Chapter 24

As Wu Xiu spoke, tears flowed unconsciously, "We said that we would make her the happiest little princess in the world, how can you do this now?"

Tan Pei stepped forward distressed, wanting to hold her in his arms.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xiu pushed him away.

"Tan Pei, do you not love us mother and daughter anymore?"

The beauty shed tears, like a pear blossom in the rain, which made her look even more charming.

Tan Pei's heart was tangled when he heard Wu Xiu calling him by his full name, and now seeing her crying, he felt that his heart was being held tightly in someone's hand.

"How could it be!" He held Wu Xiu in his arms tenderly and firmly, not allowing her to refuse, "Xiu Xiu, how could I not love you?"

"Even if I don't love myself, I will not forget to love you."

Tan Li looked at the two people in front of him, hugging each other tightly as if no one was around——

[Ah~]

She really tried to endure it, but she couldn't.

[The sour smell of love.]

Wu Xiu's face suddenly burned up, and she pushed Tan Pei in front of her, but unfortunately she didn't move.

Tan Pei's mind was completely on Wu Xiu, and he didn't even look at Tan Li.

Seeing that Wu Xiu wanted to get out of his arms, he tightened his arms even more.

"Let me go." Wu Xiu whispered, "The children are watching."

Tan Pei refused domineeringly, "If you don't, don't expect me to let you go in this life."

Tan Li was watching with great interest, and felt someone approaching behind her...

She didn't even turn her head until the person behind her tangled for a long time and then carefully poked the back of her hand. Tan Li turned her head to look at the other person.

To be honest, Tan Xinman's expression was so complicated that Tan Li felt that she could publish a textbook on "How to use the five senses to express a variety of emotions."

Mixed with embarrassment, happiness that finally someone was persecuted by parental love like her, guilt towards Tan Li, and self-blame for not being qualified to be so happy...

Tan Li: Amazing, over there is the heartbreaking love, and over here is the inner entanglement of human nature.

What kind of Feng Shui is this Tan family?

Wonderful! Elegant!

Tan Xinman, who has been hiding in the corner like a transparent person since Tan Li appeared, finally mustered up the courage to approach Tan Li.

She pointed silently outward, as if telling her to give space to Tan Pei and Wu Xiu.

Tan Li: Does this mean that she should not be a light bulb here?

[No, this drama of the domineering president falling in love with me is good to watch, I love it, and I want to watch more. 】

Not only did she not leave, but she looked at Tan Pei and Wu Xiu with great interest, "You guys continue, pretending we don't exist."

"Poof——" Tan Xinman lowered her head abruptly, suppressing her muffled laughter.

Not only was Wu Xiu's face flushed, but even her ears were red. Tan Pei, who had just been oblivious to his surroundings, now felt a little uncomfortable and slightly relaxed his arm around Wu Xiu.

"Ahem," Tan Pei cleared his throat, "Dali..."

"How about we hold a party to tell everyone that you're back?" Wu Xiu pinched Tan Pei's arm and took the lead.

After saying that, he turned his head and said, "You are not allowed to object!"

Tan Pei smiled helplessly and dotingly, "Okay, I will listen to you, okay?"

"No need." To everyone's surprise, it was Tan Li who raised the objection.

Tan Li: Holding a banquet or something, it's tiring to hear about it.

She is a

retired elderly person and can't stand such a torment.

"I think it's good now." Tan Li said the truth, "Like Dad said, it would be inappropriate if the company's stock price is affected after it is made public."

What if her dividend is also affected? For that little bit of false reputation, it's not worth it.

Tan Pei looked at Tan Li in surprise.

"Hiss--" He was just thinking halfway when someone pinched his lower back hard.

Wu Xiu ignored Tan Pei's grievance, "No!"

"Dali, you don't have to think about these!" Wu Xiu recalled a small essay that Tan Li had secretly written, and was worried that Tan Li would be cautious because of Tan Pei's words, "Your father will naturally solve those problems, you just need to be your parents' daughter peacefully."

"If your parents can't even make you happy for the rest of your life, then your parents are incompetent!"

As she spoke, Wu Xiu increased the strength of her hands, "Dad, don't you think so?"

"Yes! Wife, you are right!" Tan Pei endured the pain of his waist being pinched in his hands, "Dali, you don't have to worry about these, Dad will solve them."

"Just do what your mother thinks."

Tan Li: ...Look at that useless look, Tan Pei doesn't care about her thoughts at all, he only cares about Wu Xiu's feelings.

[A love-brained boss, the old man's personality is quite fashionable. ]

Tan Pei was stunned for a moment, and for the first time he felt that Tan Li was quite sensible: it is natural for a man to love his wife.

Seeing that Tan Li still looked lazy and uninterested, Wu Xiu thought for a while, "Don't worry, Dali, mom will prepare the banquet and everything, you just need to show up and eat and drink."

"It's very simple and easy."

Tan Li: "...Okay."

Since the crybaby said so, she could only agree reluctantly.

After getting Tan Li's approval, not only Wu Xiu jumped up happily, but even Tan Xinman beside her also smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

Tan Li curled her lips——

[It's so difficult to make these two women happy.]

Wu Xiu: ...

Tan Xinman: ...

Tan Pei looked up at Tan Li and nodded silently.

**

Tan Li, who was very difficult to coax, rewarded herself the next day by having someone set up her own parasol in the garden and fell into the soft embrace of the lounge chair.

Tan Li: She is so tired from slacking off at work and participating in family activities. She needs to lie down for a day to relax.

Today, no one can separate her from the recliner!

Fortunately, Wu Xiu was busy preparing the guest list for the banquet,

and Tan Pei was with her. Tan Xinman felt that Tan Li would not like to see her hanging around her. Not only was she elusive at home, but she also went out early on weekends.

Tan Li enjoyed the large lawn in the garden alone, with the sound of the wind in her ears -

"Why are you here again?" Tan Li even forgot about love and peace and rolled her eyes to the sky.

Ah Heng slowly approached in a wheelchair, with a sense of ease that he treated someone else's garden as his own.

After he came, he threw a file bag directly into Tan Li's arms, "Zhang Yuanhe's information."

Tan Li reflexively caught the unknown object flying towards her: ???

"Who?" She was a little confused, and threw the file bag back to Ah Heng, "Next time, don't throw things at me randomly." Otherwise

, someone will lose an arm or a leg by accident.

It's just a matter of life and death, but if the injury is compounded, she is afraid that Ah Heng will directly cut her throat with a knife.

Ah Heng had a cold face when he came, and seeing that Tan Li didn't remember who Zhang Yuanhe was at all, the ice and snow melted a little.

"Got it." He put away the file bag and turned a blind eye.

After that, there was nothing else to say, just staying quietly.

Tan Li: "...What are you doing here?"

"I asked you to watch." Ah Heng said calmly, "So that you can stop me from getting killed."

...

For a moment, Tan Li even felt a little regretful. Why did she meddle in other people's business and rescue such a thing from the rooftop.

Tan Li: "Are you free?"

"Yeah." Ah Heng smiled sinisterly, "What can a cripple like me do?"

Tan Li glanced at his legs and fell back into the recliner, "Your legs are hopeless."

"..." Ah Heng's eyes were deep, and the corners of his mouth were more and more curved, "I know."

"I know better than anyone that my legs are completely useless."

There was an unspeakable weirdness in his smile, "You are direct."

"Most people would tell me not to give up, there will always be hope and other nonsense."

Ah Heng looked very talkative, but Tan Li picked up her mobile phone -

cheerful music came.

Tan Li went online on time, collected the limited-time physical reward at noon in the game interface, and prepared to change Le Tong into a new set of clothes.

Seeing that she was only concentrating on her phone and ignoring him, Ah Heng's strange smile slowly disappeared and he returned to an expressionless look.

"For some people, the word 'hope' is more painful than despair." Tan Li did not raise her head, but her voice came out calmly, "Don't be trapped by hope."

Ah Heng was stunned.

"Hey," Tan Li suddenly came over with her phone, "Help me see which dress looks good."

Ah Heng froze, but when he saw the content on Tan Li's phone screen, he couldn't help laughing.

"I didn't expect you to play such a girly game." Ah Heng started to complain whenever he found an opportunity.

Tan Li glared at him, "What do you know? This is a great masterpiece!"

"Forget it, forget it. I'd rather rely on myself than on your judgment."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Heng pointed his finger at a piece of clothing, "This one."

It was still the same hand with amazing bone structure, but compared to the pale and thin hand when he first saw it, it has now been taken care of for a period of time and is as smooth as jade and bamboo.

With almost no hesitation, in a few seconds, Ah Heng matched a whole outfit for Le Tong, and even matched the makeup.

Ah Heng: "When you choose clothes, you can't just look at the complexity, you also have to see if it suits the person."

"Look at her appearance, does it match a dress full of diamonds?" Ah Heng's tone was normal, but every word he said was disapproving of the aesthetics that Tan Li had originally matched Le Tong with. "If she must wear a dress, she would be more suitable for a temperamental or pretty type."

Tan Li watched Le Tong suddenly become a different person after Ah Heng's matching, and her eyes trembled slightly.

"You can't think that everyone else is the same as you just because you are suitable for such a gorgeous and complicated dress...!" Ah Heng was only halfway through his words when his hand and the phone were held in Tan Li's palm.

Tan Li: "Ah Heng, can you be Le Tong's image designer?"

"I'll give you a million a month, no! Tens of millions!"

Ah Heng was so angry that he laughed, "I don't need that little money."

"Then how much do you want?" Tan Li raised the price without hesitation, "You name a price, I want to find a way to get it for you!"

Ah Heng thought Tan Li was joking, but now seeing her expression more serious than ever, he calmed down little by little.

He took a serious look at the game character in Tan Li's phone, and then he realized that he had inadvertently overlooked a problem just now -

this game character is too similar to a real person.

It's not the kind of face-pinching that imitates a star, but from the skin to the bones and blood, it is vivid as if it really exists in this world.

Tan Li's attitude was also different from usual. She was not lazy on the surface, but inside...

"No need." Ah Heng didn't realize that his voice had softened.

He took out his mobile phone, "Add a contact number for free consultation."

Tan Li:!

"Ah Heng! You are such a good kid!" Tan Li was relieved.

Ah Heng's face darkened instantly, "Forget it, kid, I'm still too young and not experienced enough."

As he said that, he was about to take back the phone.

"Hey, stop it!" Tan Li quickly pressed his hand, "I won't call you anymore, I won't call you kid anymore!"

"And young people, little brothers, little friends, etc., you are not allowed to call them all." Ah Heng took the opportunity to make a request.

Tan Li was stumped, "...Then what else can I call you?"

"Just Ah Heng."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and finally, under Ah Heng's firm gaze, Tan Li surrendered.

All right, children don't like to be called children, and for Le Tong, it's understandable.

"Then I will call you Ah Heng from now on." Tan Li looked confused, but was very serious about the agreement.

Ah Heng nodded in satisfaction.

While adding Tan Li's contact information, he kindly reminded her, "But your game will not be running for long."
