"I know, you still don't believe me. I'm not a dog reincarnated to pounce on any woman I see.
Besides, it wasn't because Sister Li was infatuated with me that she specifically sent fried chicken. She was simply showing gratitude. Don't think of your son as a ladies' man."
"You have no idea, son. Ever since our family started making money, people from the village have been coming to arrange marriages for you every other day.
But their conditions were all very ordinary, so I turned them all down."
"Really? That happened? If there are any more marriage proposals, Dad, you can continue to reject them for me. I don't have any plans to get married for now." It wasn't that he had no plans to get married, but rather that he wanted to find someone himself.
"You're not young anymore. If you find someone suitable, you can meet them. It won't take much time. It's getting late, I'll go make dinner for you!"
With that, Liu Chunsheng walked towards the kitchen. Liu Yifeng remembered something and said, "Dad, Tongtong and I have already eaten outside. Just make something for yourself!"
"Why did you eat out again? How can food outside be as clean and hygienic as home-cooked meals?" Liu Chunsheng said.
"Tongtong wanted to eat pizza, so I took him. But Ms. Xu treated us," Liu Yifeng explained.
Upon hearing this, Liu Chunsheng didn't say anything further. "Then I won't cook. I'll go eat at your third uncle's place later. It's less trouble than cooking myself. I can also tell them about the payroll for tomorrow, otherwise, they'll start to worry."
Liu Yifeng smiled and said, "Even if I don't pay anyone else, I wouldn't not pay them!"
"That's what you say, but you know how much your third uncle and aunt value money. Until the money is in their hands, they won't feel at ease!"
Seeing this, Liu Yifeng nodded. "Alright, then Dad, you go ahead. Come back early after dinner!"
"Okay, I'll be back after dinner. When Tongtong comes out of the study later, remember to give him a bath!"
"Got it!"
Eight o'clock in the evening, at Zhao Dewang's house.
Zhao Qing knew her brother would wake up at eight o'clock, so she hadn't left. She stayed in the living room with her father, waiting.
As for Caizi, they found her too noisy and locked her directly in the storage room.
Zhao Dewang kept looking at the clock on the wall. "It's already eight o'clock. Why hasn't Shubo woken up yet?"
"Dad, don't worry. Didn't Tongtong say he would wake up around eight? He didn't say exactly eight, so let's wait a bit longer.
But the tranquilizer drug that Tongtong developed is really effective. If I have insomnia someday, I'll ask him for some!"
As they were talking, Zhao Shubo's voice came from the room. "Water, give me water!"
They both immediately got up and went into Zhao Shubo's room.
They saw Zhao Shubo sitting on the bed, trying to get up, but he couldn't muster any strength. He looked a bit weak.
Seeing that Shubo had woken up, Zhao Dewang and Zhao Qing were overjoyed. Their hearts, which had been hanging, finally relaxed.
"Shubo, you're awake. Do you feel any discomfort anywhere?" Zhao Qing asked with concern.
At this moment, the nanny brought a cup of boiled water and handed it to Zhao Shubo.
Zhao Shubo took it and drank it in a hurry, finishing the entire cup of water in one go before stopping.
"Dad, Sister, why am I lying in bed?" Zhao Shubo's memory was still stuck at lunch.
"Do you know you were enchanted by a love蛊?" Zhao Dewang said directly.
Zhao Shubo looked confused. "Love蛊? What love蛊?"
"I ask you, do you still want to marry that woman from Country R?" Zhao Dewang asked.
"Dad, are you joking? Marry a woman from Country R? How is that possible?"
Seeing that Zhao Shubo had no memory of these things, Zhao Dewang asked the nanny to bring Caizi over.
Caizi, at this moment, was acting crazy. She stood there giggling to herself, occasionally drooling a bit.
Zhao Shubo found the disheveled woman disgusting. "Dad, isn't that Caizi? Why has she become like this?"
His memory wasn't gone, but his feelings for this woman had been completely erased. He only knew that such a person existed.
Seeing Zhao Shubo look at Caizi as if she were an insignificant person, Zhao Qing said, "Shubo, this woman cast a love蛊 on you, do you know?
If it weren't for Mr. Liu's son who broke the love蛊 for you at noon, you would be marrying this woman next week."
"Love蛊? What love蛊? How come I don't know? Besides, even if I can't find a wife, I would never marry someone like her?" Zhao Shubo looked at Caizi with utter disdain.
Zhao Dewang and Zhao Qing knew that Shubo had completely broken free from the love蛊 and no longer had such feelings for this woman.
"The months you spent inspecting the company in Country R were when this woman cast a love蛊 on you. She even made you bring her to our country, and you almost cut ties with Dad to marry her.
All of this was because this woman cast a love蛊 on you, clouding your mind.
Now that you have removed the love蛊 from your body, you don't remember anything related to her.
But if you don't believe me, you can go to your company and see if all the employees know that this woman is your fiancée and that you were about to marry her."
Seeing that his sister didn't seem to be lying, Zhao Shubo became incredibly angry. "This woman is too audacious! How dare she use such underhanded methods.
I even brought her to my company, making all the employees think I would marry her. Anyone who didn't know would think I'm blind!"
"Fortunately, the love蛊 on you has been removed, otherwise your entire life would have been ruined by this woman.
However, this woman has gone mad. It's best to hand her over to the police, and let them arrange for her deportation. What happens to her over there is her own business," Zhao Qing said.
Zhao Shubo slowly regained his composure. "Then let's do that. Dad, I'll go on blind dates tomorrow. You find me some women with good family backgrounds and conditions. If there are any suitable ones, I'll marry them."
His words made both of them excited.
Zhao Dewang was even happier than a child. "Good, leave this to Dad. I guarantee you'll have a wife you adore."
With that, he eagerly started making phone calls. He had several good friends who had offered to arrange marriages for him!
Looking at his elated father, Zhao Qing also felt genuinely happy. "Dad is almost seventy years old, and he has been looking forward to this day. It has finally come.
You should also settle down. You can't always be busy with your career. You need your own family for a complete life!"
"I know. By the way, Sister, did you thank the person who removed the love蛊 for me properly? Let's invite them over to the house another day, and I'll thank them properly in person!" Zhao Shubo said.
Zhao Qing smiled and said, "To thank Tongtong for removing your love蛊, Dad gave away his beloved calligraphy and painting by Wang Xizhi.
But if you want to thank him in person, wait until Sunday. That child will be coming to learn calligraphy from Dad, and it's not too late to thank him then!"
Her words stunned Zhao Shubo. "Tongtong? You mean the little kindergarten disciple that Dad took in some time ago? The child from that father and son pair who came to our house at noon today?"
"Yes, it's him. This child is no ordinary child. Without him, you wouldn't have recovered so quickly. Be good to this child in the future!"
After receiving his sister's affirmation, Zhao Shubo still found it hard to accept that such a young child understood such things!
