TGLC Chapter 14.1

Xu Yi hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Duan Zihui called Xie Qingyu.

Xie Qingyu didn’t know how he knew about it. She said impatiently, “It’s nothing serious. We are driving home now.”

He then went directly to their doorstep and waited.

About forty minutes later, the mother and daughter came out of the elevator.

Duan Zihui heard Xie Qingyu scolding.

“Zhuzhu, are you an idiot? If you can’t catch the ball with your hands, don’t catch it. Do you think you’ve mastered the iron head technique? Just use your head to hit it?”

Zhuzhu felt a little guilty after hearing her mother’s words. She whispered, “Mom, please don’t call me an idiot. It’s not nice.”

Xie Qingyu: “It doesn’t matter. I’m only scolding you.”

Zhuzhu said weakly, “What I meant is that I want you to stop scolding me.”

Xie Qingyu glared at her: “I’m scolding you! Look at that bump on your head. It’s like a lightbulb. From now on, you won’t need street lights at night. The moment you step outside, everything around you will be bright.” (T/N: LOL!!!)

As she spoke, Xie Qingyu began to laugh.

“How can there be a little idiot like you?”

Just as she was about to reach the door, she saw a man standing there.

The man was tall and long-legged, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and a face that was a bit too ostentatious. He stood there in a white shirt and black trousers, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xie Qingyu was startled by the sudden appearance of the person and asked in a somewhat aggressive tone, “Why didn’t you say anything when you came? You scared me to death.”

Duan Zihui was getting anxious waiting. When he saw them coming back, he hurried over, his eyes filled with worry, and asked, “Is Zhuzhu okay?”

Duan Zihui had just called her, and he was already here. It was obvious that he must have been here a long time ago.

Xie Qingyu felt quite relieved. She smiled at Zhuzhu and said, “Check yourself to see if she’s okay. The lightbulb on her forehead is brighter than the lights above.”

Duan Zihui’s gaze fell on the bulge on Zhuzhu’s forehead.

He saw that the little girl in the yellow-green skirt had a big red bump on her forehead, and her eyes were also a little red, as if she had been crying.

Duan Zihui frowned and asked, “How did you do that?”

When he stretched out his hand, Zhuzhu hid behind her mother, looking at him with some caution, as if she were looking at a stranger.

Without making a sound, she hid behind Xie Qingyu, hugging her thigh, completely dependent on her.

Duan Zihui’s frown deepened, as if it was about to get knotted at any moment.

Xie Qingyu glanced at the child and said, “She was playing with a ball downstairs, and when she couldn’t catch it, she just used her head to hit it. Our Zhuzhu is truly a talent.”

Seeing Duan Zihui blocking the doorway, she raised her foot and kicked him.

“Get out of the way! I need to open the door. I don’t have time to be a statue with you.”

Xie Qingyu didn’t wear high heels today. She wore white sneakers and a blue slim long skirt, which looked very beautiful.

She kicked Duan Zihui’s black suit pants twice, and the suit pants, which were originally wrinkle-free, immediately became a little dirty.

But Duan Zihui, who always loved cleanliness, had no time to care about it. His attention was only on his daughter.

He asked Zhuzhu: “Does it hurt?”

But Zhuzhu didn’t respond. Her bright, black eyes shone, yet she remained silent, like a mute.

“Don’t you remember Dad?” Duan Zihui asked with a smile, putting on his most gentle one.

But Zhuzhu just looked at him without answering him. As soon as her mother opened the door, she immediately ran into the room and disappeared.

Only Xie Qingyu and Duan Zihui were left in the living room.

Xie Qingyu was afraid that her child had a concussion, so she took her to the hospital for a check-up. The swollen area had already been treated with medicine.

After two or three hours of struggling, she didn’t even have time to drink a breath of water.

After finishing her water, she finally had time to glance at him.

She asked, “Why did you come here so suddenly? It’s so late at night.”

Duan Zihui replied: “Nothing. I just happened to have a client over here, so I came.”

“Oh.” Xie Qingyu curled her lips.

He was just passing by. She thought that he came to see Zhuzhu on purpose, but obviously not.

It seems that Zhuzhu is not that important in his heart.
