Qin Zhen was a little surprised. He didn't expect Lu Cheng to take the initiative to talk to him.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked calmly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Dad, let's go out for a walk." Lu Cheng smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
There are many people at home, so it’s inconvenient to talk about what I want to say.
Qin Zhen glanced at Lu Cheng, then strode out first.
The two walked out of the yard together and strolled towards the foot of the mountain.
After they walked a distance and made sure that there was no one else around, Lu Cheng spoke, "I know you are worried about Ningning, so I will tell you my secret.
When I was twelve, I fell from a tree and was in a coma for four months..."
Lu Cheng recounted in detail his bizarre experience of traveling to the modern era and then returning here again.
"I love Ningning, just like you do. If she is in danger, I can risk my life to save her, so you don't have to worry that I will do anything to harm her.
There is one more thing Ningning hasn't told you. I'll take you there to see it for yourself. I believe you won't have any more doubts then."
Lu Cheng grabbed Qin Zhen's arm, and with a thought, the two of them entered the space in the next second.
Even Qin Zhen, who was knowledgeable and had experienced countless storms, couldn't help but widen his eyes at this moment, his face full of astonishment.
He stared blankly at the scene in front of him, his mouth slightly open, stuttering a little, which was rare, "What...what is going on?"
Lu Cheng took a deep breath and said slowly, "This is the biggest secret between Ningning and me, the space we share."
He also wondered if Qin Zhen knew about the existence of the space, became too selfish, and did something to hurt them.
But after careful consideration, he decided to take the risk.
“As you can see, this space can not only grow a variety of crops but also raise livestock.
But I think its greatest benefit is that it houses Ningning's own laboratory, where she can conduct experiments and develop drugs with peace of mind."
As Lu Cheng spoke, he took Qin Zhen to the laboratory, then opened the door and let him see the sophisticated instruments and equipment with his own eyes.
"Ningning often immerses herself in experiments here, including the box of scar cream she gave you, which she also carefully made here.
After saying that, he took Qin Zhen to see their study. He was shocked by the rows of books inside.
Sure enough, the reason why Ningning is so outstanding now is because she has been working hard silently.
Qin Zhen put his hands behind his back, his eyes sharp as a knife as he scrutinized Lu Cheng. "Boy, aren't you afraid that if you tell me all your secrets, I might harm you?"
"Afraid!" Lu Cheng stared at Qin Zhen without flinching and said frankly, "If I tell you such a big secret, it would be a lie to say I'm not afraid.
But I also understand that simply telling you that I have traveled through time will not completely eliminate your doubts about me.
After all, they are just empty words. I may regret it at any time and say that those are all lies made up by you.
So I show you my cards. I believe in your deep and sincere fatherly love for Ningning.
This space is jointly owned by Ningning and I. Apart from the two of us, you are the only one who knows of its existence.
As long as I don't do anything to let Ningning down, given your love for your daughter, I'm sure you won't touch a hair on my head for Ningning's sake."
Lu Cheng is 80% sure about this matter, but the remaining 20% is full of uncertainty, which is the unpredictable human nature.
Therefore, he was actually betting on how important Qin An Ning was in Qin Zhen's heart.
After all, no matter how cautious Ningning Pharmaceutical is, it may still reveal flaws in front of familiar people.
For example, the life-saving medicine given to Cheng Yanlang is made from rare medicinal materials in the space.
There is no guarantee that there will be an emergency in the future when the medicine in the space will be needed. Qin Zhen will sooner or later find out that something is wrong.
Instead of trying to find excuses to cover up the facts later, it is better to confess everything now.
In this way, when Ningning encounters something uncontrollable, Qin Zhen can help cover her, and she will be safer.
Qin Zhen kept his eyes on Lu Cheng, not missing any change in his facial expression.
He believed that few people could lie under his close scrutiny without being discovered, so everything Lu Cheng said was true.
Qin Zhen felt deeply relieved because he saw Lu Cheng's deep and sincere love for Ning Ning.
So he patted Lu Cheng's shoulder gently and said simply, "Be good to Ningning!"
There is no need to say anything else.
After the two returned, their relationship was obviously much closer. When Qin Anning woke up, she was still wondering, hadn't she slept for a thousand years?
Why did her father suddenly like Lu Cheng?
There is an unspoken tacit understanding between the two!
The answer to this question was not received until the evening.
Qin Anning was so moved that she threw herself into Lu Cheng's arms and hugged him tightly. "Silly boy, you don't have to do this. He is my father. He will stand by me no matter what."
The matter of space was even more bizarre than her time travel and rebirth. She herself hadn't even decided whether to tell Qin Zhen, but Lu Cheng told him everything without any scruples.
It would be more accurate to say that he gave up everything for her rather than telling his father all his cards.
Lu Cheng smiled indifferently, "This is also good, we don't need to feel burdened.
If you really want to thank me, then..."
He whispered something in Qin An Ning's ear. Qin An Ning glared at him, but also agreed with him.
The temperature in the room gradually rose, and the moon on the branches was so shy that it covered its face.
The next day, Lu Cheng felt refreshed and in high spirits, while Qin An Ning suffered from back and leg pain and deeply regretted his decision last night.
Happy days always pass quickly. In the blink of an eye, it is the fourth day of the New Year. Qin Zhen will return to Beijing to report tomorrow.
When Wang Qiufen learned that Lu Cheng and the others were also going back to Beijing, she felt reluctant to let them go. She said that they were only coming back for a vacation, and at most they would only stay at home for a few more days during the Chinese New Year.
However, she also knew that they had important things to do when they returned, and no matter how reluctant she was, she could not stop them from moving forward.
So she pulled herself together and prepared a sumptuous meal.
Qin Zhen raised his glass and toasted Wang Qiufen, "My dear, I've really troubled you these past few days. I'll toast you a glass."
Wang Qiufen quickly waved her hands, "You're being too formal. Even if you're not here, we still have to eat, right?
Besides, you'll need to take care of the two children in Beijing, and I haven't even thanked you yet!"
Qin Zhen laughed after hearing this, "You're right, we're all family, there's no need to thank each other.
With me taking care of them in Beijing, the children will definitely not suffer any loss."
Everyone chatted and laughed after dinner. In the evening, Qin Anning and Qin Zhen went to see their grandparents again, and set off back to Beijing the next day.
