Invincible Dad-Chapter 663: It Would Be a Waste Not to Ride a Tricycle_1

Chapter 663: Chapter 663: It Would Be a Waste Not to Ride a Tricycle_1

Miao Momo decided not to dwell on it.

Glancing at the clearing sky, she said with great earnestness, "Yiyi’s father, there’s something I must discuss with you."

As she spoke, Teacher Miao glanced at Qian Xiao. The boy instantly understood that his teacher was about to tattle on him.

"Teacher Miao, you’re almost thirty! Why are you still a tattletale like a little kid?" Qian Xiao said anxiously.

Twenty-three! I’m only twenty-three this year! How is twenty-something ’almost thirty’?

Miao Momo’s pretty face hardened. "Qian Xiao, shut your mouth."

Then she turned back to Xu Lai. "Yiyi’s father, this matter is very important. I need to talk to you in private. This way, please."

She gestured for him to follow.

Xu Lai smiled. "Alright."

The two stepped aside. Xu Lai noticed Qian Xiao trying to eavesdrop with his Divine Sense. He smirked, and Qian Xiao immediately clutched his head, howling in pain.

"Teacher Miao, please, go ahead," Xu Lai said gently.

"Well, actually..."

Miao Momo suddenly grew bashful. Her face turned red, and she began stomping her foot, struggling to find the words.

"?"

A question mark popped over Xu Lai’s head. "Teacher Miao, my daughter is watching. Please, just say what’s on your mind."

Xu Lai grew a little frantic. If my little Xiao Mian’ao goes home and exaggerates this to Ruan Tang, won’t I end up sleeping on the couch? No, that’s not right. I’d probably be thrown out of the house entirely.

"It’s like this: the day after tomorrow is May 20th, and the school is letting out for a half-day. We’re holding a parent-child event in the afternoon," Miao Momo explained, clasping her hands together. "If it’s convenient, would you and Yiyi’s mother be willing to speak as parent representatives?"

"Parent representatives?"

Xu Lai was stunned. What was that?

"Yiyi is very well-behaved in school. In both math and literacy, she far surpasses the other children. She’s just exceptionally outstanding."

"I’d like for some parents to come on stage and share their methods for educating their children," Miao Momo said seriously. "You see, education isn’t just the school’s responsibility; the family plays a very important role as well."

"I’ll ask her mom when I get back."

Xu Lai hesitated. "But why are you blushing and fidgeting over something so minor?"

"To be honest, I’ve already asked several other parents, and they all politely declined. I was worried you would refuse, too," Miao Momo said, her face growing even redder. "I submitted the application for this parent-child event to the principal half a month ago. I’ll be so embarrassed if no parents agree to speak on stage."

"I see."

"Thank you for understanding," Miao Momo said, thanking him repeatedly.

Xu Lai returned her thanks with a smile and then left the kindergarten with his daughter.

Clutching his head with teary eyes, Qian Xiao whined, "Teacher Miao, what did you and my... uh, Uncle Xu talk about?"

"I’m not telling you." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Teacher Miao, Sister Miao..."

"Oh, you’re impossible."

Miao Momo helplessly recounted what had happened.

Qian Xiao asked tentatively, "Sister Miao, you’re sure you didn’t rat me out?"

Miao Momo gave Qian Xiao a sidelong glance. As if I, Miao Momo, need to explain myself to one of my students. She tapped him on the head. "I’m off duty. See you tomorrow!"

"Miao! Don’t go! I can’t bear to see you leave!" Qian Xiao cried dramatically at the school’s iron gate, his hand reaching out as if trying to grasp her departing figure.

"..."

Miao Momo could feel the complex, peculiar gazes of the female security guards, and her face burned with a strange mix of embarrassment and annoyance. That little brat, Qian Xiao. I’m definitely going to deal with him tomorrow!

「Haitang Court.」

Yiyi sat on the sofa with a bowl of shaved ice, blissfully eating while watching a new anime series cast on the television, her little face beaming with happiness.

Xu Lai was busy in the kitchen, while Ruan Tang was taking a bath in the bathroom.

"What is that? It smells amazing."

Ruan Lan came downstairs dressed in a silk nightgown. The swaying hem of her dress gave her an air of seductive charm. Right now, her eyes were glued to the shaved ice in Xu Yiyi’s hands. "My dear niece, let Auntie have a bite."

"No."

Xu Yiyi covered the glass bowl with her hands.

"Yiyi, haven’t Mommy and Daddy ever told you that you should share good things?" Ruan Lan asked earnestly.

"They... they have."

"Then you should listen to your mommy."

"..."

Xu Yiyi hesitated for a moment before pouting. "Okay... we can split it."

"That’s my girl."

Ruan Lan smiled happily.

A single bowl of shaved ice wasn’t much to begin with, and it looked even smaller after being split in two.

Ruan Lan finished her portion in a few quick bites. Her gaze shifted, as if unintentionally, toward Yiyi’s bowl. The little girl was instantly on guard.

Ruan Lan licked her rosy lips. "Give me one more bite, and I’ll drive out and buy two more bowls, one for each of us."

The shaved ice was simply too delicious. Not only did it melt in your mouth, but it stimulated the taste buds so intensely that it was almost impossible to stop eating. Every spoonful was like a starburst on the tongue. It was reminiscent of the popping candy from her childhood, but in terms of texture and everything else, it was leagues beyond that cheap snack.

"No," Xu Yiyi said, hugging the bowl tightly. "You can’t buy this outside. Daddy made it."

"You little rascal."

Ruan Lan muttered to herself. She knew she couldn’t fool her niece any longer, but she had obtained a crucial piece of intel!

A smile playing on her lips, the sister-in-law sashayed into the kitchen.

Gazing at Xu Lai’s back, Ruan Lan cooed, "Brother-in-law, you must be tired after a long day of work. Let me give you a massage."

"No need."

"Brother-in-laaaaaw~" Ruan Lan whined in a cutesy voice. "We finished the shaved ice you made for Yiyi. Could you make two more servings for us, pretty please?"

"Dinner’s almost ready. Less snacking," Xu Lai said lazily without turning around. "Say one more word and you can forget about dinner. Get out."

Ruan Lan panicked. She wanted dinner, but she wanted the shaved ice, too. Life was for enjoying delicious food! How could she possibly pass up a delicacy like this?

Looks like I have to use my beauty trap again.

"Ah! What’s this big lump on my leg? Brother-in-law, quick, come take a look!" she exclaimed.

Xu Lai finally turned around.

Ruan Lan theatrically tossed her long hair back. Leaning against the kitchen doorframe, she bent over, slowly tracing a finger down her long, fair, and flawless leg.

"?"

A question mark appeared over Xu Lai’s head as he looked at her. "Where’s the lump on your leg?"

"Brother-in-law, do you think my legs are beautiful?" she purred, biting her rosy lip. Her eyes, like pools of spring water, sent electric currents toward Xu Lai.

Xu Lai nodded.

Ruan Lan was overjoyed. I’ve tried to seduce him so many times before and failed! I was starting to think he was blind... But it looks like my stinky brother-in-law finally got his vision back today!

"So, do you want to... touch them?" Ruan Lan raised an eyebrow, her voice dripping with seduction. She noticed his gaze was locked onto her legs, the heat in his eyes almost too much even for her.

"Such beautiful long legs," Xu Lai began, his sparkling eyes clearly about to deliver a torrent of praise. A smirk formed on Ruan Lan’s lips.

Hmph. Men. Finally appreciating this fairy’s beauty, are you? Too bad I’m the woman you’re destined never to have. As soon as I trick you into making two bowls of shaved ice, I’m out of here. Don’t even think about getting anything from me!

Just as Ruan Lan was thinking this, she heard Xu Lai continue his "praise": "It’d be a waste for them not to be pedaling a tricycle."

"Huh???"

Ruan Lan’s mind went blank.

"There’s a recycling station outside our school. The old man who runs it has short legs, and he gets exhausted pedaling his tricycle. You have long legs. You should go help him out when you have time."

Having said his piece, Xu Lai turned back to his cooking.

"..."

Ruan Lan was so furious she nearly coughed up blood. She snatched a kitchen knife, her eyes welling with aggrieved tears. "You damn Xu Lai! Say that again, I dare you! Believe it or not, this fairy will chop you to pieces!"
