Tang Sheng also smiled and nodded.
“Of course. 1 found Tang Sheng Industry after 1 listened to your Grandma.”
Liuli and Grandpa Tang were already full, but Tang Moxi had just returned for dinner.
The two of them didn’t leave the dining table. Instead, they chatted as they accompanied Tang Moxi.
Later on, when Grandpa Tang was tired, Tang Moxi pushed him back to his room to rest.
The attending doctor performed a routine checkup on Elder Tang and walked out of the bedroom.
Tang Moxi asked the attending doctor about Grandpa Tang’s health over the past few days.
…..
The attending doctor said that Old Master Tang’s physical and mental condition was better than before.
It seemed that his engagement to Miss Yu had played a positive role in Old Master Tang’s recovery.
Liuli, who was standing beside Tang Moxi, was also very happy to hear the attending doctor’s words.
She didn’t think that her engagement to Mr. Tang would really have any effect.
However, she was very happy to hear that Grandpa Tang was feeling better.
She felt that Grandpa Tang’s health would get better and better until he completely recovered.
After Tang Moxi asked the butler to send the attending doctor away, he turned around and saw Liuli smiling at him with her hands behind her back.
“You’re happy?” “Yeah, aren’t you happy?” Liuli asked with a smile.
“I’m quite happy too!” Tang Moxi nodded as he walked over.
“Should we go celebrate?” Liuli immediately asked.
“How do you want to celebrate?” Tang Moxi laughed.
The little girl was waiting for him here!
“Let’s go to the bar and have a drink!” “You like going to the bar that much?” Tang Moxi was amused.
Could it be that he had married a little drunkard?!
“I’ll just have one drink!” Liuli pointed a finger at Tang Moxi and said ingratiatingly.
“Let’s go!” Tang Moxi seemed to be helpless against Liuli. In the end, he agreed and held her hand as they walked out of the living room.
The two of them drove to the bar.
It was the same one that Tang Moxi had brought her to before.
Ken was in charge of mixing drinks.
“Hello, Brother Ken,” Liuli greeted him excitedly.
“Hello, Sister Liuli!” Ken smiled as he nodded, then asked, “What would you like to drink tonight?” “The one you made for me last time was pretty good,” Liuli replied.
“Do you want to try something new today?” Ken suggested.
“Alright, Brother Ken, recommend something to me!” “How about the Angel Kiss?” “She’ll get drunk!” Tang Moxi reminded.
“Is it as exaggerated as that?” Ken smiled and glanced at Tang Moxi. Then, he turned to Liuli and continued, “How’s your alcohol tolerance?” “Does drinking two bottles of beer count?” Liuli bragged.
Actually, she didn’t know that she usually didn’t drink!
“Okay, that’s great. Then let’s have a glass of Angel Kiss!”
Tang Moxi looked at the two of them in amusement. They were acting as if he didn’t exist.
“Liuli, if you’re drunk, I won’t send you back tonight!” “1 won’t get drunk. Besides, I can go back myself,” Liuli replied seriously.
In fact, she was completely assured.
With Mr. Tang around, he would take responsibility until the end, so she didn’t have to worry about being abandoned.
Besides, it was rare to have such an opportunity to go out with Mr. Tang.
Usually, he didn’t even have the chance to drink it!
Ken made the cocktail and placed it on the bar in front of Liuli. Then, he cut a plate of fruits for Liuli.
Then, he started chatting with Tang Moxi.
Tang Moxi took out a wedding invitation from his pocket and placed it in front of Ken.
“Seriously?” “I’m serious!” Tang Moxi replied aloofly.
Ken took the invitation with a smile. Then, he flipped it open and saw the names written on it: Tang Moxi and Yu Liuli.
Then, he turned to look at Liuli.
Liuli was studying the cocktail and wasn’t interested in their topic.
Above the white cream, there was a bright red cherry blossom.
With every sip of the cocktail, the cream sank in before opening and closing, like an angel kissing a red cherry.
Liuli felt that this name was too vivid!
Listening to the soothing music while sipping ‘Angel’s Kiss’, Liuli felt quite comfortable.
Before she knew it, she had finished the cocktail and almost finished all the fruits.
At this moment, she heard Tang Moxi say, “Liuli, we should go back.” “Oh, okay!” Liuli replied. Then, she turned around and said to Ken, “Thank you, Brother Ken. We’re going back now. Bye!” “Bye!” Ken nodded with a smile.
Liuli got down from the high chair.
After Tang Moxi waved at Ken, he pulled Liuli out of the bar.
Ken watched them disappear around the corner, then looked away and went back to work.
After Liuli followed Tang Moxi out of the bar, she couldn’t help but mutter, “Brother Moxi, it’s not good to let Brother Ken treat us every time we go!”
She had never seen Mr. Tang foot the bill!
“It’s indeed not good! But since Ken has already treated us, why don’t we go back and eat more? It won’t be a loss.” After Tang Moxi thought about it for a while, he lowered his head to look at Liuli.
Liu Li thought she had misheard him.
The next second, she heard Tang Moxi’s hearty laughter.
Only then did Liuli realize that she had been teased by Mr. Tang again.
“Mr. Tang, why do you always like to tease me?” Liuli asked angrily.
“Yes!” Tang Moxi replied with a smile.
“It’s immoral to build your happiness on my pain!” Liuli criticized.
“Alright, then what do you think I should do to build my happiness on yours?” Tang Moxi stopped smiling and asked Liuli humbly.
“First of all, you shouldn’t tease me!” Liuli emphasized.
“For example?” Tang Moxi raised his eyebrows and asked.
“Just like this time, when you brought me here to play, you should have paid the bill instead of letting Brother Ken treat us.
1’11 be too embarrassed to come next time!” “You still want to come?” Tang Moxi asked.
“I’m just hypothesizing!” “Okay, then what?” “When I talk to you, you can’t treat me like a child. You have to answer me seriously.” “I don’t treat you as a child!” Tang Moxi emphasized.
“But you act like this sometimes!” Liuli pointed out righteously.
“Okay, I’ll apologize. Then what?’ “Then, let’s go home!” Liuli replied.
Tang Moxi was stunned for a moment, but in the next second, he couldn’t help but laugh. As he laughed, he explained, “1 mean you no harm, and 1 have no intention of teasing you.
It’s just that you’re so cute, even talking to you like this, is very fun to me!” “Cute is an insult!” “Oh really? What does that mean now?” Tang Moxi asked humbly.
“Its means being pitiful and unloved!” Liuli nodded as she said.
“Well, you don’t have anything to do with this saying.
…..
“Many people like you!” Tang Moxi smiled as he hugged Liuli’s shoulder.
They walked towards where they had parked their car.
Liuli couldn’t help but feel speechless. ‘You seem to be used to treating me like a child, but you don’t have this self-awareness!’
After the two of them got into the car,
Tang Moxi turned around and asked.
“You want a late night snack?” “Okay, okay!” Liuli immediately perked up when she heard about food.
Although she had drunk cocktails and ate fruits in the bar just now, they were all things that couldn’t fill her stomach!
“What do you want to eat?” “Is porridge okay? The porridge you cooked last time!” Liuli blinked as she asked innocently.
“Sure!” Tang Moxi looked at Liuli and nodded after a while.
“Brother Moxi, you’re so nice!” Liuli immediately replied ingratiatingly.
Tang Moxi shook his head in amusement.
Since this little girl said that she wanted to eat porridge he cooked, he had to go buy groceries first before returning to the apartment to cook. He really put in a lot of effort to win her heart!
“I’ll call my parents-in-law. I’ll send you back later. Otherwise, 1’11 be reprimanded!” After saying that, Tang Moxi picked up his phone and called the Yu family’s residence.
This time, it was Lin Yu who answered the call.
“Mom, I’m Jingxing. I’m sorry, but 1 might have to send Liuli back later tonight… It’s nothing. She just wants to eat supper. After supper, I’ll send her back.. Okay, thank you, Mom… Okay, I’ll take good care of her!”
After Tang Moxi finished his phone call, he turned around and was about to ask Liuli if she wanted to say something to her mom.
But he saw that Liuli had already fallen asleep in the passenger seat.
It took no more than two minutes.
After Tang Moxi looked at Liuli for a while in amusement, he unbuckled his seatbelt and took a thin blanket from the back seat to cover Liuli. Then, he helped her buckle her seatbelt before putting on his own seatbelt and driving away from the bar.
After a while, Tang Moxi heard Liuli mutter, “Uncle, 1 want to eat shrimp!”
Tang Moxi was amused.
In the end, he had no choice but to drive back to the Tang family’s house.
Initially, he wanted to buy some vegetables to cook in the apartment, but Liuli had fallen asleep in the car. He was worried about leaving her alone in the car.
He had no choice but to drive home.
The ingredients for cooking porridge in the fridge at home were complete.
When they returned to the Tang family’s house, Tang Moxi carried Liuli back to the small building where he lived and let her lie on the bed to sleep for a while. He would wake her up after cooking the porridge.
Liuli was at Tang Moxi’s mercy. After she muttered, as if she was protesting that she wasn’t comfortable enough, she fell silent.
After Tang Moxi covered her with the blanket, he went downstairs to the kitchen to cook porridge.
Aunt Chen, the cook, was about to rest when she heard the commotion and came out of the room. When she saw Tang Moxi in the kitchen, she hurriedly said that she would cook.
“Aunt Chen, you should go and rest. 1’11 do it myself. Don’t bother!
Tang Moxi turned around and said.
In the end, Aunt Chen went back to the bedroom to sleep.
After Tang Moxi took out the ingredients from the fridge, he started to cook porridge.
After cooking the porridge, he placed it in a thermos and walked out of the kitchen.
After he returned to the small building and went up to the second floor, he placed the thermos on the table in the living room on the second floor and went into the bedroom to wake Liuli up.
However, Liuli turned over and continued to sleep, as if she had no intention of waking
up.
As Tang Moxi looked at the sleeping Liuli, he felt a little troubled.
Should he wake her up to eat porridge, or should he let her sleep until dawn?
In the end, Tang Moxi gave up on waking Liuli up. After covering her with the blanket that she had kicked to the side, he turned off the light and walked out of the room.
He sat on the sofa alone and ate the porridge he made.
For some reason, Tang Moxi actually felt a little lonely!
He couldn’t help but smile and shake his head. When did he become so pitiful?
After eating a bowl of porridge, he put down the bowl. He didn’t have much of an appetite to begin with, so he took smoked a cigarette.
After smoking, he went downstairs to lock the door.
He could only continue to make do on the sofa tonight.
Tang Moxi entered the bedroom and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out, he could vaguely hear suppressed cries.
He was stunned for a moment before he realized that it seemed to be coming from the bed.
Shocked, he quickly turned on the lights and walked over.
He saw Liuli huddled in a corner of the bed, hugging the blanket and crying.
“Liuli, what’s wrong?” “There’s… there’s a rat biting my foot…” Liuli said as she cried.
Tang Moxi was stunned for a moment. In the next second, he almost laughed out loud, but he could only endure it.
Otherwise, Liuli would be unhappy and throw a tantrum.
“There are no rats. You were dreaming just now!” Tang Moxi comforted her.
“There are. It bit me, so I woke up!” Liuli insisted.
“Okay! It’s gone now. It won’t come back.” “Then stay here!” “Okay! Go to sleep!” Tang Moxi replied.
Only then did Liuli lie down again, but her hand kept tugging at the sleeve of Tang Moxi’s pajamas, as if she was afraid that he would run away.
At this moment, Tang Moxi couldn’t tell that Liuli had become timid because of the alcohol.
Or was it because she was still groggy?
However, he could only accompany her like this until she let go of him in her sleep.
Liuli curled up beside Tang Moxi like a kitten. She looked docile and adorable.
Tang Moxi looked at her quietly. He didn’t know if marrying her would give her happiness or harm her.
If not for him, she would have gone to university carefreely like other people her age.
After graduating from university, she would be busy looking for a job. Then, she would consider marriage.
But now, it seemed like the cart before the horse had been turned.
He had told Liuli about this before.
This marriage was just a temporary measure. Her life wouldn’t change because of this.
After getting married, she could still go back to school to continue her studies.
When Grandpa Tang passed away, they could get a divorce.
At that time, she would be free again.
But when that time came, would he really be willing to let go of her?
Perhaps when the time came, it would be as he had promised. Her life wouldn’t change because of this, and everything could return to the beginning.
At this moment, Tang Moxi was also uncertain.
When Liuli woke up, she found herself lying beside Mr. Tang.
And this time, it wasn’t on the sofa, but in an unfamiliar room.
She fell asleep in Mr. Tang’s arms. She was still wearing the clothes she had worn when she went out last night, but she had taken off her coat.
Liuli couldn’t help but moan. She really couldn’t drink in the future, or she would take advantage of Mr. Tang every time she was drunk.
Did she molest Mr. Tang when she was drunk because she didn’t have the courage to do so while sober?
Thinking of this, Liuli sighed again.
“Why are you sighing at such a young age?!”
When Tang Moxi’s voice came from beside her, Liuli was startled and looked up at Tang Moxi.
She could only smile foolishly. She didn’t even know how to greet him!
“Did you sleep well?” Tang Moxi teased again.
“It’s not very comfortable. This bed isn’t soft enough!” Liuli criticized with false bravado.
“Your bed isn’t a wooden bed?” “I even laid an extra blanket!” Liuli replied righteously..
