After Xia Xiaoluo and Taotao left the villa, Ouyang Feng found it desolate again. At this time, Ouyang Ziqian came to him, telling him the plan of visiting the orphanage where Xiaoluo’s mother had lived in next week.
“Grandpa, should we take Xiaoluo there as well? If Xiaoluo goes there, Taotao will definitely be with her. Taotao is only a child now, so I think it’s improper for him to be affected by such things now,” Ouyang Ziqian spoke his worries out.
“We must take Xiaoluo there. As for Taotao, who can take care of him?” Ouyang Feng asked his grandson for advice because he didn’t hope that Taotao would know about the dark facts in the orphanage when he was so young as well.
“For now, I think Dou Ya can do it well. She is Xiaoluo’s best friend since childhood, as well as Taotao’s godmother. What’s more, she is my girlfriend as well as a capable subordinate in Ling Tianyi’s company. However, we should discuss it with Xiaoluo first, so let’s make a decision after asking Xiaoluo for the advice!” Ouyang Ziqian said.
Ouyang Feng nodded, and then he asked, “Ziqian, you must take the girl named Dou Ya to me tonight. Look, Taotao took his girlfriend back home yesterday. You should not lose to Taotao!”
“OK. I have told Dou Ya about it. She will get off work early today. Then I will pick her up. Maybe we can arrive at home to have dinner before 6 o’clock.” Ouyang Ziqian said.
“That’s good!” Ouyang Feng nodded.
Ouyang Feng really didn’t feel well both in the state of mind and physical condition. He went to A City right after he was discharged from the hospital, so he thought that it was time to have a good rest. He must rest well because he would treat his future granddaughter-in-law in the evening.
In the photographic studio, Taotao cooperated well with them, so the family took photos smoothly. Ling Tianyi was handsome, and Xia Xiaoluo was beautiful. What was more, Taotao was lovely, so the staff in the photographic studio were all crazy about them. Especially the women staff who were infatuated with the handsome and richest man in A City.
After taking photos, they appointed the time to fetch the photos. As they just took some common family photos instead of the special ones, those photos would be available after several days.
“Xiaoluo, after I propose a marriage successfully, let’s travel around the world and take the wedding photos.” Ling Tianyi thought that the photographic studios were not high-end enough. But he was eager to take some family photos, so he went to a photographic studio randomly.
“OK! You owe me the wedding photos taken around the world. You promised me before, but you didn’t make it.” Xia Xiaoluo pretended to be dissatisfied. In fact, she understood that Ling Tianyi was helpless.
“Sorry. I made you disappointed. However, please trust me. Nothing will affect my plan this time.” Ling Tianyi seemed very guilty.
“Never mind. I was just playing a joke. I trust you!” Xia Xiaoluo said with a smile. Seeing that Ling Tianyi was very guilty, she felt distressed as well.
It was already noon when they came out from the photographic studio.
“Daddy, Taotao is hungry, and I want to have a big meal!” Taotao pulled Ling Tianyi’s clothes and touched his own little belly.
“I’m also hungry, and I want to have a big meal as well!” Xia Xiaoluo imitated Taotao deliberately. She also pulled Ling Tianyi’s clothes and touched her belly.
“OK! Let’s have a big meal now!” Ling Tianyi smiled stupidly. Looking at his wife and his son, he felt very happy suddenly.
“What shall we eat? The seafood feast you like? Or something else? The Chinese food or the hot pot?” Ling Tianyi asked the two that he loved most for advice.
“The seafood hot pot!” Xia Xiaoluo and Taotao answered at the same time.
Ling Tianyi grinned and said, “OK, let’s eat the seafood hot pot.”
“Daddy, I want to go to a buffet restaurant. I like picking the food up and cooking food by myself. It’s interesting!” Taotao said.
“So do I!” Xia Xiaoluo stuck out her tongue.
“Like mother, like son!” Ling Tianyi said with a smile, “No problem! I will meet your demands.”
Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo and Taotao to the buffet restaurant quickly. Taotao was so happy that he was busy in serving himself all the time.
For Taotao’s convenience, Ling Tianyi chose to have their meal in the hall. By doing so, when his son went to pick the food up, he could watch him for fear that Taotao would lose his way.
In fact, to be frank, Ling Tianyi liked having meals in the VIP room, because he could enjoy being served by waiters. There was no need for him to pick the food up and cook on his own. What he needed to do was to eat gracefully. However, his wife and son were both gluttons who loved delicious food, so he had to change his habits. As long as the two people he loved were happy, he would be happy as well.
Ling Tianyi was sitting at the table and having some ice water. While Xia Xiaoluo and Taotao went to select the food they liked, respectively. Watching them far away, Ling Tianyi thought that it was just the life he wanted. His wife and his son both accompanied him. They lived and had fun together, which was extremely wonderful.
Xia Xiaoluo took some ice cream and snacks that Taotao liked, she also selected some dishes that Ling Tianyi liked.
“Take a seat to have a rest!” Ling Tianyi asked Xia Xiaoluo to sit down. Because Taotao was busy picking the seafood up, in fact, it was enough.
Taotao focused on selecting the food that he and his mommy liked. He knew her mother’s taste well. Taotao brought a plate of food back and said to Ling Tianyi, “Daddy, what do you like to eat? I will take some for you!”
“Daddy is not picky. So I like to eat whatever you bring back!” Ling Tianyi said with a smile. Taotao asked for Ling Tianyi’s taste, which made Ling Tianyi delighted.
“OK! Daddy, I will go to bring some food. What I like is always delicious. I will ask you to have a try after I cook them,” Taotao said and ran away at once again.
“My son is so filial!” Ling Tianyi smiled, feeling delighted.
“My son is more filial to me!” Xia Xiaoluo argued with Ling Tianyi jokingly.
“OK, our son is filial to us!” Ling Tianyi didn’t want to argue with Xia Xiaoluo because he wanted to spoil her, making her happy.
“Ah!” Taotao cried out suddenly, and a plate of geoduck was dumped on a dignified and graceful lady.
“Ah! My dress! It’s a hand-made dress made by Italian designers. Oh, my God!” The dignified and graceful lady screamed, “Who is the annoying child? Who is his guardian? Where are his parents?”
Hearing the voice, Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo looked at Taotao at once.
Taotao lowered his head; he was seemingly wronged. But the woman who was screaming was just Taotao’s biological grandma, He Meishu.
“Let’s go!” Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo to deal with it hurriedly. Ling Tianyi believed that his mother wouldn’t deliberately embarrass her biological grandson.
“Sorry, I didn’t do it deliberately!” Taotao said anxiously, “My daddy and mommy are waiting for me there, and they will make up for it.”
“What? Can you afford it? The amount will not be enough even I sell you out!” He Meishu was furious because it was a new dress. What was more, she encountered such an accident when she wore it for the first time.
“Mom, what happened?” Ling Tianyi walked there together with Xia Xiaoluo.
Seeing that Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo were holding hands, He Meishu was so astonished that she opened her eyes widely, “Son, did you find Xiaoluo? Why didn’t you tell us about it? When did you come back?”
“Several days ago,” Ling Tianyi said.
“Daddy, please help me to make up for the dress of this lady. Or she will sell me to make the compensation.” Taotao threw himself into Ling Tianyi’s arms.
“Taotao, be obedient. She is your grandma, so she won’t sell you out!” Ling Tianyi held Taotao in his arms and comforted him.
He Meishu was stunned because she couldn’t expect that the boy who just destroyed her dress was her grandson that she missed most.
“Yi, what happened? Is the boy… my grandson?” He Meishu was so excited that her hands started to shiver.
“Mom, sure. Look, he looks like me very much! He is just a mini Ling Tianyi,” Ling Tianyi said with a smile, but He Meishu was embarrassed now. She hoped that Ling Tianyi could bring her grandson back all the time because she wanted to love him sincerely. However, she had never expected that she would have such an accident when she met her grandson for the first time. What was more, she roared at her grandson and threatened to sell him out.
“Taotao, call her grandma. Your grandma likes you very much,” Ling Tianyi encouraged Taotao to break the silence up.
“No! She is fierce, so I dislike her!” Taotao leaned on Ling Tianyi’s shoulders, he didn’t want to look at He Meishu anymore.
“Taotao, you should be polite. Don’t behave like that!” Xia Xiaoluo was also embarrassed, “Aunt, Taotao is young, and he doesn’t know how to behave properly now. Please don’t mind. We will send you a better dress another day to make up for your dress on behalf of Taotao.”
He Meishu regretted it very much in her heart. If she knew that Taotao was her grandson, she wouldn’t be irritated even all of her dresses were destroyed, not to say just one. She was reluctant to be angry with her grandson, as well.
Seeing that situation, He Meishu smiled awkwardly at once. “Xiaoluo, it’s OK. Don’t be so polite to me. I won’t ask my grandson to make up for my dress!”
He Meishu said, while she really wanted to embrace Taotao. “Taotao, my grandson, it was grandma’s fault just now. I shouldn’t roar at you just now. Grandma was playing a joke with you and grandma won’t sell you out, because grandma loves you most. Grandma is sorry, and I apologize to you. Stop being angry with me, OK?”
Taotao glanced at He Meishu, and it seemed that he was a little moved.
Ling Tianyi said, “Taotao, your grandma is daddy’s mommy. If you don’t forgive her, daddy will be upset. What’s more, your grandma has apologized to you. A man should be generous. If you are too stingy, no children will like you.”
“I’m not stingy. I have forgiven my grandma. I didn’t say any words just now because I was thinking about what food to select next,” Taotao said.
“Alas, my baby, you are so lovely.” He Meishu smiled and stretched out her hands, “Let grandma embrace you, OK?”
“Grandma, I’m too heavy, so you don’t have enough strength to hold me in your arms. I’m more than 4 years old now, and I will be 5 years old soon. I’m really heavy! Mommy often feels tired when she is holding me. Only daddy has enough strength to do it! Grandma, if you suffer from it, I will feel distressed!” Taotao winked at He Meishu, he seemed innocent.
“Now that your grandma doesn’t have enough strength, your grandpa will hold you in arms!” Ling Desheng said loudly.
