Chapter 1241 - 831: The Grand Finale: Is It Really So Hard to Say ’I Like You’?

Xiao Meng sighed, walked over, and squatted down, "Your shoelace is loose, why didn’t you tie it? What if you fall?"

"..."

Xiao Xiaoang just looked at Su Xiaomeng squatting in front of him, a faint pleasant fragrance wafted into his little nostrils, making him sniff subconsciously.

Su Xiaomeng found it strange as she tied his shoelaces, lifted her head, and her eyes met Xiao Xiaoang’s at the same level. Seeing the child, all her previous bad mood disappeared.

With a gentle light smile, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Xiaoang quickly turned his head away, touched his nose, and looked elsewhere, saying in his childish voice, "Nothing."

Su Xiaomeng stood up and said to Xiao Yan, "I have nothing more to say to you, I just wanted to find out. I hope when the police start investigating, Doctor Xiao will cooperate fairly and impartially."

After speaking, Xiao Meng glanced at Xiao Ang and smiled,

"Xiao Ang, Auntie is leaving, goodbye."

She waved at him, then walked out of the office, kindly closing the door behind her.

Xiao Xiaoang looked at the closed office door, pouted, and asked Xiao Yan, "Did you have a fight with Su Xiaomeng?"

"..." Xiao Yan furrowed his brows, confused as he looked at Xiao Xiaoang, "How do you know her name is Su Xiaomeng?"

"Last time when you two were talking, I was right beside you." Xiao Xiaoang said as if it was perfectly normal.

Xiao Yan tilted his head, looking at Xiao Xiaoang, and asked, "Do you... like her a lot?"

"No? When did I ever say I liked her? Such a nosy woman, even more so than Pu Yang." Xiao Xiaoang pouted, clearly disdainful.

Xiao Yan just silently watched him, until Xiao Xiaoang started to feel a bit uncomfortable, those little evasive glances...

"Why are you looking at me like that, Xiao Yan, I’m starving! How can I have such an incompetent dad like you?"

Xiao Xiaoang puffed out his cheeks, looking like he’d had the worst luck, Xiao Yan patted his head, "Alright, let’s go eat."

"Hmm... should we clean up here first? Why is this place so messy?"

Xiao Xiaoang glanced at Xiao Yan’s office and asked.

Xiao Yan chuckled, "Let’s fill your stomach first, then we’ll clean up."

"Hehe."

Xiao Xiaoang smiled at Xiao Yan, took off his big backpack, and followed Xiao Yan out of the office.

The big one and the small one both looked exceptionally handsome, Xiao Xiaoang was very popular in the hospital, and when he went in and out with Xiao Yan, many people would greet him and chat with the little guy for a few moments.

But this was mostly because of Xiao Yan’s good rapport in the hospital and Xiao Xiaoang’s outstanding looks.

"Xiao Yan, I want to eat pizza, can we go to Pizza Hut?"

"Pizza again? How many times have you eaten pizza this week?"

"I just like Pizza Hut’s pizza."

"I think you’re eyeing Pizza Hut’s children’s toys, right?" Xiao Yan chuckled, and as soon as he said this, Xiao Xiaoang immediately retorted, "Those children’s toys are so childish, why would I like them?"

"...Oh, well then, today we’ll get the set without toys."

Xiao Yan said.

The expression on Xiao Xiaoang’s face changed noticeably, he seemed to have something to say but then swallowed it.

Xiao Yan noticed, but pretended he didn’t, only smiling to himself.

The big one and the small one entered Pizza Hut, and Xiao Xiaoang immediately looked around. After sitting down, the waiter came over to hand them the menu, and Xiao Xiaoang quickly flipped through it then immediately said to Xiao Yan, "I want that shrimp roll."

"Okay, we’ll have a shrimp roll and..."

Xiao Yan was saying to the waiter, but before he finished, Xiao Xiaoang quickly interrupted, "Dad, this pizza set also includes shrimp rolls, it’s more economical that way."

After Xiao Ang said this, the waiter looked at Xiao Xiaoang with amazement, smiling and saying, "Sir, your son is truly thoughtful. So young and already knows how to save money for Dad."

Hearing the waiter’s compliment, Xiao Xiaoang felt delighted inside but kept a nonchalant expression as if he didn’t care about being praised.

Xiao Yan saw through his son’s pretentiousness, but didn’t say anything, just let out a sigh,

"But we agreed today not to get the set with toys, let’s order separately, then we’ll order another..."

"Dad, it’s not that I want that toy, I just think it’s more cost-effective." Xiao Xiaoang said frankly.

The waiter on the side heard this and suddenly laughed, "So it’s the toy from the set that you wanted, this set is indeed new, and it includes the new Minion toy with wheels."

Xiao Xiaoang gulped, patting the menu where the set was listed, and said,

"Toys are so childish, I’m not interested, Miss, we’ll take this set. My dad and I want to save money."

Xiao Yan sat next to Xiao Xiaoang, watching the little guy’s obvious ulterior motive for the set, yet he still had to put up a front and insist it wasn’t for the toy.

The waiter glanced at Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan nodded slightly in agreement, his gaze at Xiao Ang filled with a father’s affection.

The food arrived, with pizza, shrimp rolls, and drinks all served, but Xiao Xiaoang couldn’t quite sit still, eating shrimp rolls absentmindedly while craning his neck to watch every approaching waiter.

"What are you looking at?"

Xiao Yan asked knowingly.

"Huh? Nothing..."

Xiao Xiaoang still trying to maintain his guise.

Xiao Yan didn’t break it, pushed all the shrimp rolls onto his plate, and just saw the little guy eating with no real interest.

"I’m going to the washroom, stay here and don’t run off, okay?"

"Oh, go ahead." Xiao Xiaoang said to Xiao Yan, casually waving his hand, focusing on eating pizza seriously, and soon after Xiao Yan left, he sneakily eyed the direction head to the bathroom, then quickly jumped up from his seat and walked to a nearby waiter.

"Miss, where’s the Minion that comes with our shrimp roll pizza set?"

"Huh? Wasn’t it brought over?"

"No."

"I’m sorry, little guy, I’ll get it for you right away."

"Yeah, it’s not like I really like the Minion, but my dad did pay for it, so it wouldn’t be right not to get it."

Xiao Xiaoang explained earnestly, causing the waiter to pause for a second, but she still chuckled the next moment.

He nonchalantly returned to his seat, and when Xiao Yan came back, there was a brand new Minion toy on the table.

Xiao Xiaoang continued to eat calmly.

"Is it so hard to just admit you like it?"
