I am The Villain’s Dad
Chapter 48:

Dong Shufen felt that something was wrong with her colleagues today. Every time she passed them by, they would be covering their mouths, snickering and grinning.

It’s been like this since lunch. Out of curiosity, she asked some of them whether something was up, but they kept smiling without really answering her question. They were very secretive.

Since it seemed like she was the only one clueless, Dong Shufen felt a little afraid. She thought about whether she had something on her face, but she checked in the bathroom mirror and found nothing wrong with how she looked.

Then, she thought, maybe it was an inside joke that she didn’t understand. She decided to wait for tomorrow to ask others.

However, she finally understood what was going on when she went out from work.

Dong Shufen’s workplace was at the far end of the factory, and it was quite far from the canteen. Today, because she had a lot of things to do, she asked her colleagues to help get her food. She then ate in the office and continued to work.

Because of that, she didn’t see any changes in the factory.

From the basement of the building she worked in and all the way to the factory gate, everywhere was decorated lavishly as if for a special occasion. Rows and rows of baskets filled with roses lined the hallways, red ribbons dangled all over the trees, and beautiful rose lamps hung from the ceiling, dimly lighting the hallways in a romantic tint.

As Dong Shufen walked further and further, she came to realize there was no one around anymore but her, and started to panic. Who was going to propose? Did she accidentally get in the way of others?

She quickly rushed towards the exit, trying to get away quickly to not interrupt this event.

Suddenly, as she reached the gate, she saw Su Yuyang standing there, wearing a black suit and leaning against a jet black luxury limo.

Behind him were her colleagues, all uniformly wearing black suits and skirts. Then, there was also Su Yaotian with his little martial arts school team, very spiritedly dressed in the same manner.

As they saw her come out, the music started playing, and Su Yuyang spoke into a microphone.

“Ms. Dong Shufen, would you be willing to go on a date with me?”

The original owner and Dong Shufen fell in love at first sight, and Dong Shufen wasn’t the kind of girl who could cunningly strike for love. Since she decided she loved him, she didn’t mince her words and asked him about marriage immediately, so there was almost no romance between them.

They had only met three times before they confirmed each other’s feelings and got married.

Father Dong’s and Mother Dong didn’t even ask for a bride price. They only ever asked for the original owner to be good to their daughter.

Perhaps, because the Dong family was too kind and let the marriage happen so easily, he didn’t cherish her properly.

Not long after the wedding, the original owner began to feel dissatisfied with Dong Shufen, and over time, they quarreled more and more.

The big reason why Dong Shufen could divorce so decisively was because they didn’t really have any good memories to fall back to and reminisce together.

Now, Su Yuyang will give her the romance they lacked. He will woo Dong Shufen properly, to make her marry him willingly and accept himself as Tian Tian’s rightful, legal, blood, and internally approved father.

When Dong Shufen saw Su Yuyang like this, her heart, already hardened from years of hardship, thumped once again.

In truth, for any woman, there was none that didn’t like this kind of romance.

Especially considering how Su Yuyang probably went through so much trouble to do this for her.

Earlier, before Su Yuyang spoke out, Dong Shufen panicked yet again.

She was afraid that Su Yuyang would propose in front of their child like this, because she didn’t want to agree yet, and she couldn’t accept Su Yuyang as of right now.

She was still aversive to Su Yuyang, and she has already made that clear to him. But, him suddenly doing something like this in front of everyone and the child makes her feel a little uncomfortable, and she felt forced by the situation.

Even if she agreed to his marriage proposal, she felt that she might not do so happily.

Just like before, although she fell in love with him at first sight, she didn’t want to get married so soon. Back then, it was Su Yuyang who asked for thm to get married right away as he said that his mother couldn’t wait, and falling in love after marriage was just the same.

But now, although she was in a difficult situation, what Su Yuyang said wasn’t something she couldn’t stand completely. He just wanted to go on a date with her and wanted to formally pursue her?

He… Is he trying to make up for the promise he broke to her before?

The aversion she felt for him this whole while, at that moment, started to dissipate.

He brought in a lot of people to do this surprise for her, and what he was seeking was just this little bit of her time.

In recent years, how has he treated her? After all, she was not a piece of wood. Deep down, how can she not notice it?

“For the sake of your sincerity, I will promise to go out with you today, but for next time, it depends.”

In front of so many people, Dong Shufen was actually very embarrassed. She was actually very nervous, being placed into the limelight so suddenly. Despite her proud posture and her calm appearance, her voice trembled as she spoke.

“Thank you, Ms. Dong!”

Hearing her response, Su Yuyang walked over to hand her a bouquet of roses. Then, the gentleman opened the car door.

“Thank you, Mom!”

Su Yaotian stepped forward and kissed Dong Shufen.

Mom finally agreed to let Dad pursue her. It was not in vain that he took his buddies to practice for so long to pose in a heart shape.

“You little devil!”

Dong Shufen poked Su Yaotian’s small nose.

Su Yuyang closed the door, bent down and looked at his son.

“Do you have any questions about dinner, homework, bathing, and sleeping by yourself tonight?”

“No, sir! I promise to get the job done well! Also, I have a tutor named Xiaomei.” Su Yaotian replied with a proud face.

Miss Xiaomei, the girl he said was going to be a police officer.

She was really excellent in all aspects. She studies well and is physically fit and dexterous, but her personality was somewhat cold.

His son, after seeing her on the first day of school, began to become a little follower of the person. He pestered Su Yuyang to help out and ask a teacher to apply for Xiaomei to become his tutor.

Su Yuyang, of course, wouldn’t refuse. This little beauty was one who would grow to become the beautiful police officer that went undercover in the original owner’s past.

At this point, after Su Yuyang dealt with the ‘good’ people of the Su family, the little memory deep inside his son that wasn’t willing to open up finally did.

He now knew more information about the task objective in advance.

Good boy… His son was so dedicated whether as a grown up or a young child when he met this girl. At least, now they could replace each other so quickly and start early.

“Dad, I helped you pursue the girl you like, so now you have to help me too!”

“I know, I know. If you need anything, just ask!”

Su Yuyang nodded.

“What are you two whispering about?”

Dong Shufen couldn’t help laughing when she looked at the two acting so similarly childish in the car.

The little girl her son likes, she also knew. Besides his father, the person Tian Tian would talk about the most is Tutor Xiaomei.

That girl didn’t live too far from their home, just about a block away. Only, her parents were always very busy at work, so she was frequently home alone. Su Yaotian, the kid, requested the teacher to let the girl give him extra lessons and spend more time with.

Then, his father actually went to meet the girl’s parents and offered to provide a place for their tutoring sessions and let his wife take care of the two together before her parents came home, as a token of gratitude for her hard work in tutoring him.

Hearing this gracious offer, the parents were suspicious at first, and they investigated Su Yuyang, thinking that this was probably a strange person who would hit on their child.

After they confirmed that things were clear, the two families were now on good terms.

Su Yuyang was also helpless at the time. In order to help his son chase his future daughter-in-law, he was very troubled.

There is a saying, ‘Heaven’s wheel is always turning’. His sins of making trouble for the little fatty Liang and his Father Liang for years in the beginning has finally come back to trouble him.

Sure enough, it would definitely be better to have a daughter. What’s the use of having a smelly boy? To chase his future wife, he troubled his own dad, such a black sheep of the family!

“It’s nothing, Mom. Have fun!”

Su Yaotian was a big kid. He waved at Dong Shufen and climbed into another car to go back. He still had to send all his classmates home first, and then went home with Xiaomei.

Humph, he learned how to make the ‘Delicacy For Chasing Heavenly Maidens’ from his Dad! This dish, if a girl eats it, she will definitely like him.

After working hard for so long, it’s time to show his true strength to the goddess!

Later, Xiaomei will surely be willing to go to and from school with him every day, do homework with him, go for a walk in the park with him on weekends, eat lollipops together, and when they grow up, they will be police officers and bring down the bad guys!

“Su Yaotian, you’re drooling.”

Qin Xiaomei coldly reminded him from the side, handing Su Yaotian a wet tissue with a disgusted face.

Ah, Uncle Su is so smart and handsome, and Aunt Dong is so gentle and generous. How could their son be such a chuuni?

(TNote: Chuuni/ Chuunibyou = Eight grade syndrome/is a colloquial Japanese term typically used to describe early teens who have delusions of grandeur, who so desperately want to stand out that they have convinced themselves they have hidden knowledge or secret powers. Yes, she literally used that word hahaha!)

“Ah? Heheh.”

Scrambling to take the tissue, he wiped his mouth. Su Yaotian then looked at Qin Xiaomei.

“Xiaomei, can I cook for you tonight?”

Dad said that a man who cooks was the most handsome. Every time his Mom ate the food cooked by his Dad, her eyes were very gentle. He will certainly let Xiaomei see his most handsome side.

“You?”

Qin Xiaomei sneered. Someone who doesn’t even know how tall he is is offering to cook for her?

“Uh huh! Just wait and eat! I will cook the ‘Delicacy For Chasing Maidens in Heaven and Earth’!”

Su Yaotian had a ‘I can do it!’ expression.

“…”

Hearing that, the corner of Qin Xiaomei’s mouth twitched. She was thunderstruck, thinking what the hell is the name of this dish? Who made it? It can’t be Father Su. He is so wise and powerful that her parents say that he was a good man and a great hero. Why would a great hero do such a chuuni thing? Su Yaotian must have made this up.

“My Dad taught me, and the name of the dish is also his original creation!”

Su Yaotian’s metaphorical slap came quickly, and Qin Xiaomei felt that her face hurt a little.

“You’re just going to let the two children stay at home like that?”

Dong Shufen looked at the car that just left, feeling a little uneasy. In the end, the mother worries more for her children than the father.

“It’s okay. Trust my son. Besides, I’ve asked Mom and Dad to come over and stay at my house, so they will be around if anything happens.”

Su Yuyang had already arranged everything, and nothing shall disturb his date with Shufen. This first step was very important in determining whether he can catch his wife or not.

“Well, Mr. Su, what do you have planned?”

Dong Shufen was relieved. Sure enough, this man was doing things very steadily now. In the end, she was the one who worried too much.

“When we get there, you will know.”

“Still so secretive?”

A hint of expectation bloomed in Dong Shufen’s heart.

In fact, she has always loved these little surprises.

It’s a great feeling when you receive a gift prepared by the other person with great care, not knowing what it was.

In the past, Su Yuyang didn’t even so much as give her a present, let alone a surprise.

Now, she felt that many things could be different between them in the near future.
