"I heard that Tongtong is in a relationship, it seems. Old Xu said so, and he said he could guarantee it with his thirty years of experience as a criminal police officer."

After get off work, Fang Yanming chatted with Mao Fangfei and brought up this matter.

He and Fang Tongtong were not in the same place; he was in the General Administration and Fang Tongtong was in the Branch Administration. They didn't see each other during the day because they were at work. Today, at a meeting in the General Administration, he ran into Fang Tongtong's superior, the Branch Administration Director Lao Xu. When they started chatting, they discovered some really exciting news.

Mao Fangfei immediately put down the scalpel. She always used a scalpel when cooking at home; she wasn't used to using other knives, and the scalpel was much more convenient for her.

"Old Xu is definitely right. This girl doesn't tell me anything now, not even something as important as dating. Humph, aren't you close to your daughter? How come you don't know anything about her?" Mao Fangfei said sarcastically.

From a young age, her daughter was close to Fang Yanming. The saying "a loving father and a strict mother" was perfectly exemplified in their family. If she weren't strict, given Fang Yanming's unprincipled pampering of his daughter, that girl would have become incredibly arrogant.

Because of this, Fang Tongtong was afraid of Mao Fangfei since she was a child, and was more casual with Fang Yanming, which made Mao Fangfei feel very uncomfortable.

Fang Yanming said with a forced smile, "Father can't compare to mother. Tongtong may seem to like me, but she always sides with you."

Mao Fangfei's expression softened. That was true. Every time she and Fang Yanming argued, her daughter would blame her father. When she was little, she would scold him like an adult. She was so cute. In the blink of an eye, the child is already ready to get married.

"Old Xu didn't say who it was with? Could it be that kid, Letian?"

If it were Tong Letian, Mao Fangfei would be happy to see it happen. The two families know each other well, and their parents are old colleagues, so they can talk things out easily. There's no need to worry about Tongtong not handling the relationship with her mother-in-law.

"I reckon so. There's no one else but Lotte. Tongtong goes to work every day, so how could she have the chance to meet other people?"

"That's it! Oh dear, the little girl already has a boyfriend, and she's still embarrassed!" Mao Fangfei said with a sense of loss.

In the blink of an eye, my daughter is already twenty-six; she's getting old too.

"Tongtong should go home this weekend and ask her. Men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age. Tongtong is not young anymore. If it is that boy Letian, she should get things done as soon as possible and have children sooner to be free."

Mao Fangfei hopes her daughter will marry and have children early because she herself has suffered from late childbirth. After the age of thirty, she lacks energy and taking care of children is too tiring. Early childbirth is good for both adults and children, and recovery is faster.

"Who else could it be but Le Tian? I'll call Tong Tong and ask her to come home for the weekend. This girl used to come home often, but now she stays in the dormitory every day. She must have a boyfriend. Staying in the dormitory makes it easier for her to move around."

Fang Yanming knew his daughter's thoughts perfectly well, and felt a mix of bitterness and complex emotions.

He hoped his daughter could find a good husband, but the thought of his precious daughter, whom he had raised with such care, being taken by another man made him feel terrible.

No other man is as tolerant of his daughter as he is as a father. Even the best man will make his wife suffer. Sigh!

Fang Tongtong was happily enjoying her grilled fish. She was now being kept by a sugar daddy, eating big meals every day and having a considerate boyfriend to serve her. She was living a life more blissful than a fairy.

"Eat slowly, be careful not to prick your mouth with the thorns." Shi Xiaobao said helplessly.

He really couldn't understand why grilled fish was so delicious, and Fang Tongtong could eat it every meal without getting tired of it.

"No, I'm an expert at eating fish."

Fang Tongtong spat out a few fish bones, picked up a piece of fish, and then the phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID, gestured for Shi Xiaobao to be quiet, and then answered the phone.
