On the second night after the opening, various media outlets in the provincial capital were reporting on the grand opening of Brothers Store No. 3.
Brother Wang sat in front of the TV, watching Du Lei being interviewed.
He is now the president of Brothers Supermarket, similar to Wang Cheng's position at Brilliant Supermarket.
During the evening news, the host praised Brother Supermarket extensively.
He said that Brothers Supermarket is a benchmark for the retail industry in the provincial capital and even the entire province.
"Honey, how are you feeling?" Li Mingzhu asked with a smile.
"I feel alright." Wang Peng smiled slightly and lay comfortably on the sofa.
"That's good. Our business is getting better and better, and we finally don't have to worry about our careers anymore." Li Mingzhu rubbed her stomach and smiled.
After the news ended, commercials began to play on TV.
Li Mingzhu then asked, "Honey, what are your plans for the future?"
Wang Peng was taken aback, scratched his head and asked, "This has stumped me. Tell me your thoughts first."
Li Mingzhu smiled slightly, her face filled with anticipation.
"I don't want to be focused on my career all the time; I want you to travel the world with me."
“Du Lei is capable of handling things on his own. Even if you are a hands-off manager, Brothers Supermarket will still operate normally.”
At this point, she looked at Wang Peng and asked in return, "Honey, what do you think?"
"Not caring about business or being busy with money is also part of my life, but..."
Wang Peng thought for a moment and said softly, "I still have a lot of things to take care of. After I finish these things, I'll take you around the world."
Li Mingzhu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Is everything you said true?"
"Yes." Wang Peng was taken aback and asked, "How could this be fake?"
"That's great! I was afraid you'd get greedy." Li Mingzhu clenched her fists, her expression excited.
She worried that as her husband's business grew bigger and bigger, he would gradually become more and more obsessed with money and eventually be held hostage by his career.
Wang Peng knew what she was worried about, and said with a smile, "I will not become a slave to money."
"That's good." Li Mingzhu yawned and said softly, "Honey, I'm sleepy."
Wang Peng helped her back to her room, brought her water to wash her feet, and helped her to bed.
Li Mingzhu lay on the big bed, holding her husband's hand, and felt very at ease.
She said softly, "Honey, once the baby is born, we'll be a happy family of three."
"Absolutely." Wang Peng smiled slightly and said softly, "Okay, go to sleep."
I had a good night's sleep.
The next morning, Wang Peng heard the phone ringing in the living room.
He quickly got up and saw his wife sleeping soundly with earplugs in, so he hurried to the living room to answer the phone.
"Xiaopeng, this is your father." Wang Song's voice came from the phone.
"Dad, is something wrong so early?" Wang Peng yawned and sat down on the sofa.
There was silence on the phone.
Three seconds later, Wang Peng hurriedly asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"
"Uh..." Wang Song stammered, "Xiao Peng, I, Hu Juan and I plan to get married in half a month, which is the 15th."
"What did you say?" Wang Peng couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"It's sudden, isn't it? I think it's sudden too." Wang Song gave a wry smile and said, "This was Hu Juan's request."
Wang Peng scratched his head and said with a smile, "Dad, this is a good thing."
He was overjoyed; he had been holding a grudge ever since his father divorced Li Guifen.
—We must find my father a better wife than Li Guifen.
He thought Hu Juan was a good fit: she was forty years old, a director, and beautiful.
Wang Song sighed softly and said, "She only wants to marry me as soon as possible in order to get promoted to deputy director. I feel uncomfortable about it."
"Huh?" Wang Peng scratched his head.
“She’s busy getting promoted; having a family can increase her chances of promotion,” Wang Song said.
“Civil servants seem to value family a lot, which is normal.” Wang Peng became interested and looked up to see Li Mingzhu leaving the house.
“I know, but it still bothers me,” Wang Song said.
Upon hearing this, Wang Peng was both amused and exasperated, never expecting his father to be so sensitive.
Li Mingzhu quietly walked over, handed him the phone, and whispered, "Aunt Hu."
"Dad, I'd like Mingzhu to talk to you for a bit." Wang Peng handed the phone to his wife and went to the bedroom with the phone.
He closed the door and said softly, "Hello, Aunt Hu, I'm Wang Peng."
"Hmph!" Hu Juan said in a harsh tone, "Call Wang Song and ask him what he really means."
Wang Peng had a headache and hurriedly said, "Please don't be angry, tell me slowly."
Hu Juan said in a deep voice, "When I told him I wanted to marry him, he actually hesitated. Ask him, what is it about me that makes me unworthy of him?"
"You're a perfect match, you're a perfect match in every way," Wang Peng quickly tried to smooth things over.
I felt a wave of helplessness, thinking that my father was making a mountain out of a molehill.
Hu Juan said, "Xiao Peng, I'll give him two hours to explain himself clearly to me whether or not this marriage is going ahead."
“If he doesn’t call me, we’re breaking up immediately,” Hu Juan said in a deep voice.
Wang Peng scratched his head; he could feel her anger even through the phone.
"Aunt Hu, don't worry, I'll call him right away."
“He’s fifty years old, but he acts like a child. I’m criticizing him.”
After finishing his explanation in one breath, Wang Peng quickly put on a forced smile.
Hu Juan snorted and said, "Tell him that the number of people who want to marry me could fill all three of your shops. That's all for now, I have other things to do."
Wang Peng smiled and said, "You go ahead with your work, I'll have him call you right away."
After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, never expecting that middle-aged people could also be troubled by love.
He walked into the living room with his phone and found that Wang Song's call had ended.
He said, "So? What does Old Wang mean?"
"Hehe." Li Mingzhu laughed and said softly, "He's still so arrogant, thinking that he's been used by Aunt Hu."
Wang Peng scratched his head and said with a smile, "I'll call him later."
He went to the kitchen first to cook and take care of his wife's meal.
Li Mingzhu yawned and said lazily, "Honey, I'm a little sleepy. I don't want to go to the store today."
Wang Peng said, "I won't go either, I'll stay home with you."
The two ate breakfast, and Li Mingzhu went to the bedroom to sleep.
Wang Peng was about to call Wang Song when he heard the doorbell ring. He went to open the door and found Wang Song standing outside.
"You've come at the perfect time, I've been looking for you." He smiled slightly, put his arm around his father's shoulder, and led him into the house.
Wang Song was a little embarrassed and whispered, "She called you, didn't she?"
Wang Peng nodded, poured him a cup of tea, and said with a smile, "Dad, why are you getting more and more confused as you get older?"
Wang Song was even more embarrassed and could only groan and mumble, unable to utter a word.
However, he was in a good mood. He felt content just visiting his son's house, chatting with him, and that made him feel fulfilled.
"Dad, Aunt Hu said that if you don't call her before 10 o'clock, she will break up with you."
"What?" Wang Song hurriedly checked his watch; it was already 9:30 in the morning.
"You brat, why didn't you say so sooner?" He glared at his son and hurriedly called Hu Juan.
The first call didn't go through, and neither did the second.
He got impatient, hung up the phone, and walked out.
"Dad, where are you going?" Wang Peng asked.
"I'm going to the station to find her and explain things to her." He had already reached the door as he spoke.
The phone rang, and Wang Peng smiled when he saw it: "It's Aunt Hu calling, answer it quickly."
