Mr.President, Let's Get a Divorce
Chapter 339 - 342 Oh, it’s the Second Lady!

Chapter 339: 342 Oh, it’s the Second Lady!

He’s just a nine-year-old child after all.

Zhuo Ting thought to himself.

"Ha ha..." He laughed, not committing to Tang Xiaocao’s innocent and simple words.

"And, since you are the Vice President, doesn’t that mean I won my bet?"

Tang Xiaocao said, a slight smile appearing on his handsome little face.

"Ha ha ha! What should I do, I really like this little guy!"

Zhuo Ting pointed at Tang Xiaocao and said to Song Xiangqiao, "Where did you find him? You’ve gone through some trouble, Xiao Qiao!"

"Hehe..."

Song Xiangqiao had been urging Zhuo Ting to get to the main topic, but now it seemed not only was there no progress, but Zhuo Ting and Tang Xiaocao were even enjoying their chat more and more.

She could only give a dry laugh...

Afraid that saying too much would annoy Zhuo Ting, who hated being repeatedly reminded of what to do.

Tang Xiaocao looked at Zhuo Ting, then at Song Xiangqiao, and he almost sharply sensed... these people didn’t bring him here just to see his sister, but rather there was a hint of... conspiracy in it.

This Vice President had directly confronted Brother Wen Nian during the campaign speeches; back then, he felt like this person was not a good man.

Now though, in person, he seemed much more approachable than that tense Vice President on TV.

Although this amiability might just be superficial...

The young lady by the side of the Vice President... He still didn’t know who she was, only feeling that she seemed to dislike him from the way she looked at him.

"Mr. Vice President, may I ask... the lady next to you, is she... your daughter?"

"..."

Song Xiangqiao stiffened up, her face turning pale!

But Zhuo Ting didn’t seem to mind Tang Xiaocao’s question at all; instead, he generously pulled Song Xiangqiao into his arms and laughed loudly,

"This is my wife, the Vice President’s wife."

"Oh, so she’s the Second Lady." Tang Xiaocao accepted the answer much more calmly than when he asked the question.

As if not surprised at all.

Song Xiangqiao frowned slightly, what was up with this kid? What... Second Lady!?

"Do you think... me, an old man, marrying such a young girl... isn’t quite right?"

Zhuo Ting again probed Tang Xiaocao.

Tang Xiaocao shook his head, "Not at all, don’t you grown-ups always say that love knows no bounds?"

His childish voice, combined with a know-it-all tone and childish words, only made Zhuo Ting’s smile grow even wider.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Tang Xiaocao yawned, his body still sitting upright, but his face already showing signs of tiredness, only a very wooden expression remained.

"Are you tired?"

Zhuo Ting asked.

"I usually go to bed at eight, and now it’s already ten. Do Mr. Vice President and the Second Lady often stay up late?"

A very casual query.

Zhuo Ting hadn’t expected him to ask this, as if they were very simple friends, the question was innocent yet genuine.

He hadn’t had such a normal conversation with anyone in a long time.

"Usually, work keeps us up late."

Tang Xiaocao nodded, "You grown-ups always say staying up late is slow suicide, but then you get hooked on doing it anyway."

"Ha ha! You little rascal, you little rascal..."

Zhuo Ting patted his own thigh, seeming very excited.

Tang Xiaocao looked bewilderedly at the suddenly excited Vice President, then started to reflect on which sentence of his had hit Zhuo Ting’s funny bone?

Song Xiangqiao’s face grew increasingly grim, and even Tang Xiaohua, who had been anxiously hiding behind a wall, was also a bit confused about how the situation was unfolding.

Xiaocao had been chatting with Zhuo Ting for nearly half an hour after she sat down.

She didn’t realize Xiaocao could talk that much.

"Are you hungry or thirsty? Would you like something to eat?"

"I don’t want to eat at the moment. I don’t have the habit of eating after eight. Thank you for your kindness, Vice President. Did you ask me to come tonight because there’s a matter you need to discuss?"

Tang Xiaocao replied.

By then, Zhuo Ting’s emotions had also gradually calmed down. He found Tang Xiaocao quite interesting but hadn’t forgotten the main purpose of the evening.

"Indeed, there is something I want to ask you."

"Please go ahead."

"My child, I am the Vice President of this country, so you must not lie to me."

"Mr. President, I will not lie."

Tang Xiaocao answered very indifferently.

"I ask you, what is your sister’s name, and where is she now?"

"My sister’s name is Tang Xiaohua. We meet every year during the New Year. Last New Year she was with the Navy Corps. Now, she is serving as a bodyguard beside President Wen Nian, protecting his safety."

Tang Xiaocao said methodically.

"My child, I’ll say it again, you cannot lie to me. If I find out you are lying... the consequences are not something you can bear. Your sister Tang Xiaohua will also face adverse outcomes."

"Vice President, I am telling the truth. Since you are the Vice President, a person with great power in our country, you can verify every word I say."

Zhuo Ting looked at him, wanting to know whether he had always been this composed or if someone had groomed him.

"Okay, then I will ask you another question. Do you know a woman named Song Lili?"

"I don’t know her."

"You don’t know her? You’re lying!"

Song Xiangqiao watched the child innocently telling blatant lies while noticing Zhuo Ting’s growing fondness for the child, which gave her a bad feeling.

If she didn’t interrupt now, she truly feared that a mere nine-year-old child could lead the Vice President by the nose!

Zhuo Ting’s expression turned cold, and he immediately glared at Song Xiangqiao, signaling her to shut her mouth.

Song Xiangqiao unconsciously clenched her fists.

"Child, say it again, do you recognize a woman named Song Lili?"

"Your Excellency, I really don’t know her."

Tang Xiaocao looked directly at Zhuo Ting, his pupils not even flickering. If anything could be said about his eyes, it might just be... fatigue and weariness.

"You and your sister are from Tanjin, right?"

"Yes."

"What is your relationship with Lu Ziqing?"

"Brother Lu is a friend of my sister; he has been very good to us."

"You call him Brother Lu?" Zhuo Ting narrowed his eyes, and Song Xiangqiao became alert, knowing the child was about to slip up!

"Yes, my sister is one of Brother Lu’s soldiers."

"You know a lot. So, you know that Brother Lu is a commander?"

"When my sister and I arrived in Luoshe, Brother Lu was still a military chief."

Tang Xiaocao’s line of thought was clear, and he responded calmly to Zhuo Ting’s questions.

Even Tang Xiaohua was somewhat surprised at this point.

"Brother Lu is a military chief, and your sister is just a soldier. Why would Brother Lu be so good to you?" Zhuo Ting asked.

Tang Xiaocao thought for a moment and earnestly said,

"My sister is beautiful."

"... "

"In your adults’ world, when a man is good to a woman, does that not mean he wants to marry her?"
