Compared to the Su family's lively dinners every day, the Leng family's life seemed far too desolate.
Leng's mother and Liu's wife prepared a meal together at home, waiting for their husbands to come home for dinner.
Seeing the last dish served, Leng's mother nodded in satisfaction.
"Sister Liu, sit down and rest, don't bother with all this work."
Aunt Liu was a diligent person and never noticed the kitchen being dirty or messy. Hearing Mother Leng's words, she quickly tidied up while replying.
"I'll tidy up the kitchen a bit right away."
A few minutes later, Aunt Liu took off her apron, washed her hands, and sat down at the dining table.
"Madam, has the master sent a message?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of a car came from outside the villa. The two looked at each other and knew that their husband had returned.
Uncle Lin parked the car in his own open-air parking lot. After the car was parked, Father Leng opened the car door and got out.
The two walked inside one after the other. Leng's mother took her husband's briefcase and placed it in its usual spot. After he changed into his slippers, they walked together towards the dining room.
"Old Lin, come and have a meal with us."
Uncle Lin was taken aback and quickly refused.
"Madam, no need, I'll just eat in my room."
Mother Leng said reproachfully, "It's alright, listen to me, you and Aunt Liu will eat with us."
Just as Uncle Lin was about to refuse, Father Leng suddenly spoke up.
"Old Lin, we'll do as Madam says."
Left with no other choice, Uncle Lin had to agree and sit down at the table.
After finishing their meal, Uncle Lin and Aunt Liu cleaned up the dishes together.
Mr. and Mrs. Leng sat on the sofa, leisurely drinking tea and chatting.
"Honey, have a cup of tea."
The father took the teacup from his wife, blew on it gently, and then took a sip.
"This Zhuyeqing tea is quite good; it has a pure and refreshing taste." It leaves a lingering sweet aftertaste.
Leng's mother smiled slightly and poured herself a glass as well.
"That's why I like to drink it, and it contains a lot of chlorophyll."
The cold-hearted father, having put down his teacup, pursed his lips and said, "Madam's tea-brewing skills are getting better and better; you are truly blessed."
His mother smiled gently, her eyes soft and her whole being radiating boundless tenderness. He was mesmerized by his wife's beauty.
Looking up, Leng Mu noticed her husband staring at her and became suspicious.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
As Leng's mother stood up and turned to leave, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by her husband. She turned around in confusion.
"What's wrong?" She was about to go to the bathroom to check.
"It's nothing, I just thought you were so gentle and beautiful just now."
Suddenly praised, Leng's mother chided, "You're acting strangely today."
Her husband used to be an extremely romantic person, but ever since their son left their lives, they seemed to have changed overnight.
Father Leng smiled faintly, pursed his lips slightly, and said, "Can't I just praise you?"
Just as Leng's mother was about to speak, her WeChat beeped. She opened it and saw it was a message from Shiyi; she was momentarily stunned.
Seeing his wife staring at her phone, the father was puzzled.
"A message sent to me by Shiyi."
Leng's father was also taken aback. Although they had added each other on WeChat, they hadn't chatted much, especially since it was Shen Shiyi who initiated the conversation.
"What did she say?"
"How about we go on a weekend trip to the suburbs?"
Mr. Leng couldn't think of anything fun to do in the suburbs. Just as he was about to speak, Mrs. Leng spoke up again.
"She said she was going to take some food to clear her head."
It was a sunny day, and the two families went to the suburbs for a day trip. Uncle Lin parked the car in the parking lot, and Mr. and Mrs. Leng got out of the car.
Uncle Lin, who got out of the car, went to the trunk first, took out a trolley and opened it. At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Leng also came to the trunk and began to help move things.
Shortly after, a Lamborghini and a Land Rover drove up.
The three looked over curiously and found that it was Shen Shiyi and others.
The three looked at each other, and Uncle Lin couldn't help but speak.
"They've arrived."
Wearing casual shorts, Shen Shiyi stepped out of the car with long legs, then turned around, bent down, and picked up Gu Niansi to get out of the car.
Gu Niansi, who had been asleep, woke up immediately when she was hugged. Her little head was on her mother's shoulder, and she opened her sleepy eyes to see a few people in front of her.
"Grandpa Leng, Grandma Leng?"
The couple smiled at each other and walked towards each other.
"You've arrived. Take good care of yourselves."
"Hello, Grandpa Leng and Grandma Leng."
The mother gently patted her daughter's head, her eyes full of doting affection.
"Aunt Leng, how long have you been here?"
It was rare for the father to speak, but he said, "I only arrived a few minutes earlier than you."
Leng's mother smiled gently and interjected at the opportune moment.
"yes."
Sophie came down at this moment, saw the two of them, and came over to greet them.
Hello.
"Hello, Ms. Su."
Father Leng nodded slightly to her, and Sophie nodded back as well.
Hearing their address, Qin Ziming stepped forward.
"Aunt Leng, you don't need to call me Aunt Su anymore, it's too formal."
Sophie understood her nephew's implied meaning and echoed him.
"Yes, from now on you can call me Xiao Fei."
Leng's mother glanced at her husband and smiled gently.
"Okay, Xiaofei, you can call me Mengjie from now on."
While they were talking, Ji Xuanchen and the others took all the items they had brought out of the trunk.
Lu Qinzhou came to Qin Ziming's side and said, "Boss, everything is ready."
Qin Ziming nodded slightly, looked down at his silent son, squatted down, and kept eye level with him.
"Fanfan, would you like to ride on horseback?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhifan looked at his father in surprise, "Is that alright?"
He doesn't seem to have sat there before; usually, his father lets his younger sister sit there.
Qin Ziming affectionately flicked his forehead, and before he knew it, he had his son on his shoulder.
"Fanfan, hold on tight."
"Um."
As Shen Zhifan climbed to a high vantage point and looked out into the distance, everything seemed so magical.
When Gu Niansi, who was in Chen Shiyi's arms, saw this, she also wanted to sit on the horse's shoulder and muttered to herself.
"Mom, I want to ride on horse shoulders too."
Shen Shiyi and Su Fei looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
"Niannian, be good. Let your brother sit today, okay? Daddy will let you sit next time."
Gu Niansi looked at her mother with a wronged expression, but nodded very sensibly.
Nodding, seeing how sensible she was, Father Leng felt a pang of pity and said something that stunned everyone.
"Niannian, if you don't mind, Grandpa Leng can let you sit down."
The air froze for a few seconds before Shen Shiyi, realizing what had happened, hesitated to speak.
"No need, Uncle Leng..."
Before she could continue speaking, Father Leng had already taken Niannian from him and placed her on his shoulder.
"Niannian, sit tight, we're about to set off."
Gu Niansi, who could also enjoy the panoramic view from the high vantage point, couldn't stop smiling.
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa Leng."
Seeing this dramatic scene, Shen Shiyi felt a little embarrassed, and Leng's mother noticed her thoughts.
"It's alright, let him enjoy some family time. Let's go over there too."
Upon hearing Leng's mother's words, Shen Shiyi said nothing more.
The three women looked ahead, and the father of the cold took the initiative to chat with Qin Ziming. In the end, the two even had a competition to see who would reach the destination first.
The three women were stunned when they saw them suddenly start running.
