Tao Mu was holding a bunch of birthday gifts. As soon as I got in the car, I yawned loudly.
Li Xiaoheng covered Tao Mu with a blanket, took the gift from Tao Mu and put it aside, then asked with a smile, "Is filming tiring?"
"I'm a little tired today." Tao Mu slumped in the back seat without any image, panting: "Maybe it's because acting is too exhausting."
Li Xiaoheng had already found out Tao Mu's schedule clearly. Naturally, I know that Tao Mu is acting with Yan Sheng today. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "It seems like you had a lot of fun taking photos today."
"It's really good." Tao Mu admitted frankly. As he spoke, he couldn't help but yawn again.
Li Xiaoheng tucked the edge of Tao Mu's blanket and said softly, "You sleep for a while. I'll wake you up when we get to the hotel."
Tao Mu uttered a "hmm". He lay down, resting his head on Li Xiaoheng's legs, and asked with his head tilted up, "You don't mind, do you?"
Li Xiaoheng lowered his head and looked at Tao Mu, who was lying on his lap and preparing to catch up on his sleep. He smiled and said, "I couldn't ask for more."
Perhaps Li Xiaoheng's gaze was too hot. Tao Mu subconsciously curled the corners of his mouth, turned sideways, and pulled the blanket all the way to the top of his head. Li Xiaoheng gently pulled him down again: "You're covered so tightly, aren't you short of oxygen?" And the air in the quilt was not good either.
"Just sleep well. I won't look at you anymore." Li Xiaoheng said as he picked up a document from the side.
Tao Mu closed his eyes and said, "Don't read documents in the car. The light is too dim and it hurts your eyes."
Li Xiaoheng chuckled and put the file back intact: "I'll listen to you."
He put his hands on Tao Mu's shoulders and kneaded them slowly from top to bottom. Although Tao Mu only filmed for more than two hours in the evening, he had been waiting on the crew for a whole day and his whole body was sore.
Li Xiaoheng's moderate massage made Tao Mu feel very comfortable. He closed his eyes and adjusted his posture, allowing Li Xiaoheng to massage his shoulders and waist. But he fell asleep in a short while.
Assistant Jiang, who was driving the car in the front, saw this and quietly pressed the window partition. The carriage suddenly became quieter.
After an unknown amount of time, Tao Mu was gently woken up. Li Xiaoheng's voice came from above: "We're here. Get up."
Tao Mu opened his eyes dazedly and stuffed the blanket directly into Li Xiaoheng's arms. I slept quite a lot along the way, and there were red marks all over my cheeks. The hair is also messy. Tao Mu took out a peaked cap and put it on his head. Wearing a black mask.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoheng smiled and teased, "Do you want sunglasses?"
Why wear sunglasses at night? Tao Mu looked at Li Xiaoheng helplessly. I feel that their President Li is becoming more and more vicious.
Li Xiaoheng chuckled, thinking that their boss Tao's eye rolling was really handsome.
As soon as the two got out of the car, they heard a "click" sound coming from the hotel entrance. The well-informed Hong Kong paparazzi had been waiting here for a long time. The bolder paparazzi even came up with cameras and microphones. I want to interview Li Xiaoheng and Tao Mu.
As the founder of Xiaoheng Capital and the eldest son of the Li family, Li Xiaoheng has always been low-key in front of the media and is reluctant to accept interviews.
Tao Mu created Feixun.com himself. If there is any explosive news, he will keep it to himself. So neither of them was willing to be interviewed. The paparazzi didn't dare to stop them and could only watch the two of them enter the hotel together.
"The relationship between President Li and President Tao is getting better and better. I heard that President Li personally flew to Beijing to pick up President Tao's family for his birthday. I don't know if they will go on a family trip."
If there was, they could follow the whole process. Although Tao Mu is a newcomer in the entertainment industry, he is the founder of Feixun.com and is now filming in the "Black and White" crew. The treatment in Hong Kong's entertainment industry is also very good. These gossip tabloids are waiting to take some gossip about Tao Mu to earn sales.
It's a pity that Tao Mu is usually a low-key person. Apart from being on the set and going back to the hotel, there is no big news worth breaking.
The man who often stirs up scandals in the entertainment industry has no idea that the gossip paparazzi downstairs would actually make such an evaluation of him. He stood at the door of the hotel room and was actually a little nervous for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiaoheng followed Tao Mu and looked at Tao Mu standing at the door with a tangled and anxious look on his face. Smiling, he asked, "Are you worried that Uncle Yao, Uncle Xiao Qi, and the old man won't agree with us being together? It doesn't matter, we can not tell them yet. We can explain it to them slowly."
Tao Mu glanced at Mr. Li helplessly. It's not a question of whether they tell or not. The key is his Yao father and Xiao Qi father - especially his Xiao Qi father who is so smart, he will definitely find out.
"It doesn't matter even if they find out." Li Xiaoheng said with a smile: "Your family loves you so much, as long as I treat you well for the rest of my life, they will definitely agree."
"You are blindly optimistic." Tao Mu sighed. But he just liked Li Xiaoheng's blind optimism. With his experience and temper, Li Xiaoheng is the type of person who would look ahead and behind and constantly weigh the pros and cons. I'm just afraid that the two of them really can't get along together.
"It's not blind optimism, it's confidence." Li Xiaoheng pinched Tao Mu's palm covertly.
The cell phone suddenly rang. Tao Mu took out his cell phone from his bag and was about to answer the call when the door of the guest room opened with a click.
Meng Qi stood in the doorway holding his phone and said with a smile, "I was just about to call you to ask where you are. It saves me a few cents."
Tao Mu stood at the door and called out a little stiffly, "Dad Xiao Qi."
"Happy birthday." Meng Qi stepped forward and hugged Tao Mu, patting him on the back. He smiled and said, "Your father Yao and the old man are waiting for you in the room. Come in quickly."
Meng Qi said this and nodded to Li Xiaoheng. He explained to Tao Mu, "We were originally planning to visit the crew with President Li and celebrate your birthday. But it was your Grandpa Song's first time on a plane, and he got a little airsick. When he came here, he forced himself to make birthday peaches for you, but then he felt uncomfortable. He has been lying in bed. I discussed it with your father Yao, and the three of us are waiting for you at the hotel."
Tao Mu followed Meng Qi into the room obediently. Liu Yao was sitting on the sofa, watching TV bored. Mr. Song was still lying in the room. Hearing the noise, he slowly stood up and walked to the bedroom door: "Are you back?"
"Hey." Tao Mu responded and called out dryly: "Old man, Yao Dad."
"You haven't eaten yet. I've almost rested. Let's find a place to eat." Old Master Song said, "This is the first time I've come to Xiangcheng in my life. It's a good opportunity to try the food here."
"Don't worry, old man. I've already made arrangements." Li Xiaoheng smiled and said, "We'll be there anytime when you recover."
After a pause, Li Xiaoheng continued, "In fact, the morning tea and supper here in Xiangcheng are also quite good. Xiao Mu especially likes morning tea, roasted pigeon and cart noodles."
Liu Yao narrowed his eyes and looked Li Xiaoheng up and down calmly. The more you look at it, the more it looks like a big-tailed wolf that is shaking its head and has ulterior motives.
Meng Qi poked Liu Yao's lower back calmly and said, "Okay. We're hungry too. Let's go now. Is the place to eat far away?"
"Not far, just nearby." Li Xiaoheng explained with a smile: "Considering that the three of you are tired from traveling, and Xiao Mu is also very tired after a day of filming, we chose a time-honored restaurant nearby. After dinner, if you want to go shopping in Xiangcheng, we will continue to go shopping. If you feel tired, we will come back to rest."
Anyway, Li Xiaoheng has already arranged everything.
Liu Yao glanced at their Meng Qi. Throw a bunch of keys on the coffee table to Tao Mu: "Your birthday present."
Tao Mu took the key and had a headache: "You bought me another car?"
"Not really." Liu Yao shook his head honestly. "Last year, on your birthday, your father Xiao Qi and I bought you that car, but I saw that you didn't drive it very often. So we didn't waste the money this year."
Tao Mu just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Liu Yao continue, "...I discussed it with your father Xiao Qi. I felt that a child of your age would have to work hard on his own in terms of career, and we two couldn't help much. So I bought you a house. It's just opposite the Beijing Film Academy, the community where you live now. It's a four-bedroom apartment, a total of more than 180 square meters. It hasn't been renovated yet."
"When you have time, decorate the house yourself. In the future, whether you want to get married and have children, you will have other options. Having your own house means having your own home, which means you have a backup. You won't have to worry about the future."
After Liu Yao said this, he glanced at Li Xiaoheng. He got up and went to change his clothes.
Miao’s father had only raised his eldest son for more than a year, but before he had even had enough warmth, he was taken away by the big-tailed wolf. It's so fucking frustrating.
When Liu Yaogang guessed this, he wanted to find someone to beat Li Xiaoheng up. In the end, Meng Qi persuaded him to stop. The main reason is that Tao Mu is too thoughtful and cares a lot about the thoughts of people around him. If they showed their disapproval, Tao Mu would probably break up with them in the end just to please them.
Meng Qi is not afraid of Tao Mu breaking up. With Tao Mu's conditions and personality, it is not difficult for him to find a caring and satisfactory lover. But Meng Qi didn't want Tao Mu to wrong himself for them. After all, love is a matter between two people. Anyway, Tao Mu in their family is still young, and the two of them have just been together, and it is not yet time to talk about marriage.
"Young people have their own destiny. Besides, Mr. Li is only Xiao Mu's first love. It is still uncertain whether they can succeed in the future, so there is no need for us to rush to break up the couple." Meng Qi is more open-minded about this matter than Liu Yao. He felt that with Li Xiaoheng's conditions, even if it was just a relationship, their Tao Mu would not suffer any loss. Moreover, the level of first love is higher, so the vision will naturally be higher. Even if it doesn't work out in the future. After this experience, Tao Mu will definitely follow similar standards when looking for a partner in the future.
This is just like how a graduate’s first job is likely to affect his or her career planning for the rest of his or her life. Meng Qi felt that just for this reason, there was nothing wrong with the two of them being in a relationship.
Although Liu Yao has a stubborn temper and says what he means in public, he is definitely a henpecked man. Since Meng Qi said so, he must do it. However, after the couple discussed it, they felt that since Tao Mu was in love, buying a house must be put on the agenda. Even if it's just love. Their Tao Mu must also be financially independent and have a successful career. After the two of them are together, Li Xiaoheng must live in their son's house, instead of Tao Mu living with Li Xiaoheng.
The relationship between primary and secondary must be clear. Their Tao Mu must be the head of the family. Even if there is a romantic relationship, it is free love. We must never allow those gossip tabloids to make random guesses and reports. Liu Yao didn't want someone to maliciously speculate that Tao Mu was coveting someone's wealth and glory and waiting to marry into a wealthy family after their relationship was exposed.
Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. Tao Mu certainly didn't expect that Liu Yao and Meng Qi had already thought about things so far in the future. But he was still keenly aware of the concerns of his father Yao and Xiao Qi's father that he would be at a disadvantage in this relationship.
In fact, with his current financial situation, he can afford to buy a house. But Tao Mu has always had a great fear and rejection of living alone in an empty house. Therefore, most of his money was left in Xiaoheng for capital appreciation, and a small part was invested in Feixun.com to maintain the operation of the website. He still lived in the dormitory and the small apartment prepared for him by Mr. Song. On weekends, I go back to Liu Yao’s house or Song Ji’s courtyard. Just for fun.
After confirming his relationship with Li Xiaoheng, Tao Mu did think that if Li Xiaoheng asked, he could move in and live with Li Xiaoheng. But he didn't expect that Yao's father and Xiao Qi's father had already thought of this in advance. I also bought a house for him. This is to avoid the four words "people's words are scary" as much as possible.
There are always some people who are too lazy to say sweet words to you, and even think you are troublesome after spending a long time with them. But at every critical moment, he can always think ahead for you. Doing my best to take care of you. I’m afraid you might fail due to negligence or lack of experience. You will have to endure rumors and gossip, and bear the grievances that you shouldn't have to endure.
This is family.
Tao Mu tightly grasped the room key that Liu Yao threw to him. Old Master Song silently glanced at the brat he had raised since childhood, and then glanced at Li Xiaoheng who was sticking to Tao Mu and pretending to be a big shot. He touched his chest, feeling depressed.
"I have applied for patents for the Song's brand and the Song's Recipe." Mr. Song put his hands behind his back and said slowly, "The patent owners are my father and me. I am old now and my energy is not good enough. I can't take care of those schools and chain stores. I will leave them to you in the future. Don't always think about acting, and don't always think about your website. Remember to take care of our Song's brand and business."
"In the past six months, many people have come to me for cooperation. They just want to use the Songji brand. Among them is a hotel under the Fengxing Group. I ignored them. If you are interested, I will let them talk to you."
Mr. Song’s meaning was also very simple and crude. Even if your Li family has a strong background and is richer than us. But when it comes to business cooperation, it is your Li family that needs help from Song Ji, and it is you, Li Xiaoheng, who needs help from our Tao Mu. Don't even think about relying on your family background to bully our brat. The Song family has never had the habit of compromising.
Old Master Song uttered these harsh words in front of Li Xiaoheng. He also walked away leisurely with his hands behind his back.
In his heart, Mr. Song really doesn't like Tao Mu to fall in love with a man. He always felt that Liu Yao and Meng Qi did not set a good example, so they brought bad luck to their little brat. But just like Meng Qi said, their little brat has a weak bond with his parents in this life, and it took him a lot of effort to have a family and a lover. We can't all start fighting among ourselves before we can even live a good life, which would make others laugh at us.
Besides, it is very common for young people to get bored with the old and love the new. Tao Mu is only nineteen years old this year. Even if he dated for a few more years, he would still be in his prime when they broke up. Don't worry at all. When Tao Mu has had enough fun, he might think about getting married and having children.
So Mr. Song was secretly looking forward to this day. Anyway, there are many male celebrities in the entertainment industry who are still unmarried in their thirties. Since you're not getting married or having children, there's no difference whether you're dating a man or a woman.
Old Master Song just didn't believe that, with Tao Mu's temperament of getting bored with the old and loving the new since he was a child, he could be in love with Li Xiaoheng for a lifetime!
Inside the hotel, Tao Mu, who was touched by his family's kindness, obviously didn't expect that his two fathers and a grandfather would have such a fashionable idea. He also discussed with Li Xiaoheng with some excitement how to decorate their new house.
Although Li Xiaoheng had a rough idea of what his elders were thinking, he didn't take it too seriously. Time will tell, as long as he is determined to spend his whole life with Tao Mu. No matter what other people think, it's useless.
As for whether it would be embarrassing to move to Tao Mu's house and live with him, President Li said he would love to have it - if it weren't for his Uncle Yao and Uncle Xiao Qi working together to push this, he wouldn't know how to talk to Tao Mu about living together.
He was afraid that if he spoke too early, Tao Mu would think he was frivolous and careless, and that he was not respectful enough. So Li Xiaoheng originally wanted to wait patiently. Just like when he pursued Tao Mu, he was fully prepared for a protracted war. He was determined to let Tao Mu see his feelings and how much he valued Tao Mu.
However, he didn't expect that a bunch of keys sent by Liu Yao and Meng Qi completely disrupted his plans.
They are worthy of being the two fathers that Tao Mu values the most. Every move is extraordinary. Li Xiaoheng decided that from now on these two fathers would be his fathers. He will definitely unite the two fathers and the old man with the most resolute attitude.
These are all good people!
In the bedroom, Liu Yao, who was changing clothes, obviously didn't know that he had been given a nice guy card by his future son-in-law. Still feeling proud of my decision. She whispered to Meng Qi, "Even if Mr. Li is unhappy, we must persist. We must not let Xiao Mu be too accommodating to him. We must lay a good foundation before marriage. Our Xiao Mu must be the head of the family. We must find some time in the future to let Mr. Li learn cooking skills from the old man. In the future, when they live together, we can't let our Xiao Mu cook all the time."
Mr. Song put his hands behind his back and nodded heavily. It's rare that he shares the same opinion with his silly son.
It was Meng Qi who vaguely sensed that something was wrong. But I didn't expect what was wrong. After pondering for a long time, Liu Yao finally changed his clothes.
The family of five walked out of the hotel in an orderly manner to have dinner and celebrate the birthday. During the dinner, Li Xiaoheng was very attentive and expressed his utmost sincerity to thank the three elders for their great contribution to the sudden warming of their relationship.
Liu Yaomengqi and Old Man Song saw this and felt that Li Xiaoheng really cared about Tao Mu. That is why we care about and concern for our elders.
He still has some awareness of being a young son-in-law who has just arrived at his family's home.
Although the three elders didn't say anything, they were satisfied in their hearts. If Li Xiaoheng put on the airs of a domineering capitalist boss at the table, even if Tao Mu really liked this person, they would have to consider whether Li Xiaoheng was worth dating.
Now it seems that we can still observe.
