Chapter 1324: You Are Someone I Can Proudly Show Off!
On Friday, Tang Ye returned to Hanzhou.
His father-in-law, Du Chengfeng, had already left to take up his post in Runzhou, accompanied by his mother-in-law, Xiao Qin.
Du Xi moved into Tang Yu's Dean villa.
Qin Lan had once held a position at Qinge and would go to the group headquarters every day to clock in, but she resigned from her job to take care of her granddaughter.
At first, Tang Ye worried that Qin Lan and Du Xi would have conflicts because they were living together.
However, at least for now, the two of them were getting along quite harmoniously.
Du Xi had officially started working, but every night, she was still in the habit of having An'an sleep with her.
Because she felt that this was the only way to keep her relationship with An'an intimate.
Tonight, Qin Lan took the initiative to carry An'an into her own room; the meaning was self-evident: to clear out space for her son and daughter-in-law to be alone.
From the villa, one could see the residential complex's artificial lake, and the melodious sound of a piano drifted into one's ears, blending together with the rustling of leaves and the murmurs of small insects.
Tang Ye rarely used the bathtub, but today he felt somewhat exhausted for some reason, so he filled it with water and climbed in to soak comfortably.
Just as he climbed in, there was movement outside the door.
"Honey, I bought you new underwear."
"Alright, just bring it right in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Xi walked in holding the underwear.
She had originally thought Tang Ye was just taking a quick shower, but seeing him soaking in the tub, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You certainly have a leisurely mood, even taking a bath!"
Tang Ye smiled and said, "Relaxing my body and clearing my head at the same time. Do you want to wash together?" Du Xi's cheeks turned red, and she said softly, "You just wait!"
Tang Ye hadn't expected Du Xi to agree, and then he thought, this was the adorable side of Du Xi.
To the outside world, Du Xi was a serious, calm, and decisive Police officer.
But in front of Tang Ye, Du Xi was always a gentle, considerate, and tender partner.
Not long after, Du Xi walked in, holding a bag in her hand; she shook it at Tang Ye and said with a smile, "You have to use this for a bubble bath."
Du Xi looked at the instructions for the bubble bath agent, then poured it into the tub.
Very quickly, it began to react, and Tang Ye was surrounded by bubbles.
Du Xi then took off her clothes and lay down inside, sighing, "Honey, my figure has lost its shape; does it look very ugly? Will you dislike me?"
Tang Ye shook his head, "How could that be? In my eyes, this only makes me love you more. You have sacrificed too much for An'an."
Du Xi was satisfied with Tang Ye's answer, "I'll knead your shoulders for you."
Tang Ye laughed, "Then that will be hard work for you."
Du Xi was afraid of hurting Tang Ye, so she didn't dare to use too much strength.
"Honey, if the pressure is too hard, tell me."
"Mm, it doesn't hurt. Hurry up and press."
"Why? Do you have something urgent?"
"I'll switch to massaging you in a bit. Love must be a two-way street, and massage must be a two-way massage as well."
Du Xi was amused and patted Tang Ye on the chest, "You, you have too many strange things in your head."
Du Xi only felt warmth surging in her heart; she leaned into Tang Ye's ear and whispered, "Kiss me. Honey."
Tang Ye felt Du Xi's lingering affection, "Mm, I'll kiss you. I want to kiss every inch of your body."
Tang Ye and Du Xi spent little time together and much time apart; he knew he owed Du Xi.
However, Du Xi also understood Tang Ye.
Tang Ye was working hard and struggling for the sake of their family.
After finishing the two-way massage, Tang Ye lay on the bed, holding his soft, boneless wife, "Tomorrow at noon, come to a dinner with me? I'm going to see an old colleague."
Du Xi said with a smile, "Why don't you go yourself? I'll stay at home and keep An'an company."
Tang Ye insisted, "Let's go together. First, they invited you, and second, I also want everyone to see my wife. You are someone I can proudly show off."
Du Xi smiled and kissed Tang Ye's neck, "I like that last sentence."
The next morning, Tang Ye and Du Xi arrived at Shizi Lou.
Shizi Lou was a famous old establishment in Hanzhou with high-level chefs; Tang Ye had entertained guests here several times.
The person entertaining him this time was Hu Yang.
That's right, it was that mama's boy, Hu Yang.
However, Hu Yang had changed quite a bit now; his physique was well-maintained, and he was wearing Korean-style casual clothes, looking like a completely different person.
Standing beside Hu Yang was a middle-aged woman; Tang Ye hadn't recognized her at first, not expecting Lin Ru to have changed so drastically.
Thinking about it carefully, Lin Ru was already nearly fifty years old, and the years spent in prison had changed both her temperament and her appearance.
Tang Ye took the initiative to step forward and shook hands with Hu Yang, "President Hu, hello."
Hu Yang said modestly, "Uncle Tang, just call me Little Hu."
Tang Ye turned to Lin Ru and opened his arms, "Old leader, long time no see."
Lin Ru hesitated for a few seconds before hugging Tang Ye's shoulders; although she told herself firmly inside not to cry and to keep smiling, tears still flowed uncontrollably from her eyes.
Her voice was hoarse, "I don't know why, but I just want to cry when I see you."
Tang Ye said softly, "These past few years haven't been easy for you. However, the storms have all passed. Hu Yang is doing very well now; you can be completely at ease."
Lin Ru wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at her son, who was full of concern beside her, sighing, "I really didn't expect that when I entrusted Hu Yang to you back then, you would really keep it in your heart. Hu Yang told me about all his experiences. You are the benefactor in his life; if it weren't for you, he definitely would have fallen into depravity and wouldn't have his current achievements."
Tang Ye patted Hu Yang's shoulder, "A prodigal who returns is worth more than gold. Hu Yang has a kind nature, and there is a resilience deep in his heart that only bursts forth when he encounters setbacks. Actually, from another perspective, the experiences of these past few years were not a bad thing. If it weren't for those difficulties, Hu Yang wouldn't have matured."
Lin Ru looked at Du Xi beside Tang Ye, a smile appearing on her face, "I'm sorry, it's been many years, and I lost control of my emotions; I've let you see a joke. Please, come inside!"
Du Xi gently held Tang Ye's arm.
Du Xi knew about the misfortune that had befallen Lin Ru.
Back then, when Lin Ru was investigated for suspected disciplinary violations, Hu Yang returned from abroad, was swindled out of his house, and was left with almost nothing.
Tang Ye arranged for Hu Yang to work at Qinge and cultivated Hu Yang into a successful professional Manager.
This was where Tang Ye's greatest charm lay; he could change the fates of those around him without a sound!
After they were seated, the waiter began to serve the dishes.
Hu Yang and Lin Ru picked up their wine glasses.
Hu Yang said with a smile, "Thank you for coming today."
Tang Ye and Du Xi also stood up, raising their glasses.
"Little Hu, don't be so polite in the future. If you want to have a meal, just cook at home. There's no need to make such a big fuss."
Looking back on the hardships of the past few years, Hu Yang felt a surge of emotions.
"All my gratitude is in this glass of wine! Truly, thank you."
He tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp!
