Chapter 404: Chapter 281: Goodbye Dad_2

Fu Tingzhou’s eyebrows slightly raised, his eyes darkening.

The man bent over, picking up the bracelet from the ground.

Tang Xi thought he was going to be angry and quickly stood up to shield the girl, ready to fight to the death if he dared to touch her daughter. Fu Tingzhou did not expect this mother and daughter duo to pull such a stunt this early in the morning, but at this moment, he was not in the mood to lose his temper; instead, he simply raised his hand to rub his brow.

Although the two of them were crying noisily, and now Tang Xi put on a desperate front as if she were facing a flood or a fierce beast, Fu Tingzhou felt a touch of liveliness in the cold and unfamiliar CEO suite.

This was something he had not experienced before.

Tang Xi’s chest heaved as she watched Fu Tingzhou protectively holding her daughter with one hand, but she did not burst into the rage she had expected. The man in front of her simply held the bracelet in his hand and glanced at the time, "In twenty minutes you’ll be late. Hurry up, or don’t bother going to school today."

Tang Xi let out a soft exclamation.

Watching as Fu Tingzhou went back to his own room, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Still somewhat unable to react.

How could his temperament be so unfathomable?

She didn’t dare think too much about it. Relying on this man for a living was a matter of life and death.

She straightened her daughter’s collar and warned her not to anger Fu Tingzhou anymore.

"Let’s go eat, and then head to school."

-

This breakfast was settled in the car.

Fu Tingzhou drove Tangtang to school, Tang Xi and her daughter sat in the back, with her alternating glances between the passing scenery outside the window and the man driving.

Fearing that Fu Tingzhou would simply drive away and leave her and Tangtang behind.

The man drove steadily through the streets and alleys.

Finally arriving at the kindergarten entrance.

Tangtang had also finished her last sip of milk.

She hugged Tang Xi, "Mommy, see you."

As she spoke, she kissed Tang Xi on the cheek.

Fu Tingzhou got out of the car, opened the door, and as the girl jumped out and hadn’t yet run into the school, she was suddenly lifted by the scruff of her neck by Fu Tingzhou.

Tang Xi watched the scene nervously, her voice tightened, "What are you doing?"

But Fu Tingzhou just bent down and brought his face close.

Tangtang was somewhat afraid of this uncle, but seeing his face drawing near, she hesitantly planted a kiss, "Uncle, goodbye."

Fu Tingzhou’s voice was husky, dissatisfied with the address, "Call me what?"

Tangtang turned around to look at Tang Xi, seemingly seeking her opinion.

Tang Xi, though reluctant, could only nod in agreement.

After all, who dared to provoke authority?

Tangtang swallowed and with a milky voice seriously called out, "Daddy, goodbye."

Then she ran off to school.

Fu Tingzhou’s eyes and eyebrows relaxed.

A faint smile formed on his lips.

He got back into the car.

He slowly started the vehicle, "I’ll stay on the island for about another month. Next month, Tangtang will return to North City with me. Whether you wish to return or not is up to you."

Tang Xi’s face paled suddenly, her chest panged with pain, "Fu Tingzhou, what are you trying to do?"

"North City is my home. It’s only natural for me to return. Or do you think I should let my offspring live on this tiny island for a lifetime? I’ve already said, it doesn’t matter to me whether you go back or not; I’m just here to inform you." The man’s tone was hoarse and casual, indeed carrying the air of a superior making an announcement.

Tang Xi remained silent.

She leaned back in the seat, quiet.

She knew that her words held no sway in front of Fu Tingzhou.

Except for obedience, she had no other choice.

The man drove the car into a breakfast alley.

Tang Xi followed him out of the car and to a breakfast stall.

It was around 8:50 in the morning.

There were many people having breakfast.

All around the corners of small alleys.

There were about a dozen tables set up by the street stalls.

Fu Tingzhou was dressed in a black casual outfit, but his distinguished demeanor didn’t fit in with the surroundings.

However, when Tang Xi saw him sit down and order two servings of tofu pudding, her brows twitched. Was he really planning to eat at a street stall?

And he ordered two servings?

She hesitated for a moment before sitting down.

The stall owner quickly brought over two servings of tofu pudding and a serving of small pickled vegetables with enthusiasm.

Fu Tingzhou raised his cold and resolute chin, glancing at Tang Xi.

Tang Xi pursed her lips slightly and, tentatively, handed him a pair of disposable chopsticks and a spoon.

The man took them indifferently and began to eat.

Tang Xi, "....."

He really took her as an assistant.

There was also a serving in front of her. Was it meant for her?

Tang Xi had eaten two steamed buns on the way and wasn’t hungry, but now, sitting at this breakfast stall with a strong local flavor, her appetite couldn’t help but emerge. She bowed her head and began to eat.

The tofu pudding was smooth, and it went well with the refreshingly savory pickled vegetables.

After the meal, the stall owner came over to settle the bill.

"For both of you, the total is 15 yuan."

Fu Tingzhou glanced at Tang Xi, signaling her to pay.

Tang Xi subconsciously touched her pocket, then stuttered, "I... I lost my phone..."

The stall owner’s expression changed slightly, observing that both of them were decently dressed, especially the man who exuded an extraordinary air, they didn’t seem like the type who would be without a few bucks.

Fu Tingzhou’s phone was left in the car.

Tang Xi retrieved the phone and paid the bill.

On the way back, Tang Xi couldn’t help but break the silence in the car, "Fu Tingzhou, I will go with you, I will return to North City. But I want to stay by my daughter’s side. As long as I can stay with her, I’ll do anything you ask."

Fu Tingzhou seemed quite satisfied with her answer.

Arrogantly, he tilted up his chin.

Tang Xi slowly lowered her gaze.

Going back was fine, her home was in North City anyhow.

She grew up in North City from a young age, more than twenty years.

By returning, she would not need to lead a secretive life anymore, and she could also visit Tang’s mother and see Shiyue.

As for the Su Family...

She bit her lip; she would never have anything to do with the Su Family for the rest of her life.

-

Fu Tingzhou parked the car properly. He didn’t seem to plan to stay long so he stopped the car at a temporary parking space by the side of the road and said to Tang Xi, "Follow," then strode forward.

Tang Xi followed him all the way to a mobile phone shop.

Fu Tingzhou raised his hand and pointed to a model, "This one, white, take it out for her."
