Chapter 342 Ouyang Ziqian Comes Back
Taotao was on his summer vocation. Xia Xiaoluo accompanied Taotao, waiting for Ouyang Ziqian at home. Xia Xiaoluo learned how to manage people like Ouyang Feng had said. She didn’t have to go to the restaurant all day. She could command the staff at home through the computer or the mobile phone.
Taotao was a little genius with a very smart brain. Although he was only more than four years old, he has completed the curriculum of grade three. Xia Xiaoluo wanted to let Taotao go back to A City and learn the curriculum of grade three there. After all, the curriculum in A City was much more complicated.
Taotao didn’t care about it. He was very confident. He always felt that he was the most intelligent student in the world. He could learn everything well. He also looked forward to going back to A City, so that he could prove his wisdom.
However, at this time, Feng Manni’s plan has come to a critical point.
“Taotao, your uncle will come back tomorrow. Do you miss him?” Xia Xiaoluo asked. She had not contacted with Ouyang Ziqian for a long time. In fact, she was also concerned about him. After all, she was his cousin. What’s more, Ouyang Ziqian left because of her. She also hoped that Ouyang Ziqian could go home earlier, getting together with the family.
“No!” Taotao said coolly.
“Why?” Xia Xiaoluo asked.
“He has ignored me for a long time. He didn’t send me any gifts, and he didn’t call me. He didn’t even send me emails. He didn’t miss me, so why should I miss him?” Taotao was playing with a tablet computer while talking to Xia Xiaoluo.
“Due to an accident, your uncle can’t keep contact with you temporarily. When your uncle comes home, he will definitely buy the gifts for you.” Xia Xiaoluo said.
“I’m more than four years old, not two or three years old. He can’t buy me off with toys.” Taotao said seriously. Xia Xiaoluo did not know whether to laugh or to cry
“But…” Taotao was about to speak, but he did not say anything.
“What?” Xia Xiaoluo asked.
“Mommy once told me that when I grow up, daddy will come to see me. Now I am more than four years old. I have learned to write, draw, play the piano and do martial arts. I am not a child anymore. When will daddy come back?” Taotao asked.
“Daddy…” Xia Xiaoluo was stunned. Over the years, Taotao has never mentioned his father again. But today, as Taotao asked her about it suddenly, she didn’t know how to answer him.
Xia Xiaoluo bit her lips. She thought that they would definitely meet Ling Tianyi when they came back to A City. It was really difficult to explain to Taotao at that time.
What’s more, Xia Xiaoluo wondered whether Taotao would have a younger half brother or half sister, or even more. Ling Tianyi would not care about Taotao. Taotao just belonged to herself.
The more Xia Xiaoluo thought about it, the sadder she was. She couldn’t control her tears.
“Mommy, if you don’t want to answer my question, I won’t ask you again. Don’t cry, Mommy. I won’t ask again. I won’t ask again. Mommy don’t cry!” Taotao put the tablet computer aside, and wiped the tears on Xia Xiaoluo’s cheeks with his small hands hurriedly.
“My dear son, I won’t cry. I am sorry for you. I…” Xia Xiao carried Taotao in her arms.
“Mommy, I don’t want daddy anymore. I have grown up. I am a man and I will protect Mommy.” Taotao kissed Xia Xiaoluo.
“Taotao is so lovely!” Xia Xiaoluo also kissed Taotao, but she felt down in her heart.
The next day, Ouyang Ziqian came back home with fatigue. Xia Xiaoluo looked at Ouyang Ziqian. He was more mature than before. Looking at his expression, he was also more cheerful. It seemed that this time, he has put down everything, and he could start a new life.
“Cousin Xiaoluo, how are you these years?” Ouyang Ziqian greeted Xia Xiaoluo enthusiastically.
“Well, cousin. It’s glad to see you. Welcome home!” Xia Xiaoluo said.
They embraced each other just as relatives. Ouyang Ziqian finally called Xia Xiaoluo cousin. It seemed that he has put down his love.
Ouyang Feng was also happy to see his grandson’s situation. Feng Manni just pulled Ouyang Ziqian, crying all the time. It was really a mixture of feelings that she couldn’t contact with her own son for so many years.
“Come on. Don’t cry. Our son has come back!” Ouyang Mingyu said. Although he was excited too, he would not behave like Feng Manni.
“Yes! Mom, I’m back. I won’t leave this time. I’ll stay with you all the time and help my father with the business. You should be happy! Don’t cry, or I’ll leave again.” Ouyang Ziqian said to Feng Manni half-jokingly. He would not leave anymore.
“OK! OK! I won’t cry. Don’t leave me anymore. I miss you crazily.” Feng Manni finally felt relaxed and she was really happy.
“Taotao, Taotao.” Ouyang Ziqian saw a four-and-a-half-year-old boy. He carried Taotao in his arms immediately.
“Taotao, do you miss me?” Ouyang Ziqian liked this handsome boy very much.
“Yes. I miss you every day.” Taotao bagan to flatter Ouyang Ziqian. Xia Xiaoluo rolled her eyes. Taotao was really a smart boy.
“I also miss you, I miss you every day. Come on. Let me kiss you.” Ouyang Ziqian kissed on Taotao’s little face, “Taotao is so lovely. I bought many gifts for you. Are you happy?”
“It depends whether I like the gifts or not.” Taotao replied.
“Clever guy.” Ouyang Feng said with a smile. And the whole family laughed.
Several servants brought Ouyang Ziqian’s luggage in. “Leave this blue case here, and take the rest into my room.”
“Taotao, look at this big box. It’s all the gifts for you!” Ouyang Ziqian said.
“Uncle, it’s very kind of you. I love you!” Taotao held Ouyang Ziqian’s neck and kissed on Ouyang Ziqian’s cheek. He thought that there must be something he liked in this big box.
Transformers, Altman, electric cars, airplane models, the latest tablet computer, children’s camera, storybooks, baseball caps, little suit and so on…
Looking at so many gifts, Taotao was filled with joy. What he liked most was the latest models of the tablet computer. He could play games again.
Taotao held the tablet computer all the time. Xia Xiaoluo said anxiously, “My cousin! You can buy anything, but don’t buy the tablet computer for him. He will play with it all night. I’m worried about his eyesight!”
Ouyang Ziqian shrugged his shoulders and said to Taotao, “Taotao, does Mommy tell you how long you can play the computer every day?”
“Yes!” Taotao pouted. He was unhappy to mention it.
“How long is that? Tell me, OK?” Ouyang Ziqian asked.
“Half an hour in the morning, half an hour in the afternoon and half an hour in the evening.” Taotao said with depression, because it could not meet his needs at all.
“I can help you. You can play it for an hour in the afternoon. In the morning and in the evening, it’s still half an hour. Is that good?” Ouyang Ziqian said. He also understood that the children liked to play with the electronic products, but they really couldn’t play with it for a long time.
“OK!” Taotao thought that it was good to add half an hour.
‘How about it? My cousin, could you do me a favor?” Ouyang Ziqian asked. Taotao looked at Xia Xiaoluo with expectation
“Well, I can’t disagree. As if I’m a vicious Mommy. I did it all for Taotao’s benefit.” Xia Xiaoluo said helplessly.
“Mommy is the best. I love Mommy best.” Taotao said at once, he was a good talker.
“What about me? I bought so many gifts for you. Am I the best person?” Ouyang Ziqian teased Taotao deliberately.
“You are also the best. Everyone is good. Mommy is good. Uncle is good. Granduncle is good. Great-grandpa is good. Everyone is good.” Taotao was very happy.
Nobody noticed that Taotao didn’t mention Feng Manni. Feng Manni was angry, but she didn’t want to pay much attention to it. Anyway, she would drive Taotao and Xia Xiaoluo away soon.
Ouyang Ziqian went back to the room to clean up. He took out all the gifts for his family. Xia Xiaoluo liked the European tableware that Ouyang Ziqian sent her. She liked to study the dishes. The best dishes should match the most suitable tableware. Ouyang Ziqian knew her preferences very much. She liked the gifts.
The whole family had dinner together and enjoyed themselves.
“Why? Xiaoluo, will Grandpa accompany you to A City? Have you thought about it clearly?” Ouyang Ziqian asked.
“Well, my chain restaurant is only famous in Europe now. I want to develop it in the Asian market and I will start from Celestial Empire. I choose A City as my start, because I am familiar with it. If it goes well, I want to open a restaurant near Dwichen’s College first. If you want to go back to Celestial Empire, you must come to support me.” Xia Xiaoluo said.
“That’s necessary. I’ll eat in the World of Luoluo here tomorrow!” Ouyang Ziqian said with a smile.
“If you come to my restaurant, I will cook for you by myself. And I will give you a fifty percent discount!” Xia Xiaoluo said.
“Ah? Just fifty percent discount? Can’t I have it free of charge? You are too stingy!” Ouyang Ziqian said half-jokingly.
“My mommy is the stingiest person.” Taotao added. “She always forbids me to eat many kinds of food.”
“It’s for your health. You can’t eat eight ice cream every day as you want.” Xia Xiaoluo shook her head and said to Ouyang Ziqian, “I’m joking with you. It must be free of charge. Please give me some advice then.”
“Uncle, the ice cream in Mommy’s restaurant is great!” Taotao looked at Ouyang Ziqian.
“Well. I will order an ice cream tomorrow.” Ouyang Ziqian said, looking at the disappointing look of Taotao, he added, “For Taotao!”
‘Well, it’s good. You are worthy to be taught!” Taotao stood on the bench and patted Ouyang Ziqian’s shoulders.
All people in the room laughed. This was what Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Mingyu liked to say to Taotao. It was used by Taotao now.
At this time, the servant reported that the family lawyer came, he seemed to have an important thing. Ouyang Mingyu asked the lawyer to come here. The dinner almost finished. Xia Xiaoluo continued to play with Taotao. She did not know that she was going to have a big trouble later.
