Chapter 1191: Reliving Tong Lei's Tenderness

After dinner,

Tong Lei wiped her daughter's mouth with a tissue and teased her with a smile, "You little glutton, your mouth is all greasy!"

"Hehe..." Xiao Zhixi smiled sweetly.

Lin Lang picked up Xiao Zhixi, who had eaten and drunk her fill and let out a small burp, and put her in his arms. The little one hugged his neck and rested her head on his shoulder, still savoring the sweet and sour pork with pineapple.

"Come on, Daddy will take you to see cartoons." Lin Lang patted his daughter on the back and strode towards the living room.

Tong Lei followed closely behind, carrying a fruit platter. The platter contained neatly arranged slices of strawberries, bananas, and apples, each adorned with a small fruit skewer.

Lin Lang, the clone, conscientiously tidied the table and went to wash the dishes, showing a strong sense of being a tool.

The wall-mounted LCD TV in the living room lit up, and when Lin Lang changed the channel, he happened to stop at the animation channel that was playing "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

In 2005, the "Pleasant Goat craze" swept the country, and Red Wolf's frying pan and Pleasant Goat's cleverness became the favorites of countless children.

Wow, it's Pleasant Goat!

Xiao Zhixi was already rubbing her eyes with sleepiness, but as soon as she saw the little sheep jumping around on the screen, she instantly perked up.

Xiao Zhixi sat up straight in Lin Lang's arms, her little hands tightly gripping his big hands, her big eyes fixed on the screen, even her breathing became lighter.

When Grey Wolf was blown up by Pleasant Goat's trap and disappeared from the scene shouting "I'll be back!", Little Zhixi clenched her little fists and cried out in her childish voice, "Pleasant Goat is so amazing! Grey Wolf is a bad guy!"

After shouting, she shrank closer to Lin Lang, as if afraid that Grey Wolf would run out of the TV.

Lin Lang looked down at his daughter's adorable expression as she focused on watching cartoons, his eyes full of smiles. He gently scratched her little chin with his finger, making Xiao Zhixi giggle nonstop.

Tong Lei sat on the sofa, picked up a strawberry and held it to Xiao Zhixi's lips: "Xi'er, eat a strawberry before you watch."

The little one's eyes were glued to the TV when she instinctively opened her mouth and bit into it. The sweet juice melted in her mouth, and she mumbled, "Mommy, the strawberry is so sweet!"

She glanced at her mother perfunctorily, then quickly looked back at the screen, afraid of missing a single shot.

Then, Tong Lei handed Lin Lang a piece of apple and said with a smile, "Honey, you should have some fruit after your meal too."

Lin Lang took a bite of apple, then pulled Xiao Zhixi closer to his arms to make her more comfortable, and chuckled softly, "Wife, look how cute Xi'er is when she's engrossed in watching cartoons."

Tong Lei patted her daughter's head and said with a smile, "What child doesn't like watching cartoons?"

On TV, the lambs were cheering around the grass cake, and Xiao Zhixi's lips curled up slightly as she watched, her little face still smeared with juice from the fruit she had just eaten.

Tong Lei picked up a tissue and gently wiped her clean. She only raised her head symbolically before immediately immersing herself back into the story.

Lin Lang watched TV while occasionally accepting fruit from Tong Lei. They would sometimes exchange glances, their eyes filled with peace and happiness.

Xiao Zhixi was completely absorbed by the story on the screen, and even her little feet swayed gently in sync with the movements of the lambs.

The laughter on TV, Xiao Zhixi's occasional adorable exclamations, and Tong Lei's gentle laughter intertwined to create a warm family serenade.

Lin Lang held his daughter in his arms, and Tong Lei leaned against him. The family of three snuggled together on the sofa, letting time flow slowly in this harmonious atmosphere, filling the room with a peaceful and warm feeling.

Before I knew it, the night outside the window had grown even darker.

The fruit in the fruit bowl was almost gone, and the animated series "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" had ended. Little Zhixi was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open.

The little guy was so soft and cuddly, he fell asleep in Lin Lang's arms like a little angel.

Tong Lei leaned down and kissed her daughter's cheek, then said with a smile, "Honey, Xi'er was tired from playing today and fell asleep before she even got back to her little bed."

Lin Lang adjusted his holding position to make Xiao Zhixi more comfortable in his arms. He looked at his daughter with doting eyes and said gently, "This little rascal has finally calmed down."

Tong Lei said with a wry smile, "Your precious daughter, she plays as soon as she opens her eyes every day, and she doesn't like to take a nap. I don't know how she has so much energy every day."

Lin Lang kissed Tong Lei on the cheek and said affectionately, "You've worked so hard, my wife. Since you became pregnant with our daughter, you've retired from acting and become a full-time housewife taking care of the baby at home."

Tong Lei nestled against Lin Lang, saying happily, "It's not hard work. Before I had my daughter, I thought that winning acting awards and becoming a big star was the pursuit and dream of my life."

"But after my daughter was born, I felt that all the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry couldn't compare to my daughter's company and her smile."

“With my husband giving me millions of dollars in pocket money every month, I’m perfectly happy being a full-time housewife at home. I don’t miss the hard days of eating boxed lunches and filming on set at all.”

Lin Lang smiled after hearing this, took out a bank card from his personal space, handed it to Tong Lei, and said arrogantly, "There is 6 million Chinese yuan in this card. Take it. The password is six 8s."

Tong Lei politely declined, saying, "Honey, why are you giving me so much money again? You just gave me 8000 million last month for my birthday. You should take it back."

"Silly wife, you just accepted it because I told you to. Are you stupid for not taking the money when offered to you?"

Tong Lei chuckled and lightly punched Lin Lang's shoulder, playfully scolding, "Are you stupid? What is this 100 million yuan for today?"

Lin Lang replied indulgently, "You've raised Xi'er so well, she's so smart, clever and cute. This 1 million is a reward for you. Buy whatever you want, spend it however you like."

Tong Lei felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this, and unable to hide her happiness, she kissed Lin Lang on the cheek, smiling sweetly and charmingly, "Thank you, husband! But I don't lack anything, I don't know how to spend so much money."

“Silly wife, if you don’t know how to spend your money, just buy Moutai stock long-term. You’ll make a steady profit with an average annual compound growth rate of up to 28%. You can make money even with your eyes closed.”

Tong Lei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she quickly asked, "Really, honey?"

Lin Lang replied affirmatively, "Of course it's true."

"Moutai is the leading stock in China's liquor industry, with a market share of up to 62% in the high-end liquor market. You can't go wrong by listening to your husband's advice to invest in it regularly over the long term."

"Okay, then I'll listen to my stock market guru husband, hehe..."

Tong Lei carefully put the bank card away, her fingertips still feeling the cool touch of the card. When she looked up, she met Lin Lang's smiling eyes, and her cheeks couldn't help but flush.

She raised her hand to tuck a stray hair behind her ear, her face slightly flushed as she said coquettishly, "Honey, Xi'er is almost three years old now, shouldn't I have a second child for you?"

Lin Lang chuckled softly, freeing one hand to put his arm around Tong Lei's waist, his fingertips gently caressing her soft fabric: "Alright, then let's do it today, it just so happens to be your fertile period."

As soon as he finished speaking, little Zhixi in his arms let out a soft hum, her little brows furrowing slightly, as if afraid of being disturbed from her sweet dream.

The two immediately softened their movements, and Lin Lang gestured to Tong Lei, "Let's go back to the room and not wake our daughter."

Tong Lei nodded, and as she got up, she picked up the small blanket draped over the sofa and gently covered her daughter. Lin Lang held the sleeping little one, his footsteps extremely light.

Tong Lei followed closely behind, turning off the TV in the living room and leaving only a warm yellow wall lamp, illuminating the two figures walking hand in hand.

Entering the children's room, Lin Lang carefully placed Xiao Zhixi on the small bed covered with cartoon sheets, his movements as gentle as if he were placing a fragile treasure.

He bent down to tuck the blanket around his daughter, watching the long eyelashes cast a soft shadow under her eyelids, and a sweet smile on her lips. He couldn't help but place a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead.

Tong Lei stood to the side, her gaze gently falling on the father and daughter. Only after Lin Lang straightened up did she take his hand and return to the master bedroom, leaving the quiet children's room to her sleeping daughter.

As soon as they returned to the room, Lin Lang couldn't wait to pull Tong Lei into his arms. His cool, refreshing scent, mixed with warmth, enveloped Tong Lei, making her heart skip a beat.

"Honey, our daughter's asleep. Shouldn't we get down to business about having a second child?" Lin Lang's voice was deep and husky, with a hint of tenderness, and his warm breath brushed against her ear.

His hand slowly slid down Tong Lei's back, gently wrapped around her waist, and pulled her closer to him, instantly closing the distance between them until their noses almost touched.

Tong Lei's cheeks instantly burned hot. She raised her hand to push Lin Lang away, but her fingertips touched his firm chest, and her strength unconsciously softened.

"Stop it, I just got Xi'er to sleep..." Her voice was barely audible, and although she said no, her body betrayed her by snuggling into Lin Lang's arms.

Lin Lang chuckled softly, gently stroking Tong Lei's flushed cheek with his thumb, his tone both playful and earnest: "I'm not teasing you, I just want to hug you."

He leaned down, his forehead touching Tong Lei's, his nose brushing against hers, their warm breaths mingling as he said affectionately, "Holding you like this, you smell so sweet, it makes me feel so at ease and content."

Tong Lei's heart felt as if it had been gently tickled by a feather. She looked up into Lin Lang's deep eyes, where her reflection was clearly seen, filled with tenderness and doting affection.

She took the initiative to raise her hand and wrap it around Lin Lang's neck, then slightly tiptoed closer, her soft lips gently brushing against the corner of Lin Lang's lips, her voice soft and sweet: "Then... let's hug a little longer."

Lin Lang's eyes darkened, and he tightened his arms, pulling Tong Lei into a tight embrace. He then lowered his head and kissed her soft lips.

The kiss was tender and sweet, filled with their love for each other. In the quiet bedroom, only their intertwined breaths could be heard. Warmth flowed quietly through the air, spreading over their hearts and creating ripples.
