Chapter 148: Dad Finally Approves (2/2)

“Behave, prepare the food and drinks, we’re hosting a party tonight!”

“No!”

“Then I’ll tell Uncle Shen! o(｀?′oメ）”

After teasing each other, Shen Lingyao excitedly hung up the phone.

At this time, Ding Xiang was frowning at the TV, unable to concentrate.

Hearing that Old Shen’s business had succeeded, her heart immediately felt lighter.

Hearing further that Old Shen was very happy and even planning to drink with Zhao Qingfeng, she quickly put on her coat, joyfully saying, “Lingyao, this is a double celebration. Your dad’s business succeeded, and his attitude towards Little Feng has improved. Are you the happiest now?”

“Mom, don’t talk nonsense!”

Shen Lingyao’s face turned red with embarrassment.

“Alright, alright, I’m going to buy groceries from your Aunt Feng. Tonight, we’re going to have a good meal!”

Ding Xiang was overjoyed and went out to find Mom Feng.

After she left, Shen Lingyao stomped her foot excitedly, her face growing redder the more she thought about it, and happily ran back to her room. She hugged her teddy bear and kissed it several times, then sat at her desk, swinging her feet, and began writing in her diary with joy.

“July 2, 2001, Dad actually praised Brother Qingfeng!”

“It’s so rare, I’m so happy, lalala, my Brother Qingfeng is awesome!”

“Eh, but I can’t get too excited too soon.”

“Earning money is one thing, but the university entrance exam is another.”

“Although Brother Qingfeng earning money has gained Dad’s approval, I can’t let my guard down.”

“Brother Qingfeng!”

“You’ll accompany Dad for a drink tonight!”

“Starting tomorrow, if you dare not do your best in the final review for the university entrance exams, I’ll beat you up, you silly goof!”

“It would be so nice to go to university together.”

“I want to walk through the campus holding hands with you, and chat by the lake together.”

“I’m still waiting for your confession!”

“Dumb-dumb, my silly dumb-dumb, when will you confess to me?”

“Hmph, I won’t accept it so easily!”

“Okay…”

“As long as you say it earnestly, I’ll accept it seriously. Then we can go traveling together, sing songs to scarecrows in golden wheat fields, and wait for the evening breeze in quaint towns.”

“I want you to sing songs just for me, sing my favorite songs, and as we grow up, have a baby together, and take him to faraway places.”

“Alright.”

“Let’s leave it at that, the rest of the sweetness is up to you to imagine.”

“(*?′╰╯`?)”

After finishing her diary, Shen Lingyao’s face was flushed.

Her young heart was filled with beautiful imaginings of the future, unable to erase the image of Zhao Qingfeng from her mind.

She stood by the bed, looking out the window with longing eyes towards the direction of the provincial university.

After murmuring a few words, she turned to the ‘pitiful’ teddy bear on the bed, jumped on it, started playfully punching it a few times, then hugged it tenderly, pressing it against her face, and sweetly laughed out loud.

……………………….

At six in the evening.

Zhao Qingfeng accompanied Shen Kuo as they left the Shangri-La Hotel.

After saying goodbye to Li Jianjun, Wang Yang, and Old Zhang, Shen Kuo went back to the hotel to wash his face, planning to sober up before drinking a second round at home.

The luxury hotel.

He stood in front of the luxuriously decorated bathroom mirror, his face dripping with water, looking at his reflection and suddenly pointing at himself with a self-mocking smile, “Shen Kuo, Shen Kuo, what were you thinking before…”

After speaking.

He struggled to hide his overwhelming joy.

Then, regaining his composure, he walked out with head held high to find Zhao Qingfeng and head home.

“Little Feng, what are you looking at?”

Arriving at the parking lot, he found Zhao Qingfeng intently staring in a direction some ten meters away.

Following his gaze.

He saw a middle-aged man in his forties eagerly persuading a young man in his twenties, smiling broadly while stuffing something into his pocket.

“Little Peng, take this gift home to your mom, and have her say some good words for me to your dad, thank you!”
