Chapter 44

Nan Bo had a lot of grievances in his heart but couldn't say them. No matter how he explained, his mother and sister looked at him as if to say, "I understand, stop making excuses."

"Stop imagining it, both of you. It was really just an oolong. She was clumsy and spilled coffee on me. She was wiping her clothes. It's not what you think."

Nan Tao: "Really? Why don't I believe it? Don't you always dislike others touching you? Even if she wiped your legs, why didn't you just refuse? If my mother and I hadn't come in and saw it, would you have developed into..."

Nan Bo raised his index finger and tapped Nan Tao's forehead, "What nonsense are you talking about."

Nan Tao didn't believe Nan Bo's explanation. If he really didn't like the secretary assistant, the coffee spilled on him would be enough to get him fired, not to mention that he allowed her to kneel on the ground and touch her. Her thighs were sensitive skin and sensitive areas. Could the opposite sex touch them casually? She didn't believe that he didn't like her. Why didn't she realize that her elder brother had a love brain inclination before?

The secretary assistant just now looks a bit ordinary and has a bit of a naive personality, but it doesn’t matter. As long as Big Brother likes her, she has no objection.

Nan's mother happened to think the same thing, and she advised earnestly, "Son, I've been through this before, you just have feelings for her but you don't know it. How else can you explain that you treat her differently from others? We don't play the game of the domineering CEO in novels. Don't wait until the other person is gone before you realize you like someone else, and then regret it and start chasing your wife through the crematorium. How pitiful."

Nan Bo's temples ached and the back of his head swelled. He pinched his brows and asked, "Mom, have you been reading too many novels recently?"

Nan's mother changed the subject: "Mom is worried about your marriage and love life!"

Nan Bo: "I know my limits, you don't have to worry."

Nan's mother said sternly, "You have your own way. You are already over 30 and still not married? Xiaoze is already six years old, and you are still single!"

Nan Bo was speechless, and after a while he said, "Don't you always say to follow fate?"

Nan's mother: "You have been letting fate take its course for more than ten years. How long do you have to let fate take its course? Now that you happen to meet a suitable girl, you should be more careful. Your father and I are not old-fashioned people. We will not force you to get married. But you have to take the initiative to find a partner. Otherwise, it will be a daydream to expect a wife to fall from the sky and be given to you directly."

Nan Tao agreed, "Mom is right, unless you are single and determined not to get married."

Nan Bo was immediately overwhelmed. "I understand. I will be proactive."

Nan's mother: "Then who are you and that little girl just now?"

Nan Bo reiterated: "Mom, you think too much."

Nan's mother was suspicious, "Are you sure?"

Nan Bo was sure and certain: "Sure!"

Nan Tao wondered why her elder brother always denied that he had feelings for the girl when he seemed to have feelings for her. She and her mother were not strangers and had asked him several times. Her elder brother would not lie to his family. Could it be that he didn't understand? No, her elder brother had been a top student since he was young. Even if he didn't notice it at first, she and her mother had reminded him several times. He should have reacted. Could it be that he really didn't feel anything?

If this is the case, Nan Tao feels deeply regretful, as the future sister-in-law she had gotten has flown away again.

Nan Tao: "Brother, you are not really gay and you are not interested in women, right?"

Nan Bo raised his index finger and tapped Nan Tao's forehead again, "What nonsense are you talking about? I, your brother, have a normal sexual orientation, but I just haven't met the right person yet."

Nan Tao said bitterly: "Your fate came so late. By the time you got there, the daylilies were already cold."

Nan's mother sighed: "Okay, it's all for nothing. How about you go on a blind date? The daughter of a friend of mine recently returned from studying abroad. She's a top student, fair-skinned and beautiful. Why don't you make an appointment to meet her?"

Nan Bo just wanted to coax the person away first, so he replied perfunctorily, "Okay."

Nan's mother smiled happily: "That's a deal. I'll arrange for the person to meet you, and you two can chat first. If it's a good match, then go ahead. If not, then find the next one."

After Nan Bo sent Nan Ma and Nan Tao away, he breathed a sigh of relief, pinched his brows, and sat back in his office chair. He looked at the document for a long time, but he couldn't concentrate and didn't read a single word.

He sighed deeply, put down his pen, opened the locked first drawer, and took out a photo frame. Inside the frame was a photo of a girl wearing a bachelor's gown with a bright and sunny smile.

Nan Bo traced the girl's face with his fingertips, deep longing in his eyes.

Knock, knock, knock on the door.

Nan Bo put the photo frame back into the drawer, locked it again, and said, "Come in."

"President, here are new documents that need your signature." Lin Yirou said with red eyes, and walked in with a thick stack of documents waiting to be signed in her hand.

Nan Bo raised his eyes, his gaze fixed on the red and swollen eyebrows of the secretary's assistant, and he was absent-minded for a moment.

Lin Yirou's cheeks flushed as she was stared at. She put the document on her desk with a slightly blushing face, "President~"

Nan Bo retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Go out."

Lin Yirou was reluctant to leave, and stood for a while. She looked at the tall and handsome president, and inexplicably felt a lot of grievances in her heart. She opened her mouth, wanting to say that she was bullied by her colleagues, and also wanted to say that she would work hard and seriously to repay the president.

But as soon as he said the word "I", he was interrupted by the president.

"Why don't you go out?"

Lin Yirou bit her lip and said, "Remember to sign." After that, she closed the door reluctantly and left.

The huge president's office fell silent again.

Nan Bo opened the drawer again, took out the photo frame, stroked the girl's delicate eyebrows with his fingers, sighed slightly, and locked the photo frame back into the drawer.

On the other side, Nan's mother Nan Tao returned to Nan's house, and Nan's father was playing chess with Yu Ze in the yard.

Nan Tao walked over and saw the grandfather and grandson fighting with serious faces. She suddenly found it funny, "Dad, how can you walk like a horse?

After a while, "Son, why don't you use your cannon to capture that soldier?"

Seeing Nanba and Yuze fighting to the final critical moment to decide the winner, Nan Tao said nervously: "Don't make that move, you should do this..."

Nan's father put down the chess piece helplessly: "Watch the game in silence!"

Yu Ze: “Mommy!”

Nan Tao pouted her lips, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, just have fun by yourselves."

Nan's mother shook her head in amusement and took Nan Tao's hand: "Don't disturb them, grandpa and grandpa. Let's go in and watch TV. I want to tell you that I found a really good TV show recently. You will definitely like it..."

Nan Tao: "Mom, what kind of cliché drama have you watched again? It's totally illogical and looks fake at first glance..."

Nan's mother: "As long as it looks good."

The two walked and talked, and soon entered the living room.

Nan's father shook his head and said to Yu Ze, "Your mother has been a troublemaker since she was a child."

Yu Ze said sternly, "Grandpa, you are not allowed to talk about Mommy like that."

Nan's father shook his head and said, "You don't understand. When your mother was little, she was very naughty. She climbed up the roof and did all kinds of things, just like a monkey. It was only when she was in high school that she became a lady in the eyes of others."

Yu Ze placed the chess pieces slower and asked curiously, "Really?"

Dad Nan: "Grandpa has never lied to you." As he said that, Dad Nan took advantage of his grandson's inattention and ate the other man's handsome face.

Yu Ze was angry: "Grandpa, you are cheating!"

Nan's father: "My son, grandpa is teaching you that soldiers should not be tired of deception."

Yu Ze pursed his lips.

Nan's father coughed lightly and said, "At worst, I can secretly show you the childhood photos that your mom hid."

Yu Ze's eyes lit up.

Nan's father looked around and whispered, "Don't tell your mom, okay? She always says that those are her dark histories and can't be seen by others. Some of them, even your dad hasn't seen."

Yu Ze stretched out his hand and looked at Nan's father expectantly.

Nan's father wondered: "Why?"

Yu Ze: "You are not allowed to lie to others. Those who lie to others are puppies."

Nan's father smiled and flirted with the little brat, "Grandpa always keeps his word."

Nan Tao, who was watching a melodrama with Nan's mother in the living room, didn't know that Nan's father had sold her out, and was happily complaining about the melodrama.

"Mom, look at how he keeps losing his memory. It's so ridiculous. This is the case in eight out of ten TV dramas."

"Hahaha, this is so funny. The heroine regains her memory and goes to look for the hero. Then she finds him on the street. The hero tells her not to move and walks over. But he gets hit by a car."

"This is too tacky... so embarrassing."

"Torture, torture, torture, torture to death, I'm going to faint, it's almost the end, and the hero is hit by a car?"

"Why don't both the male and female protagonists die!"

Nan's temples ached. "Who did you learn this habit from? You watch TV all the time, but your mouth is always busy. Aren't you tired?"

Nan Tao hugged Nan Ma's arm and leaned on her to act coquettishly, "Isn't this too infuriating? I want to crawl into the TV and slap them twice."

Nan's mother poked Nan Tao's forehead unhappily: "You, you..."

After watching the final ending, Nan Tao and Nan Ma cried their hearts out.

Nan's father took Yu Ze into the house with a guilty conscience. He saw his wife and daughter crying. He hurried forward in panic, "Wife, who bullied you? Weren't you fine just now?"

Father Nan held Mother in his arms and comforted her with concern.

Nan Tao ate a mouthful of dog food and wiped her tears with a sad face.

Yu Ze walked to Nan Tao's side and said, "Mommy, don't be sad. I will never peek at your childhood photos again next time."

Nan Tao: “??? What childhood photo?”

Yu Ze blinked. Oops, he seemed to have misunderstood.

Nan Tao looked at her son, whose mouth was like a clam shell, then turned to stare at Old Man Nan and said in a deep voice, "Dad! Did you do something bad behind my back?"

Nan's father looked at Yu Ze in reproach, but Yu Ze turned his head and pretended not to see it.

Nan's father's scalp tingled: "Well, daughter, I... uh..."

Nan Tao: "You've gone too far! You actually took Xiaoze to secretly look at my childhood photos! I'm going to complain to Grandpa!"

Nan's father quickly begged for mercy: "No, my precious daughter, Dad didn't mean it."

Nan's mother quickly advised: "Taotao, your grandpa is old. What if he gets tired of beating your dad with a stick?"

Nan's father: "???"

So the wife doesn't feel sorry for herself, but for her father? !

Nan Tao: "Then Dad, please show some appreciation, and I won't tell Grandpa."

Nan's father was speechless: "You clever little thing, you just take advantage of your grandfather who loves you the most."

Nan Tao smiled and said, "Give it to me or not?"

Nan's father was heartbroken and gave his daughter a set of violet jewelry that he had just bought at an auction and was going to give to his wife.

Nan Tao took it and opened her mouth in amazement, "Wow, this is so beautiful."

Dad Nan closed his eyes in pain.

Nan Tao's eyes rolled and she came to Nan's mother's side: "Mom, I think this set is elegant and grand, it suits you very well, I will lend the flowers to give it to you."

Nan's mother's eyes were full of smiles: "My daughter is still filial."

Nan Tao: "Mom, do you like it?"

Nan’s mother: “I like it very much.”

Nan Tao gave Nan's father a provocative smile.

Father Nan: “…”

I feel so sad that I can’t express it. I want to cry!

When it was dinner time, after Nanbo returned home, the five of them gathered together for a rare meal.

At the dinner table, Nan's mother asked, "Taotao, when will your mother-in-law and her family come back?"

Nan Tao: "I don't know. He just called me last week and said he's still traveling abroad. I don't know when he'll be back."

Nan's mother: "Husband, why don't we choose a date to go abroad for fun?"

Dad Nan was eager to spend some time alone with his wife, so he nodded in agreement.

Two days later,

Nan Tao took Yu Ze out of Nanzhai and headed straight for the airport. After getting off the plane, they headed straight for the program team's bus.

Two hours later, we arrived at the filming location of the fifth episode of the third season of "Mom Takes Her Baby on a Trip".

The village chief usually introduces the land he is standing on: "This is Shun'an County, which has a long history. More than a thousand years ago, this place was..."

After a lengthy introduction, the village chief officially got to the point: "There is no need to play the room selection game for this episode. We will all live in the same villa."

The guests looked at each other, feeling bad, and asked one after another, "Village Chief, tell me the truth, what is the program team planning this time?"
