Daisa took a hot shower, changed into clean clothes, and walked out of the bathroom. Her expression had completely returned to calm.
"Humph, you finally decided to come out. Tell me, were you secretly laughing in there just now?" Zhou Yaru snorted.
Daisa: "..." Could they still hear her even though she had the water running so loudly?
She pretended to be relaxed. "There's no such thing. Are you having auditory hallucinations?"
Huang Zhenzhen asked, "The muscles of Assistant Wei must feel really good, right?"
Daisa replied reflexively, "Of course..."
Meeting their teasing and knowing looks, she blushed and rushed towards the door in a hurry, saying, "Okay, it's not the time to talk about this now. Everyone must be really worried. Let's go out first."
Zhou Yaru snorted. "Humph, don't think I don't know what's going on in that little head of yours. Let's see how long you can keep pretending."
When they opened the door, the people outside immediately turned to look at Daisa in unison.
Daisa scanned the scene with her eyes and found that a certain person was missing. She felt a bit disappointed.
This time when she fell into the water, she scared more than just one person. The four little kids were huddled together like baby birds, not making a sound.
Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng were not there, and no one was in charge. In the end, it was Brother Hu who spoke up and asked, "Daisa, what exactly happened just now? How did you accidentally fall into the swimming pool?"
Daisa looked at the little kids and happened to meet Wang Dabao's eyes. Wang Dabao was so scared that he quickly lowered his head and stammered, "I... I..."
"I drank too much and got lost. When I came to the swimming pool, I accidentally slipped on my feet and fell in," she said with a smile. Then she raised her hand to support her head and said, "I have to say, this wine has quite a strong after - effect."
Everyone didn't suspect anything and echoed one after another, "The wine prepared by Mr. Yan is indeed the best - tasting wine I've ever had. I'm also starting to feel a bit tipsy now."
"Of course. That's Mr. Yan we're talking about!"
This thrilling scene of Daisa falling into the water was thus easily glossed over. After confirming that Daisa was really okay, everyone proposed to go back to the courtyard to continue drinking. But Daisa declined, saying that she was a bit tired and didn't plan to go with them.
Zhou Yaru was about to say something else when Huang Zhenzhen pushed her out and whispered in her ear, "Such an intimate thing just happened. Don't push too hard. Give them some space. Maybe Daisa has her own plans."
Zhou Yaru suddenly remembered something. She excitedly grabbed Huang Zhenzhen's arm and whispered in her ear, "Zhenzhen, let me tell you secretly. I've long thought there was something strange about Daisa. Before when we were at the hot - spring resort..."
Daisa stood by the door, watching everyone leave. Her eyes fell on the extremely romantic glowing balloons in the courtyard, and she showed a knowing smile.
"Auntie, I'm sorry." A little voice full of guilt came from behind Daisa. She turned around, and the four little kids were standing in a line behind her, with Wang Dabao at the front.
At this moment, he was pouting and crying very sadly.
"Auntie, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have driven Xuxu's little car around randomly, which made you fall into the water and almost die. Auntie, you even lied for me. The teacher said it's a bad thing to lie. Auntie, please spank my butt to vent your anger, okay?"
Xuanxuan also said, "Auntie Daisa, Xuanxuan was also wrong. Xuanxuan should have told Wang Dabao earlier that he couldn't play by the pool. Mommy and Daddy said it's very dangerous there. Little kids who can't swim are not allowed to go there."
Xuxu also said in a milky voice, "Auntie Daisa, Xuxu was also wrong. Xuxu shouldn't have let Wang Dabao play with my Beta. Then you wouldn't have fallen into the water."
Seeing that her brothers had admitted their mistakes, Li Xinxin was also anxious and said, "I... I was also wrong!" But after stuttering for a long time, she couldn't think of what exactly she had done wrong.
Daisa was amused by the four kids. She hadn't even bothered about this at all!
She squatted down in front of the four kids. First, she reached out and pretended to spank Wang Dabao's butt and said, "Okay, auntie has spanked your butt. Now auntie is not angry anymore. Don't cry anymore, okay?"
Huh? Was it really that simple? Wang Dabao stopped crying and stared blankly at Daisa.
"Since you've all apologized to auntie, auntie will tell you a truth. Auntie's falling into the water this time is a lesson for all of you. You must remember that when you can't swim, you mustn't get close to the water easily. It's a very dangerous thing. Even an adult like auntie might get into big trouble. Do you all remember?"
The kids nodded vigorously. Xuxu said, "Fortunately, Uncle Wei saved Auntie Daisa. Uncle Wei can swim. He's so amazing!"
"Uncle Wei also hugged Auntie Daisa!"
"The TV said that when a man and a woman hug, it means they're going to fall in love," Xuanxuan said, looking at Daisa seriously with his big eyes. "Daddy hugged Mommy, and then they got engaged. Auntie Daisa, will you marry Uncle Wei?"
Daisa's smile froze on her face. "..." What the hell! You're just a three - year - old kid. How could you say such a scary thing? Marry? How could she be sure that she would definitely marry Wei Shu! They hadn't even started dating yet!
At this time, a very familiar voice came from behind. "Yes, Young Master Xuanxuan."
Daisa was so scared that she immediately stood up from the ground and turned around. Wei Shu, who had changed into casual clothes, still had water on his hair. He looked at Daisa, with a hint of a smile in his eyes and a nervousness that he didn't even notice himself.
He had quickly taken a hot shower, changed into clean clothes, and rushed back here to find Daisa. She had been squatting there talking to the kids, and her figure was just blocked by the potted plants, so he didn't notice her at first.
When he got closer, he heard what she was saying to the kids. Her gentle voice made Wei Shu stop in his tracks. He stood there quietly listening until Xuanxuan asked her that question, and then he couldn't help but show himself.
If adding her as a friend before and saving her before Ah Qiang was for that duplex apartment in Fengcheng, it wasn't the case now.
Wang Dabao had made her fall into the water, but she didn't mind at all and even helped him cover it up. She was really a kind and lovely girl.
He was serious. He wanted to try to be with her.
However, after saying that, he began to feel extremely nervous. Daisa had said that she liked muscular men, but she had successively rejected Ah Wei, Ah Biao, and Ah Qiang before. Every time she saw him, she always acted in a strictly business - like manner. He didn't know if saying this would also lead to her rejection.
Should he not have said that just now? He hadn't even made a move to pursue her, yet he said he was going to marry her. How was this different from Ah Qiang?
"Ahem." He cleared his throat. "I didn't mean that. What I meant was..."
"Miss Daisa, would you like to try to have a relationship with me with the intention of getting married?"
