CHAPTER 261: CHAPTER 256: THE MALE PROTAGONIST WITH X-RAY VISION

"Lady Tong, this is the custom cake you ordered." Ye Qiu brought out a beautifully packaged cake and then accidentally saw the wallpaper on Tong Li’s phone, feeling a slight surprise in his heart.

He knew that in a past life, Tong Li was also one of Ling Batian’s women, and even her daughter eventually... Ye Qiu didn’t know how to comment. Was it really okay for both mother and daughter to end up in the bed of that beast?

However, Tong Li’s feelings for Ling Batian shouldn’t be that deep now. Should he remind her? After all, her daughter seems to be underage, doesn’t she?

"Do you know Ling Batian, Lady Tong?" Ye Qiu wore an indescribable expression.

"What? Young Master Ye knows Batian?" Tong Li had come to Ye Qiu to order the cake through a friend’s introduction. She was indeed surprised when she learned that the distinguished Young Master of the Ye Family was personally involved in catering, but when she heard that this young master only did business with the wealthy, she understood.

"We’re from the same school, but his reputation is not very good. It’s said that he’s been entangled with several women," Ye Qiu spoke as if he were recounting something ordinary, but Tong Li’s heart tightened.

She didn’t mind that Ling Batian had other women in the past, but she didn’t want to be played for a fool. If he already had a girlfriend, why was he still trying to seduce her?

Tong Li trusted Ye Qiu wasn’t lying to her since there was no need, and these things could be easily checked.

But she didn’t want Ye Qiu to know about her intimate relationship with Ling Batian: "Oh, that’s because he has recently become a private tutor for my daughter. Today is his birthday, and my daughter wanted to give him a surprise. She insisted on changing my phone’s wallpaper to his photo, so that’s why..."

Tong Li laughed awkwardly, as if eager to clarify her relationship with Ling Batian.

Ye Qiu didn’t believe what she said, but he didn’t let it show on his face and instead looked at her with a worried expression: "I think it’s not wise for Lady Tong to hire him as a tutor. To speak frankly, Ling Batian is not discriminating, and he has an ambiguous relationship with a teacher at school. How old is your daughter this year? She might be deceived by him."

At first, Tong Li didn’t care much, but when it came to her daughter, she couldn’t help being nervous. After hearing what Ye Qiu said, she also felt that Ling Batian had been too intimate with her recently.

After all, she is a woman in her thirties or forties, and Ling Batian already has a girlfriend, so why did he have to pursue her the moment they met? Unless Ling Batian is truly a shameless man driven by lust!

Thinking this, Tong Li became even more anxious. If he is like this with her, could it be that he really harbors thoughts towards her daughter?

"Thank you for the warning, Young Master Ye. I’ll be careful. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now." Tong Li hurriedly picked up her things, hoping that things weren’t as she feared.

Ye Qiu stood still, squinting his eyes. Ling Batian was a man without any moral standards to speak of. With the mindset of saving whoever he could, Ye Qiu felt no regret for sabotaging his endeavors. After all, he was doing a good deed. Bigamy is a crime, and Ling Batian’s behavior was ultimately playing with fire.

Tong Li had originally planned to handle her affairs at the company during the day before going home to celebrate Ling Batian’s birthday. However, after Ye Qiu’s words, she couldn’t stay any longer and hurried home. Nanny Zhang was not at home today, and only her daughter and Ling Batian were in the villa. He couldn’t possibly be that beastly, could he?

Tong Li dearly hoped her suspicions were wrong. Ling Batian was brought in by her, and if he really offended her daughter, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

However, the truth proved that Ling Batian was indeed a person dominated by lust, without any moral baseline.

Tong Mengmeng was sitting on Ling Batian’s lap at this moment, feeling as if she was the little princess cherished by the male lead in a novel.

"This question should be done like this, draw an auxiliary line here, then like this..." Ling Batian was holding Tong Mengmeng’s hand to write, although he himself felt it was not good to lay hands on a young girl, but if he didn’t hold her, she would cry and make a fuss. For her studies, a little hug was acceptable, right?

He assured himself that he was considering her academic performance! Ling Batian thought this and no longer had any burden on his conscience.

"Brother Tian, if I get this question right, is there a reward?" Tong Mengmeng blinked slyly, looking at Ling Batian with her bright and naive eyes.

"What reward do you want?" Ling Batian pinched her tender little cheek, smiling.

"If I get it right, could you give me a kiss?" Tong Mengmeng’s heart thumped with anticipation as she spoke.

Ling Batian was taken aback for a moment, but he didn’t care much, thinking she meant a kiss on the cheek or forehead, so with a raised eyebrow he smiled: "What if you get it wrong?"

"Then I’ll have to kiss you as a punishment." Tong Mengmeng giggled, cuddling in his embrace.

"Alright, alright." Ling Batian had no way to refuse the coquettish little girl, so he agreed with a laugh.

Tong Mengmeng smiled triumphantly and smoothly finished the problem she claimed she couldn’t do before, and got the answer right.

Just then, Ling Batian realized Tong Mengmeng had been teasing him on purpose. He found it amusing and didn’t break his promise, giving her a gentle kiss on her forehead under her expectant gaze.

But Tong Mengmeng was not satisfied, pouting her lips, she said: "Not like that."

"Not like that? Then how?" Ling Batian was astonished.

"That day I saw you, you kissed Mom here, I want that too." Saying so, Tong Mengmeng launched herself forward, pressing her lips against Ling Batian’s.

"Mengmeng!" Ling Batian, taken by surprise, leaned back, "You..."

"Brother Tian, I’m jealous, I’m jealous that you kissed Mom like that, I want it too." As she spoke, Tong Mengmeng boldly placed Ling Batian’s hand inside her T-shirt.

It was only from this moment that Ling Batian realized he had actually harbored inappropriate thoughts for such a young girl.

He had indeed fantasized about Tong Mengmeng growing up that day, but he hadn’t thought about doing anything to her now!

Although Tong Mengmeng was young, her appearance of an early awakening of emotion was particularly touching, and Ling Batian, holding a small bun in his hand, couldn’t help squeezing it.

Tong Mengmeng hummed softly, finding the sensation of being caressed by her big brother so pleasing; no wonder Mom was so happy that day!

"Big brother, I want you to kiss me again." Tong Mengmeng pouted, tilting her head up in a coquettish manner.

Ling Batian looked at the delicate and charming Tong Mengmeng, stirring thoughts in his heart.

When Tong Li returned home, what she saw was such a horrifying scene: the man who had been handsy with her yesterday was now holding her young daughter in his arms, kissing her, his filthy hand even inside her daughter’s clothing!

Tong Li felt she was going insane!
