Jin Shen and Jin Zun silently turned to look at their wives, their eyes revealing a mixture of curiosity and emotion. Having lived for years in the vast rural areas of Northeast China, they had never personally experienced the bustling urban environment, so it was perfectly normal for them to yearn for this new lifestyle.
At this moment, Jin Shen slowly spoke up: "After Qian Gui's wedding is finalized, we'll celebrate the New Year together here. The reason we brought Grandpa and Grandma over is so that everyone can have a family reunion. However, after the New Year, Jin Zun and I still have to go back to the Northeast."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Ning, who was standing next to him, immediately widened his eyes and asked in a sharp voice, "Why? Why do you have to go back? Look how nice this big house is! Why give up such a good life and insist on going back to the Northeast?"
Faced with Fu Ning's sudden questioning, Jin Shen was slightly taken aback. He composed himself and patiently explained to her, "You should also know that Wan Mao has an important project in the county. Although Qian Mao is currently in charge of managing it, he will return to Pengcheng when his children are older. So after the New Year, Jin Zun and I returned to the Northeast to take over the work on that project."
However, Fu Ning didn't seem to buy it. She retorted angrily, "Since Qian Mao is already doing a good job over there, let him continue to manage it! Why do we have to replace him?"
Jin Shen patiently explained, "Qian Mao is the general manager of Wanmao Company. His position is higher than mine, and he has more responsibilities. How can we let him stay there? Besides, we also have projects here, and we need him more."
Fu Ning shouted angrily, "This Duoduo is really outrageous! She can get a general manager position for her brother, so why can't she get one for you too? You're her cousin, after all, and you've spoiled her rotten since she was little."
Upon hearing this, Jin Shen abruptly stopped in his tracks, but only for a moment before regaining his composure. However, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment and sadness flickered deep in his eyes. He turned slightly to look at Fu Ning, forcing a smile as he said, "I drank a bit too much today, and I feel dizzy right now. I really don't feel like strolling around anymore. Let's go back and rest."
Although Fu Ning was still reluctant to end her shopping trip so abruptly, she thought that she wouldn't be leaving Pengcheng anytime soon and there would be plenty of opportunities to shop around in the future. So she obediently nodded and followed closely behind Jin Shen, holding her child tightly.
Yang Zi and Jin Zun, walking not far behind them, naturally overheard Jin Shen's words. Yang Zi bit her lip, her brows furrowed slightly, and with a worried expression, she reached out and took Jin Zun's hand, asking softly, "Does this mean... we really have to go back to the Northeast like this?"
Jin Zun nodded solemnly and replied slowly, "You've seen the construction projects in this county town yourself. So far, only one building has been completed, and it's temporarily being managed by Qian Yin and Qian Mao. But there will definitely be more work to be done later, so my brother and I estimate we'll be staying in the Northeast for quite a while."
After a brief silence, Yang Zi slowly raised her head and looked at Jin Zun. She gazed at him, her lips moving slightly, but ultimately she didn't utter the words, "I can stay here alone with the child." Although she had only been here for two short days, through her observations and interactions, she had clearly realized that if she wanted to live here alone for an extended period, she would likely face many thorny problems.
First, there was the language barrier; the language spoken by many people here was like gibberish to Yang Zi. Second, there was the issue of the child's education; being unfamiliar with the area, the child's future learning progress was truly worrying. However, considering that they would be staying here for quite some time, Yang Zi secretly thought: there was no need to rush to solve the problem.
Unaware of what her two cousins-in-law were thinking, Qian Duoduo was walking home with Lu Yuan. Soon, they arrived at their door. Lu Yuan led Qian Duoduo across the threshold first, then slammed the door shut with a loud bang. Poor Hu Da, following closely behind, was caught off guard and nearly bumped into it, his nose just inches from the door!
At this moment, Zhang Tian, who was standing to the side, witnessed the whole thing. He first glanced at his partner, who was expressionless but had very expressive eyes, and then a burst of laughter almost burst out of his head, but Zhang Tian's face remained expressionless.
Qian Duoduo looked at Lu Yuan, who was hugging her, and said with a smile, "Hu Da is probably cursing you a lot in his heart."
Lu Yuan curled his lip dismissively and said scornfully, "You really don't understand, these two guys are absolutely annoying! They're like two inseparable little shadows! Humph, when it comes to fighting, they're no match for me; and when it comes to eloquence, I can shut them up completely. All they do is wear that cold, poker face all day long, I really don't know what else they can do, they're utterly useless!"
Hearing this, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but laugh. She stretched out her jade-like arm and gently hugged Lu Yuan's neck, saying coquettishly, "Oh ho, now that you mention it, you're right. But you're always so good at ordering me around, why are you complaining now?"
Lu Yuan chuckled and quickly kissed Qian Duoduo's rosy cheek, then said with a mischievous grin, "Oh dear, the only use they are is for me to order around." With that, the two of them went upstairs hand in hand.
As soon as they entered the room, Lu Yuan impatiently pressed Qian Duoduo tightly against the wall and then passionately kissed her luscious lips. Their foreheads pressed together, their breaths mingling, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air.
Lu Yuan, slightly out of breath, murmured in his deep, magnetic voice, "Duo Duo, I miss you so much, I miss you terribly! I was willing to risk my life to find you this time..."
Qian Duoduo gazed tenderly at the man before her, the man who haunted her dreams, her eyes lingering on his bobbing Adam's apple, her heart pounding. She whispered in response, "Darling, I miss you so much too, to the point of being incredibly, incredibly much. I even dream about you at night." She secretly hoped that if she showered him with sweet words, he might be a little gentler and slower when he was devouring her, perhaps even more considerate of her feelings.
Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her neck. She winced in pain and cursed inwardly: Is this man a dog?
