Chapter 148: Dad Finally Approves (1/2)

Zhao Qingfeng had always refrained from telling Shen Lingyao about any business matters.

Besides worrying about her being concerned, he didn’t want to ‘pollute’ her with the trivial matters and complexities of society.

In Zhao Qingfeng’s heart, she was like a lotus.

Pure and straight, without sprawl or branch, her fragrance carried far, standing clean and upright, unwilling to let her be touched by even a speck of the ‘mud’ unrelated to youth.

He would handle the business matters himself.

She just needed to enjoy her youth.

After sharing his thoughts with Shen Kuo, who pondered briefly and agreed.

Zhao Qingfeng still had university ahead, and being known as a big boss in university might bring unnecessary trouble.

“Let it be natural.”

Shen Kuo gave an answer that resonated deeply with Zhao Qingfeng, “If she asks, you tell her. If not, let it be. It’s not too late to tell her when it can’t be hidden anymore.”

So, it was decided to proceed in that manner.

Zhao Qingfeng had always preferred to keep a low profile.

After discussing this matter, Shen Kuo fell silent.

He drank a few sips of tea, clasped his hands together, eyes fixed on his fingers, his thoughts drifting.

After a while.

He sighed deeply, looked up at Zhao Qingfeng with a furrowed brow, “Little Feng, do you know what I’m thinking? I’m thinking if your dad were still alive and knew about your great achievements today, he would be so happy that he’d drink a few bottles of liquor. He always loved strong drinks, always telling me the higher the degree, the more satisfying. It’s a pity he left us too soon…”

Zhao Qingfeng’s eyes turned red with these words.

Whenever he thought of his late father, he couldn’t help feeling sad.

He wished he could have a good chat with his father, but all that was now just a wisp of smoke.

Though his father was gone, his mother was still there, and he intended to give her all the goodness he could, a thousandfold, to comfort his father’s spirit in heaven.

Zhao Qingfeng wiped the corner of his eye, “Uncle Shen, my dad’s last wish hasn’t been fulfilled yet. He most hoped I would go to university, which is the most important thing I have to do next. And there’s something I want to tell you right now; everything I’ve done is just for Lingyao, mom, and you all.”

Zhao Qingfeng wanted to live his life for love, family, and friendship. Beyond that, everything else was fleeting.

Hearing these sincere words, Shen Kuo was both shocked and delighted.

He looked again.

Zhao Qingfeng was still that young boy.

But how could his words sound so mature, as if coming from a calm middle-aged man?

Shen Kuo’s expression changed, overwhelmed by a torrent of complex emotions.

He had a lot to say.

But in the end, he said nothing, simply standing up and giving Zhao Qingfeng a firm and full hug.

A thousand words.

All understood without being spoken.

Their relationship.

Underwent a profound change within this single day.

Just as they let go.

Shen Lingyao’s call came in.

Zhao Qingfeng was about to speak.

But Shen Kuo snatched the phone away, joyfully telling Shen Lingyao, “Lingyao, tell your mom that dad’s business succeeded! Ask her to buy some marinated food from Old Zhu’s at the Trade City later, the one Little Feng likes. Then prepare ten dishes, get three cases of chilled beer, invite Hongmei and Feng Biao over, tonight we’re going to drink properly!”

“Dad, what are you talking about, you saw Brother Qingfeng?”

“Yep, I’ve got it all figured out. Little Feng is a good kid, just like you said, very impressive and responsible. I approve of him!”

“Dad, Dad! Are you serious or just kidding?”

“When have I ever lied to you? Little Feng earned his money himself, he didn’t do anything wrong. We’ve just talked, if you don’t believe me, ask him.”

After speaking.

Shen Kuo passed the phone to Zhao Qingfeng.

“Brother Qingfeng, you really explained everything?”

“Of course, who do you think I am!”

“Hmph! Too bad, I wanted dad to give you a good beating, (*≧▽≦)!”

“Dream on, I’m now a money-making expert. Uncle Shen wouldn’t dare hit me. If you’re not nice to me, he’ll deal with you, ?乛?乛?!”

“(?￣?^￣??) Disgusting you!”
