A Person To Rely On

Fang Ya and He Feng chatted for more than two hours in the beverage shop. Both of them had gained a feeling of mutual appreciation.

Although it was not to the extent of getting married right away, at least the two of them did not hate each other.

For Fang Ya, it had been a long time since anyone was able to make her truly say the words that had been buried in her heart.

He Feng sent Fang Ya home and then rushed to his old leader's house to pick up his son.

Tang Tang had already been taken to her own home by the large woman.

The woman had often said that Tang Tang would be her future daughter-in-law. Now, she had to let her eat, drink, and have all kinds of fun.

Fang Ya was helpless, but she also knew that the woman had been nothing but genuinely kind to Tang Tang.

Fang Ya always advised the woman not to spoil Tang Tang too much, or she would grow pampered.

The woman's theory, however, was that she had to spoil this future daughter-in-law well. Otherwise, what if someone gave her candy and ran off with her!

Fang Ya was both helpless and gratified by the woman's theory. With the woman helping her take care of Tang Tang, she had indeed saved a lot of effort.

Fang Ya knocked on the door of the woman's house and heard Tang Tang's excited laughter. Fang Ya could not help but shake her head and smile.

The next second, the woman opened the door and asked Fang Ya, "How was it? Happy?"

Fang Ya nodded slightly, a faint smile slipping in from the corners of her mouth.

The woman pulled Fang Ya inside without any explanation. "Come, come, come in and talk to me."

Fang Ya did not refuse and followed her in.

When Tang Tang saw that Fang Ya had come, she swung her small hands that were full of mud and rushed over. "Mommy!"

Fang Ya hugged her daughter and kissed her face twice.

The woman held Tang Tang's small hands and rushed her to the tap at the side.

Fang Ya looked at Tang Tang being tugged around by the large woman and could not help but find it amusing.

Tang Tang followed the two of them into the house and automatically climbed onto Fang Ya's legs.

Leaning comfortably on Fang Ya's body, Tang Tang let out a breath. "Mommy, where did you go today?"

Fang Ya paused for a moment, not knowing how to answer her question.

Seeing this, the woman smiled and asked Tang Tang, "Does Tang Tang want a father?"

"Yes!" Tang Tang nodded without hesitation.

"Then, can you find a new father for Tang Tang?" The woman continued to ask.

Tang Tang looked at the woman with a half-understanding look. She frowned and thought for a moment. "Why do you want a new father?"

"Does Tang Tang like old father very much?" Seeing this, the woman asked again.

This time, Tang Tang fell into deep thought.

Fang Ya looked at her daughter with some nervousness. She did not know how she would react.

After a long while, Tang Tang raised her head and looked at the woman. "Tang Tang doesn't like old father!"

"But..." Tang Tang hesitated again. "Father is father!"

Hearing Tang Tang's words, Fang Ya finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Only then did the woman pinch Tang Tang's little face and smile. "That Daddy is old, we don't want him anymore!"

"Let's change to a new one, okay?" The woman pressed on.

Tang Tang thought about it very seriously. "Like changing to a new doll?"

"Yes! Would Tang Tang like new dolls?" The woman probed again.

Tang Tang nodded heavily. "Tang Tang likes new dolls! Tang Tang likes new fathers!"

Seeing this, Fang Ya smiled bitterly at the woman.

When manipulated and led on in such a way, it was no wonder that Tang Tang was willing to stay at the woman's place every day.

The woman looked at Fang Ya with a smug look on her face.

The woman pulled Fang Ya over to chat a little more.

After a while, Tang Tang fell into a deep sleep in Fang Ya's arms.

Fang Ya was about to leave with the child in her arms, but the woman stopped her. "Let Tang Tang sleep here for a while."

"I still have some stuff to say to you," the woman said seriously.

Seeing the woman's expression, Fang Ya nodded. She put Tang Tang on the small bed at the side, covered her with a quilt, and sat back down in the small hall.

"That person, what do you think?"The woman asked nervously. "I heard that he's a soldier!"

"I've never seen this person before!" The woman was a little conflicted. "My contact simply said that he's a very reliable man!"

The woman was a little hesitant, and then she continued, "Originally, I wanted to introduce you to my biological brother."

"But after thinking about it, that guy doesn't have a proper job." The woman shook her head and said, "Although he works as a chauffeur for some boss..."

"It's a superficial job. It's not that reliable." The woman shared her point of view.

"Uncle Li happened to say that he has a friend who just recently got divorced." The woman said with some distress, "It sounds like the conditions are good. That's why I asked you to take a look."

Fang Ya looked at the woman and knew that she was really worried about her. She smiled and said, "Well, don't worry. This person is very reliable."

The woman finally calmed down.
