Gu Nanxun smiled upon hearing this and reached out to pull Lin Qing into his arms.

"Thank you for the compliment, baby!"

After saying that, he naturally buried his head in her arms again.

Lin Qing smiled and gently pushed Gu Nanxun's head, which was buried in her arms.

"Alright! Let's get down to business!"

Gu Nanxun sat up straight, following Lin Qing's pull.

"Very well, my wife speaks, and I am listening!"

Lin Qing rarely saw Gu Nanxun so serious, and she was amused by this side of him. She quietly suppressed her excitement and said, "Didn't Gu Nianqing say he would be back before Monday? Why isn't he back yet?"

When Gu Nanxun saw that Lin Qing was asking about Gu Nianqing, he hugged Lin Qing tightly again.

"Honey, this isn't about that kid. He's not a child anymore, so don't worry about him! What you should be focusing on right now is your husband!"

"hehe……"

Lin Qing was amused by Gu Nanxun's confident words. Since the two of them hadn't shared a room for several days, she couldn't help but have some thoughts about it.

Just as she was about to agree to go back to her room with Gu Nanxun, Gu Nianqing walked in from outside.

"I overheard Dad talking badly about me while I was outside!"

Gu Nianqing said with dissatisfaction.

"You little rascal, you're back just in time!"

Upon seeing Gu Nianqing, Gu Nanxun sighed in dissatisfaction and then sat up straight.

"That's right, I've just interrupted your lovey-dovey display!"

Gu Nianqing pouted in dissatisfaction and said, "My parents are going too far. They care about me less and less these days."

"Alright, since you came back on time, I won't hold it against you. Have you eaten yet?"

Lin Qing asked with a smile.

"Nianqing, what do you want to see me about?"

Before Gu Nianqing could reply, her uncle Zhao Jinxiang's voice came over.

Lin Qing looked up and saw Zhao Jinxiang walking out of the bedroom while talking. He was still wearing the military uniform he wore to work, so he had just come back from outside.

"Of course it's a good thing, Father. I plan to take you somewhere. Now that everyone is here, let's get ready to go!"

Gu Nianqing saw Zhao Jinxiang and said with a smile.

Where to?

Lin Qing asked curiously upon hearing this.

Gu Nianqing waved her hand and said mysteriously, "It's a secret...you'll find out when the time comes."

After saying that, he took Zhao Jinxiang's hand with one hand and Lin Qing's hand with the other, and gestured for Lin Qing to take Gu Nanxun's hand as well.

...

"Isn't this our Xiaotangshan resort? What's so secret about that?"

Lin Qing raised an eyebrow at the familiar scenery before her, and asked with a puzzled look.

"I have a surprise for you, come with me!"

Faced with Lin Qing's question, Gu Nianqing was not surprised at all. He raised his chin smugly and walked into the house first, bypassing the crowd.

"I'll see what this kid's up to!"

Lin Qing gave a helpless laugh and followed him into the house.

Gu Nanxun and Zhao Jinxiang were at the very back. They looked at each other, shook their heads, and followed them inside.

As soon as Lin Qing and the others entered the house, they saw a young man wearing a white T-shirt and simple jeans, standing with his back to them.

"This is?"

Lin Qing looked at Gu Nianqing with curiosity.

"Bai...bai...baibai..."

Before Gu Nianqing could reply, Zhao Jinxiang's stammering voice came from behind.

Then Lin Qing felt a gust of wind brush past her ear, and when she looked up, she saw her uncle pull the young man in front of her into his arms.

"Uncle Bai... Uncle Bai Li?!" Lin Qing stared wide-eyed at the scene before her in disbelief. Gu Nanxun was also shocked, while Gu Nianqing's lips curled up in a smug smile.

"Haha, how about that, surprised, right!" Gu Nianqing clapped her hands triumphantly, her eyes full of smiles.

"Bai Bai, what are you doing here? You're not leaving again, are you?" Zhao Jinxiang hugged Bai Li tightly, his eyes filled with tears, and his voice choked with sobs.

"Yes, I won't leave anymore, I won't leave again." Bai Li gently ruffled Zhao Jinxiang's hair, her eyes involuntarily reddening.

"You little rascal, you really know how to play tricks!" Lin Qing gently patted Gu Nianqing's shoulder, then pulled him and Gu Nanxun away from the room quietly, leaving the two inside alone.

...

"Nianqing, you knew all along that your father was coming back, didn't you!"

In the courtyard, Lin Qing looked at Gu Nianqing, who was eating snacks beside her, and couldn't help but ask her.

"Of course, I went there specifically to pick up my father," Gu Nianqing said with a smile, a sly glint in her eyes.

"You can keep it from your father, but what do we have to hide?"

Looking at her smug son, Lin Qing couldn't help but slap him and say disapprovingly.

“That won’t do. If everyone knows except Father, he will be sad.”

Gu Nianqing shook her head and said.

"You seem to care a lot about your father."

Suddenly, Gu Nanxun said sourly.

"Dad, don't tell me you're jealous?"

Hearing Gu Nanxun's tone, Gu Nianqing jumped up as if she had discovered a new continent, exclaiming in disbelief.

"You're overthinking it. How could I possibly be jealous!"

Gu Nanxun turned his head away embarrassedly and said in a fierce tone.

"Oh, Dad, both of you are my flesh and blood. You and Mom are like the palm of my hand, and Father and Father are like the back of my hand. Tell me, where would I not feel pain if I got hurt?"

Gu Nianqing spoke earnestly, her mature demeanor making Lin Qing giggle beside her.

Seeing this, all of Gu Nanxun's thoughts vanished, and he couldn't help but kick Gu Nianqing.

"You brat..."

After he finished cursing, he couldn't help but laugh. He was really obsessed. Why was he jealous of this brat?

...

Inside the room, after everyone left, Zhao Jinxiang couldn't help but hug Bai Li and start kissing her passionately. After a long time, he finally managed to suppress his anger after Bai Li tried to push him away.

"Bai Bai, you look younger!"

Zhao Jinxiang gently touched Bai Li's face and said.

"You do look younger. My body is only 32 years old, but you don't look old either, only a few years older than me."

Bai Li looked at Zhao Jinxiang with a gentle expression and said.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Qingqing and Nanxun. If it weren't for their spiritual spring water and all the delicious food and drinks they provided, I probably would have turned white by now."

Zhao Jinxiang said with deep emotion, feeling even more grateful to Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun at this moment.

Over the years, with the help of their spiritual spring water, my slightly gray hair has turned back to black, and I have become younger. Luckily, I have Nan Xun and the others, otherwise, how mismatched I would be standing next to Bai Bai right now!

Seeing Zhao Jinxiang's expression, Bai Li couldn't help but pat his head.

"I'll love you no matter what you look like, Jinxiang. You've worked so hard all these years!"
