Chapter 33: The Macho Man (2/2)

When the phone is connected, Bo Yu asks blankly, “What’s up?”

“...” Song Shilin hands the phone to little Watermelon.

Little Watermelon feels aggrieved when he hears Bo Yu’s voice. He says all his distress that he suffered in Mo’s house yesterday and complains in a low voice.

Bo Yu remains calm and gently comforts little Watermelon, and then asks why he stays with Song Shilin.

Little Watermelon explains stutteringly.

The child returns the phone. The two adults hold their mobiles, waiting for other’s opening.

Bo Yu clears his throat. “Thank you for that. I... I will come back in thirteen days.”

Song Shilin is silent.

Bo Yu curses in his heart, but for the sake of his stupid son, he can only say, “May I beg you to take care of him in those days? I will come back as soon as possible.” He doesn’t dare to leave little Watermelon to Mo Anyu anymore.

Song Shilin says coldly, “I will ask you for the same reward.”

After saying that, the macho man hangs up without any guilt.

Bo Yu, “...”

Secretary Chu turns his head to look at Song Shilin from time to time. He hesitates in speech.

Song Shilin pretends to fall asleep with the calm expression in the face of crumbling Mount Tai, letting little Watermelon hold his arm.

Mo Anyu looks all over the house and doesn’t find little Watermelon. His reason wanders on the edge of anger.

Dandan lies on the carpet and pretends to be dead.

“Find him!”

“Find the little boy for me! Or all of you get out of here!”

Mo Anyu is furious at the man on the phone.

However, Mo Anyu just orders his employees to look for little Watermelon, and then Bo Yu happens to call him.

“Hello, it’s me.”
