Chapter 93: Clinging and Acting Cute
Early the next morning, Xiao Yun received a call from Ouyang Bing while on his way to the Fragrant Flower Shop.
Clearly, Ouyang Bing had not slept all night due to the urgent interrogation of that group, and her voice sounded very tired. "Xiao Yun, thank you so much!"
"Haha... My dear wife, what do you need to thank me for?" Xiao Yun began his usual flirtatious banter.
"Beast, can't you just keep your mouth shut?" However, Xiao Yun could tell that Ouyang Bing's tone this time showed no real resentment towards him; in fact, it even carried a hint of playfulness.
She then said on the phone, "But really, I am very grateful for your help last night. Otherwise, facing those Desperados, I can't imagine what would have happened to me."
"What kind of people are they? Why did they come after you so viciously?"
"Recently, I arrested the leader of a drug trafficking group, and these people are his subordinates seeking revenge. We had just left home when they targeted us."
"Hehe, it seems that being a good police officer is not easy!"
"By the way,"
Ouyang Bing hesitated for a moment and said, "Please don't tell anyone about my true relationship with Xiaomei. Uh, also... I really trust your abilities and hope you can help me find a way to cure Xiaomei's strange illness."
Xiao Yun understood Ouyang Bing's concerns. Jokingly, if people found out that her sister was actually her stepmother, wouldn't they look at her like she was some kind of monster?
After all, who in this world calls their stepmother "sister"?
People can be cruel; words can be sharp. If that were to happen, Ouyang Bing would indeed have a hard time at work.
"Don't worry; this matter will only be known by heaven and earth, you and me. As for Xiaomei's condition, I'll find a way. After all, she's my Cousin Sister, right, dear wife?"
"Beast! Can you be any more shameless?" Ouyang Bing snapped back.
Xiao Yun smiled lightly, wondering what it meant to be even more shameless.
Was it hinting that he should take another step forward?
...
Upon arriving at the Fragrant Flower Shop, Xiao Yun was surprised to see Duan Haoran there as well. However, this time Gu Tianfeng and An Yiran were not by his side.
Of course, as a billionaire from Galaxy City, it was impossible for him to go out alone. Two men dressed in black and wearing sunglasses stood at a distance outside the Fragrant Flower Shop, clearly acting as Duan Haoran's bodyguards.
"Xiao Yun is here! Come sit down; we've been waiting for you for a while!"
Seeing Xiao Yun, an indescribable joy spread across Duan Haoran's face as he personally offered a chair to him.
"Thank you, Mr. Duan!" Xiao Yun replied.
"Haha, look at you, still so polite!" Duan Haoran said, but inwardly he sighed, wishing to hear Xiao Yun call him 'grandfather.'
At that moment, Duan Qingxue smiled and said, "Xiao Yun, I heard you adopted a little girl yesterday?"
As soon as she spoke, Duan Haoran furrowed his brows slightly and asked, "Xiao Yun adopted a little girl? What... what is going on?"
Xiao Yun knew that Fang Xiaolu must have called to inform Duan Qingxue about Little One.
Fortunately, when he sent Little One to Fang Xiaolu's place, he hadn't revealed the backstory. On the way there, he had also warned Little One not to mention anything about the "bomb" to anyone.
After all, this matter involved Duan Qingxue, and he was afraid she would worry about him.
To avoid alerting anyone unnecessarily, Xiao Yun didn't want to tell Duan Haoran about Dark Fragrance either. He wanted to wait for an opportunity for this person to reveal themselves and see what their true motives for infiltrating the Duan Family were—whether the mastermind was Zhou Jinian or Wilson.
He sensed that there was definitely a huge conspiracy hidden behind this.
Xiao Yun was not someone who liked to meddle in other people's affairs, but his natural curiosity was simply too strong.
A person with an overwhelming curiosity will feel uncomfortable if you don't let them get involved—people are sometimes a combination of both a spear and a shield.
Moreover, Duan Haoran was his grandfather!
When Xiao Yun heard Duan Qingxue ask about Little One, he smiled and said, "Hehe, I ran into her on the street. She’s just a little girl, all alone without parents. She looked quite pitiful, so I brought her back."
"However,"
Duan Qingxue smiled and said, "Speaking of this matter, we should thank the director of City People's Hospital, Huang Siyuan!"
"Why should we thank him?" Xiao Yun was taken aback.
Duan Qingxue laughed, "After you sent that child to Xiao Lu's house, her mother Zhu Wanyu took a liking to her and wanted her to be Xiao Lu's sister. She named her Fang Xiaozhen. But to enroll the child in school, she needed a household registration. Zhu Wanyu approached Huang Siyuan—Huang Siyuan has a brother who is the director at the city police station. He resolved this matter on the same day!"
Wow, in this day and age, as long as you know someone, everything becomes easier.
Xiao Yun also knew that Huang Siyuan was someone who wouldn't help without a motive; he probably had his own reasons for assisting Zhu Wanyu.
Duan Haoran secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In his eyes, Xiao Yun was still his grandson—a young unmarried man adopting a little girl was ultimately unfair to Qingxue.
"Xiao Yun, I came to the flower shop this time to tell you that Wilson will arrive in Galaxy City tomorrow. According to my previous promise to him, I will host a welcome banquet for him the day after tomorrow at noon. Actually, during this banquet, he will formally propose to Qingxue and take her away. What do you think about this?"
When Duan Haoran finished speaking, he fixed his gaze on Xiao Yun's facial expression to gauge his reaction.
Duan Haoran intended to pass the ball to Xiao Yun to test how much courage and determination his grandson had in pursuing Duan Qingxue.
Xiao Yun smiled lightly and said, "Old Master Duan, I understand your intention. You can hold the welcome banquet as planned; as for whether Wilson can take her away, that depends on his abilities!"
"Qingxue," Duan Haoran turned his gaze toward Duan Qingxue and sighed, "I’m sorry for putting you in this position; you must still be blaming your grandfather in your heart, right?"
"Duan Qingxue" smiled and said, "Grandfather, you had your own reasons back then. I don't blame you!"
"Duan Haoran" smiled with relief and turned to "Xiao Yun," saying, "Xiao Yun, if it weren't for your timely rescue, this old man might never have seen the light of day again. The day after tomorrow, I will invite you to a banquet to thank you for saving my life. As for what comes next, you'll have to handle that yourself!"
"Xiao Yun" nodded and replied, "Thank you, Old Master Duan, for your kindness!"
"Sigh, Xiao Yun," Old Master Duan said with a serious expression, "this Wilson actually has quite a bit of influence in Huaxia. You need to be careful. And those troublemakers from the Duan Family probably won't let you off easily either..."
Xiao Yun laughed and said, "Please don't worry, Old Master Duan. I'm someone who is more afraid of hard tactics than soft ones. For Qingxue, I won't be afraid of anything!"
His words filled "Duan Qingxue" with a warm feeling, and her eyes slightly glistened.
Only "Duan Haoran" sighed inwardly, thinking that Xiao Yun was still too young; the fearless nature of youth could be problematic when facing someone like Wilson.
"Duan Haoran" originally didn't want to approve of "Xiao Yun" pursuing "Duan Qingxue." He intended to follow through with his original plan of marrying "Duan Qingxue" off to Wilson. It wasn't that he wanted to cling to Wilson's power; he was just worried that Xiao Yun wouldn't be able to handle him. However, he had already hurt "Duan Qingxue's" heart once and didn't want to cause her any more pain...
After chatting for a while longer, "Duan Haoran" excused himself as he had many other matters to attend to.
Just as "Duan Haoran" turned to leave, unexpectedly, "Duan Qingxue" suddenly smiled mysteriously at "Xiao Yun" and asked, "Xiao Yun, I'm two years older than you. Do you really like me?"
"Xiao Yun" was taken aback but smiled and replied, "Of course! What's the difference if you're two years older? Ten years would be even better; then I could spoil you more easily!"
"Hmph," "Duan Qingxue" blushed and retorted playfully, "You're just good with words! Tell me, how many women do you like around you?"
