Tengteng answered the phone, listened for a few minutes, and then said, "Yes, I'll go back right away."
With three family members serving in the military, everyone knew that Tengteng's vacation was ruined again. Even Chou Chou knew that Tengteng was leaving again.
After Tengteng hung up the phone, Chou Chou ran over and hugged Tengteng's leg. "Uncle Nao Nao, Uncle Tengteng, are you going to catch bad guys?"
"Mmm." Tengteng rubbed Chou Chou's head. "You have to be good at home and eat your food properly."
Chou Chou looked up at Tengteng and said, "Okay. Uncle Nao Nao, Uncle Tengteng, do you need my help?"
Tengteng smiled and said, "No need this time. Your uncle will tell you when you need it."
"good."
Tang Huihui waved to Tengteng.
Tengteng walked over and sat down next to Tang Huihui.
Tang Huihui patted Tengteng's hand. "Be careful when you go on missions, Grandma is waiting for you at home."
"good."
"Call Xiuli and explain. Otherwise, people will think you're deliberately hiding."
"good."
After exchanging a few more words with Han Dashan, his sister, and his brother, Tengteng went back to his room to pack his things. Once he was done, Tengteng called Qiao Xiuli.
After the call connected, Tengteng said he had a mission and had to go back.
Qiao Xiuli didn't think Tengteng was deliberately avoiding him. Her father used to be called away frequently even during his vacations. "Then go back and get the marriage application done."
Tengteng had originally planned to talk to Qiao Xiuli in a few days. But now he had to go on a mission and didn't know when he would be back. If he didn't return for a year or two, things would be even more complicated. "Xiuli, I'm sorry. I was too impulsive back then."
Qiao Xiuli frowned: "You want to regret this? How can you face my father?"
Tengteng rubbed his forehead. Originally, Tengteng didn't want Qiao Xiuli to know that her father had schemed against him. Tengteng didn't want to ruin Qiao Xiuli's image of her father. But… Tengteng didn't have time to slowly persuade Qiao Xiuli. “Xiuli, Uncle Qiao, he actually…”
As soon as Tengteng finished speaking, Qiao Xiuli immediately said, "You're talking nonsense. My father is in very good health."
“I’m not making this up. If you don’t believe me, I can take you to the person who treated your father.”
Qiao Xiuli sneered a few times: "My father is already dead, yet you still slander him."
"I didn't. I told you, if you don't believe me, I..."
Before Tengteng could finish speaking, Qiao Xiuli interrupted him. "Since you dared to take me there, you must have already colluded. You surnamed Han, I really feel sorry for my father."
Tengteng knew that no matter what he said now, Qiao Xiuli wouldn't believe him. What Tengteng wanted to make Qiao Xiuli understand was that he wouldn't marry her because of her father. "Xiuli, I've never been in a relationship. But everyone around me tells me that marriage requires mutual appreciation and affection. Xiuli, we've met several times before, but we've only ever seen each other as brother and sister. Xiuli, Uncle Qiao's ultimate goal is for you to be happy. Xiuli, do you think you can be happy marrying me?"
Qiao Xiuli snorted. "Isn't all this just an excuse for your ungrateful behavior?"
"I was too impulsive at the time."
"You just couldn't think of a suitable excuse at the time."
"Xiuli, I know you won't believe anything I say right now."
"That's because you're lying. If you had just said you didn't want to marry me, I would have respected you. Now you keep saying my father is scheming against you or that we won't be happy together. You're such a hypocrite."
Tengteng felt he had dug a huge hole for himself. "If you insist on thinking this way, there's nothing I can do. Xiuli, I can't marry you now, but if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me, and I will definitely help you."
"No need. You hypocrite."
After saying that, Qiao Xiuli hung up the phone.
Tengteng thought for a moment, then picked up his bag and went downstairs.
Downstairs, Tang Huihui was talking to her younger brother.
The older sister is teaching Chou Chou how to play checkers.
Tengteng: "Grandma, I'm leaving."
Tang Huihui: "Okay. Be careful on the road."
“Okay.” Tengteng looked at his sister. “I just called Xiuli and told her I can’t marry her because of her father. She said I’m a hypocrite. Can you help me talk to her? If she doesn’t listen, then forget it.”
"Okay," the older sister said, looking at Tengteng. "Don't promise yourself off so easily again in the future."
“Okay.” Tengteng looked at her younger brother again. “Later, you and your sister will take Qiao Xiuli back to her mother for me.”
Younger brother: "Okay."
Tengteng looked at Chou Chou and said, "Say goodbye to your uncle."
"Okay." Ugly raised his hand and waved. "Goodbye, Uncle. Uncle, I'll be taller when you come back next time."
After Tengteng left, the older sister looked at Chou Chou and said, "Mom and Uncle are going out for a bit. You stay home and keep Great-Grandma company."
"Okay. Mom, come back soon."
"Um."
Qiao Xiuli was packing her things when someone knocked on the door. Qiao Xiuli ignored it.
Outside the door, the younger brother frowned. "The waiter clearly said she didn't go out."
The older sister knocked again.
Qiao Xiuli still ignored her.
The younger brother was a little worried. Qiao Xiuli's father had only recently died. And now Tengteng had rejected her. What if she did something rash...? "Sister, let's ask the waiter to open the door for us."
The older sister glanced at Qiao Xiuli's room. "No need. Let's wait in the lobby."
The younger brother was still a little worried. "Let me tap it again."
"No need. She must have guessed it was us, that's why she won't open the door for us. Let's wait over there."
"Are you really alright?"
"Um."
"Oh well."
After her older sister and younger brother sat on the sofa in the lobby for a while, Qiao Xiuli came downstairs with her luggage.
The older sister and younger brother stood up from the sofa. The older sister looked at Qiao Xiuli and said, "Are you going back? Let us take you."
Qiao Xiuli said with a dark face, "No need."
The older sister smiled and walked towards Qiao Xiuli. "My brother brought you back. Now that he's away on a mission, we can't just leave you here. So," the older sister took Qiao Xiuli's luggage from her hands, "let us take you back."
Qiao Xiuli didn't want to give her luggage to her older sister. But somehow, the luggage ended up in her sister's hands. Qiao Xiuli wanted to take her luggage back, but her sister immediately gave it to her younger brother.
Qiao Xiuli's face darkened even more. "Give me back my luggage. I don't need you to take me."
The older sister smiled and took Qiao Xiuli's arm: "Oh, we're already here, so please let us see you off."
After saying that, the older sister took Qiao Xiuli's arm and walked out. "Little brother, help Sister Qiao cancel the house reservation."
Younger brother: "Okay."
Qiao Xiuli smiled when she saw that her older sister and younger brother insisted on seeing her off. "Since you insist on seeing me off, then I'll let you do it."
More than three hours later, Qiao Xiuli spoke: "We've arrived. Stop the car."
My sister's eyes narrowed immediately.
The younger brother glared at Xiuli. "Is this your house? You dare to live here?"
