C553 – Fear of Daddy
“Oh, Chuxia, I’ve missed you terribly these past few days.”
Momentster, a grating voice pierced the air.
A figure then made his entrance.
Su Ming was taken aback.
What in the world was this creature?
Good grief!
It was the epitome of abstract art!
This guy was short, yet remarkably round.
He resembled a potato.
A potato with limbs sprouting out and topped with a head.
?While it’smon for people to carry a little extra weight, when someone like Zhou Guozhi takes it to an extreme, usually their limbs and head balloon along with their body.
But not Zhou Guozhi.
Why blend in when you can stand out? He was determined to be different!
His torso was disproportionatelyrge, yet his limbs and head were almost normal-sized, devoid of excess fat.
My goodness!
He could give someone a fright just walking down the street.
He was practically a potatoe to life!
And that was the least of it; his facial features were haphazardly ced.
?They were barely situated where they should be, and they were hideously arranged.
My word, this guy.
He was beyond the reach of any adjective known for ugliness.
“Who are you?”
Zhou Guozhi had just walked in and immediately fixed his gaze on Su Ming sitting next to Ann Chuxia, his eyes bulging with surprise.
A surge of anger welled up inside him!
A strange man sitting beside Ann Chuxia?!
Though it pained him to admit it, he couldn’t deny that the guy was incredibly handsome!
Zhou Guozhi’s jealousy red. He red with furrowed brows, his face a picture of suspicion as he interrogated.
“I am…”
Su Ming was about to introduce himself.
Zhou Guozhi’s eyes sparkled.
His suspicious demeanor vanished, reced by a beaming, youthful grin. He sidled up to Xiaoqing, oozing insincerity, “Oh, miss, what’s your name? You’re so beautiful. I really want to…ahem, I mean, I’d love to be friends with you, and maybe…ah, no, I just want to have a chat.”
?Su Ming blinked, his forehead creasing with several lines of bewilderment. He exchanged a nce with Ann Chuxia, who could only shake her head in resignation and spread her hands in a gesture of helplessness.
That was it.
Su Ming’s brow furrowed slightly.
Where did this character spring from?
Is it now the case that the lower the IQ, the easier it is to be a wealthy heir?
He blurted out the truth in just two sentences!
Little Qing was also taken aback.
Even with its advanced artificial intelligence, Little Qing had never encountered such a lowlife before.
“I’m your father.”
Little Qing blinked and uttered five words.
“Sploosh!”
Su Ming, mid-sip, sprayed out his water.
Don’t get the wrong idea; I didn’t teach it that.
I had absolutely nothing to do with this, it was all Little Qing’s own doing.
Though the statement was rather earth-shattering.
To be frank.
I have to give you a big thumbs up. Well said!
Beautifully put!
“I…”
Zhou Guozhi nearly suffocated.
He was frozen in ce.
This, this, this…
What in the world is happening? Can someone tell me how I’m supposed to respond?
I’ve encountered plenty of beauties, and some have given me the cold shoulder, like Ann Chuxia.
But this is the first time I’vee across a response like this!
?This is truly a novelty.
I, I, I…
I love it!!!
It’s exactly my type!
The feeling is exhrating!
“Bravo! Well said, I love it, I really do.”
Zhou Guozhi’s face lit up with delight, having encountered something refreshingly different.
A novel vor indeed.
Su Ming and Ann Chuxia were dumbfounded, exchanging nces. What was with this guy? Delighted to be insulted?
What’s the deal? Does he have a daddyplex?
Does he need to acknowledge a whole fleet of fathers to feel secure?
Surely not, Young Master Zhou, you’re the son of a renowned entertainmentpany’s owner; your tastes can’t be that extreme…
Zhou Guozhi, now thoroughly entertained, plopped down next to Little Qing, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Ann Chuxia was taken aback.
That was a swift change.
Just a moment ago, you were flirting with me, and now you’ve switched targets?
It wasn’t that Ann Chuxia felt a sense of loss.
It wasn’t that she felt empty because Zhou Guozhi wasn’t pursuing her; rather, she felt somewhat guilty toward Su Ming. He hade to dine, and now, because of her, he was embroiled in this mess.
“Su Ming…”
Ann Chuxia was about to say something when Su Ming gave her a smile and a dismissive shake of his head.
The idea was ludicrous, especially considering Zhou Guozhi.
Even if the world’s most handsome man stood before Little Qing, she wouldn’t bat an eyelid!
You’re thinking of romancing an intelligent robot that’s already imprinted on its owner? You must be joking!
“Littledy, what’s your name? Where are you working these days? What are your interests?”
Zhou Guozhi’s grin was tinged with sleaziness and repulsion.
?Little Qing paused, blinking before ncing at Su Ming.
Amused, Su Ming thought to himself, “Yuvyuv, can you talk to Little Qing?”
“Of course, Master. However, you can alsomunicate directly with Little Qing in your mind,” Yuvyuv responded sweetly.
“Yes, Brother,” came Little Qing’s voice in his mind.
Huh?
Su Ming was taken aback.
?Little Qing could interact with him telepathically, yet the tones of the two AIs were noticeably different. Yuvyuv had always seemed so docile, but now her voice was softer than ever. Meanwhile, Little Qing sounded somewhat boastful and pretentious.
?Could it be that artificial intelligence could also vie for favor and get jealous?
Was it possible that his future entourage would include not just a bevy of beauties but also a handful of robots?
Wow, what a thrill!
?Chuckling to himself, Su Ming mentally asked, “What can you ask him about?”
?”Right away, Brother!” Little Qing responded in his mind, then faced Zhou Guozhi with a neutral expression. “What do you know how to do?”
?”Ah!” Zhou Guozhi nearly burst withughter.
What did this imply?
It suggested the beauty was intrigued by him. If he could just demonstrate his best skill, he might just capture her heart, and tonight…
[Blissful! Blissful!]
[My charm is truly irresistible!]
Zhou Guozhi smirked, thenposed himself, shaking his head and lightly stroking his temples with a smug smile. “I’m a magician!”
?”Magic?” Little Qing blinked.
“You see, our Young Master Zhou has been studying magic since childhood. He’s a protégé of Yun Zhong Hai, the magic maestro of the imperial court. You’ve heard of Yun Zhong Hai, haven’t you?”
One of Zhou Guozhi’s henchmen quickly spoke up from behind him.
Having been Zhou Guozhi’s right-hand man for so long, he was well aware that Young Master Zhou was in need of a boost.
“Cloud Sea?”
Su Ming felt a twinge of surprise himself.
This was a renowned magician, a name thatmanded respect on the international stage!
