After Catching The Rich And Old-Fashioned Daddy Chapter 25
byChapter 25 Wedding Ring
Daddy is getting married (contains 3000 nutrient solution plus more updates)
Li Chu was startled for a moment, then slowly frowned, thinking about this issue seriously.
Growing up, he made many decisions by himself because he lost his parents very early.He can’t guarantee that he will be right every time, he just hopes that he can try not to regret it.
The young man’s eyes were filled with warm light, and his eyes were like an ignorant and docile little sheep.Shao Tingyue just looked at him like a very patient hunter.
He is a man with normal physiological needs and wants to be intimate with the person he likes, which is reasonable.
You have to do it sooner or later, so it’s better to have long-term pain than short-term pain!
After struggling for a while, Li Chu made a decision in his heart, then raised his face and took the initiative to kiss the man on the lips.
This was the first time that he actually took the initiative to kiss Shao Tingyue.
The soft touch was fleeting, but it made Shao Tingyue’s heart palpitate more than any fierce kiss.
He breathed deeply, suppressing the disappointment of not being satisfied. The child’s rejection was obvious. This kiss was compensation and a consolation prize.
Ever since Shao Tingyue could remember, almost everything he wanted was at his fingertips.Mrs. Shao gave birth to him at the age of 40. All the media in Hong Kong secretly laughed at her for giving birth to a baby. She was still chasing a second child at such an old age, and she couldn’t bear a lot of pain during the birth.
Therefore, his father, Shao Licheng, was particularly tolerant of him and gave him the tenderness between father and son that his eldest brother had never enjoyed.
In his smooth life, except for the death of his father and brother, he had never encountered such a problem as Li Chu.
Just like what my friend Zhong Yili said when he repeatedly encountered obstacles in his pursuit of Huo Zhiqing, and went to drink with him and cry bitterly: “To like someone is to find your own retribution in the vast sea of people.”
Shao Tingyue touched Li Chu’s lips with his fingertips: “It doesn’t matter, I can give you time to adapt to me. But… I hope you know that this period will not be long.”
Li Chu blinked: “?”
He even took the initiative to kiss him!Isn’t this obvious enough?
“Second uncle, I…”
When the words reached his lips, Li Chu swallowed them back, and the courage he had finally built up was lost.
Okay, let’s just make it right.
Li Chu couldn’t help but put away his ears. He felt guilty for a while and felt lucky to have escaped.
Shao Ting said nothing more, his deep eyes darkened a little more, then he took a deep breath, pressed Li Chu against the entrance cabinet and kissed him restrainedly…
They didn’t separate until they were almost out of oxygen.
Shao Tingyue closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, most of the surging darkness in his eyes had been forcibly suppressed.
He took the limp Li Chu off the cabinet, held him firmly in his arms and walked towards the bathroom.
Li Chu was startled, and subconsciously hugged his neck, saying in a panic: “Do, what?”
Shao Tingyue lowered his head and looked at his nervous eyelashes that were trembling and his lips were slightly swollen. His Adam’s apple rolled, “It’s just a shower.”
He walked into the spacious bathroom, placed Li Chu on the sink, and turned on the heater. “After flying for more than ten hours, I look like a dirty little pig.”
Shao Tingyue put water in the bathtub for him, felt that the water temperature was suitable, and then went to get pajamas and cotton mops.
Li Chu stared blankly at his busy figure, feeling like something pinched his heart, feeling sore and soft.
After preparing everything, Shao Ting found that the child had been staring at him, wondering what he was thinking.
He deliberately teased him: “Want me to wash with you?”
Li Chu came to his senses and almost fell off the sink. He quickly blushed and shook his head: “I, I wash it myself.”
It was really tiring after more than ten hours of flying. Some natural flower petals and marjoram were put in the water. Li Chu took a bath for a while and hummed comfortably.
After playing with bath bubbles for a while, Li Chu got dressed and slowly moved out.
The little dirty pig became a little fragrant pig.
Her cheeks were flushed red by the hot water, and her semi-dried hair was softly attached to her forehead. Her whole figure was like a shelled hard-boiled egg, exuding a clean and warm luster.
The pajamas were a little loose, and a small piece of collarbone that was pinkened by the heat was exposed at the neckline.
In the bedroom, Shao Tingyue was sitting behind the desk by the fireplace working. He heard the voice and looked up at him, then looked away restrainedly: “There is a midnight snack sent by the butler on the table. If you are hungry, you can have some.”
Li Chu responded and walked to the round table to sit down.
He originally thought that it would be difficult to eat authentic Chinese food in a foreign country, but he didn’t expect that what was on the table was two classic Cantonese sweet soups, bird’s nest almond dew.
Li Chu picked up the spoon and took a sip. While eating, he secretly looked at Shao Tingyue behind the desk.
Several paper documents were spread out on the table.
An equity acquisition in the UK port of Felixstowe.The terms are complex and involve the deployment of hundreds of millions of pounds of funds.Although shipping has entered a period of decline in recent years, it is still the foundation of Shaw’s business.During this trip to Europe, there are still several large-scale transport ships and deep-sea supply ship contracts worth over 100 million to negotiate.
After also experiencing a long flight, Shao Tingyue didn’t seem tired at all. His eyes quickly scanned the terms on the document, and he occasionally made a few notes on it with a pen.
Li Chu finished the last mouthful of sweet soup, licked the corners of his mouth, hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked towards the desk.
“Second uncle…it’s very late. Do you want to take a rest? Have something to eat?”
When he spoke, his breath was full of sweet fragrance, like a humanoid mobile trap, but his expression was always so simple, ignorant, and without any desire.
Shao Tingyue felt his eyebrows beating.
When BOBO was first brought back to the Shao Mansion many years ago, he received professional concentration training: putting delicious raw meat within his reach, allowing him to restrain his natural tendency to pounce on food, endure temptation, and learn absolute obedience.
At this moment, Shao Ting felt that there was no essential difference between himself and BOBO back then.
The young man’s clear eyes, gentle body, unconscious dependence, even resistance and teasing… all challenge his proud reason and self-control.
He wants to.
The blood is clamoring for it silently, wanting to possess it immediately, to mark it, so that the young man’s body and mind are completely infected with his own scent, and there is no possibility of escaping.
He closed his eyes, suppressed the roiling desires, and said in a low voice: “Have you eaten?”
“Yeah.” Li Chu nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable when he saw her.
“Then go to sleep.”
As the night wore on, the manor fell into silence.
Li Chu couldn’t sleep, tossing and turning in Shao Tingyue’s arms, like a fried fish that was impatient.
At first, it was just a small turn, but then the movements became larger and larger, and his knee accidentally hit a dangerous area of the man. Shao Ting became more and more intolerable, and finally——
“Crack.”
A crisp sound sounded in the bedroom.
Li Chu’s whole body froze, and there was an incredible pain in his buttocks. He couldn’t help but reach out and touch it.
He, he was spanked just now?
From childhood to adulthood, Li Chu had never been spanked by anyone in his entire life!Even when my parents disciplined me when I was young, the most they could do was clap their hands with a ruler!
Li Chu’s cheeks instantly turned red in the darkness. He looked up at Shao Tingyue in the shadows, and his voice was embarrassed and annoyed: “Second, second uncle! You…how could you hit me…”
Shao Ting suppressed his breath more and more, still recalling the touch on his palm: “Sleep, be good.”
Li Chu bit his lip, not knowing what to say, and turned around angrily.Then I remembered something and hid in a corner with my pillow in my arms.
The more Shao Ting had seen him sleeping, he was afraid that the child would fall asleep.Foreigners’ beds are extremely high. Even if there is a carpet underneath, it will be painful to fall off.So he wrapped his arms around him and carried the person back easily.
Li Chu struggled in his arms, and the man’s voice was low and threatening: “If you move again, I will take off my pants and beat you.”
“I can’t sleep.” The young man’s voice was small and a little aggrieved.I guess I haven’t gotten used to the jet lag yet, plus I slept too much on the plane.
Shao Tingyue clasped his lower back with his palms and whispered: “Can’t you sleep? Do you want to do something else?”
This trick worked as expected. Li Chu immediately closed his eyes and curled up into a small shrimp, motionless.
But in fact, he still had insomnia. Later, Shao Tingyue picked him up and paced back and forth in the bedroom like a baby. When it was almost dawn, Li Chu finally fell asleep.
…
The next day, Li Chu woke up in the warm sunshine in a room.
The bedroom was very quiet, with only a few crisp birdsong outside the window and the rustling of the treetops in the distance being blown by the wind.
He rubbed his eyes and sat up, finding a note on the bedside table.It was left by Shao Tingyue, and Li Chu tried hard to understand the sonorous and powerful traditional Chinese characters.
The general content is that he and the guy named Ryan went out to talk about something, and asked him to stay in the manor and not run around. If he was bored, he could ask the butler to arrange a show.
Li Chu washed up and went downstairs. The butler was already waiting in the restaurant with a decent smile.There is a typical English breakfast and Cantonese dim sum on the long dining table.
Harris poured him tea and explained with a smile: “Mr. Shao was worried that your taste would not be used to Western food, so he specially hired a Chinese chef.”
Li Chu stayed for a few seconds and finally knew where the sweet soup last night came from.
In fact, Shao Tingyue was very busy. After a long-distance flight of more than ten hours, he still had the energy to review the documents after landing at the manor, and then held him for most of the night.
Then, he went out at dawn, and Li Chu didn’t even know when he left.
My heart suddenly felt a little sour.
After breakfast, Li Chu took a casual walk around the manor.
The lawn is trimmed like green velvet, the lake sparkles in the sun, and the tropical plant garden exudes the fragrant aroma of precious flowers and plants.
Everything is beautiful except no one.
Apart from the servants and housekeepers, he was the only one in the huge manor, and he started to feel bored after only half a day.
Harris, who has been a professional butler for 30 years, is in trouble.
He remembered that the owner of the manor, Mr. Shao, the all-powerful oriental man, mentioned when he went out that he wanted to report on the boy’s daily diet and daily life.
The little master now looks gloomy and looks like he is about to fall asleep due to boredom, although he has just woken up.
Although Mr. Shao did not mention their relationship, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he cared very much about the young man in front of him.
Harris thought hard for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He stepped forward and said respectfully: “Sir, a new Shetland pony was born in the west stable recently. It is very lively and cute. Do you want to come with me and take a look?”
The stable is located on the west side of the manor. It is a beautiful red brick building. It looks clean and tidy inside, and there is no unpleasant smell.
In one of the stalls, a small, stocky, brown and white pony was tapping its hooves restlessly.
Li Chu lay on the fence and greeted him with a crooked eyebrow: “Hello, baby pony.”
Seeing someone coming, the colt shook its thick mane proudly, let out a childish neigh, and looked over curiously with its big black eyes.
“It’s called Lulu.” The accompanying groom introduced with a smile, “It has just turned three months old, which is the best time to move.”
Li Chu couldn’t help but smile when he heard the name. Do the Shao family like to give animals superlative names?
He tentatively stretched out his hand, and the colt Lulu hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to come over and lightly touched his palm with her wet nose, feeling itchy.
Li Chu couldn’t help laughing.
Harris saw the young man smiling next to him, he breathed a sigh of relief and straightened his waist.
…
In the conference room, hours of intense discussions had just come to an end.
On one side of the long solid wood table, Shao Tingyue held a pen in his hand and signed his name on the thick last page of the agreement.
Opposite him, Sir Richard Fishman, CEO of the partner British Maritime Group, had stood up, smiled and extended his hand to him.
“Ting, it’s a pleasure to work with you.” Sir Richard is over 50 years old, and his gray hair is meticulously combed: “Your team has the same vision as you, sharp and accurate.”
“Both each other, Richard.” Shao Tingyue also stood up and shook hands with him, firmly.
“By the way.” Sir Richard suddenly remembered something and smiled enthusiastically: “There is a Royal Charity Auction Dinner tonight at the Flash Hotel. I believe you have also received an invitation? If it is convenient for you, Ting, please be sure to attend. Several partners will also be present, so we can have a few drinks together.”
Shao Tingyue nodded slightly: “Of course, see you at the dinner, Richard.”
The crystal chandelier illuminated the banquet hall like daylight, with fragrant clothes and shadows on the temples.
Gentlemen, ladies, political and business figures from London’s upper class gathered together.
Shao Tingyue changed into a classic black dress, with a tall and straight figure and a calm gaze.
Not many people with oriental faces like him can appear on such occasions.Everyone was secretly sizing up this young shipping king from Hong Kong Island and did not dare to underestimate him.
Richard enthusiastically introduced several partners, and after Shao Tingyue chatted with them one by one and had a drink, the auction finally began.
Although it is a charity auction, tonight’s auction items are all rare and exquisite.
From famous paintings, antique furniture to royal jewelry, Shao Tingyue has little interest in these.
Richard also joked: “There are so many lots and there is nothing you like? Ting is going to leave empty-handed tonight.”
Until the auctioneer showed the last lot, a pair of antique rings as the finale.
“It comes from the 1880s, a sapphire ring made in the Victorian era, a pair of companion rings, one of which is a classic oval-cut Kashmir sapphire. The other is designed in the shape of a rare sapphire butterfly. The main sapphire stone in the middle weighs 5 carats. The butterfly wings are made of fine sapphires and diamonds. The shape is flexible and extraordinary. The starting price is eight million pounds.”
Following the auctioneer’s introduction, the exhibits were pushed to the stage. On the dark velvet cushion, two rings shone under the light, magnificent and dazzling.
Shao Tingyue’s eyes fell on the butterfly ring.
Inexplicably, he thought of Li Chu, light and beautiful, which made him involuntarily think of Li Chu in the palm of his hand.
The bidding started, but because the price was so high, there were only a few people holding placards.
Shao Tingyue withdrew his thoughts, his eyes were calm, and he waited until the other bidders had almost reached their bids, then nodded gently to Ryan beside him to signal his bid.
“Nine million.”
The whole place was slightly silent, and their eyes turned to the oriental face that suddenly appeared.
I saw his expression was calm, and he looked like he was determined to win.
A woman not far away hesitated for a moment and raised her sign again to increase the price by 500,000.
Shao Tingyue’s expression did not change, and his assistant raised the sign again: “Ten million.”
This time, no one answered.
The auctioneer dropped the hammer: “Ten million pounds, sold! Congratulations to this gentleman!”
Sir Richard raised his eyebrows and chuckled in a low voice: “Ting, I didn’t expect you to be interested in antique jewelry. This pair of rings is very special. Are they intended to be wedding rings? It seems that I want to congratulate you in advance on your good news.”
Shao Tingyue spent tens of millions of pounds in a few minutes without feeling any distress. He was thinking about when to give it to the child. Hearing this, he smiled and said, “That’s my plan.”
Sir Richard’s face was even more surprised. He didn’t expect the other party to respond so directly, and said quickly: “Oh! Congratulations, this is really great news! You must send an invitation then. I can’t wait to know which beauty has won your heart. She must be very beautiful!”
Shao Tingyue pursed his lips slightly and showed a wry smile: “Definitely, but he is still too young. It may take two years.”
Richard was startled for a moment. The banquet was so noisy that he just seemed to hear Ting say “him”.
He probably heard it wrong, so he smiled and raised his glass, “Understood, good things are worth waiting for. Ting, congratulations again!”
Shao Tingyue thanked him, raised his glass and touched it lightly with Sir Richard.
…
Shao Tingyue has been out running errands for several days, and has not returned to the manor during this period.
Li Chugang felt okay at first, but he was a little uncomfortable when sleeping at night.The room was too big and too quiet. He always thought of many ghost stories about medieval castles. Fortunately, he would eventually fall asleep due to insomnia.
Humans are really strange animals.
Li Chu remembered that he could sleep peacefully in a dilapidated and narrow single room with a bed as hard as stone.
Now…why not?
Everything is fine in the manor, and Harris and the servants take good care of him.When he was bored, he would play with Lulu, or go to the orchard behind to pick blueberries.
In the morning, I also went to a farm near the manor. There were several newborn lambs there. Li Chu couldn’t put them down while holding them, and was bumped several times by the sheep’s mother.
…
The afternoon sun shines through the lace curtains, casting lazy light spots on the bedroom floor.
Li Chu lay on the recliner, holding a book in his hand and falling asleep.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and it was the voice of housekeeper Harris: “Sir, there is a call here from someone who calls herself Miss Pearl. She has called several times in a row, saying that she must speak to you about something very urgent…”
Miss Pearl?Shao Mingzhu?
Li Chu’s sleepyhead immediately ran away and ran to open the door. Harris was standing in the corridor with a wireless phone in his hand: “The call has been connected, young sir.”
Li Chu took the receiver and before he started talking, Shao Mingzhu’s voice broke with excitement on the other end of the phone: “Chu Zai! Is it you Chu Zai?! Oh my god! I finally found you! Have you heard about it?! Shocking news!”
Li Chu was shocked to the point that his ears were numb, and he took the receiver farther away, “…Sister Mingzhu? What’s wrong? What’s the news?”
“My second brother! Shao Tingyue!” Shao Mingzhu was trembling with excitement and spoke as fast as a cannon, “He’s getting married! Oh my god! The news is going crazy on Hong Kong Island! Newspapers and radio stations are all talking about it! They say that he spent a lot of money on a top-notch dinner party in London and bought a pair of priceless antique sapphire wedding rings! It is said to be a collection of a nobleman, and it is so romantic! The focus is on the wedding ring! The wedding ring!”
Li Chu held the receiver and froze on the spot.
The afternoon sun was still shining warmly on him, but he suddenly felt a little cold.
Shao Mingzhu was still chattering on the other end of the phone: “Which super beautiful woman can win over my second brother!! I don’t know which daughter is so powerful! She didn’t let out any news!! That’s too much, second brother! I’m in London, why didn’t he take me with him!”
“Chu Tsai? Chu Tsai? Are you listening? Why don’t you talk? You usually spend a lot of time with my second brother!! Do you know the inside story? Speak, Chu Tsai bb! No, no, no, I have to go and find out…”
Li Chu was stunned for a while and then realized that Shao Mingzhu had hung up the phone.
His ears were ringing. Shao Tingyue had been saying a few days ago that their relationship had no expiration date.
In the blink of an eye, the wedding rings were all bought.
Antique wedding rings?
Shao Tingyue… is getting married?
