The next day, early in the morning.
Wang Chao woke up early and started his morning exercise routine.
However, this time his exercise was not done outside but in his own backyard. He went for a run, practiced martial arts, and even put on a swimsuit to swim several laps in the pool.
After an hour of exercise, Wang Anguo also woke up. Seeing his son so energetic in his morning routine, he became interested and warmed up in the yard before starting to practice Tai Chi.
His previous Tai Chi postures were not correct, and many movements were awkward.
But after receiving guidance from Wang Chao last time, his Tai Chi suddenly had a hint of charm.
In every movement, there was a balance between Yin and Yang, hardness and softness, showing significant improvement.
Wang Chao came out of the pool and was once again amazed by his father's Tai Chi skills.
After learning breathing techniques and internal energy methods from his master for over a month, and with a day of serious instruction from his master, Wang Chao had incorporated the breathing techniques into his Tai Chi, performing it with grace and harmony, displaying a touch of charm.
In this way, his master was also greatly shocked, believing that Wang Chao was a genius!
Now seeing Wang Anguo practicing Tai Chi, he felt that his own talent in martial arts was truly inferior to his father's.
Wang Anguo had only learned for an hour or two, yet he could already perfectly apply the breathing techniques to his Tai Chi. Every inhale and exhale coordinated with his movements, exuding a special charm.
"It seems that my talent in martial arts really inherited from Dad."
"Really, if Dad had explored martial arts earlier, he could have become a high-level martial artist, even in the entertainment industry, he could have easily made money."
Wang Chao watched his father practice Tai Chi and couldn't help but feel emotional.
To see his father's martial arts talent, he changed his clothes and walked over to Wang Anguo, saying, "Dad, you've mastered Tai Chi quite well. How about I teach you another set of boxing techniques?"
"You know other martial arts?" Wang Anguo was taken aback.
"Of course, in our security department, we have many experts. They taught me some amazing skills," Wang Chao said.
"Great, then teach me quickly. Today, I feel invigorated after practicing Tai Chi. My back doesn't hurt anymore, and my legs aren't sore. This martial art is really amazing for improving health and fitness!"
Wang Anguo's eyes brightened as he spoke, "If I master Tai Chi and learn a few more martial arts, who knows, I might live a long and healthy life."
"Okay, let me teach you Baguazhang," Wang Chao said.
Baguazhang is also a traditional martial art that has lost its practical combat effectiveness after a series of inheritances. However, it is still quite effective for health and fitness.
While teaching Wang Anguo this martial art, Wang Chao deliberately included one or two highly effective techniques, increasing the difficulty level.
To everyone's surprise, after watching the movements once, Wang Anguo was able to perform them without further explanation from Wang Chao.
Although the movements were not entirely precise, the techniques were flawless.
"Genius!"
Wang Chao looked at his father with a hint of shock in his eyes.
At this moment, he was truly certain of one thing: his martial arts talent was undoubtedly inherited from Wang Anguo!
Perhaps Wang Anguo's talent surpassed his own!
"Dad, do you want to learn martial arts with real combat effectiveness?" Wang Chao asked.
"I do!"
Wang Anguo didn't hesitate at all and nodded, his voice solemn, "Ever since your mother was attacked last time, I have despised my own helplessness."
"I couldn't defeat those bastards back then. If you hadn't come back in time to resolve the crisis, your mother might have been left crippled."
"Wang Chao, I also want to have the same skills as you. Once I become proficient, I can protect your mother, protect your sister, protect your younger siblings."
He paused, his expression serious as he looked at Wang Chao and said, "If possible, I also want to protect you!"
"Dad, I'm already an adult now. I don't need your protection. It's my turn to protect you," Wang Chao smiled.
He was now the Night King, a terrifying existence surpassing the God of War level. He could be considered unmatched by anyone except his master. He was invincible in the world. How could he still need his father's protection?
Wang Anguo stared at Wang Chao with a determined look. "If I have martial arts skills, the person I most want to protect, aside from your mother, is you!"
"Huh?" Wang Chao was taken aback.
"Do you think I can't see through your experiences while you're always at home wearing clothes, even when swimming?"
Wang Anguo approached, grabbed Wang Chao's clothes, and directly lifted them, pointing at the scars on Wang Chao's body. "I have seen these scars of yours a long time ago!"
He looked at the scars on Wang Chao's body, his eyes turning red, and his voice trembling. "My child, even though you haven't said anything, I'm sure you've suffered a lot, endured a lot of hardships over the years."
"Seeing these scars on you, my heart aches!"
"Wang Chao, I'm sorry, it's Dad's fault."
At this point, his tears could not be controlled any longer. They streamed down uncontrollably, tears flowing freely.
He held Wang Chao tightly, his eyes filled with guilt, and his voice trembling. "It's all Dad's uselessness. It's all because Dad is incapable."
"If Dad was as powerful as those legendary figures, you would not have had to travel to foreign lands, you wouldn't have had to endure so much suffering."
"It's all Dad's fault. Dad could not protect you."
"Dad hates it!"
"Dad hates his own helplessness!"
As he spoke, he cried even louder, trembling all over, and even guiltily raised his hand, giving himself a hard slap.
"Dad."
Wang Chao's eyes also turned red, and he quickly grabbed Wang Anguo's hand as tears streamed down his face uncontrollably. "It's not your fault; it's all my fault. Everything is my own doing."
"Do not blame yourself. It's all my fault. I'm sorry too. For the past eight years, due to my special work, I haven't been in touch with you all, and I made you worry."
"It's all my fault! Please do not blame yourself."
His voice choked with sobs, and his words were not coherent.
He had never expected his father to have such a vulnerable side.
He hadn't anticipated that the scars he had hidden for so long would still be seen by his father.
Even more so, he hadn't expected that his own scars would make his father feel so guilty and self-blaming.
He hadn't even imagined that despite his own strength and wealth, his father still wanted to protect him and prevent him from being hurt again.
His father's love touched him deeply.
Father and son held each other tightly, unable to speak through their tears.
In a few minutes, the sound of washing up came from the room.
Only then did the two release each other.
"Your mother is awake. Quickly dry your tears and do not let her see us like this."
Wang Anguo wiped his tears and said, "Also, put on your clothes quickly. Do not let your mother see your scars, or she will be heartbroken."
"Our family is living a good life now. We, father and son, can not make your mother cry anymore."
Wang Chao hurriedly adjusted his appearance and wiped his tears.
Later, he realized that it did not work, as evidence of tears would still be visible.
"Dad, stop wiping your tears. Let's go swimming. That way, Mom won't notice!"
Wang Chao quickly came up with an idea and pushed Wang Anguo into the swimming pool, then he jumped in himself with a splash.
Father and son splashed around in the swimming pool, enjoying themselves.
At that moment, Li Han walked out and saw them playing in the water. Her expression turned displeased as she scolded, "You two grown men, what are you doing in the water so early in the morning? Can't you be more mature?"
"The water is cold in the morning. Get out quickly and do not catch a cold!"
