Chapter 403: Tang Zhimo Is Extremely Intelligent (II)

Xi Ji was reluctant to place Zhimo in such a dangerous position either but he knew that the two children would be exposed to greater risk if the other person failed to acquire the boy’s hair.

Unless he hid the two children away forever from his mother. However, the children were not his own, so he could not take matters into his own hands.

“Don’t worry, nothing will happen to me.” Tang Zhimo appeared exceptionally relaxed, not a hint of concern or fear was revealed on his face.

“Just take good care of Younger Sister.” The only worry he had was about his darling sister. His mother and younger sister were both equally important in his heart.

Xi Ji gestured to him an OK before walking over to Zhimo and picked the girl into his arms. “Darling, let’s skip school today. Papa Xi will bring you out to play.”

“Really? That’s great.” Every child loved to play, Tang Zhixi included. A big grin appeared on her face almost immediately.

She shouted when she noticed her elder brother still walking toward the kindergarten. “Elder Brother, we don’t have to go to school today. Let’s go play.”

“Zhixi, there’s something I need to do here. Papa Xi will bring you to play and you can come pick me up together later, okay?” The boy tried to persuade the little girl.

Her face fell instantly. “No, I want to be with Elder Brother. I’m not leaving if you’re not.”

She tried to break free from Xi Ji’s arms as she spoke. She started wailing once that was to no avail. “Elder Brother, don’t you want Zhixi anymore? If so, then I’ll, I’ll cry myself to death…”

The little girl’s way of blackmailing was rather unique.

Of course, she was not only giving empty words. The little girl began crying aloud before her voice trailed off.

In a matter of seconds, her tiny face was covered with tears.

Xi Ji was stunned. The little girl could act out a crying scene without the a.s.sistance of any prop.

This was not a situation of life and death. Did she really need to cry her eyes out?

Zhimo initially planned to ignore her, thinking that the little girl would stop after a couple of seconds. However, he could not bring himself to bear the “hysterical” wailing thus he paused in his tracks eventually. He looked over his shoulder, only to find the little girl’s face wet with tears. A silent sigh escaped his lips.

“Just let her come with.” Once again, he surrendered under the little girl’s devilish voice.

A frown formed between Xi Ji’s eyebrows as a hint of concern flashed across his face.

“Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on her. Nothing will happen.” Zhimo’s voice was laced with determination.

He would never allow his younger sister to be harmed under any circ.u.mstance.

Xi Ji had no choice but to put the girl down.

The minute her feet touched the ground, she darted toward her brother and wrapped her arms around his neck. The tears and snot on her face were transferred onto the little boy as she kissed his cheeks.

The boy’s lips twitched. He reckoned the little girl did that intentionally.

Despite that, he could only sigh silently, completely indulging her in her spoiled behavior. She was his younger sister, after all.

“Let’s go.” He helped remove the tears from her face before holding her hand and headed toward the kindergarten together.

He noticed a strange man approaching them not long after they entered the kindergarten.

Zhimo’s alert heightened upon remembering Xi Ji’s words and subconsciously grasped his younger sister’s hand tighter.
