Chapter 4- This Man Is Weird
translator: Oyen editor: Larkspur
Lin Qingqing subconsciously turned to look over only to see a black SUV parked on the other side of the road. A man in a suit came out of the driver seat, trotted to the back, and opened the door.
Then, a tall and big man slowly stepped down.
He was wearing a brown overcoat over a western suit and trousers, which was ironed crisp without a crease in sight. The color of his suit was black, it complemented his white shirt and black tie. His clothes did not have many adornments, emanating an immaculate vibe. However, even a person like her who had no concept of brands could feel that his attire was of high quality and definitely not the kind that could be seen on the streets.
Lin Qingqing had been living with her father ever since her parents divorced. Her father was successful in his career and paid attention to his clothes. But his taste was different from that of the man in front of her. No matter how her father paid attention to his looks, it still carried a kind of nouveau riche vulgarity. However, this man’s exquisiteness was inadvertent. It seemed he was born like this and the innate temperament and self-confidence in him were difficult to imitate.
His hair was neatly done, fringes were taken care of with hair gel to accentuate his face, making his profile look like an immortal’s. He was very handsome, not the elegant and delicate type but heroic and fierce. Sharp eyebrows, deep eyes, a straight nose, thin as razor-blade lips, even the lines of the face were defined and angular.
He walked slowly.
The kindergarten teacher saw him and immediately went to the door to greet him respectfully. "Is Mr. Yi here?"
He didn't think highly of himself at all. Instead, he replied humbly, "I'm late, I’ve troubled you."
The kindergarten teacher immediately said, "Mr. Yi is very polite." Then waved at Yi Beiyuan. "Xiao Yuan, your daddy is here. Come over."
Yi Beiyuan came running with his little short legs, greeted his father, and said goodbye to the teacher. Then he pointed to Lin Qingqing's direction and said, "Daddy, that's Auntie Qingqing I told you about. She bought me steamed cakes yesterday. You have to thank her."
The man followed the chubby finger, his face wore a warm smile, clear eyes emanating a sincere feeling. But one did not know why, when his gaze swept over, Lin Qingqing seemed to feel a cold wind from behind, she subconsciously shivered.
This man looked courteous, gentle, and approachable, but he exuded an invisible aura. It seemed that the more humble he was, the more respectful he was to her, and the gentler and more approachable he seemed, the more intimidating he felt to her.
So contradictory but so reasonable.
He smiled at her and said, "Hello, Miss Lin."
Lin Qingqing quickly calmed down and smiled at him."Hello, Mr. Yi."
"I came to pick up Xiao Yuan late yesterday, thank you Miss Lin for accompanying him and buying him food. In order to express my gratitude, why don't we invite Miss Lin for a meal?"
Lin Qingqing said in a hurry, "No, Mr. Yi, you are too polite." She was just about to leave and run away when Yi Beiyuan rushed over and grabbed her by the hand. She leaned back her little head in response.
"Auntie, will you? I want to have dinner with Auntie, " the little one said. His little eyebrows knitted tightly as he looked at her. Somehow, his eyes gave her a feeling that he was longing for his mother's love.
Thinking of how he had lost his mother at such a young age and had only just been very considerate in warming her hands, she couldn't bear to reject him. She looked at the man subconsciously, he was still looking at her. He had a shallow smile on his face and waited patiently for her answer.
Lin Qingqing finally gave in. "All right then."
She looked at her little scooter seemingly contemplating. Sensing her dilemma, the man shot the driver a look who soon put her little scooter into the wide trunk.
The man then held the door open and said, "Miss Lin, please."
Lin Qingqing did not shy away, and thanking him, got in the car. He closed the door and carried the kid into the car from the other side.
Lin Qingqing could see from his clothes and manners that the man must be wealthy. And although he could leave such things as opening the door to the driver, he still did it himself. So gracious, with a good upbringing, it gave people a feeling of being noble yet distant... like the person was beyond one’s reach.
They arrived at a nearby restaurant. Judging from the decoration of the restaurant, the business here was certainly not slow.
The man and the child were sitting opposite her. The former gave her the menu and smiled. "Miss Lin can order whatever you want."
Lin Qingqing wouldn't be so impolite. She hurriedly pushed the menu over and said, "Mr. Yi, just order two dishes."
"Miss Lin is very polite."
While Lin Qingqing thought he meant that she was polite in ordering dishes, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over. She hurriedly took it and read the words: Yi Zeyan, President of Yicheng Group. Then he continued. "My name is Yi Zeyan. Just call me Zeyan. You don't have to be so polite as to call me Mr. Yi."
Lin Qingqing, "——"
Lin Qingqing stole a furtive glance at the man. He took the menu and turned it up. However, there was a kind of natural ease to his words. It seemed that it was normal for her to call him by his name directly. She looked at the child next to him again, the child was also looking at her. In her eyes, he flashed her a grin, a meng smile, like a cooked little dumpling.
Why are this father and son acting so familiar with me?
"The steamed turbot is a signature dish here. How about it?" Mr. Yi asked.
Lin Qingqing said hurriedly, "All right."
What a coincidence, she loves fish a lot!
Soon, Yi Zeyan ordered a few more dishes, not much, just enough for the three of them.
This child Yi Beiyuan seemed to like fish a lot. Holding a large piece of fish, he was carefully plucking the thorns. Lin Qingqing was somewhat surprised. She did not expect a child less than four years to have such strong self-reliance.
While she was thinking about it, she saw that child, Yi Beiyuan, put the fish that had been cleared of thorns into her bowl.
Lin Qingqing, "——" She stared blankly for a moment and then said, "Auntie can do this myself."
The child grinned at her, revealing a row of white teeth. He smiled happily and his eyes narrowed. "Auntie eat."
As Lin Qingqing looked at the piece of fish in the bowl for a while, she was inundated with a surge of emotions. She looked up again, and the little guy across her was taking a bite of his meal. Many children of this age were still being chased by adults in order to be fed, but he was so good that he ate by himself.
Yi Zeyan, who was sitting next to him, reminded him from time to time. "Be balanced and eat more vegetables." And with an “ok” the little guy would obediently pick vegetables to eat each time.
This is the kind of child that parents from other families praise, right? So good, so sweet. Lin Qingqing was reminded of the little one’s words, how his mother didn’t like him and wouldn’t let him near her. She really didn't understand what kind of mother the woman was to disdain such a good child.
After the meal, Lin Qingqing wanted to go her own way, but Yi Zeyan helped her open the car door and said, "We're taking Miss Lin home, it's late."
Yi Beiyuan also chimed with his father. "Daddy and I will not rest assured until Auntie reaches home safely."
Since this place was close to her home, Lin Qingqing did not stand on formalities and immediately complied.
This time it was Yi Zeyan who drove the car. Lin Qingqing and Xiao Yuan still sat at the back. When the child got in the car, he began to feel drowsy, and soon fell asleep in his seat. Fortunately, the car was still warm, and she was not worried that he might catch a cold.
As soon as Xiao Yuan fell asleep, she and Yi Zeyan were the only two people in this SUV. One didn't know if this man's aura was too strong but Lin Qingqing felt a little cramped. She even realised that he seemed to be driving very slow.
"How was your meal?" he suddenly asked.
"Not ... Not bad."
The environment that was too quiet and too peaceful raised the senses countless times. His voice seemed to have been magnified a lot, and she felt more and more restless when it struck in the car. Fortunately, he did not speak again after that. Following her guidance, the car finally reached its destination.
Her elder sister was looking anxiously by the entrance. Lin Qingqing took out her cell phone and checked. Only then did she find that her cell phone was dead, and she didn't know how long her sister had been waiting here.
At the approaching car, though the light at the door wasn’t very bright, she still felt her sister's face seemed a little strange. She(LZZ) stared at the car closely as if she knew she(LQQ) was sitting in the car.
As soon as he stopped the car, Yi Zeyan got out. But Lin Qingqing had already jumped down without waiting for him to open the door for her. She stepped forward and said apologetically, "Sorry Jiejie, I forgot to call you."
Lin Zhenzhen frowned and chided her. "This late, where have you been? Have you eaten yet?"
"I ... have eaten." She remembered that Yi Zeyan was still standing at the side and introduced them to each other.
Lin Zhenzhen glanced at Yi Zeyan and they nodded at each other as a greeting.
"Thank you Mr. Yi for sending me back. It's getting late, Mr. Yi should go home soon."
Yi Zeyan smiled. "Miss Lin is too polite." With that, he got in the car.
The sisters went in together. Fearing that her elder sister would worry she had met a bad person, Lin Qingqing recounted the things that had happened in the past two days. However, Lin Zhenzhen did not seem to be too worried nor asked more questions.
Lin Qingqing went back to the room and took a bath before going to bed. Seeing that the curtain was not drawn, she went to fix it. Her eyes unintentionally swept to the street below. She found that the black SUV was still parked downstairs. It was across the street and blocked by a tree, but she could see it from her perspective.
She saw him leaning against the car and smoking with his head bowed. It seemed he was very skilled at smoking. He bowed his head, took a puff, and looked up at her, his eyes looking right in her direction.
Lin Qingqing felt her heart tighten for a moment, she instinctively drew the curtains close.
What is he doing downstairs? Why hasn't he left yet? He doesn't look like a perverted man who follows a girl ah.
Lin Qingqing couldn't figure it out. She quietly, ever so slightly, parted the curtain and peered through the gap only to find the car had disappeared and the street was quiet. Occasionally, one or two college students came out to look for food.
It was as if the car and the man she just saw were just her illusion.
❃
For the next few days, Lin Qingqing was to deliver to the Teachers’ College behind her restaurant. She was the jockey mainly responsible for the area. This was why she did not go to the Beicheng Aeronautical Engineering Institute, but she missed the child, Xiao Yuan, a little.
At noon that day, she was busy in the restaurant. Suddenly she heard a tender and crisp voice- Auntie. She recognized Xiao Yuan’s voice. She subconsciously looked over and saw the little one standing at the door. He was followed by his tall and handsome father.
Unlike the last time she saw Yi Zeyan in a formal and serious suit, today he was dressed casually, with a gray sweater, a lapel shirt under and a long jacket over it. He had teamed it with casual pants and a pair of low-key black leather shoes.
It was very fashionable but not the young and inexperienced college students kind giving off unworldly publicity. His clothes precipitated a unique charm*. He seemed to stand out no matter what he wore.
[*T/N: really don't know what this means.]
He followed Yi Beiyuan with a slight smile on his lips. "Xiao Yuan hasn't seen you these past few days and misses you very much, so he asked me to take him to see you. We simply barged in, did we trouble Miss Lin?"
He was still gentle, humble, and polite, but Lin Qingqing was still subconsciously respectful when facing him. She said, "No trouble."
Knowing that the father and son had not eaten yet, Lin Qingqing took the two to a private room on the second floor and ordered the kitchen to prepare some special dishes for them.
When the meal was served, Yi Beiyuan took her by the hand and said, "Auntie, will you eat with us? Auntie also wants lunch, right? Just eat with us."
The father and son had arrived a little late, it was already past mealtime, so there were not many people in the restaurant and she didn't need to help out. Lin Qingqing thought for a moment, then sat down beside him, touched his head, and said, "Yes, Auntie will accompany you."
He seemed to enjoy being touched on the head by her, rubbed his head twice in her hand, and then smiled happily with his head tilted.
The child ate without worry, and he was not a picky eater. Lin Qingqing watched him put the rice into his mouth and couldn't help praising him, "Xiao Yuan is really good, ah."
"Really?" The little guy was very happy. "Does Auntie really think I am very good?"
Lin Qingqing nodded affirmatively.
Almost without thinking, the little one immediately said, "Since Auntie thinks I am very good, how about Auntie be my mommy?"
Lin Qingqing: "Cough, cough, cough." She almost choked to death.
Lin Qingqing looked again, all she saw was the little guy with a serious face and a pair of big eyes eagerly looking at her. His solemn expression was just like the old professor who taught vocal music at her university. Only the rice grains sticking on the corners of his mouth were out of harmony.
What's this kid talking about? Is it possible to say such things as "be a mommy" casually?
She turned to look at Yi Zeyan, the man just rubbed the little fellow’s head, lowered his head and smiled, then looked up at her. The naturally sharp eyes with a smile seemed to be filled with a little tenderness that was not easy to detect.
Suddenly, she remembered the car that had been parked downstairs for a long time that evening and the way the man looked up when he smoked. It was too dark for her to see his expression, but she knew he was looking in her direction.
Lin Qingqing shook her head hastily. She was embarrassed to death at that time, but she was afraid that her refusal would be too direct and would hurt the kid. As such, she could only say with a dry smile, "Xiao Yuan, you can't speak carelessly about this."
Xiao Yuan, on the other hand, said firmly, "I don't speak carelessly. I want Auntie to be my mommy."
This wimpy kid, does he think becoming a mother was that easy? You have to be his father's wife before you can be his mother! She looked at the father again, he was still looking at her, still smiling. It seemed that his angular face also brought a layer of soft light because of such a smile.
Lin Qingqing, "——"
It’s simply...
What is he doing? You’re the father, don't you need to correct him? Why do you let the little guy speak carelessly? His current appearance was simply misleading.

ReplyDelete😂😂😂
The father and son surnamed Yi agreed to try to win Lin Qingqing's heart because they knew she had amnesia, because before the amnesia, she was cold to them. Perhaps it was Lin Qingqing's older sister who told them the situation
