yourself.” Gu Xi Jue ordered coldly.

Xiao Ze did not refute him and obediently wiped the tissue in Xia Lan's hand.

”Get in.” Xia Lan said gently.

”Is it hot?” Xia Lan asked Xiao Ze who was on the carriage.

Xiao Ze shook his head, and asked curiously: ”Beautiful auntie, why are you here to pick me up? I thought you weren't coming today. ”

”Um... Your father told me to pick you up, so I came. Why, does Xiao Ze not want to see Auntie? ” Xia Lan purposely asked sadly, her expression of teasing children was also very cute.

”How could that be? It's better for Xiao Ze to see you everyday.” Xiao Ze immediately denied it.

The more Gu Xi Jue listened, the angrier he became. He was the only one who knew what was going to happen, and Xiao Ze already knew that Xia Lan wouldn't come pick him up today. Or rather, Xia Lan had long told him that he wouldn't pick him up from now on.

The two of them had already discussed this a long time ago?

Although Xiao Ze knew that Xia Lan would not pick him up, and was very quiet, he did not need to waste time doing his work. But this feeling of being excluded caused a bit of dissatisfaction in Gu Xi Jue's heart.

With a dark expression, he started the car and ignored the two of them.

The three of them still ate together like they did a few days ago. After that, Gu Xi Jue sent Xia Lan back first as usual.

What made Gu Xi Jue have a whole new level of respect was that Xiao Ze did not cry at all, nor did he argue and go upstairs with him. Instead, he happily waved goodbye to Xia Lan.

After watching Xia Lan going upstairs, Gu Xi Jue waited for the lights in his room to be turned on before driving away.

On the way back, Gu Xi Jue asked Xiao Ze, ”Why didn't you cry today?”

”I have to grow up.” Xiao Ze replied as if he himself was very sensible to begin with.

In this regard, Gu Xi Jue scoffed.

Seeing his father's disdainful attitude, Xiao Ze continued unhappily: ”If I don't grow up, how am I supposed to take care of beautiful aunties?
