"That's not nonsense, I only talked to her and didn't marry her, who else would I marry?" Lu Fei said impatiently.
Liu Yifeng chuckled awkwardly, "Didn't I see your girlfriend angry last time? I was afraid you hadn't appeased her!"
Lu Fei said with a proud look, "How could I not appease her? Who am I? After taking her back, I bought her new clothes and took her out to eat and drink. Her anger was long gone."
But when Liu Yifeng heard this, his smile faltered. He had always felt that Lu Fei's girlfriend didn't truly love Lu Fei.
The only reason she was with him was because Lu Fei treated her well. This woman was actually quite materialistic.
However, as they say, the bystander sees more clearly than the participant. Lu Fei didn't think so. He still believed that Wu Qian loved him desperately.
It is said that brothers should advise reconciliation, not separation, and they had never spoken ill of Wu Qian.
But now they had reached the stage of discussing marriage, and marriage was a lifelong major event that could not be taken lightly.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say more, "Lu Fei, you've been dating Wu Qian for so long. How do you think she feels about you? Does she genuinely want to marry you?
Don't overthink it, I'm just asking casually. After all, marriage is a big deal, you can't settle for less!"
Lu Fei nodded in understanding, "I know. Although Wu Qian has a bad temper and can sometimes be willful and unreasonable, I just like her and want to treat her well.
Now that she has accepted my proposal, it is the greatest gift from heaven to me.
Besides, if she didn't want to marry me, why would she have accepted my proposal!"
Hearing this, Liu Yifeng knew that no matter what he said, Lu Fei wouldn't listen, and it would only damage their brotherhood.
Then all that was left was to congratulate him, "Okay, then I'll wait to drink your wedding wine. I'll give you a big red envelope then."
"Hahaha, that's a must. But I'm getting married, when are you going to find someone? You can't just keep bringing up your child and not get married, can you?" Lu Fei asked.
Liu Yifeng wasn't in a hurry about his own life event, "I have a son, so what am I afraid of? The family line won't be broken by me. Have you decided on a wedding date?"
"Not yet. I just successfully proposed and couldn't wait to tell you the good news.
Tomorrow I'll go to her house to propose and discuss the bride price.
If everything goes smoothly, we'll get married on National Day. You'll be my best man! That way, you can pick a good girl from the bridesmaid group and make a match for yourself."
After hearing Lu Fei's words, Liu Yifeng couldn't help but laugh, "But aren't best men supposed to be unmarried young men without children? I have a child, how can I be your best man?"
"It's true that you have a child, but you're not married, so you're still a young man. Besides, I don't mind, so what do you have to mind? It's settled, I have to go tell Qiangzi this good news now!" Lu Fei said and hung up the phone.
Liu Yifeng shook his head, "This Lu Fei really can't keep his composure."
However, for some reason, he always felt that something was not quite right, though he couldn't pinpoint what it was.
After watching the old man play a few more games of chess, Liu Yifeng went to pick up Tong Tong from kindergarten.
As soon as Tong Tong returned home, he rushed into the study to conduct experiments, and as he entered the room, he threw out a sentence, "Don't come in and disturb me!"
Even his favorite Dabai was kept outside.
During this time, Dabai clearly felt that its young master had been neglecting it more.
So, it ran to Liu Yifeng's feet, seeking comfort.
Liu Yifeng picked up the pitiful little fellow and petted his head, "Master is very busy, he doesn't have time to play with you!"
Dabai seemed to understand Liu Yifeng's words and immediately stopped looking so pitiful.
Liu Yifeng thought of Liu Dabao's wolfhound and looked at his own harmless and non-threatening Dabai. He felt this wouldn't do, as a guard dog should be fiercer, otherwise it wouldn't serve its purpose of guarding the house.
So he put Dabai on the ground and said, "Dabai, sit!"
Dabai seemed to understand his words and immediately sat down obediently, its tail wagging.
"Get up!"
"Lie down!"
No matter what Liu Yifeng said, Dabai responded to the command.
This surprised Liu Yifeng, who discovered that Dabai seemed to understand human language.
So he picked up Dabai's toy ball and threw it into the yard, "Dabai, go fetch the ball!"
Indeed, Dabai immediately darted out, took the ball in its mouth, and ran back proudly, placing the ball at Liu Yifeng's feet.
In the past, Liu Yifeng had never trained Dabai like this, so he was pleasantly surprised to see Dabai cooperate so well today.
It's just that Dabai's stamina was too poor. After running around the yard once, it was so tired that it was panting with its tongue out.
Looking at the plump Dabai, Liu Yifeng decided to train its physical fitness properly, like a police dog, not only obedient but also with strong combat capability.
Otherwise, Dabai's obedience alone wouldn't be enough to protect them.
So, he kept throwing the small ball back and forth, making Dabai fetch it.
Within ten minutes, Dabai was too tired to run and refused to fetch the ball. It lay by Liu Yifeng's feet, turning its body from side to side, acting cute to beg for mercy.
Seeing Dabai's adorable behavior, Liu Yifeng crouched down and rubbed its belly, "You little fellow is quite smart. Alright, that's enough training for today. Go play by yourself, and we'll continue with the physical training tomorrow!"
Dabai, upon hearing that it could go play, wagged its tail happily, but when it heard that it had to do this again tomorrow, its tail drooped immediately, and its expression became pitiful.
"Acting pitiful won't work. You'll have to have your physical training supervised every day. Look at all the fat on you. When you build up some muscle, you won't have to do physical training anymore!" Liu Yifeng said to Dabai.
Dabai, unhappy that Liu Yifeng called it fat, barked at him disapprovingly.
Liu Yifeng ignored it and prepared to go to Liu Xincheng's orchard. It was already half past five, and he didn't know how many pomelos they had picked. He also planned to pick up his father on the way back.
Before leaving, he saw Tong Tong still adjusting the formula and told him he was going out for a bit and to stay home.
Otherwise, when Tong Tong finished adjusting it, he would be worried to find him not at home.
Tong Tong said, "Okay," and continued to be busy.
He didn't expect that the nutrient solution would be so difficult to concoct, much harder than the soul-returning powder.
However, it was not surprising that it was difficult, given the immense benefits that the nutrient solution brought.
Then, he drove to Liu Xincheng's orchard.
He parked the car outside the orchard, and the wolfhound saw that it was Liu Yifeng and indeed stopped barking.
"Well, discretion is the better part of valor!" Liu Yifeng praised it.
Little did he know that the wolfhound was afraid of him not because of his fierce demeanor with the stone earlier that morning.
