Chapter 234 Always with you

"Nothing? Then what is he doing here?"

Qi Wang opened his phone and found the chat interface with Si Lin. The last time they chatted was two months ago, before he went abroad.

Most of the conversations revolved around Si Zhenzhen's emotional issues.

"What did he say?"

Si had been in retirement for some time, and from what he had seen before, he had no plans of returning.

I can't just come here for no reason.

"It's nothing, really. I just asked you to come back to the Si family more often. Also... I asked where Mingyue was buried. You haven't visited for so many years, so I fooled you."

This question stumped Qi Wang.

After the funeral, my mother's body was cremated and sent directly to the cemetery.

While in the orphanage, he was not allowed to leave without permission, and had no chance to visit the cemetery to pay his respects.

When he grew up and left the orphanage, he learned about the development of the cemetery.

That’s right, the cemetery was later razed to the ground and became a commercial plaza as the city developed.

Those buried there...if their bodies are claimed by their families, they will be moved to another family cemetery. If no one claims them...they will naturally be dealt with in a centralized manner.

I didn’t have the chance to worship him when I was a child, and now there’s no place to worship him when I grow up.

"Uncle Qin, you remember the cemetery thing, right? If I had known you earlier, my mother wouldn't have even had a tombstone until now."

There was silence in the hall.

"I haven't told Si Lin about this yet. He's already dead, so I hope he doesn't take it too seriously."

His wrinkled face hinted at a mockery: "If you don't care about it while you're alive, what's the point of having a cemetery after you die? It's just making excuses for your mistakes and seeking psychological comfort."

Psychological comfort is also a kind of comfort. The existence of cemeteries means that the living people remember the deceased.

Qi Wang ended the topic in a calm voice.

"I will make this matter clear with him. Uncle Qin, you must have worked hard during these months when I was away."

…

A week after returning to China was not enough time, so the next day Chi Yuan took Nian Nian and the three of them returned to the Chi family's old house.

But Wen Yurong was the only one at home, and Chi's father was very busy at the company.

Chi Yuan did not inform his family in advance about their return, just to give them a surprise.

Seeing the three people coming, Wen Yurong's face showed a hint of anger.

"You came so suddenly, your father and I were not prepared at all! At least you should have told us in advance! You came back just like that, how can you say that?! Come in quickly!"

The words sounded extremely angry, but what parent doesn't want their child to come home?

While blaming others, he was actually blaming himself for not being well prepared for the reception.

Chi Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Then let's go back first? We'll come back when you're ready?"

As she said this, she pretended to turn around and leave with the child in her arms.

"Hey! I didn't chase you away! Why are you in such a hurry? Come in and sit down."

After entering the hall, Xiaoyu immediately took Nian Nian in her arms. Wen Yurong still had a bad face towards Qi Wang.

"We have to get your dad back early today so we can go out for dinner as a family."

Chi Yuan shook his head: "You two can just take a rest. Qi Wang and I will take care of the meal tonight."

Wen Yurong shook her head and sighed: "Why do you two have to go through so much trouble? After you go abroad, your father will also ask Qi Wang for help when he encounters problems that he can't solve..."

"Mom, it's all over." Qi Wang interrupted: "It's just a small favor."

Chi Yuan was present, and he didn't want her to know too much.

"I'm not praising you. The misunderstanding between you and Yuanyuan was unnecessary. Look, you've wasted a year and divorced a good marriage just like that. Do you think marriage is a joke?"

Even though he was mentally prepared before returning, Chi Yuan couldn't help feeling ashamed when faced with the nagging of his elders.

It was Qi Wang who first proposed divorce, but now it is she who is unwilling to remarry.

The next second, Wen Yurong asked, "Did you register after returning to China? Or did you register abroad?"

Chi Yuan lowered his voice: "Not yet, we just came back yesterday, there's no rush for registration."

I'm afraid she is the only one who is not in a hurry.

Wen Yurong was even more confused: "What do you mean? You've reconciled but you don't want to remarry and register. How can that be possible? We'll go register tomorrow. From now on, you two should live a good life and stop making trouble."

If he hadn't been urged, Chi Yuan would have planned to register, but once he was urged... a rebellious mentality inexplicably emerged.

"Mom, there's really no rush. Qi Wang isn't in a hurry, so why are you in a hurry?"

She threw herself into the man's arms, but didn't dare to look into his eyes.

It is not impossible for the two of them to join forces to force a marriage at this time.

Wen Yurong turned to Qi Wang and said, "What about you? Just let her do what she wants? It's just a registration. If your relationship improves, remarry to avoid any more trouble."

As parents, they are also worried. Qi Wang is in great demand now, and his previous divorce has become known to the whole city. Now, no one knows how many people want to take advantage of the situation.

It would be different if there were legal constraints.

Qi Wang just gently stroked the hair of the person in his arms: "I will give her a grand wedding, even more grand than when we first got married."

Suddenly, there was a pair of rebellious hands in my arms.

The man smiled and said softly, "It depends on when Yuanyuan is willing to marry me. If she doesn't want to, I will find a way to make her agree."

Saying such things in front of her mother really leaves her no way out.

Chi Yuan suspected that Qi Wang had other plans for returning to China this time.

Planning for her.

"Then it depends on your performance."

The questioning about the marriage registration was finally over, and Chi Yuan felt inexplicably relieved.

Then she asked about other things.

Chi and Bai, as well as my father's health condition.

"I heard that Uncle Bai has bone cancer. What's his condition like?"

Bai Qingcheng seemed to be very busy, and it took a long time for a response to the message he sent. In the end, Chi Yuan simply stopped sending messages as he didn't want to disturb her.

"I mentioned this to your father, and he took him to the hospital for a checkup a while ago. No problems were found so far, and your father has come to terms with it. Health is more important than making money, so he told you not to put too much pressure on yourself. It's okay if you can't go public."

Chi Yuan did not answer.

Everyone understands the principle, but everyone works very hard and wants to do everything well regardless of their health.

The so-called taking things easy is sometimes just self-consolation.

Time passed minute by minute. After receiving the news from Wen Yurong, Chi's father rushed home, while Qi Wang ordered food from the hotel to be delivered home.

Seeing the food arranged on the table, Chi Yuan remembered his earlier boast that he would cook, but he had forgotten about it long ago.

The family hasn't had a meal together for a long time.

Nian Nian didn't cry today, but looked at everything around her curiously.

Children are always curious about new environments.

After hearing about Chi Yuan’s plans for the past two years, Chi’s father expressed his approval.

"I remember you wanted to pursue further studies. If it weren't for the accident, you would have graduated with a doctorate by now. Now that you have the opportunity, work hard."

He looked at Nian Nian and said, "Since both of you have things to do, who will take care of the children? Why don't you just stay at home? Your mother keeps talking about grandchildren."

Originally, Chi Yuan wanted to keep the child with him all the time.
