CHAPTER 260: CHAPTER 255: THE MALE PROTAGONIST WITH X-RAY VISION

"Mom, who is that?" Tong Mengmeng asked softly and shyly.

Tong Li didn’t notice her daughter’s unusual demeanor; she thought her daughter was just shy around strangers.

"He is a friend who helped Mom today, and he’s also a student at A University. You should study hard and try to get into a school as good as big brother’s," Tong Li took every opportunity to focus on her daughter’s education.

So big brother is so impressive, a student from A University! Tong Mengmeng’s eyes lit up, and she felt a thump in her heart: "Then Mom, can you ask him to be my tutor?"

But Tong Li was taken aback by her daughter’s request; it was the first time her daughter had taken the initiative to ask for a tutor! Being in her rebellious phase, her daughter had driven away several tutors before, and now that she was asking on her own, Tong Li was of course happy. But she hesitated immediately after, as Ling Batian didn’t seem to be short of money; would he agree to tutor her daughter?

When Ling Batian saw Tong Li’s daughter following her downstairs, he was also shocked. He hadn’t expected Tong Li’s young daughter to be so pretty!

She looked a lot like her mother, Tong Li, but was shorter due to her age. However, her features were delicate. Ling Batian marveled inwardly at the resemblance between the two faces, mature women are charming and flavorful, young girls are fresh and appealing, truly a pair of exceptional mother and daughter beauties!

But immediately after, Ling Batian scolded himself harshly, what was he thinking? Tong Li’s daughter was clearly underage! He must not make a mistake!

"Big brother, what’s your name? My name is Mengmeng, can you be my tutor from now on?" Tong Mengmeng, seeing her mother hesitating, decided to speak up.

"Ah!" Ling Batian hadn’t reacted yet, "What do you mean?"

Tong Li gave an embarrassed smile: "Batian, don’t mind her, Mengmeng is just kidding. You’re so busy, how can you have time to tutor her?"

Tong Mengmeng pouted unhappily, "I don’t care; I want this brother to tutor me, or else I won’t study."

"Mengmeng!" Tong Li was getting a little angry seeing her daughter being so unreasonable.

"It’s okay," Ling Batian quickly said, "I forgot to mention that I also live in this villa area. If I’m free, tutoring Mengmeng shouldn’t be a big problem."

"Yay! That’s great!" Tong Mengmeng cheered. Seeing Ling Batian’s handsome and charming appearance made her like him even more. He really was the Prince Charming of her dreams, so good to her.

Tong Li smiled gratefully at Ling Batian’s agreement: "In that case, I have to trouble you again. Nanny Zhang has finished cooking, let’s go eat. I don’t know if it’s to your taste."

Ling Batian rose and nodded his thanks, looking quite the gentleman: "Then I’ll help myself."

The dinner, peppered with Tong Mengmeng’s playful banter and occasional whining, lasted more than an hour. By the time they had eaten their fill, it was late into the night. Nanny Zhang did not live in the villa, so she left after making dinner. Tong Mengmeng, still a child, went to bed after washing up, forced to sleep by Tong Li. In the large living room, only Tong Li and Ling Batian were left.

Tong Li knew Ling Batian had that kind of interest in her, but she really felt awkward. After all, he was just a kid! Not even that much older than her daughter!

Tong Li was hesitant, but Ling Batian wasn’t someone to wait passively for beauty to fall into his lap. Since she didn’t initiate, he would create the opportunity.

"Ouch!" Ling Batian intentionally spilled the after-dinner tea on himself. In an instant, his abdomen and thigh area were soaked with the tea.

"Are you okay?" Tong Li looked at Ling Batian nervously, noticing that he was soaking wet, she picked up a tissue and started to wipe where he was drenched.

But as Tong Li wiped, she noticed something amiss, and awkwardly stopped her motion, petrifying in the process.

She opened her mouth but finally sighed at Ling Batian, "If you don’t mind, there are still clothes of my late husband in my room, go and change into them."

"That’s going to trouble you." Ling Batian smiled smugly, feeling a small thrill in his heart.

However, after entering Tong Li’s room, Ling Batian did not change his pants immediately; instead, he took a shower in the bathroom and came out wearing only a short towel, exposing his eight-pack abs perfectly in front of Tong Li.

"How could you..." Tong Li was shocked, and immediately turned away, refusing to look at him again.

Ling Batian wouldn’t let her hide anymore, he assertively held her in his arms, and breathed into her ear, "Sister Li, don’t you understand what I mean? I like you, otherwise, why do you think I purposely stayed this late? And why did I intentionally spill the tea on myself? Huh?"

"No, we can’t." Surrounded by his intense masculine scent, Tong Li was almost breathless. She wanted to struggle but couldn’t free herself, so she showed her weakness to Ling Batian, "Batian, let go of me, you’re too young, I’m much older than you, we’re not suitable."

"I don’t think we’re unsuitable, Sister Li, I like you." Ling Batian whispered sweet nothings into Tong Li’s ear, then gently kissed her earlobe.

Tong Li’s husband had been dead for many years, and although she went out to relieve herself occasionally, nothing like this had ever happened at home, so she was somewhat panicked, not knowing what to do now?

Her daughter was still at home, right? How could Ling Batian be so bold? Wasn’t he afraid of her calling the police?

A tense thread strung tightly in Tong Li’s mind, as she thought about Ling Batian, and yet she felt she was doing something wrong, that she should refuse him.

"Sister Li, do you really want to reject me?"

"Sister Li, you fancy me too, don’t you?" Ling Batian whispered softly into her ear.

"You!" Tong Li was struggling internally, but her body was limp, leaning against Ling Batian.

"You really are a little scoundrel." Tong Li murmured, then gently closed her eyes.

Looking at the enchanting Tong Li, Ling Batian kissed her impatiently, his large hands encircling her back, as the temperature in the room rose higher and higher.

Tong Li had completely abandoned her own bottom line.

At this moment, Tong Li did not know that her daughter, whom she thought was already asleep, was standing at the door of her own room, stunned by the sight of her mother being kissed by Ling Batian. Tong Mengmeng was shocked by what she saw.

How could this be? How could Big Brother do this to Mom? These things weren’t in the books, right? Why are they doing this? That’s her mom! That’s her Big Brother! Tong Mengmeng’s heart was breaking as she left the door.

Big Brother had promised to help her with her homework, she had it all planned out, when she grew up, she would marry Big Brother! Tong Mengmeng cried as she returned to her room. In her dream, a grown-up her happily entered the wedding chapel with Big Brother.
