Liu Yifeng put down his schoolbag and picked up the shovel, taking over the kitchen work.
"By the way, Daddy, if you have a chance, can I invite my classmates over? I've told them about our move and that I have an exhibition hall."
Tongtong ate a lot of dinner today, perhaps truly happy. After finishing his meal, he suddenly poked his little head out and looked at Liu Yifeng.
"Of course, this is your decision, you don't need to ask me. Plus, we've moved to a new home, and it's meant to be lively. So, Daddy has also decided to invite my friends over for dinner."
It was evident that Tongtong was worried about his identity, which was why he asked. Liu Yifeng didn't want Tongtong to worry about him; he just wanted him to be himself.
"Okay, Daddy, then your friends will come first, then my friends, and then Grandpa's friends. That way, our home will be lively."
Tongtong stretched out his small fingers, counting the number of people who would be coming, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Soon, Saturday arrived.
Before this, Liu Yifeng had invited all his close friends. Because of his good character, everyone he invited came.
"Thank you all for coming to my housewarming today. I told you before, just your presence is enough, no need to bring anything else. Now look, you've brought more things than I've prepared food, making me feel I've neglected you."
Liu Yifeng was truly grateful for everyone's presence. Since Tongtong had always said their home was large and he wanted it to be lively, Liu Yifeng had invited everyone he could, hoping for a lively atmosphere.
"Brother Liu, what are you saying? We brought gifts because we're happy. And your villa is indeed luxuriously decorated. When I renovate, you must introduce me to your designer."
Peng Zhou was dressed casually today, clearly here for the gathering. When they weren't cooperating, they didn't interact much, but now he seemed like a good person.
"Mr. Peng, you always know how to talk. Brother Liu, congratulations. Honestly, though I don't want to repeat what Mr. Peng said, the decoration is indeed beautiful. And Tongtong's exhibition hall is even more amazing. I'll have to get one for myself later, to display my models."
Zhang Jin looked at Liu Yifeng and then at the luxurious decoration again, finding it incredibly pleasing.
"You two bosses are too kind. Since you like it, I'll handle the renovation issues. It's a small matter."
As Liu Yifeng said this, he glanced at Tongtong, after all, this great designer was their Tongtong.
Tongtong sat on his child's chair, looking very proud.
"Alright, it's settled then. You said it!" Hearing Liu Yifeng's words, Peng Zhou, afraid he would go back on his word, immediately raised his wine glass, intending to seal the deal.
Liu Yifeng knew Peng Zhou wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. However, it was a happy day, and he was also delighted, so he raised his wine glass as well.
"No problem."
"Congratulations." After the business people finished chatting, Su Wanru saw Liu Yifeng tidying up in the living room and slowly approached him.
Seeing Su Wanru, Liu Yifeng felt she looked different today, much gentler, completely unlike her usual capable self.
"Thank you, today... you look beautiful." Perhaps women liked to be praised, so he felt he was seeing a different side of Su Wanru today and couldn't help but want to compliment her.
Su Wanru was quite taken aback by Liu Yifeng's words. She had only thought that since it was a formal gathering, she should dress more gently.
"Th-thank you."
This Liu Yifeng made Su Wanru feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Oh, I mean, I've never seen you dress like this before. You were always working before, so maybe I didn't see this side of you. That's why... I'm sorry."
Noticing Su Wanru's awkwardness, he realized his words had been rather sudden.
"It's okay, it's okay. I also feel a bit uncomfortable dressed like this, but still, congratulations." Hearing the explanation, Su Wanru became more natural.
Liu Yifeng smiled and said nothing more, realizing that it was more natural for the two of them to talk about work.
Today was an open-house party. Because it was a villa, Liu Yifeng had specifically left a small lawn area at the back, hoping to have opportunities for camping there in the future.
He hadn't expected to enjoy its benefits on the very first day of moving in.
"Thank you all for coming today. Please eat and drink well. This food is our company's pure natural organic lettuce. Try it and see if it's not incredibly fresh and even has a hint of sweetness."
Everyone saw the salad in front of them and the lettuce beside the grilled meat. Its vibrant green color was indeed very appealing.
"Brother Liu, you're quite the promoter. If I had known so many big bosses would be here, I would have brought a few of my model toys too."
Everyone burst into laughter at Wu Haoyu's words.
The entire party atmosphere was incredibly comfortable. There was no business talk, no backstabbing, allowing everyone to immerse themselves in the moment.
It was getting late. The dinner party ended around ten o'clock. As Liu Yifeng saw everyone off, his mood remained buoyant.
"Daddy, Tongtong is so happy. It's been a long time since we had so many people at home. If we could have events like this often, I think I would be the happiest person alive."
Tongtong lay in bed, still reminiscing about the day's events. He seemed genuinely delighted; Liu Yifeng hadn't seen him smile so happily in a long time.
"Okay, since we have the space, if Tongtong likes it, we'll hold such activities regularly." He hugged Tongtong tightly, trying his best to fulfill his wishes.
But after Liu Yifeng finished speaking, he didn't hear an excited response. He looked down and realized the little guy had fallen asleep with a smile on his face.
A doting smile spread across Liu Yifeng's lips. He suddenly wished they had moved in earlier so they could have enjoyed this happiness sooner.
Looking at his son, he truly felt blissful. When he first arrived, he was a little unaccustomed to this life. But once he adapted, he realized how much this son had done for him. He felt like an unqualified father. As he thought about it, he gently kissed his son's forehead.
