Zheng Tianming still led the team away. In the five-person team, besides the familiar Liang Dawei and Li Fengmao, there was another pair of partners, the woman named Fan Jie and the man named Long Hang, both around thirty years old.
They left in two groups. Fan Jie and Long Hang left first, followed by Zheng Tianming and the other two.
"After what happened last time, do you still dare to sign up for this mission?" Zheng Tianming leaned back on the sofa, his posture awful.
Li Fengmao, with an unlit cigarette between his fingers and his phone in hand, was playing a game with his wife: "This is what we do. In the past, if we took a step back, we'd be shot." As he spoke, he frantically tapped on his phone: "Dude, you've filled up your toilet."
Liang Dawei leaned back in his chair, eating instant noodles: "This is my first time flying first class. The ticket cost over 10,000 yuan. I don't know if I'll get reimbursed for it."
In the VIP lounge, he was the only one slurping instant noodles, eating with great relish, while the two people behind him drinking coffee kept watching them.
Zheng Tianming rested his finger on his chin: "I'll reimburse you for economy class, but I'll pay for the upgrade." After all, it's a flight that will take more than ten hours.
No one should be treated unfairly, not Xu Mengyu's husband, right?
"Speaking of which, now that you're out, where's your wife and kids?" Liang Dawei asked. After that gathering, he went online to look up who Xu Mengyu was, and what he found almost made his jaw drop.
He wasn't too familiar with Xu Mengyu; he might have heard of her, but he knew her father all too well...
He had just gone on a mission with his master to crack down on organized crime, and the first target was Xu Sichen. However, upon further investigation, it turned out that although Xu Sichen was a well-known figure in the underworld, he had never done anything illegal or disorderly.
He was also a philanthropist behind the scenes. After two years of investigation, he finally presented someone with a banner of appreciation.
That's why he still remembers it all these years.
Zheng Tianming sighed: "I'll leave it to my father-in-law to watch over."
He felt that Xu Mengyu's attitude was a bit unusual. Not only did she agree to it immediately, but she also gently told him to be careful in everything before leaving, and even took the initiative to give him a kiss.
Something's not right, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is.
Isn't this exactly what he wanted?
"Tell me the truth, is your father-in-law involved in organized crime?" Liang Dawei said, putting down his instant noodles.
Zheng Tianming stretched and yawned: "We're about to board, stop playing around." Could he really say something like that?
Liang Dawei glared at Zheng Tianming. What kind of person is this? Changing the subject at such a crucial moment.
Li Fengmao stood up, holding his phone: "Wife, I'm boarding now. Don't overwork yourself, don't do heavy work, just rest."
After all, she's pregnant.
The three of them didn't bring any luggage. Anyway, it's not like there's nothing to buy there. The key point is, none of them are good at packing.
Before boarding the plane, Zheng Tianming sent Xu Mengyu a text message: [Miss, I'll take a nap after boarding the plane, and I'll keep you company after we land.]
Xu Mengyu was wearing a face mask. Since bringing Xu Lu home, she had no worries except for Zheng Tianming.
Upon seeing the message, Xu Mengyu almost rolled her eyes. If you can't do it, don't promise it. Promising it and then being unable to let go makes it seem like she's being unreasonable or doesn't want the child to come home. [Honey, please be careful when you're out. Mwah.]
One thing at a time. If he hadn't shown her his resignation letter, she wouldn't have agreed so quickly. In the end, he put her on the barbecue grill.
Could she refuse? What would that make her then?
After seeing the reply, Zheng Tianming frowned: [If you're unhappy, you can scold me, punish me, but don't make it so scary, okay?]
Xu Mengyu threw her phone aside. It was ungrateful of her to be so gentle; she rarely showed kindness, and now it was considered wrong.
"Grandpa, how come you can do everything? You're so amazing!" Xu Lu sat on a small stool, looking at Xu Sichen with admiration.
Xu Sichen sat on the balcony, holding a chess set in his hand: "Grandpa will teach you to play chess later." As he spoke, he glanced at Pei Lan opposite him: "Can you do it? If not, just say so."
Pei Lan picked up her teacup and took a sip: "Yes, and no..."
Xu Lu shifted her position closer to Pei Lan: "Uncle, when are you going to teach me how to do my homework?"
Pei Lan pushed up his glasses and was about to raise his hand when Xu Sichen pointed and said, "Don't touch the chess pieces, or you'll lose."
“...”
Xu Lu couldn't help but laugh. Staying at home was so great. He wouldn't go with his mother when she went back; he wanted to stay home!
"How old are you? Still bullying a child." Li Mirui said, bending down and placing the chess piece on the board: "I won!"
Xu Sichen glanced at it and said, "If she says we'll win, then we'll win..."
She's the only one who bullies others.
Pei Lan smiled and picked Xu Lu up from the chair: "Come on, Uncle will teach you how to do your homework." Whoever loses has to cook.
Xu Sichen leaned back in his chair, looking at Li Mirui with an ambiguous expression: "You teamed up with others to bully your husband?" He then lowered his eyes.
Li Mirui put her hand on Xu Sichen's shoulder and bent down: "We need to think about the long term. Do you want to retire and run away?"
Xu Sichen's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Don't think about anything else." Li Mirui straightened up after saying that. She could guess what he was thinking with just one look from him.
Xu Sichen pulled the person into his arms and said, "I've been waiting for this day for over ten or twenty years."
“The child is still here, you should know your place,” Li Mirui said, turning her head away.
Xu Mengyu raised her hand: "It's okay, you can pretend I don't exist." After saying that, she covered her face, her eyes peeking out from between her fingers.
Li Miru glared at him, about to speak, when she felt a warm kiss on her lips. Xu Sichen leaned back in his chair after the kiss.
Children will feel happy when their parents have a good relationship.
"Tianming is going out, don't upset him. It sounds dangerous, so don't distract him. If you're unhappy about something, talk to him when he gets back," Li Miru said worriedly.
Xu Mengyu took out her nail polish and started painting: "I know, I'm not stupid..."
"Don't worry, I've already spoken to them over there." Xu Sichen said, then rubbed Li Mirui's stomach.
“Go…” Li Milui stood up.
Xu Sichen didn't say anything. He wasn't feeling well, so why was he rubbing his body? His unreliable image was now firmly established.
Just then, Zheng Lin returned from outside, wearing a raincoat and a straw hat: "Mengyu, come and see, do you want to eat this kind of grass carp?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Mengyu quickly ran over, squatted down to take a look, and nodded: "Yes, that's it, thank you Uncle Zheng."
Zheng Lin took off his straw hat and fanned himself; it was too hot outside.
"Dad, have you fallen into a mud pit?" Zheng Wanwan came out of the study. She had to avoid Pei Lan whenever he was around.
After all, Lulu is still young; we shouldn't lead her astray.
Zheng Lin was a little embarrassed. He had just touched a fish. Was he really cut out to be a fisherman?
"I'm just wondering, if you can't fish, why did you buy so much equipment?" Xu Sichen never understood.
He'll fall behind; his equipment isn't as good as his.
Zheng Lin didn't answer. He simply didn't want to stay home and do chores, but some truths were better left unsaid...
[I'll focus on finishing this book first, then move on to the other one.]
