After finishing her business trip, Qian Duoduo dragged her tired body home. As soon as she entered, she saw Lu Yuan sitting in the living room, along with Lu Jin and his wife and their twins. Seeing the children, Qian Duoduo's mood immediately brightened, and she couldn't wait to play with the two little ones for a while.
However, when she noticed Lu Yuan's somewhat fussy and temperamental nature, she realized that taking care of the children today must have exhausted him. So, Qian Duoduo decided not to disturb him and let him get some rest.
After dinner, Lu Jin and his wife quickly took the children and left. Sitting in the car, Lu Jin and Liu Zitong couldn't help but laugh as they recalled the children's sports meet that day.
Liu Zitong said with a smile, "I really didn't expect Dad to be so amazing! That's 400 meters! It might not be much for young people, but Dad is sixty years old and he can still be in the lead. I really admire him!"
As Lu Jin drove, he kept an eye on the road ahead and listened to his wife's words, replying with a smile, "Dad grew up in a military compound. He wasn't much older than the kids in our family when Great-Grandpa sent him to the army. Back then, he did five-kilometer cross-country training with the soldiers, so this distance is a piece of cake for him!"
Liu Zitong's eyes sparkled like the brightest stars in the night sky. She gazed at Lu Jin with curiosity, then softly asked, "Is your family like this too?" Lu Jin slowly shook her head, replying calmly, "Our family situation is a bit special. When I was little, my father suddenly fell ill and entered a long coma, which lasted for several years. At that time, the entire burden of the family fell on my mother's shoulders. But my mother didn't give up; she always firmly believed that my father would wake up and silently stayed by his side."
Lu Jin paused for a moment, then continued, "In my hazy memory, after Dad woke up, his health was still very poor, and he was in a wheelchair for several years. However, Mom never left him and accompanied him throughout his rehabilitation training. Day after day, year after year, finally, Dad miraculously stood up again." A smile appeared on Lu Jin's face as she said this, "Perhaps it was because of Mom's perseverance and hard work that our family was able to get through that difficult time. Therefore, in our family, Mom has a very high status; if she says one thing, no one dares to say another."
Liu Zitong smiled and nodded, indicating her understanding. "I can feel that my second and third aunts also have great respect for Mom." Lu Jin smiled as well and continued, "Yes, Mom not only has a very high status in our family, but also in the entire clan. You know, Mom is the only one in our family who is in business, and Wanmao Group is now one of the top businesses in China. Although Mom deserves credit for this, the contributions of my uncles are absolutely indispensable."
Lu Jin paused briefly, seemingly recalling her childhood, before continuing, "While the education we received from a young age couldn't be described as elite, it was definitely all-round development. Whether it was academics, sports, or other aspects, we received excellent training, just like well-rounded young people who excel in land, sea, and air."
Liu Zitong smiled and nodded, saying softly, "Yes, my cousins are indeed very capable. I originally thought you were already quite remarkable as a top student from Beijing University, but I didn't expect you to be just as good as them. And now it's time for my uncles to retire."
Lu Jin smiled and replied, "Yes, although my internet company is helpful to Wanmao Group, it is ultimately my personal business. Now that my mother is preparing to retire, she plans to travel the world with my father after she has handed over her work and enjoy a leisurely retirement."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zitong's smile widened even more. She cheerfully said, "When we retire, let's travel around the world like Mom and Dad!"
Lu Jin nodded in agreement. He looked at Liu Zitong gently and said, "Okay, let's go to a beautiful island and stay there for a while to enjoy the sunshine, beaches, and blue sea. Then we can take a spontaneous trip and explore places we've never been before."
As Liu Zitong listened to Lu Jin's description, her heart was filled with anticipation and sweetness. She felt that such a retirement life was truly wonderful.
Lu Yuan pulled Qian Duoduo back to the room, his tall frame standing out prominently beside her. At 1.8 meters tall, he gently rested his head on Qian Duoduo's shoulder, who was only 1.65 meters tall, like a large dog needing comfort.
Lu Yuan's fingers were long and beautiful, and he was currently holding Qian Duoduo's fingers, as if he were telling her his grievances. His voice had a hint of coquetry, making one feel sorry for him: "Honey, I was tormented by those two little devils today! They were like two energetic little demons, constantly pestering me to play this and that. I even ran the 400 meters! To avoid disappointing them, I had to run as fast as I could, and I even came in first place. Can you believe how hard I worked? And, and, they tricked me into buying so many things! Honey, my wallet is empty, all my allowance is gone, I'm so sad!"
As Qian Duoduo listened to Lu Yuan's complaints, felt his small gestures, and heard his large head pleading for comfort, a wave of tenderness washed over her. She felt that Lu Yuan was like a child at that moment, needing her comfort and encouragement.
However, deep down, Qian Duoduo felt a strange urge to laugh. She imagined Lu Yuan being tormented by those two little ones; it must be quite amusing.
Lu Yuan seemed to sense Qian Duoduo's inner joy, and his grievances intensified. In a fit of anger, he picked up Qian Duoduo without saying a word and strode into the bathroom.
As the bathroom door closed, an indescribable sound came from inside. The sound made even the moon, which had just climbed to the treetop, blush slightly, as if it too could sense the ambiguous atmosphere permeating the room.
