Becoming a life winner from infancy

"Right, you take us."

Fang You nodded. "Uncle Xia doesn't have time anymore, you should take me and Nuo Nuo. Isn't that part of being a dad? You agree, don't you?"

"Ah... this, this—But I'm also very busy, I have to work too."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Fang Guanghui scratched his head, showing a helpless expression.

"Yet, you were telling Mom last night that there was nothing to do at work and you were bored out of your mind. Mom even said why don't you come with me to Qiankun City, right?"

Upon hearing Fang You's words, Fang Guanghui wished he could slap the person he was last night.

Why do I always talk big so easily?

No, the fault isn't with me, it's that man!

It's Xia Anyang's fault!

He wanted to be the hero dad, but he messed it up so badly. I really misjudged him.

"All right, now it's your turn to step up. You're a dad after all, so show some responsibility. Increase the father-child bonding time with me to prevent me from having childhood traumas and let me have fond childhood memories instead."

You little rascal... It's already good enough that you haven't given me a dad trauma, and you still have the nerve to say that.

"But I haven't prepared anything..."

Fang You reminded Fang Guanghui, "Also, let me add that I just promised Nuo Nuo to pacify her that you would take us. Don't make it hard for me as your son, and unable to lift my head in front of Nuo Nuo later. You'll be taking full responsibility."

"You, you little... Why are you putting the cart before the horse!"

Although Fang Guanghui could whimsically express his thoughts as a father in front of his son and act like a child, making a mess whenever he wanted since his son would clean up after him.

But it's somewhat different with Nuo Nuo.

After all, Fang Guanghui cared for her as his own, and she was close to him too, so there was a bit of an elder's burden there.

"Er, actually I did want to take you and Nuo Nuo, it's just that Nuo Nuo's dad was more dominant before, and I didn't get along with him, right..."

Fang Guanghui scratched his head. "But even if I want to go now, there might not be any tickets available, right?"

"I just checked with my watch, there are tickets."

Fang You accurately named the flight numbers, prompting Fang Guanghui to check on his phone while muttering, "Uncle Xia chose the flights of Dragon Air, big plane, lots of seats, very spacious."

"What do you mean 'lots of seats'... It's just that first class has a lot of seats! There's no space left in economy."

Fang Guanghui grumbled, "Although our family's made quite a bit of money because of you, it's not so much that we can casually afford to fly thousands or tens of thousands in first class."

"You buy the tickets first and take Nuo Nuo. Uncle Xia hasn't fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, he must feel guilty about it, and he'll definitely reimburse you for the plane tickets."

Fang You said, "Plus, if both Nuo Nuo and I want to go, guess what Mom would say?"

"That, that makes sense..."

Everyone knows that Fang Guanghui doesn't have much of a say in the family; Chen Xuan is pretty much the one who calls the shots.

But Chen Xuan usually lets Fang You have his way too, since he seldom asks for anything. The few times he does act out, especially if it's for Nuo Nuo's sake, she wouldn't say no.

"Then let's go as a family, and later we'll talk to Mom about it. Sigh, I will also have to call Nuo Nuo's parents later to ask; they might not agree either..."

Everyone knows about his unreliability, especially Xia Anyang, that competitive boss. Last time he took them hiking in the rain which caused an illness, and that incident angered Xia Anyang for a long time. If he were to be asked to take care of his daughter, it would probably be more painful than killing him.

Seeing Fang Guanghui's hesitant and ambivalent attitude, like a defeatist, Fang You couldn't help but pat his shoulder, then continued:

"Don't be so unhappy, Dad."

"We can still catch the Paru All Stars performance on the second day in Qiankun City. Just bring your Paru device; I have my ways of getting you in to watch the top Paru masters of our country."

[Fang Guanghui indicates that now he's definitely not sleepy! Emotional Energy +100]

Fang Guanghui demonstrated to Fang You the most legendary face-changing skill of Gucheng, his eyes shining with an unmatched sparkle. He pinched Fang You's cheek and then continued:

"Oh, my dear son, why didn't you tell Daddy about this earlier!"

He leaned in close to Fang You's face and asked curiously, "Quick, tell me, what exactly is your plan to get me in?"

"Don't rush me. Let me keep you in suspense a bit. You'll find out once we get to Qiankun City."

"But—"

Seeing Fang Guanghui's hesitation, Fang You's eyebrows slightly arched, "Have I ever lied to you as I grew up?"

"Well, no..."

That's right, this is my first time lying to you.

Although Fang You is a genius youth, he's not some supernatural being. He hadn't actually had the time to think through and plan for such a sudden emergency.

At most, it would just mean letting his dad be disappointed once; it wasn't such a big deal. They would deal with it when they got to Qiankun City.

After all, adults lie much more often than children; there's no need to feel guilty.

Fang You thought to himself that if Uncle Xia could deceive Nuo Nuo once, why couldn't he deceive his own dad? It was the same thing.

What Fang Guanghui cared about most recently was the Paru All Stars competition. With You You's promise to take him there, Fang Guanghui was as delighted as a child, and he quickly called Xia Nuo, who was sobbing, to assure her:

"Nuo Nuo, don't cry Nuo Nuo. If your dad doesn't have time to take you guys, I'll take you to Qiankun City!"

Xia Nuo had initially said she wanted to run off with You You to such a distant place in a fit of anger, but now that she really couldn't go, she would have been truly heartbroken. Now with Fang Guanghui's guarantee, she was so happy she bounced and hopped, holding Fang Guanghui's hand.

"Uncle Fang, you are the best dad in the world! I'm so jealous of You You. I want to be your daughter too! Compared to you, my dad is really terrible, so annoying!"

While praising Uncle Fang, Xia Nuo didn't forget to complain about her own dad, leaving Fang Guanghui embarrassed to the point of squirming at such high praise.

"Hey, don't say that... Your dad surely wants to take you too, after all the preparations that have been going on for so long. But, he must have some very, very urgent work if he's promising something to his precious daughter."

"My dad doesn't have such urgent work! It must just be an excuse because he doesn't want to go, hmph..."

?

You can be so cheeky, Dad!

As the original flight was scheduled to depart this afternoon, this matter had to be discussed with Xia Nuo's parents immediately.

Chen Xuan called Lin Yi, and Lin Yi had no objections; she wasn't necessarily trusting Fang Guanghui, but rather she knew that Nuo Nuo had been looking forward to this for a long time and that with You You by her side, there would be no issues.

As for Xia Anyang, Lin Yi conveyed that he was still busy handling business at the store and couldn't respond right now.

But Lin Yi also agreed to the last-minute plan on behalf of the family.

However, she also had a heart-to-heart over the phone with Nuo Nuo, "Nuo Nuo, your dad really is busy with very important things right now, he's trying to handle them as quickly as possible to see if he can make the flight. He still cares about you very much."

"If he cared about me, he wouldn't have lied to me, hmph!"

Xia Nuo was still very angry about Xia Anyang's deceitful conduct.
