Chapter 356 You Must be Happy
Ling Tianyi was very concerned with the marriage of Luo Xixi and Fang Ruichen. There were three ‘flies’ whom he hated most before haunted Xia Xiaoluo. But now Ouyang Ziqian and Xia Xiaoluo were cousins; they must be impossible. As Fang Ruichen married Luo Xixi, he could not have the chance either. So the only thing he needed to do was to let Chu Wei restrain his brother Chu Tong.
Taotao was looking forward to Luo Xixi’s wedding because he could be one of the flower children with sister Xiaoxiao.
In the afternoon, Luo Xixi talked with Xia Xiaoluo in the cafe while Ling Tianyi took Taotao to go shopping. Taotao said that he wanted to prepare the best birthday present for sister Xiaoxiao, and buy himself formal attire to attend Xiaoxiao’s birthday party.
Xia Xiaoluo and Luo Xixi had time to talk to each other alone in Ling Tianyi and Taotao’s absence.
Xia Xiaoluo talked about her trip to Y Country briefly. It was just an understatement, with many of the reasons unexplained. After all, these things had passed, and she did not want to mention it again.
“Xixi, I’m really curious about how you fell in love with Fang Ruichen? Tell me! I’m waiting for your story!” Xia Xiaoluo gossiped. She was really curious.
“In fact, I liked Fang Ruichen when I met him for the first time. It’s undeniable that I also like boys who are tall and cool and can play basketball. But at that time, he had been going after you stupidly, and I was a little self-abased. So, I always hid my feelings in my heart.” Luo Xixi sighed.
“Xixi, I swear, I never meant to be with Fang Ruichen.” Xia Xiaoluo clarified it hurriedly for fear that Luo Xixi might have some ill feelings on her.
“You can feel at ease! I know you very well. Who else can be in your heart except Manager Ling? Even Ouyang Senior, you refused him politely. Not to say Fang Ruichen, the fool who only made you unhappy, not knowing how to please you at all!” Luo Xixi said with a smile.
“I was always thinking that he bullied me on purpose!” Xia Xiaoluo shook her head.
“He’s like a little boy! When he meets the girl he likes, he does not know how to express his love, so he goes to bully her. At last, he makes the girl angry and sad without knowing what to do.” Luo Xixi looked like an expert of love, dissecting Fang Ruichen’s character.
“Then how could you be together at last? Did you go after him, or did he go after you?” Xia Xiaoluo asked.
“I really want to thank you.” Luo Xixi said with a smile.
“Thank me? For what? I have never play Cupid for you two!” Xia Xiaoluo rolled her eyes. She only wanted to play Cupid for Ouyang Ziqian and Dou Ya. But she has never introduced boys to Luo Xixi.
“Because you let me make the acquaintance of Fang Ruichen. As you were my roommate, Fang Ruichen often could not find you, so he came to me! In this way, Fang Ruichen and I became quite familiar. Then you suddenly disappeared, and he could not find you. He felt very sad. He was in a bad mood every day, and he lost temper easily as well.”
“I was worried about you as well. I was really anxious. Fang Ruichen and I often skipped classes to find you everywhere, including the streets, back lanes, train station and airport. We encouraged and comforted each other. So we finally fell in love with each other.”
“So I’ve changed from a female otaku to who I am now, not because of Fang Ruichen, but because of looking for you.”
“As for who took the initiative to go after the other, of course me, the super-woman, went after him first. At that time, Fang Ruichen was a little awkward. So I made an appointment with him. If we could not find you in two years, we would give up. He also agreed. And then, we tried our best to find you during the two years, but we found nothing about you. Fang Ruichen was moved by my concern, so we got together.”
“Besides, Fang Ruichen treats me well. Although he overlooks details, he has never forgotten the key events like my birthday, the birthdays of my parents, Valentine’s Day, Chinese Valentine’s Day, and so on. He never forgot them.”
“Last month, he proposed to me. It was romantic. I’m not a sentimental and shilly-shally person, I love him, so I accepted the proposal immediately.”
Luo Xixi said happily. She also showed the diamond ring on her finger to Xia Xiaoluo. Fang Ruichen bought it for her when he proposed to her.
“I never expect that you two could get married because of me. It’s a good thing. What a good thing it is!” Xia Xiaoluo was very happy, “Xixi, congratulations! Wish you a happy marriage. Wish you a happy life!”
“We will be happy.” Luo Xixi said, “What about you? You must be happy since you are with Manager Ling!”
“We… we haven’t got married yet!” Xia Xiaoluo felt a little helpless.
“Why? Manager Ling loves you so much. Do you know that he looked for you crazily after you left? He could do everything for you. When Fang Ruichen and I were looking for you, we always had connections with Manager Ling. I know it clearly. What’s more, Xiaoluo, with my previous understandings about you, you also love him. Since you two love each other so much, you have to get married and live together for the whole life. Not to say that you have Taotao!” Luo Xixi said, becoming a little excited.
“Xixi, as so many years have passed, many things are different. But if we can be together, I’ll try to make myself happy.” Xia Xiaoluo said and tasted the coffee elegantly. It was hard to tell that she only liked juice and milk tea before.
“You must be happy. Think about it, your son is only a few years old, but he is busy looking for little beauties to pursue his own happiness of love. As his mommy, you should set a good example! Moreover, children would feel happy only when they grow up with their parents.” Luo Xixi said, “Xiaoluo, Taotao needs a happy family!”
What Luo Xixi said made Xia Xiaoluo think a lot. Xia Xiaoluo sat in the suite room of the hotel and kept thinking.
Luo Xixi was right. Taotao really needed a happy family. She could not do anything before, but it was different now. She had the right to choose, and she could give Taotao a happy family.
“Mommy, mommy…”
Taotao ran all the way to the arms of Xia Xiaoluo, “Mommy, why don’t you wait for me at the cafe? Why did you come back alone? I’m worried about you!”
“Are you? However, you need to buy presents and go to the amusement park. I was tired, so I came back to have a rest.” Xia Xiaoluo said and kissed Taotao, “Are you obedient today?”
“Of course, I’m so obedient!” Taotao said and looked at Ling Tianyi.
Ling Tianyi could only cooperate with Taotao and said, “Taotao is really good, obedient and attractive.”
When Ling Tianyi finished, Taotao nodded with great satisfaction. He said to Xia Xiaoluo again, “Mommy, I bought many things!”
“Did you buy them? You don’t have money!” Xia Xiaoluo didn’t like what Taotao did, “Taotao, you shouldn’t always let the adults buy things for you!”
“I’m willing to. I buy things for my son. I’d like to buy as many as I can. Besides, the more I buy things, the happier I am.” Ling Tianyi said. He did not know how to make up for the lack of his love to his son as a father. Since Taotao wanted to buy something, he was naturally willing to pay and serve him. At least after buying things for him, his heart could be comforted.
“You will spoil Taotao!” Xia Xiaoluo shook her head.
“I won’t. I know my son. He is so obedient. He must be an elite in the future. He won’t learn bad things.” Ling Tianyi supported Taotao at once, which made Taotao nodded with satisfaction again.
Xia Xiaoluo shook her head helplessly, she couldn’t say anything.
“Mommy, look at this. It’s the birthday present I prepare for sister Xiaoxiao!” Taotao took out a small box.
“Really? Baby, what did you buy for sister Xiaoxiao? Can I have a look at it?” Xia Xiaoluo pretended to be curious about it with an exaggerating expression. Because Taotao liked her behaving like this.
“Of course you can have a look! Taotao likes mommy best, and sister Xiaoxiao the second.” Taotao said and opened the box.
“Wow, it’s beautiful!” Xia Xiaoluo made an exaggerating expression again, “Did you choose such a beautiful little crystal crown by yourself?”
“Of course! I have seen the photo of sister Xiaoxiao. And this crown is suitable for her princess dress.” Taotao was very proud. He was always confident about his tastes.
“I think sister Xiaoxiao will like it very much!” Xia Xiaoluo said.
“Of course. I chose it myself.” Taotao became proud even more.
“Mommy, I also picked my formal attire to attend sister Xiaoxiao’s birthday party. And I picked a gown for you, too!” Taotao said. Hearing this, Ling Tianyi took the boxes on his hands to Xia Xiaoluo and Taotao at once.
“Mommy, let’s go inside the room and try the new clothes on, shall we?” Taotao suggested.
Ling Tianyi agreed with Taotao, “Try it on. Taotao chose them by himself. You need to satisfy your son’s demands!”
“My mommy loves me best. She must satisfy my demands. I don’t need you to agree with me!” Taotao said immediately.
“You little kid, your father has dropped the business of hundreds of billions yuan and spent the whole afternoon along with you buying presents, picking up clothes, and going to the amusement park. Now you stand against me?” Ling Tianyi was helpless. It was a long way to make his son like and accept him.
Taotao ignored Ling Tianyi and took Xia Xiaoluo to the cloakroom directly.
“Taotao, he is your daddy. You can’t be so impolite to him!” Xia Xiaoluo said to Taotao in the room.
“I see, mommy. I just don’t like him to be mean to you!” Taotao said like an adult, “He loves you, but he is also with the bad woman, kissing and having dinner with her. I’m not happy about that!”
Ling Tianyi heard what Taotao said at the door. He felt very upset.
Clothes, toys, presents, going to the amusement park, all of these can’t buy Taotao over. Taotao had his own thoughts.
Ling Tianyi understood that he must be more patient with his son. And he had to do better to dispel Taotao’s distrust on him. He had to become the best father. However, the most important thing was that he needed to make Xia Xiaoluo happy. If Xia Xiaoluo kept smile all the time when she stayed with him, Taotao would accept him naturally.
Ling Tianyi knew that his way was wrong from the beginning. He should not coax Taotao by buying toys for him, which would make Xia Xiaoluo accept him for the sake of Taotao.
