The bodyguards who had finally risen to their feet fell back to the ground in shock again.
They figured that they might slip and fall again later, so they decided not to get up any time soon.
Even Xie Xize’s hands were trembling, despite how calm and collected he usually was.
This kid… where did he come from?
Xie Xize’s heart was pounding heavily, but his face remained calm. He looked up at the sun.
It was broad daylight. Where did this little monster come from?
He Xinyue took a step back with a pale face, “Senior… is… is he really your kid?”
After Xie Xize completed his doctorate, he went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to undertake further studies for a year. Four years ago, he was invited by the MIT to give a course of lectures.
He Xinyue happened to be studying business at MIT. She had had heard of Xie Xize long ago, and so even though the course Xie Xize was teaching had nothing to do with her course of study, she had still attended all his lectures.
He Xinyue fell in love at first sight when she met Xie Xize. She had never seen anyone with such divine brilliance.
Since then, He Xinyue had done everything she could and spent a lot of money. She had asked a lot of people for help and finally found a chance to approach Xie Xize.
She insisted on calling him senior without his permission, even when she was completely irrelevant.
He Xinyue had always assumed Xie Xize was a clean-living and honest man. He was never close to any woman. Therefore, she could eventually win his affection by putting in the necessary effort!
When she learned Xie Xize was coming to Jinchuan, she believed it was a great chance for her!
She even prepared the land to gift to Xie Xize, but was greeted by such a huge surprise!
Latiao’s nose had reddened from the crying. He kept pulling Xie Xize’s shirt and wrinkled it, “Daddy…why aren’t you saying anything…”
Xie Xize frowned. He felt like he had just encountered the most difficult problem in his life.
If it was an adult, Xie Xize had hundreds of ways to make this child shut his mouth. But a boy?…
The kid was clearly uttering nonsense, yet he could not harden his heart to scold him.
Latiao sobbed, “Am I misbehaving?”
Xie Xize, “…”
“Did I not listen to you?”
Xie Xize was distraught seeing the tears running down Latiao’s cheeks. He frowned, “That’s not…”
Latiao suddenly burst out crying, “Daddy, did you not want your precious anymore?”
The kid’s cry was gripping their hearts.
The bodyguards behind them were heartbroken, too.
So pathetic…
They initially thought Latiao was a little devil, but they now felt that the professor had a hardened heart instead.
Xie Xize had never felt so troubled in his life. This was a problem he had never encountered before. He had no clue how to approach it.
He let out a faint sigh, “I didn’t I say I don’t want you. Can you stop crying?”
He Xinyue’s heart sank upon hearing the words.
Since when had Xie Xize spoken to anyone in such a soft tone?
Was the boy really his son?
Latiao’s cry softened, “So, does daddy want to marry this aunty?”
“Why should I marry her?”
Latiao bit his finger. “Doesn’t she like you?”
He Xinyue instantly blushed, “I…I do have feelings for senior. Actually…”
Xie Xize answered calmly, as if he did not hear her words, “A lot of people like me. Do you think I have to marry them all?”
