Chapter 186 I Didn’t Go to the Wrong Room
4 month 10 day.

late at night.

Should I answer the phone?
The caller was from an unfamiliar number in Kyoto. It was undoubtedly my father-in-law, but he just didn't make a note.

"Don't think about anything else."

"Look at me..."

"..."

Staring at An Shiyao's dazed expression.

Su Ming chose to ignore it.

This is for the good of my father-in-law's physical and mental health. No one wants to know that their own cabbage is being eaten.

"beep."

Wait until you feel calm before calling back.

My father-in-law contacted me before and expressed his approval.

"who is that?"

"so late……"

"Don't make any noise, I'm thinking."

Call uncle?
No.

"Kyoto's number? Could it be... Xiaoxi?"

An Shiyao said coquettishly, "Can't you take a shower before playing? You're all sweaty and dirty."

"..."

The phone is on.

"dad."

Correct.

That's how it is. The father-in-law takes the initiative to build a closer relationship. As a future son-in-law, why don't you build a closer relationship in return?
Running towards each other is always the most romantic.

"……dad?"

An Shiyao was stunned. She turned sideways and looked carefully at the number displayed on Su Ming's phone.

"..."

The person on the other end of the phone spoke after a while, "Yaoyao is next to you?"

"Yes, she just got out of the shower."

"..."

Silence again.

"I will be at the Dongshi Airport at 11 o'clock tomorrow."

"You and Yaoyao should come to the airport together."

"Don't worry, Dad. I will definitely come early."

"..."

"Well, that's it. Young people, don't stay up late all the time. Go to bed early."

"I'll be asleep soon, Dad, you should go to bed early too."

"..."

The phone hangs up.

"call……"

Su Ming let out a long sigh. Then he looked at An Shiyao who was stunned beside him, "Don't you want to take a shower? Let's go."

"That was... my father?"

"Yes."

"He's coming to Winter Market?"

"Correct."

"You...did you just call him, Dad?"

"What a fuss. Although I've never met him and this was only the second time we called, I hit it off right away."

"What a hit it off at first sight! Why didn't you tell me?! Then why didn't you answer the phone just now...? Are you..."

"Sese."

"..."

“I thought it was Xiaoxi.”

"It's a bit of a double standard. If it's a sister, you don't have to answer it. But if it's a father, you have to answer it?"

"You just said I had just taken a shower. I didn't tell him...I'm living with you."

"I think Dad knows."

"…It was really just our second phone call, and you didn't meet behind my back?"

"I never lie."

"Then why are they so skilled?! And their parents..."

“They are all orphans.”

"..."

"..."

"sorry."

"But I did meet their relatives in advance."

"...Mr. Su Ming!"

4 month 11 day.

10: am.

Su Ming and An Shiyao both took leave and went to the airport in advance.

"I guess I'm nervous, right?"

"Why do you feel more nervous than me?"

"Actually...after my relationship with my father eased, I haven't really talked to him normally."

"is it?"

Su Ming thought about it.

I remember An Shiyao did say before that her relationship with her father was not very good.

Ok?
The bad reason...

"My mother had just passed away less than two months ago, and he immediately brought the woman from outside home. She is Xiaoxi's mother."

From your own standpoint, it is best not to make any comments.

4 month 11 day.

11 points.

He picked up his father-in-law. Unlike what Su Ming expected, he did not bring any other people with him.

Just him.

She was wearing a mid-length grey windbreaker with a stand-up collar, a shirt and a vest underneath. The top button of her collar was buttoned, giving her an inexplicably steady look.

Her height is probably about the same as An Shiyao's, but she is half a head shorter than Su Ming, less than 170cm tall.

The leather shoes are very clean.

There were already obvious wrinkles around his eyes and forehead, and his hair was half grey, but his eyes made him look very energetic.

"Dad, thank you for your hard work."

Su Ming hurriedly went up to him and took the suitcase from him.

"..."

Father An just glanced at Su Ming and then looked at An Shiyao.

"You look good. You look much better than in Kyoto."

"Ah... maybe, maybe it will be better."

An Shiyao's state was not nervous. It should be said that she was a little unnatural and awkward.

"Hey, guess who I am?"

"?"

An Shiyao was about to speak again when her eyes were suddenly covered from behind.

"Xiao Xi?"

"No fun. You can tell it's me?"

"..."

Su Ming was stunned.

He really didn't expect that An Xiaoxi would come with his father-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, you seem to be getting more handsome?"

Swinging in a bright plaid skirt and blinking her eyes.

Compared to the child in Su Ming's memory, she looked completely different. Although her figure was not as good as her sister's, there was no doubt that she was already a beautiful and graceful girl.

"Brother-in-law doesn't recognize me? It's me, Xiaoxi."

“…It’s changed so much.”

When she was a child, she either had a bun or a short ponytail.

I've never seen this kind of hair before, with a fluffy, slightly curly short hair and a bunch of hair left at the back... is it considered a ponytail? Anyway, it looks pretty. The color seems to have been dyed, and it looks a little brown under the light.

4 month 11 day.

1 pm.

"My sister is still the same. She doesn't like living in a house that is too wide."

Returned to the house rented by An Shiyao.

When An Shiyao woke up in the morning, she tidied everything up. She put away the pantyhose that were scattered on the sofa, and threw the underwear that was thrown around in the room last night into the washing machine.

The sheets and quilt covers were put into the washing machine early. Other things that shouldn't be seen were also sorted.

"We are really living together..."

But no matter how much you collect, there is no need to deliberately hang clothes on the balcony at this point.

As long as you enter the house, you can easily see that Su Ming and her underwear are drying on the balcony. Every piece is wrinkle-free because she has patted it.

By the way, after we had lunch together in the restaurant, my father-in-law said he had something to do, so I sent him to the hotel and he never came with us again.

"Wow, sis...you never wore this style before."

"Xiao Xi!"

Seeing her sister staring at the clothes hanging out to dry and admiring them, An Shiyao felt extremely ashamed.

But she always felt that it was very ordinary.

It's just a lace style with lace, and there are all kinds of closets with an opening in the middle.

Or have your worldviews been distorted without you realizing it?
……

Perhaps it wasn't just An Shiyao who still couldn't get along with her father naturally. Su Ming always felt that his father-in-law wasn't very good at getting along with his daughter either.

But in the end, An Shiyao no longer hated her father.

Her father-in-law did care about her.

Since his father-in-law and An Xiaoxi were here, Su Ming didn't need to go to the company. There was nothing good to stay there. The employees had already done everything, so it wouldn't matter if they approved it one or two days later. If there was something urgent, they would call.

and so.

What exactly is going on?

"Brother-in-law, isn't this very impressive?"

"What kind of face?"

"Sister will hold your left hand, and I will hold your right hand. Hug you left and right~"

"Xiao Xi..."

"Only the elder sister can hold the arm of the brother-in-law. It would be redundant for me to stand aside. My relationship with my brother-in-law is also very good."

"..."

To be honest, it was Su Ming who didn't know how to get along with An Xiaoxi.

She was too outgoing.

When she was little, Su Ming could let her ride on his neck and play. Now she is an adult.

But then again, whether it’s with An Shiyao or An Xiaoxi... the relationship can’t be viewed with common sense, right?

On the left is An Shiyao and on the right is An Xiaoxi.

Although they were both holding arms, there was a big difference. An Shiyao didn't care about the baby coming close to her, while An Xiaoxi just held arms like a normal brother and sister, keeping a certain distance.

It's just a proof that the relationship is as good as before, right?

"Brother-in-law, I want that Doraemon. The biggest one. Can you catch it?"

"..."

"Isn't the clamp too loose? I don't want it anymore!"

"..."

"No, my brother-in-law couldn't catch it even if he helped me, but he caught it as soon as he helped my sister?!"

This is a question of probability.

"Don't you understand? This is the power of love."

An Shiyao shook the doll in her hand.

"..."

"Ugh, disgustingly greasy."

"What's greasy? When you reach my stage in the future, you may not be better than me."

"I would never be so oily."

"Didn't you tell me to just say it if I wanted it?!"

"Sister, let me remind you that my brother-in-law is right next to us."

"It's okay, just pretend I don't exist."

"I...just said I wanted it, Xiaoxi told me...if you like something, just say it directly, it doesn't mean anything else."

"Sister, my brother-in-law and I didn't say we had any other intentions."

An Xiaoxi pretended to be confused, "What does "otherwise" mean? Brother-in-law, do you know?"

"do not know."

"You two did this on purpose!"

"..."

The two sisters were leaning against Su Ming, which was indeed too eye-catching.

But who is Su Ming?
I can even sing "Mouse Loves Rice" on the plane. I am just envious of you, and I have no mood swings at all. I just enjoy the rare leisure time.

"Gun? Brother-in-law, the trajectories of these guns are all crooked."

"Little sister, don't talk nonsense. I won the prize based on my own ability."

"..."

In places where balloons are shot, there must be something wrong with the guns.

In the past, Su Ming could only play with knives. Now, picking up a gun is no different from his right hand.

"Bang bang bang..."

Only the first shot missed the target. The rest all hit the mark.

Give me another 100 yuan.

One shot missed.

Everyone around was stunned. Shooting with one hand, even without a cat, could he hit the target every time?
"Brother... have you ever been a soldier?"

The boss's face turned green.

According to the rules he set, Su Ming could take away all his most expensive dolls.

"They're all ours!" An Xiaoxi didn't care about the boss's expression, and smiled as she hugged several big dolls in her arms.

4 month 11 day.

18.56.

Wandering around and playing. An Xiaoxi suddenly said she wanted to come to the company to take a look, so I brought her here directly.

“Is this my brother-in-law’s office?”

“It feels so adult.”

An Xiaoxi looked around and sat back on the sofa.

"You are an adult now, too."

Looking at her pretending to be old-fashioned expression, Su Ming smiled.

He is definitely not a child anymore.

Not only in appearance, but in every aspect he is no longer a child.

"Don't, don't just sit there. Don't you have to go to my office?"

"Why? This sofa is so comfortable to sit on, and it smells so good... Is there any aromatherapy out there?"

"..."

forget.

It seems that something difficult to describe happened to this sofa recently. So An Shiyao felt even more embarrassed when she saw her sister sitting there and smelling the odor.

aroma……

It was a high-end aromatherapy that she bought herself to cover up the strange smell.

"Wow, my sister's office is so spacious!"

“The sofa is so big too.”

"Don't roll on the couch..."

"..."

Ok.

It seems like a lot of bad things have happened in this company.

4 month 11 day.

Night.

An Xiaoxi seemed to have taken a week off. The school was planning to send them on a trip to Gulangyu Island, but she skipped it.

"Are you impressed?"

"As soon as I heard that my father was coming to Dongshi, I immediately asked for leave to come with him."

"..."

Touching is touching.

But if she wanted to live here, she would no longer be able to do whatever she wanted with An Shiyao.

She slept in the guest room that An Shiyao had prepared. The house itself was not very big, and it was impossible for people to go downstairs like Su Ming's house in Canada. It was no different from a supermarket at that time, only separated by a wall.

"My sister is next door..."

"That's what I mean, but I always feel like you seem more excited."

"I don't!"

"..."

"Don't be too quick on purpose... that's all."

"I was planning on going to bed."

"If you want to sleep, don't tease me... I can't sleep, so you can't sleep either."

4 month 12 day.

My father-in-law wants to visit the company in person.

"Master, who is he?"

While his father-in-law was attending a small meeting with shareholders, the apprentice came over to ask.

"My father-in-law."

"what?"

"..."

"Boss An's...father? He is said to be very powerful in Kyoto?"

"Correct."

"Not at all. Wait."

The apprentice was stunned for a moment, "Master, does he know that you have captured Mr. An?"

"I went to the airport to pick him up yesterday, what do you think?"

4 month 12 day.

Night.

I went to a small stall alone with An's father and ordered some side dishes and drank some wine.

He is not that particular, and his personal net worth may have exceeded billions long ago.

"Jiannanchun...I haven't had it for a long time."

But his cheap wine is also drinkable. This is the most cost-effective one in the stall.

"You're a little weird."

"Forget about the phone call, but you dared to call me dad directly when we met, and invited me to drink in such a small place."

"I thought that our father must have no shortage of good wine. Maybe it would be better to try the food from the stalls and drink some ordinary wine occasionally."

"..."

Father An took a sip of wine and looked at Su Ming again, "Cigarettes, at least don't smoke in front of my daughter after you marry her. It's best to quit, it's not a good thing."

"I also plan to quit completely before having a child."

"..."

Father An's face was calm. "When I first discovered you, I only regarded you as a consumable."

"..."

"One million? Three million? Or ten million? For you who pay less than ten thousand in taxes every year, it will be enough for a few years, decades, or even a lifetime."

"..."

Su Ming didn't say anything, he just drank and listened silently.

"Yaoyao almost had a mental breakdown at that time."

"The child is gone."

"You're gone too."

"She saw you die with her own eyes, but she was able to walk out of the nursing home only because of her fantasy. In that situation, she shouldn't be discharged from the hospital, but I don't want my daughter to spend her whole life in a nursing home."

"..."

"It was me who revealed your presence in Dong City to Yaoyao, and that's why she was willing to come. I made two plans: one, she would completely give up the idea, and two, she would be tricked by you."

“But now there’s a third outcome.”

"..."

Father An drank the rest of the wine in the glass, and Su Ming naturally refilled it for him.

"You are not what I imagined. You are not a consumable, and I don't need to spend money to buy your life."

"Yaoyao...is not that easy to fool."

"She thinks you are the person from six years ago, so there is a high probability that you are the person."

"..."

"Are you?"

Those eyes stared straight at Su Ming, and his tone was very calm.

"You said it wrong."

"Yao is not only hard to deceive, but also impossible to deceive."

"..."

Father An was silent for a moment, then smiled, "You're right, Yaoyao has been very smart since she was young. She takes after her mother."

"My mother-in-law must be very beautiful, right?"

"Well, it's beautiful."

"At first it was just a small workshop with just me and her."

"..."

I listened to An's father talking about the past. The gist of it was that he was penniless at the beginning and relied on his mother-in-law's support to get to where he is now.

"Su Ming."

"I went to the company today to get a brief understanding of the situation."

"I only know that you used some means, but those tough means must bring good results and benefit people in order to convince your subordinates."

"If a person can make money for himself and the people he cooperates with can also make money, then he is a smart person. You need to develop in this direction."

"..."

"As a man, you have to make sure the woman behind you doesn't get wronged. Ability is necessary. If you are Yaoyao's subordinate, no one will look up to you. This company is just for her to practice. Who becomes the general manager, who makes the company's performance better or worse, it won't have much impact. It won't make you earn any face either."

Su Ming toasted An's father and continued to be a qualified listener.

"I will have an international trade fair in Kyoto in a few days. Come over then."

"Follow me and learn more and talk less. I hope that before you actually meet other Yaoyao relatives besides me, you can have a career that you can show off."

"Understand?"

"My two daughters are what I care about most. Yaoyao has had a very hard time in the past six years. I don't want her to suffer any more injustice in the rest of her life."

"..."

"can you do it?"

"You are her father, but I... am also seriously planning to marry her home as her son-in-law. Although our identities are different, our strategic direction is the same as yours."

"Haha, you can drink quite well. You can also listen to flattering words."

"I will meet with some cadres tomorrow to discuss some things. You can come with me. Let's get to know each other."

4 month 13 day.

early morning.

Su Mingzhen drank too much.

There is no other choice but three 750ml bottles of Jiannanchun and one 450ml bottle of Niulanshan.

The more my father-in-law drank, the more excited he became.

Finally, he said that he was not in good health, and An Xiaoxi's mother would not let him drink at home. I drank a lot today.

Grass.

Is it okay to drink so much?
I staggered back home. I had sent a message to An Shiyao earlier, saying that I would be back later.

"Clap."

"..."

Isn't that fingerprint?
The view was too blurry. It was a miracle that I could send An's father back to the hotel.

If Xia Ye had been shocked, he would have woken up.

Su Ming opened the door several beats late.

Holding a weapon might help him stay awake...but Su Ming was a little tired and just wanted to fall asleep.

Is there anyone in the bathroom?

An Shiyao or An Xiaoxi?
Although he was a little drunk, Su Ming didn't forget that An Xiaoxi still lived here. He wouldn't run into the bathroom.

The light in the bedroom was on.

have not sleep yet?

It doesn't seem strange. After all, An Shiyao knew that he would come back, so given her personality, she would probably wait for him.

With his back to Su Ming, holding the phone... the video kept playing over and over again.

Fell asleep while watching videos?
cute.

Isn't it a bit unpleasant to smell of alcohol?

But it’s okay, after all, I’m drinking with my father-in-law.

Su Ming didn't think too much about it. He lifted the quilt and lay down on the bed.

It's a habit.

I am used to holding An Shiyao in my arms, and checking the baby's development while falling asleep.

"..."

But something always feels wrong.

Will An Shiyao’s baby cafeteria be bigger?
No.

Not only is it bigger, An Shiyao's baby canteen cannot be held in just half a hand.

And An Shiyao's buttocks shouldn't be so thin. They should be more elastic.

Besides, she didn't have the habit of sleeping in a skirt. Usually she would wear lace underwear or nothing at all. At most, she would wear pajamas.

and also.

Her hair should be longer, reaching her back. It's not this short, and she hasn't had it permed.

The legs are also very slender...

There is no familiar meaty feeling.

"what?"

"Mr. Su Ming is back? Really...he throws his shoes around again."

"You smell so drunk. How much did you drink with him?"

"..."

wrong.

Something is really wrong.

As he took a closer look at the mismatched baby canteen, the body in his arms twisted slightly and seemed to be trembling a little.

An Shiyao wouldn't react like this!
The most common thing she does is to clamp her hands with her thighs to prevent them from going in. In the baby canteen, she will most likely press them with her hands to prevent herself from pushing the sunken things out for air.

Very important question.

Asked, An Shiyao is outside.

Who is in my arms at this moment?

"Sister, brother-in-law."

"……Well."

"..."

Su Ming woke up instantly.

"Mr. Su Ming, where are the people?"

"Have you entered the room? Xiaoxi, go to bed quickly. I told you not to wait with me. I will take care of your brother-in-law."

"..."

The footsteps are getting closer.

Su Ming's scalp was getting more and more numb. He had walked into the right room. This was his and An Shiyao's room. But the situation was very different from what he had expected.

"Brother-in-law..."

"Hand... that..."

"..."

"Kacha."

The doorknob turned. An Shiyao had already come in.
