Qian Duoduo was about to tell Lu Yuan about what had happened in the past few years when she suddenly heard a noisy chatter coming from the doorway. Lu Yuan turned his head curiously and saw four small figures standing side by side in the doorway. These four little ones looked to be about five or six years old, each one exquisitely beautiful and extremely cute.
Qian Duoduo waved warmly to the children. The four children exchanged glances, then held hands and cautiously entered the house. From a distance, the four children looked exactly alike, as if they were carved from the same mold. If it weren't for their different colored clothes and matching backpacks, it would be difficult to tell them apart!
Everyone looked like a serious little adult, their adorable expressions were just too endearing. At this moment, Qian Duoduo smiled and took Lu Yuan's hand, introducing him: "This is your eldest son." Then, pointing to the others, she said, "Next to him are the second, third, and fourth sons."
However, the little boy called "Second Brother" complained angrily, "Please don't call me Second Brother! I'm all grown up now, and the name 'Second Brother' doesn't suit my personality at all, okay? My goal is to take down the boss and become the real boss!" After saying that, he even struck a majestic pose.
Looking at his second brother Lu Hao's roguish demeanor, Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh. The kid's behavior right now was exactly like his own when he was a child—it was uncanny!
Peng Fei stood quietly at the doorway, pondering how to coax the four adorable young masters to kindergarten. However, when he casually glanced inside, he discovered that Lu Yuan, who should have been sleeping soundly in bed, had opened his eyes and sat up. In an instant, Peng Fei's eyes widened like saucers, and his face lit up with an ecstatic smile. He excitedly exclaimed, "Lu, Chief Engineer Lu, you're awake? My God, you've finally woken up!"
Hearing Peng Fei's shout, Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback, staring at the strange man before him with suspicion. He tried hard to recall any memory of this person, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember anything. So, full of doubt, Lu Yuan asked, "Excuse me... who are you? Why are you in my house?"
With a beaming smile, Qian Duoduo slowly began to speak, "Didn't Wang Rui and Brother Qian Gui get married? This guy is a capable assistant I had prepared in advance. It just so happens that Wang Rui is pregnant and giving birth, so I made him my assistant. All these years, I've been taking good care of you here, while he's been running around handling all the complicated affairs outside." After saying this, Qian Duoduo playfully nodded to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan nodded thoughtfully, then turned his gaze to Peng Fei and said sincerely, "You've really gone through a lot!" Although he was still somewhat puzzled by the sudden appearance of this strange man in his home, Lu Yuan, based on his deep trust in Qian Duoduo, did not hesitate to express his gratitude to him.
However, how could the perceptive Qian Duoduo not notice the subtle hint of sourness in the words of her lover, who had only recently awakened after years of slumber? Others might not have noticed, but the corners of her cherry-red lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
Meanwhile, Hu Da parked his car at the entrance of the courtyard house, waiting to take the young masters to school. However, after waiting for a while, he still didn't see Peng Fei and the young masters appear before him. Hu Da, who had been relatively calm, couldn't help but become curious and wondered what had happened.
With Hu Da's quick steps, he soon arrived at the backyard. Just as he was about to continue walking, a burst of unusually excited voice reached his ears. He thought he was hallucinating; how could he hear Peng Fei saying that Chief Engineer Lu had woken up? His steps paused for a couple of seconds before quickening, and he rushed to Lu Yuan's bedroom door.
When Hu Da saw Lu Yuan sitting upright in the room, his eyes immediately welled up with tears. He abruptly pushed aside Peng Fei, who was blocking his way, rushed to the bedside, tightly grasped Lu Yuan's hands, and said in a trembling, urgent voice, "Chief Engineer Lu, you've finally woken up! We were all so worried these past few days!"
Upon hearing this, another person entered. Luo Yi, having heard Hu Da's words, also quickly walked in. Seeing Lu Yuan sitting on the bed and talking to others, she was extremely excited. She immediately said, "Chief Engineer Lu, you're awake! That's wonderful!" She then turned to Qian Duoduo and said, "Mrs. Lu, now that Chief Engineer Lu is awake, shouldn't we report this to the research institute and then have him checked out at the hospital?"
Qian Duoduo nodded; she did indeed need to inform the Lu family.
Seeing Chief Engineer Lu nod, Roy immediately ran out and quickly informed the higher-ups at the weapons research institute that Lu Yuan had woken up before hanging up the phone, as the subsequent series of events were beyond her control as a junior assistant.
After hanging up the phone, Roy turned to leave the phone, but suddenly found Qian Duoduo standing quietly behind her. Roy quickly moved aside to make room for Qian Duoduo.
Qian Duoduo smiled at the little girl. Since Lu Yuan fell into a coma, the weapons research institute had not only sent Hu Da and Zhang Tian, who had always been by Lu Yuan's side, but also four other bodyguards. However, after a year, Lu Yuan still showed no signs of waking up and was diagnosed as a vegetable by the hospital, so the weapons research institute gradually withdrew the four bodyguards.
Zhang Tian was also forced to leave last year, but Hu Da persisted. Later, I heard that he was fired by the research institute for disobeying orders. He didn't seem to care much. Only when Zhang Tian came to see Lu Yuan would he occasionally ask about the recent situation of his friends.
Later, the weapons research institute sent this young girl over to report on Lu Yuan's situation from time to time.
Qian Duoduo smiled at her, stepped forward without hesitation, grabbed the phone receiver, and dialed the number for the Lu family's old house. The kind and gentle voice of Old Mrs. Lu came from the other end of the line.
When Qian Duoduo conveyed the good news of Lu Yuan's awakening to Grandma Lu, the old lady's joy was palpable. She excitedly said, "That's wonderful! That's really wonderful! I'll immediately arrange for the hospital to make the necessary preparations. You should also be ready to receive news and take Lu Yuan for a comprehensive medical check-up as soon as possible."
Immediately afterward, Qian Duoduo dialed her hometown in Northeast China. When Jin Jinxiu learned that Lu Yuan had woken up, there was a brief silence on the other end of the line, followed by uncontrollable sobbing. These past few days, she had been deeply worried about her son-in-law's condition. Now, knowing that her daughter had finally weathered the most difficult time, a huge weight was lifted from her heart, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.
