Chapter 252: Strategy for the Diplomat Pursuing Perfection 16

Such a small gesture really touched Peng Lidong at this moment.

In a foreign country, it is such a lucky and happy thing to have a fellow countryman from the same place as you.

For him, he followed his father to a foreign country since he was a child, went to school and integrated into the life here. Everything here made him remember everything about his homeland.

Suddenly, Peng Lidong took Cheng Cheng's hand, and then the corners of his mouth curved slightly. He said, "I'll take you to a place."

Cheng Cheng followed his steps, still a little confused, "Where are we going?"

"London Bridge."

……

In the evening, the tail of the sunset could still be vaguely seen on the London Bridge. The two walked side by side on the bridge in the twilight, leaning on the railings and looking at the foreign children playing on the Thames River below the bridge.

The refreshing night breeze caressed her cheeks, and Chengcheng tidied up her messy hair.

Then he whispered: "Why did you bring me here?"

"It's the most relaxing to stay here at night. I used to come here alone to wander around aimlessly, but today I suddenly didn't want to come here alone, so I dragged you along to try."

Cheng Cheng said softly, "How does it feel after trying it?"

The lights on the bridge shone a faint fluorescent light on Peng Lidong's head. He quickly lowered his head and looked at her softly: "I'm thinking of booking an evening breeze with you next time."

Cheng Cheng rested his head on his arms and asked without thinking: "Only next time?"

"You can do it anytime you want."

Hearing this, Cheng Cheng smiled sweetly, "It's settled then, my bridge builder."

"what?"

Seeing his surprised eyes looking over, Cheng Cheng's smile widened a little, "The bridge walker means a bridge walker, which means we have a good relationship."

After listening to her explanation, Peng Lidong finally understood and repeated, "Bridge."

Seeing that he was teachable, Cheng Cheng encouraged him and guided him step by step, "We are each other's bridge builders. Once we form a team, we can't separate. You can't walk around on the bridge with others, okay? You can only come here with me."

Peng Lidong nodded and then asked, "What about you?"

"Me too, it's a gentleman's agreement..." Orange signaled him with her eyes.

The man quickly understood what she wanted to say, and said, "I will never let you down."

……

It was not until it got dark that the two of them walked down the bridge and strolled back home.

When they got home, they were startled by Peng's father sitting in the living room as soon as they changed into slippers.

Peng Lidong was the first to react. He looked at his father in surprise and asked, "Dad, why are you here?!"

"I heard about your performance. You did very well at the summit today. I wanted to come back to see you, but when I walked in, I found that you were not at home. After all the fuss, you went out to date a girl. Why don't I introduce you to Dad now that I'm here?"

Peng Lidong walked over, put down the flower basket, sat down and quickly explained: "Dad, you have a big misunderstanding. We are not dating..."

Cheng Cheng took two steps forward and said, "Hello, uncle! My name is Shen Yuying. Li Dong is right. We are just ordinary friends."

Father Peng looked at Peng Lidong with a sour face, then turned to look at the other side, and his tone became very relaxed, "Yuying, right? Child, please sit down."

"Hey!" Chengcheng chose to sit down directly on the side close to Peng Lidong, and was careful to get closer to him.

In the situation just now, if she lied that they were in a relationship, the male protagonist's favorability would definitely drop. Although she has now cleared up the relationship, she also saw Peng's father with her own eyes, which is not a loss.

Seeing that they were all sitting upright, Father Peng asked casually, "Children, have you eaten?"

Peng Lidong said, "I haven't eaten yet, Dad. I'm just about to come back to cook."

Chengcheng pricked up his ears and sat quietly listening.

"How can you not eat? I'll go make something for you." Father Peng stood up with his hands behind his back and asked Cheng Cheng, "Child, you don't have any dietary restrictions, right?"

Cheng Cheng shook her head gently, "I don't have any dietary restrictions, uncle."

Father Peng nodded and went straight to the kitchen.

After Peng's father left, Cheng Cheng and Peng Lidong looked at each other, and Cheng Cheng approached him cautiously with doubt in his eyes and asked, "Why did your father come here suddenly?"

"I was also surprised. It was my negligence that I didn't think it through."

Cheng Cheng shrugged noncommittally, "It's okay, I don't blame you."

Peng Lidong looked at her calm appearance and asked with interest, "You weren't scared by my dad, were you?"

"No, why is your dad such a monster in your heart?"

"No, no, actually my dad was in the battlefield. After the founding of the country, he became the chief of staff. Later, he was arranged to be an ambassador abroad. When I first came here with my dad as a child, my foreign friends were scared away by my dad. Even now, there are still people who are afraid of my dad's aura and dare not come to my house."

Cheng Cheng looked back at him and smiled: "Then I am very brave, right?"

He met her eyes and said softly, "You are quite capable."

……

Soon, Peng's father came out with two plates of food.

"Children, come and try our Chinese cuisine."

Chengcheng followed Peng Lidong to wash their hands and eat. The table was already set with dishes and chopsticks.

The staple food is pasta, and the side dishes are two home-cooked dishes: braised mushrooms and stir-fried meat with green peppers.

Father Peng picked up the bowl and chopsticks, looked at the two of them and said, "Why are you still standing there? Sit up and eat."

The two of them came to their senses and hurriedly sat down.

Before he even started eating, Father Peng looked at Cheng Cheng and said, "Son, I haven't cooked for many years. You don't have to save face for me if the food is not delicious. If you don't want to eat, don't eat. Don't force yourself."

Peng Lidong couldn't help but say, "Dad, why didn't you say this to me?"

Father Peng looked at Peng Lidong and said word by word: "How dare you not eat up all the food I made?!"

Peng Lidong remained silent and thought to himself, you are my father, of course I wouldn't dare.

Seeing Peng Lidong's frustrated look, Cheng Cheng smiled silently with the corners of his mouth curved.

Peng Lidong noticed her teasing, and the hand that was picking up the food turned around and put the food into her bowl.

They say that since we are good friends, please help me share the burden.

Cheng Cheng: ...She didn’t know what to say.

It would be too obvious to put the food back into his bowl at the dinner table. If she couldn't put it back into his bowl, she would just serve it to him.

However, before the two of them had even had a few exchanges, they were noticed by Peng's father.

"What are you doing? How can you have a good meal if you keep pushing and shoving each other?" These words were mainly directed to Peng Lidong.

Cheng Cheng also stopped.

The table began to quiet down. Father Peng cleared his throat and said, "It's really hard to get used to eating hard noodles abroad. I'll steam some buns for you guys to try someday when I have time."

Cheng Cheng nodded and said, "Thank you, uncle. I will definitely come over to eat."

Father Peng smiled and said in a gentle voice, "Welcome."
