Chapter 220 218. Can I call you daddy?

"Then will you agree to my forced marriage?"

The air in the quiet room seemed to be freezing. Chen Meiren sat on the bed anxiously, looking at the silent Chen Li'an, not knowing what answer she would wait for.

Chen Li'an turned his head and looked at Beauty Chen, put his arms around her and said, "Yes, but will you force me?"

Chen Meiren was stunned for a moment. Just when she was about to say yes, Chen Li'an blocked her with a forced kiss. Chen Meiren opened her eyes in confusion and looked at Chen Li'an who was kissing her, feeling that her brain was a little exhausted.

But he soon realized that Chen Li'an had his intention. He said he was willing, but actually he didn't want to, and he didn't want to give himself the chance to say this.

Chen Meiren wanted to understand and pushed Chen Li'an away hard. Looking into his affectionate eyes, the anger in her heart dissipated inexplicably. However, it was not her character to give up halfway. Things had come to this point. She couldn't pretend to be stupid.

"Chen Li'an! Don't play tricks on me. Just tell me whether you are willing or not. If you are not willing, I won't let this child go!"

Of course, it is impossible not to have children. Chen Meiren just wanted to scare Chen Li'an. After finally having a child as a killer, she couldn't bear it.

Chen Li'an couldn't help but sigh, took Mei Chen's hand and said: "This matter is too sudden for me. You must give me some time to think about it. You have never told me about your secret preparation for pregnancy. I I couldn’t accept it for a while, why didn’t you ask me for my opinion before?”

"That's it. That was an accident." Chen Meiren said vaguely, looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Are you unable to accept it now or do you not want to accept it?"

"I don't want to, I like children." Chen Li'an paused and said, "But... I really have no plans to get married. This is too sudden, and we agreed at the beginning."

Beauty Chen also knew not to push too hard, so she softened her tone and said, "I can give you time to think about it, up to a week, and you have to give me an answer!"

Chen Li'an coughed and said, "One week is too short, maybe two months."

"No, just one week!" Chen Meiren said firmly.

Chen Li'an glanced at Meiren Chen, stood up and said, "Oh, then I'll go back and think about it now."

Seeing Chen Li'an trying to run away, Chen Meiren grabbed his hand and said, "Chen Li'an, if you dare to run away, I will go to Yangcheng to find my second uncle to make the decision!"

"Hey, I was going to get you a glass of water. I didn't say I was leaving." Chen Li'an turned around and said with a smile.

"Then I want it warm."

"no problem!"

In the living room, Chen Li'an pressed the switch of the water dispenser, his thoughts wandering to nowhere. It wasn't until the water overflowed and flowed onto his hands that he came back to his senses and sighed silently.

It's hard to do it, because Chen Mei and Gong Li are different. Chen Li'an can't just coax her out with a few words. It seems that she has to give her a surprise.

But now it’s better to stabilize things first, otherwise it would be bad if something goes wrong if you get angry in a hurry.

At night, Chen Li'an hugged Mei Chen, touched her belly that had not changed much, and said, "Why didn't you tell me directly before?"

"Unexpected." Chen Meiren said with a guilty conscience.

Chen Li'an paused, not bothering to expose Chen Meiren, and said to himself: "Actually, if you tell me, I will agree. Don't give me any surprises like this in the future, or I will give you a surprise in the future."

Chen Meiren immediately looked at Chen Li'an warily and asked suspiciously: "What do you mean? What kind of surprise?"

"There's no surprise, that's what I said." Chen Li'an hugged Chen Meiren and coaxed: "It's getting late, go to bed, I have work tomorrow."

Chen Meiren looked at Chen Li'an and felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she couldn't think of the reason why. She just thought she was a little sensitive.

But Chen Meiren has made up her mind. She will give Chen Li'an a week. If he really doesn't want to get married, she will go to Yangcheng to find his second uncle to make the decision!

I can’t believe that I can’t control Chen Li’an anymore!

The next morning, Chen Li'an finished breakfast with Chen Meiren, wiped his mouth and said, "I'm going to the National Art Museum of China today, and I may come back late in the evening."

Chen Meiren drank the milk and hummed. When Chen Li'an was about to go out, she said calmly from behind: "Be back before eight o'clock in the evening."

Chen Li'an turned his head and narrowed his eyes, glanced at Meiren Chen, said yes and left.

Looking at Chen Li'an's leaving figure, Chen Meiren's hand holding the cup tightened slightly. Was she a little drunk?

How can you say this at this time? Isn't this pushing Chen Li'an out?

Chen Meiren picked up a bun and took a bite with some annoyance.

Chen Li'an on the other side walked out of the yard and couldn't help but rub his temples. He didn't agree to get married yet, so he took care of it first? It's too fast.

If they really got married, they would have to be tightly controlled. Chen Li'an couldn't help but shudder when he thought about it. In such a hot summer weather, Chen Li'an felt chilly.

Thinking of Chen Meiren saying yesterday that he would call his second uncle if he disagreed, Chen Li'an felt that he couldn't sit still and wait for death. Chen Meiren was really capable of doing this.

Now we must take the first step to prevent the second uncle from interfering.

Chen Li'an came to the entrance of the alley and saw Li Dabai waiting there in his car. He opened the door and got in the car and said, "Go home first and go to the art museum later."

Li Dabai looked at Chen Li'an's unattractive expression, hummed and silently started the car, not daring to ask what happened.

After returning home, Chen Li'an went to the study and sat there thinking for a while before dialing Qiao Linmu.

The call was quickly connected, and like a child who had made a mistake, Chen Li'an called his second uncle in a low voice.

Qiao Linmu listened to Chen Li'an's voice and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Did something happen?"

Chen Li'an hesitated for a long time before whispering: "Second uncle, you are going to be an uncle."

"Huh?" Qiao Linmu was stunned for a moment and asked uncertainly: "You say it again?!"

"I said you are going to be an uncle." After Chen Li'an repeated it, listening to Qiao Linmu's excited voice on the other end of the phone, he didn't know whether he was frightened or surprised.

After Qiao Linmu calmed down, Chen Li'an explained the matter.

Qiao Linmu covered his forehead, pondered for a long time and asked with some uncertainty: "You mean, you don't have a girlfriend now, but you have several friends of the opposite sex with whom you have unclear relationships, and two of them are pregnant?"

Chen Li'an coughed awkwardly and said, "Second uncle, your summarizing skills are great."

"You're so stupid!" Qiao Lin angrily yelled, "Chen Li'an, look what you're doing!"

After Chen Li'an endured Qiao Linmu's scolding for more than ten minutes, he said helplessly: "Second uncle, it's unexpected. It was the same for you and your aunt at the beginning."

"Can I be the same as you?" Qiao Linmu cursed angrily: "You dare to tease me, tell me what you are going to do now!"

Chen Li'an sighed and said: "I haven't thought about it yet. I just want to tell you in advance to make you happy. Just leave this matter alone and I will take care of it."

"Make me happy? You are such a generous person?" Qiao Linmu's voice rose an octave, and then weakened again. He was indeed very happy. In a blink of an eye, he was like a grandpa.

But he was happy, and his worries were real. If only one girl got pregnant, he would definitely force Chen Li'an to get married, but it would be difficult now that there were two.

"Second uncle, let's just say this. If Chen Meiren calls you later, please help me hold on."

"."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Linmu was in a daze for a while. He still hadn't recovered from the news that he was his uncle. After a while, he sighed.

"Why are there only two of them? One is great. They can get married directly."

Qiao Linmu also has a big head now, and it's not like in the old society where he could have three wives and four concubines. This is a bit difficult for Chen Li'an to do.

"You little bastard will cause trouble for me! Let's see how you end up!"

After Chen Li'an talked to Qiao Linmu, he was able to avoid Chen Meiren from finding helpers to put pressure on him, but the problem was still unresolved. Now he could only delay it. If it didn't work, he could only have a showdown with Chen Meiren.

But does this count as having a son and a daughter? Hey, I don’t know yet whether Beauty Chen is pregnant with a boy or a girl.

Chen Li'an sat in his study for a long time, dazed, before going out to the art museum.

After chatting with Director Yang for more than an hour at the art museum, the time for the photography exhibition was decided. It was a week before the release of Red River Valley, which can be regarded as a small contribution to the film.

In Director Yang's office, he put down the photo in his hand and said, "I haven't seen such pure works for a long time. In the past two years, the museum has also collected many works by ethnic minority painters, but they don't feel like you." .”

Chen Li'an thought of the works of xz painters at the National Art Exhibition last year, nodded slightly and said: "They are moving closer to the mainstream aesthetics in the country, and the national things themselves are ignored, and the political color is greater than their own artistry."

"Yes, so this set of works of yours is good and rare." Curator Yang took a sip of tea and asked, "How long has it been since you painted? It's not good to have too many thoughts."

Chen Li'an hummed and said, "I'm holding it in. After I've been busy for a while, I'll calm down and paint."

"You just have to know it yourself."

After leaving the art museum, Chen Li'an did not go back to Chen Meiren's place. Instead, he asked Li Dabai to drive him around.

Li Dabai didn't know why Chen Li'an was in a bad mood today, so he asked tentatively: "Teacher Chen, why don't I take you to see the house."

"casual."

Chen Li'an leaned on the back seat and thought about what to do next. Mei Chen and Gong Li had different thoughts and it was not easy to deal with them.

Li Dabai glanced at the pensive Chen Li'an, wondering why he, who used to be so carefree and carefree, would be worried about something.

Soon the car arrived at a community on the edge of the East Third Ring Road. After Li Dabai parked the car, he looked back at Chen Li'an who was still deep in thought and whispered: "Teacher Chen, we are here."

Chen Li'an hummed, opened the car door and got out of the car. He looked at the community in front of him where the apartment had just been handed over. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "It looks pretty good. What type of apartment is it?"

"Garden houses, there are also villas, but they are more expensive." Li Dabai ran over and said, she really likes the villa here. Last time she stayed in Jifa's villa in Paris, she was thinking about when she could have a villa.

How expensive can a villa be? Although Chen Li'an only had more than three million in his pocket, it was more than enough to buy a villa, so he said, "Let's take a look."

Perhaps seeing that Chen Li'an was in a better mood, Li Dabai had the courage to ask: "Teacher Chen, what happened to make you unhappy?"

Chen Li'an glanced at her and said, "It's nothing. You don't understand even if I tell you."

"How can I understand if you don't tell me?" Li Dabai muttered quietly.

After the topic ended, Li Dabai stopped asking and led Chen Li'an to look at the house.

The size of the bungalow is not small, more than 180 square meters, and the decoration is also very good. You can basically move in with your bags.

The villa is even better. The only disadvantage is that the price is a bit expensive. A villa of more than 300 square meters costs 2.4 million.

Chen Li'an hesitated for a while and then decided to buy it. Chen Meiren was pregnant now, so it was not convenient to live in a courtyard. Although it had been renovated to drain water, it was still very troublesome.

Giving him a villa was regarded as an apology for not getting married. After thinking about it, Chen Li'an suddenly felt a little sorry for Gong Li.

Unfortunately, I don’t have enough money in my pocket, so it’s a bit difficult to buy two sets.

Chen Li'an had no choice but to ask for help and called his second uncle directly.

"Second uncle, give me money. I want to buy a house for my daughter."

Qiao Linmu: "." This bastard is either causing trouble or asking for money. He must be beaten up next time he sees him!

However, the profits of working in the factory are very high. This year's output and sales have increased, and so have the profit margins, especially for electronic products, which have huge profit margins.

A VCD can sell for more than 2,000 yuan, with sales of more than 100 million yuan. The profits can be imagined.

Qiao Linmu sighed and said: "I understand, I will arrange a financial call for you later. No matter who you choose, you must bear the responsibility. Don't think that just buying a house will be enough. You should be more careful in the future!"

"Don't worry, I'm not an irresponsible man!"

"Hmph, it better be!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Lian turned around and saw Li Dabai staring at him with eyes so wide that he could stuff an egg in his mouth.

Is Teacher Chen planning to marry Liu Xiaoli? Buy a house for her daughter? ! ! !

Didn’t you just meet once?

Li Dabai was a little dizzy and wondered if he heard it wrong. This was not Chen Li'an's style at all.

Is it that happy to be someone else’s father?

Chen Li'an ignored Li Dabai who was making a fuss. You can't imagine how happy his father was!

"Dabai, find me another villa like this in Xicheng, and find a larger bungalow in Beicheng."

Li Dabai was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Teacher Chen, why did you buy so many houses?"

"Didn't I tell you? I bought it for my daughter."

"Then she can't live in so many houses, Teacher Chen, don't be impulsive, Liu Xiaoli's daughter is not your biological child!"

"."

Chen Li'an couldn't help but knock Li Dabai on the head and said: "What are you thinking about? Who wants to buy it for her? I will buy it for my own daughter!"

"Oh, it scared me to death, I thought..." Li Dabai reacted halfway through the words, looked at Chen Li'an and shouted: "That's not right, Teacher Chen, when did you become a father?!"

Chen Lian glanced at Li Dabai and snorted in his heart, is it strange to be a father? There are so many people calling him daddy.

After working all afternoon and watching Chen Li'an spend more than two million without blinking an eye, Li Dabai suddenly wanted to have such a good father. She liked the big villa so much!

"Teacher Chen, can I call you dad?"

Chen Li'an put away the contract and turned to look at Li Dabai and asked, "What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."

Li Dabai blushed and quickly shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
