Luo Meiling, who was speaking softly on the phone, turned to Zhou Wang with a slight smile in response to his apologetic look, indicating that she didn't mind. She even picked up a lighter, as if to help Zhou Wang light his cigarette.
Zhou Wang quickly gestured that it was unnecessary, but as he took the lighter, he gently brushed against Luo Meiling's fingers, causing her cheeks to flush slightly.
Only then did he leisurely light his cigarette and, as he exhaled a plume of smoke, he turned to the wide-eyed Shao Xiaoqi and chuckled softly,
"I can stop being your uncle, but do you believe... I could directly become your dad?"
"I..."
Under Luo Meiling's surprised gaze, the haughty Shao Xiaoqi just barely managed to swallow back the word "damn."
Once Luo Meiling wasn't watching, the flustered and purple-faced Shao Xiaoqi glared at Zhou Wang angrily, "You wouldn't dare!"
