Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1204: Chapter 1205: Wanting to Become Sworn Family with You

Cheng Su didn’t expect Cheng Yaozu to personally bring the mooncakes, nor did she expect him to find his way to Joy Soon Loy Restaurant.

”How did you end up here? You didn’t even say you were coming. What if I wasn’t here? You would’ve come for nothing!” Cheng Su took the several boxes of mooncakes and handed them to a nearby waiter, leading him to sit down in the office.

”How big can Qing City be? Just a taxi ride after leaving the train station gets me here!” Cheng Yaozu chuckled, ”If you’re not home, I can hang out with Ying Xiaoya!”

Cheng Su raised an eyebrow, looked him up and down, and said, ”You’re like Xiang Zhuang performing sword dance targeting Liu Bang, aren’t you? Bringing me mooncakes is just an excuse; you’re really here for the beauty, aren’t you!”

Cheng Yaozu touched his nose and said, ”No way, I’m on a mission.”

”What mission?”

Cheng Yaozu sat down and said, ”Our family member Jia Sheng is planning to join the Qing City Military Region, so I’m scouting the path for him.”

Cheng Su snorted and mimicked his words, ”Qing City is only so big. How could such a big person like him get lost?”

”Also, I’m here to talk to Ning Ge about something. There’s been some progress on the issue he was worried about. Has he come back yet?” Cheng Yaozu asked again.

”He’s still in the Capital these days. What’s the matter?” Cheng Su was a bit curious. Ning Ge had something to ask of the Cheng family?

”Men’s business, women don’t interfere!” Cheng Yaozu wagged his finger.

Cheng Su smirked, picked up her tea, and took a sip.

”And, from now on, you have to call me Fourth Brother!” Cheng Yaozu suddenly said, ”So, you have to show me more respect!”

Poof!

Cheng Su spat out her tea.

Cheng Yaozu looked at her with disdain.

”Can you speak properly?” Cheng Su rolled her eyes at him.

Cheng Yaozu said, ”If this isn’t proper, then what is in your eyes? Our old man said, if you’re willing, he wants to formally recognize you as a goddaughter. So, if you become his goddaughter, you have to call me Fourth Brother!”

Cheng Yaozu repeated it, feeling it rolled off the tongue, and said, ”Come on, call it once and let’s hear it!”

”Stop, stop, stop, what did you say? Formally recognize a god connection?” Cheng Su stared at Cheng Yaozu in disbelief. Did she hear wrong?

”You unwilling?” Cheng Yaozu squinted his eyes.

Cheng Su said, ”It’s not about whether I’m willing or not, it’s just, isn’t this too sudden? Out of nowhere, why recognize a god connection?”

”You know the Cheng family has plenty of people, but no girls. It so happened that my dad feels a connection with you and always says you resemble my aunt, so he wants to recognize a god connection and become family!” Cheng Yaozu replied.

Cheng Su still felt quite surprised and a bit unreal. It’s a bit too sudden, right? She said, ”We haven’t met that many times, isn’t this a bit reckless?”

”Fate between people isn’t measured by the number of meetings, it’s about the connection. The old man likes you, and we all think you’re great. It’s just a formal thing to recognize a god connection, just getting closer.” Cheng Yaozu looked at her and said, ”Could it be that you’re unwilling? You wouldn’t think our family wants to take advantage of you, right?”

Cheng Su chuckled, ”I have no roots or foundation, what is there for you to take advantage of? You’re overthinking it!”

”Then it’s settled!” Cheng Yaozu clapped his hands and said, ”Actually, we do want something!”

Cheng Su looked at him unexpectedly.

”Sincerity. Your sincerity.” Cheng Yaozu said, ”The old man is turning seventy this year. If he’s lucky, he might live another ten or so years, if not... We hope that in his later years, he can truly be happy. He likes you; he sees you as both daughter and sister, so we want your sincerity.”

Cheng Su was stunned.
