I almost touched the moon

When Cheng Che arrived at his grandmother's house, the banquet hall was already full of guests. The housekeeper took the things from his hand attentively, took him to the upper seat and said, "Master, you are finally back. The old lady has been talking about you for a long time."

As he was talking, Cheng Che's grandmother came up to him, hit him lightly and said angrily, "You are so heartless. You came back so late. What have you been doing?"

"Good news." Cheng Che said with a mysterious smile, "I'm accompanying my girlfriend. You've been urging me to find a girlfriend every day, so I must spend more time with her."

"That makes sense." Grandma smiled so much that all the wrinkles on her face were smiling, and asked curiously, "Who is your girlfriend? Is she Miss Wu? She's here today too, why don't you come with her?"

"Grandma, how many girlfriends can I have? You've seen them, haven't you?" Cheng Che said quickly, "For all these years, I've only had one girlfriend, Songsong. I wanted to bring her to your birthday party this time, but she hasn't had her holiday yet and has a lot of things to do at the end of the semester, so she can't leave. But she asked me to send the gift here, which I picked especially for you. Come and see if you like it."

After saying that, Cheng Che unfolded the scroll in his hand and handed it to his grandmother, "Songsong knows that you like Qi Baishi's paintings, so I specially prepared this "Eternal Youth"."

Grandma Cheng Che looked at the scroll and said calmly, "This is too expensive. Tell Professor Wen that it's enough to show your appreciation. There's no need to give such an expensive gift."

Then he said to the housekeeper, "Please take it to the study and hang it up for me."

After the housekeeper left, grandma whispered to Cheng Che, "Don't pretend. You had someone buy this painting at Christie's before. Don't think I don't know. Have you reconciled with Professor Wen?"

"No, Songsong and I chose and bought it together, but I asked Assistant Chen to take the photo." Cheng Che explained with a smile, "As long as grandma likes it, we'll both be happy."

"I can only be happy if you are happy." Grandma sighed, "To be honest, I don't really approve of Professor Wen marrying you, but since you like me, what can I do? Can your father and I break up a couple?"

After that, she patted Cheng Che's hand again and said kindly: "Grandma is old, I just hope you can be smooth and successful, I will be worthy of your mother."

Hearing the name of his mother, Cheng Che felt a little bitter for a moment. If his mother were still alive, perhaps he would not be in such a difficult situation now.

At this time, Cheng Bowen and Yang Wanqing came over together. When Cheng Bowen saw Cheng Che, he still didn't smile. He said unhappily, "You still remember to come back. Governor Wu and Miss Wu are here too. Let's go over and say hello together."

"No." Cheng Che immediately refused coldly, "Dad, I have a girlfriend, can you please stop trying to match me up with someone else?"

"Girlfriend, what girlfriend?" Cheng Bowen asked in surprise, "Didn't you break up with Lawyer Wen's daughter? Why are you getting back together? Are you stupid? You've fallen into the same trap twice..."

"Shut up!" Cheng Che's grandfather also came over. Hearing Cheng Bowen's words, he stopped him in a displeased voice and said in a low voice, "If Ah Che likes it, let him do it. Do you think everyone is like you? You don't even know how to fall into a trap, but you only care about harming others."

"Dad, I'm educating my child, can you please stop interfering?" Cheng Bowen was a little unhappy, but he knew he was in the wrong, so he could only whisper, "I was young and ignorant..."

"You're over fifty and still young. I'm ashamed for you." Cheng Che's grandmother scolded him angrily, "Ah Che is so old now. Let him decide on his own marriage. We shouldn't get involved."

Cheng Che immediately smiled and said to his grandparents, "Thank you, grandpa and grandma. When Songsong is on vacation, I will bring her home for dinner."

Yang Wanqing also smiled and smoothed things over: "Yes, Professor Wen is Axuan's professor. I heard from Axuan that she is the youngest associate professor in the Faculty of Physics at the University of Munich and a pillar among young scientists. She is really good. Ache, when you have time, you can teach Axuan how to pursue such an outstanding girlfriend."

When the banquet was almost over, Cheng Che went to the courtyard to get some fresh air and suddenly saw a figure in a formal suit smoking stealthily.

He quietly walked forward and whispered, "Stop smoking, I saw your dad."

"Cheng Che, you're going to die!" The girl was so scared that she dropped her cigarette on the ground. She patted her chest and said, "You scared me into having a heart attack."

"Why did you return home?" Cheng Che asked, "Let me make it clear first. I won't help you deal with your father. Otherwise, my girlfriend will misunderstand me and send me to Venus."

The girl smiled and said, "Go ahead. You will be the first person in human history to land on Venus. Wow, your contribution will go down in history."

"Wu Qianlan, if you keep talking nonsense, I will go and complain to my mother-in-law that you are absent from work and have her deduct your salary." Cheng Che also threatened jokingly.

"I'm not absent from work. I was on a business trip back to Hangzhou, but my dad dragged me here. What a sin." Wu Qianlan sighed and said to Cheng Che, "Look at how proud you are. Has Professor Wen agreed to get back together with you?"

"Yes." Cheng Che raised his left hand and showed off, "How about it? She gave it to me, and she put it on me personally."

"Mmm, it looks good. It's awesome."

Wu Qianlan said perfunctorily, lighting another cigarette and looking Cheng Che up and down, "Professor Wen has poor taste. You are not as good-looking as the assistant my boss recently hired. Wow, that guy is really handsome. He just graduated from college this year and is so young that you can pinch water out of him. He looks like a young Leo, and he is 1.9 meters tall. He is so handsome. Every day when I see him at work, my mouth waters."

Cheng Che also laughed and said to her, "My wife praises me for being handsome every day, what's it to you? I wanted to talk to my mother-in-law for you and ask her to help you chase that handsome boy."

"I'm not going." Wu Qianlan refused immediately. "I'd better not harm children. My dream is to be like my boss, a beautiful, wealthy, successful, independent woman. It's too perfect to leave the father and keep the daughter. How could there be such a perfect person as my boss in this world. Besides, if you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have thought her daughter is that old. At first I thought she was at most 35, and I called her sister, but she said her daughter is older than me."

"Yes, my mother-in-law is very good, otherwise she wouldn't have taught my wife so well." Cheng Che said with some pride, "But there is a big gap between you and her. Governor Wu, go and explain things to your father quickly, otherwise I'll be dead if my wife finds out."

"Ok, I've already told my dad that I'm not interested in you. You don't look like my type." Wu Qianlan said while smoking, "My dad is about to retire and has nothing to do. Fortunately, I went to Switzerland, otherwise I would really be depressed. Cheng Che, why do you keep talking about your wife? You are in love."

Cheng Che whispered, "If she were your girlfriend, you would also be in love."

"That makes sense." Wu Qianlan nodded in agreement, "Professor Wen is so beautiful. Why isn't she a T? If she were a T, I could marry her."

"Aren't you a straight woman?" Cheng Che was a little speechless, "My wife is also a straight woman!"

"But I can become gay for her." Wu Qianlan patted Cheng Che's shoulder and said, "Little Cheche, you have to have a sense of crisis. Professor Wen may not be attracted to men, but he is definitely attracted to women. He is the perfect match for the lesbian community."

Cheng Che found it funny and speechless at the same time, "Then I'm really glad that she's straight."

After the dinner, Yang Wanqing called Cheng Che to the study room, smiled gently and said, "Seeing that you are happy now, Mom is relieved. When you are free, bring Professor Wen back for dinner, okay?"

"Okay." Cheng Che also responded with a smile, and joked, "But I'm afraid if she comes, Xuan will be scared."

"This brat, thanks to you, he only listens to you as his brother."

Yang Wanqing took out another brocade box and handed it to Cheng Che, saying, "This is a gift I prepared for Professor Wen. I wonder if she will like it."

Cheng Che opened it and took a look. Inside was a white jade bracelet. He quickly retreated and said, "Mom, this is too valuable. Please keep it for yourself."

"Keep it. Mom doesn't have any good stuff. This was given to me by my mom. She told me to pass it down to my daughter." Yang Wanqing smiled with some regret, "But I don't have a daughter either, so I thought, since this is a pair, I'll give one to you and A Xuan's wife. It's not a valuable thing, I hope you and Professor Wen don't mind it."

"Mom...thank you." Cheng Che was filled with gratitude and touched after hearing her words. He nodded and said, "I will definitely give it to her. She will definitely like it very much. When she is free, I will bring her to your house to see you."

Not long after leaving his grandparents' house, Cheng Che received a call from Wen Song. He picked up the phone immediately, "Baby, what's the matter? I'm on my way home and will be there soon."

"A Che..." Wen Song's voice actually had a tearful tone, "I'm at the Vila Club, can you come pick me up?"

Familiar words, familiar tone, Cheng Che felt a dull pain in his heart unconsciously, and immediately said to her: "I'll be there now, can you wait for me? I'll be there soon."
