C71 Shen Xue's Mind
C71 Shen Xue's Mind
"Oh, so it's Uncle Liu's child." Hearing this, Shen Xue became overjoyed.
Seeing the boy being so intimate with Wu Tian, she thought that he was Wu Tian's illegitimate son; consequently causing her mood to sink.
After realizing that the little boy was simply Uncle Liu's child, she suddenly felt a sense of relief.
"Xiao Xue, would you be willing to make a child set meal for Xiaohao?" Wu Tie tried asking.
"Of course, no problem."
Shen Xue walked over and held the side of Xiaohao's face, "You are so cute. Tell me, what's your name?"
"Liu Xiaohao, you can call me Hao Hao."
"Good boy." Seeing such a cute child before her, Shen Xue found it amusing and introduced herself, "My name is Shen Xue, I'm your father's friend."
"Hello, Auntie."
"Tell me what you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
"I want strawberry shortcake."
"Alright, I'll make it for you. Just wait here for a bit." Touching the tip of Xiaohao's nose, she stood back up and said to Liu Fugui, "Uncle Liu, please wait a moment. I'll go make some food for Hao."
"We'll just have anything you decide to make."
"No problem, I'll get it done soon." Shen Xue glanced at Wu Tian and quickly walked towards the kitchen.
As soon as Shen Xue left, the phone in Wu Tian's pocket suddenly rang.
He took it out and saw that it was Liu Jun calling.
After he answering the call, he smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, I was just about to call you and invite you out for dinner!"
"Let's have a meal together some other time. I've been busy investing recently," Liu Jun spoke with a serious yet kind tone on the other end of the call.
"Oh? Did Uncle Liu invest in some new projects?"
"Yes, I've recently bought a few plots of land, and I need you to invest in them for me."
"Where are those plots of land?"
"Jade Garden."
"That area is pretty good."
"Don't worry, the plots of land that I've set my eyes on will definitely not be bad. It's much more reliable than your investment in Tianmu Technology since there are fewer risks of losing money," Liu Jiu said with a very confident tone.
"I presume the price for this area must be very high!"
"That is indeed the case. Having been short on funds as of late, I wanted to ask you to cooperate with me. If you're interested, why don't you come over and take a look? Let's talk about the details of the cooperation."
"There's no need for me to go look." After a moment of thought, Wu Tian said into his phone, "I believe that Uncle Liu's eyes for things aren't bad. How about this? I'll invest a hundred million yuan."
Having made a decent sum of profit from his restaurants recently, Wu Tian decided that it would be better to invest the money into real estate instead of putting it in the bank.
"You are a bold one indeed. You didn't even look before throwing in a hundred million, hahaha…" Liu Jun's laughter resounded lucidly from the other end of the phone.
"That's simply how much I trust you, Uncle Liu."
"Good kid, since you put you trust in me, I definitely won't let you down."
"As for the investment, I will get my secretary to contact you. For the management, on the other hand, I will not participate and will instead just wait for the dividends."
"Alright, that's settled then."
"See you next time, Uncle Liu," Wu Tian said before finally hanging the call.
The moment he ended the call, he saw Shen Xue carrying two sets of dishes out from the kitchen.
One was a child's set meal that was specially prepared for Hao Hao, and the other was the most popular Chinese set meal in the restaurant.
The two sets of dishes were meticulously prepared, and just looking at them was enough to make one's appetite rise.
"Hao Hao, Auntie made this for you. Hurry up and taste it," Shen Xue said, gently placing the children's meal set in front of Xiaohao.
"Thank you, Auntie."
After thanking her, Xiaohao began to devour the hearty meal placed in front of him.
Perhaps due to its delicious flavor, his face quickly turned into a mess as he gobbled down every part of the dish.
Shen Xue wiped Xiaohao's face with a tissue and said with a smile, "Eat slowly, no one is going to steal it from you."
"So delicious!" Xiaohao ignored her remarks and continued to munch down his food.
"Ha ha!"
Seeing Xiaohao eat the food that she cooked so happily, Shen Xue felt a great sense of elation.
Pushing the other Chinese dish over to Wu Tian and Liu Fugui, she then said, "Uncle Liu, you guys eat too!"
"Alright!"
After Liu Fugui answered, he picked up his pair of chopsticks and started eating.
Originally, he did not feel very hungry. However, he yielded to his sin of gluttony upon seeing the beautiful presentation of the dish and the fragrant lingering through the air. With that, he too began eating.
After they finished their meal, Xiaohao wiped clean his dirty mouth and couldn't help but praise Shen Xue, "Auntie, the food you made is so delicious."
"Thank you, Xiaohao, for your praise," Shen Xue thanked and let out a smile brighter than the sun.
"Auntie is not only beautiful but is also a great cook!"
"Hao Hao's mouth is so sweet, so sensible."
"Uncle!" Xiaohao turned his head to look at Wu Tian and said in a childish voice, "I think you should marry Aunt Shen Xue so that she can cook for you every day."
*Cough! Cough!*
Wu Tian taken aback by his sudden exclamations, coughed at few times in surprise. He never expected Hao Hao to already be saying such words at such a young age.
"Hao Hao, don't talk nonsense." Shen Xue glanced at Wu Tian and lowered her head with a flushed face.
She did not think the child would end up spouting those words and immediately felt a great sense of embarrassment in her heart.
Liu Fugui, who was beside him, quickly reprimanded his son, "Hao Hao, don't be so shameless. I forbid you to say such things in the future."
"Uncle Fugui, don't be angry. A child will always say such shildish things.
"This child must have watched too much TV. Don't take his words to heart. I'll bring Hao Hao to the car first," Liu Fugui said as he dragged Hao Hao out of the restaurant.
In an attempt to break the awkward atmosphere, Shen Xue said, "Hao Hao is so cute and obedient."
"You seem to like children a lot."
"Yeah, I really like kids."
"If you like children, then give birth to one yourself."
"I can't do it alone!" Shen Xue answered in embarrassment as her face flushed red yet again, regretting her previous remarks.
Wu Tian scratched his head and boldly teased: "If you want to have children, I can help you."
"Who wants your help?" Hearing that, Shen Xue's face turned crimson red, embarrassed to the point that she could not look Wu Tian in his eyes.
She did not know how their conversation suddenly switched to something as flustering as having children.
"I was just joking with you, don't be angry," Wu Tian interrupted, knowing that he should stop before the topic gets even more awkward.
*Cough!*
Shen Xue coughed lightly and took the initiative to change the topic, "Oh right, who was the woman you brought here to eat before?"
Twice she had seen Wu Tian bring the same woman wearing sunglasses to the restaurant for dinner.
Shen Xue felt an sense of unease and discomfort each time she saw the two of them act intimately.
"That woman is called Huang Lan. She's a singer with a quite bit of a reputation in the entertainment industry," Wu Tian explained.
"You're so amazing. You can even get yourself a beautiful singer," Shen Xue pouted, clearly angry at heart.
"Don't misunderstand, Huang Lan and I only have a business relationship with each other."
"Are you two really just cooperating in business?"
"Of course."
"I thought you had that kind of relationship with her!" Shen Xue bit her lips, feeling her sense of bitterness dissipate slightly.
