Chapter 136 I Want to Ride a Big Horse
Xiao Qi took a deep breath and loosened her grip on Su Yingxue's clothes.
She strode out from behind her, walked straight to Zhao Dakang, and said crisply, "Uncle, I'm talking to you."
Xiao Qi put her hands on her hips, raised her chin slightly, and said loudly, "Uncle, if you want me to wear a formal dress, you have to be my horse first. It'll be more fun to ride and watch at the same time!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Da Kuang's smile froze instantly, and he looked troubled.
He's been a prominent figure in the martial arts world for so long, when has he ever done anything like being a child's horse?
The servants stood by, their eyes glancing at him every now and then.
Zhao Da Kuang felt his face burning, so embarrassed he wanted to disappear into the ground.
Su Yingxue's eyes widened in surprise; she hadn't expected Xiao Qi to be so cunning at such a young age.
Looking again at Xiao Qi's quirky and clever appearance, which was exactly like Tan Zhengchu's, she felt a surge of relief.
Su Yingxue stood aside, watching with great interest as Xiao Qi "disciplined" Zhao Dakuang.
Zhao Da Kuang stood frozen in place, his mind in turmoil.
Should they grit their teeth, kneel on the ground, and let Xiaoqi ride on their backs, or should they bite the bullet and refuse?
This completely stumped him, who was usually so imposing.
Xiao Qi blinked her adorable big eyes and stared intently at Zhao Da Kuang.
Her little face was full of anticipation, waiting for him to give her an answer.
But Zhao Da Kuang frowned, his face dark, and remained silent for a long time.
Xiaoqi was getting a little impatient and pouted.
In a childish voice, she asked Zhao Da Kuang, "Uncle, are you going to say yes or no? I've been waiting for so long!"
She saw that Zhao Da Kuang remained silent.
Xiao Qi immediately turned around, threw herself into Su Yingxue's arms, and complained pitifully, "Mommy, this uncle is ignoring me. I just want to ride a big horse like Daddy."
Zhao Da Kuang gritted his teeth, his face growing increasingly grim, and coldly snorted, "Little Qi, you keep comparing me to Tan Zhengchu. Does that guy even let you ride a horse?"
Xiaoqi tilted her head and retorted crisply, "My daddy is so nice! He plays with me all the time. Riding a horse is nothing!"
Zhao Dakang's heart skipped a beat, and the image of Tan Zhengchu, who was difficult to get along with and had a strange temper, instantly flashed into his mind.
However, it must be admitted that Tan Zhengchu's face was indeed strikingly beautiful and sinister, always attracting attention from others.
Upon thinking of this, Zhao Da Kuang's competitive spirit suddenly surged up.
He secretly vowed that he would never lose face in front of Xiao Qi and that he would make Xiao Qi look at him with new respect.
Xiao Qi, on the other hand, completely ignored what Zhao Da Kuang was thinking.
Lost in her sweet memories, she counted on her fingers all the good things about Tan Zhengchu: "My daddy would buy me lots of delicious food and take me to the amusement park..."
Hearing this, Zhao Da Kuang felt as if his self-esteem had been trampled underfoot, his face turning pale and then red.
Finally, he stamped his foot, gritted his teeth, and said, "Fine, Little Seven, I'll let you ride a big horse!"
Having said that, he waved his hand and ordered the servants, "All of you, get out of the living room! No one is allowed to come in without my permission!"
The servants filed out.
Xiao Qi immediately beamed with joy, clapping her hands excitedly and shouting, "Big Horse, come here quickly!"
Zhao Da Kuang's lips twitched, feeling utterly uncomfortable.
But she still obediently walked up to Xiao Qi.
Zhao Da Kuang took a deep breath and slowly knelt down.
He stood ramrod straight, patted his back, and said in a muffled voice, "Xiao Qi, come on up."
Xiao Qi giggled, like a happy little monkey, and quickly climbed onto Zhao Da Kuang's back.
Her little hands gripped his clothes, her toes kicked his waist without hesitation, and she shouted, "Run! Run!"
Zhao Da Kuang could only crawl around the spacious living room using both his hands and feet, looking both pathetic and comical.
Su Yingxue stood to the side, arms crossed.
As she watched this scene, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, but her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
As Su Yingxue watched Zhao Dakuang go to such lengths to make Xiao Qi happy, her thoughts drifted away.
Tan Zhengchu's face appeared before her eyes, and a wave of longing rose in her heart, her eyes becoming slightly moist.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but clench my fists tightly.
She thought to herself that she must find a way to send a signal as soon as possible, escape from here with Xiao Qi, and return to Tan Zhengchu's side.
Xiaoqi was so engrossed in playing that her little face was flushed.
Before long, he was panting heavily from exhaustion.
She slid off Zhao Da Kuang's back, but her little feet didn't land properly, and she stumbled, kicking Zhao Da Kuang squarely in the face.
Zhao Da Kuang hissed in pain, his brows furrowed, and he was almost about to explode in anger.
Xiao Qi didn't take it seriously. After regaining her balance, she realized that Zhao Da Kuang's face was right in front of her.
His eyes lit up, and he thought to himself that this was the "most suitable" place to tread.
So she lifted her little foot and kicked Zhao Da Kuang's face again, using the momentum to slide steadily off his back.
Zhao Dakang's face turned ashen, his eyes widened, and he angrily questioned, "Xiao Qi, did you do this on purpose?"
Little Qi blinked her innocent big eyes, looking at him with a bewildered expression, and scratched her head with her little hand: "Uncle, I didn't mean to."
Looking at Xiao Qi's innocent and naive appearance, Zhao Da Kuang felt a surge of anger welling up inside him, with nowhere to vent it.
Helplessly, he could only raise his hand and gently touch the painful spot on his face.
The butler tiptoed into the living room, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Sir, dinner is ready. Please move to the dining room with Miss Su and Miss Xiaoqi."
After speaking, his gaze inadvertently swept across Zhao Da Kuang's face.
His eyes widened in shock, his face filled with astonishment, and he stammered, "Sir... sir, your face..."
Zhao Da Kuang was already in a bad mood, and after being reminded like this, he raised his hand and touched the texture of the shoe with his fingertips.
His face instantly turned so dark it seemed to drip water, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze, creating an extremely tense atmosphere.
Seeing this, the butler hurriedly suggested, "Sir, why don't I go and call the family doctor to take a look at you?"
Zhao Da Kuang waved his hand dismissively and snorted coldly, "No need. It's just a minor injury, nothing serious. There's an important banquet tonight, and I can't miss it."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Su Yingxue and her daughter, a sharp glint in his eyes, "Yingxue, Xiaoqi, you will come with me to the banquet. Tonight, I will formally introduce you to everyone."
The group arrived at the restaurant.
As soon as Xiao Qi entered the room, her eyes were fixed on the shoe print on Zhao Da Kuang's face.
Her little face was full of innocent curiosity, and she clapped her hands and laughed, "Uncle, the marks on your face look like little monster footprints! It's so funny!"
Those innocent words instantly eased the tense atmosphere a little.
As soon as Su Yingxue sat down, she saw Zhao Dakuang's disheveled appearance.
She was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing.
But the next second, remembering Zhao Da Kuang's temperament, she quickly covered her mouth.
For a moment, Su Yingxue's face turned red as she tried hard to suppress her laughter.
