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

October 3rd.

The sun rose as usual, dyeing the sky orange. The faint morning light penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on the world, bringing warmth to this increasingly bleak autumn and awakening the flowers, plants and trees that had been sleeping all night.

After taking a breath, Chen Tao closed the window again, and the room fell into peace and tranquility again.

It's still early now, so Chen Tao plans to sleep a little longer.

When he returned to the bed, Yi Yao, who had also woken up, immediately clung to him and said jealously:

"You've been looking at me for so long, you're not just looking at the scenery, are you? You stinky scumbag, you're thinking about other women so early in the morning!"

Chen Tao snorted, closed his eyes, adjusted his sleeping position, and ignored her.

Yi Yao became more and more excited, stretched out her hand to grab his ear, and said through gritted teeth: "Are you thinking about Xiangxiang? You are still thinking about her in your heart even though I am with you, what a bastard!"

Chen Tao slapped her on the butt with a "slap".

"You fight, you fight!"

Yi Yao became even more obsessed: "Just beat me to death! It's just right for me to die, so that I can turn a blind eye to it, and it will also be convenient for you and Xiangxiang to live together in the future!"

Back then, the famous lawyer Huang Tangjing also made such a request, and Bao Longxing, the governor of eight prefectures, beat him.

Chen Tao followed the example of his predecessors and slapped him a few times, but he didn't use much force, it was more like kneading.

Yi Yao, who was unwilling to fulfill her promise to have morning tea at her mother's house, looked at Mo Shuang with a watery gaze, as if she was looking at the resistance. She felt quite pleased and hummed softly:

"Husband~Husband~"

Chen Tao said softly and deliberately: "My husband is here, you are screaming like a wild cat, what do you want to do?"

Yi Yao hugged his neck tightly and kept rubbing his face, but she said stubbornly: "Yaoyao doesn't want to do anything, your stinky husband is not allowed to think about other women now, especially Xiangxiang!"

Chen Tao smiled and said, "Okay, I don't want to miss Xiangxiang anymore, I only want you, can you let me sleep for a while?"

"No! I can't sleep, so as my husband, you have to talk to me and not just think about yourself."

"Is it all right if I just talk?"

"Hurry up!"

"..."

Eight o'clock.

Yi Yao let out a long sigh and commented sharply:

"Hubby, you are good in everything, but you have one shortcoming, which is that you are too fickle. If you can correct this in the future, you will be perfect!"

Chen Tao didn't say anything, just buried himself in her arms and pretended to sleep.

Yi Yao was very upset. She scratched the scumbag on the back a few times and sighed, "Stinky scumbag!"

Ten twenty.

Yi Yao walked out of the bathroom, changed into a blue skirt, put on makeup in front of the mirror, and asked her boyfriend to help her blow dry her hair.

She now has long hair, and yesterday afternoon, she went to the barber shop with Gu Senxiang to get her hair permed. After all, she is going to college now, so she needs to be more fashionable!

Even He Xiu Lian knew to get a new ball head!

Chen Tao also trimmed his hair. Although he didn't like to have long hair, Gu Senxiang, Yi Yao and even Lixia didn't allow him to have a neat and handsome hairstyle. Fortunately, they didn't mind him wearing a green Wolf Warrior suit.

After all, he has such a great figure and is a natural clothes hanger, so he can wear anything.

Today I didn’t wear a green suit, but a dark blue suit, and paired it with a steel case and white dial Daytona.

As for Yi Yao, she also chose a Cartier Blue Balloon, which is a new model that was just launched in August. It will be very popular in the future, but it is not cheap now.

Therefore, even though Yi Yao drove a small polo to school and behaved in a low-key manner, there were still rumors that she was a rich girl.

Not to mention big items like watches, just small jewelry, such as Van Cleef & Arpels' four-leaf clover series, can easily cost tens of thousands.

It is now 2007. How much is the housing price per square meter in Shanghai?
If she is not a rich lady, then who is?
In fact, she doesn't want it either, thinking that her husband is spending money recklessly. But since she has already bought it, she can't just leave it unused and let her mother wear it, right?

She was just a filial daughter and couldn't do that.

Now her husband has cheated on her again. If she doesn't spend her husband's money, will Xiangxiang spend it? She will change her car next month, to a BMW! As for the little Polo, it will be left to Lin Huafeng who will retake the third subject after the holiday.

Eleven o'clock sharp.

Chen Tao and his companion officially set off to have lunch at Lin Hua's mansion.

The two places were only six or seven kilometers apart. In less than twenty minutes, I drove into the community and met acquaintances again.

Qi Ming carried two watermelons and walked towards his home.

Suddenly, a loudspeaker rang out, and an unforgettable voice came:

"Qi Ming!"

He turned around and saw that it was indeed his childhood sweetheart, who was sitting in another man's car and greeted him with a smile:
"You came back for the holidays, why didn't you contact me?"

Qi Ming felt warm in his heart and said happily:

"I was just about to contact you and ask you to have dinner together tonight. Are you free?"

Yi Yao turned around and looked at her boyfriend. Seeing him nod to her, she smiled and replied:

"It's settled then! Let's have dinner first and then go sing tonight."

Qi Ming is a warm-hearted man, so he naturally wouldn't mind his childhood sweetheart asking for advice from her boyfriend.

He smiled and looked at Yi Yao carefully. Seeing that she was becoming more and more beautiful and was obviously living a good life, he felt relieved.

Yi Yao invited again: "Don't just stand there like an idiot. The watermelon is so heavy. Let him take you downstairs."

Qi Ming did not refuse.

By the time he went upstairs, there was only one watermelon left.

This is not surprising.

In the past, he always saved his milk for Yi Yao, so it was normal to give her a watermelon now.

Li Wanxin felt that something was wrong and asked the reason.

Of course Qi Ming did not hide it.

After all, today is different from the past.

Now Yi Yao is also a college student at a prestigious university, her mother Lin Huafeng has become a good wife, and he himself has successfully entered Tsinghua University.

In this way, Li Wanxin naturally would no longer care about Yi Yao and think that she was a vixen who seduced Qi Ming, but she still didn't get along with Lin Huafeng.

Even though they meet each other every day, even buy groceries together and bargain together, they still quarrel when talking about what happened in the past.

Li Wanxin thought that Lin Huafeng was just lucky. If it weren't for Brother Tao, she would have to hang out in the alley.

Lin Huafeng retorted that although she did rely on her son-in-law, the good life that Li Wanxin is living now was also brought to you by your husband, right?
They all rely on men, what’s the difference?
Li Wan was indignant and told her about her dark history as a technician.

Lin Huafeng argued that she just relied on more men, which was the same as her only relying on her husband. There was no difference between selling herself to ten people and selling herself to one person!
Li Wan was furious and ignored this evil neighbor for several days.

But after all, they had been together for more than ten years. After coming to this high-end residential area where neighbors take advantage of each other, they really had no friends. They could only reconcile again and continue to love and hate each other.

***
Lin Huafeng was an experienced person, so she naturally guessed that her daughter broke the appointment in order to enjoy a warm morning with her son-in-law, so she didn't ask any more questions and just concentrated on cooking.

At 11:40, she served the last dish of turtle soup to the table.

Yi Yao blushed.

Look at this table of four dishes and two soups!
Sea cucumber with scallions, lamb stewed with carrots, stir-fried kidney, oxtail stewed with tomatoes.

Old hen stewed with Astragalus!
Turtle stewed with ginseng and wolfberry!
What does mom want to do?
Can you let the scumbag take care of his health so that he can go and play with Xiangxiang?
Lin Huafeng said with a smile: "Son-in-law, you have to go to school and make money, and Yaoyao doesn't know how to take care of people, you are tired!"

As he spoke, he served a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Chen Tao.

Why not turtle soup? Because it’s too hot right out of the pot.

As a mother-in-law, she couldn't let her son-in-law down!
Chen Tao completely ignored Yi Yao's strange look, took a bite, and gave his evaluation:

"It's cooked to perfection, but the taste is a little bland."

When Lin Huafeng heard this, she immediately got up and went to the kitchen to get salt.

Taking this opportunity, Yi Yao lowered his voice and asked:
"Honey, do you think today's meal is weird?"

Chen Tao shook his head and said, "Do you really think I'm made of iron? I'm just an ordinary person with mortal bones. I can't produce milk and mare's milk like cows and horses do just by eating grass."

Lin Huafeng came over and saw the couple biting each other's ears. She suddenly guessed what they were talking about, smiled but said nothing, and added salt to the chicken soup.

Now that she no longer has to sell herself to save money for her daughter, she naturally has to care about the lives of her daughter and son-in-law. Her sincerity can be seen from the delicious dishes on the table.

Chen Tao ate with relish and was full.

Then go back to the room for a nap.

Yi Yao did not accompany him, but was in the living room, chatting with Lin Huafeng.

13:40.

Chen Tao got up, washed, and said he was going to Lujiazui to meet a client.

Yi Yao had no doubts.

As the person sleeping next to her, she already knew that her boyfriend made his fortune by writing novels, and then got rich quickly through financial speculation. He also published articles in various magazines and newspapers and provided relevant consulting services to certain companies. He seemed to be able to handle everything with ease, but he really couldn't be with her around the clock.

So, what's so strange about him going to meet clients?
However, this is just an appearance. The so-called serious work is just a way for Brother Tao to manage his time!

For example, now, after he drove through the Fuxing East Road Tunnel, he went directly to the nearby community to find Lixia.

Lixia doesn't come here often, but she happened to be free this morning and asked a cleaning lady to clean the house.

After Chen Tao entered the room, he did not see Lixia, but from the little black leather shoes she left at the entrance, he knew that she had not gone out.

Chen Tao is not a member of the shoe bar and is not interested in these shoes.

After he changed his shoes, he went straight to the master bedroom, trying to find Lixia who was playing hide-and-seek with him.

He opened the closets one by one, but still couldn't find Lixia, so he walked into the master bathroom unhurriedly. After searching for a long time, he came out confused, sat down by the bed, and said to himself:
"Tsk, this shouldn't be the case! Lixia knew I was coming over, so she wouldn't go out, let alone hide from me. Where is she?"

The obvious bulge in the quilt, which he had deliberately ignored, was suddenly lifted up, trying to cover him from behind.

Quilt demon!

At this critical moment, Chen Tao's instinct gave him a warning in advance, and his body dodged to the side before he realized it. Then he jumped up and subdued the demon, asking:

"Tell me quickly, did you hide my Lixia?"

Not only did the demon refuse to speak, he also laughed smugly.

How unreasonable!
Chen Tianshi has always taken it as his responsibility to subdue all the demons in the world. He did not delay any more, lifted half of the quilt, and interrogated him severely.

His swordsmanship was so domineering and his magic power was so strong, how could the demons stand up to him? In less than two quarters of an hour, they surrendered and begged for mercy.

"Don't tear my socks~"

Lixia was wearing a dress, a pair of white stockings, and a headband, looking like a quiet literary girl. But now she didn't have that kind of temperament at all, her pretty face was flushed, her eyes were like silk, pure and charming, really charming.

Chen Tao loosened his hand, and the slight sound made when it rebounded made Lixia tremble slightly.

Another hour later, she pressed her pretty face, whose blush was fading, against the chest of someone else's boyfriend and said, "Qiqi asked me to have dinner with you."

Chen Tao asked curiously, "Does she usually keep in touch with you?"

"No. From the day we celebrated together after the college entrance examination until now, she hasn't contacted me. But Xiao Si has used QQ to chat with me quite a lot."

"What? How dare this stinky little bastard steal my girl? He's rebelling!"

"Hate it~ It's obviously you who stole his girl!"

"How could that be? I never pursued Cheng Qiqi and Li Yanran! As for you, you haven't even been his girlfriend, so how can you be considered his girlfriend?"

"Then I'm not your girlfriend either!"

"How can you not be? You called me hubby eighteen times today alone!"

"Are there so many?"

"Of course, how about you call twice more to make it an integer?"

"Hubby~ I'll only scream once, I won't scream again today."

"That's not up to you..."

"Hubby~ Stop teasing me, I still have to go to the banquet! What do you think her purpose is in looking for me this time?"

"Friends having dinner together doesn't necessarily have to have a purpose, right? I guess she was hurt by Xiao Si again recently, so she wants to get comfort from you, her best friend."

"Nonsense, how could she be so stupid as to let me comfort her?"

"Since you're not seeking comfort, there's only one possibility left."

"what?"

"Before I tell you, hubby, I want a reward first."

Driven by curiosity, Lixia did not hesitate at all. She immediately stood up, held Brother Tao's handsome face, and gave him enough rewards.

Brother Tao no longer kept the secret and analyzed:
"In my opinion, Qiqi wouldn't ask you out for dinner herself, but if the hateful Xiaosi wants to see you but doesn't want to invite you in person for some reason, then isn't it reasonable for Qiqi to come out?"

Lixia shook her head and said, "But she said there was no one else."

Chen Tao pulled his hair out and said, "Haha, that being said, if Xiao Si comes over by then, and makes the excuse of an accidental encounter, do you believe it or not?"

Lixia hugged him again and sighed:
"It shouldn't be that serious, right? Qiqi has a bad temper, how could she regret agreeing to help Xiaosi date me?"

Chen Tao asked back: "How can she have such a temper in front of Xiao Si whom she loves so much? Is there anything she won't do for Xiao Si?"

Stinky, disgusting...

Lixia complained: "You are also a philandering and stinky husband!"

At seven o'clock in the evening.

Chen Tao, Yi Yao, the Gu siblings, and Qi Ming had dinner together.

On Lixia's side, she also met Cheng Qiqi, who had asked her to have dinner with him, and Xiao Si, who happened to come to this restaurant for dinner.

Cheng Qiqi was very reluctant, but still asked on behalf of Xiao Si:
"Lixia, how are you doing lately? Do you have a boyfriend?"

After a moment of silence, Lixia said happily:

"Yes! He is my classmate. We just confirmed our relationship before the holiday. We also went on a date and watched a movie in the afternoon. If he hadn't had something urgent to do at home tonight, he would definitely pester me to bring him to dinner. He is so clingy!"

After saying that, she pretended to casually lift her soft long hair, revealing the suspicious marks on her fair neck.

Cheng Qiqi was very happy.

Xiao Si's face turned green. (End of this chapter)
