The fire was out, and the kitchen was full of oily smoke, but the alarm was still going off.
Li Ao picked up the handle of the pot with a damp cloth. He lifted the pot, and a pile of chicken wings that were burnt into powder and bones fell out of the pot. A big hole was burned in the bottom of the pot, and Li Ao looked at Han Miao through the big hole.
Two seconds later, the two people who didn't even have time to put on their clothes looked at each other and laughed like idiots.
After laughing enough, they went back to their room to get dressed.
After Han Miao changed her clothes, she found that her mobile phone was gone. After looking around, she found the mobile phone in the pocket of her denim shorts in the studio. Finding that Han Jun called herself more than ten minutes ago, Han Miao walked to the kitchen with her mobile phone and sent a video to Han Jun.
Han Jun and Xu Qian just arrived home, Xu Qian was taking a bath, and she was cutting fruit. Han Jun answered the video, and while fiddling with the fruit plate, she lowered her head and asked Han Miao, "I haven't answered your calls, what are you doing?"
Han Miao: "Do what you love."
Han Jun heard the implication, she put down the fruit, turned her head to look at the video on her mobile phone, raised her eyebrows and said, "The sun hasn't set yet." She was implying that Han Miao and Li Ao were messing around during the day.
Han Miao shook her finger and said, "This is fun." Han Miao pointed the camera at the messy kitchen, and she told Han Jun, "Look, my kitchen was almost destroyed."
Han Jun was a little scared when he saw the messy kitchen scene. "Is there a fire?"
Han Miao rubbed her nose and told Han Jun, "I forgot that there were chicken wings cooking in the pot. The bottom of the pot burned through and almost caught fire. Fortunately, Neil managed to put out the fire."
Han Jun sneered, "This is the price for Bai Ri's announcement of 'silver'."
Han Miao laughed awkwardly and said nothing.
Han Jun told her to get down to business, "Go home tonight, let's meet, Xu Qian needs to find you."
"What did he want from me?"
"About Lin Yutian."
Upon hearing Lin Yutian's name, Han Miao immediately became serious and serious. She walked out of the kitchen, leaned against the dining room table, and asked Han Jun with a frown, "Why did Xu Qian ask Lin Yutian about it?"
"I can't tell for a while, let's talk about it when we go home and meet."
Han Jun refused to speak clearly on the phone just to arouse Han Miao's curiosity.
After Li Ao changed his clothes, Han Miao asked him, "I'm going back to Yulong Villa, Neil, do you want to go back with me?"
Li Ao thought about it, then nodded.
When Han Miao and the others returned home, Han Jun and the others were still on the winding road from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
Li Ao and Xu Qian, brother-in-laws, are not very close, and they don't have much to talk about when they meet. After all, one is a painter, and the other is a doctor in name, but secretly they are doing the work of exorcising demons.
Today, the eldest lady and the second lady are going to bring their fiancés back for dinner, and the cook of the Han family is busy.
After Han Jun took over Zeus International, Han Zhan seemed to have retired, but he was still helping with some company affairs. The days after retirement were not as leisurely as Han Zhan thought.
Han Zhan works remotely in his home office most of the time, and he goes to the company for up to three days a month. When he goes, he is there to monitor Han Jun's work. The eldest son-in-law and the second son-in-law were both coming back for dinner, and Song Ci called Han Zhan downstairs to help.
The eldest son-in-law likes to drink rock tea, and the second son-in-law likes to drink coffee. Han Zhan was driven by Song Ci to the tea room to boil water and make tea. While boiling water, Han Zhan complained to Bei Zhan with his mobile phone.
Han Zhan said: [It is said that a son-in-law should respect his father-in-law. Now it is good. They come to have dinner together. I am like the younger brother who serves tea and water.]
Bei Zhan has two children. The eldest daughter is three years older than Han Jun and the others. She is already twenty-five years old. She has had two boyfriends but failed them all. She is still a dashing single lady.
Bei Zhan couldn't understand Han Zhan's mood. He gloated over the phone and said, "That's because you have no status. When my daughter gets married and my son-in-law comes, you have to serve me tea and water yourself."]
Han Zhan: [Just brag, when your daughter gets married, sooner or later you will follow in my footsteps.]Han Zhan said he was disgusted to death, but he was willing to do all of this in his heart. He treats his two sons-in-law like his sons, not because he likes these two boys from the bottom of his heart, nor is he willing to boil water for them to make tea and coffee.
When Xu Qian arrived, Han Zhan's water boiled and his coffee was ready.
After the two sons-in-law greeted Song Ci, they went to the tea room to chat with Han Zhan. Xu Qian and Li Ao took the tea handed over by Han Zhan himself with both hands, both looking respectful.
Han Zhan liked to see how they complimented him.
A sense of accomplishment.
The three men sat in the tea room and chatted about everything. Han Zhan went into business after retiring from the army as a young man, Li Ao is a world-renowned painter, and Xu Qian is a monk of metaphysics. These three are good at completely different fields, and they don't have many topics to talk about.
When they got together, the only thing they could talk about was each other's lovers.
After chatting for a while, Han Zhan drove them out with a wave of his hand. After leaving the tea room, Li Ao took Xu Qian to find Han Miao.
Han Miao was waiting for them in her room. She had learned about Lin Yutian's condition from Han Jun earlier.
Knowing that Lin Yutian was most likely possessed by that evil spirit, Han Miao was so distressed that she died.
Han Miao always kept the gifts that Lin Yutian gave her in the past. Hearing that Xu Qian needed these things, Han Miao hurriedly took them out of the storage cabinet.
Lin Yutian has a good relationship with Han Miao. The two have been good friends for nearly six years. Lin Yutian has given Han Miao many gifts. Standing beside Han Jun, Xu Qian casually looked at the gifts before walking to a doll.
It was a Disney Snow White doll, a gift from Lin Yutian to Han Miao on her fifteenth birthday.
Seeing Xu Qian picking up the doll and putting it in front of her nose to sniff, Han Miao hurried to Xu Qian's side, "Tian Bao is my best friend, she used to be very smart. Xu Qian'er, if she is really possessed by an evil spirit , can you still save her?"
Xu Qian did not dare to make any guarantees, he said: "I will try to keep her alive."
Han Miao understood another meaning in Xu Qian's words.
Tears came to Han Miao's eyes. Through a layer of shirt fabric, she held Xu Qian's arm tightly, bit her lip and said, "Xu Qian'er, please."
Xu Qian nodded.
Li Ao stepped forward and took Han Miao's hand away from Xu Qian's arm. He is jealous, but now is not the time for him to show jealousy, so he has been holding back.
Standing obediently between Han Jun and Li Ao, Han Miao saw Xu Qian take out a brush and a piece of rice paper from the backpack he was carrying. Xu Qian dipped some cinnabar with a brush and drew a butterfly on the paper.
After the pen stopped, Xu Qian said warmly to the piece of paper: "Go!"
The cinnabar butterfly on the paper flapped its wings immediately, flew out along the window, and disappeared from Han Miao's sight. This is the hunting butterfly of the Xu family in Kunlun, they are best at tracking.
Seeing this scene, Han Miao opened her mouth in surprise, as if watching a fantasy movie.
After finishing all this, Butler Cai also came to inform them to go downstairs for dinner.
Han Zheng was still studying at university in Kyoto, and he would only come home with the Han family for a few days during the summer vacation, and he usually didn't come back. There were only six of them at the dinner table.
During the meal, I saw that several children were very silent, and they all showed a preoccupied look. Han Zhan couldn't stand the atmosphere, so he asked calmly, "What's going on? Are you all dumb?"
Han Jun turned his attention to Xu Qian.
Xu Qian pondered for a while, then raised his head and said to Han Zhan, "Dad, the housekeeper and cook are tired from busy work for so long. Let them go to eat first." This is a disguised request to clear the venue.
Han Zhan glanced at Butler Cai.
Butler Cai was very clever, so he hurriedly called everyone to another room to finish their meal.
With no outsiders around, Xu Qian told Han Zhan about Lin Yutian in detail. After hearing this, Han Zhan attached great importance to this matter, "Is the six-star formation really that scary?"
Xu Qian nodded solemnly, "It's very scary. It's very powerful now, and I'm not absolutely sure that I can destroy it."
The burden in Xu Qian's heart was very heavy, like pressing down on a majestic mountain. If he succeeds, it is naturally a good thing, but if he does not succeed, someone will pay for it with their lives!
What Xu Qian wanted to do, Han Zhan was powerless to help, he told Xu Qian: "If you need it, just ask."
Xu Qian nodded seriously, "I will, Dad."
When Li Ao heard that Xu Qian called Han Zhan his father, he was envious, admired, and somewhat disdainful. Xu Qian has a good mouth. The day after Xu Yan and Han Zhan negotiated Xu Qian and Han Jun's marriage, Xu Qian changed his mouth and called Han Zhan and Song Ci their parents.
The first time Xu Qian changed his words, everyone was shocked, everyone was embarrassed, but Xu Qian himself was not embarrassed. Since then, Xu Qian has been calling Song Ci and Han Zhan his parents.
Li Ao, who is also a son-in-law, can only watch. He also wants to change his words, but he is always embarrassed.
After eating, Xu Qian hid in the garden to smoke, Li Ao came to him and stood silently with him, not speaking. Xu Qian smoked a cigarette and saw the great artist standing beside him, like a silent Optimus Prime.
Xu Qian looked at Li Ao playfully, and asked him, "What are you doing standing there without talking? Shield me from the wind?"
Li Ao took a quiet look at Xu Qian, and then asked: "The first time you changed your mind about Han Jun's parents as parents, wasn't it embarrassing?"
Xu Qian showed an inscrutable look in his eyes, and he said, "As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed."
Li Ao was thoughtful.
After nine o'clock in the evening, Han Jun and Xu Qian got up and said goodbye. After they left, Han Miao and Li Ao also planned to leave. These two people are living together now, and Han Zhan and Song Ci turned a blind eye to their cohabitation.
Before leaving, Han Miao quietly pulled Song Ci to the coffee table next to the swimming pool to whisper. Seeing Han Miao sneaking around, Song Ci felt puzzled. "Is there anything you can't say in it? You have to hide here."
Han Miao peeked inside and saw that Han Zhan hadn't noticed them, so she tiptoed and whispered in Song Ci's ear, "Mom, Neil and I are trying to conceive recently."
Song Ci:!
Her eyes widened a little, and she asked Han Miao, "How old are you now! Are you planning to have a child?"
Han Miao blinked and said, "I'm 22 years old, mom, when you gave birth to me and Junjun, you were only 23 years old."
Song Ci was in a daze, and she murmured: "I'm only 45 years old, are you going to let me be a grandmother?" God, the children are so strong, she can't take it anymore.
Han Miao took Song Ci's hand and shook it. She said, "Mom, Li Ao and I want to hurry up and get married, don't wait until we are really pregnant. Neil and I want to get married this year."
Han Miao and Li Ao have been engaged for a long time, and the date of marriage has not been fixed yet, because Han Miao has been studying before and only graduated this year.
Both Han Miao and Li Ao are planning to conceive, so the wedding should be on the agenda. But such a big matter needs to be discussed by the four elders, and Song Ci can't make the decision without authorization. "Wait for me to talk to your father and listen to his opinion."
"good."
After finishing the business, Han Miao took Li Ao to say goodbye to Han Zhan.
Li Ao stood in front of Han Zhan, his expression hesitant to speak, and he really wanted to call out "Dad", but the word "Dad" couldn't come out of his mouth.
Seeing Li Ao's unspeakable expression, Han Zhan was worried for him. "Neil, what do you want to say?" Han Zhan always treated Li Ao with a bit of affection, so his tone was quite gentle.
Han Miao also looked at her lover inexplicably, not understanding what was wrong with him.
Li Ao's ears were red with anxiety, and his lips moved for a while, but he still couldn't call out the word 'father'.
Han Zhan raised his eyebrows, "Is it something that cannot be said?"
Han Miao bumped Li Ao's arm with his shoulder, urging him: "What's the matter, just tell me."
Li Ao stomped his feet, gave up, and shouted loudly: "Uncle Han, I want to be like Xu Qian, and call you Dad!" After Li Ao shouted these words, everyone in the room looked up at him at the same time . Including Butler Cai and the helpers.
Both Han Zhan and Song Ci looked at Li Ao with astonishment. Han Miao also blinked, thinking: This is it
Li Ao noticed everyone's reaction, he was embarrassed enough to scratch the floor with his toes.
He turned around with flushed cheeks, and walked quickly to the parking lot like a quail. Li Ao walked for a while, and suddenly heard Han Zhan's voice behind him: "Neil, next time you come over, Dad will wrap you a red packet."
Hearing this, Li Ao paused. He quickly turned his head, glanced at Han Zhan, who was smiling and inclusive, and Song Ci, who was smiling behind him, feeling both happy and ashamed. Li Ao's face turned red as if it was about to bleed.
He has no face to face anyone!
