Chapter 349: Chapter 350: Brother Dongzi, Won’t You Stay?

More than ten minutes later, Song Xiaodong and Xiao Yingying came out, with Xiao Yingying clinging to Song Xiaodong’s arm, her face flushed shyly and still wearing a sweet smile.

Song Xiaodong, however, was somewhat embarrassed, as although nothing substantial had happened between him and Xiao Yingying in there, the fact that a man and a woman were hiding in the restroom was obviously going to lead to some assumptions. Moreover, Xiao Yingying had been calling herself his little lover, which only made such thoughts even more likely.

Fortunately, everyone pretended not to notice. If it had been anyone else, it surely would have led to some teasing, but now they were somewhat fearful of Song Xiaodong. Each harbored thoughts of asking favors from him, and none dared to offend him. Since they dared not tease, the best strategy was to act as if they had seen nothing.

At this time, Xiao Yingying was very happy. Although nothing substantial had happened with Song Xiaodong, he had at least accepted her role as his little lover, and that made her the happiest.

Therefore, Xiao Yingying quickly started to sing. During breaks, she stayed close to Song Xiaodong, their sweet affection made it awkward for others to approach them.

Later, when everyone left the karaoke lounge, Zhou Peng and the others had wanted to fight over the bill, but before Song Xiaodong could pull out the Supreme Card, the waiter had already announced that the bill was waived. Once Song Xiaodong had visited, the cashier remembered him, and seeing him there, they dared not charge him. Chen Zixu had specifically emphasized that although other Supreme Card holders could be ignored, Song Xiaodong, as a Supreme Card holder, must be remembered.

Chen Zixu treated Song Xiaodong this way firstly because Song Xiaodong had given him a harsh lesson last time, and secondly, he recognized Song Xiaodong’s considerable strength. Even Jin Long, who had always dominated them, had been subdued by Song Xiaodong and had not dare to make a sound. In Tiannan’s underground world, having Song Xiaodong’s support meant he might someday surpass Jin Long to become the top figure.

After parting ways with his classmates, Song Xiaodong hailed a cab and took Xiao Yingying straight home.

Inside the living room, Song Xiaodong saw Xiao Haiqing and Xiao Zhiming.

"Daddy!" Xiao Yingying, like a happy little swallow, went over and hugged Xiao Haiqing’s arm.

Xiao Haiqing, seldom seeing his daughter so happy, was also in a very good mood. He patted Xiao Yingying’s hand and asked, "Where have you been playing?"

"Brother Dongzi took me to his class reunion. It was really fun. I had a great time and sang several songs. Everyone said I sang well, even better than many pop stars. Daddy, how about I become a pop star in the future?"

Xiao Haiqing smiled and said, "Alright, as long as my daughter is happy, I agree to anything."

Xiao Yingying kissed Xiao Haiqing happily and said, "I knew Daddy was the best. I am all sweaty now; I need to take a shower first. Oh, Brother Dongzi, are you staying over at my place tonight?"

Song Xiaodong suddenly darkened his face. Xiao Yingying was boldly suggesting that he stay in front of her father, which shocked Xiao Haiqing as he looked towards him.

"You should go back later."

"Oh... okay then, but come over early tomorrow to give me my injection," Xiao Yingying pouted. She came over, hugged Song Xiaodong’s neck, kissed his cheek, then reluctantly went upstairs.

"Come and sit, let’s chat," Xiao Haiqing called to Song Xiaodong.

Had Song Xiaodong left then, it would seem he was guilty, so he went straight over and sat down.

"You and my daughter are progressing quite fast, aren’t you?" Xiao Haiqing said indifferently.

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "President Xiao, Yingying is my patient, so I am not only responsible for her physical health but also her mental well-being. Currently, Yingying is particularly reliant on me."

Xiao Haiqing narrowed his eyes and said, "Then what does my daughter mean by asking you to stay here?"

Song Xiaodong shrugged his shoulders and said, "President Xiao, given your daughter’s current physical state, what else do you think I could do?"

"Oh, that’s true. But, if Yingying recovers and wants to be with you, I actually have no objections."

This statement was quite straightforward. At that moment, Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "As for future matters, no one can be certain. But rest assured, since I am treating her, I won’t let her health suffer on my account."

"That’s reassuring," Xiao Haiqing nodded and said, "I heard Yingying call you ’Brother Dongzi,’ so I’ll call you Dongzi as well."

Song Xiaodong met Xiao Haiqing’s gaze and smiled slightly, saying, "No problem." A title had brought their relationship closer; previously, Song Xiaodong was only Xiao Yingying’s doctor, but now Xiao Haiqing viewed him as a friend, or perhaps even as a potential son-in-law.

"I’ve been very busy recently and haven’t inquired about Yingying’s recovery. Seeing her, her condition seems much better now, but I’m curious as to when she can be fully healed?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, she should be almost recovered within a year and could lead a normal life—even get married and have children."

Xiao Haiqing’s eyes brightened as he said, "Does that mean I can have grandchildren?"

"Absolutely. Other than her heart, Yingying’s other organs are just weakened due to insufficient blood flow, and there are no other issues. So as long as the heart problem is resolved, all functions should return to normal."

"Great!" Xiao Haiqing was thrilled and laughed heartily, saying, "I thought I might have no descendants in this lifetime, but this is truly great news. However, I hope Yingying’s first child can carry the Xiao surname, what do you think, Dongzi?"

Song Xiaodong coughed lightly and said, "President Xiao, it’s too early to discuss this. Yingying and I haven’t reached that stage yet. But if we ever do get together, I can agree to that."

"Hmm, with your word, I’m reassured. Yingying is my daughter, but you saved her, so as long as you don’t mistreat Yingying, I won’t interfere too much in your affairs. You just handle your matters on your own."

Xiao Haiqing was a very perceptive man. He could see Song Xiaodong’s potential, hence he did not directly intervene in his daughter’s relationship with Song Xiaodong. He knew well that if he were to interfere too much, it would only drive Song Xiaodong away, not only breaking his daughter’s heart but also losing a strong ally.

Xiao Zhiming had his head down, staring at his phone, but his eyes flickered coldly.
