Chapter 380 I will Do What My Wife Says
They went to Lin Fei’s cemetery. Although it was repaired and cleaned up during the whole night, Ouyang Feng was still sad when he saw his daughter rest in such a place. However, he was more grateful to Xiao Lan. If Xiao Lan did not tight her belt and buy this place, maybe there would be no place for him to worship his daughter now.
Xiao Lan praised about Ouyang Ziqian’s ability as well. It was only one night. It was really a big change here. In fact, Xiao Lan was guilty. She tried her best at that time, but she was unable to provide a better place for her friend.
“Grandpa, do you want to change another place for my aunt?” Ouyang Ziqian asked.
“No, this is the place her friend gave her, she grew up here as well. I think she would like to be here. I don’t want to disturb her. But I want to repair this place, making it the best cemetery. Ziqian, you go to deal with it!” Ouyang Feng said.
Finally, they went back to A City. Xia Xiaoluo had mixed feelings this time. However, she chose to believe in Ling Tianyi in her heart. She also wanted to wipe off the haze in her heart as soon as possible. Xia Xiaoluo wanted to be a sunny and happy mommy as before when she met Taotao.
Xia Xiaoluo called Ling Tianyi to tell him that she would come to take Taotao home. Ling Tianyi was worried that Xia Xiaoluo was too tired, so he asked Xia Xiaoluo to go back with Ouyang Feng to have a rest. He would take Taotao home before dinner.
Xia Xiaoluo thought that Taotao could get along with his grandparents for a longer time, so she agreed. Xia Xiaoluo especially talked with Taotao for a few minutes this time. She felt that Taotao was in a good mental state. And he agreed to let daddy take him back before dinner. So Xia Xiaoluo didn’t insist on picking Taotao up anymore.
Taotao hung up and said to Ling Tianyi, “Daddy, actually, I want mommy to pick me up. However, I know that mommy is very tired, so I pretend to prefer to play at my grandparents’ home for a while.”
“Well, Taotao is a sensible little man. In order to let mommy have a rest, you can sacrifice yourself.” Ling Tianyi was very pleased with Taotao’s behavior as well, though he would never let Taotao make himself unhappy.
“Taotao, now I give you three choices to award your good behavior. You can choose one of them as our arrangement this afternoon,” Ling Tianyi said.
“What are the choices?” Taotao opened his eyes curiously.
“First, we can go back to find mommy after lunch at once.” Ling Tianyi looked at the time. There is still half an hour for them to have lunch. No matter which choice Taotao chose, they had to eat something first. Taotao couldn’t be hungry.
“Second, we can take a nap in the afternoon and go to play with sister Xiaoxiao.” Ling Tianyi knew that sister Xiaoxiao was also the tramp card to Taotao.
“Third, you can go anywhere you want to go, such as go shopping, the amus.e.m.e.nt park, the zoo, as long as it’s in A City. But I promised your mommy that I would take you back to have dinner. You can arrange your time in the afternoon, as you like.”
After hearing the three choices, Taotao said without hesitation, “Daddy, I want to go back to find mommy immediately after lunch. I miss mommy. I haven’t seen mommy for a long time. And I want to see my great-grandpa and uncle as well.”
Ling Tianyi was moved when he heard this. “Well, good boy. Daddy also misses your mommy, so we will go to see mommy after lunch!”
Ling Desheng and He Meishu were reluctant to let Taotao leave, but they couldn’t force him to stay. They could only prepare a big lunch for Taotao.
“Taotao, if you want to eat the food in grandma’s home, please come back at any time with your daddy. No matter what you want to eat, we all have that!” He Meishu was reluctant to let Taotao go. She was sad.
“Yea, I know,” Taotao said. “Thank you for taking care of Taotao these days, grandpa and grandma. Taotao will come to see you when I am free.”
Taotao thought that his mother once told him to show grat.i.tude to his grandparents, being a polite child. Therefore, he formally offered his thanks before he left.
“OK. Taotao is so cute, so sensible! I love you.” He Meishu kissed Taotao.
“Taotao, remember what you said. Come to see grandpa and grandma when you are free!” Ling Desheng said. Although he was not good at expressing his feelings, he loved Taotao very much.
Taotao took the initiative to kiss his grandparents. And then, he left with Ling Tianyi.
Ling Tianyi’s car just left. A taxi stopped at the gate. Ling Desheng and He Meishu were still at the gate at that time. They saw a car parking at their gate, so they kept standing there to see who it was.
“Dad, mom!” Ling Tianxue jumped out of the taxi.
“Tianxue, my daughter! You are back finally.” He Meishu was stunned. In recent years, on the one hand, she expected that her son could find her grandson as soon as possible. On the other hand, she expected that her daughter could come back as soon as possible as well.
He Meishu embraced Ling Tianxue and cried for a while. She scolded Ling Tianxue and told her that she missed her.
Ling Desheng looked at them, and then he sighed a relief silently. He had been worried about his daughter for so many years, but he was not good at expressing his feelings. Now he saw his daughter come back, standing in front of him safely, he just sighed a relief. Ling Desheng suddenly felt down-to-earth. These days, his son brought his grandson back, and now his daughter went back home. If everything went well, his family could finally be reunited.
“Mom, where’s my brother? Where’s my little nephew?” Ling Tianxue asked.
“They just left a few minutes ago!” He Meishu said. Thinking of Taotao, He Meishu sighed again. She really wanted to see this lovely grandson every day.
“They left? I come back to see my little nephew, but I still was too late.” Ling Tianxue stamped her foot. “When will they come back?”
“I don’t know! I have no right to make the decisions on my grandson’s affairs.” He Meishu shook her head helplessly. Although Taotao was her grandson, she could not be the master of him.
In fact, He Meishu was very regretful. If she didn’t make Ling Tianyi and Qiao Anna together, Qiao Anna would not have any chance. But if her son and Xia Xiaoluo had been together all the time, she could have been with her grandson earlier. In that way, she could ask Xia Xiaoluo to come and live with Taotao every few days, or even she can ask Xia Xiaoluo and Taotao to live with her for a long time.
Now Xia Xiaoluo was the beloved daughter of the Ouyang family. He Meishu couldn’t command Xia Xiaoluo as casually as before. She had to concern about the Ouyang family. And the most serious thing was that Xia Xiaoluo and Ling Tianyi had not married yet. There was no legal relationship between them. She was not qualified to demand Xia Xiaoluo.
“Tianxue, go back home first. Take a bath and have a good rest. In the evening, I will tell the cook to make the dishes you like, so don’t stand at the gate.” He Meishu pulled Ling Tianxue into the room. Although Ling Tianxue wanted to see Taotao, Xia Xiaoluo and Ling Tianyi, she was really tired. She still had time, she could meet them when it was possible, so she just followed He Meishu.
Meanwhile, once the Ouyang family had finished their lunch, they heard the voice of Taotao.
“Mommy, mommy…”
When Xia Xiaoluo heard the lovely voice, she smiled at once.
Xia Xiaoluo went to the door, she saw Taotao rushing all the way from the gate of the garden.
“Mommy, I miss you so much!” Taotao rushed in Xia Xiaoluo’s arms.
“Baby, I also miss you!” Xia Xiaoluo kissed Taotao’s little red face. As they hadn’t seen each other for a day and a half, she missed the lovely baby so much.
At this time, Ling Tianyi came as well. “Taotao is very sensible! I take him back. He is safe and happy these days, he is very well.”
“I heard from my cousin that you drove home at four-thirty yesterday, for fear that Taotao would wake up and find you. You didn’t sleep all night?” Xia Xiaoluo looked at Ling Tianyi’s face, which was not very good. He looked tired.
“It’s OK. It’s just one night. It’s nothing!” Ling Tianyi said with a smile.
“What’s all right? You haven’t slept and even drove all night. Look at you. Now you have dark eye circles,” Xia Xiaoluo scolded Ling Tianyi. Although she was very happy to see Ling Tianyi last night, she was still worried about his health, being afraid that Ling Tianyi was too tired.
“Ah? Really? My dark eye circles? Am I not handsome?” Ling Tianyi rubbed his eyes hurriedly. “Darling, I’m so ugly. Will you despise me?”
“You are a nuisance.” Xia Xiaoluo pushed Ling Tianyi. “I will take care of Taotao, so you go back to have a rest. Remember, you are not allowed to work or arrange the things of the proposal for marriage. Just go to sleep. It’s the most important thing now. Otherwise, I won’t accept your proposal.”
“OK. OK. OK. It’s up to you. I will do what my wife says.” Ling Tianyi said with a smile. “That’s right. I’ll go back first. Call me if you have anything at any time. My mobile phone will always be available to you.”
“Daddy, we won’t call you. Go home to go to sleep! Don’t disturb mommy and me,” Taotao said suddenly.
“You little bad guy, mommy is tired these days. You are not allowed to keep pestering mommy. If you need anything, you can call daddy. You know?” Ling Tianyi kissed Taotao.
“I see!” Taotao was speechless. “But I have nothing to trouble you if I stay with mommy and great-grandpa. I really won’t call you, daddy. You can go back to go to sleep. You have to follow mommy’s words, as well.”
“OK. You win.” Ling Tianyi shook his head helplessly, and then he giggled at Xia Xiaoluo again. “I’ll go back to go to sleep. If you have something, you can call me. If you have nothing, you can also call me. I’ll be free at any time if my wife and son call me!”
“Well, why are you so nagging? Go back to have a rest. I will take Taotao to see my grandpa.” Xia Xiaoluo said with a smile.
“Yeah. I will go to see my great-grandpa.” Without waiting for Xia Xiaoluo, Taotao rushed into the room to find Ouyang Feng alone.
“The third wheel finally left. Kiss me!” Ling Tianyi approached Xia Xiaoluo intimately.
“No.” Xia Xiaoluo pushed Ling Tianyi away. Ling Tianyi came up again and made a quick kiss on Xia Xiaoluo’s lips, and then he left happily.
On the way home, Ling Tianyi received a phone call from Ling Tianxue.
“Brother, where is my little nephew? I especially come back from abroad to visit him with the gifts, but I can’t even see him! I’m very sad!” Ling Tianxue asked on the phone.
“You girl, aren’t you pestering Chu Wei abroad? Why do you go back suddenly? You don’t stay with Chu Wei, aren’t you afraid that those beauty with big b.r.e.a.s.t.s, blond hair, and blue eyes would take Chu Wei away?” Ling Tianyi didn’t answer Ling Tianxue’s question; instead, he joked on her. He and Ling Tianxue haven’t seen each other for a long time.
“I’m very relieved. Because Chu Wei finally accepts your capable sister.” When Ling Tianxue mentioned this, her tone was full of pride.
“Good job. His stone heart is warm now,” Ling Tianyi said with a smile.
“I have been trying my best to go after Chu Wei for many years, and my efforts are not in vain. Chu Wei made a proposal to me last week,” Ling Tianxue said with a smile. Her face was full of happiness.
Although she took the initiative to go after Chu Wei for years, she had been waiting for Chu Wei to propose to her. In her mind, the proposal must be made by a man actively.
Although it was a difficult journey, Ling Tianxue succeeded finally. When Chu Wei proposed to her, she cried almost for the whole night. She was moved and delighted. It seemed to be a kind of excitement and happiness from the exhaustion these years.
“Chu Wei will come back next week. We are going to register for marriage on the Chinese Valentine’s Day. Brother, you have to prepare for the red pocket. It must be the biggest big Mac’s red pocket,” Ling Tianxue said with a smile.
“Then I will go to the fast-food restaurant and buy a big Mac’s hamburger as a gift for you!” Ling Tianyi joked.
“You are a nuisance. If you don’t give me a big wedding gift, I will chop you!” Ling Tianxue was also hot-tempered.
Ling Tianyi certainly won’t treat his only sister bad. The wedding gift must be beyond Ling Tianxue’s imagination. He was just teasing and amusing his sister to ease his feeling of missing his wife and son.
“By the way, you haven’t answered me yet. Where’s my little nephew?” Ling Tianxue finally got back to the point, which was her original purpose of calling Ling Tianyi.
After Ling Tianxue went home, she had lunch and took a bath. But she couldn’t sleep. So she wanted to walk around and have a look at her baby nephew. She didn’t expect that she just made a phone call, but they talked a lot.
“I just took Taotao back to Xiaoluo’s home. Today, you could not see the little guy. However, there are opportunities in the future. Remember to buy a toy plane for my son. The more, the better!” Ling Tianyi said.
“I won’t forget the gifts! I am good at making children happy. I have the best set of gifts and snacks.” Ling Tianxue said. “Didn’t you find Xiaoluo? Why didn’t you stay together?”
“It’s complicated. I’m driving. I’ll go back to the villa later. Let’s meet and talk then!” Ling Tianyi said. He wanted to ask how Ling Tianxue went after Chu Wei abroad these years as well.
“Drive carefully. I will wait for you!” Ling Tianxue said and hung up.
Ling Tianxue took a bottle of high-grade red wine out, which she specially consigned back from her suitcase. People could not buy it in the Celestial Empire. She played with it for a while and said, “I must know Ling Tianyi’s thoughts by using this.”
In fact, Ling Tianxue felt very sorry for Xia Xiaoluo. She always hoped that Ling Tianyi would marry Cheng Yalin for the sake of Chu Wei. In this way, Chu Wei would never think of Cheng Yalin anymore, so she could have a chance. Thus she even formed a marriage breaking alliance with Cheng Yalin and Chu Tong in order to break up the relationship between Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo.
Now Cheng Yalin was dead, Ling Tianxue felt sorry for Xia Xiaoluo. She also knew that Ling Tianyi has suffered from the loss of Xia Xiaoluo these years. She felt guilty for what she did before. She hoped to change the relationship with Xia Xiaoluo, making Xia Xiaoluo be her good friend and sister-in-law.
Ling Tianxue wanted to know what Ling Tianyi was thinking about in his heart. But she was afraid that Ling Tianyi would not tell her. So she just brought the top-grade red wine as her weapon.
When Ling Tianyi came home, he said h.e.l.lo to his parents. Then he chatted with Ling Tianxue.
Ling Tianxue talked about the things with Chu Wei over the years. They talked and drank. While Ling Tianyi was not drunk, Ling Tianxue was.
“Brother, tell me about your affection on Xia Xiaoluo. In my opinion, you seem to love her very much! But what happened to you now? Why didn’t she stay with you? And you can’t even decide the things about your own son? What’s your relationship?” Ling Tianxue asked, lying on the table. She was almost asleep.
“Now everything is temporary! Your sister-in-law can only be Xia Xiaoluo. It will come true soon.” Ling Tianyi said.
“Is that your real idea? Do you really love Xia Xiaoluo? If so, I will help you,” Ling Tianxue said on the table.
“I love her. Your brother only loves Xia Xiaoluo.” Ling Tianyi said, “But don’t help me. I’m afraid that you will do the wrong thing.”
“You look down on me! Humph!” Ling Tianxue wanted to ask something about Xia Xiaoluo, but she was drunk.
“No, I’m going to go to sleep,” Ling Tianxue said.
“Let me help you!” Ling Tianyi stood up directly. He took her sister back to her room and threw her on her bed.
“Brother!” Ling Tianxue pulled Ling Tianyi, who was about to leave.
“What’s up?” Ling Tianyi asked.
“Do you remember Xia Jingru? She’s going to be back. She is not a good woman,” Ling Tianxue said. Then she fell asleep on the bed.
Of course, Ling Tianyi remembered Xia Jingru, she almost killed Xia Xiaoluo. He was afraid that Xia Jingru would be cruel to Xia Xiaoluo again.
Ling Tianyi wanted to know more about this. So he shook Ling Tianxue, but Ling Tianxue fell asleep. She couldn’t be woken up at all.
“Fool! Just drink a little and get drunk.” Ling Tianyi said helplessly.
Although Ling Tianxue was drunk, Ling Tianyi was still awake. So he called Yao Sheng directly, regardless that he hasn’t slept for the whole night.
“h.e.l.lo, what do you want me to do? Do you know that I am going to have a date?” Yao Sheng said impatiently. Today, Shen Jiani took the initiative to invite him to dinner. He didn’t want to delay it due to anything else.
“You and Shen Jiani haven’t been together for so many years. Do you mind missing a date with her?” Ling Tianyi said. Without waiting for Yao Sheng’s getting angry, he continued to a.s.sign the tasks and said, “Investigate Xia Jingru for me. Check whether she will come back these days. If you find something, just tell me at once! Check it right now. Right now!”
Ling Tianyi hung up after he finished.
Ling Tianyi was still worried, so he called Xia Xiaoluo.
“Do you wake up after the nap?” Xia Xiaoluo said with a smile. Now Taotao was playing with his great-grandpa, so she is free.
“Tianxue is back. She said that Xia Jingru would come back to make trouble. I am worried about you very much.” Ling Tianyi said.
“Xia Jingru? She… Why does she come back? Didn’t you say that she had gone to Macau? What’s more, father has gone bankrupt, and he has no money. Xia Jingru has no reason to come back!” Xia Xiaoluo said.
“Tianxue will not say those words without any reason. But she is drunk now, so I can’t ask more.” Ling Tianyi was still struggling.
“I know why!” Xia Xiaoluo said suddenly.
“When I was talking with Luo Xixi before, she said that Xia Jingru liked Fang Ruichen very much. She often pestered Fang Ruichen when she was in Dwichen’s College. Fang Ruichen hated her very much. Maybe she knows that Luo Xixi and Fang Ruichen are going to get married, so she will come back to destroy the wedding?” Xia Xiaoluo guessed.
“Well, this is another possibility!” Ling Tianyi said. “I have already investigated her. You tell Luo Xixi to pay attention to it. And you, it’s better to be more careful. Xia Jingru was so vicious that she almost killed you before. This woman is definitely a dangerous person.”
“You’re scaring me again!” Xia Xiaoluo said, acting like a spoiled child.
“I’m not scaring you. I’m asking you to be careful. When you’re in peace, think about the danger in advance. Take precautions!” Ling Tianyi said with a smile. He liked the coquettish tone of Xia Xiaoluo. “But, I’ll protect you because I’m here.”
“By the way, how about Tianxue? Why does she suddenly come back? Is she OK?” Xia Xiaoluo asked. Although the relationship between Ling Tianxue and her was not very good, Ling Tianxue was Ling Tianyi’s sister, after all. She should concern about Ling Tianxue.
Ling Tianyi told Xia Xiaoluo something about Ling Tianxue simply. “When it’s convenient for you and Taotao, let’s go to meet Tianxue.”
“Well, I see. You can arrange it. Taotao and I have nothing to do these days.” Xia Xiaoluo agreed. But she was not sure whether Ling Tianxue would embarra.s.s her.
“Ah? Ling Tianyi! I asked you to go back to have a rest. When you go back, you dare to have a drink and chat with Tianxue. Did you ignore my words?” Xia Xiaoluo suddenly remembered.
“No, no! How dare I not to listen to my wife. I swear that I definitely plan to go to sleep when I go home, but I can’t catch up with the change. I’ll go back to the bedroom and go to bed immediately. OK? Don’t be angry! OK?” Ling Tianyi was sweat, he was afraid that Xia Xiaoluo would be angry. And Xia Xiaoluo would not marry him.
“I’m not angry. I’m worried about you! You didn’t sleep yesterday, and you drove at night. You didn’t have rest during the day time, so your body won’t be able to bear it.” Xia Xiaoluo shook her head helplessly. “Go to sleep quickly. If you don’t go to sleep, I will be really angry.”
“OK, OK! Everything is up to you, my darling. I’ll go to sleep. I’ll go to bed right away. Call me if you have anything! And the affairs about Xia Jingru, you can also tell Ouyang Ziqian, it’s always good to take precautions,” Ling Tianyi said.
“OK! I see. I’ll let everyone know it. You, hang up now, and go to bed obediently!” Xia Xiaoluo said.
“OK. Kiss me before you go to sleep,” Ling Tianyi said with a smile.
“You are a nuisance. I won’t tell you. I will hang up!” Before Xia Xiaoluo hung up, Ling Tianyi gave her a kiss on the phone.
Xia Xiaoluo thought about it for a while. And then she called Luo Xixi first. Then she went to find Ouyang Ziqian to talk about it. Ouyang Ziqian also thought that it was better to take precautions.
