My Wife Suddenly Turns Into A Gangster

Chapter 33 : The Hidden Piece

Xu Ming remained silent for a while as if considering his choice of words towards the little girl. 

In the end, he lightly asked," Is your father good at drawing?"

Xu Mei blinked her eyes upon hearing this. She slightly tilted her head upward trying hard to recall whether she had seen any of her daddy's drawings.

In the end, Xu Mei concluded that she had few memories as she was only four years old so far, therefore she shook her head.

Seeing this, Xu Ming did not wait for her explanation as he replied with a simple 'Oh'.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qin had no artistic sense and passed down this trait to the little girl, what a shame.

Xu Qin who was once again being shot while lying down,"......"

Unlike Xu Qin who could not draw (?) Xu Ming mastered the art of calligraphy and watercolor painting so, in face of an artwork, he had high requirements.

Couple with his poisonous tongue, a lot of people would be antsy whenever they gifted him those related artworks.

Nevertheless, Xu Ming knew that it was normal for a child her age to doodle like this so he gave a simple rub on her head.

Feeling like it was not enough, he then consoled," The message will get across."

Xu Mei,"......" I'm not sure why but I feel a bit insulted.

However, before Xu Mei could even get dejected, she suddenly heard her mother's calm voice asking her," Can I keep this?"

At this question, Xu Mei instantly beamed a smile since it meant that her mother liked her drawing. But the child still remembered that this was to be given to the teacher so she shook her little head, "No, I need to give this to my teacher! Mei'er will draw another one for you!"

She briefly paused before adding with her arms spreading out trying to gesture a really big number," No, not just one but as many as mommy likes!"

Xu Ming’s hand stagnated upon hearing this. Only a few seconds later did he casually issue an 'Mm' in a low voice.

To what kind of mood did Xu Ming have at this moment, no one knew not even himself was able to properly pinpoint it.

Perhaps, pity might be the best word to describe his feelings toward the little girl.

However, Xu Ming knew that staying here simply out of pity was never the answer for him.

It wouldn’t do any good for him or others.

It was brief but a rare period for him to breathe without suffocating…

With this thought, Xu Ming could finally confide his decision in a light mood," I will leave for the business trip this Sunday so it's best to give it to me before then."

Xu Mei did not realize that these were the words of her mother saying that she would leave her and her father.

That's why after hearing this piece of news, Xu Mei simply became saddened at the thought of not seeing her mother for a while.

However, thinking that her mother would come back regardless, Xu Mei forced back her sadness as she cutely asked, "When will you come back?"

The Little girl still remembered that her mother seemed to never tell her the return date for all this time…

Meanwhile, Xu Ming who was asked this question was not flustered as he was fully prepared to face this situation, "Mid-autumn festival."

He could drop by for a visit once in a while, silently thought Xu Ming.
