Zhou Zhenjun lowered his voice as he whispered these words into Zhou Zimo’s ear. Liang Jing, who was at the side, shot him a dangerous look, and he only responded with a mysterious smile.
Zhou Zimo stopped what he was doing and glanced at his father. Zhou Zhenjun, however, had already retracted his gaze and said in a serious tone, “This is a mission. You know what your grandfather wants. I also know how you’re like, if no one forces you, you definitely won’t be able to complete it. If you don’t come home with a daughter-in-law this year, you don’t have to go home either, we’ll throw you into exile in the northwest!”
“I agree with that too!” Liang Jing said.
“Alright, take good care of yourself and be in good spirits. Go back and visit your grandfather, he’s been missing you. I don’t want to pursue this matter any further. You just need to know what you’re doing. When a man is older, it’s time to get married, take heart!”
Zhou Zhenjun stood up and patted Zhou Zimo’s shoulder, “I’m leaving. I might only be back in a month or two. Go back and visit your grandfather and your mother more often. Also, as I always say, if I find out any gossip, I’ll teach you a lesson when I get back!”
After saying this, he strode out as he grabbed the hat on the table with one hand.
“I got it. Bye, father!” Zhou Zimo replied with a sickly voice.
Liang Jing quickly got up and followed him—
“Get them to prepare a few thicker clothes for you. It’s raining now, the weather will be a little colder after this. Also, remember to wipe the medicinal wine on your wrist frequently and eat on time. Your have bad gastric…”
Every time Zhou Zhenjun went away for work, Liang Jing would patiently repeat the same words to him. Zhou Zhenjun did not seem to be tired of hearing it. When he was packing at home just now, he felt like something was missing because he missed his son, and did not have her long-winded words, so he came over to take a look.
Zhou Zimo took a deep breath and turned his head to look at the couple who had already disappeared at the door. After a while, he shrugged and continued to eat his porridge.
Zhou Zhenjun’s car was parked outside the door. As soon as he saw Zhou Zhenjun walk over, the security guards immediately opened the car door for him and greeted Liang Jing respectfully.
“I don’t agree with pushing our son too hard. Ah Jing, you just need to check-in on him more often, don’t bother too much about his love life, otherwise, he’ll hate us later. He’s already so old, in his thirties and close to 40. He knows what he wants.”
It was still drizzling outside. As Zhou Zhenjun spoke, he turned around and saw his wife standing in the rain with him. He reached for the coat in his car and carefully draped it over her shoulders.
Liang Jing nodded and tugged at the coat obediently. “I got it. You have to remember to call often. You haven’t been eating well recently. I’m worried about your health.”
“It’s okay. I just had a medical report, it says I should be worried about my stomach. I’m leaving now. You have to take care of father and yourself. Leave the matter of your son to him. I’ll have a good talk with him when I get back.”
Zhou Zhenjun reached out and hugged Liang Jing. He patted her shoulder and soon let go. He turned around and got into the car—
“Alright, it’s raining hard. Let’s go back. I’m leaving too!”
“Be safe on the road. Be careful!”
Watching the car drive away, Liang Jing chased after it.
The shadow of the car soon disappeared into the twilight ahead.
Liang Jing stood there for quite a while before she turned around and went back…
Zhou Zimo had finished the bowl of porridge in the living room, and the glass of water beside him had been emptied. When Liang Jing returned to the living room, he had already gone upstairs, back to his bedroom and immediately fell asleep.
When she woke up, the sky was already bright, and the man beside him had disappeared without a trace.
Dongfang Liuyun also got up very quickly. When she finished cleaning up and went downstairs, she found that the living room was empty, but the breakfast on the table had already been placed. Even his portion was not found in the kitchen.
After searching for a while, she found him at the corridor outside.
He was still wearing the dark blue pyjamas from last night, holding a cup of hot water as he stood in front of the stairs, watching the morning glory that was messed up by the wind and rain in front of him. His tall and uprightt figure stood in the cool breeze, no matter how she looked at it, he seemed desolate and lonely as he was shrouded by the vast rain.
After hesitating for a moment, she walked over and stopped beside him.
“You’re awake?”
He quickly turned his head and lowered his gaze to look at her. He handed her the still warm water in his hand.
She nodded and reached out to take it. She drank a few mouthfuls of it before returning it to him. “Aren’t you going to work today? Aren’t you going to change your clothes?” She asked faintly, but her gaze stopped on his handsome face
The quiet him seemed to have a hint of peace and tranquility. She felt quite at ease by this sight of him.
Qi Lei placed the cup on the armrest as he replied, “I’m not going, planning to rest. It’s the Mid-autumn Festival soon. I have to go visit my older brother.”
As he spoke, he slowly walked down the stairs and put away a morning glory seedling.
“What flowers do you like? A friend is on a business trip in Holland these two days. I asked him to bring some beautiful flowers back and plant them in the flowerbed over there. Maybe they’ll bloom in the next spring,” he said as he bent down to pull off the plastic film.
Dongfang Liuyun was stunned for a moment. She thought for a moment and said, “What about you? What kind of flowers do you like?”
“I like this one.”
As he listened, he turned his head to look at her and pointed at the morning glory in front of him. “After the storm, it will continue to climb up and the flowers will bloom beautifully.”
At this moment, a warm smile suddenly appeared on Dongfang Liuyun’s beautiful face. She silently squatted down and quietly looked at him, who was still busy.
The cool breeze of the morning carried a hint of moisture, but the air was very fresh. It brought with it a faint fragrance as it bathed this world
This kind of morning was exceptionally beautiful.
“I have time in the afternoon. Aren’t you going to take me to see your mother, my mother-in-law?”
After a long while, Dongfang Liuyun said these words calmly.
When Qi Lei heard this, he also paused for a moment. He slowly turned to look at her. His eyes were filled with surprise as he locked his gaze on her…
Dongfang Liuyun just leisurely lowered her crossed hands and smiled as she turned to look at the large patch of morning glories…
