meticulous and frugal

  "This is also my first kiss, you're not at a loss! Who told you to say that I'm timid and afraid to express myself? This is to prove that what you said was wrong." Di Yu chuckled.

  "Is this your first kiss today! Bastard, can't even prove it's my first kiss!" Xǔ Níng Huán was furious and bit down on Dì Yǔ's arm. Previously, Duàn Qí couldn't even get a chance to kiss her, yet she ended up being taken advantage of by Dì Yǔ after just a few meetings, how could she not be angry?

  After biting for a while, Xǔ Níng Huán found that Dì Yǔ Lián didn't even hum, so she curiously looked up at him. She was certain that she had bitten very hard just now and felt her teeth touching the bone, but why didn't Dì Yǔ Lián shout out in pain?

  "Hey, doesn't it hurt?" Xǔ Níng Huán showed concern for him instead.

  "Sorry, I didn't mean to take the joke too far. I didn't know you'd get so angry. But since you've already bitten me till I'm bleeding, shouldn't you calm down now?"

  "Is that blood? Ah, it really is bleeding!" Xǔ Níng Huán rolled up his sleeve and indeed saw a bloody tooth mark. He scolded, "You're like a pig, you didn't even know to cry out in pain when you were bleeding!"

  "Haha, you're really a pig if you call out like that." Di Yu said with a smile.

  "Haha!" Xǔ Níng Huà couldn't think of anything to say, so she just burst out laughing. The two of them made such a ruckus, but actually, she wasn't that angry, it was different from the anger she felt when facing Duàn Qí. She felt that whenever she talked to Dì Yǔ, her mood would always be good.

  Laughing so happily means nothing's wrong, Di Yu let out a sigh of relief. Just now taking advantage of someone like that wasn't right, after all the two weren't very familiar yet.

  Raising the strawberry shortcake in his hand, Di Yu said: "I chose strawberries because of you!"

  "Hey! What's wrong with me? It wasn't even my choice!" Xǔ Níng Huán asked, getting agitated again.

  "Who told you to make me choose between strawberry and lily, if you had banana, I would have chosen banana." Di Yu took a big bite of the strawberry ice cream and wolfed down half of it.

  "What's wrong with lilies? In Christianity, lilies symbolize purity, chastity and innocence, representing sacred love." Xǔ Níng Huán glared.

  "I don't understand this, all I know is that two men are called comrades and only two women are called yuri."

  "Pfft!" Xǔ Níng Huán's ice cream in her mouth had just melted into a pulp, and she spluttered it all out. Glaring furiously, she shouted: "You're the lily, your whole family are lilies!"

  "Hey, you were the one who called me 'comrade' first!!" Di Yu said loudly.

  Xu Ningxuan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly remembered that she had indeed called him "comrade" earlier. She glared at him with her beautiful eyes and huffed: "Are you still a man? You're making such a big deal out of it just to get revenge on me for calling you 'comrade'? How petty!"

  "Hmm, the ice cream tastes good." Di Yu finished his popsicle and wiped his mouth, intentionally changing the subject.

  "Don't think that ice cream is so delicious, later you have to accompany me to clean up the mess and tidy up the room!" Xǔ Níng Huán said with a pleased smile.

  "Really? I thought this ice cream was to thank me for being your boyfriend, and you even wanted me to clean up afterwards. You're really good at getting two things done at once."

  "Hmph! You just molested me, and I've already forgiven you, what more do you want?" Xu Ningxuan thought of being robbed of her first kiss by Di Yu earlier, and her face flushed unnaturally.

  The house Di Yu bought was not big, but it wasn't small either. After cleaning and tidying up the upstairs and downstairs until late at night, he finally returned home.

  "Tiger, I've discussed it with your mom and we're going to finalize everything at the Shen's house tomorrow. Let's get your marriage settled as soon as possible." Di Zhenguo took Di Yu aside to a room alone, to give his son some advice about tomorrow's blind date, just in case something unexpected happens.

  "Dad, you don't have to use mom as an excuse. If you want to travel the world with her, just say so, but do you have to sacrifice my happiness?" Di Yu looked at his father helplessly. When it came to shamelessness, his old man was still the most experienced. He himself wanted to go on a trip around the world and shirk his responsibilities, yet he put his mom in front of him, making it difficult for himself to advance or retreat.

  "Anyway, you deal with it yourself, tomorrow whether we're related or not is up to you, I'm not going to bother with you!" Di Zhen Guo started being unreasonable with his son.

  He said it was Yu Di's idea, but this is actually the most forceful means of coercion against Yu Di.

  He Su Yun was so worried about her son that she cried blind, and if it weren't for the fact that he was getting married, she would have let him marry a mother pig. Di Yu will probably think carefully about this, of course, things won't be that bad.

  But that doesn't mean Di Yu's heart didn't resist, and he clearly knew Yang Qian wouldn't possibly like him, especially after seeing her today and knowing her attitude, he was even more unbelieving. He just couldn't figure out what this girl was thinking in her head, revenge? Or some other purpose?

  Marrying such a woman is like tying a bomb around your own waist.

  "Also, starting tomorrow you go to the company to work, after I leave with your mom you take my place. In name I am still the Executive Vice President of Huabai Group, in reality it's you—"

  "No way! I won't agree to this!"

  This time Di Yu was very determined and didn't wait for Di Zhen Guo to finish speaking, hastily shaking his head and saying: "I'm not going to the company, I have no interest."

  "Not going to the company? You're not going to take care of such a big family business, and I'll go traveling with your mom, who will handle it?" Di Zhen Guo's face sank.

  "Dad! Stop pretending, our family's business is all under the name of Huabai Group. Even if you wash your hands of it, there will be Uncle and Fourth Uncle to help you deal with it. And isn't there also Little Sister? She said she would take over the company!"

  He can't muster up the interest and energy to take over the company, otherwise such a large organization wouldn't be disbanded so easily. Moreover, he had heard that Di Yun had said that all matters of the group were entrusted under the name of Hua Bai Group, so whether he takes over or not has little impact.

  "You little scamp! No matter what the old man decides, our family's burden will still have to be passed down to you. What difference does it make whether it's sooner or later?" Di Zhenguos couldn't understand why his son wasn't interested in taking over the family business at all, even though he only owned 10% of Huabai Group's shares, but the total assets exceeded tens of billions.

  However, he didn't have the idea of hating iron for not becoming steel. He was determined to get rid of this burden and also wanted a peaceful life. He had no interest in competing with his elder brother and fourth younger brother for control of the Huabai Group. Now that the old man was about to pass away, he left at this time, besides wanting to spend a happy late years with his wife, it was also to show that he had no intention of competing.

  "Dad, don't be so feudal, okay? In today's society, it's not necessary to only pass things down to sons and not daughters. My sister has a talent for business, I believe the company would be in good hands with her, and who knows, she might even manage it better than you!"

  Di Yu tried his best to make his sister sound like she was from heaven and earth, the possibility of turning down the blind date was not great, as for company matters he refused to participate even if you killed him.

  "You this kid——" Di Zhen Guo was very helpless, the words were spoken like that, but no matter what men are still influenced by tradition in some way, and it shows up in different places, especially when it comes to the issue of men and women, there is always a little bit of chauvinism lurking beneath the surface.

  "What are you father and son talking about that's making you so happy?" - He Suyun came in from outside, a smile on her face, looking like she was in a good mood.

  "Mom, is this blind date thing..."

  "Ah, that... I was just discussing with Tiger where to eat tomorrow. We were thinking of inviting Old Shen's family to Qin Garden, but Qin Garden is too popular and all the seats are already taken for tomorrow." Di Zhengu interrupted Di Yu, winking at him.

  Hehe, it seems that Old Shen's daughter is not bad, you father and son can't wait. But this is also good, as parents, we want to see our children get married and have children, the sooner the better, my husband and I can also rest assured earlier. By the way, Hu'er, what were you going to say just now?

  "Oh, nothing. I was just saying that blind dates should be... more serious. Qin Garden is great, so let's invite Shen Uncle and his family there instead. Qin Garden is a restaurant opened by one of my classmates, they should have a table available." Di Yu felt helpless, very helpless, seeing the expectant smile on his mom's face, he couldn't bring himself to say that blind dates weren't suitable for him.

  Di Zhen Guo looked at his son with appreciation, but since Di Yu's matter had not been settled, their plan to travel together as a couple had to be cancelled.

  But he didn't feel guilty about it; there was a deeper meaning behind his arrangement.
