100% Love from the Boss

Chapter 354 Encountering An Old Friend

Ling Tianyi served Xia Xiaoluo and Taotao well as if they were the queen and the prince. But he didn’t feel like an emperor. Instead, he was just a doormat who was always teased by Taotao. However, he didn’t mind it because he could see his wife and son at any time. He thought that being together with them was the happiest thing.

After changing the fresh dressing for Xia Xiaoluo, the whole family went to the shopping mall. Ling Tianyi had to win Taotao’s heart first, so they went to the toy section directly. Taotao didn’t refuse, instead, he chose a lot of remote control airplanes and airplane models.

“Taotao, don’t do that. Just choose one or two toys you like.” Xia Xiaoluo couldn’t bear it. Taotao was like a devil into a village, ransacking the toy shop.

“It doesn’t matter. I have never bought toys for my son. So as his daddy, I will buy him whatever he wants today as long as my son is happy!” Ling Tianyi stopped Xia Xiaoluo from blaming Taotao. He really wanted to buy things for Taotao. The more he bought, the happier he would be.

Ling Tianyi felt sorry for Xia Xiaoluo and Taotao all the time. Because when Xia Xiaoluo was pregnant, he didn’t take care of her; when Xia Xiaoluo gave birth to Taotao, he didn’t accompany her. What was more, he didn’t pay any efforts on Taotao’s growing up. He felt very guilty when he saw Taotao because he hasn’t done anything for him.

Ling Tianyi didn’t know how to compensate Taotao, so he could only choose to buy things such as toys, clothes, snacks and so on for him. He was willing to buy anything for Taotao as long as he liked it. He was not short of money anyway, and he could spend all his money if it was possible to use the money to make up for Taotao.

Seeing Taotao was so crazy in choosing toys, Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo looked at each other with a smile.

“Xiaoluo, I will buy some nice clothes, skincare products, and bags for you. You came back suddenly this time, I have no other meanings. I didn’t make enough preparations. If I could get to know this in advance, I would buy you everything you need ahead of time.” Ling Tianyi looked at Xia Xiaoluo gently. He hoped that the relationship between them could be more intimate.

“Don’t bother. You have bought a lot of clothes for me. Those clothes are enough for me these days. When the injury on my head gets better, I will look for a job. I’m not the same as before, so I’m confident that I will find a satisfying job. There is no doubt that I can feed myself and Taotao on my own.” Xia Xiaoluo said.

“I can support you and Taotao!” Ling Tianyi said at once.

“I don’t like being fed! I want to earn my life on my own!” Xia Xiaoluo objected.

“OK, I respect your decision. I support you to look for a job. However, I’m the real father of Taotao, so it’s my duty to feed my son. Well! I’m responsible for all the costs of Taotao’s growth. Regard the money you earn as your pocket money, and you can buy the clothes and food you like. It’s OK.” Ling Tianyi compromised. He dared not to refute Xia Xiaoluo’s words because he was afraid that Xia Xiaoluo would leave him due to anger. He couldn’t suffer the separation anymore.

“Don’t I have the duty to feed my son?” Xia Xiaoluo said reluctantly.

“Sure, you have. But please give me, Taotao’s father, the opportunity to show my love! What’s more, you have done a lot for Taotao already. It’s time for me to do something for him!” Ling Tianyi begged and said. He had a strong desire to look after his wife and son, but he dared not to say tough words for fear that Xia Xiaoluo would be unhappy.

“Alas! Let’s talk about it later!” Xia Xiaoluo shook her head, she didn’t want to argue about it anymore.

At the same time, Taotao chose all the toys he liked, and then he ran to Xia Xiaoluo, “Mommy, I finish choosing the toys and I like those toys very much. I’m tired now.”

“Alas!I’m afraid that there is not enough room for your toys!” Xia Xiaoluo took out some tissues to wipe for Taotao.

“What?” It seemed that Taotao didn’t think about this problem. If he was in the manor in Y Country, there was enough room for his toys because Ouyang Feng designed a toy room for him. However, he was in A City now. Even though he was living in a luxurious suite in Hously Hotel, there was not enough room for his toys. What was more, his remote control airplane wasn’t able to fly in the room

“Mommy! What should we do?” Taotao became a little upset.

“Taotao, you can bring the toy you like best with you. I will take the other toys to our home. Our house is also big, I can also design a specialized toy room and even a toy building for you. What’s more, in our home, there is a large yard where you can play with your remote control airplane as you like. There is also a swimming pool in our home, so you can also play with your remote control ship at home.”

“Or, Taotao, how about you and your mommy going home with daddy today?”

After tempting them for a while, Ling Tianyi finally expressed his thoughts. He even wanted to bring his wife and his son back home in his dream.

Taotao looked at Xia Xiaoluo. He hesitated for a while and shook his head, “I will bring the model plane and the toy gun with me. Please keep the other toys for me temporarily!”

Xia Xiaoluo was satisfied with Taotao’s answer. If Taotao really went home with Ling Tianyi, she would become passive. After all, her marriage with Ling Tianyi was invalid and they didn’t get their marriage certificate after that.

That was to say, she and Ling Tianyi were unmarried, but they gave birth to Taotao. They didn’t have any substantive relationship protected by the law.

Even though Ling Tianyi was talking to Taotao, he was glancing at Xia Xiaoluo secretly. Seeing her expression, Ling Tianyi knew what Xia Xiaoluo was thinking about. She wasn’t the little girl under 20 years old that year who couldn’t get the marriage certificate. They could go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get registered at any time. He could get the permanent residence for Taotao as well. But unexpectedly, he didn’t know Taotao’s formal name. It sounded bad if Taotao’s name was Ling Taotao.

“My son, your nickname is Taotao. But what’s your formal name?” Ling Tianyi asked with a smile.

“Ouyang Han!” Taotao answered without thinking.

Ling Tianyi became upset at once. Taotao used Ouyang as his family name, which made him depressed.

“In Y Country, I changed my name to Ouyang Ziluo because I and Ouyang Ziqian are the same generations in the Ouyang family hierarchy. According to the family tree of the Ouyang family, there should be a character ‘Han’ in Taotao’s name. Sir Ouyang wasn’t able to give Taotao a nice name, so Taotao was called Ouyang Han.” Xia Xiaoluo explained to Ling Tianyi. She didn’t know why she explained it to Ling Tianyi at once when she saw that he was unhappy. Maybe it was the tacit understanding between the former lovers!

“Well! It’s almost noon now. Are you hungry? Let’s eat something nearby and buy the clothes for you and your mommy in the afternoon. How do you think of it?” Ling Tianyi said and changed the topic. The most urgent thing for him to do was to marry Xia Xiaoluo and let Taotao accept him. Therefore, it was improper to talk about changing Taotao’s name at this time.

“I’m hungry! I want to eat seafood!” Taotao said. Seafood was his favorite.

“However, there is an injury on your mommy’s head, so she can’t eat seafood now!” Ling Tianyi said. Taotao was a child after all. It was easy for him to neglect his mommy when talking about food.

“Oh, right! Well, let’s have some young pigeon soup!” Taotao remembered that Ling Tianyi had mentioned some food which was beneficial to the injury yesterday.

“OK! Let’s go to the restaurant!” Ling Tianyi helped Taotao to take the model plane. While Taotao brought his toy gun with him. As for the other toys, Ling Tianyi left an address and the shop assistants would send those toys there.

“Xiaoluo, right? Xiaoluo! Oh my God!”

Xia Xiaoluo encountered an old friend when they arrived at the gate of the restaurant. But her old friend has changed a lot. The slovenly female otaku who was only interested in computers before has changed into a fashionable beautiful lady.

“Xixi, right?” Xia Xiaoluo almost couldn’t recognize Luo Xixi.

“Of course it’s me. Did you forget your intimate roommate?” Luo Xixi was hilarious when she met Xia Xiaoluo, “Do you want to eat here? Let’s eat together! Long time no see! It’s my treat. I just got my salary yesterday!”

“Well, I won’t refuse. But, they are together with me…” Xia Xiaoluo said and looked at Ling Tianyi and Taotao who were beside her.

“A family of three people! No problem! I’m not rich, so I’m afraid that Manager Ling would regard me as a stingy person, maybe he was unwilling to accept my invitation!” Luo Xixi invited them to sit down.

“Is the little boy my godson?” Luo Xixi asked.

“I don’t mind if he agrees!” Xia Xiaoluo looked at Taotao because she wasn’t able to decide it for Taotao.

“Godson, call me godmother. I will order anything that you want to eat! What’s more, I will buy you whatever you want. Toys, snacks and clothes, take your pick!” Luo Xixi said generously.

Taotao ignored Luo Xixi with a cool look.

“You are so cool! You look like Manager Ling very much, not only your appearance but also your character!” Luo Xixi said with a smile.

Ling Tianyi liked Luo Xixi’s words very much, so he nodded hurriedly, “My son definitely looks like me! It’s my treat today, you can order whatever you want to eat. However, there is an injury on Xiaoluo’s head, so she should avoid certain food.”

“My mommy should eat young pigeon soup and stewed pig’s feet!” Taotao said loudly.

“No problem!” Luo Xixi said and the waiter started to record.

They finished ordering quickly. When they were waiting for the dishes, Luo Xixi kept teasing Taotao. She wanted Taotao to call her godmother.

“Xixi, we haven’t seen each other for several years and you’ve changed a lot!” Xia Xiaoluo said jokingly.

“Really? I have changed? Do I become more beautiful?” Luo Xixi asked jokingly as well.

“Not just more beautiful but more optimistic. In the past, you cared about nothing except for computers. But you are in good condition now! Really!” Xia Xiaoluo was delighted to see Luo Xixi become like this.

“Maybe it’s the power of love!” Luo Xixi said with a smile, and her face was full of happiness.

“Love? Really?” Xia Xiaoluo was surprised, “Congratulations! But I’m wondering what kind of boy can make a female otaku fall in love!”

“Just guess!” Luo Xixi kept Xia Xiaoluo guessing, “Anyway, you know him!”

“Did you fall in love with that Lv Errou?” Xia Xiaoluo exclaimed. When they were in the college, Lv Errou fancied Luo Xixi and intended to force Luo Xixi to be with her. If they really became a couple, Xia Xiaoluo would feel sorry for Luo Xixi because Luo Xixi’s character was so traditional.

Luo Xixi stared at Xia Xiaoluo, “What are you thinking about? That’s impossible! Is my sexual orientation so strange? Although you and I pretended to be lesbian lovers before, it was just fake!”

“Who’s he? Tell me!” Xia Xiaoluo gossiped and asked.
