Zhutian: Since I was a child, I have been happy to be a father

On the morning of the 31nd.

Chen Tao first went out to buy groceries, and after returning home, he personally decorated the house.

After tonight, it will not only be a new year, but also a new century, and a new millennium.

So, it is necessary to celebrate.

In fact, there are corresponding celebrations all over the country, but Chen Tao does not intend to go out and join in the fun.

Ruan Guan also agreed.

If possible, she hopes to spend a sweet time alone with her boyfriend on a day like this.

Unfortunately, the girl named Wang will definitely not let her get her wish.

Having guessed this, and thinking that she would be able to marry her boyfriend in a few months, she no longer wanted to be angry with this girl. She even deliberately did not return to Zhijiang to accompany her boyfriend as soon as she got off work yesterday afternoon, giving this girl the opportunity to take advantage of her.

Wang Xiaoqin did not disappoint her kindness.

Not only did she try on her clothes, she also tried out her bed, pillow, clothes, and her boyfriend.

Although the last one was just a trial version without all functions unlocked, Wang Xiaoqin was still very satisfied with it.

Just as her lover came back from shopping for groceries and doing housework, she put on an apron, washed and dried quilts and clothes, and acted like a good housewife.

At 9:15 in the morning, Chen Tao came back after throwing away the garbage.

Wang Xiaoqin was on the second-floor balcony, waving and laughing:
"Brother~ come up and help me, I can't reach it."

In fact, she could easily hang out the clothes and quilts with a small stool, or simply take them to the garden downstairs to dry, but she refused to do so and asked her brother to help her.

Chen Tao washed his hands on the first floor first and then went upstairs.

"elder brother!"

Wang Xiaoqin shouted, then jumped into Chen Tao's arms, held his face, and started doing bad things.

Chen Tao did not refuse, but after it was over, he still joked:

"Xiaoqin, why do I remember that you asked me to come here to help you dry the quilt?"

Wang Xiaoqin said with reason: "Zilu received the ox, so I can't help you for nothing, so I must give you some benefits! Are you satisfied with the benefits just now? Do you want more?"

Chen Tao shook his head.

Wang Xiaoqin said jealously, "Yes, your Ruan Ruan will be back soon. She is so tall and big. I am so much worse than her. How can you look down on me when you have her? Even if I shamelessly put it in front of you, you won't eat it. You don't like me at all."

Chen Tao put some force on his hands to adjust the girl to a more comfortable position, then pretended to be helpless and sighed:

"If I don't like you, why would I be nice to you? But..."

Before he could even utter the word "yes", Wang Xiaoqin had already covered his mouth with her hand and said with tears in her eyes:

"I only want to hear words like 'you love me, you like me very much'. I don't want to hear anything else. I know you are planning to marry Ruan Ruan, right? You already have me, why do you want another Ruan Ruan to appear? Wuuuuu~"

At the end of her words, she couldn't help but bury her face in Chen Tao's arms and burst into tears.

In fact, she had already known the news as early as the summer vacation.

At that time, Ruan Guan and Zheng Wei were secretly discussing wedding dresses, which she overheard by accident. She almost cried.

Later, of course, she didn't give up.

But someone has a heart of stone. Even though he is clearly deeply moved, he always holds back and does not cross the line at the last moment.

This determination made her extremely sad.

Chen Tao stroked her back gently and said seriously:

"Xiaoqin, I'm a scumbag. I love Ruanruan and I also like you. I won't let you leave me, absolutely not."

"Then marry me! If you marry me, I can tolerate you going to her."

"Can it be the other way around?"

"No! No! If you marry Ruan Ruan, I will leave you and marry another man, give birth to children for him, and take care of his husband and children."

"No matter who it is, if he dares to approach you, I will find someone to sink him into the Qiantang River."

"Asshole! Scumbag!"

"Xiaoqin, promise me that you won't leave me in the future."

"Ouch~ It hurts, brother, I really feel so bad~"

"..."

In the afternoon, a quarter after two.

With the air conditioner on, the temperature in the living room is very high.

Sofa in the living room on the second floor.

Wang Xiaoqin was wearing a nightgown, holding a stuffed bear, and resting her head on someone's thigh. She felt much better.

For now, she has learned that someone will not leave her, nor will he let her go.

This is very good, which means she will have opportunities in the future.

She has figured it out. Since she doesn't like other men anyway, she might as well continue to pester her brother and wait patiently for the day when Ruan Guan can't bear it anymore!

A quarter of an hour later, it was half past two.

Ruan Guan drove a silver luxury car known as the Butterfly Run and arrived at the door of her villa with Zheng Wei, who wanted to spend the New Year's Eve with her.

In fact, before this, she also went to the Fu family and gave this elder sister some Jinling specialties.

Sister Fu feels guilty.

After all, except for weekends, Ruan Guan's boyfriend often sleeps at her house, or to be more specific, sleeps in her arms.

Chen Tao put down his phone, pinched his childhood sweetheart's pretty face, and said, "Ruan Ruan and the others are back."

Wang Xiaoqin snorted, "Come back if you want! She has already snatched my lover away, do you still want me to welcome her back?"

Having said that, she still hugged the stuffed bear and followed Chen Tao downstairs to meet her love rival.

She held this thing not just to act cute, but because this doll was given to her by Chen Tao and she couldn't let it go.

First floor.

Ruan Guan, who had not seen her boyfriend for half a month and missed him very much, immediately hugged him and kissed him when she saw him.

Wang Xiaoqin curled her lips and thought to herself: "I drank my brother's first soup today."

Zheng Wei stood aside, looking at the girl's pretty eyes which seemed swollen from crying, and was hesitant to speak.

Ruan Guan let go of Chen Tao, looked at her carefully, and said with concern:

"Xiaoqin, what's wrong with you? You seemed to have been crying?"

Zheng Wei secretly complained: "What else can I do? I was bullied by someone!"

If Wang Xiaoqin's experience was not so similar to hers, she would definitely think that Ruan Guan was too weak and should force her boyfriend to drive away this love rival.

Unfortunately, she is another "Wang Xiaoqin" in this world, and there are some things she really can't say.

Wang Xiaoqin denied it, "I didn't cry! It's just that I played with my brother until very late last night and I didn't sleep well, so my eyes are swollen."

Hearing this, even though she knew what was going on, Ruan Guan couldn't help but glare at her boyfriend.

Chen Tao blinked, indicating that he was not doing anything wrong, and then asked with concern:

"Are you hungry? I have three steamed buns and dumplings in the kitchen. They should still be hot. Go eat something to fill your stomach. It's still early for dinner!" This feeling of an old married couple...

Zheng Wei, who had just broken up with her boyfriend less than ten days ago, was in a complicated mood.

Inside the restaurant.

While drinking Longjing tea, eating steaming buns and the boiled dried bean curd that she had made but not eaten in the morning, Zheng Wei introduced Chen Tao to what had happened recently.

Ruan Guan would interrupt from time to time.

In early December, Zheng Wei learned that Chen Xiaozheng had been recommended to study abroad on a government scholarship.

But she did not speak out immediately, but wanted to wait for Chen Xiaozheng to confess.

As a result, twenty days passed and this boyfriend, just like Lin Jing, whom she once deeply loved, did not tell her that he was going to study abroad.

Although Zheng Wei was very angry, she was willing to defend him, for example, he was struggling and had not yet decided how to tell her.

But on the day of the winter solstice, she couldn't help it anymore and took the initiative to bring up the matter.

Chen Xiaozheng was shocked, but he didn't lie and confessed to her.

Zheng Wei said that she could also try hard to seek opportunities to go abroad, or if all else failed, she could wait for him to return from his studies abroad.

Chen Xiaozheng refused.

Perhaps because of the lack of intimate contact, the feelings were not that deep, so Chen Xiaozheng did not give up the place rashly.

He didn't want to live a hard life anymore, nor did he want Zheng Wei to live a hard life with him. He wanted to seize this opportunity and pursue progress.

As for Zheng Wei's request to wait for him to come back, he only replied: "Don't wait, because I may not wait for you."

This is because, firstly, he listened to his mother's words and felt that Zheng Wei was not suitable for him; secondly, he was going to study abroad seriously, which would probably take several years, and it was really hard to predict what the future would be like, so he couldn't delay Zheng Wei.

So, just be straightforward and cut it off!
Maybe one day in the future, he will meet Zheng Wei again. When he is successful and famous, he won’t have to worry about material things anymore, and he can be with Zheng Wei again.

Zheng Wei was also very straightforward. She didn't beg or even cry.

In her words, this means accepting defeat.

The objective laws of this world will not change because of her broken heart. She may be so sad that she wants to drown in darkness, but the sun will still rise as usual tomorrow.

After listening to this, Chen Tao put down the warm teacup and said with a smile:
"To be honest, I'm really looking forward to what kind of relationship you will be in when you meet again."

Zheng Wei shook her head and said, "I don't want to meet him again. Since we broke up, we should disappear from each other's world. Why do we need to meet again?"

Wang Xiaoqin snorted, "Why don't you meet? You have to let him see that you can still do better without him! You crush him with your huge success in all aspects, which will prove that it is his fault, not yours! He said he won't wait for you, and he also told you not to wait for him. To put it bluntly, studying abroad is just an excuse. He just changed his mind and doesn't like you anymore. Otherwise, what's the big deal about waiting for a few years? It's been almost ten years since someone said he wanted to marry me, right? I'm still waiting! I will always wait!"

"Pfft...cough..."

Ruan Guan and Zheng Wei had been drinking tea since she started her long speech. When they heard the last few sentences, the two best friends almost choked on their tea at the same time.

Chen Tao picked up some shredded chicken with chopsticks and handed it to Wang Xiaoqin's lips.

The girl rolled her eyes at him but ate it anyway, without saying anything more like a battle cry or confrontational speech.

Ruan Guan pretended not to hear. After all, in a few months, she would be her legal wife, and Cricket Wang Xiaoqin could only be her bridesmaid.

And Zheng Wei would say even less.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long.

By evening, it was completely dark.

Some people can't wait to let the magnificent fireworks bloom in the sky.

Chen Tao brought the last dish of steamed seafood with garlic vermicelli to the table, and then took the mobile phone handed to him by Ruan Guan.

The mother-in-law has something to say.

five minutes later.

The hot pot with mushroom soup base is bubbling with steam and an enticing aroma.

With a "cheers", four high-heeled glasses filled with light yellow champagne gently touched above the hot pot, announcing the official start of tonight's New Year's Eve dinner.

After drinking the aperitif, the group enjoyed the food and chatted.

But there was someone with ulterior motives who deliberately urged people to drink:

"Ruan Ruan, I heard from my brother that you can drink a lot, but I don't believe it. Why don't we have a competition, okay?"

"Are you trying to get me drunk so that you can harm your brother? Or are you trying to take advantage of my drunkenness and bite me to vent your anger? I won't let you succeed!"

Ruan Guan secretly complained, raised his glass and clinked it with Wang Xiaoqin, and said with a smile:

"Wine is not a good thing. Let's not compete with each other. Just drink according to your own amount to avoid harming your body."

Although she said this, Ruan Guan had actually made up her mind to try her best to knock this girl down so that she would not disturb the good night between her and her boyfriend.

So, with Zheng Wei's confused eyes that she couldn't understand, Ruan Guan and Wang Xiaoqin were like real sisters, arm in arm, picking up food for each other and sipping red wine in harmony.

"What's going on?"

Zheng Wei also drank a lot, and her brain was not working well. She couldn't figure things out, so she gently kicked Chen Tao under the table, hoping to get a reasonable explanation from him.

As for Chen Tao, he pretended not to understand her look and raised his glass to invite her to drink with him.

'Just drink it!'

With delicious food and wine in front of her, Zheng Wei didn't think too much and just drank.

As a result, of the four people who originally wanted to celebrate New Year's Eve together, two were missing before nine o'clock.

For safety reasons, Ruan Guan sent Zheng Wei back to her room to rest, while Chen Tao went upstairs holding his childhood sweetheart.

Wang Xiaoqin was really drunk. She hugged Chen Tao's neck and muttered:

"Brother, brother, don't worry, I won't leave you, and you can't, can't abandon me..."

After settling her down, Chen Tao came out of her room and went to the living room.

After a while, Ruan Guan also came over with a little tipsy, threw herself into his arms, and whispered in his ear: "Hubby, I deliberately didn't go back to Zhijiang yesterday. Shouldn't you thank me?"

Chen Tao hummed: "I should thank you indeed."

Ruan Guan said coquettishly: "Then can you tell me, did you do something bad behind your wife's back last night? And how did you make Xiaoqin cry today?"

Chen Tao rubbed her pretty face, "She cried because I told her that I was going to marry you."

Ruan Guan was very satisfied. "Then tell me quickly, what bad thing did you do last night? Don't talk, tell me with your actions."

"Not so good?"

"What's wrong?"

"I dare not say."

"Tell me, I forgive you. No matter what bad things you did, I forgive you!"

"Xiaoqin's clothes will definitely be very tight for you, is this okay?"

"...Alas~ This won't happen again."

Starting from eleven o'clock, the sound of firecrackers continued, and the whole sky was filled with various colors.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Ruan Guan snuggled in her boyfriend's warm embrace, watching this beautiful scene, her heart and soul intoxicated.

As the bells rang, the new millennium arrived. (End of this chapter)
