My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 117 If you like it, say it

Xia Li finished the meal while holding his cell phone.

He was eating while sending messages to Lucia. They were more than a hundred kilometers apart and had only been apart for two hours, but he was sending messages so frequently that he wanted to hug her and talk to her immediately.

However, messaging Lucia wasn't as passionate as it was with regular couples.

This guy types as slowly as a turtle and can't say any cheesy or sweet words. He just says whatever comes to mind and his chat is as rigid as a robot.

But Xia Li likes this kind of dull writing.

He would stare at every message Lucia sent for a long time, feeling very happy.

Fang Xia wanted to ask him questions several times, but stopped every time when she saw the smile on Xia Li's face.

After the meal, Xia Li felt his ears were particularly quiet.

Even after returning home, Xiaoxia hasn't triggered her combo yet.

Just as he was wondering, Xia Li put down his chopsticks, raised his eyes and saw Fang Xia looking like she was about to activate a skill.

After finally meeting Xia Li's eyes, Fang Xia seized the momentum and started to attack.

"What business did you want me to teach you?"

“…If you want to start a business, start by opening a store.”

Xia Li remembered the ultimate purpose of this action. He did not beat around the bush when dealing with his family members, and spoke directly and frankly.

"Starting a business right after graduation?" Fang Xia thought for a while and did not object. "What do you want to do?"

"We are still investigating and have no direction," said Xia Li.

Fang Xia exchanged glances with Xia Yuanjun, who was picking eels to eat nearby. Xia Yuanjun had no objection and lowered his head to eat the eel shreds.

"It's not a bad thing for you young people to have such thoughts...but you have to have goals, stage-by-stage goals,"

Fang Xia said: "First, you need to think about what you want to do, what you can do, and whether you can do it, and then take action.

You can’t just do whatever you want. Young people nowadays are very impetuous and impatient. They want to do what others do to make money, but in fact they often step into the trap that others have carefully set up.”

"Mom, I understand what you said." Xia Li nodded.

That's why he was so cautious and didn't rush into taking this step.

However, what Xia Li wants to do depends largely on what Lucia wants to do.

It's best to do a job that two people can do together, so that you can spend more time together.

"First find something you're interested in doing," Fang Xia added, "or you can take over the teahouse and I can retire early."

My mother's tone was casual, as if she was saying this unintentionally.

However, the speaker has no intention, but the listener takes it seriously.

Xia Li put down the bowl and didn't eat the last bite of rice.

"Okay, when?"

Fang Xia: “…”

No, she was just telling her about her son’s fighting spirit and great dreams.

How come he suddenly looked like a dead salted fish lying down?

"Bah, you actually agreed to it. What am I going to do every day if I let you run the teahouse... unless you give me all my grandchildren to take care of." Fang Xia glared at him and said.

This time it was Xia Li's turn to remain silent.

Silently scooping himself a bowl of tomato egg drop soup, Xia Li blew away the hot air and took a sip quietly.

Let’s not talk about whether the baby is a grandson or a granddaughter. First of all, it’s not certain whether it’s a human or a dragon.

Secondly, he is still trying hard to pursue his girlfriend, and they haven’t even started yet. Fast forwarding to having a baby... That’s not a good idea.

Although Xia Li didn't mind at all.

"Okay," At this time, the head of the family (fake) finally finished his meal.

Xia Yuanjun took a sip of tea and concluded, "If you have this idea, we as parents will support you. When you have a plan, you can communicate with us in time. When I was your age, I didn't have a direction in life either... Don't worry."

Xia Yuanjun has always been a casual person. In his words, life is about taking things as they come. What belongs to you will come to you no matter what, and what does not belong to you will never be able to be caught by you.

Fang Xia, who was sitting opposite Xia Li, stared at Xia Yuanjun and said, "I've done everything for you!"

After complaining, Fang Xia turned her gaze to Xia Li again. Xia Li was holding his phone and replying to messages. As he lowered his head to type, the corners of his mouth were raised like the black carp that Xia Yuanjun had caught.

This kid, I’m afraid he has already fallen into it.

Young is so good.

With plenty of time and energy, you can love someone unscrupulously.

In Fang Xia's opinion, her son should be allowed to do whatever he wants to do, as it is time for him to venture out into the world at this age.

Compared to this kind of thing, Fang Xia is more concerned about Xia Li's emotional issues.

"Do you like it very much?" She asked Xia Li with a sidelong glance.

"Hmm..." Xia Li suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

My love for Lucia is like a little secret hidden deep in my heart. No matter who I reveal this little secret to, it will cause ripples in my heart.

"As long as you like it." Fang Xia sighed.

Since their son likes her, as parents, they will accept her no matter what kind of person she is.

Besides, the little girl has a very good personality and she has received unanimous praise from all the neighbors.

Including Fang Xia’s old girlfriend Zhao Qin, who talked about Xia Li’s girlfriend last time with all sorts of praise, which made Fang Xia feel embarrassed and she couldn’t wait to meet her daughter-in-law.

Unfortunately, her son hid himself so well that she was not allowed to see him.

"Have you confessed?"

"no no……"

"You didn't even confess your feelings?"

Fang Xia knew that her son had low emotional intelligence.

A blockhead.

He was like this. When he was a child, he played with girls like brothers and was very unyielding. When he grew up, he had no interest in girls at all.

For a girl to be pursued by Xia Li, there is absolutely no chance unless she really likes Xia Li and there is just a thin layer of window paper between them that can be broken with a slight poke.

"Where are the gifts? You haven't given any before, right?" Fang Xia asked again.

Xia Li lowered his head to drink tea and didn't dare to speak.

"I'm not saying anything bad about you..." Fang Xia was speechless.

Although according to the neighbors, Xiaolu should be a rural child who has not seen much of the world and only went to college for four years.

She didn't have high demands on Xia Li and was willing to be with Xia Li like this.

But Fang Xia has high requirements.

After a long silence, she spoke: "Some feelings are hard to convey unless you say them in person."

In the small private room of the restaurant, the spotlight shone on Fang Xia's increasingly serious face.

There are deep nasolabial folds at the corners of her mouth, which are the marks left by the years on her face. Even though she is now pale, one can still tell from her facial features that Fang Xia was once a beautiful girl who was just beginning to fall in love when she was young.

As someone who has been through it, Fang Xia also has her own views on such love matters.

She sighed and said, "In fact, you are very lucky to be born in this era. In our earlier era, the carriages were slow, the letters were far away, and there was only enough time to love one person in a lifetime...

But you are different. You were born in the information age. Even if you are far away, the words "I love you" can be conveyed instantly."

Fang Xia poured herself a cup of tea and moistened her lips. Seeing that Xia Li was still sitting there like a wooden stick for a long time, she felt very disappointed with him.

"You are already very lucky. The information age allows you to express your feelings at any time. Playing dumb in this situation is not waiting for the right opportunity, but losing it while waiting."

"Om..."

Just then, Xia Li's cell phone on the table rang again.

He peeked at his phone and saw a message from Lucia.

Girlfriend: Ding ding!

Girlfriend: Delicious instant noodles, I ate two buckets.

Girlfriend: [color][color]
Girlfriend: I made it myself!
There were four messages, each one was nearly a minute apart. Xia Li waited quietly. After reading all four messages, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

I stole a glance at Ms. Fang across the table.

Ms. Fang seemed a little angry, staring at Xia Li with her deep black eyes, as if she wanted to knock his stupid head open.

Their family is just like a traditional Chinese family, where they never say "I love you" to each other in their entire lives. Even when Fang Xia and Xia Yuanjun were dating, Xia Yuanjun was a dullard and was never good at expressing his feelings.

But because of this, Fang Xia felt the preciousness of that sentence even more.

Especially when you are young.

Youth only lasts a few years and once it’s gone, it will never come back, leaving behind regrets that will last a lifetime.

"Have you finished eating?"

Fang Xia put on her coat and kicked Xia Li's stool with her foot, as if urging him to do something.

Xia Li had already eaten his fill, but he didn't dare to move because his mother was scolding him.

…Although I don’t know how I got taught a lesson, the tone just now did have the meaning of a lesson.

"I'm done..."

"Leave after you finish eating, take something and go back to your Qingcheng City. Don't stand here. I don't like you."

"...Mom, didn't you ask me to come back?"

"It's different now!" Fang Xia said angrily, "Don't come back alone next time!"
