Becoming a life winner from infancy

Xia Anyang and Fang Guanghui talked all the way, and decided to have another good talk with Xia Nuo about this matter.

After buying clothes and returning to the hotel, they opened the door to put things away, and the door to the master bedroom was also open.

Xia Nuo came out accompanied by Fang You, her head hung low, her mood very downcast.

At that moment, Fang You gently pushed Xia Nuo from behind, prompting her to step forward, lift her head to look at Xia Anyang, and then bow to apologize.

"Daddy, I'm sorry."

"I... I shouldn't have treated you like that today."

Xia Nuo's voice was a bit fragmented, "Because at first you said you couldn't take me to Qiankun City, I've been holding a grudge against you, and I even spoke ill of you behind your back. I never once considered your hardships, I truly am a disobedient child."

...

No, no, don't say that, Nuo Nuo!

Surely it's Daddy who did wrong, it's all my fault!

Xia Anyang's guilt was overwhelming, and even though he forcefully suppressed the urge to cry, his voice began to tremble:

"You're not disobedient; this is... Daddy's fault, Daddy was wrong. Daddy made a promise to you so early on, yet almost broke it. It's normal for you to be angry with Daddy..."

A great father will bravely and frankly admit his mistakes in front of his child!

For the proud Xia Anyang, of course, this was not an easy thing, but he was trying to do it.

Yes, yes, that's right! That's the way!

Come out to have fun, let's play happily and not keep things bottled up inside. It's so much better to be honest with each other.

Just like the relationship between me and You You.

Fang Guanghui gave Fang You a thumbs up and then winked at his son.

?

What... what help did he give?

All evening, Fang You had been coaxing Nuo Nuo to apologize to her father on her own initiative.

If the father and daughter couldn't reconcile, they wouldn't be able to create pleasant memories.

"And then, about what I said just now, I was very harsh to you and I want to apologize again. Some things I said weren't my true feelings. I need to clarify that." Discover exclusive content at empire

Right, right. Apologize properly.

Fang Guanghui was nodding in satisfaction to one side when Xia Nuo rubbed her eyes and continued:

"I said you weren't nearly as good as Uncle Fang, which must have hurt you a lot, right?"

"Stop it... Nuo Nuo..."

The proud Xia Anyang was also pursing his lips and trying to keep a straight face, almost on the verge of tears—hit right where it hurt.

Only one person's smile was gradually freezing and then turning confused.

?

Huh?

Wait a second.

"Not nearly as good" is that offensive?

Fang Guanghui felt deeply wounded, but the situation was really not right to quibble over this.

Xia Nuo continued: "But Uncle Fang, even though he doesn't have money, doesn't know how to groom himself, likes to brag, often forgets things, and only turns to You You for help when facing trouble, also..."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Hey, Nuo Nuo—"

Is that how useless I am in your eyes!

Fang Guanghui was a moment away from breaking down—

"But Uncle Fang does have one very, very good quality... I think Daddy should really pay attention to it."

Whew...

So there is a good point about me after all...

Fang Guanghui suddenly felt relieved, as long as there was one good point, then he had a very positive image in Nuo Nuo's heart!

"That is, he focuses on his own things."

Xia Nuo said, "For example, on this trip to Qiankun City, he also had places he wanted to visit. He came here to see the Paru All Stars' performance."

Ah.

This, this...

Is that really a good point?

Fang Guanghui was a bit confused.

"But Daddy, you always say 'I'm doing this for you', which makes me feel... um, like, you're always watching over me."

Xia Nuo hugged herself, then swayed her body a bit shyly as she spoke:

"Although I know Daddy cares about me, it makes me feel a lot of pressure..."

"I, I understand."

Xia Anyang wiped his hands and then gently patted Xia Nuo's head, "Dad was just planning to have a good talk with you about this. Dad certainly can't always treat you as a child, you should know that it's normal for you to have grown up and to have your own ideas."

?

Weren't these my words?

Fang Guanghui couldn't help but rant in his mind, he didn't even mention my name in passing, how inconsiderate, Old Xia.

"Uh..."

Xia Nuo twirled her hair, "But today I really was being capricious, so I will listen to Dad and stay in the same room with him..."

"No, no, no..."

Xia Anyang quickly waved his hand to stop her, "It's alright, Nuo Nuo, if you want to sleep in the same room as You You, then do it. After thinking it over, Dad feels what you said is right. You've grown up, and it's normal to feel awkward sleeping in the same room as your dad, just have fun playing while we are out, it's also..."

"Dad, you're not going to con people again, are you?"

"Ah? Um... I'm certainly not going to con people."

Xia Anyang shook his head, "No, Dad's words have never been broken!"

"Alright, then I will listen to Dad."

Xia Nuo linked arms with Fang You, smiling, "I'm sharing a room with You You tonight!"

Ah? Ah, hey...

At this moment, Xia Anyang suddenly felt like he was falling step by step into a trap Nuo Nuo had set.

Wasn't it about reasoning with her from the beginning? How did it turn into agreeing immediately to her sharing a room with You You...

"Alright, alright! If only it had been arranged like that from the start, none of this would've happened..."

Fang Guanghui patted Xia Anyang's shoulder, "Old Xia, how about you and I share a big bed tonight? Though I snore when I sleep, I usually let my wife sleep first before I go to bed, don't mind it, okay?"

"No thanks, I'll just sleep on the couch."

Xia Anyang was a clean freak; he only shared a bed with his own family!

It definitely wasn't to eavesdrop on the noises from Nuo Nuo's room!

So then it was time for everyone to wash up.

After a busy day, Xia Nuo hurried to take a bath. She filled the bathtub with water, ready to soak in a hot bath properly.

"You You, this bathtub looks so comfortable to soak in, come and join me, let's soak together!"

Xia Nuo pulled Fang You's arm, intending to go into the master bedroom's en suite bathroom, and of course, Fang You refused.

"That's not going to work... Do you want your dad to kill me?"

"Hee hee... What's the big deal, we do it quietly, he won't even know!"

"Forget it, I better just wait outside."

Emperor Youyou was always a boy with a strong sense of boundaries. He deliberately came out to the living room while Nuo Nuo was bathing, a gesture that would give Xia Anyang, the father, more of a sense of security.

Seeing how sensible Fang You was, of course, Xia Anyang breathed a sigh of relief.

At least this kid was reliable.

So Xia Anyang ended his stakeout in the living room and went off to another bathroom to take his own shower with his clothes.

While Fang You was waiting, Fang Guanghui also came over at this time.

He rubbed his hands together, showing an eager look.

"You You—"

"Don't call it so mushy."

Fang You looked somewhat disgusted, "What is it?"

"You You, tell me about tomorrow's Paru All Stars game, how do you plan to get the tickets?"

...

I forgot that.

Fang You, who was meticulous, was not flustered, but said unhurriedly:

"Tomorrow we'll go to the venue and see, maybe there will be some last-minute tickets added."

Upon hearing this, Fang Guanghui suddenly felt something wasn't quite right, "Is that really your plan?"

"Just say whether it is a plan."

"I feel like you're lying to your dad... How can you do this to your old man?"

"..."

Fang Guanghui sounded a little aggrieved, clearly finding it hard to accept the idea that his own son would deceive him.

[Fang Guanghui can't believe his son would do something as unreliable as he does! Feeling unable to trust you anymore, Emotional Energy +50]

Seeing this line of emotionally charged text information made Fang You's heart slightly tense.

These issues with the father-son relationship, they just never end, do they...
