Chu Yunxiao looked at Yunlong and Liu Anran, who were playing on the road, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Seeing Chu Yunxiao's eyes fixed on Liu Anran, Zhang Anqi said sourly, "Brother Yunxiao, how could you be interested in such a rude woman? Your taste is getting worse and worse. How can a woman like that be worthy of entering the Chu family?"
"What kind of woman An Ran is is none of your business to question," Chu Yunxiao said coldly.
Qin Ruixu also looked at Zhang Anqi with a cold gaze, "Anqi, what about your upbringing? Is this how the Zhang family raised you?"
"Uncle, I..."
Zhang Anqi tried to explain, but Qin Ruixu interrupted her, saying, "We are not related. I am not your uncle. You can call me Brother Qin, or you can call me Commander Qin."
“But that’s what I’ve called you since I was a child,” Zhang Anqi said unhappily.
Qin Ruixu said in a calm but authoritative voice, “When you were little, it didn’t matter what you were called. Now that you’re older, you should pay attention to how you are addressed.”
Seeing Qin Ruixu's resolute attitude, Zhang Anqi could only shut her mouth in frustration.
Qin Ruixu's men came to Qin Ruixu's side and all greeted Chu Yunxiao.
Qin Ruixu looked at Liu Anran and Yunlong, who were playing, and he suddenly wanted to find a woman like Liu Anran and have a son like Yunlong.
He suddenly felt a pang of jealousy towards Chu Yunxiao.
Liu Anran removed her veil, revealing her exquisite and refined beauty.
"Mom, aren't you wearing a veil anymore?" Yunlong asked.
"Wait a minute before putting it on." As soon as Liu Anran finished speaking, a beam of light shone from a distance in her direction, and the light happened to fall on her face. She quickly put the veil on.
A hint of amazement flashed in Qin Ruixu's calm and unwavering eyes. She was so beautiful; no wonder Chu Yunxiao doted on her so much.
Liu Anran saw Yunlong yawn, bent down to pick him up, and asked softly, "Yunlong, do you want to sleep?"
Yunlong rubbed his eyes and nodded, saying, "Yes! Mom, I'm sleepy."
Liu Anran gently patted Yunlong's back and coaxed him softly, "Go to sleep if you're sleepy!"
Yunlong said, "Mom, I want to hear you sing!"
"Yunlong, this is the middle of nowhere, we'll attract monsters here," Liu Anran said with difficulty.
“Mom, keep your voice down, or the monster won’t hear you,” Yunlong said stubbornly.
Liu Anran sighed helplessly, gently patted Yunlong's back, and softly hummed a lullaby.
"Sleep well! Sleep well, my dear baby..."
As Yunlong listened to the soft, melodious, and gentle singing, he couldn't help but smile. He was his mother's precious child, and his mother loved him. He slowly closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
In my dream, I had my mother, my father, and him; I had a complete family.
Chu Yunxiao and the others were all drawn to Liu Anran's singing. They stopped talking and looked at Liu Anran as she sang a lullaby to lull Yunlong to sleep.
“Boss, I also want to get married and have children,” said Wang Ping, one of Qin Ruixu’s subordinates.
"It's not too late to look now," Chu Yunxiao said with a smile.
Thinking about the rampant zombies, Wang Ping said bitterly, "Forget it. I can barely protect myself right now, and I also have to take care of my parents. Where would I find the extra energy to talk about love? Let's wait until we kill all the zombies!"
Listening to Yunlong's steady, even breathing, Liu Anran carried him toward Chu Yunxiao.
"Yunxiao, Yunlong is asleep. Should we put him in the car to sleep?"
Chu Yunxiao gently patted Yunlong's head and looked at Qin Ruixu, "Uncle, we need to get back in the car. We'll set off together tomorrow."
When Liu Anran heard Chu Yunxiao say the words "on the way" again, she couldn't help but say, "Yunxiao, the words 'on the way' are only used when sending the dead to their burial. Don't say 'on the way' again next time. It's like we're all going to report to the King of Hell. It's too unlucky."
Chu Yunxiao was taken aback. He always said it that way, so why did no one say it was unlucky?
“Our generation doesn’t care much about these details, but the older generation does. If you say these things when he’s about to leave, he’ll say you’re cursing him to die,” said Deng Kai, one of Qin Ruixu’s subordinates.
Wang Ping said, "I've never heard of such a taboo."
Liu Anran slowly said, "Didn't you hear those filial sons saying when they burned paper money, 'Go well on your journey, eat and drink well in the underworld, and if you don't have enough money, come to me in my dreams'?"
"When a person dies, their soul departs. When people visit the deceased, most will say, 'Rest in peace!' or 'Have a safe journey.' 'Rest in peace' implies 'going to the west.' If you tell a driver that you should go on your way, he's guaranteed to curse you out and cut you off completely."
Chu Yunxiao took Yunlong from Liu Anran's arms and said helplessly, "I won't say the words 'on the road' next time."
Chu Yunxiao didn't believe in these things, but Liu Anran was wary of them, so he simply kept quiet.
Liu Anran bid farewell to Qin Ruixu and his men, "Uncle, brothers, see you later!"
"See you later!" Qin Ruixu's subordinates said in unison.
They like women like Liu Anran—free-spirited, strong, but not unreasonable.
Qin Ruixu stood there watching Chu Yunxiao and Liu Anran walk further and further away until they were out of sight before he looked away.
Wang Ping looked at Qin Ruixu and said, "Boss, Chu Yunxiao's child is already four years old, and you're in your thirties. It's time you found a woman."
Qin Ruixu glanced at Wang Ping expressionlessly, then turned and walked towards the car.
Deng Kai slapped Wang Ping, "You've got some nerve, kid. How dare you talk about the boss like that?"
"I'm just worried about the boss because he's so old and doesn't have a woman by his side," Wang Ping explained, rubbing his head where he had been hit.
Qin Ruixu returned to the car, and Liu Anran's beautiful face appeared before his eyes. She was so pretty, no wonder she covered her face.
As Chu Yunxiao and Liu Anran passed a car, the car shook and they couldn't help but stop. The car window was half-open, and a woman's moans and panting could be heard from inside.
"Bai Lu, you are truly a beauty, I can't resist you." Zhou Yihong's voice came from inside the car.
"Brother Zhou, you're so naughty," Bai Lu said coquettishly.
“Brother can be even worse,” Zhou Yihong said with a wicked smile.
"Ah!..." Bai Lu couldn't help but exclaim, her voice filled with joy.
Chu Yunxiao's face darkened. Would it kill him to close the car window? What if he woke up his son?!
Liu Anran reached out and covered Yunlong's ears, her eyes darting around, and deliberately cried out in alarm, "There are zombies!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yunxiao smiled silently!
Zhou Yihong hurriedly got up from Bai Lu's body, rolled down the car window and asked, "Where are the zombies?"
Liu Anran patted her chest, still shaken, and said, "My God! That scared me to death. I saw a figure and thought it was a zombie, but then I saw it was holding a flashlight and realized I was mistaken."
Liu Anran looked at Zhou Yihong and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have disturbed your enjoyment. Please continue."
Chu Yunxiao looked at Zhou Yihong and said quietly, "Take it easy, you're going to shake the car to pieces."
Liu Anran burst out laughing.
The noise was indeed quite loud, but to say it shook the car apart is a bit of an exaggeration.
Bai Lu lay in the car, her face flushed with embarrassment. How could Chu Yunxiao and Liu Anran have caught her with Zhou Yihong?
