Chapter 55 (1/2)

At this critical moment, no one else could be counted on, I still had to do it myself…

I sat down and held Kangkang on my lap while pointing to Mo Fei with a smile, I said, “Kangkang, didn’t you say that only an ugly, old hag would eat people, but a mysterious witch like the beautiful elder sister, flies through the skies with a broom? Which one do you think she looks like?”

The truth was, Kangkang never said this. She only said that the old hag was sinister and cruel, and who liked to eat people. I slightly twisted what she had said, so it was half true and half false. Fortunately, although the little girl was still very naive, there was no problem with her aesthetic standard, “beautiful witch sister!”

“Yes, so how can she eat people?”

Almost all boys dreamed of becoming a superman in their childhood, and just like boys, almost all girls dreamed of becoming an omnipotent witch. Being beautiful and mysterious have always been something that almost all the women wanted to be, Mo Fei was no exception to this, and sure enough, her expression eased into a more neutral one. Then everyone all looked at me with gratitude or envy.

However, before we even could even feel relieved, Mo Fei walked around me, squatted down, smiled and asked Kangkang, “little girl, what did you call him?”

Mo Fei seldom came to the general operation team’s working area, so although she knew that Kangkang was elder sister Liu’s daughter, and silently approved that when elder sister Liu had no other choice, she could bring her daughter to the company, she had never heard of those strange names, no wonder she would be curious.

Kangkang was still a little afraid of Mo Fei. She quickly turned around and put her arms around my neck and said timidly, “daddy…”

“Dad… Daddy?” the smile on Mo Fei’s face seemed a little bit forced, “Chu Nan, you and team leader Liu…”

“It is not what you think it is…” Elder sister Liu knew that Mo Fei got the wrong idea, so she hurriedly explained, “Ms. Mo, it is a misunderstanding. She is just playing around.”

Song Jia also said, “yes, Ms. Mo, I am Kangkang’s little sister, Yang Wei is her elder brother, Susu is her aunt, the deputy team leader Gao is her grandfather, we each have a nickname.”

Mo Fei thought for a second, looked at me and asked Kangkang in confusion, “why don’t you call him elder brother or uncle, why do you call him daddy?”

“I like daddy, so I’ll call him daddy!” The little girl raised her chin and said. Probably because she was still not familiar with Mo Fei, so she showed a little hostility towards Mo Fei.

“Oh… hehe,” Mo Fei probably also felt that Kangkang did not like her, so she stood up embarrassedly, “Chu Nan, don’t forget what I just said.”

“Mhm,” I responded, then gently pinched Kangkang’s cheek, and smiled, “you little crying baby, tell me, how did this elder brother bully you?”

The little girl giggled, and pointed at Young Wei, “he said that if I don’t kiss him, he will not give me food to eat. Daddy, he is very bad, you need to punish him.”

“Okay! I will teach him a lesson!” I said with a straight face. It was at that moment, Brother Yang suddenly rushed over and said, “father, I was wrong!”

Looking at brother Wei’s exaggerated performance, everyone burst out laughing. Then I noticed that Mo Fei, who had already walked quite far away, looked back at me, and her eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Mo Fei was a lonely person, longing for a friendship but was afraid to open up to people, I think, she must be envious of our laughter, and she must be hoping that one day she would be able to blend in this kind of atmosphere.

. . .

As I expected, the reason why Mo Fei asked for me, had something to do with her mother. She wanted to use the lunch break to invite me to her home.

Last night Wu Xueqing was very drunk. She didn’t wake up until noon. When she heard Mo Fei said that it was me, who sent her home on the phone, she said that she wanted to thank me personally.

This time, of course, it was probably a genuine thank-you, and it was also only after Mo Fei was asked to leave the room did she finally inquire what had happened last night.

According to Wu Xueqing, after I taught her a lesson yesterday afternoon, she indeed felt shame and regret. (Although I wasn’t sure if she was telling the truth, I understood that she was very upset at that time.) Feeling frustrated, she went to ‘Psychedelic COCO” at night to drink away her frustration.

She vaguely remembered that when she was a little tipsy, a young man came to chat her up. Because it was not the first time that Wu Xueqing had seen such a thing, so since someone was happy to buy her a drink, she also did not refuse it and started to chat with him, then what happened later, she could not remember it clearly.

She felt like she was above the clouds and fogs, she felt both excited and very comfortable. Hazy-minded, she did not know when she lost consciousness completely. When she finally regained her consciousness, she was already in Mo Fei’s house.
