Chapter 487 Worrisome
487 Worrisome
Although the ones visiting the Xin Villa were Xiu and Jackie, the person who entered first was Ying. Since she was the person who frequently came here, every single person knew her. But surprisingly, everyone remembered Xiu as well. After all, she was the only one who dared to enter this villa and beat up their second young master right before the master of this house.
It could be said that Xiu beating Ah-Si in the presence of Xin Zimen had left a strong impression of hers. But Xiu wasn\'t fazed by those strange gazes. As long as none of them voiced out their \'opinion\' she\'d be willing to overlook as always.
"Young miss," Ying was greeted by the maid which Ying returned with a polite smile.
"Where is Zizi?"
"Master has not returned yet," answered the maid, and Ying\'s face fell. Even though Ying didn\'t ask, she went on with, "Young master Li is also not home."
"I didn\'t ask. I know where he is," said Ying while Xiu wanted to smack her for how indifferent she appeared right now. Suddenly recalling something, she asked, "Where is Ava? Her little uncle is here to see her."
Jackie tugged at Ying\'s shirt as he said, "Can you not address me as little uncle? It makes me sound old."
Ying smiled at him as she turned back to the maid and rephrased herself, "This handsomely adorable little gentleman would like to see his niece."
Xiu pressed her lips together at the way Ying phrased it while Jackie looked displeased at the way he was called adorable! How can handsome and adorable be used in the same sentence for the same person?
The maid looked awkward but she still pointed towards the living room saying, "You can find her there."
Ying didn\'t notice her expressions as she languidly walked over towards the living room. But seeing the scene before her, she was left wide-eyed.
"Aiyo, my little princess, dad is really sorry. At least look at me," Ah-Si could be seen pleading to his three years old who refused to even look at him. Normally, Ava was always smiling but right now, her chubby cheeks were puffed up like a balloon. Ah-Si was sitting on the floor while his daughter was sitting on the couch refusing to even hear him out.
"What\'s going on here?" asked Ying while laughing at Ah-Si. "Don\'t tell me even your daughter doesn\'t listen to you."
"Ying Jie, you can\'t laugh at me!" Ah-Si glared at Ying who shrugged her shoulders but still kept laughing.
Xiu didn\'t pay attention to Ying while she asked Ah-Si, "What happened?"
Ah-Si sighed tiredly, "She is mad at me because I wasn\'t there for her yesterday." He shook his head as he went on, "I promised her that I\'ll be always beside her whenever she gets hurt. But yesterday she fell down while playing around and cried for an hour. No one told me she was hurt, so now I\'m supposed to not talk to her."
Xiu came over and looked at Ava closely as she said, "Ah-Si, how do you even get it?"
"Huh?"
"I mean, she doesn\'t even say anything. How do you get what she means?"
Ah-Si smiled at Xiu\'s question. "She is my daughter. I can read every expression of hers."
Ying patted Xiu\'s shoulder as she said, "When you become a parent, you\'ll get what he means." Xiu furrowed her brows at Ying who elaborated, "That\'s what my mom said. I have no clue what she meant."
Xiu sat beside Ava and said, "Me? And a parent? No, thank you! I\'m very much fine." While she wanted to say something else, Jackie held her hand and tried to pull her.
"Xiu, you sit over there." Xiu furrowed her brows at him as he went on, "I\'ll deal with this little devil."
Seeing the determination in his eyes, Xiu nodded her head, "Okay!" With that, she dragged both Ying and Ah-Si with her. She didn\'t want to disturb him so she took them out of the room.
Ah-Si still hadn\'t gotten any idea why Xiu was here or why Jackie was here. But he didn\'t question either since both of them had a relation with his daughter which he couldn\'t question.
"Stop worrying about your daughter. My brother only looks like he is angry all the time but he is a very sensible kid. I believe he\'ll be able to handle that daughter of yours." Xiu felt like she needed to say it since Ah-Si looked really concerned.
"Can he really handle her? She might not talk but she has a bit of a temper like her mother."
Hearing Ah-Si, Xiu chuckled, "Then that\'s worrisome. Because if she\'s like Nora, she must also be fond of throwing things." Ah-Si nodded his head in reply. "It\'s still okay. He can manage."
"How are you so sure? He doesn\'t even like her!" Ah-Si pointed out.
"Aiyo! He doesn\'t like you either. But so what?" Xiu was so calm but Ah-Si could digest it. "If you don\'t have faith in him, have faith in me. I raised him well."
Ying concealed her laughter with a cough at how Xiu sounded like a proud mother and just a moment ago, she voiced out how she didn\'t want to be a parent. Her words were really contradicting.
Ah-Si became even more tensed as he said, "That\'s the most worrisome part that you raised him. And he shares the same temper as yours."
Xiu smacked his back playfully as she said, "You worry too much brother. Take it easy."
Ah-Si was left speechless at her actions but Ying spoke up, "Worrying is part of being a parent." Xiu again looked at Ying who added, "That\'s also what my mom said."
"Seems like you\'re really fond of your mother," said Xiu.
"Who isn\'t? Doesn\'t everyone love their mom? I never forgot what my mom told me."
Xiu looked down with furrowed brows as she mumbled, "I also never forgot what my mom used to tell me. But I wish I could."
*Message Alert*
Xiu\'s ears perked up as she looked at Ying immediately who in turn looked at her phone and tried to hide it from Xiu.
"He replied, didn\'t he?"
"It\'s not him..." Ying replied while stepping away from Xiu.
"I won\'t read your boyfriend\'s message but you don\'t have to hide it from me."
"Xiu-" Ying wanted to continue but her back hit someone and she went quiet.
