A perfect life begins with changing the timeline.

After a sumptuous lunch, Fan Tao and Zhang Chuanmei changed their clothes and went out with Fan Chengcheng.

They were supposedly going for a walk.

But judging from Xiao Fan's sly smile, the elderly couple seemed to have deliberately gone away.

She was happy, and Li Mu felt embarrassed instead.

Then, he chose to finish quickly, and after a few quick thrusts, he pulled up his pants and ran.

Truly, mackerel are heartless.

Her boyfriend's attempts to cover it up only made Xiao Fan roll her eyes repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, you'd better hurry up and leave, or my husband will be back."

"..."\

Li Muxin said, "What you said is truly human language."

At the same time, he urged:

"Hurry up and get dressed."

"No, you rest for a while, I want more!"

"No, you shouldn't. What if your aunt and uncle come back?"

"Don't worry, they'll definitely call before they get back."

"Big sister, stop trying to coax me, please get dressed quickly... Get dressed now, and I'll share some big gossip with you."

"Oh?"

Fan Bingbing's eyes lit up.

Is there some gossip to be had?

She reluctantly put on a pair of white panties, sat cross-legged on the bed, and asked rather boldly:

"Who is it? What's going on?"

"Put your shirt on!"

"Oh no! My breasts have been sore these past few days, and I haven't been able to comfort you... My breasts hurt."

Li Mu did not refute this point.

Because she always does this when she has her period.

People say that women like that don't lack breast milk, but I don't know if that's true or not.

"Do you still remember Director Zhang?"

"The one who was forced out?"

"Yes, on the 15th, didn't I attend his daughter's engagement party...?"

"That...very pretty older sister?"

"Yes. And then..."

As her boyfriend vividly described the situation, and after he explained who his father was, Xiao Fan's eyes widened in disbelief:

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Brother Bie was completely stunned at the time. We analyzed it later, and it explains why Sister Weiwei kept it hidden. She probably really didn't want anyone else to know..."

"Afraid of affecting their pure and simple love?"

"Probably. Putting everything else aside, you're in frequent contact with Sister Ding, so you should be able to sense it. They have a lot going on; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say their place is always bustling with activity, right?"

"Um."\

Fan Bingbing nodded, then asked curiously:

"Doesn't that mean Director Zhang has powerful backers?"

"It's not really that, but honestly, if you were Sister Weiwei and I were Dong Huaiming, and Uncle Fan was being bullied, do you think I'd feel good about it?"

"That would definitely be uncomfortable. Besides, if others knew you wouldn't stand up for your father-in-law when he was being bullied, how would you face your wife's family in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Li Muyi shrugged:

"So, it really is true that fortunes change every thirty years. Even Brother Bie couldn't have imagined that the director would have such a powerful backer in his old age. But he's quite happy."

"Because when he was helping Director Zhang, this hadn't happened yet, right?"

"Um."\

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Xiao Fan smacked his lips, thinking to himself, "What a magical life."

At the same time, I couldn't help but complain:

"I've discovered something."

"What?"

"You really can't look down on someone. Who knows, one day, the person who used to look up to you might become a towering tree whose height you can't even fathom."

"So, maintaining a calm and balanced mindset is best, right?"

"Um."\

She nodded again.

She needs to learn this principle well and remember it firmly.

I don't expect to be all smiles to everyone, but at least I can't act recklessly.

"Keep a low profile..."

Hearing her mutterings, Li Mu, who had finished straightening his clothes, replied:

"You need to learn to be gentle, kind, courteous, frugal, and modest. After all... putting everything else aside, just think about the people we both know now, whether it's Sister Zhang, Sister Ding, or anyone else, they're all very low-key. This shows one thing: the higher you climb, the more you need these qualities."

Speaking of this, he remembered what the frowning guy had mentioned about "her," which served as another wake-up call:

"When the sky is arrogant, rain will surely fall; when a person is arrogant, disaster will surely follow. If you offend someone today, twenty years later, they might kill you with a single finger. Isn't that right?"

Fan Bingbing nodded.

That means they really listened.

"Can I tell my parents about this?"

"This...isn't that necessary?"

"I think so. It mainly makes you look impressive, you know? It gives you an edge in their eyes."

"Then tell me more."

"Heh heh, you're such a hypocrite."

"Ha~"

Sure enough, around 4 PM, when Fan Tao returned with a bag of groceries, he casually remarked:

"Dad, Mom, I have some gossip to share with you. Li Mu is amazing. His former boss, the old director, was ostracized and transferred within the company, and Li Mu gave him advice, which basically saved his life. And now his daughter is doing so well..."

Take a look.

In her words, there was no such person as "Bie Yan".

All the credit goes to my boyfriend.

p

Li Mu's ears felt hot from hearing this.

I thought to myself, "She's an actor after all; she doesn't even blush when she lies."

That's really impressive.

But... he had to admit, he felt quite happy when he saw the surprised looks on Uncle Fan and Aunt Fan's faces.

Furthermore, people from Shandong province seem to have a natural "intuition" about such matters. After hearing his daughter's gossip, Fan Tao quickly gave an explanation:

"Xiao Li, this is a timely favor, but don't overthink it. The best approach is to acknowledge it and continue interacting normally. Never bring up this favor, or its value will last a long time. Otherwise, the moment you mention it, people will understand what's going on, understand?"

He understood this principle, of course, but in front of his elders he had to pretend to be confused, nodding as if he suddenly understood:

"That makes sense, Uncle Fan. I've learned something."

"Ha ha……"\

……\

That night, under the guise of taking him back to his hotel, Xiao Fan found a deserted spot and raped him again.

I have to admit, Yanjing (Beijing) is really great.

Roads under construction are everywhere, and the remote areas are sparsely populated.

BMW's shock absorption is really good.

As expected of a German national treasure, this brand... is simply amazing!

On the 17th, he and his girlfriend discreetly drove to the vicinity of the Olympics, where construction was underway everywhere.

The two went to check on the construction progress of Fenglin Oasis and Tianjuyuan.

The person didn't go inside; they just looked out the car window from the roadside.

Tianjuyuan is progressing faster than Fenglin Oasis; the roof has already been completed, and even the exterior facade of the complex is mostly finished. It will definitely be ready for handover by the end of this year.

But that wasn't what made them happiest.

Even more exciting is the second phase of Tianjuyuan; although they're still digging the foundation, long queues have already formed at the sales office.

They're all queuing up to buy houses.

The housing prices in Yanjing have risen by an absurd rate this year, and the land plots that the two invested in have seen the largest increases.

When Xiao Fan, who was driving, saw the long queue, he started grinning like an idiot.

That was so much fun!

She was so happy that she kept running towards the dead end to pull out her boyfriend's radish, which scared Li Mu into stopping her.

Ma'am, there are excavators and workers in hard hats everywhere right now. Please take a break for a bit.

After much persuasion, he finally stopped her absurd idea. Once they returned to his girlfriend's house, Xiao Fan couldn't wait to announce the news.

The elderly couple already knew about their daughter's investment in real estate and that it was all thanks to Xiao Li's foresight.

But I was still quite surprised when I heard that the house price had risen to over 7,000.

This money... came too fast.

No wonder my daughter always praised Xiao Li for his intelligence; now it seems it's absolutely true.

At one point, the elderly couple even had a feeling that their daughter was marrying above her station during their conversations.

This child... is just too outstanding.

Is my daughter really good enough for him?

As they were talking, the door to the master bedroom opened.

"Dad, Mom, we're taking Chengcheng for a walk and dropping Li Mu off at the hotel."

"...Okay, be careful, keep an eye on Chengcheng."

"Don't worry, Chengcheng. Come on, let's go for a ride in the car."

Fan Chengcheng immediately stumbled and lunged towards her older sister.

"Uncle, Auntie, I'm leaving."

"Um."\

Fan Tao responded, not forgetting to add a note:

"Dress more formally tomorrow."

"Ha, I know."

Li Mu responded, and scooped up the toddler who was just over two years old:

"Chengcheng, shall we go?"

Fan Chengcheng wasn't shy at all; she hooked her arm around Li Mu's neck and patted his cheek with her soft little hand.

Li Muyi Le:\

"Ha, let's go! Let's take the car!"

"Hey you two, wait for me! Where's my mask? Mom, my mask..."

"It's right on top of the shoe cabinet!"

"Oh, hehehe..."

Amidst laughter and conversation, the two adults and one child opened the door and walked outside.

As the "guests" were leaving, the elderly couple who had come to see them off watched the three say goodbye and then walked out together.

With a "click," the door closed.

Silence returned to the room.

But Zhang Chuanmei didn't move. Instead, she looked at the security door and said to her husband:

"Old Fan, don't you have a feeling... those three people... are like a family of three? If... that's really the case, it's actually quite nice."

"..."\

Fan Tao remained silent, his mind still replaying the scene from earlier.

I have to admit, my wife was right.

But...

The thought of his beloved daughter, whom he had raised from childhood, suddenly being taken away by someone else made his heart ache.

In the end, all I could do was sigh:

"Sigh. What's up? Want to have a grandchild?"

"It's a bit...you know, if we had gotten pregnant sooner, wouldn't it have kept Chengcheng company?"

"..."\

Fan Tao's lips twitched.

Then his wife continued:

"If I can get pregnant this year, Chengcheng will be exactly 3 years old when the baby is born. The two kids can even go to the same school..."

Upon hearing this, he rolled his eyes.

"Stop talking nonsense. With such a successful career, what would it look like to have a child?"

What's going on?

"Xiao Li isn't bad either. Especially these past two days with Chengcheng... haven't you noticed? He's been quite patient."

"..."\

The old father felt even more suffocated, so he simply stopped paying attention to his wife and went back to his room to lie down.

It's rare that the child isn't here.

He wants to rest.
