This is a matter of course.

Three wives and four concubines, a massive harem.

This is probably one of the ultimate dreams in a man's life.

But this was not Lin Yu's dream.

Lin Yu didn't like that.

It wasn't that Lin Yu didn't like women.

Nor was it that he didn't yearn for the decadent life of the emperors in TV dramas, with three thousand beauties in the harem, getting to be a bridegroom every night.

Lin Yu was a physically sound and healthy male.

He liked everything that ordinary men liked.

It was just that compared to these things, Lin Yu hoped more that the person he liked could be happier.

Yes.

When you like someone, how could you bear to see her unhappy?

Just imagine.

If one day you became the emperor.

In front of you is a flock of diverse beauties who squeezed into the palace from all over the country, chattering like swallows and orioles.

They twist their voluptuous bodies, pinch their voices with affectation, and coquettishly offer to serve you, to share your bed, and to give birth to countless princes and princesses.

Meanwhile, the person you like is pushed to the back by this group of seductive vixens.

She is powerless to compete with these bad women, so she can only stand there pitifully, tears in her eyes, looking at you with grievance, pinning all her hopes on the gaze she directs at you.

At this time, would you still choose to put one arm around two of them and charge into the bedchamber with these concubines like a knight leading a cavalry charge?

He didn't know about others.

But Lin Yu felt that if he were that emperor.

He would definitely scold that bunch of seductive vixens away, then go and embrace Tang Manman, wiping her tears while coaxing her with soft whispers.

That was how it was.

Compared to building a harem.

Lin Yu was even more unwilling to see the person he liked sad.

Because he liked her.

So he couldn't stand seeing her sad.

This was a matter of course.

But what about now?

Tang Manman was like a puppy that didn't want to part with its owner, clinging to his embrace.

Her beautiful peach-blossom eyes were brimming with tears enough to break anyone's heart at first sight.

The person he liked was shedding sad tears right in front of him.

Yet he could do nothing, not even daring to look into her eyes.

He could only watch helplessly as the person he liked felt sad.

And then, because he liked her.

He also uselessly felt sad along with her...

...

Tang Manman was still looking at him tearfully at this moment.

To escape Tang Manman's heartbreaking eyes, Lin Yu could only gently pull her into his arms, gradually applying some strength to hold her tight bit by bit.

He tilted his head slightly, gently pressing his cheek against the side of Tang Manman's forehead.

Hoping that this slightly forceful embrace could allow their restless hearts to feel some rare peace.

Tang Manman lay obediently in Lin Yu's arms.

Shedding tears silently.

She liked him too.

So she didn't want him to be sad because of her sadness.

Tang Manman and Lin Yu sat in the back seat, sorrowfully embracing each other, grieving over their imminent separation.

Meanwhile, the taxi driver driving in the front, who witnessed the whole process, had a somewhat indescribable state of mind.

When the two first got in the car, he looked at this damn blond-haired punk with great displeasure.

He was now a father himself, and although his daughter had just been promoted to kindergarten and was a hundred and eight thousand miles away from things like dating.

But what father wouldn't worry endlessly, usefully or uselessly, about his daughter's future?

So when he saw this damn blond punk who didn't look like a good person picking up such a well-behaved and pretty girl, his heart was full of the displeasure of seeing a good cabbage being ruined by a pig.

Furthermore, it was so late and they still weren't going home.

Obviously, this damn blond punk had already gotten his hands on the cabbage.

He was long past the age of being a blond punk himself.

So he would no longer empathize with the joy of a young male getting a taste, but instead began to share the pain of the girl's father.

But when he saw the two embracing intimately and reluctantly, and the seemingly unresolvable sorrow in their eyes, his heart suddenly softened a bit.

Why did the two look like a pair of mandarin ducks about to be beaten apart by clubs?

Could it be that the girl's parents were dissatisfied with this blond punk and were forcing the two to break up?

Hmm.

This was also human nature.

After all, no farmer would want the cabbage carefully raised in their own home to be ruined by a wild boar.

But then again.

Looking at the unfeigned sorrow in their eyes, his stance quietly shifted amidst his unbearable sympathy.

Actually, if the two truly loved each other.

Then as parents, it wasn't impossible to give them a chance...

...

What?

When my daughter grows up and finds a blond punk, I should give him a chance too?

I'll break his legs!

The late-night road was as empty as a no-man's land.

In a short while, the taxi arrived at the destination.

Lin Yu paid, and the two got out of the car.

Taking advantage of the time Lin Yu was paying, Tang Manman lowered her head and secretly wiped the tears from her face with her hand.

She didn't want to make Lin Yu sad again because of her crying during this brief time together.

Since they were still together now, they should be happy.

Thinking of this, Tang Manman sniffled, sweeping away the sorrow on her face, seemingly lifting her spirits, and a smile appeared on her face.

Taking the initiative.

She held Lin Yu's hand.

The two walked into the barbecue restaurant with their fingers intertwined, ready to eat!

Their financial situation was now completely free.

Lin Yu relied on Qing Mo, the wealthy lady.

And Tang Manman relied on her own knowledge and hard work, as well as the strong help of Qing Mo, the wealthy lady, without her knowledge...

In short.

Their financial situation now was completely unlike when they were in high school.

Now when they ate and ordered dishes, they could completely adopt the posture of a tycoon, only looking at what they wanted to eat without looking at the prices!

The two ordered some of the restaurant's specialties and some of their own favorites, and then sat at a spacious four-person table, ready to taste this restaurant and give it a proper rating.

To see if it was qualified to be selected as one of their regular dining spots!

The skewers were served very quickly.

The barbecue style in N City was quite different from that in H City.

Here, they wouldn't grill the meat half-cooked before serving it to you.

Instead, they directly gave you a small stove, sprinkled seasonings on the meat and skewers, and let you do it yourself to be well-fed and clothed.

Lin Yu actually quite liked this barbecue method.

Watching the pink and tender meat quickly cook and sizzle with oil under the high-temperature roasting.

This process made Lin Yu feel very relaxed!

Moreover, this barbecue method had another advantage.

That is, you can grill and eat at the same time, and the barbecue you eat is always fresh out of the oven, so you don't have to worry about the barbecue getting cold and changing its taste.

The two ate happily.

Completely won over by their own exquisite barbecue skills.

Completely forgetting the tiny bit of unpleasantness that happened on the road earlier.

But Zhao Dahu hadn't forgotten about this matter.

Lin Yu had finally opened his mouth to ask him to do something, so he was a hundred and twenty percent focused!

He even paused his own business first!
