Perhaps it was Ruan Shengpeng's words that moved him, or perhaps his own situation in Hong Kong was not so good, but in the end, the two of them asked everyone around them to leave.
The two talked for three or four hours in the living room. Finally, Ruan Shengpeng stood up and said, "You're a young man with a sharp mind, very good!"
Li Chenyi's lips were practically twitching open: "I think I'm only ten years younger than you!"
Why are you talking as if I'm only in my teens or twenties? Can your mouth make someone young again?
Ruan Shengpeng laughed again: "Who told you not to get married yet? I already have two children who are a bit older than your sister. People with children feel older!"
Upon returning to the military region, Ruan Shengpeng's first action was to call his superior to report the situation. The superior, upon hearing the young man's voice again, exclaimed, "You're calling again, kid?"
"I'm reporting the situation to you. Am I supposed to go to your place again without calling? Otherwise, people will say I'm wasting your time!"
"Alright, stop joking around and tell me, I have to go to a meeting! Did you finish talking with your in-laws?"
"Yeah, that kid's got it. I'm looking forward to seeing how he performs. That way, his sister definitely won't dare bring her back to Hong Kong, which will also give my kid an opportunity!"
"You, you were a little devil when you were a child. Now that you're a father and a military commander, you still have to kill two birds with one stone when you do something."
"My boss really understands me. It's not easy for my son to fall in love, so as his father, I definitely have to support him!"
"Yes, yes! I understand your loving fatherly feelings. My Lele also has someone she likes. But as you know, although her father did indeed conduct a fake experiment for his daughter's sake."
"But procedurally, we'll still have to be monitored for two or three years. Do you think there's any way to help my son win the heart of his sweetheart?"
Ruan Shengpeng thought for a moment: "If that scientist can demonstrate his abilities and contribute to the country as soon as possible, he will be released from surveillance!"
The leader was aware of this approach, and he sighed, "Let nature take its course. If we are destined to be together, time will not be a problem! If we are not destined to be together, no matter how much we do, it will be useless!"
After hanging up the phone, Ruan Shengpeng called Yao Tongxu again. Yao Tongxu was extremely surprised to hear Ruan Shengpeng's voice on the other end!
Last night, he listened to his sister's advice and told his father about his plans, hoping that his father would be prepared. He didn't expect to receive a call from him today.
He and Ruan Shengpeng had almost never spoken on the phone before, and he would only exchange a few words if his sister called him.
If it weren't for his mother calling and him saying a few words, the father and his adult son would seem like natural enemies, almost like kings never meeting!
He knew he couldn't do the kind of long phone calls he used to have with his mom and sister, so he simply asked, "Dad, is something wrong?"
Ruan Shengpeng: "..." My fatherly heart was instantly extinguished!
"I've spoken with your brother-in-law, and he won't stop you two from being together. We'll also handle the background issues. You two should get along well!"
Yao Tongxu was surprised: "You've been running around for my sake all morning?"
Yao Tongxu felt a pang in his heart. If Yao Tongjia hadn't reminded him, and if Brother Xiao hadn't spoken to him, he wouldn't have gone to his father for help when he had a problem.
Although his father had been back for several years, he always felt that there was a barrier between them, and he would never ask his father for help when he needed to talk to Brother Xiao.
This time, he felt as if that invisible and intangible barrier had disappeared, and he sincerely said, "Thank you, Dad!"
Ruan Shengpeng's heart clenched. This kid seemed easier to get along with than his sister. Every time he spoke to him, the boy always treated him like an outsider.
Sometimes he would exclude himself as a father, saying that without interaction there was no affection, and their relationship was actually similar to that of neighbors.
Now that he heard the sincerity in his son's voice, Ruan Shengpeng hummed in response and hung up the phone. His eyes were a little moist, afraid that his son would hear his vulnerability.
It was worth the morning's effort; he was so happy to receive his son's approval, even though he usually paid more attention to Yao Tongjia.
Just like him, the brat was avoiding each other's feelings. He could only pretend not to know, afraid that if he got too close, he would scare the other away.
Before Ruan Shengpeng could even savor the moment, the guard came to report that the work had begun!
After Yao Tongxu hung up the phone, he didn't return to his seat for a long time. He Jiale asked curiously, "Brother, what's wrong? Who called?"
Yao Tongxu stood up and walked over: "It's nothing! My dad called and told me to go ahead and date, and he'll take care of the background issues!"
"Your dad is so good, I don't know when mine will be!" He Jiale had a heart attack. He should have known better than to ask!
Xiao Gengwu stopped: "Your question is simple, just ask the father to contribute more research, and everything will be solved!"
He Jiale's eyes lit up: "Why don't you go and help them with the issues sometime, Brother Xiao, so I can pass the background check as soon as possible!"
Xiao Gengwu did not refuse: "We'll go after we've finished this one and they haven't finished theirs yet!"
He Jiale was delighted: "Then it's settled, Brother Xiao. I'll definitely give you a big red envelope as your matchmaker in the future!"
"No way! I don't want the title of matchmaker!"
He Jiale was not about to miss such an opportunity: "Yes, Brother Xiao, I'll let others know. You're the best matchmaker!"
Yao Tongxu laughed, but a voice came out: "What are you laughing at? I brought you a lot of food!"
Yao Tongxu jumped up: "Sis, what did you pack? I'm a little hungry!"
Yao Tongxu, who had just jumped over, hesitated as she reached out to grab something. What kind of older sister was this? She brought her boyfriend along without even telling her first.
I just jumped over like that and spoke like that. Does she think I'm not mature at all? Can I go back now and do it all over again?
Seeing her younger brother's unpredictable expression, Yao Tongjia knew what he was thinking: "What are you standing there for? Take the things over!"
He Jiale glanced back briefly, then saw Yao Tongxu's stunned expression and whistled, "Ah Xu, who is this? Aren't you going to introduce him?"
Yao Tongxu then came to his senses: "This is my girlfriend, Li Youyou. This is my good friend, He Jiale. This is my brother-in-law, Xiao Gengwu. He's in a critical situation right now, so let's not disturb him! Come and sit down!"
Li Youyou nodded generously and sat down to help set the table: "This is some delicious food that Tong-jie and I saw outside. We packed it up for you in case you were hungry!"
