Unknowingly, more than a year has passed since Chu Ge's morial service... or rather, that farce.
No matter if it's ten years, twenty years, fifty years, until the very end of life, Qin Ruojing would never forget the scenes that played out that day at the morial service.
On that day, the mourning hall was playing the tune "Do Not Think of Returning." Although she was convinced that "Chu Ge was still alive," due to certain reasons and the atmosphere at the ti, she still intertwined her fingers, lowered her head, and closed her eyes.
Rather than silent mourning, it was more like a prayer.
When the silent mourning ended, she and everyone else opened their eyes to see a scoundrel in casual clothes, wearing clogs, slouched on the offering table. His left hand held an apple with a large chunk missing, his right a banana with a piece broken off, his mouth stuffed full, waving at everyone present with a grin that no matter how many tis she saw it, still looked so infuriating.
As for what happened next, Qin Ruojing could only describe it as... crying and laughing.
Yes, that scoundrel was Chu Ge, the husband she'd been waiting for to co ho, the father of the adorable little guy who was now preparing milk powder for little Chu Fan.
If... this guy hadn't gulped down a bottle of milk powder while testing the water temperature, and still shalessly licked his lips with a satisfied face even after getting a glaring look from her, the scene before her could have been quite a warm picture.
Sigh...
Qin Ruojing sighed and shook her head helplessly, eventually being amused by Chu Ge's infuriating smile, then turned her gaze to the "yiyi-ya-ya" little guy in her arms, gently touching the soft, baby's cheek.
"Look at your dad, the guy even wants to steal your milk powder, he's such a scoundrel, right?"
"Yi ya! Ya!"
The little guy giggled, shaking his sowhat chubby baby chin, responding with an ambiguous sound, which Qin Ruojing took as agreent.
Chu Fan, this na was given by Chu Ge, who said he hoped the little guy would just grow up safely, healthily, and happily, and those so-called grand events should stay far from this child.
Most of the ti, being ordinary is a blessing, and simplicity is truth.
Though many people may feel this is just an insincere talk, undeniably, different experiences lead to different mindsets.
Moreover, for most people, where are there really so many grand events in this world?
In other words, if soone saw a bank robbery on the street, even if the robber didn't have a gun, just a bright machete, how many people who usually boast loudly, always think if sothing happens they'd surely know what to do, would really dare to rush forward? Sneaking to make a phone call to the police would be considered pretty good.
As for those who narrowly escape disasters, their hearts will forever bear a mark, knowing that simply being alive is already an imnsely happy matter.
After refilling the bottle with 120 milliliters of 40-degree warm water, scooping in two spoons of milk powder, and skillfully shaking the bottle, Chu Ge walked over to Qin Ruojing with it.
"Little Fan Fan, ti for milk."
Sitting on the sofa next to Qin Ruojing, he gently stroked the little guy's face with his fingertips, feeling that touch that seed to lt his heart, Chu Ge handed over the bottle.
Once the little guy finished drinking, he soon fell asleep in Qin Ruojing's arms. Qin Ruojing gently placed him in the crib, patting him softly, her eyes filled with a maternal radiance that Chu Ge could never seem to get enough of.
"Sister, brother-in-law, Yaqi and I are back! Look at what we bought for our son... oh, little Fan Fan is asleep?"
Qin Ruoying opened the door, arm in arm with Tong Yaqi, smiling as she walked in, only half-speaking before noticing little Fan Fan being placed in the crib by Qin Ruojing. She couldn't help but stick out her tongue and tiptoe over, gently laying two sets of children's clothes on the sofa.
"I say, you girl... must I remind you every ti? Little Fan Fan sleeps a lot now, try to be quiet when you co ho."
Qin Ruojing continued to gently pat little Fan Fan, shaking her head helplessly.
"Look at Yaqi, she's never as loud as you are. As godmothers to little Fan Fan, why is there such a big difference?"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, isn't that good enough? I must learn elegance from Yaqi, gentleness from Ye Li, wisdom from He Qing, cleanliness from Yaoyao, and from Lingshan..."
"Alright, just saying and not practicing is better not said."
Qin Ruojing smiled even more helplessly and waved with her other hand to interrupt her sister's next words. Didn't she already know the kind of personality her sister had?
"Anyway, the fact that the eldest son is sleeping is just like ; once he's asleep, not even thunder can wake him..."
Sure enough, Qin Ruoying muttered quietly again at this mont, and Qin Ruojing simply pretended she didn't hear it.
However, no matter how many tis she heard this, she always found it funny. Chu Fan is her and Chu Ge's son, so why would he take after his aunt in terms of sleeping?
As Qin Ruojing was pondering this, Qin Ruoying strangely asked, "By the way, today is our eldest son's 100th day, such a happy occasion. Why haven't they co over yet? Didn't we agree to celebrate together?"
"They agreed to co over at six. Also, so as not to disturb our darling's sleep one by one."
Qin Ruojing answered her sister's question, then turned to look at Chu Ge, "It's about ti, don't you think you should start cooking?"
"Alright, alright, I'm on it."
Chu Ge smiled wryly, stood up from the couch, and as he left the room, the faint voice of Tong Yaqi ca from behind him.
"Xiaojing, Xiaoying, your family chef is too lucky, taking a year's salary yet having at least half the year off, right?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. Who told him to be such a great cook? Once you're used to his cooking, everything else seems a bit lacking."
Chu Ge scratched his head. Is this what they call 'the more capable they are, the more they work'?
However, cooking was originally his hobby, so doing a bit more wasn't a big deal. Seeing these won enjoy their als made him happy too.
In the kitchen on the first floor, Chu Ge dazzled with his knife skills while thinking about the past year, and a smile called "happiness" quietly appeared on his face.
The troubles that needed to be solved were all resolved, even Du Lin, who had long been a vegetative state, was revived by his spiritual influence. Tianjiao Film and Television's movie achieved great success, with a box office of one billion upon release. Even with so many celebrities supporting it, this number was astonishing for a newly established film company.
The so-called crisis in the He Family was indeed just a big ga set up by Mr. He. There were too many things going on, many of which he couldn't figure out and didn't want to.
A part of Chu Chengrui's "war machines" beca bodyguards for him and his family. They had no choice—they needed the "Road to Hell" analgesic, otherwise, when that pain ca, it truly felt worse than death.
Chu Ge had thought about freeing them completely from the "Road to Hell," and even asked for help to find a fundantal way to restore them to normalcy. Progress on this matter was gradually becoming clear.
Of course, Chu Ge wouldn't be so benevolent as to imdiately cure them completely as soon as a thod was found. He needed to observe and test their character. Things for the future would be dealt with in the future.
As for the rare animals rescued from Chu Chengrui's underground research lab, when they appeared in front of those people that day, they indeed gave everyone a fright.
The re presence of so many rare animals in that place was shocking enough. More surprisingly, these beasts didn't attack humans. Only after the fight was over and most of Chu Chengrui's n were subdued did they quietly walk out in a line, not hurting anyone, not running amok, behaving like a group of elentary school children going on a field trip under a teacher's guidance.
After the relevant departnts temporarily housed these rare animals for a while, they dealt with them rcifully. So were released, so were used for research with minimal harm as a priority, and a portion... beca Chu Ge's pets.
Regarding the matter of Chu Chengrui's underground research lab, only one thing left Chu Ge with a sense of fear and great guilt towards one person.
That was Da Shan shielding He Qing from a bullet. Fortunately, it didn't hit a vital part, which was an unfortunate fortunate event.
Following that, to care for those animals that didn't seem like pets, to support people who were no longer "war machines," to make it easier for the won around him to be together, and because he and Qin Ruojing had agreed to buy a villa long ago, the matter was settled.
Actually, regarding Chu Ge's residence, before buying that villa, he had a secret negotiation with an "old man." Only the two of them knew what was discussed, but after that negotiation, it's said that the "old man" suffered from a toothache for quite a while.
Chu Ge continued living in Lidu; his villa, excluding the front and back gardens, pet yard, and botanical garden, covered more than 3,000 square ters, at a distance not too far or too close to the city center, ensuring that no one would easily use missiles or anything like that.
Over the past year, Chu Ge had solved issues that no longer posed a problem for him, and after that, no one dared to trouble him anymore.
In conclusion, except for one matter that left Chu Ge puzzled, everything else was moving in the direction he hoped for.
