This… wasn’t this taking things a bit too far?
Sister Hua kept stepping closer to Xiao Xi until she stood right before him. She gently brushed her hair back, her lips parting slightly.
“Oh? What’s the matter? Is my little cutie unwilling?”
‘She makes it sound like I’m someone who casually calls others strange names. How could I just call someone “Mom”!’
“Mmph…” Xiao Xi turned away reluctantly. Although he really wanted Sister Hua’s help, this request was absolutely unacceptable—at least not without some guarantee.
What if after he called her, she went back on her word? Or what if, as soon as he said it, Sister Hua crossed her arms and laughed, “You didn’t take that seriously, did you, Xiao Xi? Hehe… I’ll have to tell President Yuan about this~” What would he do then?
If Sister Yuan found out about this, would he even survive? And Sister Hua, what kind of strange kink is that? Why insist on being called “Mom”? If it were Sister, daring to call her “Mom” would get him beaten up for being sarcastic.
Xiao Xi was torn. So, should he say it or not?
“I-I need some insurance. What if you tell Sister about this?”
Xiao Xi’s suspicious look made Luo Chenhua laugh. Pfft—this little guy was quite vigilant, but… not very smart~ A bit silly~
“Don’t worry. If I let Shi Yuan find out I made you call me ‘Mom,’ she’d definitely chop me up first. Why would I do something that hurts myself as much as it hurts you? So… go ahead and call me~”
Sister Hua looked at Xiao Xi expectantly.
This expectant look—what was that about!
“Why… why do you insist on me calling you that? You’re not that old, Sister Hua, right?”
Xiao Xi reluctantly searched for excuses. Sister Hua blinked.
Hmm… that was a good question.
“Uh…”
Sister Hua stroked her chin in thought. Suddenly, inspiration struck. She turned around, speaking with righteous confidence:
“Well, you see… Xiao Xi, weren’t you called to school for a parent meeting? I’m going to pretend to be your parent, so I need to get into character, don’t I? You call me ‘Mom’ first to get used to it, so we don’t slip up!”
Mmph…
Although it sounded reasonable, it was clearly just made up on the spot!
Don’t look at me with that confident gaze! I can tell! I’m not that dumb!
Xiao Xi lowered his head in speechlessness, feeling looked down upon. Wuwu…
Well, Sister Hua did have a point. Since she was going to pretend to be his parent, it was good to practice first.
He had no better option now. He could only rely on Sister Hua. Besides, it was just one call…
Just… consider it thanks for her help earlier.
“Mom… Mom…”
Xiao Xi lowered his head, his voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz. Mmph… this was way too embarrassing! His mom worked abroad and he rarely saw her, so he almost never had a chance to say “Mom”… but now…
Wu—
“Pfft—Xiao Xi, whimpering in embarrassment while calling me ‘Mom,’ how cute~ Mommy is here~ Don’t be shy~.”
Sister Hua patted Xiao Xi’s head, looking very satisfied. That was bad—if she was satisfied, he must have lost!
But what could he do?
Xiao Xi was completely helpless against Luo Chenhua anyway.
He had to salvage some dignity. At the very least, he needed to create the illusion that he was forced to call her ‘Mom’ under duress.
“Alright, I’ve said it. Hurry up and go to school with me…”
Xiao Xi stubbornly stood up, grabbed Sister Hua’s hand, and rushed to leave. Sister Hua followed with a smile, but she didn’t walk quickly at all, as if deliberately letting Xiao Xi pull her along.
Xiao Xi originally planned to let go after a few steps so Sister Hua would naturally speed up, but—
After two steps, he realized it was impossible. Sister Hua deliberately held him back, walking slowly. If he didn’t pull her, they wouldn’t get anywhere. When would they ever reach school?
But if he let go, Sister Hua would stop entirely, standing there with her arms crossed, smirking at him.
Mmph…
“Let’s go, Sister Hua…” Xiao Xi hopped anxiously. Sister Hua wasn’t worried at all; instead, she raised the stakes.
“Starting now, until this is over, Xiao Xi has to keep calling me ‘Mom.’ Otherwise, I’m not going~ I’m afraid I’ll slip up in front of your teacher too~”
“This…”
Xiao Xi was at a loss for words. This request was too much!
At least wait until we get to school!
Mmph…
Wronged, Xiao Xi turned away. Was this his fate when he had no way out? Mmph… No, from now on, he needed to always have a backup plan, or else he’d end up like today—being caught by the short hairs and bullied mercilessly!
“Sister Hua… let’s… go.”
“Oh?” Sister Hua raised an eyebrow, then pouted like a kitten.
“Mom… let’s go, wuwu…”
Xiao Xi coaxed and pleaded until Sister Hua finally moved. He had to admit, Sister Hua was indeed Sister Yuan’s secretary—once she seized the initiative, she never let up, just like her.
How should he put it…
Birds of a feather flock together?
Emm…
Shi Xi pushed Sister Hua all the way to the company lobby. He took out his phone to call a ride, but Sister Hua glanced at his screen and couldn’t help smacking him on the head.
“Mmph—What was that for!” Xiao Xi protested, looking up defiantly.
Sister Hua pulled a car key from her bag. Xiao Xi didn’t recognize the logo, but he felt…
It was expensive.
She pressed a button near the parking spot, and a luxurious white car’s unlock chime sounded. Xiao Xi was stunned.
“Idiot, we have a car. Why call a ride?”
“Ah… this…”
He had to admit…
It was pretty convenient!
Opening the door, Sister Hua sat in the driver’s seat and looked back…
Xiao Xi had gotten into the back seat!
“Xiao Xi! I’m your temporary mom, not a chauffeur. Get in the front passenger seat!”
“Oh… oh!”
Xiao Xi quickly nodded and moved to the front seat, fastening his seatbelt. They were ready to go!
Of course, before setting off…
She first pinched Xiao Xi’s fair, tender thigh!
Slurp slurp—
“Sister Hua!”
Xiao Xi blushed and protested loudly. This was sexual harassment, plain and simple! Would have been better to take a ride-hailing service! At least the platform offered some safety guarantees!
Xiao Xi was starting to get scared. Would Sister Hua actually take him to school? Or was she going to drag him to some deserted place and…
Help… Help! Before Xiao Xi could finish his thought, Sister Hua floored the accelerator and they were off!
It was over. His escape route was cut off. What now? The car was already moving? Should he jump out? That was dangerous…
Damn!
He’d have to leave it to fate…
“Xiao Xi! You have to call me ‘Mom’ now!”
