"Honey, it's all in the past. Xiaoxi is happy now. If you're still sad, I'll kiss you again," Lin Chen said with a chuckle.
"I'm not sad. Hurry and sit down to eat," Xu Mengyao said with a coquettish air. "The shop you bought is finished being renovated. Will you go take a look at it after dinner?"
"Sure."
After eating, Lin Chen and the others arrived at the shop outside their residential complex.
Lin Chen's eyes lit up.
The shop had already been renovated and cleaned. The overall feeling was extremely good. His workshop and Lin Xiaoxi's piano room/dance studio both looked very nice.
There was a large desk in Lin Chen's studio.
Lin Xiaoxi's music room had a grand piano, and besides that, there were erhus and other instruments.
"Mengyao, why do you even have an erhu?"
Lin Chen asked in surprise.
Xu Mengyao smiled and said, "My dad likes the erhu. If he comes over, he can play it."
"You can play the erhu too if you want."
Lin Chen muttered inwardly. It was too difficult for him to learn. Lin Xiaoxi probably wasn't interested in the erhu.
He might learn the guzheng in the future.
"Honey, would you like to play a piece?"
Lin Chen asked with a smile.
"Sure."
Xu Mengyao sat down at the piano. After a moment's thought, she began to play, performing [Wedding in a Dream].
The melodious piano music filled the room.
Lin Chen and Lin Xiaoxi listened quietly. When the piece ended, Lin Chen applauded, and Lin Xiaoxi clapped her small hands.
"You played really well, honey."
Lin Chen said with a smile.
Watching Xu Mengyao, such a beautiful woman, play was truly a pleasure. Especially since Xu Mengyao was his wife, the feeling was even more wonderful.
"Mommy, you're the best."
Lin Xiaoxi also praised.
Xu Mengyao stood up and said, "Honey, your piano skills will definitely surpass mine in the future. I won't teach Xiaoxi anymore. You can teach Xiaoxi piano from now on."
"You have so much confidence in me?"
Lin Chen laughed.
Xu Mengyao nodded, "Of course I do. Aside from not being able to give birth, I would believe you even if you said you could fly."
Lin Chen thought to himself, When his Taiji Secret Method is strong, he can easily walk on grass. In the future, he really could fly.
But that will take a very, very long time.
The ancient martial Taiji Secret Method takes fifty hours to reach Grandmaster Level. He's only at thirteen hours now, and his light skill, "Leaping Through the Grass," is also far from Grandmaster Level.
And… you can't fly at Grandmaster Level either.
He needs to get the Taiji Secret Method to Legendary Level.
"Daddy, is having a baby the hardest thing?"
Lin Xiaoxi asked, puzzled.
Lin Chen smiled gently.
Xu Mengyao explained, "Xiaoxi, Daddy is a man, and Mommy is a woman. Only women can have babies."
"Oh, I see."
Lin Xiaoxi looked a little embarrassed.
She ran over to the piano and started playing.
Lin Chen asked, "Honey, is this place usable now?"
Xu Mengyao nodded. "Yes, it is. We installed a new air system, so fresh air is constantly being circulated."
"Also, the soundproofing here is quite good. Playing the piano or doing martial arts inside won't bother anyone else."
Lin Chen nodded.
"Honey, I made plans with Shen Qing to go shopping this afternoon. You don't have anything planned, so you can take Xiaoxi with you."
Xu Mengyao said in a sweet voice.
Lin Chen smiled and nodded, "No problem. If you're in a hurry, you can leave now. I'll teach Xiaoxi some piano and then take her back to bed."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Xu Mengyao was about to leave.
Lin Xiaoxi was very comfortable with Lin Chen taking care of her.
"Give me a hug before you go."
Lin Chen opened his arms.
Xu Mengyao hugged Lin Chen, "Xiaoxi, Mommy and Auntie Qing are going shopping, Daddy will play with you."
"Mm-hm."
Lin Xiaoxi nodded.
Xu Mengyao left Lin Chen and went to the piano. He had already acquired piano skills, so teaching Lin Xiaoxi was no problem.
"Daddy, can I be like Mommy too?"
Lin Xiaoxi asked with longing.
The feeling Xu Mengyao gave her just now was very good.
"Of course, you can."
"Maybe you'll be even more amazing in the future."
Lin Chen pinched Lin Xiaoxi's little nose and smiled.
"Dad, then teach me."
Lin Xiaoxi said seriously.
Lin Chen began to teach. Five minutes passed, and a lot of piano experience kept flooding into Lin Chen's mind. This experience quickly became his own.
Half an hour later, Lin Chen finished teaching.
"Xiaoxi, that's it for today's piano lesson. You have to go home and sleep now, and Dad will take you swimming in the afternoon."
Lin Chen picked up Lin Xiaoxi and smiled.
Lin Xiaoxi's constitution wasn't very good, and she was prone to catching colds. He didn't dare let Lin Xiaoxi go into the water often, but swimming was a survival skill she had to learn.
It's summer now; if she doesn't learn now, when will she learn?
"Yes, yes!"
"I like playing in the water!"
"Daddy, can we go now?"
Lin Xiaoxi's eyes lit up as she said this happily.
Lin Chen shook his head, "Not now. If you go swimming now, you'll quickly say you're out of battery. We'll go after you wake up."
Back home, Lin Xiaoxi was asleep in less than five minutes.
"Beep, beep!"
Ye Hong called.
"Mr. Ye, are you enjoying your meal?"
Lin Chen asked with a smile as he answered the phone.
Ye Hong on the other end of the line exclaimed in amazement, "Master Lin, we've eaten all over the world, but we've never tasted anything so delicious. Your culinary skills are simply divine."
"Master Lin, we'd like to make a reservation for next month."
Lin Chen said, "Certainly."
There were few guests for the time being, so Ye Hong and his group were able to make a reservation. It would be much harder to do so directly in the future.
"Master Lin, I'd like to recommend a guest to you. His assets are only a few billion, but he has strong connections in official circles. Both Old Yu and I are inferior in that aspect."
Lin Chen said, "As long as the person is reliable."
"Master Lin, he's quite reliable. I wouldn't recommend anyone unreliable to you, Master Lin."
"His name is Chen Zhian. Should I speak with him and give him your number so he can contact you?"
Ye Hong asked.
"Sure."
Ye Hong continued, "Master Lin, I have one last small question. My wife loves tea, but she needs to take medicine with every meal now. Can she still drink tea?"
"Yes, she can. Tea generally interacts with most Chinese medicines, but it won't affect the medicine your wife is taking. Just don't drink tea immediately after taking the medicine."
"Tea leaves are also a medicinal ingredient in themselves," Lin Chen said.
Ye Hong breathed a sigh of relief. "That's a relief. Master Lin, what time is your next appointment?"
Lin Chen thought for a moment. "The day after tomorrow, I think. I have to work hard now that I'm just starting out. I'll be a slacker later."
Ye Hong: "..."
Three days of fishing and two days of drying the nets. Truly hardworking.
As soon as he hung up the phone, another call came in.
"Editor-in-Chief Chen, what's up?"
Lin Chen answered the phone and asked.
On the other end of the phone was Chen Xihan.
Chen Xihan: "Master Lin, there are thirty more fairy tales that haven't been published yet, so the fourth book needs to be published."
"Also, the boss said to reprint one million copies each of the first, second, and third books."
Lin Chen asked in surprise, "The first three books are all sold out?"
Chen Xihan laughed on the other end of the phone, "Almost. The sales were slow initially, but your books started selling overseas, and the overseas popularity has boosted domestic sales again."
"Overseas sales have started?"
Lin Chen was surprised.
He hadn't really paid attention to this.
Chen Xihan: "Yes, they're being sold simultaneously in many countries."
"The market feedback has been very good."
