Chapter 457: Chapter 431: Past Sweetness Renewed (Thank you Water Feather Qing for the 10+ reward)

Xiao Qian felt more and more like she’s at a loss.

She treated Da Yi, thinking she could take on an apprentice, but now he has become her prospective second sister-in-law. She treated Shi Touyu and went on a two-day trip to the mountains, and even lost a juicer in the process. Although the juicer was her own fault, she didn’t charge Jingjing or Zheng Xu for their treatments, nor did she charge Lily Tang. Instead, she gained a godfather. Tang Daye’s surgery was successful, and he insisted on taking Xiao Qian as his goddaughter.

If these few cases were from her previous life, she would have earned two houses by now. But now she has nothing, and her heart aches!

“What do you need so much money for when I’m already yours?” He lowered his head and leaned his nose against hers, their foreheads touching.

“Money doesn’t weigh you down. How much could I get by selling you?”

Xiao Qian’s words not only didn’t upset Yu Minglang, but made him laugh, “Haha, it’s okay if I can’t make money, as long as my wife can. Why don’t you sell your stocks and get me a Slam Dunk edition?”

Yu Minglang always wanted to experience the feeling of asking a girlfriend for pocket money.

“How many comics do you have already? Why do you keep buying more?” Xiao Qian was curious to know what it feels like to be a woman managing a man, so they played a role reversal game.

Both Xiao Qian and Yu Minglang lacked experience in love. Xiao Qian had Contact Phobia, and Yu Minglang had psychological issues. They didn’t quite understand what other couples should do together. They just saw other men talking to their wives like this and wanted to experience it.

“The previous set I bought was not good; it was pirated and the printing quality was poor. I still want to buy more.”

“You wasteful Old master!” Xiao Qian glanced at him with a playful expression, but they couldn’t keep it up.

This style of conversation didn’t suit either of them. Once Xiao Qian spoke, Yu Minglang started laughing. Xiao Mei’s poor acting skills wouldn’t get her a single penny.

“Forget it, I’d rather be myself. It’s no use trying to be someone else. If you see something you like, just let me know, and I’ll get you a signed full set from overseas. Tell me the style, and I’ll bring back a few more sets. We’ll buy them all at once to save the hassle.”

Being frugal and saving money was never Xiao Qian’s character. Living life to the fullest and taking things to the extreme was what she was all about. Her employees were sure that following Boss Qian would give them a piece of the pie. There was no reason for her man to be treated unfairly.

“Hehe, my wife is the best.” Yu Minglang was satisfied and kissed her little face again.

Professor Liu and Uncle Liu were having a conversation, so it wasn’t appropriate for them to go upstairs at the moment. They decided to stay outside a little longer, enjoying their warm moments together.

However, Uncle Liu didn’t seize the opportunity that Yu Minglang created for him to talk. He had been standing by the window, facing away from Professor Liu in the bed for over ten minutes, looking at Yu Minglang holding Xiao Qian in the flower bed and feeling envious of their youth.

“Old Liu, what exactly did you come to talk to me about?” Professor Liu was annoyed by Uncle Liu’s silence and decided to break it.

“Do you remember the first time we went to see a movie together?” Uncle Liu looked down at the couple in the flower bed and reminisced.

Professor Liu was stunned. They hadn’t had a normal conversation in a long time due to their constant quarreling.

“Was it the year City Cinema was established?” She couldn’t remember clearly.

Uncle Liu shook his head, “No, it was right after you graduated. I took you on my bicycle to see an open-air movie in a faraway place.”

Having a bicycle in those days was quite an accomplishment. When Uncle Liu mentioned it, she remembered.

“I remember now! You made me fall, and my arm got scraped.”

She would never forget this; the man was so bad when they were young.

“I came to see you as soon as I got the bicycle but wasn’t very skilled.”

But that fall brought them closer, and he carried her back home. After that, she married him.

“You weren’t very skilled afterward either.”

“How was I not skilled? It was all because of your mischief!”

Once they said these words, they both felt a little awkward, thinking about their past.

At that time, Professor Liu had just been assigned to work at the university. When she finished class late, if he had time, he would come to pick her up on his bicycle.

Professor Liu suddenly remembered the soft flesh on Uncle Liu’s belly. When Uncle Liu was young, he was as handsome and agile as Yu Minglang. However, for some reason, he could never develop solid abs. Although not fat, when he was riding on the bicycle, she could pinch his small belly.

Professor Liu wasn’t always like the stern Madam Kill-All she is now. She was occasionally playful when not in public, and she especially loved to pinch. She would seize the opportunity and pinch his belly, and then he would ride crookedly with her on the bike.

These memories didn’t seem that remarkable at the time, but now that they have experienced so many ups and downs together, the memories come back to haunt them with a bittersweet taste that lingers.

They never thought their lives would turn out like this after such a great start.

Both of them were lost in their memories, and the room was silent. Uncle Liu looked down at the ground, and the couple in the flower bed had already moved to a new spot. He guessed that Yu Minglang must have pulled Xiao Qian behind a tree to do something naughty.

“So you came here just to talk about this? Didn’t you say it was about Xiao Li’s education?” After crying with Xiao Qian, Professor Liu’s mood wasn’t as sharp as before. However, being in the same room with her ex-husband still made her feel a little uncomfortable.

“Well, as for Xiao Li, I’ve thought about it—”

Uncle Liu was a little nervous, but when he caught sight of people moving behind a certain tree downstairs, he saw that Yu Minglang had already pressed Xiao Qian against the tree and was kissing her.

What was wrong with him compared to the young people?!

Uncle Liu was inspired by Yu Minglang.

“Xiao Liu, we’ve already lost Xiao Shuang, and now Xiao Li is disobedient. It’s normal for you not to understand, but when children grow up, they have their opinions. If we as parents interfere too much, the kids will definitely rebel even more. At this age, they can easily learn bad habits if not guided properly.”

“So you came here to persuade me?” Professor Liu quickly came out of her memories, her voice becoming sharper.

“No, I want to let Xiao Li go with Minglang on the selection trip to gain some experience. He’ll understand what he really wants through the selection process. I will accompany the child throughout the journey. I am his father, and I was negligent when I should have educated him. I hope it’s not too late to make amends. I came to ask for your consent.”

“Did you think of this on your own?”

Like Xiao Qian, Professor Liu often used situational experiences to help people with psychological problems, and she understood how good this idea would be for her son.

But wasn’t this old man all about principles? When he arranged a job for their second son, he was already unhappy. Could it be that he had finally come to his senses this time?

“No, this was Minglang’s idea. He also asked me to—”
