After Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue returned to Fengcheng, their lives remained the same as before. They spent most of their time at Micro Gardening and would visit the flower garden every few days.
Taking advantage of the fact that Fengcheng's household registration policy was not strict, Yan Yue successfully moved his household registration here and settled in a house in the community. Lu Lingxi also moved his household registration out of his home and settled with Yan Yue. On the day he got the new household registration book, Yan Yue flipped through the contents with satisfaction. His name was filled in the column of head of household, followed by Lu Lingxi's family member.
"Xiaoxi, we are a family now."
As soon as they got in the car, Yan Yue couldn't help but hug Lu Lingxi in his arms, looked at him with a smile, and lowered his head to kiss Lu Lingxi eagerly.
Lu Lingxi was a little embarrassed. There were many people outside the household registration office. He didn't know whether he should push Yan Yue away. In fact, he was also happy in his heart. Seeing his and Yan Yue's names listed side by side in the household registration book, the feeling of happiness was hard to describe.
Yan Yue couldn't help but kiss Lu Lingxi, greedily devouring his breath. Finally, he was still rational, and when someone came over from outside the car, he reluctantly let go of Lu Lingxi. He gently tidied up the broken hair on Lu Lingxi's forehead and discussed: "Should we treat Akang and the others to a meal at noon to celebrate?"
"Celebrate?" Lu Lingxi didn't know what he was thinking about, and the tips of his ears suddenly turned red.
Seeing his expression, Yan Yue felt so soft-hearted that she leaned over and grabbed Lu Lingxi and kissed him several times. "It's settled. I'll call Akang, Fang Lei and the others."
Lu Lingxi nodded with a red face, thought for a moment and said, "Let's call Yi Hang and the others as well."
"good."
The place where the few people had dinner was decided to be the new branch of the small restaurant. Lu Lingxi first called Yi Hang and asked him to reserve a private room. The new branch of the small restaurant opened not long ago. Although the area is several times that of the first branch, it still has a huge flow of customers and is always full. With the increase in the number of tourists in Fengcheng, the reputation of the small restaurant has spread beyond Fengcheng. There are guests who come from far away and wait for half a day just to have a meal in the small restaurant.
After receiving Lu Lingxi's call, Yi Hang readily agreed. Especially the reason why Lu Lingxi invited him to dinner made him laugh. Speaking of which, Yi Hang really never thought that Lu Lingxi would like men. Even when Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi went in and out together at the beginning, he didn't suspect that. It was only when Lu Lingxi took the initiative to confess to him that Yi Hang suddenly realized it. No wonder Yan Yue looked unhappy every time he got close to Lu Lingxi.
After deciding on the dining location, Yan Yue notified An Jie and the others one by one. When they heard that he and Lu Lingxi were going to treat everyone to a meal, everyone was very enthusiastic. Even Fang Lei, the busiest person, promised to be on time and definitely not delay everyone's meal.
Yan Yue hung up the phone with a smile and looked at Lu Lingxi, "Let's go first."
Lu Lingxi nodded obediently.
When the two arrived, Su Lang, who was closest, had already arrived. He was alone in the private room, looking at something on his phone. Hearing the door open, Su Lang closed his phone and looked over with a smile, "Why are you so slow?"
"The streets are full of people and the traffic is really bad," Yan Yue explained.
Su Lang laughed, "I always ride a bicycle when I go out now, it's much faster than driving."
Yan Yue's mind was moved, and he thought that riding a bicycle was a good idea. Xiaoxi could sit in the front and he could always hold her in his arms. He was thinking about whether to buy a bicycle later, and Su Lang had already talked about business, "By the way, I will go to NT's headquarters next week to apply for the foreign patent of the wintergrass medicine."
Some time ago, Su Lang had applied for a domestic patent for the wintergrass drug in the name of Micro Gardening Technology Company, and is now preparing to officially put it into production. Their research team is very ambitious and wants to apply for foreign patents as well.
Yan Yue naturally would not object to this. Lu Lingxi listened and asked, "How is Xiaobao now?"
Su Lang smiled, his eyes gentle, "Xiaobao has almost recovered, and he can live like a normal person in the future."
"That's good." Lu Lingxi was a little surprised.
Su Lang looked at Lu Lingxi's smile and a strange look flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared without a trace. Fang Lei, Ye Kang and others arrived one after another, and everyone gathered together to joke. Su Lang looked at Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi holding hands across the table, picked up his phone and deleted the photos on it. The background of the photo was the primary school in Jing'an District, Zhongjing. Lu Lingxi was holding Yan Yue and standing at the gate of the primary school, talking to the old man who was guarding the gate. Su Lang didn't tell anyone that he happened to go to Zhongjing a few days ago. For some difficult to explain thoughts, he deliberately took an afternoon to go to the primary school in Jing'an District, but he never expected to meet Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue at the gate of the primary school.
At that moment, Su Lang thought a lot. He vaguely felt familiarity with Lu Lingxi, his inexplicable closeness to Lu Lingxi, and Lu Lingxi's unusual attention to Donglingcao... Many questions lingered in his heart, and the answers were about to come out, but Su Lang didn't dare to think about it anymore.
He hurriedly left the elementary school, left Zhongjing and returned to Fengcheng. Sometimes he wondered if he was dreaming, but the photos on his phone reminded him of the reality of his memory. Su Lang hadn't contacted Yan Yue for several days, and he didn't know whether he should ask his questions. Until Yan Yue called today, Su Lang suddenly felt relieved when he saw Lu Lingxi's smiling face. It didn't matter whether the answer was what he thought in his heart, Lu Lingxi was very happy, and that was enough.
Time passed quickly, and it was soon the end of August. Among the various news in Fengcheng, the locals were most concerned about the demolition and reconstruction of Nancheng. The news about several major consortiums in Zhongjing competing for the Nancheng project was the most noisy, and the Ye family and Hepu became the most likely winners. The two families were tit-for-tat everywhere, fighting all the way from Zhongjing to Fengcheng.
In early September, Fengcheng government officially launched the bidding for the South City demolition and reconstruction project. Yan Shihui brought Yan Hai to Fengcheng in person. Old Master Ye from the Ye family also appeared at the bidding meeting. He nodded at Yan Shihui from a distance, looking determined to win.
"Dad?" Yan Hai called out nervously.
Yan Shihui waved his hand, "This bidding will be fair, whoever pays the most will win. Even if the Ye family secretly does something, we have the money, and Yecheng can't get rid of us." He was full of confidence. For this project, he not only drew all the liquid funds of Hepu, but also mortgaged all his shares in Hepu for a large sum of money. Compared with the former, the latter is a larger sum. He knew that several competitors were strong, but he had already burned his boats and had to win this project.
Bidding will begin soon.
Hepu, Ye family, Li family... More than a dozen large and small consortiums tried to win this project, and the bids for the entire project soared. As the amount of money became larger and larger, consortiums gradually withdrew from the competition, and in the end only Hepu and Ye family were left.
Ye Kang was a little nervous. He had lived in the Ye family since he was a child and had seen many scenes like this, but this time the situation was special. He always kept Yan Yue's reminder in mind, fearing that the Ye family would fall into it by accident.
"Three billion." Old Master Ye raised the sign for the last time without making any expression.
Ye Kang's heart was beating wildly, and he immediately looked in the direction of Yan Shihui. From his perspective, Yan Shihui's face looked a little bad. Although everyone knew that this piece of land was valuable and could be earned back in the future if it was operated well, it should be noted that 3 billion was not the entire investment of this project, but only the money for a piece of land in Nancheng. The compensation for demolition in the later stage was an unpredictable bottomless pit. To be honest, based on the strength of the Ye family, it was a bit of a stretch now. Ye Kang knew the financial situation of Hepu, and it might be even more difficult.
While Ye Kang was paying attention to Yan Shihui, the eyes of the whole audience fell on Yan Shihui. Yan Shihui took a deep breath. The amount of money in the competition for the project had far exceeded his expectations, and the funds in his hands were not enough for this bid. Yan Shihui glanced at Mr. Ye obscurely, and the old man still looked like he was sure of winning. He didn't know if Mr. Ye knew any inside information, such as the rumor of "moving the capital" secretly circulating in Zhongjing. After hesitating for a few seconds, Yan Shihui decisively raised his card and reported a higher amount than the Ye family.
The attention of the whole audience shifted to Mr. Ye. A cunning look flashed in his eyes, and he made a gesture of giving up. As expected, Hepu won the land. Yan Shihui nodded to Mr. Ye with pride, and the old man pulled Ye Kang and left the venue without saying a word. In the eyes of the people around him, it seemed more like he left in anger because of the failure of the competition.
Outside the venue, Mr. Ye got into the car slowly and squinted at Ye Kang, "I helped kid Yue so much, how is he going to thank me?"
Ye Kang felt that he was simply frightened to death by the old man. Hearing this, he said helplessly, "What does Grandpa want?"
Mr. Ye felt a little regretful, he had always been optimistic about Yan Yue. "It's a pity that Yue doesn't like girls. Your cousin just graduated, and she's a good match for him." At this point, Mr. Ye suddenly looked at Ye Kang suspiciously, "Akang, you've been hiding and refusing to go on blind dates. Don't you like boys too? Who do you like? Ayue? Or the assistant next to Ayue? Don't you like that policeman?"
"..." Ye Kang turned his head with a distorted expression. This was why he was hiding and refused to go home. The old man was always thinking about catching him on a blind date. If he objected, who knows what the old man would think of.
Ye Kang almost rolled out of the car in a panic, and hurriedly told the old man that he was going to find Yan Yue. The old man sighed, "Actually, Akang and Yue are quite a good match, but it's a pity that someone got there first."
The driver who had been silently acting in the background: "..."
After the bidding was over, the development of South City was quickly put on the agenda. Yan Shihui gritted his teeth and borrowed another sum of money to quickly relocate one-third of the residents within the development area. Under the watchful eyes of the public, Yan Shihui moved the first shovel of soil, and the engineering team quickly followed and continued digging in his direction.
One meter, two meters, three meters, four meters, and when it reached five meters, the excavator suddenly stopped. The driver stuck his head out and pointed to the ground, "I feel something is wrong."
"What's wrong?" Yan Shihui stopped and asked.
The next moment, a torrent rushed up into the sky, the soil receded, revealing the tangled roots of the trees underneath.
Yan Shihui had a bad feeling in his heart, "Let's try digging around."
The engineering team spread out to the surroundings. Within a thousand meters, the ground was full of tree roots several people thick, like coiled dragons lying in the dark brown soil, intertwined and endless. Before Yan Shihui could come up with a solution, the news had spread. The whole Fengcheng was shaken, and countless people rushed in. The expert group sent people to protect the site as quickly as possible and began further investigation. As for Yan Shihui's project, who would care?
While the eyes of the entire Fengcheng were fixed on South City, Lu Lingxi's family was in the midst of chaos.
After ten months of pregnancy, the baby in Wang Shuxiu's belly was finally about to be born.
"Hurry, I'll take Xiaohua to the hospital first, Xiaoxi, pack up and follow me." Xiao Feng hugged Wang Shuxiu and ran towards the car quickly. Before he did anything, he was already sweating profusely.
Lu Lingxi agreed while quickly packing up the things he had prepared in advance. Clothes, towels, baby blankets, diapers... "Anything else?" He asked Yan Yue nervously.
Yan Yue checked the list again, "Is there a bottle missing?"
"Ah? Yes." Lu Lingxi hurriedly looked for the bottle. There were four bottles at home, in different sizes and models. He might as well take them all with him and use whichever the doctor told him to use.
After a flurry of activity, the two rushed to the hospital with their bags and bags. Wang Shuxiu was in good condition and had been sent to the delivery room.
Lu Lingxi was a little worried, but more nervous, "Will mom be okay?"
"It will definitely be fine." Yan Yue's voice had a calming power.
Lu Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief and leaned gently in Yan Yue's arms, waiting for the birth of a new life.
