Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 834 - 695: Daddy, You’re Even More Handsome! (First Update)
Yi Luowa looked at Tong Airui discontentedly, "I’m not that tired, see how you’re making it hard for the kids."
"Who was the one who kept telling me from last night until we got off the plane that you were exhausted and wanted to sleep for three days and nights once you got to mom’s place?"
Yi Luowa pursed her lips and turned to look at her father, "Dad, when’s your meeting? Get him out of here quickly."
The Emperor Haotian chuckled, "You’ll have to ask Danton about that. Your mom and I haven’t been handling anything lately."
Yi Luowa blinked, wondering if her dad was retiring soon.
The Emperor Haotian laughed and said, "Stop blinking; it’s just as you thought."
Yi Luowa grinned at Danton, "Good brother, would you mind arranging for today’s meeting to start early and ideally last until tomorrow morning?"
Danton gave a wry smile, "Sis, you’ve only been gone a few days, and your heart’s already grown so ruthless!"
Yi Luowa pointed at him, "You’re not allowed to speak for your brother-in-law!"
"I’m not speaking for him. I’m saying you don’t feel sorry for me. Mom and dad have pushed all their work onto me lately, and I’m exhausted. Isn’t it obvious they’re planning to retire soon?"
"I noticed, Mom and Dad are getting older..."
"Clearly you’re my ’real’ sister!" Danton snorted, "My brother-in-law is tired today, no meeting this afternoon. I’ll arrange for other officials to go have fun so my brother-in-law can rest well."
Tong Airui burst out laughing.
Yi Luowa signaled to the three children with her eyes.
Zi Xi rushed over first, climbed onto the sofa, and covered his uncle’s mouth.
Sang Yu pouted and said, "Uncle doesn’t listen to mom, should be punished!"
"But mom and dad really are tired." Zi Yan scratched his head, "I don’t know who to speak up for."
"Of course you should support mom!"
"Of course you should support dad!"
Yi Luowa and Tong Airui said at the same time.
Zi Yan giggled, "Sang Yu, Zi Xi, let’s see if Auntie is back."
Zi Xi thought for a moment, released his uncle, and jumped off the sofa.
Sang Yu pouted, "You two are no good, taking no sides!"
"You must take sides with outsiders, but not with family. When we encounter problems at home we can’t solve, escaping is our best option!" Zi Yan said as he pulled his younger siblings out.
Yi Luowa smiled helplessly, "These little rascals!"
The Queen Haotian laughed, "That’s actually a pretty good tactic. Airui, those three are something else!"
Tong Airui smiled helplessly, "Mom, to be honest, I wish they were a bit more ordinary, so they could live more peacefully."
"It’s fate, we can’t go against it, better to go with the flow." The Emperor Haotian chuckled, "With these kids, you want them to be ordinary, but they just can’t be!"
The Queen Haotian laughed, "The kids are still young, no need to worry so soon. Are you hungry? If you are, I’ll tell them to serve the meal now."
"Hungry or not, we should arrange for those officials to eat first. I’ll go check in front, it’s not good for Marcus to be with them alone." Danton said as he stood up.
Yi Luowa pursed her lips with a smile, "Then you better go quickly."
Danton turned to Tong Airui, "Brother-in-law, are you going over?"
Tong Airui shook his head with a smile, "I won’t be going. I already told them on the plane that I won’t be having lunch or dinner with them."
"Okay, I’ll head over by myself. Uncle and Aunt, I’ll go first."
Long Che nodded with a smile.
Tong Yao said with a smile, "Don’t eat too much, I’ve got some treats saved for you."
"Thank you, Auntie," Danton said as he walked out with a smile.
At lunch, Yi Luowa finally got to enjoy her mother-in-law’s cooking.
Yi Luowa contentedly rubbed her belly, "Mom, your cooking just keeps getting better. I can stay full for three days with this meal."
"Well, then mom can rest for a few days; otherwise, dad would be concerned." Tong Airui laughed as he pulled her hand down, "Stop rubbing, can’t you see the look mom is giving you?"
Yi Luowa tilted her head toward the Queen Haotian, "Mom, I’ve got self-restraint. In front of outsiders, I wouldn’t be so presumptuous."
The Queen Haotian smiled helplessly, "Aren’t you afraid your in-laws will laugh at you?"
Tong Yao laughed, "Our family isn’t so strict. Luowa’s been feeling stifled outside for so many days. She’s finally home; let her relax."
"Hehe, my mom is the best!" Yi Luowa grinned and leaned her head on Tong Yao’s shoulder.
Sang Yu looked at her mom, pursed her little lips, and said, "Mom’s been gone for so many days; she seems to have become smaller, always acting spoiled with grandma and Nana."
"Your mom wasn’t that big in the first place." Tong Yao laughed and patted Yi Luowa’s cheek.
"Oh... My daughter dislikes me." Yi Luowa sat up straight, "Mom, when are you and dad planning to leave?"
"No rush, once you and Airui have rested for a few days, your dad and I will leave. Once we leave, you’ll have to work hard again."
Yi Luowa smiled, "Mom, you and dad can go have fun with peace of mind, I don’t find it hard. I’m not the only one managing the house; we’re all doing it together. Youyou and Joyina have really grown up; they’re eager to help Connie and me."
Tong Yao smiled kindly, "Connie told me, they’re all grown up. It seems our going out for a while has been quite the training for you all."
Yi Luowa nodded with a smile, "That’s what they call ’weaning.’ When I have time, I’ll share some stories with you that Connie doesn’t know about. You’ll be even happier hearing them."
"Alright, tell me when the time comes." Tong Yao smiled, looking at her son, "Accompany Luowa to rest."
Tong Airui gently touched his wife’s head, "Do you want to go rest now?"
Yi Luowa was a bit reluctant to leave, "I have so much to say to the two moms..."
The Queen Haotian laughed and said, "Go rest for a while. Your mother-in-law won’t leave for now, and I won’t disappear either. Look at how thin you’ve become."
The Emperor Haotian playfully slapped Zi Xi’s little bottom and laughed, "This morning you three were saying you almost forgot what your mom smells like. Go with your mom back to the bedroom and bond a bit."
"Yes, sir~" Zi Xi laughed and ran over, pulling his mom up from the couch with his siblings.
Yi Luowa laughed as she stood up, "Then I’ll go rest for a bit."
Yi Luowa and Tong Airui took the three kids back to the bedroom, where the little ones scrambled onto the bed first.
Sang Yu pouted and said, "Mom, you and dad’s scent is all gone now."
Tong Airui was taken aback, "What? Can the scent really disappear?"
"After you left, the three of us kept sleeping in your room because it smelled like you and mom. But lately, the scent has been fading."
"Of course, it’s fading!" Yi Luowa kicked off her shoes, got on the bed, and smiled as she lay next to her daughter, "It’s kissing time now, who wants to go first?"
"Of course it’s me; I’m closest to mom!" Sang Yu hooked her mom’s neck and gave her a peck, "Dad, I want to kiss you too~"
"Alright, dad’s coming." Tong Airui laughed and got on the bed, delighted his daughter remembered him.
"Let me kiss dad first." Zi Xi eagerly hugged his dad’s neck, "Dad, you look even more handsome!"
Fourth Lord, flattered by his son’s compliment, asked, "How do you see that dad is more handsome?"
"Son was just saying that, did you take it seriously!" Yi Luowa playfully scolded him, reaching out to touch Zi Yan’s cheek, "Zi Yan, it must have been tough with mom gone these days. Mom loves you."
Zi Yan’s eyes turned slightly red, he looked at his mom with a smile, "Mom, I love you too."
