I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 961 - 976: Good Husband

"Um... A good husband means the one your parents chose for you!"

"Oh... The husband my parents chose for me! Is he handsome and amazing?"

Ye Chen was taken aback, is this little girl silly?

The husband your parents choose is, of course, amazing, and very amazing!

Ye Chen didn't want to discourage the little girl, so he casually fobbed her off, saying, "Of course, the one your parents choose is naturally amazing! But you're still too young. When you grow up, you'll understand!"

"Oh!"

The little girl looked down at the picture book in her hands, seemingly lost in thought, I wonder what she's thinking about.

"Cough cough, you still haven't told me, where is your home?" Ye Chen coughed and asked.

"In the neighborhood next to my house!" The little girl said.

"Oh, right, Xiao Wang Chen, I haven't asked you, how old are you?"

The little girl looked up at Ye Chen and said, "My name is Wang Xiao, I'm eight years old, and I haven't received my household registration certificate yet!"

Ye Chen said, "Eight years old? You just started middle school? No way? Are you going to university this early?"

"Yeah!"

"Where are your family members?"

"My parents are both from out of town, and we don't have money at home, so I dropped out to work and earn tuition fees!" Wang Xiao explained.

"I didn't expect your family to be quite poor!" Ye Chen said.

"You're the poor one!"

Wang Xiao glared at Ye Chen, then lowered her head, continued flipping through the picture book, and ignored Ye Chen.

"Uh... I seem to have said the wrong thing, don't mind it!" Ye Chen scratched his head and said.

Wang Xiao said nothing and continued to bury her head in studying the picture book in her hands. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Ye Chen simply picked up a picture book and started reading.

The picture book featured an oil painting.

It depicted a young boy in his prime, practicing horseback riding on a chestnut horse.

This boy is Wang Xiao.

Ye Chen imagined Wang Xiao's appearance and couldn't help but admire, "Such innate talent! Little girl, you are a pure gem. If you were taken out, you'd surely amaze the world."

"Hmm!"

"Little girl, are you a bit unconvinced?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.

Wang Xiao shook her head: "No!"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Since not, should you call me Master?"

"Master!"

"Good disciple, come on, call a few more times for me to hear!" Ye Chen said.

Wang Xiao glanced at Ye Chen and said, "How many calls do you want?"

"Just call whenever you feel like it!"

"Alright!"

Wang Xiao pursed her lips with a smile and called out, "Brother Ye Chen..."

Upon hearing Wang Xiao's address, Ye Chen instantly felt a bit confused, feeling a bit out of sorts.

Gosh, I'm only five minutes older than her, okay? Calling me brother? Do I look that old?

This little girl is really surprising, calling me brother.

But, thinking that she's not yet an adult, there's no need to quibble with her.

So Ye Chen said, "Good disciple, from now on, just call me Brother Ye Chen!"

"Okay!"

"Alright, hurry up and eat, have a good rest after eating, I should be leaving too!" Ye Chen said.

"Okay!"

Wang Xiao responded obediently, then walked to the dining table and sat down.

Ye Chen sat down and asked Wang Xiao, "By the way, what do your parents do for work?"

"My father works at the City Center Hospital, and my mother is a teacher at a university, they're both very busy." Wang Xiao said.

Ye Chen said, "Who usually spends time with you then?"

"My mom is really busy, no time to play with me! Only me and my sister play at home!" Wang Xiao said.

"Oh!" Ye Chen nodded.

"By the way, Brother Ye Chen, there's no TV here, I want to buy a computer, can you help me get one?"

"You want to buy a computer?" Ye Chen asked in confusion.

"Yes, Brother Ye Chen, please be kind, you're a doctor, you should be good at technical stuff." Wang Xiao pleaded.

Ye Chen smiled wryly. Although he's a university teacher domestically, he hasn't learned any technical skills, and he's not in the IT industry, so what technical skills would he have?

"Little girl, I see your body's quite strong, why not learn to drive? That way, you won't have to worry about your parents being concerned!" Ye Chen suggested.

Wang Xiao shook her head and said, "No way!"

"Why not?" Ye Chen asked suspiciously.

"I don't know how to drive!"

"No worries, I'll teach you!" Ye Chen said with a smile.

"I don't want others to say I rely on you for a living!"

Wang Xiao's voice was a bit muffled, but she didn't refute.

Ye Chen smiled slightly, "Alright, later I'll drop you off at school every morning and pick you up after school, is that okay?"

"Okay, sorry for the trouble!" Wang Xiao nodded.

Ye Chen didn't refuse, after all, he's idle anyway.

Ye Chen stood up and said, "Start packing your stuff, I'll go to school for registration first!"

"Hmm!"

Ye Chen returned to his bedroom, changed his clothes, and was ready to leave.

"Brother Ye Chen!"

As soon as he reached the door, Wang Xiao suddenly called out.

Ye Chen turned around and asked, "Little girl, what's up? Got anything to say?"

"I want you to accompany me to the supermarket to buy groceries, is that alright?" Wang Xiao asked.

"No problem, I'm bored anyway, let's go! But let me make it clear, today's my treat, so I won't be shelling out any cash!"

"I know!" Wang Xiao said sweetly with a smile.

"Then let's go!"

...

The two went to a nearby supermarket to buy groceries and then returned to Wang Xiao's rented place.

As soon as they entered, Ye Chen saw many snacks inside the house.

He asked in confusion, "Did you buy these yourself?"

Wang Xiao nodded.

"I remember you seem to have just started kindergarten, how come you know how to buy snacks?" Ye Chen couldn't help but ask.

"I like eating snacks, so I went to the supermarket near school and bought a lot. Anyway, the money's spent, there's no way to refund!" Wang Xiao shrugged.

Ye Chen chuckled, this girl's character is pretty good, not pampered, not willful, quite suitable for him.

"Then you can come play with me often!" Ye Chen said with a smile.

"Okay!"

Ye Chen washed some fruit, cut an apple, and handed it to Wang Xiao, saying, "Here, have a taste!"

Wang Xiao took the apple, took a bite, and a sweet taste filled her mouth.

Wang Xiao licked her little tongue, showing a satisfied expression.

"You like it? I'll bring you some every day!" Ye Chen said.

Wang Xiao looked at Ye Chen, her face blushing with a hint of shyness, nodding lightly.
