The atmosphere in the living room instantly felt like frost.
Tang Feng knew that he couldn't be persuaded about this matter, and if he couldn't be persuaded, it would only make matters worse. So he left the table without anyone noticing.
A Yuan also pulled Shen Chulu away, leaving room for them to talk.
Shen Jing felt that his breath was stagnant in his chest. His trembling hand couldn't help but raise, trying to hold Tang Qiao'er's hand, but his fingertips curled up and stopped.
Qiao'er... I really don't want you to go.
He was shocked that he had never been a coward. He loved with great joy and hated with hysterics.
It's just that he not only owed Qiao'er, but also felt guilty towards Tang Wanting.
Whether it was the three years of painful marriage or Qiao'er's lost child... it was all his fault. It was him who made Tang Dong's heart and soul bruised and bruised. His sin is unforgivable.
Not to mention the direct insults, even if Tang Wanting beat him again, he would let him beat him until he was relieved.
"Lao Wan, what are you thinking about?"
Tang Qiaoer sneered and looked resolutely, "If I had listened to you, I wouldn't have run away from home at the risk of falling to pieces. I advise you to worry less about me."
During the years when I was away and wandering in a foreign country, I didn't see you digging all over the place to find me. Now, in order to destroy my happiness, you are really planning and doing everything you can to ruin my happiness."
Shen Jingjue pursed his lips and stepped forward, staring anxiously at the resolute profile of the little woman.
"Tang Qiao'er...you!"
Tang Wanting felt furious, his face turned pale, and his breath was unsteady, "Look at what you look like now! Are you still the daughter of our Tang family?!
You even went to the supermarket to buy groceries in person. Are you the one cooking these days?! You've been a free nanny for the Shen family for three years and haven't done enough? Is this the love you want? The life you want? !”
The more Lao Wan talked, the angrier he became!
The only daughter born to the woman he loves the most is just for pampering! How can he endure this humiliation and endure such suffering?!
Shen Jingjue doesn’t do any human affairs!
"Lao Wan, this is the life I have always wanted, the life of ordinary people."
Tang Qiaoer's heart was filled with a thousand emotions, and the tip of her nose was sour, "I don't think what I am suffering is bitter, because this is what I want. All I want is a house for two people, three meals and four seasons." "
Shen was shocked and felt that his thin lips were like snow, and his curled fingertips were clenched into regretful fists.
Three meals and four seasons, paper is short and love is long...
This is what Qiao'er has always wanted, but he... actually didn't give it to her until now.
"You have never experienced this, and you have never really understood me. Even you don't know what my mother wants.
So you are not qualified to measure my life and block my choices."
His daughter's words made Tang Wanting's heart burn with pain, and everything in front of him gradually became blurred.
"Also, these days, Jingxue cooks, cleans the house, and washes clothes for me. I just go shopping with him."
Tang Qiaoer's warm palms hugged the man's tight fists, intertwined with his fingers firmly, and clasped tightly, "My family is surprised that I can do everything except giving birth to children. Please, don't worry about me eating carrots.
Tonight, you can either stay and have a light meal to try Jingxue’s craftsmanship, or you can walk slowly.”

Because he still had something to explain to Tang Qiaoer, Tang Feng did not leave after avoiding it, but took a leisurely stroll in the villa.
He accidentally walked into a corridor and found that the walls were covered with paintings framed in exquisite copper frames.
There are beautiful scenes of early summer and lively dogs, but most of them are portraits of people.
Tang Feng couldn't help but stop in front of a one-meter-high painting——
The man in the painting wearing a black shirt, with a tall and tall figure, broad shoulders and narrow waist, and phoenix eyes as bright as gems, is none other than Huo Ruxi.
Tang Feng's eyes suddenly widened and he looked carefully. His good upbringing allowed him to restrain his urge to reach out and touch it.
"The painting is so good...as vivid as a photo."
"Really?"
Tang Feng's heart skipped a beat and he turned around suddenly.
Shen Chulu appeared behind her at some point, looking at him timidly with lowered eyebrows, holding a brown fluffy bear tightly in her arms.
That little look is so cute.
Tang Feng's eyes darkened slightly and he chuckled gently, "Of course, I am serious. Did you draw it?"
"Yeah." Shen Chulu nodded.
"It must have taken a lot of thought, a lot of emotion, and a lot of energy, right?"
"Well...it doesn't matter. The most important thing is that Brother Ruxi likes me."
Mentioning Huo Ruxi, Shen Chulu's clear eyes flashed with a sweet smile, and her face flushed, "Brother Ruxi is very good to me. I have nothing to give him... just give him a painting. He doesn't If you dislike it, I will be very happy."
Tang Feng's heart trembled deeply.
Over the years he has been a policeman, he has been exposed to the dark world every day and fought fiercely with countless vicious devils in society. He has not seen such pure and innocent eyes for a long time.
The girl in front of him was like a bright and dust-free moonlight, inadvertently illuminating a corner of his dull and dark heart.
"Officer Tang...?" Shen Chulu saw him staring straight at her, blinking his big eyes in confusion.
Tang Feng returned to his thoughts and raised the corners of his lips, "I remember at the third wife's birthday party last time, you called Qiaoqiao sister-in-law. Then there is no need to be an outsider. From now on, follow your sister-in-law and call me seventh brother."
"Seven...brother?" The little girl was also obedient and called her whatever she was told.
Tang Feng narrowed his sharp eyes and was about to speak when a cold voice came:
"Master Tang Qi, Miss Fourth is my young master's wife. It's not appropriate for you to be so close to our wife in private."
A Yuan stared at Tang Feng's face with a gloomy look, and walked quickly to Shen Chulu's side, showing a strong attitude of helping Huo Ruxi defend her sovereignty.
Tang Feng's face was calm, and he asked with a faint smile: "I don't know what I did inappropriately, making you feel like you are facing a powerful enemy.
Why, as Huo Ruxi's woman, she doesn't even have the right to communicate with others normally. Any man she talks to will die, right? Is he overly paranoid or too lacking in confidence?"
"you!"
A Yuan gritted her teeth, anger burning in her eyes!
If this man hadn't been Miss Tang's biological brother, she would have been fooled earlier!
"Sister A Yuan..." Shen Chulu hurriedly grabbed A Yuan's clothes and shook her head anxiously.
Although she has a clumsy mouth and looks silly, she understands many things about people and the world.
Officer Tang is my sister-in-law's biological brother. Because of this relationship, she talks to her more. She understands. If the friendship is hurt over such a trivial matter, my sister-in-law will be embarrassed if she finds out about it. That's really not good. .
Tang Feng glanced at Shen Chu's nervous expression, and finally raised a nonchalant smile, striding past A Yuan, "If it's his, no one can take it away. What's the use of protecting it like food?"
But your worries are simply unnecessary, after all, the children of the Tang family are all quality people."

Never imagined--
After a fierce argument with his daughter, Tang Wanting chose the latter between "walking slowly without seeing her off" or "staying for dinner".
As soon as the front leg turned red, the back leg had a meal on the table. Only people from the Tang family can do this kind of coquettish operation.
At this moment, Shen Jingjue was frightened.
Who knows cooking in front of his "father-in-law"? He has never been so panicked in his life, and his heart is stuck in his throat!
Tang Wanting sat majestically in the living room, which gave Shen Jingjue a sense of oppression no less than that of receiving an emperor's chariot in ancient times.
"Qiao'er... I can only cook a few home-cooked dishes, but I'm not very good at it."
Shen Jingjue stood stiffly in the kitchen, worried, "Your dad will vomit after eating it?"
"Pfft, it's not that exaggerated."
Tang Qiao'er couldn't help but laugh, put the apron around the man's neck, and went around behind him to tie it up for him, "But, my dad's mouth is so picky and naughty because he has been served by Aunt Rou all these years." Greedy again."
Shen Jingjue swallowed hard and took a deep breath.
"But don't be afraid, I'll be there to guide you. Just follow my instructions step by step, and you won't be far behind."
The man's peach blossom eyes were full of tenderness, his strong arms hugged the little woman into his chest, and he placed a passionate kiss on her forehead.
"As you command, my commander."
…
"Oops! The meat needs to be put in first, the order is wrong!"
"Ouch! Too much vinegar!"
"Oops! It's going to burn in the pot. Turn it over!"
The kitchen between the two people was noisy, creating the effect of chaos.
Tang Wanting was sitting in the living room with his eyes closed and concentrating. When he heard the sound, he couldn't help but slightly opened his eyes and looked towards the kitchen.
The kitchen on the first floor of the villa is open. Although it is some distance from the living room, he can still see the situation there from his angle.
I saw Shen Jingjue's handsome and generous figure running around in a hurry, with his daughter giving him advice and naughty bumps to him with her butt from time to time, causing him to lose his mind.
Not only did this boy not have any impatience, he looked directly at his girl and smiled from ear to ear.
Like a fool.
I don’t know what Qiaoqiao likes in him!
Although Tang Wanting's face was still full of resentment, his gradually softening gaze was fixed on the young couple, unable to pull it out.
He suddenly thought of a word - fireworks.
Isn't this kind of relaxed atmosphere and pure happiness what he has been pursuing so hard?
"Dr. Tang, look at the eldest lady, how happy she is smiling. You haven't seen her smile like this in a long time, right?" Secretary Qi stood aside, smiling like an uncle.
"Hmph, how could I have raised such an unsatisfactory love brain like her in my lifetime of fame? There will be times when she will cry!" Tang Wanting muttered angrily.
Secretary Qi persuaded with a smile: "If you are in love, just be in love. The eldest lady in our family is extremely talented and beautiful, and she doesn't want anything. She can't finish it even if she stands on the roof of the ks building and spreads all the hundreds of billions of wealth every day.
She wants to fall in love, so you might as well let her go. Not to mention who dares to neglect our Tang family, let’s talk about Mr. Shen’s character. If you take a closer look after being together for a long time, his appearance is worthy of his family background, and his work ability is not worthy. Said. The key is integrity and kindness. In fact, among young people, they are really outstanding."
Tang Wanting frowned and raised his eyes to look at him suspiciously, "Tsk, what's wrong with you today? Shen Jingjue recognizes you as his adoptive father? How come you still speak for him!"
Secretary Qi smiled helplessly, "I just discuss the matter and say whatever I see."
Tang Wanting withdrew his displeased gaze and sat there feeling inexplicably sulky.
"Dr. Tang, I know you chose to stay for dinner tonight because you miss the eldest lady, right?"
Secretary Qi leaned down and saw his sad eyes with a hint of loneliness, and couldn't help but feel distressed, "Miss, you are hiding something, you keep it in your heart. It took a long time for us to see each other, but you couldn't bear to say goodbye in a hurry."
So, the dignified boss shamelessly stayed.
"You are a person whose mouth is as tough as a diamond. If you can directly express your love for the eldest lady, what else can't be solved?"
Tang Wanting pursed his lips and lowered his eyebrows in silence.
After a while, he suddenly asked: "Old Qi, am I so bad at what I did?
I previously arranged for Qiaoqiao to be with the youngest son of the Xie family because she was still young and didn’t know the nature of marriage. Liking is far less important than suitability. Xie Jinhuan is better than Shen Jingjing in knowing how cold and hot he is, and he is better at coaxing than that boy. Qiao Qiao is happy. Qiao Qiao doesn't feel anything wrong with keeping such an elm head, but marriage is a matter of getting along day and night for decades. When the passion slowly wears away, the cruel side of marriage will emerge. By then, she can bear it. Can she live there? Can she not regret it?
I just want Qiaoqiao to be able to look at others and have another choice. Is there anything wrong?"
Secretary Qi listened patiently, pondered for a moment, and then said thoughtfully: "Parents love their children for far-reaching reasons. Your starting point is completely correct, but you have a sentence that I hold a different view. Do you think it is more important to like it than to suit it? , but I think suitability is far less important than character.
I don't have much contact with Fourth Young Master Xie, so I can't comment too much. But I will say one thing. This time he deliberately revealed the whereabouts of Miss Xie and Mr. Shen to you. You know the purpose for it.
Since he likes the eldest lady, he should compete with Mr. Shen openly. I think it is a bit disgraceful to use you to put pressure on Mr. Shen."
