Chapter 44 - Gift

When He Peng returned home from school and saw Li Tong, he immediately became excited.

“Uncle Li!” He Peng rushed into Li Tong’s arms. He looked as if he had seen a relative that he had not seen for a long time.

Li Tong smiled and hugged He Peng. “You’ve grown taller again!”

The uncle and nephew laughed in the courtyard as they entered the house.

Li Tong was tall and strong, but he looked exceptionally young and tender.

Shao Xiang looked at Li Tong’s appearance and could not help but laugh.

Li Tong touched his face in embarrassment. “Ma’am, please don’t laugh at me!”

Shao Xiang could not help but laugh. “Ahaha! It’s my fault! I didn’t mean to laugh at you!”

Li Tong scratched his hair. “I also know that this appearance always causes misunderstandings, but there’s nothing I can do about it. My parents gave birth to me!”

Seeing Li Tong’s troubled look, Shao Xiang comforted her. “Look at your appearance. The little girl would love you!”

As she said this, Fang Ya and Wang Xu walked into the house.

As soon as Wang Xu entered the house, she gave Li Tong a glare.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li Tong did not know what exactly he had done to offend Wang Xu.

He looked at Shao Xiang with a bitter expression. “Look! That little girl doesn’t like it either!”

Shao Xiang looked at Li Tong’s expression and laughed even more heartily.

Wang Xu did not hear what Li Tong had said. She only knew that he was definitely saying bad things about her. Her expression became even uglier. “Talking behind my back!”

Li Tong looked at Wang Xu innocently. “By the heavens and the earth, I swear it! I didn’t say bad things about you behind your back!”

Shao Xiang also immediately vouched for him. “I can prove it! Little Li is just wondering how to make a little girl like you like him!”

Shao Xiang’s words immediately made the two youths blush.

Fang Ya looked at Wang Xu’s appearance, then looked at Li Tong and smiled. “Li Tong, come over and help! Get ready to eat!”

Li Tong immediately responded and ran over, obediently helping to set the dishes.

Wang Xu placed the dishes on the table, turned around, and walked out.

Fang Ya looked at Wang Xu’s back as she left, and said to Li Tong, “This little girl isn’t bad!”

Li Tong also stared blankly at Wang Xu’s back as she left. He did not understand Fang Ya’s question and only responded with an “Mm”.

Fang Ya looked at Li Tong’s mannerisms and the smile on her face deepened.

Shao Xiang and Fang Ya exchanged a look. Both women were waiting to watch a good show.

At the dining table, Li Tong, who had been sitting upright the entire time, made everyone feel like a soldier.

He Peng followed suit, looking obedient and sensible.

After the meal, Li Tong and Fang Ya briefly talked about He Feng’s current situation.

Because it involved the details of cases with confidential complexities, Li Tong could not say too much. He only said that the case was smoother than they had expected, and they would be able to return to the country soon.

Hearing Li Tong’s words, the heavy stone in Fang Ya’s heart was finally lifted.

He Feng, who was supposed to return to the country two years later, should be able to complete the task and return to the country in ten months if everything went smoothly.

This was simply a superb speed for the big case they were investigating this time, and it would definitely make the headlines!

Fang Ya knew that this case involved many financial frauds, and it was even related to some underground money houses and officials’ corruption and bribery.

However, Fang Ya did not know if their progress this time was as good as it was in her previous life..

From Fang Ya’s memories, although He Feng had caught a group of criminals in a swift and decisive manner, in the end, he had to release some people due to some pressure.

Moreover, under the control of some forces behind the scenes, some even bigger fish got away scot-free!

The case that was originally solved in two years only took ten months this time. Was this case really over?

Fang Ya had her own doubts in her heart, but it was not convenient for her to tell Li Tong too much.

Li Tong was only the messenger. There were too many details of the case that he could not reveal to Fang Ya.

Fang Ya did not care too much. She was already at ease the moment she heard that He Feng could return safely!

He Peng held the pen that Li Tong brought back for him and could not put it down.

“Kid! Your father bought this specially for you!” Li Tong patted He Peng’s small head and said.

He Peng looked at the word “Peng” carved on the pen and was so happy that he could not control himself.

Fang Ya looked at He Peng’s appearance and the smile on her face gradually deepened.

He Feng was not a man who did not care about his children. Perhaps it was just that his ex-wife who did not understand him.

Li Tong took out another beautiful dress and came in front of Tang Tang. “Tang Tang, your father asked me to bring you this beautiful little dress!”

Tang Tang’s eyes lit up when she saw the dress.

Shao Xiang took the dress and carried Tang Tang into the inner room.

After a while, Tang Tang walked out of the inner room by herself. The little dress was very suitable for her.

Tang Tang danced with joy. The smile on Fang Ya’s face deepened.

It turned out that He Feng was a thoughtful, meticulous man.

He had not spent much time with Tang Tang, but he had remembered to bring Tang Tang a gift, and it had been such a suitable gift!

Li Tong turned around to look at Fang Ya. “Sister-in-law! It’s not that I’m irresponsible! Captain He said that he wants to personally hand you your gift!”

Hearing Li Tong’s words, Fang Ya’s face immediately turned hot.
