"So it seems you already knew? Dad was secretly training them?"

Xia Lan raised an eyebrow and put down the newspaper, while Qin Yu coughed nervously.

"Not long ago, just a couple of days ago, Dad suddenly wanted to train them to see if they had any talent..."

Qin Yu told Xia Lan about what had happened a couple of days ago.

The reason was that Qin Jun wanted to see if Yuan Yuan had any talent for military service, so he and Qin Yu put them to a test.

They had high hopes for the lively and energetic Tuantuan, but to their surprise, Yuanyuan silently ran five laps with her as well.

Her stamina is in no way inferior to Tuan Tuan's.

Furthermore, both children are still very healthy and flexible, which is a good time for them.

So Qin Jun and Qin Yu had their own ideas, but Xia Lan had always made it clear that the two children's future was their own to decide.

Qin Yu didn't dare to tell Xia Lan about this rashly. He had only thought it through these past two days and was just about to come back to discuss it with her.

Just as I was about to speak, Xia Lan found out first.

After Qin Yu finished speaking, Xia Lan remained silent for a long time.

"There's one more thing..."

Qin Yu thought for a moment, then spoke again, as there was something he was unsure about.

"About your desire to return to the village to develop your career?"

Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu, a slight smile playing on her lips.

You know?

Qin Yu paused, not expecting Xia Lan to have guessed it.

"You've been looking at things related to urban development these past few days."

Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu. Qin Yu had risen to prominence thanks to the village, and she knew how much he had sacrificed for the village to achieve its current scale.

Qin Yu had always wanted to rationalize these apparent issues, and he often consulted her books for this purpose.

Xia Lan has been paying attention to these things.

What do you think?

If they want to go back, they have to return to the village.

Everything left here, back to the village...

Anyone would resist that, right?

Why not give up the good life in the city and run back to the village?

I support whatever decision you make!

Xia Lan smiled and looked at Qin Yu.

"You must have thought about this for a long time, keeping it to yourself without telling me. But after being by your side for so many years, I can still detect your little tricks!"

Xia Lan chuckled softly; she had been waiting for him to speak.

"But what about Mom and Dad..."

Moved, Qin Yu pulled Xia Lan into his arms and gently kissed her cheek.

Xia Lan smiled slightly and kissed Qin Yu.

"Besides, I received a subsidy from the factory when I took the college entrance exam! I also happen to have some things I want to investigate."

Qin Yu hugged Xia Lan tightly.

Although he didn't say anything, with a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?

"But what will happen to Tuantuan and Yuanyuan if we go back?"

Xia Lan looked at the two little ones sleeping soundly on the bed; these two little ones were the most troublesome.

Let's discuss it with Mom and Dad tomorrow!

Qin Yu picked Xia Lan up and carried her outside.

Xia Lan hugged Qin Yu's shoulders, wondering where he was going.

Where are you taking me?

Xia Lan asked softly.

"They're already asleep today..."

Qin Yu's eyes gleamed with a dark light as he gently raised his chin and lightly kissed Xia Lan's lips.

That lingering gaze carries a heavy implication.

Xia Lan's heart trembled. Looking at the longing in Qin Yu's eyes, she slowly leaned down and bit his throat.

"If we wait any longer, they'll wake up..."

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes and quickly carried Xia Lan through the corridor.

As soon as I stepped outside, I ran into Xiao Yuqin, who was about to come out for a drink of water.

Seeing the two of them like this, Xiao Yuqin coughed and blinked.

"Oh dear, I'm getting old and my memory isn't what it used to be. I forgot to wear my reading glasses..."

Xiao Yuqin covered her eyes, took the cup, turned around and went back to her room, locking the door behind her.

"..."

Qin Yu and Xia Lan.

"Ugh, hurry back! This is so embarrassing!"

Xia Lan's cheeks flushed red. She punched Qin Yu, urging him to carry her back to the room quickly.

Qin Yu carried Xia Lan to the guest room and gently kissed her neck.

"Mom has created so many opportunities for us, how can you miss out on her kindness..."

Qin Yu chuckled, placed Xia Lan on the bed, and leaned down to hold her in his arms.

"Hmm."

"Brother Yu, listen, the child is awake..."

"He's not awake."

"Yu... um."

Qin Yu sealed that hateful little mouth shut. Xia Lan had nowhere to hide from Qin Yu's kiss and could only obediently accept her fate.

It was dismantled and eaten clean.

The next day, Xia Lan got out of bed with a sore back and aching waist, letting out a helpless cry of pain.

A man who hasn't had sex in a long time is not someone to mess with.

It almost cost her her life.

When she woke up, the house was empty. A note on the table said that Tuantuan and Yuanyuan had gone to visit the military camp with Qin Jun. Xiao Yuqin was worried and went with them.

Qin Yu went to work, leaving Xia Lan alone at home.

Xia Lan smiled slightly, knowing that Qin Yu had helped her secure this private space so she wouldn't feel awkward.

I sat in the living room, leisurely eating breakfast, and picked up today's newspaper to read.

Current policies have begun to encourage self-employment, but most people still believe that working for a company is the only proper job.

Individual business owners are still not widely accepted, but that doesn't stop them from enjoying the convenience.

Xia Lan wanted to go back for this reason.

It's already widespread in cities, so she wants to go back and see how widespread it is in rural towns.

But before that, she had to attend Bai Xiao and Sudan's wedding.

After three years, Bai Xiao, with his perseverance, finally convinced the Sultan to marry him.
