Chapter 220 218. Can I Call You Dad

"Then will you agree to my forced marriage?"

The air in the quiet room seemed to freeze. Chen Meiren sat on the bed anxiously, looking at the silent Chen Li'an, not knowing what answer she would be waiting for.

Chen Li'an turned his head to look at Chen Meiren, put his arms around her and said, "Yes, but will you force me?"

Chen Meiren was stunned for a moment, and just about to say yes, Chen Li'an blocked her back with a forced kiss.Chen Meiren opened her eyes and looked at Chen Li'an who was kissing her in a daze, feeling that her brain was not enough.

But he quickly realized that Chen Li'an meant it. He said he was willing but actually he didn't want to, and he didn't want to give himself a chance to say this.

Chen Meiren, who wanted to understand, pushed Chen Li'an away, looked into his affectionate eyes, and the anger in her heart dissipated inexplicably, but it's not her character to give up halfway, things have come to this point, it's not good to be stupid.

"Chen Li'an! Don't be sloppy with me, just say whether you want it or not, if you don't want to, this child is gone!"

Naturally, it was impossible not to have children. Chen Meiren just wanted to frighten Chen Li'an, and finally had a child as a killer, so she was reluctant to part with it.

Chen Li'an couldn't help sighing, took Chen Meiren's hand and said: "This incident is too sudden for me, you have to give me some time to think about it, you never told me about the secret pregnancy, I will It was a bit unacceptable for a while, why didn't you ask me for my opinion before."

"That. That was an accident." Chen Meiren said vaguely, looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Are you unable to accept it now or do you not want to accept it?"

"I don't want to, I like children." Chen Li'an paused and said: "But... I really didn't plan to get married, it was too sudden, and we agreed at the beginning."

Chen Meiren also knew not to push too hard, so she eased her tone and said, "I can give you time to think about it, up to a week, and you must give me an answer!"

Chen Li'an coughed and said, "One week is too short, maybe two months."

"No, just a week!" Chen Meiren said firmly.

Chen Li'an glanced at Chen Meiren, stood up and said, "Oh, then I'll go back and think about it now."

Seeing that Chen Li'an was about to run away, Chen Meiren grabbed his hand and said, "Chen Li'an, if you dare to run away, I'll go to Yangcheng to find my second uncle to decide!"

"Hey, I went to pour you a glass of water, I didn't say I was leaving." Chen Li'an turned around and said with a smile on his face.

"Then I'll keep it warm."

"no problem!"

In the living room, Chen Li'an pressed the switch of the water dispenser, his thoughts went to nowhere, until the water overflowed and flowed onto his hands, he recovered and sighed silently.

It's difficult, Chen Meiren is different from Gong Li, Chen Li'an can't just coax her to get it done, it seems that she has to give her a surprise.

But now it's better to stabilize first, in case something goes wrong if you get angry in a hurry.

At night, Chen Li'an put his arms around Chen Meiren, touched her little belly that hadn't changed and said, "Why didn't you tell me directly back then."

"Accident." Chen Meiren said with some guilt.

Chen Li'an's hands stopped, he didn't bother to expose Chen Meiren, and said to himself: "Actually, if you tell me, I will agree. Don't surprise me like this in the future, or I will surprise you in the future."

Chen Meiren immediately looked at Chen Li'an vigilantly, and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean? What surprise?"

"No surprises, that's what I said." Chen Li'an put his arms around Chen Meiren and coaxed, "It's getting late, go to sleep, there is still work tomorrow."

Chen Meiren looked at Chen Li'an's appearance, although she felt a little inexplicably uneasy, but she couldn't figure out why, she just thought that she was a little sensitive.

But Chen Meiren has already made up her mind, give Chen Li'an a week, if he really doesn't want to get married, she will go to Yangcheng to find his second uncle to decide!

If you don't believe me, you can't control Chen Li'an anymore!
Early the next morning, Chen Li'an accompanied Chen Meiren after breakfast, wiped his mouth and said, "I'm going to the National Art Museum of China today, and I may come back late tonight."

Chen Meiren drank the milk and hummed, and when Chen Li'an was about to go out, she said flatly from behind: "Come back before eight o'clock in the evening."

Chen Li'an turned his head and narrowed his eyes to look at Chen Meiren, then left with a hum.

Looking at the back of Chen Li'an leaving, Chen Meiren's hand holding the cup tightened slightly, is she a little bit over the top?

How can you say such things at this time, isn't this pushing Chen Li'an out.

A little annoyed, Chen Meiren picked up a bun and took a bite.

Chen Li'an on the other side walked out of the yard and couldn't help but rubbed his temples. He didn't agree to get married yet, so let's take care of it first?Substitute too quickly.

If they were really married, they would have to be taken care of. Chen Li'an couldn't help shivering when he thought about it. In such a hot summer, Chen Li'an felt chilly.

Thinking of what Chen Meiren said yesterday that if he disagreed, he would call his second uncle, Chen Li'an felt that he couldn't sit still, Chen Meiren could really do this.

Now we must take the first step so that the second uncle will not intervene.

Chen Li'an came to the entrance of the alley and saw that Li Dabai was already waiting there in his car, so he opened the door and got in the car and said, "Go home first, and then go to the art museum later."

Li Dabai looked at Chen Li'an's uneasy expression, hummed and started the car silently, and didn't dare to ask what happened.

After returning home, Chen Li'an came to the study and sat there thinking for a while, then called Qiao Linmu.

The call was connected quickly, and Chen Li'an called second uncle in a low voice like a child who made a mistake.

Listening to Chen Li'an's voice, Qiao Linmu asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Did something happen?"

After hesitating for a long time, Chen Li'an whispered, "Second uncle, you are going to be an uncle."

"Huh?" Qiao Linmu was stunned for a moment, and asked uncertainly, "Say it again?!"

"I said you're going to be an uncle." After Chen Li'an repeated it, listening to Qiao Linmu's excited voice on the phone, he didn't know whether he was shocked or pleasantly surprised.

After Qiao Linmu calmed down, Chen Li'an explained the matter again.

Qiao Linmu covered his forehead, pondered for a long time and asked uncertainly: "You mean, you don't have a girlfriend now, but you have several friends of the opposite sex with unclear relationships, and two of them are pregnant?"

Chen Li'an coughed in embarrassment and said, "Second uncle, your ability to sum up is really good."

"You're so tall!" Qiao Lin cursed angrily, "Chen Li'an, look what you're doing!"

After Chen Li'an endured Qiao Linmu's reprimand for more than ten minutes, he said helplessly, "Second Uncle, what a surprise, you were the same with your aunt back then."

"Can I be the same as you!" Qiao Linmu scolded angrily, "You still dare to tease me, tell me what you are going to do now!"

Chen Li'an sighed and said: "I haven't made it up yet, I just want to tell you in advance to make you happy, and you can leave this matter alone, I will take care of it."

"Make me happy? You are not stingy." Qiao Linmu's voice raised an octave, and then weakened again. He was really happy. In a blink of an eye, it was his grandpa's.

But happiness is happiness, worry is real, if only one girl is pregnant, he will definitely force Chen Li'an to get married, but now there are two, it will be difficult.

"Second Uncle, let's just say that, if Chen Meiren calls you later, help me stabilize."

"."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Linmu was stunned for a while, and he hadn't recovered from the news that he was an uncle, so he sighed after a while.

"Why are there only two? How nice is one, and we'll get married directly."

Qiao Linmu also has a big head now, and it's not like in the old society where three wives and four concubines were allowed, Chen Li'an made it a bit difficult to deal with.

"Little bastard is causing trouble for me! Let's see how you end up!"

After Chen Li'an finished speaking with Qiao Linmu, it was possible to avoid Chen Meiren from asking for help to put pressure on her, but the problem was still not resolved, and now he could only procrastinate, or had to have a showdown with Chen Meiren.

But does this count as having both sons and daughters?Hey, I don't know if Chen Meiren is pregnant with a boy or a girl.

Chen Li'an sat in the study for a long time in a daze before going out to the art gallery.

After chatting with Director Yang at the art museum for more than an hour, the time of the photography exhibition was fixed. The week before the release of the Red River Valley, it can be regarded as a little contribution to the film.

In Director Yang's office, he put down the photo in his hand and said: "It's been a long time since I saw such a pure work. In the past two years, the museum has also collected many works of ethnic minority painters, but none of them have the same feeling as you. .”

Chen Li'an thought of the works of xz painters at the National Art Exhibition last year, nodded slightly and said: "They are approaching the mainstream aesthetics in China, and the things of the nation itself are ignored, and the political color is greater than the artistry."

"That's right, so this group of works of yours is not bad, it's very rare." Curator Yang took a sip of tea and asked, "How long has it been since you painted? It's not good to have too many thoughts."

Chen Li'an hummed and said: "Hold on, I'll calm down and paint after I've been busy for a while."

"You can do it yourself."

After leaving the art gallery, Chen Li'an didn't go back to Chen Meiren's place, but asked Li Dabai to drive him around casually.

Li Dabai didn't know why Chen Li'an was in a bad mood today, so he asked tentatively: "Mr. Chen, why don't you take me to see the house."

"casual."

Chen Li'an was leaning on the back seat thinking about what to do next. Chen Meiren and Gong Li had different thoughts, so it was not easy to deal with.

Li Dabai glanced at the pensive Chen Li'an, wondering why he would worry about something when he used to care nothing about being chic.

Soon the car arrived at a residential area on the edge of the East Third Ring Road. After parking the car, Li Dabai looked back at Chen Li'an who was still thinking and said in a low voice, "Teacher Chen, we're here."

Chen Li'an hummed, opened the door and got out of the car, looked at the community that had just handed over the house in front of him, nodded in satisfaction and said, "It looks pretty good, what type of apartment is it?"

"Garden bungalows, there are also villas, but they are more expensive." Li Dabai ran over and said, she really likes the villas here, last time she lived in Jifa's villa in Paris, she was thinking about when she would have a villa.

How expensive can a villa be? Although Chen Lian only had more than 300 million in his pocket, it was more than enough to buy a villa, so he said, "Let's have a look."

Maybe seeing that Chen Li'an was in a better mood, Li Dabai boldly asked: "Mr. Chen, what are you unhappy about?"

Chen Li'an glanced at her and said, "It's nothing, you won't understand even if you tell me."

"How would I understand if you don't tell me." Li Dabai muttered in a low voice.

After the topic ended, Li Dabai stopped asking, and led Chen Li'an to look at the house.

The area of ​​the bungalow is not small, more than [-] square meters, and the decoration is also very good, basically you can move in with your bags.

The villas are even better. The only bad thing is that the price is a bit expensive. A villa with an area of ​​more than 300 square meters costs 240 million.

Chen Li'an struggled for a while, and decided to buy it. Chen Meiren is pregnant now, and it is not convenient to live in a courtyard house. Although the sewage has been remodeled, it is still very troublesome.

Giving him a villa was regarded as an apology for not getting married. After thinking about it, Chen Li'an suddenly felt a little sorry for Gong Li again.

But I don't have enough money in my pocket, so it's a bit difficult to buy two sets.

Chen Li'an had no choice but to ask for help, so he called his second uncle directly.

"Second uncle, give me some money, I want to buy a house for my daughter."

Qiao Linmu: "." This bastard is either causing trouble or asking for money. Next time I see you, I will beat him up!
However, the profit of the factory is very high. This year's production and sales have increased, and the profit margin has also increased, especially the profit margin of electronic products is very large.

A VCD can be sold for more than 2000, or more than [-] million in sales, and the profits can be imagined.

Qiao Linmu sighed and said: "I see, I will arrange the financial services for you later. No matter who you choose, you should bear the responsibility. Don't think that buying a house is enough. You should grow up in the future!"

"Don't worry, I'm not an irresponsible man!"

"Hmph, best!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Li'an turned his head and saw Li Dabai staring at him, with an egg in his mouth.

Is Teacher Chen planning to marry Liu Xiaoli?Buy a house for her daughter? ! ! !

Didn't you just meet once?

Li Dabai was a little dizzy, wondering if he heard it wrong, this is not Chen Lian's style at all.

Is it so happy to be someone else's father?
Chen Li'an ignored Li Dabai who made a fuss, you can't imagine how happy your father is!

"Dabai, find me another villa like this in the west city, and find a larger bungalow in the north city."

Li Dabai was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Mr. Chen, why did you buy so many houses?"

"Don't tell me, I bought it for my daughter."

"Then she can't live in so many houses, Teacher Chen, don't be impulsive, Liu Xiaoli's daughter is not your own!"

"."

Chen Li'an couldn't help knocking on Li Dabai's head and said: "What are you thinking, whoever wants to buy it for her, I will buy it for my own daughter!"

"Oh oh. It scared me to death, I thought." Li Dabai didn't react until halfway through the words, looked at Chen Li'an and shouted: "No, Mr. Chen, when did you become a father?!"

Chen Li'an cast a glance at Li Dabai, and snorted in his heart, is it unusual to be a father?Too many people call him daddy.

After a busy afternoon, watching Chen Li'an spend more than 200 million yuan without blinking, Li Dabai suddenly wanted to have such a good father, she liked the big villa so much!
"Mr. Chen, can I call you Dad?"

Chen Li'an put away the contract, turned to look at Li Dabai and asked, "What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."

Li Dabai blushed and quickly shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
