our castle

While Wen Zhenhua was taking a bath, the burden of coaxing Wendy to sleep fell on Tang Xiangxi's shoulders.Lying on Wendy's bed, Tang Xiangxi exaggeratedly said: "The Elf Prince and Thumbelina lived happily ever after!"

It's all stories about princes and princesses living happily together. Every time Tang Xiangxi tells it, she complains in her heart. Under the influence of Tang Xiangxi, Wendy also has doubts about such stories.

"Why do they live happily together?" Wendy asked curiously, tilting her head.Um...why do difficult problems always face themselves?

Tang Xiangxi has completely forgotten that a large part of Wendy's current personality is influenced by herself. "That's because they fell in love at first sight." Although it was a bit perfunctory, that was the truth of the matter.

"What is love at first sight?" Wendy's question wanted to make things difficult for Tang Xiangxi.

"Love at first sight, love at first sight is... How should I put it, that is, for example, Thumbelina will shout at night that the prince doesn't like to be clean, but when they met each other, they fell in love with each other completely without knowing it. You see, They just don't know each other very well yet, but they still like each other. Look, if they find out about each other's problems in the future, their lives will be very painful, right?"

"Hmm." Wendy thought for a while, and seemed to be able to imagine the future life of the elf prince and Thumbelina.

"So Wendy will tell Daddy no matter who she likes in the future, and Daddy will help you check it first!" Tang Xiangxi strikes while the iron is hot, and absolutely cannot let Wendy hide that she has someone she likes.

"But Dad told me that if you like someone, you have to embrace everything about him." Wendy looked at Tang Xiangxi very firmly, "So every time Dad throws clothes around and makes a mess at home, Dad will bear with you I tolerate you cleaning for you, because Dad likes you, right?"

Wendy's words were very straightforward, but Tang Xiangxi felt that the words were very nice, and agreed with her a little intoxicated.But what Wendy said next hurt his heart a bit.

"But Daddy has never tolerated Daddy... No, Daddy is very good, Daddy has always been helping Daddy, Daddy has never helped Daddy, Daddy, don't you like Daddy? "

Tang Xiangxi only felt that his mind was in a mess, and he shook his head in a panic, "No, no, how could I..." How could I not like him.Tang Xiangxi felt that he couldn't say this sentence anyway, and felt that something terrible would happen if he said it.

"Wendy, let's not talk about this, let's play a game?" Tang Xiangxi felt that he didn't have the courage to face such a problem, so he decided to change the subject first, "How about the memory game?"

As for the prize, Tang Xiangxi secretly took out a bag of chocolates, and Wendy took the bait without confidence.

"Let's have a competition to see how Wendy's memory is. Then, how about we first recall the whispers Wendy and Dad whispered in the morning?" If we didn't do this, Wendy would definitely not say it.

"In the morning, in the morning, I talked to dad a lot. There are secrets with dad. For dinner, dad will come to pick me up. There are also chocolates, ah, and about Heizi's friends!" Sure enough, Wendy didn't know that she The secret has been revealed.

Heizi's friend... Tang Xiangxi thought for a moment, then asked uncertainly: "You mean that alien in Building B who always haunts Wen Zhenhua?"

"That's not it!" Wendy gave Tang Xiangxi a very disgusted look, "Daddy's memory is really bad, it was the person in the park last time, the park where Wendy saw Heizi for the first time. The man next to Tee!"

Tang Xiangxi suddenly remembered that there was indeed a person wearing a khaki jacket beside Wendy at that time, but he didn't see the other person's appearance, and the person ran away after hearing his voice.

"Then Wendy, what does that Heizi's friend look like?" Tang Xiangxi thought for a long time but couldn't figure out who the other party would be. When he turned around and wanted to ask Wendy, he found that his daughter had fallen asleep clutching the chocolate.

Tang Xiangxi helped Wendy cover the quilt. Now that Heizi's friend has been extracted from her daughter, all that is left is to question Wen Zhenhua.

Tang Xiangxi rushed out of Wendy's room aggressively, just in time for Wen Zhenhua to come out with wet hair.

Seeing Tang Xiangxi's appearance, Wen Zhenhua was a little strange, and hung the towel on the back of the chair, "What's wrong?"

Tang Xiangxi kept approaching Wen Zhenhua, and finally supported Wen Zhenhua by the wall with his arms outstretched. "Wen Zhenhua! How many things are you hiding from me!"

Wen Zhenhua was startled by Tang Xiangxi's sudden questioning, he was stunned for a long time before he stammered, "No...no."

"No?" Tang Xiangxi's face was almost close to Wen Zhenhua's.

Wen Zhenhua could almost feel Tang Xiangxi's heavy breathing on his face because of his anger, he tried to push Tang Xiangxi away with some resistance, but he lost his strength because of his next questioning, and just stopped on his chest stupidly .

"You still said no, it's the man in the park!" Tang Xiangxi grabbed Wen Zhenhua's rejecting hand to prevent him from escaping.

The guy in the park?Wen Zhenhua really didn't realize what was going on at first, Tang Xiangxi felt that he had done something wrong by pressing Wen Zhenhua like this for a moment with his innocent expression.

But Wen Zhenhua immediately understood who the man in the park was.Wen Zhenhua felt that his bribery behavior this morning was completely a waste of effort, but he still couldn't let Tang Xiangxi know...

"The man in the park, what are you talking about, I don't know." Wen Zhenhua kept laughing, trying to get away with it.

Tang Xiangxi continued to approach Wen Zhenhua, "You still want to lie to me? Wendy even said that she invited that person to her home to play last time. How dare you tell me that you don't know?"

Tang Xiangxi's question became more and more pointed, and Wen Zhenhua felt his entire back covered in cold sweat.At this time, Wen Zhenhua suddenly changed his attitude and pushed Tang Xiangxi away.

Under Tang Xiangxi's surprised gaze, Wen Zhenhua tried his best to act more sharply, "Who is that person you asked me?" Under the influence of so many years of habit, Tang Xiangxi would subconsciously shrink back whenever he saw Wen Zhenhua's serious appearance, this time it was even more serious. It went directly to the refrigerator.

"Nearby, the aunts in the store and the uncle passing by, as long as Wendy who plays with Heizi calls them Heizi's friends, how do I know who they are? Are you trying to find out the other party's details? Do you want me to follow their instructions? Your last name will help you arrange the order of investigation!"

Although Wen Zhenhua usually looks gentle, but his strength is not weak, Tang Xiangxi felt the pain in his chest from being poked by him, so he had to say aggrievedly: "I am also concerned about our daughter's emotional life!"

Although it's a bit too much, but the starting point is still good...Wen Zhenhua held Tang Xiangxi's shoulders and pressed him to a chair and sat down, "I know you care about Wendy, but she's fine, and she can't get along with her emotional life. Instead of caring about your daughter's emotional life, it's better to take care of yourself first."

"Me? What could be wrong with me?"

"Are you going to tell me that you haven't noticed Yingfan's feelings for you?" Wen Zhenhua felt that he had to intervene in this matter, at least let Tang Xiangxi face it.

"What are you talking about?" Tang Xiangxi looked a little embarrassed, and walked to the balcony as if evading, Wen Zhenhua took two cans of beer and walked to the balcony.

"Don't pretend to be stupid." Rubbing Tang Xiangxi's shoulder, Tang Xiangxi took the can of beer a little unhappily.

Tang Xiangxi stared at Wen Zhenhua for a long time, but Wen Zhenhua always just drank beer and smiled at him.He knows he is waiting.

Finally Tang Xiangxi sighed as if surrendering, looked up at the stars, and said blankly: "How could you not know."

"Of course I know Yingfan's feelings for me, I knew it a long time ago.

It's just... Yingfan has always been my good friend and good partner. I can say that she is the lucky star of my career. I still remember that if she hadn't put all her money into helping me at the beginning, she wouldn't be here now. There is this law firm.

So for so long, I have invested all my experience in my career and family. On the one hand, I want to get the office on the right track as soon as possible, and on the other hand, I have to take care of Wendy. Thanks to you, I am not exhausted.

Being so busy and tired, I naturally don't think about things like feelings.I am very grateful to Yingfan, but... I also subconsciously hope that Yingfan will give up on me during these years of waiting, I hope she can't stand my silence..."

This was the first time that Tang Xiangxi frankly told him about his understanding of this relationship. He took the empty wine can in Tang Xiangxi's hand and handed him the half-drunk beer, but Tang Xiangxi took it without any surprise.

"However, behind the silence and waiting, there may be hope or despair. Yingfan is a strong woman, but she is also very dreamy. Isn't what she insists on is that little hope?"

Wen Zhenhua thought of Yingfan's smiling face, and before he knew it, they were both in their thirties, it had been such a long time.

Wen Zhenhua's words seemed to stab Tang Xiangxi's heart, he pinched the wine jar in pain, "I know."

"Don't you want to find a time to explain clearly to her?" Wen Zhenhua asked tentatively.

"I know."

Tang Xiangxi's answer was as vague as ever, and Wen Zhenhua couldn't help thinking of the time in college. At that time, Tang Xiangxi, a famous playboy, lived among thousands of flowers. He could deal with women perfectly, but he still couldn't give those women a good one. answer.

After breaking up countless times, no matter those women were strong or shed tears, Tang Xiangxi was still unable to answer their desperate questions. Tang Xiangxi knew how to love others, but she never took that step, and never went deep into her feelings.

"Do you love me?"

Tang Xiangxi could never answer.

The author has something to say: I hope everyone will not blame me for writing Father Tang as such a hesitant person

In fact, every time I look at Tang Xiangxi's worries about the showdown, I will unconsciously put myself in the

I subconsciously think, if I were Tang Xiangxi, and I really regarded myself as Tang Xiangxi, would I be able to reject Jiang Yingfan so unfeelingly? For a good partner of ten years, Tang Xiangxi, or me, it is impossible not to have a little bit of tender feelings, I will definitely hesitate whether to make it clear.

This is the so-called obsession with the authorities, and the bystanders are clear, but they don't know that the bystanders see too much and get into the game. It is better to say that it is better to cut the mess with a sharp knife, but when it comes to themselves, they are just as at a loss like Father Tang.

Of course, this is just my personal understanding, please forgive me if it is different from your imagination
