Chapter 695: Chapter 695

"Two guys from national security came to our house, one of them was Miss Zhong whom we’ve met before..."

"Haha, my parents are dying of curiosity about you now..."

"But I haven’t told them anything..." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵

"They said they want to meet you, I said I’d check with your schedule..."

"They called me a traitor, haha..."

"By the way, I brought back some tea from my dad, it’s a gift from a friend, really good stuff..."

"He’s so stingy, really tightfisted..."

"But at least they don’t seem to oppose us being together..."

Probably feeling relieved from lifting a big weight off her chest, Taozi sounded particularly excited on the phone, chatting endlessly.

Luckily Shen Siyuan is not in Bin Hai, otherwise, tonight would be a battle of three hundred rounds with him.

"I’ll visit them when I get back to Bin Hai."

"When are you coming back?"

"The day after tomorrow." Shen Siyuan replied.

"Alright, let’s discuss when you return."

"Where are you now? Not staying at home?"

"No, I went home, Ruan Ruan is waiting for me there."

Taozi has implicitly considered her current residence as her home, speaking about it quite naturally.

"By the way, my parents asked if we’re living together, I said yes, they didn’t say much, but I’m a bit worried they’ll want to visit our place, what do we do then?"

"Hmm... then maybe buy another house?"

Shen Siyuan didn’t have a better solution, they couldn’t possibly ask Ruan Hongzhuang to move out, she’d probably explode.

"Well, it’s not impossible, I’ll check if there are any existing properties for sale in our current district." Taozi thought that might be a solution.

"No need to buy again, didn’t someone gift me a villa earlier? Just say there."

Taozi knew about that, the villa is in the same community as her friend’s, the environment there is quite peaceful, even Ruan Ruan wanted to buy one there for vacation.

"That’s too far, inconvenient to travel back and forth. If my parents go there and don’t see signs of living, they’ll surely know we’re lying, it’s better to buy in Sea Breeze District, living together makes travel easier."

"Alright then, it’s up to you." Shen Siyuan responded.

"Hm, you don’t need to worry about this, leave it to me." Taozi said.

"Alright, then you check out the houses first." Shen Siyuan said.

They chatted a bit more before hanging up.

However, Shen Siyuan was somewhat troubled, couldn’t let Taozi pay for the house herself, right?

Although it’s not impossible, he needs to have a stance, can’t depend on women for everything.

But the house prices in Sea Breeze District are not cheap, the one he’s living in now was gifted by Duoduo’s parents.

If he were to pay for such a house himself, he really couldn’t afford it, even if his dad supported him with some funds, it would be tight, so he has to figure out a way to get some money.

Although it’s both hard and easy to get money, selling a single "Leg Stretching Eye Bulging Pill" would suffice.

But he couldn’t just sell it to anyone, and since he’s meeting Song Meixian on this trip, selling to them would be most appropriate.

Thinking of this, Shen Siyuan temporarily set his worries aside and shifted his focus to the figures on the plaza.

It was Sun Meiqi and Dou Dou playing.

Knowing Shen Siyuan’s arrival, Sun Meiqi proactively approached without requiring him to seek her out.

Seeing the sister-friend she hadn’t seen for a while, Dou Dou was naturally extremely happy.

On the plaza, a few little kids were playing "Eagle Catching Chicks," Xiao Yue was the eagle, Sun Meiqi was the mother hen, Duoduo and three others hid behind her, naturally Tang Tang was at the back.

Even though she had short legs, she was the most agile, laughing the loudest.

The reason was she hardly exerted any effort, like a kite being pulled by Dou Dou in front, following her turns and moving backward with her.

The reason was her feet weren’t touching the ground at all.

The little one’s talents were astonishing, Shen Siyuan forbade her from flying in front of strangers, warning her she would be taken away if discovered and never see them again.

She secretly glided near the ground, an invisible wind carried her feet as if wearing ice skates, outsiders couldn’t see anything unusual, and she moved faster and more nimbly.

Dou Dou seemed to sense something, frequently looking back, but even so, didn’t find any problems.

After playing for a while and returning, Dou Dou finally expressed her doubts.

"I think Tang Tang did something bad." She told Shen Siyuan.

"Oh, what bad thing did she do?"

"I don’t know, but she laughed wickedly." Dou Dou said.

"Oh, how so?" Shen Siyuan was curious about what Dou Dou meant.

She usually laughed "han~," but just now she laughed "hei~," clearly indicating wrongdoing.

This little one was quite perceptive.

"How are you so sure?" Shen Siyuan asked.

"Because when I do bad things, that’s how I laugh." Dou Dou responded confidently.

She was pretty smug about it.

"I’ll ask her later." Shen Siyuan said.

"Hm, you should spank her butt, though." Dou Dou nodded obediently.

You’re just setting me up to spank her butt, right?

Shen Siyuan looked at Tang Tang, who was drinking water from a small bottle, though gliding near the ground took little effort, laughing loudly drained her strength.

Duoduo squatted nearby, studying a sculpture on the plaza.

Meanwhile, Sun Meiqi was talking to Xiao Yue, following the principle of kids liking to hang out with older ones; though Dou Dou was her good friend, she’d rather play with Xiao Yue.

But Xiao Yue didn’t want to play with her, having a cold personality, she quietly listened without speaking, yet Sun Meiqi persisted, talking endlessly.

Discussing fun things and tasty things here, yet not mentioning her family’s situation.

Seeing this, Shen Siyuan waved her over.

"Immortal Brother, what’s up?"

Even though she was a Fan Soul, she still addressed Shen Siyuan as Immortal Brother.

"Let me ask, have you met your mom and dad lately?"

Sun Meiqi shook her head.

This little girl, though only eight years old, was particularly mature. She said no, so it was probably true.

"Haven’t you wanted to see them?"

Sun Meiqi lowered her head at that, then softly said, "I think my mom and dad have found me."

"Oh?" Shen Siyuan raised his eyebrows.

"Last time, my brother accidentally fell from the walker, I worried he might become dumb-dumb from the fall, so I made myself visible to hold him, though I quickly hid myself again, my mom seemed to have seen me..."

"Hehe, dumb-dumb." Dou Dou eagerly learned a new word and chuckled nearby.

Sun Meiqi glared at her and continued, "Dad said it was a hallucination from mom being too tired taking care of the baby, but mom insisted she saw me. They went to the cemetery to visit me, burning lots of useless paper money."

"Didn’t you say you didn’t like your brother? Why did you save him then?" Shen Siyuan asked.

"Actually... Actually, I don’t dislike him that much, he... he’s kind of cute." The little one said with a hint of pride.

Shen Siyuan laughed and patted her head.

Then he said, "You have to decide whether to see them or not, if we go back this time, you won’t have the chance again."

Sun Meiqi looked up at him, her eyes no longer seemed confused, she had probably made up her mind long ago, and Shen Siyuan’s words only helped cement her decision.
