"What do you want to do?" For so reason, seeing the little girl constantly approaching him, Xiao Tian suddenly felt a touch of nervousness.
When she was just a step away from Xiao Tian, Le Yaoyao suddenly took a step forward and planted a kiss on Xiao Tian's cheek with a smacking sound.
Feeling the oiliness on his cheek, Xiao Tian took a tissue from the dining table dispenser, wiped the oil off his face, and said, "I can't imagine how courageous the person who marries you will have to be!"
Le Yaoyao, however, dismissed it with a nonchalant reply, "You can curse all you want, because if I really can't get married in the future, then you'll just have to take care of for a lifeti!"
Xiao Tian was about to speak when the little girl's voice ca again.
"Then, Uncle, that kiss just now wasn't given for free, go wash the dishes!"
Xiao Tian was dumbstruck: "..."
——
When Xiao Tian ca out of the kitchen, he saw the little girl hurriedly picking up the jacket on the sofa, ready to go out.
Seeing Xiao Tian's surprised expression, Le Yaoyao quickly explained, "Uncle, the HR departnt at the company just called . They said a very impressive person has co to apply for a role as an event planner, so I need to go back and et them."
"Soone so impressive?" Xiao Tian was a bit puzzled, "Does it really require the director to et them personally?"
While putting on her jacket, Le Yaoyao replied, "Mainly because I talked to her on the phone a couple of days ago, and we agreed to et."
Talking on the phone beforehand? And the applicant is for event planning?
Xiao Tian's heart stirred. Could it be her?
Thinking about this, Xiao Tian asked, "Is the person male or female?"
Le Yaoyao had already packed up and casually replied, "Male."
Noticing Xiao Tian's face suddenly change, Le Yaoyao couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is there an issue?"
"It's nothing!" Xiao Tian lightly shook his head.
Seeing his expression turn inexplicably odd, Le Yaoyao asked, "Uncle, are you jealous?"
Xiao Tian chuckled, "Jealous of what? More like being jealous of potato strips!"
The little girl was imdiately amused, her giggles ringing like silver bells before she cald down and playfully said, "Just kidding!"
"Actually, it's a girl. Uh… She's called, called, what's her na again..."
Watching the little girl scratching her head in thought, Xiao Tian promptly answered, "Yang Xiaoying!"
"Yes, her!" After saying that, Le Yaoyao suddenly realized the strangeness and curiously asked, "How did you know her na?"
"Because I introduced her to the job."
After hearing Xiao Tian's reply, it was Le Yaoyao's turn for her expression to change.
She circled around Xiao Tian several tis, her gaze scanning him as she interrogated, "Uncle, what is your relationship with her?"
Realizing the little girl's misunderstanding, Xiao Tian explained how he knew Yang Xiaoying and introduced her to the company, which cleared her confusion.
"So that's how it is!" Feeling relieved, Le Yaoyao now looked at Xiao Tian with an abundant sense of reluctance and longing, surprised at how soon they had to part after just eting!
"Uncle, I'm leaving now!"
Xiao Tian waved, and watched the little girl who couldn't help looking back every few steps, feeling amused.
Finally, as she was about to leave, Le Yaoyao couldn't resist running back to him and jumped into Xiao Tian's arms.
Feeling the little girl's strength, Xiao Tian patted her head softly and said, "It's not like we're parting for good. I'll co visit you once I'm free in a couple of days!"
"You always say that." Le Yaoyao hugged Xiao Tian tightly, complaining, "Every ti, it's always visiting you!"
Xiao Tian pondered for a mont, realizing that was indeed the case, and earnestly said, "This ti I'll definitely keep my word. I'll co wearing the most beautiful dress to see you!"
Le Yaoyao sweetly smiled, automatically imagining Xiao Tian's last words as coming in the most beautiful dress to marry her!
Thinking of this, her delicate face blushed deeply once more...
After a long while, Le Yaoyao softly uttered three words, "I'll wait for you!"
Then she released Xiao Tian and walked out without looking back, afraid that if she did, she wouldn't want to leave!
Watching the little girl's leaving silhouette, Xiao Tian's gaze beca sowhat complicated...
——
Shortly after Le Yaoyao left, the villa welcod Xiao Tian's old friend—Ghost Face.
"Long ti no see!"
Regarding Ghost Face's sudden appearance, Xiao Tian greeted as if he had anticipated it.
"Long ti no see!" After returning the greeting, Ghost Face directly got to the point, "There's news about the Five Elents Crystal again."
Upon hearing about the Five Elents Crystal, Xiao Tian's attention shifted, realizing Ghost Face's intention, and he asked, "You want to accompany you in acquiring it?"
Ghost Face seriously nodded and said, "I've almost fully researched the Five Elents Crystal in recent tis. If we can obtain it, it won't take long to completely decode it."
Speaking, Ghost Face's eyes beca fervent, "I have great confidence in helping you break through the genetic shackles. Not only can you return to your peak, but further enhancing your strength isn't out of reach!"
Listening to Ghost Face's words, Xiao Tian couldn't help getting excited, recalling the powerful skills he unleashed during his temporary power boost at the hospital, feeling sowhat stirred.
However, Xiao Tian forced himself to suppress that impulse, as Yu Ningxue was alone going to Qing Province, surrounded by foreign forces and without the ability to protect herself.
Not to ntion, the Wang Family, the local fierce predator, eyeing closely, truly making him uneasy.
Most importantly, Xiao Tian's strength had greatly diminished and just stabilized, even less than Fan Ming at that ti. He didn't believe he could win on luck!
"You've heard about my situation, right?" Xiao Tian didn't pick up on Ghost Face's suggestion but asked.
Ghost Face nodded in admiration, "Surviving under the onslaught of so many forces, and even turning the tables on your enemies, is truly comndable!"
After a pause, Ghost Face spoke, "On that note, I have to say thank you!"
Xiao Tian was confused: "Thank you for what?"
Ghost Face slowly explained, "At the ti you were besieged by nurous forces, quite a few black market casinos set up bets concerning you, whether you could survive the crisis."
"How much did you win then?" Xiao Tian asked, puzzled, as Ghost Face wasn't soone short of money. For him to express gratitude ant he'd won quite a sum!
