Chapter 85 - Happy April Fools Day (2/2)
”Sure. After you beg for forgiveness and plead to me. Better if you lower your head,” Han Huizhong's eyes glinted with light.
Xiaosi froze.
Suddenly, he felt as if he couldn't move. His gaze bore into Han Huizhong's as he clenched his fist in anger.
He clutched his head as a sharp pain shot in it.
”Ughh…”
Xinyi and Zhiyuan widened their eyes.
”Xiaosi?”
Why does he look in pain?
Han Zhiyuan kept looking at him with no comment.
”Ughhh!! You will pay for this!” Sweat formed on his forehead and his breaths grew restless.
Xinyi urged him. ”Grandpa, please stop this! Hand over Chyou to him.”
He clicked his tongue. ”So pitiful as always Zhu Xiaosi.”
Han Huizhong typed a message on his phone. A minute later, Chyou ran into the room and brightened seeing Xiaosi.
”Dada!” She clutched his leg hard and laughed. ”Dada, you came! I missed you.”
Zhiyuan and Xinyi were taken aback.
Huh? How is she smiling?
”Chyou!” Xiaosi quickly bent down and checked on her. ”Are you alright? Are you scared? Are you hurt anywhere?”
Before his daughter, he forgot the glaring pain in his head.
She blinked her eyes. ”Dada? Why will I be hurt? I am fine!”
Xiaosi was shocked. ”You-you were locked in a room…”
”No, Dada. I was playing with Siying's toys in Aunty's room!”
Han Huizhong chuckled and seemed to enjoy himself.
”Isn't it right, Chyou dear? Xinyi suddenly left us all alone and we played a lot, isn't it?”
”En!” Her tiny head bobbed up and down with the pigtails fluttering up in the wind. ”Dada, Grandpa, and I played a lot. He taught me many board games too!”
Her eyes gleamed and shone in happiness.
Xiaosi was dumbstruck. He couldn't speak a word next. His fingers silently clutched his coat as he dangerously eyed the old man.
He lied to me…
Even Zhiyuan was frustrated with his behavior. This wasn't a thing to be joked upon and he was enjoying everybody's reactions here.
The most relieved was Xinyi. She imagined her crying and worst case, going into a trauma. For a moment she wondered that Han Huizhong really did it, but thankfully that wasn't the case.
She smiled. ”That's awesome. I am glad you enjoyed your time even when I couldn't be here. I am really sorry, dear that I had to leave. Siying got sick so…”
Chyou's little face gasped in shock. ”Sick? What happened to Siying? Where is he? I want to meet him!”
Zhiyuan ruffled her head. ”Siying is now alright and already recovering. No need to worry. If you want to see him, he is in the other room on the right side. But he is sleeping.”
”I promise I won't wake him up!”
”Ch-Chyou-” Xiaosi tried to hold her shoulder, but she already trotted away.
He sharply jerked his head towards Han Huizhong. ”You-”
”Happy April Fool's Day,” he Han Huizhong sneered. ”Did you forget that today is the first of April? People play pranks all over the world. Well, at least I was generous enough to keep this only as a prank as compared to your dear mother-in-law and wife. But it wouldn't be the next time.”
Xiaosi was about to warn him but once again, a dull pain shot in his head and he stumbled on his knees a bit.
”Xiaosi!” Zhiyuan held his arm to help him but he shook it off.
”Get lost! I don't need your help!”
He tremblingly got up, supporting his body on his right foot.
Xinyi seemed a little hesitant. ”A-are you alright? You look pale...”
He chuckled in disdain. ”Somebody played a horrible joke on me regarding my daughter and you expect me to be alright? That's some nerve you got there, Mrs. Han.”
”No, I didn't mean it that way…”
”Let it be, granddaughter-in-law,” Han Huizhong waved his hand, ”People just don't appreciate good humor.”
Xinyi shot a disappointed glare at him. ”Grandpa, please.”
”I am taking my Chyou away! I will end these stupid classes!”
”Tsk. You asked us to let her stay with us, so don't raise your voice against us, young man,” he narrowed his eyes.
He angrily laughed. ”Right. It's my fault. How can the great Han Huizhong ever be wrong? Whether a joke or reality, you are always right, aren't you?”
