Reborn in 1979: I Raised a Fortune with Four Daughters

Chapter 306 I secretly investigated this kid

At this moment, her cheeks were flushed, like a ripe apple, making her extremely shy and adorable.

Upon seeing Zhao Zhaodi appear, Chen Runping could not contain his joy. He stood up again, quickly stepped forward, and said with a beaming smile:

"Zhaodi! Uncle and Aunt have both agreed to let us date!"

Zhao Zhaodi lowered her head slightly, not daring to look Chen Runping and her parents in the eye. She simply nodded gently and muttered softly:

"Oh, I see."

At this moment, Zhao Yuan glanced at the two of them, a smile appearing on his face, and then said:

"Alright, hurry up and go. Your mom said Muli is getting married and having a banquet today, so don't be late. But Lai Di has her college entrance exam tomorrow, so come back early after dinner tonight."

"Okay, I will make sure to get Zhaodi home safely as soon as possible after dinner. Please don't worry, Uncle and Aunt! We'll be going now."

Chen Runping said with a smile, and politely waved goodbye to Zhao Yuan and Lin Fangfang.

After receiving Zhao Yuan's nod of permission, he turned and strode quickly toward the door.

Upon arriving in the courtyard, Chen Runping skillfully pushed the bicycle leaning against the wall and slowly walked out.

The moment he stepped out of Zhao Zhaodi's house, he patted his chest gently with a sigh of relief and let out a long breath.

At this moment, Zhao Zhaodi, who had been following closely behind, asked curiously:

Were you scared?

Chen Runping nodded slightly and replied:

"Hmm, your dad looks really serious. He seemed a little nervous just now."

After a brief pause, Chen Runping composed himself, then turned to Zhao Zhaodi and said gently:

"Come on, get in and sit down, make sure you hold on tight."

As he spoke, he reached out a hand and pulled Zhao Zhaodi's arm, guiding her to hug his waist.

After Zhao Zhaodi was settled, Chen Runping pushed off the pedals and the bicycle moved steadily forward.

Watching the two children walk further and further away, Lin Fangfang couldn't help but turn to look at Zhaoyuan beside her and asked in confusion:

"Brother Yuan, I really didn't expect you to agree to let them date so readily this time."

Zhao Yuan smiled slightly and explained:

"Actually, I had already secretly investigated this kid several years ago."

This kid has a good upbringing; his parents are people with very sound values.

His uncle served in the military, and influenced by his family environment, the boy performed exceptionally well in the army, showing great ambition.

He's had his eye on our Zhao Di for a long time, but he's been quite the gentleman these past few years. It seems he's in a hurry now that he's back. I heard that Ye Wentao confessed his feelings to our daughter at school, but Zhao Di didn't accept.

They decided to do this together today, so let's just let them try dating first.

"How do you know Ye Wentao confessed his feelings to our daughter? Have you been stalking her?"

Lin Fangfang stared wide-eyed with suspicion, asking incredulously.

Zhao Yuan shook his head and explained with a wry smile:

“Fangfang, we have only daughters in our family, and each one of them is as beautiful and lovely as a flower. I don’t know how many men are eyeing them! These girls are so innocent and kind. How can we, as parents, not keep a close eye on them?”

"Hmph! Even so, if your daughter finds out you're secretly spying on her, she'll probably turn on you immediately! Our Zhaodi is a very opinionated girl, and she's very decisive!"

Lin Fangfang retorted irritably.

Zhao Yuan sighed with worry and said helplessly:

"Sigh... As parents, we're always worried that our daughters will suffer! Especially in our situation, we're even more afraid that someone with ulterior motives will take advantage of our daughter."

Lin Fangfang rolled her eyes at him and said reproachfully:

"Alright, alright, stop worrying unnecessarily! Back in the day, we started dating back in junior high, and I married you when I was 17."

Zhao Di is already 21 years old, and she'll be graduating from university soon. It's normal for kids to date as they grow up; you shouldn't be so anxious and overly involved.

"Okay, I'll do whatever my wife decides. But when Zhaodi comes back tonight, you must find a chance to have a good talk with her! After all, girls need to learn how to protect themselves. Sigh, there are some things I, as her father, can't easily tell her."

Zhao Yuan sighed helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fangfang couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Haha, I know, you've really had a hard time, old man!"

Chen Runping rode his bicycle with Zhao Zhaodi to the traffic light intersection.

Just then, Chen Runping stopped, his right foot firmly planted on the ground. He quickly turned around, looking at Zhao Zhaodi with concern, and asked softly:

"Zhaodi, where do you want to go?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhaodi blinked her large, bright eyes, thought for a moment, and then replied:

"Hmm...didn't we already agree to go to Wang Bin's house together? Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Chen Runping looked slightly embarrassed and quickly began to explain:

“Zhaodi, we can go over when we have lunch. This morning everyone helped wrap wedding candies and write wedding invitations, so they have plenty of manpower and don’t need the two of us at all. Besides, I want to take this time to spend some time alone with you and enjoy some warm moments just for the two of us.”

As he spoke, Chen Runping gazed expectantly at Zhao Zhaodi, as if waiting for her to give a satisfactory answer.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhaodi nodded slightly to show that she understood Chen Runping's thoughts.

Then, after a moment's thought, she smiled and suggested:

"In that case, why don't we go to the library? It's cool and quiet there, and we can calm down and read some books to increase our knowledge."

However, Chen Runping gently shook his head at Zhao Zhaodi's suggestion, and softly stroked her hair, responding in an exceptionally gentle tone:

"Zhaodi, how about we go to the library in a few days? How about we go to the cinema together this morning to watch a great movie?"

After saying that, he gazed at Zhao Zhaodi with loving eyes, waiting for her response.

"Ah."

Zhao Zhaodi nodded slightly and responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Then, the two of them arrived together at the slightly old-fashioned public telephone booth on the side of the street.

After Chen Runping stopped, he quickly took out his phone book from his pocket and skillfully dialed Wang Bin's phone number.
