“Taotao, Xiaotao...” Jiang Xing didn’t care about his mother’s reprimand. Instead, he carefully recalled in his mind the face of the woman in the underground casino.

“It’s her! Jiang Xing suddenly reacted. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? This Xiaotao was clearly the Taotao he had met once in the underground casino.

‘What’s wrong with you?’ Madam Jiang looked at the shocked Jiang Xing and frowned.

Jiang Xing didn’t know what to say to his mother. After all, he couldn’t expose the fact that he had seen Yin Tao in the casino.

Jiang Xing found Yin Tao more and more intriguing. Not only did she have an ambiguous relationship with Lin Jia, but she was also Young Master Feng’s mistress in the casino.

Moreover, he heard from his mother that Yin Tao seemed to be a police officer. Jiang Xing didn’t know which of her identities was real, but his curiosity about her grew.

“Mom, can you think of a way to help me ask Yin Tao out again?”

‘What do you want?” Madam Jiang couldn’t figure out her son’s thoughts and looked at him warily.

“I just want to get to know her better. Mom, please help me.”

Madam Jiang observed her son’s expression and realized that he didn’t seem to be joking. “Alright, but you have to watch your words. Don’t get into unnecessary trouble.”

Actually, Madam Jiang didn’t want Jiang Xing’s future wife to be a fool like her son. That way, it would probably be very difficult for the Jiang family to maintain their business in the future. That young girl had some traits that she admired. Madam Jiang would like her son to give her a try. Their relationship could well bloom and that could be a good thing.

When Jiang Xing saw that his mother had agreed, he was very excited. It was as if he had already obtained the opportunity to see Yin Tao. He couldn’t help but look forward to it.

Meanwhile, Yin Tao and Lin Jia had already sent Xu Shan back to the Children’s Home. The little girl had played for the entire day and had already fallen asleep in the car. Lin Jia carried Xu Shan out of the car and gently placed her in the arms of the teacher in the Children’s Home.

Director Zhou of the Children’s Home was very happy that Lin Jia could come. Seeing that he was taking special care of Xu Shan, he was very touched. After all, Xu Shan was the strangest child in the Children’s Home. Only Lin Jia was willing to be patient and spend time with her.

It was already dark by the time Yin Tao followed Lin Jia back to the car. Yin Tao recalled the scene of Lin Jia hugging Xu Shan and couldn’t help but sigh. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Brother Lin Jia, you’ll definitely be a good father in the future.”

Lin Jia looked at the serious Yin Tao and found it funny. “It seems that I’m indeed old. You can feel my potential as a father?”

“It’s not that you’re old.” Yin Tao didn’t know how to explain it, so she could only reply with a smile, “I’m praising you. Shanshan likes you more and more.”

“Sigh, but I’m indeed old. Shanshan calls you Sister Xiaotao, but she calls me Uncle Lin Jia.” Lin Jia smiled helplessly and continued, “After all, I’m indeed the oldest. Feng Jing and your brother are a few years younger than me. I’m afraid I’m the only one who can be called uncle now.”

“But I feel that Brother Feng’s temperament is much older than yours.” Yin Tao never paid much attention to their ages. She didn’t expect Lin Jia to be slightly older than Feng Jing.

Lin Jia was tickled by what Yin Tao said. He felt that if Feng Jing heard this, he would definitely be upset. ‘That’s true. I remember that when Feng Jing was in the first year of university, many people surrounded him and called him senior. Later on, it was even more serious in his fourth year. Everyone even thought that he was an intern teacher at the university.”

Lin Jia thought of his time in university and found it very interesting. Although Feng Jing didn’t say it, he didn’t want everyone to see him as being too mature. After all, it didn’t feel good to be surrounded by a group of girls his age calling him senior.

“Brother Lin Jia, is Brother Feng already like this when he was in school? He’s so stoic like an old soldier.

“More or less. Anyway, the classmates who often hang out with him suspected that Feng Jing had hidden his true age. However, he hasn’t changed since he graduated. In a few years, he may turn out looking the youngest.”

Lin Jia and Yin Tao chatted casually. The atmosphere in the car was relaxed and cheerful, but Yin Tao still brought up what happened at the restaurant.

“Brother Lin Jia, thank you for defending me in the restaurant just now.” It was impossible for Yin Tao not to be touched. After all, her relatives were belittling her, but Lin Jia was willing to stand up for her.

‘What’s there to thank me for? Xiaotao, you don’t have to be so polite with me.” Lin Jia’s gaze was very gentle, making Yin Tao feel a little uncomfortable..
