That evening, Ruan Shengpeng, Yao Yanxin, and Ruan Liang moved their luggage to Yao Tongxu's house. After finishing their meal, Xiaobuding said she wanted to go back to the study to work.
The usually bustling house suddenly became quiet, and Yao Tongjia felt a little uncomfortable: "When I come home, the house is always noisy, and it's really not used to it being so quiet now!"
Xiao Gengwu pulled Yao Tongjia to his side: "It's perfect that we can have some time alone together. You're going to Hong Kong for a month this time, and I'm worried you'll stay there and not come back!"
Yao Yanxin rested her head on Xiao Gengwu's shoulder: "You're here, the child is here, Daddy Axu is here, how could I not come back?"
At this point, Yao Tongjia recalled Ruan Shengpeng: "Why did Dad get so angry just now?"
Xiao Gengwu laughed: "Mom went to Hong Kong to dye her hair, and she even got it permed. She's dressed very fashionably, looking like a movie star!"
“If someone says Mom is only forty years old, some people will believe it. But look at you and Dad. Although he works out and looks younger than most people, no matter how young he looks, he looks like he's from a different generation than Mom!”
"And you still dare to say he's old? Do you think he wouldn't get angry?"
Yao Tongjia laughed out loud: "Is that so? I really don't think Mom and Dad are like two different generations. Maybe I've always thought they were a couple and never thought of it that way."
"Mom is a well-known designer. If her fashion sense is bad, how can she live up to her reputation? It's just that no one in China is paying attention to Mom right now, otherwise she wouldn't have any peace here either!"
"Besides, my cosmetics are no joke. They're very effective at reducing wrinkles and blemishes. It's because Dad uses them once and then stops for half a month, otherwise he wouldn't look so old!"
"I heard Dad say before that the face mask and lotion smelled too good, so he was embarrassed to use them and only used them occasionally when he was sure he was at home!"
Yao Tongjia really didn't know this. Her cosmetics were of course for women, so she hadn't considered the fragrance issue: "Then I'll design one especially for Dad!"
Xiao Gengwu put his arm around Yao Tongjia's shoulder: "You designed one especially for Dad, but what about me? I don't want people to say we're from two different generations!"
Taking the opportunity, Yao Tongjia leaned against Xiao Gengwu: "That's easy. Do you want it scented? If not, just use the unscented kind like Daddy!"
"Let's stick with unscented ones! These days, men really don't even know how to moisturize properly. If they smell it, they'll definitely criticize me!"
If Yao Tongxu and He Jiale found out, they would definitely make Yao Tongjia do it too. He didn't want that. He had no problem giving something made by his wife to his father-in-law, but he wouldn't want it to be given to anyone else!
Yao Tongjia leaned against Xiao Gengwu's chest, and the couple enjoyed this rare moment of warmth. They didn't see that Xiaobuding was about to get down, but then went back down so as not to disturb them!
Back in her room, Pudding thought of her parents' affectionate moments. She also thought of Junsheng. Junsheng was like a stubborn leech; once she was stuck to him when she was little, she could never get rid of him!
Grandpa was right. The two of them hadn't had many opportunities to meet in the past few years. Today was the first time they had met this year. Every time she felt like she was about to forget about him, he would show up to remind her of his presence.
She'd swipe and leave, then reappear the next time. It's only because she has a good memory that she'd erased that person from her mind!
Everyone says that young girls are prone to infatuation, but she has never really liked anyone and has no expectations for relationships. She just lets things take their course and sees what happens in the future.
Should I abandon Junsheng now? Why do I feel a little reluctant?
Ruan Shengpeng would never have imagined that Xiaobuding, who hadn't considered Junsheng's feelings before, would suddenly seem to be taking them more seriously after being reminded by her grandfather.
I wonder if Ruan Shengpeng will feel like he shot himself in the foot when he finds out?
The couple downstairs had no idea their daughter had been out, and continued gossiping about her father-in-law: "We just got back today, how would my dad know someone invited my mom out to dinner?"
Xiao Gengwu would never help his father-in-law hide the truth: "Dad must have spies in Hong Kong. Someone must have said something to him that made him feel insecure."
"Someone invited Mom to dinner and said they wanted to give her a gift, but Mom refused. Let me tell you, Mom is much more charming than me!"
Xiao Gengwu's lips twitched. His wife really didn't know he was a treasure, nor did she know how valuable she was now.
If he hadn't told Li Chenyi to make some tough statements in Hong Kong, the line of men wanting to pursue his wife would have stretched to who knows how long. Yao Tongjia thought that since she was already married, no one would be pursuing her anymore.
Men in Hong Kong prioritize profit above all else, and can trample morality underfoot.
Yao Tongjia is the daughter of the Commander-in-Chief. She has a close friend who holds a high position and does business in China. She is successful in almost every business she enters.
She is quite beautiful and has outstanding personal abilities. So what if she's married? If you can win her over, your entire family will rise to a higher level. Who cares if you're married or not!
Let's get our hands on it first!
Unlike his father-in-law, who might feel jealous but do nothing, Xiao Gengwu would only feel at ease if he had everything under his control!
Yao Tongjia can only be my wife for the rest of my life, and I will never let anyone else touch her!
The two were talking idly when suddenly Xiao Gengwu seemed to remember something: "I'm going to the auditorium to receive an award next week, would you like to come with me?"
That's a grand auditorium; Yao Tongjia had never been there before. Of course, she was happy to go and see it: "That would be great, but what award did you win? I've never heard you mention it before?"
"This isn't a big prize. I'll tell you when I win an international award!" Xiao Gengwu is now planning to win an international award.
"What exactly is that award?"
"National Science and Technology Special Prize!"
"What innovation have you brought this time?"
"This award is for those who have made contributions to the country, but they've been suppressing it for fear that people from other countries would find out about us!"
"Aren't you afraid now? Won't you be targeted?" The security guards around the two elderly members of the Xiao family were only withdrawn when they passed away a few years ago.
Even after retirement, they dare not retreat; they must continue to protect!
Yao Tongjia knew that Xiao Gengwu had made many, many contributions over the past ten years, more than a large research institute, but he had never been well-known in China.
Xiao Gengwu relaxed: "I'm not afraid anymore. Now that the country is strong, we're not afraid of outsiders!"
This is really great news! Yao Tongjia pulled Xiao Gengwu up: "Let's go pick out some clothes now, or maybe Mom will make you a special outfit tomorrow!"
As Xiao Gengwu listened to Yao Tongjia's rambling on and on, her entire focus on him, his heart ached with a bittersweet mix of emotions, and he was overjoyed!
