On the phone, Lu Zhengjing sounded a little unhappy: "Xihua, do you miss me? I was planning to visit you for the New Year this year, but now I can't."
Chen Xihua joked, "It's okay, there will be other opportunities in the future."
However, Master Lu, I heard you injured your arm. You must take good care of yourself.
If anything were to happen to you, the Chen family could not afford to compensate the Lu family.
Even if we're just dating now and could break up at any time, I won't care if we get married.
You need to know your own situation. You're an old man, eight or nine years older than me.
Two days ago, Chen Xihua had already learned about it from her second sister.
During this mission, both Lu Zhengjing and Zheng Dao were injured because they risked everything to save her.
Fortunately, in the end, all three only suffered minor injuries.
Chen Xihua was actually very grateful to him, but she also hoped that he would not take his own life lightly.
"Xi Hua, you've agreed to marry me?" The man on the other end of the line asked excitedly.
Lu Zhengjing pretended not to hear anything else, only that one sentence: "We're married."
Actually, at the end of last year, just after Chen Xihua agreed to date him...
Within a few days, Lu Zhengjing began to subtly say various cryptic things.
They said they would get married when she turned twenty.
Dating someone without the intention of marriage is just playing around.
Also, he's not young anymore, and his nephew is about to get married. He can't fall behind his eldest nephew, Jinyang.
Chen Xihua retorted, somewhat speechless, "I was just saying, 'If,' 'If...'"
"And another thing, I don't care what secret missions you have, you need to take care of your own life at all times."
If you leave before me, even if we've become family, I certainly won't remain a widow for you.
I immediately turned around and found a handsome young man.
"Don't even think about it, I'll grow old with you!" Lu Zhengjing's voice suddenly rose, carrying a hint of madness, stubbornness, and determination.
"You'd better keep your word, otherwise, even when you're seventy or eighty and your hair is all white."
If you leave before me, I'll find an old man and try a twilight romance.
"Xi Hua, don't say these things, they make me feel bad!"
On the other side, Lu Zhengjing's expression was rather unpleasant, and his voice sounded very dejected.
Soon, he suddenly thought of something, and his tone became even more cheerful.
"I'm not eight years older than you. Actually, I'm only two months older than Changxing."
I was born at the end of December, and he was born in February of the following year.
When I was little, I was unhappy that adults always said I was the same age as my nephew and that I was more childish than him.
Then, I pretended to be a little adult and insisted that I was a year older than my nephew. When they objected, I threw a tantrum.
Gradually, the adults in my family started to think that I was a year older than Changxing.
Moreover, I requested to start school a year early; I did not want to be in the same class as Changxing.
My grandfather was still alive then. It was as if he knew what I was thinking. When registering my household registration, he recorded me as a year older.
You were born in early November; I'm only seven years, ten months, and twenty-six days older than you.
"Hahaha...I'm dying of laughter, is there any difference between this and when I was eight years old?"
Chen Xihua couldn't stop laughing; she simply couldn't hold back.
She never expected that Lu Qiye had such a childish side when he was young.
She thought to herself, "When we first met, this guy always seemed so old-fashioned."
It turns out that I've been pretending to be a little adult since I was a child, and it's become a habit.
Lu Zhengjing replied arrogantly, "Yes, but I'm not eight years older than you, and I will definitely stay with you until we grow old."
Okay, if he says no, then no.
She discovered that this person had suffered from amnesia for a while and had become very immature.
Actually, there's no need for that. Chen Xihua thinks she's very mature, at least over thirty.
Spring has passed and summer has arrived; time flies, and before we know it, it's early May.
Chen Xihua has been stationed at the group's headquarters for almost half a year.
She went through all the affairs of the company, big and small, and also inspected all the clothing stores.
Two Lihua stores in Shanghai, three Fanghua stores in Ontario, three Fanghua stores in Hunan Province, and one Lihua store.
When she arrived in Hunan Province, she also visited Tangjia Braised Meat Shop. Tangjia had already opened twenty small chain stores.
Finally, she went back to several stores in Yun City, Nan Province, which was where she visited the most.
Last month, Chen Xihua also returned to Jiang City.
The main purpose was to visit Lehu Village in Huanshan City next door to see how Jinghua Manor was being built.
The current construction period is more than halfway complete, and it will take about two more years to finish.
Tomorrow morning, Chen Xihua will fly to Beijing for her graduation thesis defense and to pick up her diploma.
When she returned to Beijing, her fourth sister came to pick her up. Lu Zhengjing had gone to the overseas branch and was not in Beijing.
In the past six months or so, after he recovered, it seems that his superiors instructed him to seriously pursue a money-making career.
Other secret missions and the like are rarely assigned to him anymore.
Back at Kyoto University, I first defended my dissertation, and then attended the graduation ceremony.
She had originally planned for a week, but it took her until the day after Chen Xihua finished her defense.
On May 10th, the eldest sister, Chen Chunhua, was about to give birth.
Chen Xihua and Chen Xiuhua decided not to attend the graduation ceremony and instead headed directly to Yun City in Nan Province.
Chen San San originally wanted to go back, but she still had two more days of filming to complete, so she could only wait a few days before returning.
The two sisters arrived at the hospital at 9 p.m.
As Chen Chunhua was being taken into the delivery room, two people were standing at the door: Zheng's mother and her brother-in-law, Zheng Dao.
Zheng Dao paced back and forth in the corridor. Zheng's mother watched him, feeling a little dizzy, and she was also worried.
"Xiao Wu, Fourth Sister, you're here." Zheng Dao looked worried and nervous.
Even though he was a soldier, he was a person with stable emotions and excellent control over his facial expressions.
Zheng Dao also showed visible fear and unease at this moment.
After regaining her composure, Zheng's mother said, "Xihua, Xiuhua, you've arrived!"
"Um, brother-in-law, Aunt Zheng, how long has my eldest sister been inside?"
Chen Xihua looked up at the scrolling words on the door of the delivery room.
Chen Xiuhua also asked some questions she was concerned about, such as whether the baby was in the correct position and whether she could have a vaginal delivery.
It wasn't until almost midnight that the delivery room door was opened, and two nurses came out first, each holding a baby.
"Congratulations, it's two boys, weighing 4.2 pounds and 3.9 pounds respectively. Mother and children are safe and sound. The mother still needs to get ready."
"How is my daughter-in-law?" Zheng's mother didn't immediately go to hold the baby; instead, she poked her head into the delivery room to ask.
"Where's my wife?" Zheng Dao had already run forward, looking expectantly inside. "Can I go in?"
Because the nurse said it wasn't possible, Zheng Dao could only wait before turning around to hug one of her sons.
The other one was already in Zheng's mother's hands. She looked at her grandson with a loving smile and a satisfied expression.
As for the Chen sisters, they only watched from the sidelines; neither of them dared to hold the newborn baby.
Her skin was red, her eyes were tightly closed, and she looked weak.
Moreover, the weather was already quite hot, and the blankets provided by the hospital were very thin, so the two of them were even more hesitant to use them.
It was more than ten minutes later when Chen Chunhua was wheeled out and sent back to her ward.
She had woken up and saw her two younger sisters, her two sons beside the bed, as well as her husband and mother-in-law.
"Wife, how are you?" Zheng Dao asked with concern in his eyes.
A happy smile appeared in Chen Chunhua's eyes, "I'm fine!"
Knowing that their eldest sister had given birth smoothly, the two sisters did not stay long and went home first.
Zheng Dao stayed with his mother at the hospital. Originally, Zheng's mother also wanted to stay at the hospital, but everyone refused, saying that the elderly should not be too tired.
Moreover, the Zheng family has hired two nannies, which is enough to take care of two babies.
