The Innocent Wife of Scheming President novel Chapter 144

He had indeed just returned from the desert，and he hadn't had a bath for days.His body smelled of dust, and his beard was unshaven.His long beard made him look old, but not so old as to be called grandpa.What a rude little girl!

"How rude are you!Speak respectfully to your elders. Didn't your parents teach you?Don't call me grandpa, call me uncle."

The man looked so fierce that people kept their distance from him.Though they were all watching him, Annie tugged at his thick black beard as he bent down to speak to her.Children was not afraid of evil forces.

Olive was so afraid that she would run up to her. She was afraid that Annie would annoy him.Ivy pulled him over, smiling,"it's okay. He's a friend of mine."

Little Annie was made to laugh,her eyes and eyebrows bent with laughter.She said,"Mom Chloe taught me a word, uncle beard, do you want to hear it?"

"Well.OK."He pretended to listen carefully. Although he looked fierce, he really liked the little girl.He felt that the little girl was brave, and that it was rare for a child not to be afraid of him, and she was a little girl!

Because of his rugged appearance,and he had a marked scar on his face, which extended from his eyebrows to his ears.The first reaction of a child of her age seeing him was either to cower behind the adult's back or to cry in terror,as if he was the devil.He was very sad.

The little girl was an exception, breaking his record for being isolated from children.

"You are an old man but you don't respect others."She held out her little finger and said the words carefully, counting each word.This sentence made the man angry.

Olive was helpless.The little girl learned from Chloe's quarrel with her parents.

The crowd laughed, and the crowd grew.

The man picked up her collar with one finger and lifted her up to sit on the bar. "Didn't your parents teach you to be polite when you talk to someone?Aren't you afraid I'll spank you?"

She shook her head and there was no fear in her eyes.She looked at him and asked, "uncle, do you think it's shameful for adults to bully children?"

He felt completely helpless. What kind of girl was she?Well, they met today, and he would educate her in place of his parents.

"Little girl,tell me,where are your parent?"

She said dismissively,"They're right behind you."

The man turned and saw Ivy, surprised. "Don't tell me this girl is your adopted daughter."

"Yes,you are right."Ivy smiled and opened his arms to Annie.

She jumped into his arms, small arms and legs like a sloth around his neck and waist,making eyes at the man, "I know you, I saw your picture in the godfather's house."

The man was surprised that the little girl was teasing him.His fierce face became more terrible. He was angry, and his black eyes were fixed on her.

Olive smiled and said,"Please don't be angry. She's just a little girl."

The man glanced at her. "She is your daughter?"

She nodded awkwardly, glad that the person she had met today was Ivy's friend.If they meet an alcoholic,and the alcoholic was teased by a little girl, the consequences would be very serious.

As a girl, Annie's character was too active.She would get into trouble sooner or later.

The man smiled. "Interesting."

Olive did not understand him, and when she saw Ivy carrying the little girl into the room, she followed him.Chloe was very gossip,so she also followed them.She shouted as she entered,"Hey,why don't you introduce your friend to me?"

Ivy laughed and said,"He is Dave Chou.A gift for Annie's birthday two days later.But he came early."

Dave was amused,"Why I am a gift?Although I am not a martial arts master, I have won several martial arts competitions."

She suddenly understand, Ivy found a martial arts teacher for Annie , the so-called free gift, was he?According to their tone of talking, they should be good and casual friends.

Perhaps because of the shadow left by the past experience, she thought it was good for a girl to learn some self-defense skills. When they chatted about whether it would be better for Annie to learn the popular taekwondo or the traditional Chinese martial arts when she was older, Ivey remembered.

This time, she was grateful to him.

The little girl said, "huh, champion?You are such a show-off. I don't want you to teach me martial arts."

"Hey!The little girl is so bold. Now that I am your master, I will surely accept you."Dave clapped his hands on the table in agreement to accept her,regardless of whether Olive agreed.

Annie climbed over Ivy's body and poked Dave's muscles. "beard, are you as strong as Bruce lee? Can you beat anyone in the world?"

"Annie, be polite when talking to adults."Olive shouted.
