Chapter 138 A Nice Man with a Mole
Chapter 138 A Nice Man with a Mole
After cutting the watermelon, Bai Jing carefully put it into the food box in front of the young master, then turned his head and pretended to be troubled.
"My Lord, should I deliver the watermelon or should you deliver it?"
Xiao Jue stared at the food box intently and smiled, "You still have some conscience!"
After saying that, Xiao Jue swiftly picked up the food box, turned around and went up to the small building on the wall.
At this time, little Tangxin was being taken by the Lin family father and son, running wildly at the other end of the courtyard. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jue just waved at her, so she begged her uncle to take her to her uncle.
Xiao Jue slowly opened the food box in front of Xiao Tangxin. The moment he saw the watermelon, Xiao Tangxin put his little face close to it and asked impatiently: "Uncle, how did you know that I like watermelon the most? Hehe... Thank you, uncle."
"Sugarheart, do you like it?"
"Ok!"
"Here... the watermelon was bought for you by the stingy guy downstairs. If you want to thank someone, thank him..."
Xiao Jue deliberately pointed his chin in the direction of Bai Jing in front of Xiao Tangxin.
As a result, Xiao Tangxin's little mouth immediately turned into an O shape, "Oh...thank you Uncle Bai!" As she said that, she waved vigorously at Bai Jing who had a silly smile on his face.
However, there were too many watermelons in the food box and the two of them could not finish them, so after a while, Lin Shiqing took half of the watermelon away and sent it to his father and grandfather's room.
After standing at the foot of the wall for a while, Bai Jing went back to do his own thing.
In a blink of an eye, only Xiao Jue and Xiao Tangxin were left sitting on the small building, each of them holding a piece of watermelon in their hands, and both were carefully picking out the watermelon seeds.
This scene is a bit... unbelievable.
"Uncle, can't you eat watermelon seeds like Tang Xin?"
When Xiao Jue was asked this question, he looked at the small pile of watermelon seeds that the two of them had picked out, and he felt amused. It seemed like this was really the case: "Tang Xin, can you tell uncle why you picked out all the watermelon seeds?"
Tang Xin frowned and thought hard: "My mother doesn't allow me to eat watermelon seeds. If I eat watermelon seeds, I will grow a lot of small bumps."
Xiao Jue was shocked!
What a coincidence! I didn't expect that this child would develop small bumps after eating watermelon seeds just like me.
Could it be that this is the tacit understanding and fate between the two of them?
Thinking of this, Xiao Jue took the watermelon from Tang Xin, carefully picked out all the watermelon seeds on the watermelon, and then checked it again without any hesitation.
After a while, two people, one big and one small, were seen sitting side by side, happily eating their watermelons.
Xiao Jue asked casually: "Tang Xin, has your mother ever told you about your father?"
"No...Mom never talks about Daddy." When Daddy was mentioned, Xiao Tangxin looked depressed.
Other children have fathers, but she doesn't.
"Then do you miss your father?" Xiao Jue raised his hand and touched Xiao Tangxin's head, and asked in a comforting tone.
"Of course I did. He's my father, but mom said he went to a very far place and doesn't want to be with mom anymore."
Although Xiaotangxin was still young, she understood that she would probably never see her father again.
So, as she spoke, she started crying, and she cried very aggrievedly.
Seeing this, Xiao Jue suddenly felt a little helpless. He quickly put Xigua down and coaxed her softly, "Tang Xin, be good... don't cry. It won't look good if you cry."
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, little Tang Xin'er stopped crying immediately.
She tried hard not to cry, her shoulders twitching, "Uncle... my father is in my mother's closet, do you want to see it? I'll get it for you now."
Children's words always reveal a bit of weirdness if you take a closer look.
As soon as Xiao Jue took it apart, he immediately thought that it should be a portrait, so he nodded.
"Okay uncle, come with me, I'll take you to get it!"
Then, the big and the small came to the outside of Lin Acai's house. Xiao Jue stopped and watched Xiao Tangxin jump into the house.
At this time, the royal sister was cooking in the kitchen and had no time to look at Xiao Tangxin.
The father and son of the Lin family went to Old Man Lin's place and never came back.
So, when Xiao Tangxin turned out the portrait, no one was around to try to stop her.
Everything went smoothly. Little Tangxin followed her uncle and sat on the steps under the eaves, slowly unfolding the portrait.
Just showed his head...
Xiao Jue noticed at a glance that there was a big black mole on the chin of the man in the portrait.
"Uncle... isn't my dad very handsome?"
When asking this question, Xiao Tangxin tilted her little head, with an obvious look of pride on her face.
But looking at Xiao Jue again, he had a lump in his throat and his expression was indescribable.
Although the painting is not very good, it is not difficult to see that the man is indeed good-looking, except for the mole... well... it is really hard to describe.
Such a person could actually catch Acai's eye.
Are you angry?
Why doesn't he have such a good life???
"Sugar Heart!"
As soon as she entered the backyard, Lin Acai immediately saw the father and son sitting head to head, and she was very angry.
Why isn't he here again?
As soon as he heard his mother's voice coming from a distance, Little Sugar Heart immediately ran over and threw himself into his mother's arms.
Xiao Jue glanced at the portrait indifferently, then quietly stuffed it into his sleeve and immediately put on a nonchalant expression.
"Ah Cai... why did you come back so late today? Did you encounter a patient who is difficult to treat?"
"Um……"
Lin Acai's words were neither salty nor bland, and it was obvious that he didn't want to give this man a good face.
After a perfunctory greeting, Lin Acai turned around without looking back and took Xiao Tangxin into the inner room.
After entering the inner room, Lin Acai never came out again.
So after standing outside the door for a while in boredom, Xiao Jue returned to Marquis Jingyuan's Mansion in a sullen mood.
Because Ah Cai ignored him and was still lukewarm towards him, Prince Xiao didn't even have the heart to eat dinner. After simply saying hello to the servants, he locked himself in the room and fell asleep.
This sleep was intermittent and actually not a sound one.
It was not until noon the next day that he vaguely heard footsteps walking back and forth in the room.
"Your Highness is finally awake. Look at your portrait. Is it inappropriate to hang it here?"
Normally at the mansion, the servants who serve Xiao Jue closely are all Xiao Si. The Xiao Si who is serving in front of the mirror at this time is named Lai Fu. He is not only smart but also very hardworking. He comes to the prince's room to clean and put things in order every morning.
"…portrait?"
Xiao Jue didn't react for a moment. He slowly stood up and looked at Lai Fu suspiciously.
Lai Fu quickly reminded: "It is this portrait of the prince. I have never seen it before. I guess it must be a girl who painted it for you, the prince."
"Drawn for me?"
The confusion on Xiao Jue's face became even more intense. He had already gotten out of bed and came to the portrait.
The next second, he suddenly recognized the portrait. Isn't this the portrait of Xiao Tangxin's father?
how…
The more I look at it, the more something seems wrong!
