Rebirth of the King of Waves

Chapter 118 Reunion After a Short Separation

Ning Bishu held Xiao Taotao tightly. They hadn't seen each other for almost two weeks, and inhaling her fragrance, he felt an urge to meld her into his own body. However, Ning Bishu hadn't expected Xiao Taotao to respond so passionately. The two kissed passionately for a long time downstairs before separating. Ning Bishu smiled at her and asked, "What's wrong? Did you miss me that much?"

Xiao Taotao's face flushed red, and with a soft moan, she nestled into Ning Bishu's arms. She was a little over 1.7 meters tall with shoes on, and with her chin resting on Ning Bishu's shoulder, she leaned forward slightly and whispered, "Bad Uncle..."

Ning Bishu suddenly said, "Your backpack is so heavy, let's go upstairs first."

"Hmm..." Xiao Taotao nodded, and holding hands with Ning Bishu, they walked sweetly into the building next to the entrance of the community, under the watchful gaze of a desperate stare from the distant intersection behind them.

Cheng Yuhang stood in the backyard for a long time, then raised his hand to check the time.

It's past 10 o'clock.

The man and Tao Tao went upstairs. They probably won't leave tonight, right?
Cheng Yuhang had visited Xiao Taotao's home once.

Under the guise of visiting each other's homes, I spent the summer vacation of my junior year of high school with several classmates.

Cheng Yuhang clearly remembers that Xiao Taotao's house was very small.

If that man doesn't leave tonight, where will he sleep?

First of all, we have to rule it out. It's impossible that he slept with Xiao's mother, right?

It's impossible to sleep in the kitchen or the toilet...

So, the final answer...

The thought of the girl he admired having to share a bed with a short man tonight filled Cheng Yuhang with an indescribable bitterness that he couldn't swallow or let go of.

He looked intently at the window of Xiao Taotao's home on the fifth floor.

The lights were still on inside.

That light was on for that man...

……

"Mom!" Xiao Taotao was much more excited than usual as soon as she entered the house.

Xiao's mother helped her take off her heavy schoolbag and first praised her son-in-law: "Bi Shu waited for you downstairs for half an hour. It's so cold, and he wouldn't come up no matter what. Look, I know you like seafood, so I bought you a whole table of seafood today. It's all the freshest, brought from the market. They're all still alive and kicking. Bi Shu asked me to cook it all. Eat a few bites before you go to sleep. Do you still have homework to do tonight?"

After a long string of words from Xiao's mother, Xiao Taotao didn't know where to begin her reply. She just picked the one she hated the most and said, "That's all, that's all, I finished it all at school!" She turned to look at the dining table and saw that it was full of food. Then she turned to Ning Bishu and shouted, "Ah~! Uncle, you're so kind!!" There was no trace of her initial reluctance.

Ning Bishu was actually quite puzzled. How come this little girl had taken the initiative to tame herself after only half a month? Little did she know that recently, Xiao Taotao would secretly spend half a day every night after returning home scrolling through news about him.

Whether it was Ning Bishu raking in 200 million yuan worth of韭菜 (a metaphor for retail investors) on the A-share market, appearing on XX TV, or then flaunting his wealth by crying poverty while paying off 60 million yuan in debt the next day, Xiao Taotao saw it all.

In addition, while her classmates and teachers at school seemed to deliberately downplay her relationship with Ning Bishu, they were actually subtly reinforcing Xiao Taotao's emotional bond with Ning Bishu.

As a result, when Xiao Taotao saw Ning Bishu again after half a month, she was filled with the joy of a reunion after a short separation.

"Uncle, Uncle, you're calling me so affectionately..." Having received the money to do the job, Xiao's mother had completely accepted the situation and even had the mood to make a joke.

Xiao Taotao clung to Ning Bishu's hand and pleaded with her mother, "What else should I call him if not Uncle? I can't just call him Dad..."

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Xiao said irritably. "Your father called a few days ago and said he'd be back next month after this trip. Bi Shu transferred 500,000 yuan to me today, and I'll return the money to your uncles and aunts tomorrow. Now that your father is back, he won't have to go to sea anymore. I've been worried sick every day..."

"Ah? Dad's coming back?" Xiao Taotao's eyes lit up.

"Yes," Xiao's mother said with a slight embarrassment, "I've kept it from your father; I haven't told him about you and Bi Shu."

Ning Bishu immediately smiled and said, "Mom, when Dad comes back, tell me so I can meet him. We can also arrange the engagement. Let's get engaged after Tao Tao finishes her exams."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xiao felt relieved and said with a smile, "Good, good... Tao Tao, did you hear that?"

"Oh, I'm not deaf, I'm sitting right here!" Xiao Taotao turned to look at Ning Bishu, her eyes filled with shyness and overwhelming joy. She was getting engaged, getting married. It was so sudden, but also so exciting.

Although my uncle isn't particularly good-looking, but...

This doesn't matter at all!

Men should be like Uncle.

And sometimes, she actually felt that her uncle was quite handsome.

The way he scans the QR code to pay is especially stylish...

All those dramatic love stories in those ridiculous TV dramas are nothing compared to the real good life your uncle provides.
Xiao Taotao became increasingly agitated as he thought about it.

Then Xiao's mother said to Ning Bishu, "Bishu, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Tao Tao from now on. She was spoiled by me and her father when she was little, and she's still young. If she does anything she doesn't know, please teach her."

Xiao Taotao couldn't help but interject, "Mom, how have I been anything but ignorant..."

"What do you mean, 'no'? You're always giving me trouble," Xiao's mother said discontentedly. "Exams are coming up soon, and you're still secretly playing on your phone at night. Don't think I don't know! If you don't do well on the exams, Bi Shu will be too embarrassed to take you out in public!" "Mom, no, I, Tao Tao, will try my best," Ning Bi Shu said with a faint smile.

He was about to say that it wouldn't matter if he didn't pass the exam, but before he could speak, his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw the name Mu Shanming on the screen. His expression remained unchanged. He smiled slightly at Xiao's mother and answered the phone, asking, "What is it?"

Mu Shanming said in a deep voice, "Zhang Junjun, the boss of Qianming Consulting, wants you to come over immediately. Do you have time now?"

"Now?" Ning Bishu shook his head. Di Guofeng was urging him, and he didn't have time to go back to Beijing. He said simply, "I have to go back to X Prefecture tomorrow morning to take care of some important business. It might take a few days. Why don't you ask President Zhang if it's okay this weekend or next week? I definitely can't go back in the next few days."

"Okay. Have you arrived in Jinling yet?" Mu Shanming asked again.

Ning Bishu truthfully replied, "I'm at Taotao's house."

Mu Shanming gently clenched his fist: "Okay, I understand. Get some rest and take care of yourself."

Ning Bishu hung up the phone.

He turned and smiled at Tao Tao.

Xiao Taotao asked curiously, "Who is it?"

“My lawyer,” Ning Bishu said. “I’ll introduce you two next time there’s an opportunity.”

"Hmm..." Xiao Taotao nodded happily.

I thought to myself, "Uncle really is a rich man."

They even have their own lawyers...

"Uncle, have a shrimp." Xiao Taotao happily picked up a large shrimp and peeled it for Ning Bishu.

The three of them chatted and ate.

For the next half hour or so, they made small talk, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

Ning Bishu felt a long-lost sense of warmth and home.

A little while later, it was 10:30. Xiao Taotao had to go to school the next day, so she put down her chopsticks and went to the bathroom to wash up. She had already taken a shower yesterday and didn't plan to shower again today, so she carefully scrubbed her whole body from head to toe in the bathroom.

Around 11 o'clock, she dried her hair and went back to her room.

Ning Bishu sat at her desk and turned her head to look.

Xiao Taotao blushed slightly, lifted the quilt, crawled into bed, and whispered, "Uncle, why don't you go take a shower too?"

"Hmm." Ning Bishu responded faintly and went into the bathroom.

Xiao's mother quickly took out a clean towel and toothbrush.

Ning Bishu finished washing up at a leisurely pace, rinsed his feet casually, said goodnight to Xiao's mother, and naturally walked into Xiao Taotao's room, closing the door behind him.

After waiting for a while, Xiao's mother tiptoed to her daughter's bedroom door, pressed her ear against the door, and eavesdropped on the sounds inside.

In a room that was barely soundproof, the two people talking could be heard almost clearly.

"Uncle, why don't you take a bath..."

"I took a shower this morning."

"It tastes a little strange..."

"That's why illnesses can enter through the mouth; you can't just eat anything..."

Outside the door, Xiao's mother was completely confused.

Suddenly, a soft groan came from inside. Xiao Taotao suppressed her voice, and the bed started to creak and shake.

Xiao's mother panicked immediately.

Knowing full well that some things were unavoidable tonight, she still couldn't help but grit her teeth when she heard this commotion.

Xiao's mother dared not eavesdrop any longer.

She fled in panic.

I ran back to my room and slammed the door shut to block out that damned sound.
