It’s Time For Us to Go Back
“Jingxing, I’ll leave my precious daughter to you. You have to help me take good care of her!
Don’t let her suffer. She’s my darling!
Liuli was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in, but she was also touched by her father’s words.
In the past, she was actually the closest to her father. She always liked to pester her father to bring her out to buy things.
Because no matter what she wanted, as long as her father could give it to her, he wouldn’t refuse.
Her mother also said that she had been spoiled by her father.
Later on, when her family became rich, she became distanced from her father.
On the one hand, it was because her father was getting busier. On the other hand, she really wasn’t used to her father using money to solve problems.
Now that she heard her father and Uncle Tang’s sincere words, she felt distressed.
She couldn’t help but tug at her father.
“Dad, it’s a little late, so we should go back now. I’m going to the washroom now. Let’s go back afterwards!”
When she came out of the washroom, her father actually left already.
“Brother Moxi, where’s my father?” Liuli looked around the hall and asked in confusion when she didn’t see her father.
“I just asked the driver to send him back,” Tang Moxi replied as he turned to look at her.
“Huh? Then how will I go back?” Liuli’s eyes widened.
She knew that her father had drunk too much at night.
Moreover, whenever he drank too much, he became a lot more talkative.
Just now, he held Tang Moxi’s hand as he blabbered on and on.
Before she went to the washroom, she specifically told her father that they would go back after she went to the washroom.
When she came out of the washroom, her father actually left already.
One second, he said that she was his darling, but the next second, he abandoned her!
Liuli turned to look at Tang Moxi.
“Brother Moxi, since you’re drunk, you can’t drive yourself!”
Moreover, the Tang family’s driver had just driven her father back, so no one could help drive now.
Although she didn’t drink, she didn’t know how to drive!
Just as Liuli was at a loss, she heard Tang Moxi say,
“Then walk with me. When I’m more sober, I’ll drive you back!”
“Huh?” Liuli immediately looked at Tang Moxi in shock.
In that case, they would have to walk until dawn.
Tang Moxi, on the other hand, seemed to be in a good mood as he held her hand and walked out of the restaurant.
Liuli protested,
“Brother Moxi, let’s wait for the driver to pick us up!”
Tang Moxi said calmly,
“Liuli, the moonlight is very beautiful today!”
“Yes, it looks like a mooncake!” Liuli looked up and replied.
As soon as she finished speaking, Liuli regretted it.
“Liuli, you didn’t eat enough tonight?!” Tang Moxi lowered his head and smiled at her.
“No, no. I’m very full.” Liuli quickly shook her head.
“I’m not full yet, so accompany me to eat something!” With that, Tang Moxi walked forward.
Liuli thought about how Uncle Tang had been drinking for most of the night and didn’t eat much.
Therefore, she didn’t refuse and followed Uncle Tang forward.
However, she kept thinking of Tang Moxi biting her neck behind the potted plant.
No, he bit her ear while saying things to her.
She still couldn’t figure it out!
“What do you want to eat? Liuli!” Tang Moxi turned around and asked Liuli.
After Liuli came back to her senses, she quickly replied, “I’m fine with anything!”
The next second, she remembered that Tang Moxi had drunk a lot that night, so she said,
“Brother Moxi, you’ve drunk so much, so you should eat something light!
I wonder if there’s anyone selling porridge now!”
“Let’s look around. There will be someone selling porridge!”
Thus, late at night in the winter, the two of them took a walk after the engagement party while looking for a restaurant that sold porridge.
In the end, they actually found a porridge shop that specialized in selling porridge.
Liuli seemed a little excited. As she looked at the porridge menu carved on the wood, she picked out the porridge she wanted to eat.
“I want wolfberry beef porridge. Brother Moxi, what do you want to eat?” After choosing her own, Liuli turned to Uncle Tang and asked.
“Lean meat porridge is fine!”
Therefore, Liuli ordered wolfberry beef, vegetable lean meat porridge, and two side dishes. Then, she took out her wallet from her bag.
Tang Moxi had just taken out his wallet and was about to pay when he saw that Liuli had already paid.
However, he didn’t stop her and calmly put away his wallet.
There seemed to be a saying that before marriage, the man paid for dates, and after marriage, the wife paid!
Therefore, it was Liuli’s turn to pay now!
For the first time, Tang Moxi felt that it wasn’t bad to let a woman pay for the meal!
After paying, the two of them found a corner seat and sat down.
At this time, there were very few people in the porridge shop, so there were many seats.
They could sit wherever they wanted!
“Brother Moxi, do you feel uncomfortable after drinking so much tonight?” Liuli asked Tang Moxi carefully.
“Do you want to try?” Tang Moxi asked.
“I can’t. I can’t hold my liquor!” Liuli immediately shook her head.
“I can’t hold my liquor either!” Tang Moxi replied.
“Uncle, you’re lying to me. You can drink so much without getting drunk, yet you say you can’t hold your liquor!” Liuli immediately asked with a smile and a look of disbelief.
At night, Uncle Tang drank red wine like it was just water.
Moreover, he drunk it all without diluting it.
If this was called not being able to hold his liquor, she would be too embarrassed to say that she could even drink at all!
“The engagement banquet is mainly for the bride’s guests.
“Even if I can’t drink it, I have to in order to show my fiancée’s family respect!” Tang Moxi replied calmly.
It was as if he was just talking about something very ordinary.
Liuli looked at Tang Moxi in surprise. She didn’t expect this to be the truth.
“Then don’t drink too much when we get married. Your health is more important.” After a while, Liuli retracted her gaze and instructed gently. She couldn’t help but feel touched.
“I only get this chance once in my life, so I have to seize it. I’ll pay more attention in the future,” Tang Moxi replied.
At this moment, the waiter served the dishes.
“Let’s eat first!” Tang Moxi said.
“Oh!” Liuli replied. Then, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
She had just said that she wasn’t hungry, but when the delicacies were served, she ate even more than Tang Moxi did.
The wolfberry beef porridge was also served.
The warm steam gave off a cozy feeling.
Liuli felt that eating a steaming and delicious porridge on such a cold winter day was also a form of enjoyment!
Her porridge was served first.
Liuli didn’t start eating directly this time. Instead, she took a small bowl and scooped a bowl for Tang Moxi.
“Eat this first. When the lean meat porridge is sent over later, eat the lean meat porridge!” After Liuli scooped the porridge, she placed it in front of Tang Moxi.
Tang Moxi looked at Liuli, but didn’t say anything.
Liuli was a little puzzled by Tang Moxi’s gaze. After a while, she realized it.
“Brother Moxi, do you dislike beef?”
“No, it��s just been a long time since I felt this way,” Tang Moxi replied as he picked up the spoon and prepared to eat porridge.
“Felt what way?” Liuli couldn’t help but ask.
“The feeling of being taken care of,” Tang Moxi replied as he looked up at Liuli.
Liuli was stunned for a moment before she blushed.
She had done so out of instinct just now and didn’t think too much about it!
Liuli scooped a bowl for herself and ate with her head lowered.
To think about it, Uncle Tang was actually quite pitiful. His parents had passed away a long time ago, leaving only his grandfather and two sisters.
Now, his grandpa was seriously ill and might not be able to last much longer.
It was understandable why Uncle Tang had agreed to this marriage.
Just as he had said, as long as his grandfather liked it, nothing was more important than making his grandfather happy and living a little longer.
The lean meat porridge was finally served. The waiter placed the porridge in front of Tang Moxi.
Liuli was about to remind the waiter to place the porridge by the side.
When she looked up, she saw the waiter staring at Uncle Tang with infatuation without even blinking.
Only then did the waiter realize that she had brought the porridge directly to Uncle Tang and might have scalded the customer.
“Please put the porridge here. This way, it’s easier for me to scoop it!” Liuli replied with a smile.
“Oh, okay!” The waiter suddenly came back to her senses and quickly put the bowl to the side. Then, she said awkwardly, “Everything has been served. Please enjoy.”
“Thank you!” Liuli smiled at the waiter and replied.
When the waiter met Liuli’s gaze, she smiled before leaving.
Only then did Liuli retract her gaze and continue eating her porridge.
As she ate, she thought about how Uncle Tang was so handsome that he would definitely attract even more women in the future!
Wouldn’t she have to deal with mistresses every day?
After a while, Liuli felt that she was overthinking things.
Perhaps she and Uncle Tang would have already divorced before any mistresses appeared!
At that time, as an ex-wife, she had no right to restrict her ex-husband’s freedom and prevent him from seducing beauties.
“Liuli…”
“Huh?” Liuli came back to her senses and looked at Tang Moxi.
