Chapter 662 - 294: I’m His Confidante, Just Like You, Sister

"Okay."

Seeing it was Xu Yun, Song Xiaowei agreed with a smile, pulled open the car door, and got into the passenger seat.

Everyone watched the G-Wagon drive off, their eyes filled with envy.

A luxury car for a beautiful woman. That saying was absolutely true!

In the car, Song Xiaowei took off her face mask and said happily, "Where should we go shopping? What do you want to buy?"

"Let’s go to Jiangshang Mall. First, to buy you some clothes or makeup."

Xu Yun said with a smile, "And second, to help me pick out a gift for my teacher and her daughter. She’s about two or three years older than you."

"Okay."

When they arrived at the mall, Song Xiaowei put her mask back on.

She and Xu Yun walked hand-in-hand, browsing through the mall.

For Xu Yun’s teacher’s gift, Song Xiaowei used her own experience to suggest buying a Pike fountain pen.

Something worth a few thousand yuan wasn’t excessively expensive, but it was still a suitable gift.

Xu Yun thought that was an excellent suggestion.

To reward her, he went to the Hermes store and bought her a handbag with a six-figure price tag.

Song Xiaowei grinned from ear to ear.

All that was left was picking a gift for his teacher’s daughter.

This was a bit more difficult.

The main problem was that Song Xiaowei didn’t know what the other person liked, and Xu Yun admitted he wasn’t sure either, as he hadn’t seen her in many years.

However, he did remember from their school days that she loved taking pictures for fun and had even joined the photography club.

An idea struck Song Xiaowei. "Why don’t we get her a camera?"

"I don’t know much about them."

"That’s okay, I do."

Song Xiaowei smiled. "At the TV station, I’ve learned a lot about photography, including this kind of camera equipment."

"Alright then, you can pick one out for me."

So, the two of them went to the digital electronics section and browsed the various high-end camera stores.

In the end, after Song Xiaowei’s careful selection, he bought a Sony a9 for the teacher’s daughter, which cost a little over 100,000 yuan.

To an ordinary person, this was a rather expensive gift for a first meeting.

But with Xu Yun’s current wealth, casually giving someone a 100,000-yuan gift was truly no different than giving a gift worth a few bucks.

Besides, she was his respected teacher’s daughter, after all.

Love me, love my dog, as they say.

He had always remembered how kind Teacher Wu was to him during his school days; otherwise, he wouldn’t be acting this way.

Of course, Xu Yun also had Song Xiaowei pick out a Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III for herself. Compared to the one for Teacher Wu’s daughter, this one was significantly more expensive.

It cost over 200,000 yuan.

But for Xu Yun, it was a trivial expense.

After buying all the gifts, Xu Yun was about to drive Song Xiaowei home.

After all, he was going to his teacher’s house for dinner that evening, so he definitely couldn’t eat with her.

But before they could leave, Xu Yun received a call from Fu Baoying.

She had already landed at the airport.

Having no choice, Xu Yun had to turn around and head to the airport to pick her up first.

When he and Song Xiaowei arrived at the airport, they saw Fu Baoying standing in the arrivals hall, holding a little girl’s hand.

Fu Baoying also saw Xu Yun and the woman beside him.

She frowned, then looked down at Xu Xiaozhi and said, "Xiaozhi, when you see Mr. Xu in a moment, just call him ’Daddy,’ understand?"

"Okay, Xiaozhi will remember."

As soon as Xu Yun and Song Xiaowei walked over, Xu Xiaozhi hugged Xu Yun’s leg and shouted happily, "Daddy, Daddy!"

"Xu Xiaozhi."

Xu Yun crouched down, picked her up, and said with a smile, "What are you doing here?"

"!!!"

Standing to the side, Song Xiaowei’s brain completely short-circuited when she heard the little girl call him "Daddy."

’Xu Xiaozhi?’

’Is this Xu Yun’s child?’

’Xu Yun is married and has a child!’

’Doesn’t that make the woman in front of me his wife?’

"When Xiaozhi heard I was coming to find you, she cried and begged to come along."

Fu Baoying explained with a smile in response to Xu Yun’s question. "So I brought her with me."

"Didn’t I ask you to tell me beforehand?"

Xu Yun said, slightly displeased, "What if I wasn’t in Jiangcheng?"

"I just wanted to give you a surprise."

Fu Baoying glanced at Song Xiaowei and said, "I didn’t expect you to be... occupied right now."

Song Xiaowei, assuming Fu Baoying was the main wife, felt so guilty when she looked over that she couldn’t meet her gaze.

’It’s over. Is she going to tear me, the mistress, to shreds right here and now?’

"It is a bit inconvenient."

Xu Yun said, "I’ll take you back to my place to rest for a bit. Then I’ll have Xiaowei take you out for dinner tonight, and you can do some sightseeing too."

"And you?"

"I have other plans tonight."

Xu Yun said, "If you have something to discuss, we can talk about it after I get back."

"Alright."

Fu Baoying smiled at Song Xiaowei and said, "Then my daughter and I will be in your care tonight, Miss Song."

"N-No, it’s no trouble."

Song Xiaowei never imagined Xu Yun would actually dump them on her.

’What is this situation!’

Afterward, they all got in the car.

For a moment, Song Xiaowei didn’t know where she should sit.

’The passenger seat, or the back?’

Fortunately, Fu Baoying made the choice for her by getting into the back seat while holding the little girl.

On the way back, Song Xiaowei was a mess of complicated emotions, not daring to say a word.

Meanwhile, Fu Baoying, Xu Yun, and the little girl chatted happily, just like a family.

’No, they already are a family.’

’I’m the only outsider here in the passenger seat.’

About an hour later, Xu Yun brought them to his lavish penthouse at Jiangcheng Heaven and Earth.

Aside from his garden villa in Hang City, this was his most expensive and finest property in Jiangcheng.

Looking at such a luxurious residence, Fu Baoying felt no surprise at all.

It was only natural for him to have a place like this; anything less wouldn’t match his wealth.

Xu Xiaozhi, on the other hand, was amazed. "Wow, Daddy’s house is so big and pretty! And I can see the big river outside! There are so many boats on it."

"Xiaozhi, that’s the Yangtze River. It’s just as beautiful as our Victoria Harbor."

Fu Baoying walked over and said with a smile, "You can look later. First, come with Mommy to our room and unpack your things, okay?"

"Okay."

Fu Baoying turned to Xu Yun and asked, "Which room will Xiaozhi and I be staying in for the next few days?"

"Any room here, except for the master bedroom. Take your pick."

"Okay." Fu Baoying nodded.

Xu Yun’s words revealed a crucial piece of information.

’This beautiful woman in front of me... it seems she doesn’t live here with Xu Yun!’

’In other words, she’s not the main one.’

After the two of them went upstairs with their suitcases, Xu Yun turned to the still-dazed Song Xiaowei and chuckled, "You’ve been spacing out ever since the airport. What’s on your mind?"

Song Xiaowei whispered, "Are they your...?"

"Don’t worry."

Xu Yun knew Song Xiaowei had misunderstood. He explained, "She’s like you, a confidante. She just lives on Hong Kong Island."

"Then, the little girl?"

"She’s not my child. You could say we adopted her together. She lives with Fu Baoying."

Xu Yun added a warning, "But you can’t mention this in front of the little girl, understand?"

"I understand."

Song Xiaowei promised, "Don’t worry, I won’t say a thing."

"Alright then. Help me take care of them tonight until I get back."

Xu Yun glanced at the time and said, "It’s getting late, so I’m heading out now."

"Okay, you should go."

Knowing that the other woman wasn’t the "main one" and was in a similar position to herself, Song Xiaowei breathed a huge sigh of relief.

She smiled. "I’ll take good care of them."

Not long after Xu Yun left, Fu Baoying finished unpacking and came downstairs.

"Has Xu Yun left already?"

"Yes, he has."

Looking again at the charismatic woman before her, Song Xiaowei’s mindset had changed.

She said, "Miss Fu, if you need anything at all, please let me know. I’ll be here until Xu Yun gets back."

"Miss Song, are you his secretary?"

"No."

Song Xiaowei smiled. "Like you, I’m also one of his confidantes."

"Oh."

Fu Baoying understood immediately.

’It seems that while I was upstairs, Xu Yun must have explained my identity to her.’

"There’s nothing else."

Fu Baoying said with a smile, "Let’s go out to eat after Xiaozhi wakes up from her nap."
