The crowd was dumbfounded…
Holy crap, this did not make any sense. It is totally against the principles of science!
Who exactly was this kid? How did he convince Professor Xie, who hated people getting close to him, to carry him in his arms?
He even let a little kid lecture him! What is happening to the world?
Xie Xize was quite speechless himself, but he did not show it. He weighed the kid in his arms and said, “You’re pretty heavy.”
Latiao was extremely proud. He grabbed Xie Xize’s collar and said, “Of course, do you think it’s easy to be this chubby? Carry me tight, you are done for if I fall!”
Xie Xize was extremely smart. He was born a genius. However, he was feeling a little uneasy, as it was his first time carrying a child in his arms.
It was a lot more difficult than conducting experiments!
Xie Xize did not like managing his business, but it was still a lot easier than carrying a kid around!
The little boy was very fussy, too. He kept complaining about how Xie Xize was not carrying him well, giving instructions in a serious manner.
Xie Xize was only planning to stay in Jinchuan for two days, today and tomorrow. He had a lot of matters to attend to, yet he still had the time to fool around with a kid?
He was a little confused himself!
Xie Xize asked Latiao, “Where are we going?”
“Go downstairs, I’ll guide you again once you’re out of the building.”
Xie Xize carried Latiao into the elevator, leaving the dumbfounded people behind.
A moment later, the bodyguards yelled, “Shit, what are we waiting for? Go after them now!”
The Deputy CEO of the hospital murmured thoughtfully after the bodyguards left, “Why do I feel like… that kid looks like the professor?”
The CEO said, “Does he?”
“I… think so?”
When they were downstairs, Latiao was pulling Xie Xize to get his attention when he suddenly heard, “Senior Xie!…”
It was a woman with a pleasant voice. Her Mandarin accent was not standard, but had the tender tones of women from Jiangnan. Her voice alone could soften the bones of a man.
Latiao looked up. He was stunned when he saw the approaching woman.
His eyes were immediately filled with strong hatred. His little body was trembling subconsciously.
It was her!
The daughter of Changyue Group in Jinchuan, He Xinyue! One of the murderers who killed his mother in his previous life!
Xie Xize nodded at the woman politely in greeting. He also sensed Latiao’s strange reaction. He asked, “What is it?”
Latiao lowered his head and dug it into Xie Xize’s chest. He did not speak or move.
Xie Xize was startled by Latiao’s reaction. He felt his chest buzzing on the inside when the little kid smashed his head onto his chest.
For some unknown reason, he kept behaving abnormally in front of the kid.
Xie Xize’s lips curled up. Either way, he did not dislike it.
He Xinyue had a graceful and beautiful appearance. Her gaze at Xie Xize blatantly displayed her deep desire for him.
She was surprised when she saw Latiao in Xie Xize’s arms, “Senior Xie, who is this child?”
“What do you want?”
He Xinyue quickly replied, “I heard senior is planning to set up biomanufacturing labs in Jinchuan. My family’s company happens to have some vacant land that might be suitable for you. I’m thinking of giving it to you as a gift. I hope you will accept it.”
Everyone knew how valuable the land in a city was nowadays. He Xinyue was willing to give land away as a gift. It clearly showed how deep her regard for Xie Xize was.
However, she clearly knew that anything was worth it if she could curry favor with Xie Xize, let alone a single plot of land!
Xie Xize rejected the offer without even considering it, “Thanks, but that won’t be necessary. I’m quite busy here, so if you’ll excuse me.”
He Xinyue did not feel awkward when her offer was rejected. She said, “Senior, are you free tonight? I would like to treat you to dinner. It’s rare for you to come to Jinchuan. I’m thinking…”
Latiao suddenly raised his head and interrupted her, calling out, “Daddy!”
