The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 81: Knowing the Languages of Three Countriesi

He smiled lightly and said, “It’s just a small effort.”

The superintendent found himself between laughter and tears.

The suspect he had caught with such little effort was the one they had been unable to apprehend in their station for two years.

This left the hundreds of people in the police team in distress.

“Lieutenant Tao, I think you were just passing C City, do you have some time?

On behalf of the team, I’d like to invite you for a meal.”

Tao Yi declined his kind offer, “I have other tasks to attend to, I appreciate your kindness, superintendent.”

“No worries, we will have another occasion.”

Tao Yi nodded, got into his car and instructed his subordinate, “Let’s go.”

“Boss, are we going to the airport now?”

Tao Yi checked his watch, he still had three hours to spend here.

There was enough time to meet…

He didn’t answer, but took out his phone and dialed Hai Xiaotang’s number.

Last time in B City, he had left them his phone number, but he had been too busy to contact them.

Planning his grandfather’s funeral and then rushing off on a task.

He had no time to properly express his gratitude to grandfather and granddaughter, so he wanted to take advantage of the time today to meet Hai Xiaotang.

To meet the woman whom his grandfather had long chosen for him to marry…

As for Hai Zhiyuan, he intended to formally visit him the next time he had a chance.

However, Hai Xiaotang’s cellphone was switched off.

After a few failed attempts to reach her, Tao Yi decided to head straight to the airport and visit them when he had another opportunity.

The flight from C City to New York takes more than ten hours.

Hai Xiaotang hated traveling far because it bored her.

Other than watching movies, she couldn’t do anything else on the plane.

Dongfang Yu was like a workaholic, working all the time.

Hai Xiaotang woke up from a nap and saw him still working.

Everyone else was already asleep, the cabin was very quiet, only he was awake.

Looking at his serious and focused side profile, Hai Xiaotang had to admit, he looked very charming when he was working.

Meanwhile… it made her feel rather useless.

Why couldn’t she be diligent like him?

At least she should find a job that would make her more focused…

Hai Xiaotang decided to stop self-pity. She took a book and planned to really read it.

Dongfang Yu suddenly turned his head and asked in a low voice, “Why aren’t you resting and reading instead?”

Hai Xiaotang gave him a glance, “Just mind your own business.”

Who was the one who wasn’t resting?

Dongfang Yu seemed to think of something and slightly curved his lips, “Are you… caring about me?”

Hai Xiaotang was reading an English book, pointing at a word she asked him, “What does this mean?”

Dongfang Yu had a bit of difficulty keeping up with her change of thought, but since she was asking him for help, he didn’t refuse.

“Narcissi** means self-indulgence, it could also mean being self-absorbed…” Immediately after he finished explaining, Dongfang Yu realized he was being accused of narcissism!

However, he didn’t get angry. Instead, he studied her, “You know such difficult words?”

In his eyes, Hai Xiaotang was worse than a failing student, how could she know such difficult words!

Hai Xiaotang raised her eyebrows in triumph, “You underestimated me, I can speak three languages.”

Dongfang Yu was a bit surprised, “You know three?”

“Yes.” Now Hai Xiaotang had something to show off, “English, French, and of course, Chinese.”

The fact that she knew other languages was thanks to her education, which started from birth.
