Bringing the baby back to China, the cold CEO becomes a fishing husband

Li Yin, carrying a small backpack, holding an umbrella in one hand and drinking water from a cup in the other, followed leisurely, smiling at the two of them as if she was watching a good show.

Xiang Siyuan, on the other hand, was very patient and enjoyed the experience, always responding seriously to every word An An said.

At dinner time, the two took An An to eat hamburgers as they had agreed. After dinner, Xiang Siyuan drove them back first.

It was past eight o'clock in the evening and the entrance to the community was still very busy, with white and yellow lights shining through the shops.

Xiang Siyuan also got out of the car, intending to send them to the door and then go back.

An An pulled her mother to stop and pointed to one side.

"Mom, the flower shop."

Li Yin understood and asked Xiang Siyuan to wait there for a while.

Xiang Siyuan walked two steps to the side, stood on the curb, and watched two people, one big and one small, walk into the door decorated with flowers of various colors.

Soon, the two came out, and only An An was holding a pink flower with a pink bow tied on the branch.

An An walked up to him, raised her head, and stretched her hand diagonally upwards.

"A gift for you, Dad."

Xiao Anan did what he said. His mother lent him money first, and he went back to pay his mother back from the piggy bank.

-

After Xiang Siyuan said goodbye to them, he returned to the car but did not start the car and drive away immediately.

He turned on the roof light, leaned back in his seat, relaxed, and looked quietly at the carnations in his hand.

Thinking back to little An An's innocent face, the street lights shone in his pure eyes, shining brightly, and seemed to shine to the tip of his heart.

From this location you can also see the building where they live.

Xiang Siyuan looked at the clusters of lights and wondered which room they were in.

He recalled the day's interactions with An An and Li Yin. Except for his unfamiliarity in the beginning, everything went well after that and he completely integrated into the roles of father and husband.

He also remembered Li Yin's surprised look and the smile on her face when he unscrewed the mineral water bottle and unconsciously raised his hand to shade Li Yin from the sun.

There were two knocks on the door. Xiang Siyuan came back to his senses from his memories and unexpectedly saw Li Yin coming back.

He rolled down the window and heard her say,

"let's talk."

When they came to the cafe again, they ordered the same coffee as last time.

A cup of flat white and a cup of latte, the only difference is the thickness of the milk foam, but they both exude the bitter yet mellow aroma of coffee, lingering around the two of them.

Xiang Siyuan spoke first.

"Is it uncle or auntie who is at home with An An?"

"Yes." Li Yin recalled the expressions of her parents today. They seemed a little strange. When she asked if they were feeling unwell, they just said they were tired from climbing the mountain.

Li Yin didn't think too much about it, because she had an idea that she had been thinking about all afternoon, and she wanted to talk to Xiang Siyuan.

"How do you feel today?"

"Very happy." Xiang Siyuan looked into Li Yin's eyes. There was the most genuine smile in his eyes.

"Thank you for your arrangement, and thank you for letting An An recognize me."

Li Yin got the answer he wanted, and became more resolute. He took a deep breath, but pretended to be cool.

"Let's get married."

"What?" Even though Xiang Siyuan had seen many big scenes, he was still surprised by this sudden information and was not sure whether he had heard it wrong or Li Yin had said it wrong.

"I said, let's get married. Let's live together as a family of three."

"For An An, is that right?" Xiang Siyuan couldn't think of any other reason. It was impossible for an independent and strong woman to fall in love with him just because of his little care. He still had this self-awareness.

Li Yin nodded.

"You can see that An An really wants to live with you."

Xiang Siyuan thought about how when they said goodbye in front of the elevator, An An had asked him when they would live together, and he wanted his father to live with them.

Xiang Siyuan didn't know how to answer, and Li Yin said that Dad still had a mission to complete, and after completing it, he could live with An An.

Xiang Siyuan thought Li Yin was coaxing An An, but he didn't expect that Li Yin really thought so.

"We say we're getting married, but we don't need to get a marriage certificate or hold a wedding yet. We can just live together as a family of three."

"What if I say, the wedding is up to you, but I want to get a marriage certificate?" Xiang Siyuan looked at Li Yin.

"I have a son named An'an, and to be honest, I have some feelings for you, but I may not like you enough. If you are willing, we can get the marriage certificate. I also hope to give you and An'an some protection and some compensation, just to make up for my guilt of being absent for so many years."

Seeing that Li Yin did not answer, Xiang Siyuan guessed again.

"Or, you already have someone you like, then..."

"I don't have anyone I like," Li Yin made a quick decision, "I agree with your proposal."

Xiang Siyuan smiled.

"Tomorrow is Sunday. Let's go get the certificate on Monday morning. I'll pick you up. Is that okay?"

Li Yin was infected by Xiang Siyuan's smile and responded with a smile, "Okay, then we'll meet downstairs at 8 o'clock on Monday morning."

The two men, each of whom had their own companies and careers and seemed to be very mature and stable, made the most unstable decision.

-

Until she entered the house, Li Yin still found it a little funny.

She closed the door behind her, and thought about what happened that day while changing her shoes, with an unstoppable smile on her face.

Li's mother was sitting on the sofa soaking her feet.

They arrived home around 3pm, and after washing up, they took a short nap to relieve fatigue and regain their spirits. As people age, sleep is the best way for them to recover.

She was fine before going to bed, but soon after waking up, Li's mother always felt some soreness in her calves and soles of her feet. So Li's father kept nagging Li's mother to exercise more, and asked her to practice Tai Chi every day like him. He also went to the pharmacy downstairs to get medicine bags for Li's mother to soak her feet.

Dad Li usually has the habit of doing morning exercises, so climbing mountains has little impact on him.

He is in the kitchen now, the water is boiling, and he is about to put the noodles into the pot.

"Yinyin is back? Do you want to have some noodles? I'll make a tomato and egg topping."

"No more eating, Dad. Have you had a good sleep?"

"He's asleep. You guys must be very tired from playing today. Your mother just finished washing her, and she lay down and fell asleep."

Li Yin nodded, "Yeah, he is very happy today." It's better not to tell my parents about Xiang Siyuan for now, and wait until Monday to do it.

Li Yin felt a little guilty and was afraid of being discovered, so she said hello to her parents and went into the room to get her clothes and wash up.

"The noodles are ready, come and eat." Li's father came over, waited for Li's mother to wipe her feet, then took the footbath bucket to the bathroom, put the medicine bag in a separate garbage bag, poured the water into the toilet, and flushed it away. He washed his hands with hand soap, dried them, and returned to the living room.

Mother Li has already packed two bowls of noodles for herself and her husband, topped them with tomato and egg toppings, which looks very appetizing.

Dad Li sat down across from Mom Li and chatted with her, talking about what he had seen and heard on the road today and gossip among his colleagues.

Thinking of what happened to his old rival today, Li's father put down his chopsticks and asked his wife for her opinion with some concern.

"Tell me, Xiang Hezhong is not really sick, right? Before we parted today, he told me that we should live in peace from now on, although his expression still looks like he deserves a beating."

"What nonsense are you thinking? Maybe they really want to make peace after fighting for so many years."

Dad Li thought about it and shook his head.

"Impossible. I know him. Unless the sun rises in the west, otherwise,"

Father Li seemed to have thought of something and raised his voice, "He wouldn't have done anything to let me down, could he really be on the side of that old man Li from the Second Hospital?!"

Director Li of the Second Hospital has always been at odds with Li Guanhua, but Director Li is very enthusiastic towards Xiang Hezhong. Xiang Hezhong did not refuse, but he did not express his opinion either.

Zeng Yafang was almost amused by Li's father's idea. These two people can't have a bad relationship, and they can't have a good relationship either. But maybe this is their special way of getting along.

"Ask him next time you see him. Eat first. The noodles are going to clumping up."

Just before Li Yin went to bed, she was still thinking about how to tell An An tomorrow and asked him not to tell him about meeting his father first, but unexpectedly, An An had a fever in the middle of the night.
