Li Chu was already sitting in his wife's office, waiting for her to finish her work before leaving.
Looking at her husband sitting across from her, legs crossed and humming a tune, Ding Qiunan said helplessly, "Can't you go out for a walk? How can I work in peace with you sitting there?"
"Huh? I didn't bother you. Besides, it's so hot outside, how could you bear to kick me out?"
His feigned innocence made Ding Qiunan want to pounce on him and bite him.
"Then could you please not make any noise?" Having no other choice, she could only ask as a second-best option.
"Oh, I thought you liked listening to me sing."
Hey, you're acting all wronged.
Seeing that his wife was about to get angry, Li Chu quickly raised his hand to his mouth and made a zipping motion, signaling himself to shut up.
Ding Qiunan shook her head helplessly and lowered her head to continue writing.
They're moving in two or three months, and they're incredibly busy with logistics during that time.
Now she also has to prepare things for her son's wedding, and she feels like she could be split in two.
The office had only been quiet for a few minutes when I heard my husband humming again.
She pursed her lips, about to say something, when she thought, "Hmm? I don't think I've heard of this one before."
"It must be a special kind of fate."
That's how we came to be a family.
The more he loves you, the more you should give back to him, and find the possibility of happiness...
Li Chu stopped humming, frowning as he pondered something.
It's not that he's not going to sing anymore, but that he simply can't remember the lyrics to the song. He can only try to remember them slowly and see if he can come up with them.
He wanted to dedicate this song to Wenxuan and Yueyue as a wedding gift from himself.
Why aren't you singing anymore?
"ah?"
Ding Qiunan's voice startled Li Chu from his reverie.
"I'm sorry, honey, I didn't mean to."
"I asked you why you stopped singing. What song is this? It's actually quite nice."
"Oh, this is a wedding gift I wanted to give to Wenxuan and Yueyue. It's also my blessing to them as their father."
? ? ?
"What do you mean?"
"It means exactly what it says."
"You're not talking about singing it for them on your wedding day, are you?" Ding Qiunan stared at her man with disbelief.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Li Chu was also a little confused; what kind of reaction was this?
"What else? You're an elder, aren't you? Did you sing for them on their wedding day?"
"Is there a problem with that? I am their elder, that's true, but what does that have to do with whether I sing or not? Can't I give my blessings to my son and daughter-in-law?"
"Is this how an elder should act? Does it resemble the behavior of a father?"
"No, honey, I don't understand. How is it that I'm not acting like a father when I sing a song for our son and daughter-in-law?"
"If that's the case, what about Qiaoyun and the others?"
"Uh... that's different, okay? Those people are singers. Besides, what kind of songs do they sing? What kind of songs are you singing? Love and romance stuff. Aren't you afraid they'll criticize you?"
"Hey, honey, I never realized you had such feudal ideas."
"Stop giving me that nonsense!" Ding Qiunan waved her hand dismissively.
"Even if I were to sing, it would be at home, where only our relatives and friends would hear it. Who would have the time to spread it around? Don't worry."
Ding Qiunan was deeply troubled by her husband's unconventional idea, and she didn't know how to dissuade him.
Aren't you ashamed?
"What's so shameful about that? The questions you're asking are all so strange."
Ding Qiunan crossed her arms and gently rubbed her forehead. She didn't want to talk anymore. She would talk to her sister when she got back and let her sister persuade him. There was nothing she could do.
"Fine, I don't care anymore, do whatever you want."
"Go ahead and write your thing."
Disrupted from his train of thought, Li Chu had to start thinking again from the beginning. He glanced helplessly at his wife, who had started writing again.
When I got home from get off work, Wenhui was already back.
"Mom and Dad, you're back."
"Huihui, what time did you get home? You've lost weight. Didn't you eat well over there?" Ding Qiunan saw her daughter, happily took her hand, and carefully looked her up and down.
Her daughter had been gone for about twenty days. If it weren't for the frequent phone calls, she would have gone to look for her.
"Mom, you came back at noon. You don't look thinner at all. I think you've even gained weight."
There's a kind of thinness that only your parents think you've lost weight.
"Dad, you got Wenxuan into the army?"
Wenhui turned to her father, who hadn't said a word, and asked.
"Hmm, you've heard?"
"My grandma told me this after I came back. She also said that she has set the wedding date for him and Yueyue for next month."
Li Chu noticed a hint of envy in her daughter's eyes when she said this.
"Huihui, do you also want to get married?" he asked directly.
"No way, Dad, don't talk nonsense. Mom, aren't you going to do anything about it? Look at what Dad is saying!"
A blush rose on Li Wenhui's cheeks when she was asked a blunt question by her father.
“It’s normal to want to get married, what’s wrong with asking?” Ding Qiunan teased her daughter.
"Mom, why are you saying that too? I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to go find Grandma."
She couldn't stand her parents any longer, so she let go of her mother's arm, stood up, and ran out of the living room.
After she left, Ding Qiunan asked somewhat nervously, "Darling, did Huihui...?"
She didn't finish her sentence, but Li Chu already knew what she wanted to ask.
"Don't worry, honey, Huihui is very obedient."
Hearing her husband say that, Ding Qiunan breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that her daughter would go and live with Shen Yi this time.
"She doesn't seem to be in a hurry to get married; she seems a little envious that Wenxuan was able to join the army."
"Huh? You mean Huihui also wants to join the army?" Ding Qiunan, who had already stood up and was walking into the bedroom to change her clothes, stopped in her tracks upon hearing this.
"I'm not sure either, I'll just ask her later."
During the meal, Li Chu took the initiative to ask his daughter what she thought.
His question also made the people at the table stop playing their dice.
Even the guards who had come with Aunt Wang and were eating at another table looked over cautiously.
"Huihui, you also want to join the army?" Li Qin asked, somewhat surprised.
"I quite like military uniforms."
Well, her answer is a form of affirmation.
The people at the table looked at each other.
Li Chu felt somewhat annoyed, feeling that he was not a good enough father.
In his heart, he always felt that he liked his daughter a little more, but he never expected that his daughter also liked military uniforms and even wanted to join the army.
"Huihui, Daddy apologizes to you!"
