Return to the City: The Strongest King
Chapter 2052 - 1925: You Get Out of Breath Just Because I Called You Fat (Part 5)
"Don’t keep calling me Director Qiao." Qiao Yutong’s ears turned red, muttering softly.
"Then what should I call you?" Song Xiaodong asked with a mischievous grin.
"Anything’s fine, just don’t call me Director Qiao." Qiao Yutong replied.
"Then, can I call you Yutong? Tong Tong?" Song Xiaodong said, laughing.
"Whatever you want." Qiao Yutong didn’t seem angry.
"Little Qiao?" Song Xiaodong said again.
"Get in the car." Qiao Yutong said irritably to Song Xiaodong, pointing at Song Xiaodong’s car.
"Alright!" Song Xiaodong unlocked the car and obediently climbed in.
"Director Qiao, what about your car?" After Qiao Yutong got into the car, Song Xiaodong asked.
"I... I didn’t drive here." Qiao Yutong answered.
Upon hearing this, Song Xiaodong realized that Qiao Yutong knew he would be drinking, so she didn’t bring her car.
Song Xiaodong wondered how Qiao Yutong knew he would come, maybe Deputy Mayor Han mentioned it when inviting her. He thought.
Qiao Yutong drove the car, and Song Xiaodong stared at her intently.
"Stop staring, you’re affecting my driving. What if I accidentally drive into a closed area?" Qiao Yutong said as if admonishing Song Xiaodong.
"Just a little longer, just a little longer." Song Xiaodong seemed smitten, staring at Qiao Yutong’s face.
"Alright, alright, stare all you want." Qiao Yutong ignored him, pretending to concentrate on driving.
Qiao Yutong drove the car straight into the Su Family Courtyard.
"Wow, impressive, living in such a big courtyard." Qiao Yutong admired the place with some envy.
"There are many people, so it’s big. What’s impressive? Besides, I didn’t build this courtyard." Song Xiaodong replied.
Going upstairs, Qiao Yutong struggled with her high heels and decided to simply hold onto Song Xiaodong’s arm as they walked up.
Just as they were about to knock on the door, they saw Sun Yiyi coming out with a bag of trash, opening the door.
"Oh, Director Qiao, quick, quick, come in!" Sun Yiyi reacted quickly, noticing Qiao Yutong holding Song Xiaodong’s arm. She didn’t say anything initially but gave Song Xiaodong a look, then pretended to be surprised while greeting Qiao Yutong.
"I’m not coming in, just dropping Xiaodong off because he’s been drinking." Qiao Yutong hesitated about entering.
"Director Qiao is here?" Song Xiaoru, sitting on the sofa, heard the name and quickly stood up like a fish flipping over, coming to the door and seeing it was indeed Qiao Yutong, who was taking her arm off Song Xiaodong.
"Come on in, come on in!" Song Xiaoru, without waiting for an explanation, dragged Director Qiao into the room.
"Please have a seat, please have a seat." Song Xiaoru invited Qiao Yutong to sit next to the sofa.
"Would you like to drink something?" Song Xiaoru eagerly ran to the fridge, opened it, and asked Qiao Yutong.
"Sister Xiaoru, I won’t drink anything, just had a meal."
"Then have some fruit." Song Xiaoru offered a huge fruit platter on the coffee table to Qiao Yutong.
Miao Qingqing, Miao Xuanxuan, Sun Yiyi, Chu Xianling, Shui Qingyue, Shui Qinghe, Su Yuya, Lin Su’er, Xiao Yingying, Sun Ziyun, and Li Sijie all came out of their rooms upon hearing the noise.
"Oh, it’s Director Qiao." Originally only Sun Yiyi and Song Xiaoru were in the living room, but now it became crowded, and everyone greeted Qiao Yutong. She was startled, stood up promptly, and said, "I’m just dropping Xiaodong off, he drank, and it’s late, I’ll leave now."
After speaking, Qiao Yutong seemed frightened and hurried out.
"Hey? Director Qiao, stay a little longer, why leave so suddenly?"
Song Xiaoru gave Song Xiaodong a stern look, and he hurried after Qiao Yutong.
"Director Qiao, don’t rush to leave." Song Xiaodong said to Qiao Yutong.
"I’m leaving, you go back." Without turning back, Qiao Yutong descended the stairs quickly.
"What, did my wives scare you? You’re a police chief, you’ve dealt with numerous lawbreakers, why fear a few women?" Song Xiaodong joked.
"Who’s scared?" Qiao Yutong halted her steps, turned around, and mimicked an elbow strike to Song Xiaodong from afar.
"Having Deputy Chief drive for me today made me very happy, thanks, Director Qiao!" Song Xiaodong said.
"I told you not to call me Director Qiao!" Qiao Yutong was about to leave.
"Yutong?" Song Xiaodong asked hesitantly.
"I’m taking the car." Qiao Yutong kept a straight face but couldn’t resist a smile, her lips curling up slightly as she glanced back at Song Xiaodong and got into the car.
Song Xiaodong tossed the car keys through the window into the car.
"My car is expensive, be careful driving it, you can’t afford to pay if you crash it." Song Xiaodong joked to Qiao Yutong.
"I already said, at worst, I’ll pay you with my body!" After saying this, Qiao Yutong hit the accelerator, the engine purred pleasingly, and the car sped towards the Su Family Courtyard entrance.
Chapter 1929: Cure for Chickenpox
Song Xiaodong stood downstairs, lost in thought, watching where the car disappeared.
On the second floor, Sun Yiyi stood on the balcony, looking down at Song Xiaodong, and said to the women inside, "Oh wow, look at him, staring longingly as she leaves."
"Really? Really?"
"Where?"
"Gee—"
"Serves him right! Let’s punish him tonight, no letting him touch us." Chu Xianling, barefoot, tiptoed out on the balcony, saw Song Xiaodong’s expression, then turned to say to everyone.
"Alright."
"Who said that? I heard you!" Song Xiaodong heard the commotion from the second-floor balcony and turned to go upstairs.
"Hey hey hey, what’s this? Came here and then ran away when he saw us? That’s so rude!" Miao Qingqing said.
