Chapter 386: Home
After the conversation started, the blockage in Xia Ruwan's chest disappeared, and she began to feel interested in drinking and chatting with Li Congxiao.
Seeing that she was drinking too fast, Li Congxiao advised her, "This fruit wine has a strong aftertaste. Don't drink it as juice."
"You're at home anyway. If you're drunk, just go back to your room and rest. Why are you being so shy?" Xia Ruwan picked up the wine jug and poured him a glass.
"You really don't treat me as a man." Li Congxiao muttered.
"What?" Xia Ruwan didn't hear what Li Congxiao said clearly. She moved closer, almost touching his face, and stared at him blankly. "Speak louder. I can't hear you."
Li Congxiao felt that his breathing was out of rhythm. He used drinking to cover up his previous loss of composure and said, "I'll have three more cups with you. After that, go back to your room and rest."
Shuhui was waiting not far away, and when she saw that Xia Ruwan had almost finished drinking, she hurried over to serve her.
She said to Li Congxiao, "Mr. Li, you are so smart, it is easy for you to control our young lady. Our young lady is a person who takes feelings very seriously, please do not betray her trust, Mr. Li."
"You are a very loyal girl to your young lady. Don't worry, I can't bully her. It's good enough that she doesn't bully me." Li Congxiao said as he picked up Xia Ruwan.
Shuhui tried to stop it.
However, Xia Ruwan hugged Li Congxiao's neck and rubbed against his chest.
Shu Hui: “…”
Even though Li Congxiao was a frequent visitor to brothels, he could remain calm in the face of the temptations of dancers and prostitutes. But at this moment, he was as confused as a young boy.
Shuhui lowered her head and dared not look.
Xia Ruwan's fingers brushed across Li Congxiao's cheek, and she said lazily and coquettishly, "You're quite handsome, why don't you be my son-in-law?"
Li Congxiao looked at her with a half-smile: "I'm very expensive, can Wan'er afford it?"
"How much can your small body eat? You can easily feed ten, let alone one." Xia Ruwan stroked his Adam's apple with her fingers.
Li Congxiao couldn't bear it anymore.
He carried Xia Ruwan back to the room and put her on the bed.
Just as he was about to leave, Xia Ruwan pulled back her strength and brought him directly to the bed.
Li Congxiao groaned and looked at the drunkard in front of him helplessly.
"Xia Ruwan, please see who I am."
"No matter who you are, I like you and want you to be my son-in-law. Do you dare to get out of bed and try?"
"Okay, just don't regret it." Li Congxiao said, moving closer to Xia Ruwan's little face.
Xia Ruwan looked at him expectantly: "Why did you stop? Do you have a hidden illness?"
Li Congxiao was completely defeated by her.
He forcibly pried her hands away, broke free from her arms, and ran out of the room at a very fast speed.
Shuhui had been guarding the door. Seeing that Li Congxiao's clothes were disheveled, she looked at him with strange eyes.
Li Congxiao said uncomfortably, "Go in and serve your young lady well. She drank too much today, so make her some hangover soup. Also, she is not allowed to go out at this hour."
This little drunkard is already mentally confused. If he keeps clamoring to go out and find a live-in son-in-law, he won't even notice that he has been taken advantage of.
Shuhui went in to serve Xia Ruwan.
However, Xia Ruwan had fallen into a deep sleep at this time and did not make any noise.
Li Congxiao stood outside for a while and heard no movement from inside. He was completely relieved and returned to the Li residence next door.
Li Taohua tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. When she first returned to the capital, she stayed at home all day long because she was afraid of meeting someone she didn't want to meet. But she was never one to sit still. If it was just one or two days, it would be fine. She could barely hold on for half a month or a month. But she had been back in the capital for so long. It was impossible for her to stay in that small house all day without going out. Wouldn't that be more painful than killing her?
During the day, she took Tang Dafu to burn incense. In the nunnery, she met an old friend. It was because of meeting that old friend that she was so worried that she lost her appetite.
Tang Dafu was sleeping soundly, and his snoring was like thunder.
Li Taohua kicked him.
Tang Dafu rolled off the bed and fell to the ground with a bang. He suddenly woke up from his dream and looked confused.
"Wife, what's wrong?"
"You're making so much noise." Li Taohua glared at him angrily.
Tang Dafu got up from the ground, got on the bed, and hugged Li Taohua in his arms: "It's my fault, my fault. You go to sleep first, and I will sleep after you fall asleep."
Li Taohua listened to Tang Dafu's heartbeat, and the anger in her heart dissipated, and she felt much calmer.
"The child's father..."
"Wife, what's wrong?"
"What do you think of Yinyin?"
"Of course it's the best. Our Yinyin is pretty, has a good temper, and is smart. In short, there's nothing wrong with her."
"If someone suddenly wanted to take her away, would you be reluctant?"
"Who dares to snatch Yinyin away? Yinyin is your beloved, and she must not be snatched away by others." Tang Dafu said, "Wife, Yinyin has reached the age of marriage, do you want to find a boyfriend for her?"
Apart from marrying Qin Huiyin off, he couldn't think of anyone else who could snatch the beloved daughter-in-law away from him.
No wonder his wife disliked him in recent days. It turned out that she was worried that her daughter would get married and become someone else's daughter-in-law, and they would not be able to see each other every day.
"Actually, my wife, Yinyin is still young, so it's okay for her to stay for a few more years. With her conditions, she is the only one who can choose others, and no one else can choose her. If all else fails, we can learn from the Xia family and recruit a live-in son-in-law."
"Okay, go to sleep. I have nothing to say to you." This is totally irrelevant.
Li Taohua was extremely disgusted.
However, it was precisely because of Tang Dafu's irrelevant words that she suddenly understood.
The daughter is hers, she doesn't want to let her go, who can snatch it from her?
Besides, those so-called old friends and Yinyin were not that close. The people closest to her were long gone, and they entrusted their children to her before they left, so Yinyin was her daughter.
Li Taohua had just fallen asleep when she was woken up again. Once she was awake, she would have a migraine, and the pain made her even more aggressive than usual.
"Do you want to die?" Li Taohua sat up suddenly and pinched Tang Dafu who woke her up.
Tang Dafu was strangled by the neck and couldn't breathe. He said aggrievedly: "Wife, I didn't mean to wake you up. It was a matchmaker who suddenly came and said he was looking for a matchmaker for your daughter."
"Which daughter?" Li Taohua calmed down a bit. "You said something about marriage last night. I wonder if your bad mouth is right? Our two daughters are still young. What about marriage?"
"The official media said they wanted to talk about the second young lady, so the second young lady must be Yinyin!" Tang Dafu said, "Yinyin has attended several banquets recently, so I guess someone has noticed her."
"Someone..." Li Taohua shouted, "Come in right now and help me dress up."
Who? Who dares to take advantage of her daughter?
