Qian Duoduo smiled, her eyes slightly narrowed, and looked at Lu Yuan with gentle eyes, nodding softly.
Lu Yuan, however, smiled slightly, revealing a hint of mockery, and said, "That's it? You actually managed to become an expert in torture!"
Hearing this, Qian Duoduo wasn't angry. She calmly replied, "Even so, I can't just do something like this. If something goes wrong, I can't bear the consequences. Besides, prisoners lie to others, but that's not always the case. After all, no one can guarantee that what they tell me is the truth!" After saying that, she shrugged helplessly, "Furthermore, I have the ability to create a spatial dimension. I'm afraid I'll be captured and dissected."
Upon seeing this, Lu Yuan burst into laughter, his voice hearty and loud: "Who would just casually dissect and examine someone? Take me for example, although I possess spatial abilities, if others could easily discover these abilities, wouldn't that be a huge problem!"
Qian Duoduo nodded in agreement and continued, "That's right, because your spatial ability can greatly assist you in weapon research, allowing you to achieve better results than others. But unfortunately, I don't have such a unique advantage." As she spoke, she sighed softly.
Lu Yuan reached out and ruffled Qian Duoduo's hair, saying, "You've been using your spatial abilities quite well, haven't you? At least the rice grown on the island was planted with your seeds, and you invented greenhouse vegetable cultivation in Xinjiang Province, didn't you? Aren't these seeds produced by your farm?"
Qian Duoduo tilted her head slightly, her clear, watery eyes gazing at Lu Yuan before her. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, as if she were deep in thought. After a moment, she parted her lips and said softly, "Hmm... now that you mention it, it does seem to make a lot of sense!" As soon as she finished speaking, a bright smile bloomed on Lu Yuan's handsome face.
He gazed at his wife with delight, inwardly marveling at her adorable appearance and bright, expressive eyes—truly irresistible charm! Meanwhile, Qian Duoduo's gaze subtly fell upon Lu Yuan's head. There, she noticed a few more faint strands of white hair that had appeared.
She tenderly reached out her delicate hand and gently stroked Lu Yuan's hair, asking with concern, "Darling, why has your hair turned even whiter? Honey, you know you're already several years older than me. Now, with these gray hairs, will you one day become a wrinkled old man, walking with difficulty? Maybe then I'll be pushing you in your wheelchair to the square to bask in the sun, and I'll be happily dancing with the other little old men!"
Hearing this, Lu Yuan was furious. He raised his hand, as if to knock Qian Duoduo's head, but in the end he only lightly flicked her smooth forehead, feigning anger, and said, "Hmph! Dream on! I won't give you that chance! No matter what, I will always be with you, protect you, and I will never let you have the opportunity to dance with someone else!"
Qian Duoduo gazed at Lu Yuan with a smile, her eyes as gentle and warm as the spring sun. She parted her lips slightly, slowly leaning closer to Lu Yuan's face, and lightly kissed his cheek, like a dragonfly skimming the water. In that instant, Lu Yuan's previously tense face blossomed into a sweet smile, like a flower touched by a spring breeze.
After leaving Qian Duoduo's house, Lai Dajiang hurriedly returned to his office. He was completely unaware that a covert investigation targeting him had already begun. Back in his office, Lai Dajiang unhesitatingly picked up the phone on his desk and dialed Vice Governor Liu's number. Once the call connected, he eagerly gave Vice Governor Liu a detailed report of everything that had happened that day, his words laced with undisguised abuse towards Qian Duoduo.
To Lai Dajiang's surprise, Vice Governor Liu on the other end of the phone simply replied, "Understood," and then abruptly hung up. This unexpected response left Lai Dajiang stunned, filled with doubt: What was going on?
The next morning, the sky was overcast, with thick, dark clouds covering the entire horizon as if they had been soaked in ink.
Qian Duoduo stood by the window, gazing at the gloomy sky outside, her brows furrowed slightly. She turned to Abiao beside her and said with concern, "It looks like it could rain at any moment. Remember to prepare several umbrellas, and make sure the elderly and children don't get wet."
Ah Biao nodded in agreement and then turned to leave to make arrangements.
Seeing this, Liu Yuan walked shyly to Qian Duoduo's side and said softly, "Duoduo, you are so thoughtful. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have thought of so many details."
Qian Duoduo said with a big smile, "Oh, what are you saying? What kind of relationship do we have? There's no need to be so polite! Besides, you know I have four kids, and your mother-in-law went to great lengths to make a quilt from a hundred families for each of them. Her kindness is so deep, it would be really inappropriate for me not to arrange for someone to pick them up at the station!" After saying that, she gently patted Liu Yuan's shoulder.
Liu Yuan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and replied, "Haha, yes, but when my son was born, didn't you also specially send money for his full moon celebration?"
Qian Duoduo smiled and waved her hand, then said, "It's only right! After all, the more we visit and keep in touch, the deeper our relationship will become! Only by treating each other sincerely can we gain true friendship and affection!"
Liu Yuan nodded in deep agreement and replied, "Yes, you're absolutely right. It truly is a case of sincerity begetting sincerity!"
At this moment, Qian Duoduo warmly took Liu Yuan's hand and said kindly, "Come, come, sit down and rest for a while. I've already asked Abiao to book two rooms at the guesthouse where you're staying. After they come back, you can put your luggage away and have a good rest. Then, I'd like to invite Uncle, Aunt, and Xiao Heng to try some of our Guangdong specialty tea and snacks. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan looked embarrassed and quickly declined, saying, "Oh, I can't accept this, it's too much trouble for you!"
Qian Duoduo said to Liu Yuan, "I think your husband Lu is really good to you, otherwise he wouldn't have made your grandparents make such a trip. Let me tell you, your husband Lu is just a deputy captain of a transportation team back in his hometown. With his abilities, he shouldn't be only at this level!"
Liu Yuan sighed and said, "My husband, Lao Lu, is a very competitive person. He was parachuted into the transport team, and no one was very resentful of him. Over the years, he has built up his own group of subordinates and is now competing with the original captain, but I don't think this is what he wants."
