Shopping mall near the courtyard.
PARKING LOT.
"Grandma, Wang Xiaomi and I made an appointment to meet at the A1 restaurant. There is a C1 restaurant across from here. You and Ma Nao are in the C1 restaurant, right? You must not come over to talk..." Ma Li gave a few words.
"I know, Manao and I will just take a look, and then we'll go to the children's paradise. It won't affect you." Ling Mingyu said. After she finished speaking, she took Manao into the mall.
"Dad, I'm going to pretend I don't know that you and Wang Xiaomi know each other later. Don't expose me." Ma Li whispered.
"I know." Mark responded casually. He thought to himself, "I also have to pretend that I am not very familiar with Wang Xiaomi. Also, I can't tell anything about the beauty salon."
...
A1 restaurant.
Wang Xiaomi has arrived.
She was waiting for Marley.
In the C1 restaurant opposite, Ling Mingyu and Manao were staring at Wang Xiaomi.
"Grandma, that sister Xiaomi is so beautiful." Manao whispered.
"She is quite beautiful, but she is too young." Ling Mingyu frowned.
"Isn't it bad to be young?" Manao asked doubtfully.
"There's nothing wrong with being young, it's just that your dad is older." Ling Mingyu frowned.
...
Mark and Mary walked into the restaurant together.
"Second uncle? Ma Li? Why are they here together? Do they know each other? Mark, Ma Li, oh, they are father and daughter?" Wang Xiaomi reacted in an instant. She looked at Mark and Ma Li at a loss, wondering if she should recognize Mark or should she pretend not to know Mark?
"Sister Xiaomi, my dad sent me here." Ma Li explained with a smile.
"Wang Xiaomi, we meet again." Mark said slightly politely. He could see that Wang Xiaomi wanted to pretend not to know him.
"Yes, we meet again." Wang Xiaomi said in a daze. She didn't expect that Mark didn't pretend not to know her.
"Sister Xiaomi, dad, do you know each other?" Ma Li asked pretendingly.
"We know each other. We met when we were traveling in Hainan. How did you and Wang Xiaomi meet?" Mark also pretended.
"Sister Xiaomi and I met at the pet store." Ma Li looked at Wang Xiaomi and winked.
"Ah, yes, yes, we met in the pet store." Wang Xiaomi cooperated. She reacted in time and didn't say anything about the police station.
"Dad, you guys talk first, I'm going to the bathroom." Ma Li said. After she said that, she left immediately.
In the distance, Ling Mingyu and Manao have also left. They went to the children's playground to play.
"Second uncle, what's going on? You and Ma Li are actually father and daughter?" Wang Xiaomi asked in surprise.
"They are father and daughter. I didn't expect you and Ma Li to know each other." Mark nodded.
"What a coincidence. Ma Li and I knew each other before going to Hainan." Wang Xiaomi said in surprise. She met Ma Li and Mark unknowingly, what a fate.
"Before going to Hainan? Didn't you say at the pet shop?" Mark smiled.
"Uh..., it's at the pet shop." Wang Xiaomi said in a daze. She is not slow to respond and is quite clever and naughty.
"Really? Xiaomi, you dare to lie to your boss? Be careful about deducting your salary." Mark threatened with wide eyes.
"This..." Wang Xiaomi hesitated whether to continue lying.
"Let me remind you, the police station." Mark smiled.
"Oh, uncle, you already know this." Wang Xiaomi said with a smile.
"Of course I know. You told me before that you and Qiu Feng separated after going to the police station. You even bandaged a little girl at that time. Ma Li's mother told me about Ma Li going to the police station. You guys The time and place are right, how could I not know?" Mark laughed.
"So that's it, second uncle, you are so bad, you already know it, and you asked Ma Li just now." Wang Xiaomi said with a smile.
"No way, Ma Li doesn't want me to know that she has been to the police station, so I'll pretend not to know." Mark laughed.
"Hey, second uncle, did Ma Li know about you and me in Hainan before?" Wang Xiaomi suddenly asked. She felt something was wrong.
"Do you think Ma Li knew about us before?" Mark asked without answering.
"Ma Li must know. Second uncle, have you ever told Ma Li about me?" Wang Xiaomi asked. She remembered having dinner with Ma Li before and felt something was wrong.
"Of course I said it. The story of the fight in Hainan was still spread in our school. Ma Li heard that I was fighting for a beautiful girl. I didn't hide anything, so I told her. She knew that you and I knew each other before.
However, she doesn’t know about the beauty salon, so don’t tell Ma Li this. "Mark laughed.
"Ah? Second uncle, did the news about your fight really get back to school? Have you been punished?" Wang Xiaomi asked hurriedly.
"No. The school thought I was brave and gave me a bonus." Mark smiled.
"That's okay. Second uncle, I really want to thank you for the Hainan incident. I'm still a little scared." Wang Xiaomi patted his chest and said.
"Don't be afraid, it's all over. That kind of thing doesn't happen often." Mark said with relief.
"Second uncle, there are very few people like you who are brave enough to do what is right."
"No, if you had shouted that day, I guess there would have been people around you who would have acted bravely."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, you are so beautiful, and the young men around you want to help you. Do you remember that Zhao Hu? He was so enthusiastic. He was the one who caught those three gangsters."
"It would be great if Zhao Hu didn't catch those three gangsters. We wouldn't have to go to the police station, and Uncle Er, you wouldn't have to be almost detained."
"You can't say that. What Zhao Hu did was right. We should all thank him."
"I understand, second uncle. Your daughter is really clever and she deceived me."
"It's okay, she's so smart that she doesn't need to study."
"Second uncle, what's going on with today's meal?" Wang Xiaomi asked. She felt wrong again because Marley was dining with her and shouldn't have brought Mark.
"Ma Li, you want me to go on a date with you, it's a bit of a matchup between us. She doesn't know that we are familiar with each other, so if she wants to have a meal, she doesn't need to make an appointment." Mark smiled.
"That's it, then I will go on a date with my second uncle today, go shopping together later, and then help you choose clothes." Wang Xiaomi said happily.
"Forget it. You call Ma Li over later, and I'll leave first. You young people can just have fun." Mark said with a smile. He doesn't want to get too close to Wang Xiaomi yet, especially when it comes to the relationship between men and women.
Now that he has a villa with a beautiful view, he wants to have fun for a few more years and is not in a hurry to get married.
Once you have close contact with Wang Xiaomi, even if you don't get married and become boyfriend and girlfriend, it will be inconvenient for you to have sex outside. He is a principled person and generally does not violate his principles if there is not enough temptation.
Also, Ling Mingyu and the others saw it. Even if he wanted to be a scumbag, he still had to avoid Ling Mingyu and Ma Li.
"Second uncle, don't you like me?" Wang Xiaomi asked directly. She has a crush on Mark, but Mark is always distant and his attitude is unclear.
"No. We...there are too many inappropriate things. You can ask Ma Li to come back. I'll leave first. Remember not to tell Ma Li about the beauty salon." Mark said and left. He left in style again.
Wang Xiaomi looked at Mark's back with some reluctance. She understood what Mark meant, and she also felt that there was a big age difference between the two. Even if she wanted to, her mother would not agree. But now she couldn't help but like Mark.
Ma Li was secretly watching from a distance. She was a little disappointed when she saw Mark get up and leave, thinking that Mark and Wang Xiaomi were out of luck.
"Ma Li, your dad is gone, why does it take you so long to go to the bathroom?"
"Sister Xiaomi, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable."
"So are you feeling better? Do you want to go to the pharmacy to buy medicine?"
"That's much better. No need, Sister Xiaomi. Let's order."
"Okay, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you."
"Sister Xiaomi, you don't need to invite me. My dad gave me a supplementary credit card. I'll invite you."
