Chapter 451: Seeing Chen Yanshi Again
"How about I give you money every time I come over from now on?" Hou Liangping said, annoyed.
"Okay."
This way, even if Hou Liangping's later claim that he got her pregnant was fake, she wouldn't be at a loss.
For the following week, Hou Liangping spent almost every night at the hair salon; it wasn't until three days before he was to visit Liang Lu that he began to conserve his energy.
Hou Liangping was afraid that when it came time to "submit his homework," Liang Lu would be dissatisfied and say he had been fooling around at home.
Thanks to his daily exercise, his youth, and the nourishment of the Tiger Bone Wine, his body was still in great shape, and resting for two days was more than enough to handle Liang Lu.
Hou Liangping also took the time to go home and tell his parents his thoughts.
"You child, I shouldn't have agreed to it back then. That Liang Lu is so much older than you, and now she's acting up and won't have children with you. She—she couldn't be infertile, could she?"
"That shouldn't be it. Teacher Liang really cherishes her figure, and she is indeed considered an older mother. Can you just say what I told you to?"
"That's fine, but is that woman trustworthy?"
Hou's father was also a ruthless character; this way, he could not only use the Liang Family's influence to develop himself but also have his own biological grandson, killing two birds with one stone.
"She's just an ignorant country woman; I've already worked it out with her."
Hou Liangping did not say that he and the "Big Wave" met at a hair salon, but instead claimed she was a girl he met while going to the countryside to promote legal awareness.
"Alright then, you handle it. Your mother and I will raise the child when the time comes. We'll just say we don't want to, and if we're going to adopt, we'll adopt it ourselves."
"Mm, good."
Two days later, Hou Liangping brought three days of accumulated energy and fought three hundred rounds with Liang Lu before she was satisfied and let him leave.
"Sure enough, being able to handle a thirty-six-year-old woman also means I can handle two eighteen-year-old girls."
The "Big Wave" at the hair salon was only twenty-one this year; although she knew how to serve a man, she was usually no match for the buffed-up Hou Liangping.
Hou Liangping spent two months this way; apart from the twelve days he gave to Liang Lu, he spent most of the remaining time with the "Big Wave."
The "Big Wave" did not let Hou Liangping's hopes down, and her belly finally showed signs of movement, which made Hou Liangping overjoyed.
"I've rented a place for you in Yantai. My parents will take care of you then. By the way, there's ten thousand yuan here; find some time to go deposit it yourself."
Hou Liangping was a man of his word and placed a stack of bills directly in front of the "Big Wave." The "Big Wave" was stunned; she had never seen so much money all at once.
"You're giving this to me?"
"Otherwise? We agreed on this, you can't go back on your word."
"No, no."
The "Big Wave" hurriedly took the ten thousand yuan, counted it, and giggled foolishly again.
Hou Liangping felt a slight stir in his heart. After two months of deep interaction, the two had developed some feelings. Now, looking at such a satisfied, silly girl, Hou Liangping was actually somewhat moved.
"Keep this money safe. I don't know how things are with your family, but even if you give them some, don't give them too much at once."
"Not only will your family start thinking things, but it's also not good for you."
"Mm, I understand."
The "Big Wave" looked at Hou Liangping in surprise, not expecting him to be looking out for her.
"Little brother, you haven't fallen in love with your big sister, have you?"
Hou Liangping's face darkened, and he was about to pull out his ID, but remembering that the "Big Wave" was already pregnant, he suppressed his anger.
However, the "Big Wave" familiarly tied up her hair and silently knelt down.
"..."
"Hiss~"
"Liangping, what have you been busy with lately? You disappear as soon as you get off work. Teacher Liang has gone back to rest for the pregnancy; you can't be messing around!"
"Cough, cough, what are you thinking? I exercise every day. Besides, what is the nature of our work? Could I possibly break the law while knowing it?"
"That's true, but I always feel like you're acting weird, kid. You seem much more confident?"
Chen Hai was indeed Hou Liangping's good brother; he could detect even the slightest change in Hou Liangping.
Hou Liangping had long been suppressed by Liang Lu; let alone confidence, he had lost even his dignity.
But after spending more than two months with the "Big Wave," he had not only regained his dignity as a man but was also satisfied as never before, so he naturally became increasingly confident.
"You've got a sharp eye, kid. You also know Teacher Liang went back to her hometown to rest for the pregnancy. I have such an overbearing wife, and now that she's gone back, of course I'm confident."
In front of his good brother, Hou Liangping didn't hide much; besides, being suppressed by Liang Lu was not a secret anyway.
"Sigh, that's true. Looks like I need to find a gentle partner."
Chen Hai was also quite emotional. Hou Liangping was once the brightest star at Handa University, aside from Qi Tongwei.
It was a pity that ever since he got with Teacher Liang, this star had fallen rapidly. Now that he finally had some of his former style back, he was sincerely happy for his good brother.
"Alright, let's not talk about this. We haven't gotten together in a long time. Shall we have a drink tonight?"
"Sure."
Hou Liangping had already sent the "Big Wave" to Yantai City. With his parents taking care of her, he was at ease. Just like with Liang Lu, he only needed to go visit every ten days or half a month.
Time flew to the end of the year. Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang walked out of Jingzhou Airport hand in hand, and Chen Hai, who had come to pick them up, was happy to see this.
"Sister, Senior Qi, you two..."
"What? Is Junior Chen Hai unhappy to see your senior?"
"No, no. Are you two back together?"
"Yes." Chen Hai still didn't know that the two had never actually broken up.
"Great, great. Senior Qi, tell me about your transfer to Sijiucheng."
Although Chen Hai knew the result, he didn't know the details, and naturally wanted to gossip a bit when he met Qi Tongwei.
"Sure, let's talk about it when we get to your place."
"Ah? You're still going?"
Qi Tongwei's face darkened upon hearing this; he didn't know whether to call his brother-in-law tactless or simply oblivious, as he always brought up the one thing that shouldn't be mentioned.
"Oh, oh, let's go, let's go."
Seeing that both of them were looking at him with unfriendly eyes, Chen Hai realized he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly carried the luggage to walk in front.
Qi Tongwei arrived at the family residential compound once again; many people still remembered Qi Tongwei, and back then, quite a few had favored them, but unfortunately, they had been driven away by Chen Yanshi.
Today, one by one, they were like cats that had smelled fish, following Qi Tongwei from a distance all the way to the entrance of the Chen family home.
"Mom, Dad, my sister and Senior Qi are here."
Wang Fuzhen felt a surge of joy in her heart, and seeing that Chen Yanshi's expression remained as usual, she went to open the door with a face full of smiles.
"Yangyang, Tongwei, you're back. Come in quickly. Chen Hai, bring the things inside."
"Alright, Auntie."
"..." Chen Hai.
Chen Yanshi sat on the living room sofa, motionless, as if he were watching the news with total concentration.
"Uncle, Happy New Year. I've come to visit you both."
Qi Tongwei also took a deep breath; even though he had prepared himself thoroughly, looking at Chen Yanshi's stern, aged face, he still had to take several deep breaths before he could speak calmly.
Chen Yang stood by his side, clutching Qi Tongwei's arm tightly; if her father said no again, she would decisively go to Yantai with Qi Tongwei.
"You've arrived? Sit down."
"Dad?"
"Hmm."
As for his daughter not coming home much in the two years she had been working, how could Chen Yanshi not know that his daughter was pitting herself against him?
"Sit down, all of you, and tell me about your work." Chen Yanshi appeared to be asking Chen Yang, but he was more concerned about Qi Tongwei's work.
"Dad..."
"Uncle..."
Qi Tongwei did not hide anything and said everything he could about his work; Chen Yanshi's expression was complex, and he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.
"Dad, Tongwei and I are married."
"Hmm, it's good to get married early. Hmm? You're married? When?"
