Daddy, Delivery of Mommy Has Arrived! - Chapter 25

Chapter 25: A Model Husband (2)

A little taken aback, An Ziqi asked, “What are you doing here?”

“Daddy has a meeting in the office, so he called specifically to get me to come pick you up.”

Xiao Yining made it a point to emphasize the word ‘specifically’.

Then, grinning broadly, he moved closer to An Ziqi and asked, “Mummy, are you touched?”

All An Ziqi felt was a sensation that she could not control and her cheeks burning for no apparent reason.

“Mummy, you’re blushing!”

“Blushing my foot. Shut up, you!”

An Ziqi glared at him in frustration.

“I don’t mind having a baby sister, so you and Daddy must work harder.”

Laughing mischievously, Xiao Yining winked at her.

This little rascal was in real need of a thrashing.

With gritted teeth, An Ziqi clamped her hand over his mouth, forcing him to shut up.

Awkwardly, she turned her head to look outside the window, her hands soothing her burning cheeks.

She had read somewhere that if someone’s heart beats rapidly and flushes when they think of a certain person, that meant that they liked that person.

Like?

An Ziqi was shocked to the core by her won thoughts.

No, no. This was definitely a mistake on her part.

Suddenly and unexplainably, her mind was filled with the image of his gentle demeanor when he spoke on the phone that night.

Clearly, he already had someone that he liked and was nice to her only because of Ningning.

Right, she was just the housekeeper. That was it.

As for the rapid heartbeat and flushed cheeks, that was most likely due to the hot weather.

Although she was fully aware that she had omitted the fact that the air conditioning in the car had been turned on to the maximum.

Because she had been delayed in leaving the training center, they were caught in a traffic jam, and they had to divert their route home.

As they drove past the location of the store where they had bought her dress, An Ziqi was shocked to see that the store had disappeared.

‘With such bad customer service, it is no wonder that they have folded,’ Xiao Yining thought.

Of course, it was due to his daddy’s effort!

However, seeing the look of satisfaction on his Mummy’s face at the redress from her recent humiliating incident, he did not have the heart to tell her the truth.

Once home, she made dinner. Xiao Moli had made it back in time for dinner.

During dinner, An Ziqi asked excitedly, “Do you guys know that Mr. Xiao from Huanyu Global?”

In the process of picking up his food, Xiao Moli had paused briefly before continuing to eat his dinner as though nothing had happened.

Xiao Yining looked at her curiously and nodded, “Yes. What about him?”

“We will be going to Huanyu tomorrow. For most of today, I heard them talking about this god-like Mr. Xiao—that he was a genius business leader, young and capable, handsome and rich…”

Using her fingers, An Ziqi listed what she had heard during the day on the attributes of the god-like Mr. Xiao.

“He’s perpetually ranked number one as the Model Husband that every woman in the nation would love to marry.”

Xiao Yining shot a glance at Xiao Moli, who was quietly eating his dinner.

Smiling mischievously, Xiao Yining’s eyes flashed brilliantly as he looked at An Ziqi.

“So, Mummy, do you also want to marry him?”

An Ziqi gave it some thought before replying, “Nope.”

“Why not? Didn’t you just say that he’s an excellent catch?” Xiao Yining asked, not understanding her response.

An Ziqi smiled devilishly and made a face as she responded.

“A model husband that every woman covets… Just think about the number of women who would be fantasizing about him every night.”

Heck, heck.

Xiao Moli, who had been eating quietly till now, suddenly began choking on his food.

An Ziqi quickly rose and gave him a glass of water, exclaiming in confusion.

“What are you getting excited about? I was just stating the facts.”

“Correct. Mummy, you are so right. Being an object of fantasy by so many women every night is really unfortunate.”

Unable to hold back any longer, Xiao Yining bent over in laughter.

Xiao Moli shot him a glance and blurted, “Eat your dinner.”

An Ziqi shook her head. Perhaps it was just her imagination, but did Xiao Moli just turn a little green?
