Chapter 44: A Grown Daughter Cannot Be Retained

Tang Feng sent Su Xiaoli back home.

When they reached the downstairs, they happened to run into Su Gang returning from work.

“Uncle Su!” Tang Feng hurriedly greeted.

Seeing them laden with big and small bags, Su Gang asked, “Where have you two been?”

“We went out to buy some stuff. Uncle Su, it’s getting late, I’ll head home,” Tang Feng said, waved goodbye to him, and left.

“Xiaoli, what’s going on? Why do I feel Feng looked so nervous? What did you actually do?” Su Gang quickly inquired.

“Shopping! Tang Feng gave me a mobile phone and a laptop,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“Why did he suddenly give you so many things? Where did he get so much money?” Su Gang became anxious instantly.

“Let’s go home and sit down, I’ll explain it slowly!” Su Xiaoli headed upstairs.

Her steps were so light and cheerful.

Su Gang looked at her retreating back and couldn’t help shaking his head.

He knew very well that his precious daughter had completely fallen.

He quickened his pace and followed her.

Back home, Su Xiaoli put down the things she was carrying on the coffee table and sat down on the sofa.

“Xiaoli, tell me! What exactly happened?” Su Gang was somewhat impatient.

“It’s like this. The other night, Tang Feng went to the night market to sell grilled gluten. Someone took a fancy to the business and wanted to buy the grilled gluten recipe! After some consideration, Tang Feng decided to sell the recipe.”

“How much did he sell it for?”

“Twenty thousand yuan!”

“And he used this money to buy you the phone and computer?” Su Gang guessed.

“Yes!” Su Xiaoli nodded and said, “Not just for me, he also bought mobile phones for Uncle and Auntie, and some clothes as well.”

“This kid is quite filial. Old Tang’s couple didn’t raise this son for nothing!” Su Gang couldn’t help but express his admiration.

Su Xiaoli didn’t say anything, just chuckled.

Hearing her father speak so highly of the person she loved made her heart sweet as honey.

“Aren’t you going to accompany Feng to the stall tonight?” Su Gang asked with a smile.

“Ah! I almost forgot about that! I’m going to take a shower first, and then I’ll head to the night market to find him,” Su Xiaoli said, hurrying into the bathroom.

“Are you having dinner at home tonight?”

“No! You eat by yourself!”

Hearing this, Su Gang couldn’t help but shake his head, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.

As the old saying goes, a grown daughter cannot be retained!

He was very clear that all of his treasure’s thoughts were on Tang Feng!

By this time, Tang Feng had already returned home, humming a tune.

He placed the things he was carrying on the sofa.

Then he went to the garage to get busy.

No matter what, he was definitely going to set up his stall tonight.

Money or no money was irrelevant, mainly for the points.

For him, the utility of points was much more important than money.

Especially the thought of exchanging points for a Beauty Pill made him smile from ear to ear.

Once everything was ready, he headed to the night market.

Upon arrival, he found Su Xiaoli already waiting there.

He was visibly stunned.

He had never dreamed that Su Xiaoli would appear here!

“Xiaoli, didn’t you go home? What’s going on?” Tang Feng asked as he parked the car.

Su Xiaoli stepped forward to help unload the car, saying, “I just went upstairs not long ago, remembered you were setting up the stall tonight, and then hurried over.”

Tang Feng felt a warmth in his heart, looking at her affectionately, asked, “Have you had dinner?”

Su Xiaoli didn’t speak, just shook her head.

“You silly girl! What do you want to eat? I’ll go buy it for you,” Tang Feng offered.

“No need,” Su Xiaoli waved her hand, saying, “I’m not hungry right now, let’s focus on the business.”

Seeing her say this, Tang Feng didn’t insist any further.

“Here, take a seat!” Tang Feng said as he placed a stool in front of her.

“I can help!”

“No need! Just watch,” Tang Feng insisted.

Soon, Tang Feng was all set up.

Customers gradually came to buy.

“Eh? Isn’t this Tang Feng? What are you doing setting up a stall here?” A girl of about Tang Feng’s age, wearing black-rimmed glasses, approached to greet.

Tang Feng looked up and saw it was his high school classmate, Sun Qian.

“Just on holiday! It’s boring staying at home! Setting up a stall in the evening to earn some living expenses,” Tang Feng replied.

“What are you selling?” Sun Qian asked, looking at the grilled gluten on the grill.

“Grilled gluten! Here, have a taste!” Tang Feng handed over two skewers.

After a few bites, Sun Qian’s eyes lit up.

“It’s so delicious! Tang Feng, I didn’t expect you to have this skill!” Sun Qian was full of praise.

Tang Feng didn’t say anything, just chuckled.

Then, Su Xiaoli stood up.

Sun Qian was also her high school classmate; she couldn’t pretend not to see her.

“Su Xiaoli! What are you doing here?” Sun Qian was very surprised.

“I came to help,” Su Xiaoli replied gracefully.

Sun Qian looked at them, her eyes filled with envy.

A perfect match, a golden boy and a jade girl, only such idioms could describe them.

After chatting for a bit, Sun Qian left.

“It won’t be long before our classmates find out I’m setting up a stall at the night market,” Tang Feng said with a wry smile.

“Are you worried about others finding out?” Su Xiaoli asked with a smile.

“Not worried,” Tang Feng shook his head, “Anyway, I won’t be setting up a stall in the future. Even if they come looking for me, they won’t find me.”

“You!” Su Xiaoli glanced at him and shook her head.

Tang Feng chuckled.

By nine o’clock, all the grilled gluten was sold out.

At this time, Tang Feng’s parents arrived.

Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli hurriedly greeted them.

“Are you closing up?” Tang Long looked at the tricycle and asked with a smile.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, “I prepared less tonight.”

“In that case, you take Xiaoli home. Leave this to me and your mom,” Tang Long decided.

Su Xiaoli said goodbye to them and then left with Tang Feng.

Along the way, Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli talked and laughed, enjoying a very happy conversation.

Upon reaching the destination, Tang Feng said goodbye to Su Xiaoli.

He waited until Su Xiaoli entered the building before reluctantly leaving.

When he got home, Tang Long was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and his mother was boiling water in the kitchen.

He hurried into his bedroom, took out the big and small packages he had bought during the day, and placed them on the living room coffee table.

“What did you buy?” Tang Long’s face was filled with surprise.

“These are gifts I bought for you,”

Tang Feng responded while taking the items out of the bags.
