Godly Stay-Home Dad (English)
The Blossoming of a Hundred Flowers!
The fireworks show lasted for 10 minutes.
This allows many people to enjoy the show according to their heart's content. Of course, the happiest person of all was Zi Yan.
Moments after the fireworks show ended, Zi Yan hugged Zhang Han's neck. Her cheeks practically shone with joy and happiness as she beamed at him.
Still smiling, he asked, “Is there any more surprises?”
“Er ... Well, there is only one small gift left!”
“Which one?”
“Kue your birthday.”
“Where is it?”
“There is inside,” said Zhang Han, pointing at the building.
“Hehe. Thank you. I'm very happy. ” Zi Yan unites her lips while smiling. Then he lifted himself up with his fingertips and planted a kiss on Zhang Han's lips.
What started with a light lip sweep immediately escalated into something else; the moment their lips came into contact with each other, the, Zhang Han took advantage of their closeness and pulled Zi Yan into his arms. After that, the kiss became long and deep.
Zi Yan blushed in embarrassment.
When the kiss ended, Zi Yan looked at Zhang Han timidly. Something moved within Zi Yan's eyes; waves of emotions crashed and churned as she conveyed the depth of her feelings through her eyes.
Then, his spell was broken by the voice of a little girl.
“Hey, come on, walk faster. Faster! Comeon! PaPa, PaPa, I want a kiss too. Come, PaPa! ”
Zhou Fei and the others approached the couple from their left side.
Located in Zhou Fei's arms, Mengmeng had long since started kicking up the commotion, urging Zhou Fei impatiently to bring her closer to her parents. But as they approached, Zhou Fei noticed that the couple was still using lip locking, so he tried to drag out a few more minutes to buy more time. In the end, when he saw that the little girl in his arms was about to cry, he took a step and walked towards the couple.
“Pfft!” A laughter exploded on Zi Yan's lips as she heard Mengmeng's voice.
Staring at Zhang Han with flashing eyes, he said, “Are you not going to spoil that little baby!”
Zi Yan glanced at Zhao Feng and the others, who all knew the smile on their lips. Zi Yan felt her cheeks heat up as a red hue slowly crept on her face.
“This is so embarrassing!” Thought Zi Yan.
Zhang Han nodded. Then, he took a few steps towards Zhou Fei. When he saw the way Mengmeng twisted her body in Zhou Fei's arms and desperately stretched out her tiny arms, Zhang Han couldn't help but laugh. With one quick move, he took the little princess into his arms.
“PaPa, you ignored me for so long. I want a kiss! “Kata Mengmeng with a frown.
Zhang Han laughed. “OK, okay, okay, this is a kiss,” he said before planting a kiss on Mengmeng's pink cheek.
“Eh?” Mengmeng froze for a while. Then, in an annoyed tone, he said, “No, no. I want it here. ”Mengmeng pointed to her little lips. “Di lip.”
#
“Alright, alright,” Zhang Han said and brought his lips closer together.
“Smooch!” Mengmeng's pale lips briefly touched Zhang Han. Only then did he feel satisfied.
“Ooh! Ooh, ooh, ooh! ”
Apparently, Dahei was also starting to get excited. It ran over and brought its thick lips closer to Zhang Han's face. Then, Dahei's big lips turned into a frown as it narrowed at Zhang Han.
After which, Dahei released two barking, as if saying, “Master! Kiss Dahei too! ”
The first reaction of Zi Yan, Zhou Fei, Zhang Li and the others when they saw Dahei's behavior was shocking. After a while, they all started laughing.
The corner of Zhang Han's lips moved slightly. His eyes widened into a sharp gaze as he struck Dahei with his right hand.
“You better sit on the side and stay there!” Zhang Han said in an irritated tone.
Kissing Zi Yan and Mengmeng was enough. Now Dahei wants to have some fun? There is no chance in hell!
“Ooh!”
Dahei pouted and scratched his Head. There was a look of hurt on its face. When Dahei saw Zhao Feng laughing beside it, it glared at Zhao Feng. It stretched out its right hand and gave Zhao Feng a shove.
Zhao Feng did the familiar stumble. “Ow, what is it now?”
Zhang Han laughed and shook his Head. Then, he paid Mengmeng towards Zi Yan and reached for Zi Yan’s hand.
“Let’s Head inside,” Zhang Han said. “I’m guessing everyone’s hungry? We can start dinner now.”
Zhou Fei, who was already famished, could not help but ask, “What kind of feat have you prepared for us tonight, brother-in-law?”
Zhang Han smiled. “Take a guess,” he said without really answering the question. After that, he led the way and walked toward the lobby.
Zi Yan, who had been listening to the exchange, felt that she knew what they were going to eat later. His eyes shone in joy.
When Zi Yan entered the lobby and took the setting and layout of the lobby, she beamed happily.
He was right all along; they were having a hot pot tonight!
Zi Yan once told Zhang Han that she enjoyed hot pots a lot. The fact that she had prepared a hot pot for tonight showed that she cared deeply for him.
“I'm so happy!” He thought as a wave of warmth filled his heart.
The group walked further into the lobby. Several changes have been made to the lobby lighting; the — regular lights that produce a warm orange light — have all been replaced with bright spotlights.
Dozens of people emerged from the two corridors beside the lobby with Ah Hu and the others taking the lead.
They all sing when they run. “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you! ”
“We wish you a happy birthday, Mrs Boss!” Dozens of people were all shouting at the same time. “Congratulations, Boss, to get the girl! Congratulations, Boss and Mrs. Boss, for tying the knot! ”
“Thank you, thank you,” Zi Yan said with a smile.
“You all worked hard today. Thank you guys.”
Zhang Han rarely said words of thanks to anyone. Even so, Zhang Han felt compelled to give sincere thanks to these people.
Ah Hu and the others felt extremely flattered, and not to mention shocked, at Zhang Han's expression of gratitude; one after another, one by one, they all started waving at Zhang Han as if they all felt unworthy of Zhang Han's gratitude.
“Hahaha!” Zhang Han laughed and said, “Quiet, everyone. Feel comfortable. And sit wherever you like. “
Zhao Feng waved at the crowd and said, “Take your seat, everyone. Eat and drink to your heart. Boss is happy today, so you guys can have as much fun as you want. ”
After that, everyone found a table and took their seats.
10 Tables have been set up in the lobby. Tables are arranged in two rows with five tables in each row. A large pot is placed in the center of each table. Around the hot pot, a myriad of raw materials filled the table space.
Zhang Han, Zhou Fei, Zhao Feng and the others had yet to sit down.
Zhang Han looked at Zhao Feng and said, “Bring the cake.”
“Roger that,” Zhao Feng said with a nod before he left.
“Eh?” Mengmeng froze as she heard Zhao Feng mention the cake. After which, his large eyes gleamed happily. He looked at Zhang Han. “Kue? Is this a birthday cake? ”He asked in a happy and surprised tone.
“Ya it's true.”
Raising his small arms above his head, Mengmeng let out cheers and squeaked. “Wow, very good! I want cake! I want to have a birthday cake! “
“Ahem!” Zi Yan cleared her throat and said, “You can only have one piece, okay?”
The remark made a sudden stop to cheer Mengmeng. “Eh?” Mengmeng said, pouting her lips and blinking her big eyes. “Oh, just one piece? But it's too little. ”Mengmeng thought for a moment. “Then, I want this piece,” Mengmeng draws a circle the size of a football with her finger, “big.”
#
“Oh, no, it won't work. If you have too many cookies ... ” Zi Yan was just about to refuse Mengmeng the cake when she saw Zhang Han shaking his head and smiling back at her.
# “It's okay. Mengmeng can have more\, ” Zhang Han said. “I make my own cake and all the ingredients I use all come from the mountain.I reduce the sugar in it and also quite nutritious. Don't worry\, okay? “
“Really?” Ask Mengmeng.
“Ya, really.”
Mengmeng was instantly fascinated. “Iya! Aye! Mengmeng wants a birthday cake. Mengmeng loves birthday cakes! ”
Afterwards, Zi Yan no longer tried to reject Mengmeng's cake. Instead, he shot a disapproving look at Zhang Han. “You only know how to spoil the rotten Mengmeng,” he said in an accusatory tone.
“Ha. Not really, “ Zhang Han said, bringing his face closer to Zi Yan. Her voice became a whisper. “I use a lot of fruits and vegetables to make cakes. It's very nutritious. And I don't use a lot of cream. Based on Mengmeng's usual taste, even if she ate the cake until she was full, it would be able to meet her nutritional needs. It is basically considered a complete meal. ”
“Huh!” Zi Yan released a small snort and glanced towards the corridor. “I haven't even seen that cake,” murmured.
Not only Zi Yan, but the eyes of Zhou Fei, Zhang Li, Luo Qing and Li Anna all glanced in the same direction. Considering all the grand gestures they had witnessed so far as well as Zhang Han's natural disposition, they half wished the cake was capable of spewing out sparks and fireworks!
#
Under everyone's gaze, Zhao Feng slowly pushed out the trolley holding the cake.
The cake was obscured by a large cake box, so no one could see what the cake actually looked like.
Immediately, Zhao Feng stopped the trolley in front of Zi Yan.
Zhang Li and the others quickly crowded around Zi Yan; they were all waiting for the moment the box was opened.
Mengmeng raised her palm into the air. With her childish voice, she voiced out what everyone was thinking back then. “Cake time! Cake time! Openup! Hurry up and open up! ”
“Ooh, ooh, ooh! Ow! Ooh, ooh! ”
Behind them, the two forces of Heihei were also quite excited.
Zhao Feng smiled at Zhang Han and said, “Bos, will you do the honors?”
Zhang Han nodded. “Good.”
Carrying Mengmeng with his left arm, Zhang Han placed his right palm on the top of the cake box.
Zhang Han raised his hand, and the cake box rose with spiritual power.
Correctly, this entire scene should have looked a little strange. But the strangeness that Zhou Fei and the others felt only lasted for a split second; as their attention was now fixed on the cake that was slowly revealed under the cake box rising.
#
Zi Yan's eyes widened as the box rose even higher. Finally, when the cake box was fully opened, he let out a surprised cry. “Ah!”
“F * ck, you are very delicate, sister-in-law.”
“Bro, since when do you have this kind of talent! So pretty! you did a fantastic job! “
“It's like a work of art. Oh God, there are even footprints! ”
“Wow, this statue looks too real.”
The woman's eyes almost popped out of their sockets the moment they saw the cake. They had seen this kind of cake before, but none of what they had seen in the past could hold a candle to the person sitting in front of them now.
“Eh?” Mengmeng, however, was stunned for a moment. Bending his lips in confusion, he said, “Isn't this my Xanadu? PaPa, Mama and Mengmeng are all in it. Big Heihei, Little Heihei, Dajin, Little Ha and the others, they were all there! ”
From behind, Dahei stuck out his head. When Dahei saw the cake, the gears inside his head started to spin. “Ooh! Ooh, ooh, ooh! ”Shouted the gorilla.
“Eh? Isn't that me making the cake ?! ”
Many people in the crowd were amazed because this was the first time they saw the touched expression on the gorilla's face.
“Meng, do you know what these words mean?” Zhang Han asked, pointing at the words in front of the cake.
“Um, um. Um. ”Mengmeng read those words. Then, he pouted and said, “I don't recognize these words.”
Zhang Han whispered to her, “It's okay, I'll teach you. Come on, tell me. ‘Happy birthday, dear Yan’. “
“Happy birthday, dear Yan!” Mengmeng repeated those words. Then, he grinned. “Happy birthday, dear Yan! Happy birthday, Mama! “Meng laughed giggly,” Time to eat cake! “
“Eat it as you know,” said Zi Yan, pulling her lower lip between her teeth. Then, he glanced at Zhang Han, his eyes filled with happiness. One by one, the surprises kept coming. He wondered how long he had been preparing for today!
Judging from the delicate and sophisticated design of the cake, he had no doubt that it took a long time.
Suddenly, something happened to Zi Yan. He remembered one morning where Zhang Han was nowhere to be found when he woke up. He remembered seeing the neatly made bed in Zhang Han's room. He also remembered the words he said to her that morning. Now he knew the truth; he had been out all night to prepare a cake.
A feeling of warmth coiled within Zi Yan's heart as she indulged her memories even further.
Zi Yan looked at Zhang Han happily. “He loves me so much. And I love him very much too. ”
#
Mengmeng began to feel impatient again. “I want cake! PaPa, I want a cake! ”
“All right, all right, wait a minute, okay? you have to wait until your mother blows out the candle and makes her request. ”
Zhang Han reached out his hand and scratched Mengmeng's little face. Then he put 27 candles on the cake and lit it.
At the same time, Instructor Liu was busy gesturing with his hand to give a signal. Moments later, the floodlights in the lobby were turned off.
Now, the only light source in the lobby came from the area where the cake was made. The candle lights weakly in the dark, a twinkling light illuminates the space around the cake.
“Mm,” said Zi Yan, nodding obediently.
He pressed his lips together and raised both of his hands to chest height before grasping them. His eyes fluttered close and he began to make his wish.
“Thank you, God, for bringing it into my life.I am so happy, and I hope our family will be happy too. Me, Zhang Han and also Mengmeng .. “
At that moment, under the warm glow of the candlelight and with eyes closed, all eyes were fixed on Zi Yan's delicate face like a moth was attracted to the fire.
She was truly beautiful; the truth was beyond a shadow of a doubt. For a moment there, Zhang Han found himself completely bewitched as he looked at her gently.
About 30 seconds later, Zi Yan slowly opened her eyes. He looked at Zhang Han with a satisfied smile. “I've made my wish!”
Following his words, he lowered his head and took a deep breath. “Suara whizzing..”
The lobby once again fell into the darkness as the candles were blown. Moments later, the floodlights in the lobby were turned back on.
Zhang Han smiled. “Alright, time to cut the cake!”
Mengmeng released another cheer. “Cake time!”
Zhang Li shared a view with Zhou Fei. “I want this part!” Zhang Li said.
“I'll take this!”
“And this one!”
“Eh?” Mengmeng looked at the two women in confusion.
“No, no, no!” Mengmeng said worriedly. “You can't eat Mengmeng. There's no way. You can't have Big Heihei either. Not dogs. Impossible!”
Zhang Li could barely hold back his laughter. “Then what can we even eat?”
“Eh? Um, um, eat, eat that little pig. Eat it, “ said Mengmeng with a straight face.
In the end, the cake was cut into many pieces. After that, all the wood carvings were removed from the cake and stored, very relieved for Mengmeng. Mengmeng ended up with the largest piece of cake plus a smaller extra piece. Now, Mengmeng was sitting at the table, happily digging up her cake.
“Um, let's see here. One little pig per bribe, “Mengmeng muttered to himself. “Hmm! One small duck per bribe and one goose per bribe. Eh? Isn't this biscuit? Yucks. Don't want to eat that. Huh I want cream .. “
It's safe to say that Mengmeng had fun with the cake.
Meanwhile, the others all started hot pots.
The atmosphere is very lively.
“Happy birthday, Elder Yan!”
“Happy birthday, sister-in-law!”
“Mrs. Boss, happy birthday! “
A cry of hope rang out on Zi Yan's table as Zhou Fei, Zhang Li and the others sitting at the same table raised their glasses simultaneously.
Zhang Han raised his own glass and only said two simple words, “Happy birthday.”
All his feelings have been conveyed during his sincere confession of love now. If nothing else, the look in his eyes now said it all.
Zi Yan raised her own glass and smiled at everyone. “Thank you. Thank you.”
Another choir request came from another table behind them.
“Happy birthday, Miss. Boss!”
The wish came from Ah Hu, Xu Yong, Instructor Liu and the others, who all had their glasses raised in the air.
Something else was also worth mentioning; the red wine in everyone's glasses back then was the same one Liu Qingfeng had brought before.
They opened only six bottles. Even so, the total amount that six bottles were worth was.
Other alcohols served are beer and white wine.
Ah Hu and his gang still prefer their usual style: sipping beer with their sleeves rolled up. Others, those with a more refined disposition, prefer white wine.
#
Something even more interesting was happening at one table in particular; namely, the table which had been taken up completely by Dahei and Little Hei. Right now, the two animals were shooting at the top of their lungs.
“Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!” Dahei lifted its wine glass, a pout forming on its lips as if it were trying to say something. If it were, figuring out the message it was trying to convey would be a no-brainier; obviously, this knuckleHead was trying to give a birthday wish.
Little Hei was anatomically incapable of raising a glass for a toast. There was a big bowl in front of Little Hei, which Dahei had poured some wine into just now. When Dahei was pouring the wine just now, Dahei had thumped its chest like a boss and screamed at Little Hei a few times, “Brother, let’s drink to our hearts’ content ton!”
After noticing that everyone was expressing their good wishes for Zi Yan, Little Hei glanced towards Zi Yan and raised her head. “Ooh, uh, ooh!”
Zhang Han stood up with a glass in his hand. He glanced at everyone and smiled.
“Thank you so much for today. Now, I'd like to toast. ”
Zhang Han raised his glass.
“This is for Zi Yan,” Zhang Han's clear voice sounded. “Happy birthday!”
Cries of screaming sounded from everywhere.
“Happy birthday, Miss. Boss /Old Sister Yan /in-law / MaMa / Ooh /Ouh!”
After which, everyone emptied the contents of their glasses into their throats.
Zi Yan's beautiful and shining eyes were fixed on Zhang Han, her heart swelling with happiness.
To him, Zhang Han was the closest thing to a perfect man. He is multi-talented, has a good personality, filial, and calm in the face of problems or difficulties. Even when faced with a crisis, he would never falter or panic; he made her feel safe. There were times where he seemed like a very relaxed person. Other times, he was open and honest. Also, he can be gentle too. By the time he realized it, Zi Yan was already drunk in every facet of her being.
If he really had to choose a mistake, then he thought there was one he could think of: the tendency to indulge Mengmeng. It made Zi Yan slightly happy that she was openly affectionate with her daughter, but at the same time, it also made her feel a little worried; she was afraid that Mengmeng would grow up to be a spoiled child. Over the years, Zi Yan had dug out certain details and habits into Mengmeng. But now, many of them had been torn apart by Zhang Han's endless scorn!
After a toast, fire and liveliness filled the atmosphere in the lobby.
After finishing the glass, everyone started cheering.
“Woo hoo!”
Even Leng Yue, who was usually cold and aloof, smiled and cheered with others. Leng Yue greatly admired his boss. His actions today proved to him that he was a man who had sand and steel bones, but also had a soft and sentimental side!
Who says a strong and successful man must be an alpha, macho man?
Who said a man like this should buy a beautiful woman's heart with money?
In Leng Yue's eyes, the most successful and brilliant man was someone like his boss!
The character and attractiveness of his superiors incited a great feeling of admiration for him and deserved to be entertained.
Encouraged by what everyone was doing, Dahei also raised his glass.
Dahei finished his glass with a single sip.
Little Hey stuck out her tongue and licked her own plate clean.
With the end of the toast, the party spirit within everyone darted through the roof.
Zhang Li watched his own brother with eyes full of admiration. “Friends! I really never expected you to be so cool! You're so cool! I love you to death, bro! ”
Mengmeng left her cake when she heard Zhang Li's statement.
“Eh?” The boy raised his head.
“Who is that? Who mentioned loving PaPa to death again? ”Think.
For a few seconds, Mengmeng simply stared at Zhang Li. Then, he let out a gentle hum and muttered something inaudible. Mengmeng lowered her head and returned to her cake.
Zhang Li raised his glass once more and smiled at Zi Yan. “Sister-in-law,” said Zhang Li, “now you are officially my sister-in-law.I hope that the love between you and my sister will last forever. May you stay together until you are both old and gray. ”
“Thank you,” Zi Yan said. Then, he raised his wine glass timidly towards Zhang Li for a toast. The two women each took a small sip from their glasses.
Zhou Fei took a large mouthful of wine. “Chairman Sister Yan, I'm really happy for you!” She said, her eyes turned red. “I'm so happy that you and brother-in-law finally have each other.”
It was now Li Anna's turn. “Repot Zhang Han, Sister Zi Yan, congratulations. May your future life be blessed with happiness and joy! “
“…”
Among all the wishes the couple received, it was Zhang Li and Zhou Fei's wishes that moved them the most, so they almost cried.
They had to go through a lot of hardships and suffering to have this happy day.
Happiness does not come easily!
After two glasses of wine, the hot pot party begins.
The seductive aroma of fresh meat and vegetables is heaven for taste.
Half an hour passed very quickly.
Half full, everyone was talking comfortably.
“Ding ..”
Zi Yan's phone rang.
He pulled out his phone and stared at the screen. Almost immediately, his lips pressed into a tight line. He looked at Zhang Han and said, “This is my father. Where's the bathroom? I'll wash my hands and then take a call. “
“There is in the middle of the corridor on the right,” replied Zhao Feng.
Zi Yan stood up and glanced towards the corridor. His eyes looked for Zhang Han again.
Zhang Han smiled and stood up as well. “I'll go with you,” he said, stepping beside Zi Yan.
The couple walked towards the corridor. Along the way, Zi Yan answered her phone.
“Hai dad.”
“Xiao Yan, you know what day it is today?”
“What day?” Zi Yan replied lazily.
“It's your birthday, of course. Xiao Yan, happy birthday. “
“Hehehe. I'm celebrating with a lot of people this year. ”
“Is that so? Too bad your mother and I can't be there to spend your birthday with you. You gotta keep yourself there, you hear me? Go home if you can't manage it. You're not too young anyway. It's time you found yourself a boyfriend. The clan keeps mentioning about arranging arranged marriages for you. “
“I don't want an arranged marriage or anything. I want to find my own happiness! ”
“Argh, Xiao Yan, you know how the people in the clan were ..” Before Zi Yan's father could finish, he was interrupted by a voice accusing a woman. “Hei! Why are you talking about it on his birthday? Give me the phone. I want to talk to my daughter. “
After which, Zi Yan heard her mother's voice through the speaker.
“Xiao Yan, happy birthday, okay? Don't talk about those sad things. Today should be your happy day. ”
“Mm.”
“So, how have you been all this time?”
Zi Yan started chatting with her mother.
His parents had very little power within the clan, so they did not say much in any case. Zi Yan knew very well that her father had told her those things now that the elders in the clan had raised the topic of her marriage. No doubt their plan was to marry her off to the young master of another powerful family so that the marriage would benefit the clan.
Even so, Zi Yan would never agree to it. The reason he left in the first place was precisely to avoid his life being unnaturally arranged by his clan. His actions had enraged many of the old men back then. Even so, Zi Yan did not care.
This was one of misery as it was born in a powerful clan. Some people may get used to it and accept it as an inevitable part of their lives while others may rebel against it; ultimately, it all depends on the worldview of those involved.
Zi Yan and her mother chatted for a while.
Zi Yan shared a closer bond with her mother. As the conversation progressed, Zi Yan turned her head and glanced at Zhang Han. He bit his lower lip; his pulse started to beat fast.
“Bu, well, um.. There's something I have to tell you.”
“What is it? Oh come. Just spit it out, huh? Why are you even stammered when only I speak to you? ”
“I, I ..”
Zi Yan was so nervous that she felt as if her heart was about to jump down her throat. “I, I .. I've ..”
“Already ... have one.”
“Have one?” Zi Yan's mother. Suddenly, Zi Yan heard a shout from her father. “What do you mean? Got what? You mean you have a boyfriend? ”
“Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, hurry and tell us. What do you have? “Mother Zi Yan asked in panic.
“I ... I ..”
Zi Yan felt herself becoming dizzy; her anxiety made her palms sweat and get wet.
