"Lord Xiao once held a very high position in the court, and he was also extremely outstanding!"
Song Lan's expression and tone were both extremely sincere.
"You flatter me, Your Excellency!"
Xiao Yu's lips curled into a very slight smile: "Before I close my eyes, you will always be a hero to all people, and everyone will miss you dearly!"
Upon hearing this, Song Lan looked disappointed, but after a moment, she chuckled and shook her head: "Alright, alright, how did we end up praising each other like this?"
Xiao Yu paused briefly, then coughed twice, covering his mouth with his fist, and said, "Everything I said is true."
"I know, I know!"
Song Lan's eyes and brows were full of smiles.
Looking at her like this, Xiao Yu felt his face flush. He didn't know how to respond, so he could only make conversation by saying, "Comrade Qin cares about you a lot!"
"Um?"
Song Lan did not understand what he meant.
"It only takes a few minutes for the Chen family to get to my house, and we all live in the same compound, so there's definitely no problem with their safety."
Hearing Xiao Yu say that, Song Lan couldn't help but laugh, but she quickly cleared her throat and said, "He really cares about me, but he came along mainly because he was worried that the five little kids would run around."
"I'm afraid you'll get tired."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Xiao Yu felt a little sour.
Well, actually, when he said that first sentence, it was already as sour as sitting under a lemon tree.
However, Song Lan didn't think much of it. A faint smile appeared on her lips: "Perhaps." If the five little kids really ran around, she couldn't possibly chase after them all by herself.
"Do you want to find Chenchen a new mother?"
Upon hearing Song Lan's sudden question, Xiao Yu's expression froze for a moment. After a brief pause, he shook his head and said, "No, I can take care of it."
"What you are giving is fatherly love, but fatherly love and motherly love are ultimately different."
Song Lan's voice was gentle, and her bright eyes showed concern: "Besides, you can't stay single forever. When your child grows up and has his own family, you'll be all alone, and it won't be convenient for you to find someone to talk to."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu did not respond. Instead, he said, "Let's set a date later and have Chenchen properly acknowledge you as her godmother, Lord Marquis!"
"ah?"
Song Lan was stunned.
"Chenchen likes you a lot, you know that!"
Xiao Yu's expression was very serious: "With you as her godmother, Chenchen will not lack maternal love."
Coming to her senses, Song Lan couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You actually believe me!"
"I believe in you as I believe in myself."
Xiao Yu's expression involuntarily turned somewhat wistful as he recalled the past, including his interactions with Song Lan in the original world.
After not hearing him speak again for a while, Song Lan said, "Okay, let's set the date for the weekend in two weeks, what do you think?" Since she was going to formally recognize her godson, she naturally had to make good preparations, so the date couldn't be too close to home.
"I'll listen to you. I'll tell the elders in my family in a bit."
Xiao Yu's expression returned to normal: "Chenchen will definitely be very happy!"
"I'm very happy too!"
Soon we will officially have another son, which is a joyous occasion.
I'm sure Da Bao and the others will be just as happy.
"You've been back in Beijing for quite some time now, has Chen Shu come to visit Chenchen yet?"
Song Lan suddenly thought of Chen Shu, which is why she couldn't help but ask Xiao Yu.
"No."
Xiao Yu shook his head, his face expressionless, and said, "No one in the family mentions her in front of Chenchen, and Chenchen himself has never asked for a mother... But I can see that when he sees other children being held or led by their mothers, his eyes show envy."
"Chenchen is a sensible and good child. That's why he's even more heartbreaking. Spend more time with him when you don't have classes on weekdays, and take him out more often on weekends or holidays."
Of course, you're always welcome at my home!
As she continued, Song Lan's tone became light and cheerful, and the smile on her face bloomed like a spring flower in an instant.
"good."
Xiao Yu nodded.
Song Lan seemed to be thinking about something, and after a moment of hesitation, she finally spoke: "There's something I should tell you..."
"What?"
Xiao Yu was curious.
"Chen Shu's current husband's family is actually a little bit related to my husband's family."
Song Lan looked a little embarrassed: "To put it this way, my father-in-law and Chen Shu's father-in-law are actually half-brothers. Although my father-in-law has not acknowledged the relationship between the two families, they are both aware of it."
I'm telling you this so you won't misunderstand me later; that's all.
How could I possibly misunderstand you?
Xiao Yu smiled and shook his head. He said, "Even if we were to become a real family, to me, you are you. How could I possibly have a grudge against you because of that woman?"
Besides, I am not him. My only wish in this life is for my elders to live out their old age peacefully, for Chenchen to grow up well, and for him to have a family and a career. I don't care about anything else.
Based on the memories left by the original owner of this body, Xiao Yu was certain of one thing: the other party had no feelings for Chen Shu, the wife who abandoned her husband and children, and therefore no resentment.
Given this, all he hopes for now is to live peacefully with his so-called wife.
"It seems our Lord Xiao is as magnanimous as ever!"
Song Lan smiled and asked, "If you had the chance to go back, what would you do?"
Xiao Yu replied without hesitation, "This place is great!"
Needless to say, his answer couldn't be clearer: he wouldn't consider returning to his original world.
"Yes, it's really nice here... I hope our place can become like this someday!"
Gender equality, people being the masters of their own country, girls and boys having the same access to education, employment, career paths, and many other things...
Human life is no longer as cheap as grass!
Before the law, everyone who breaks the law must accept legal punishment...
"Yes, it will happen sooner or later."
Xiao Yu uttered a soft sentence.
The wheels of history will not stop for anyone, and as the sun and moon turn and the world changes, the era he lives in now will surely come one day in his original world!
"By the way, have you ever thought about starting a new career in politics here?"
Song Lan asked, her bright eyes brimming with curiosity.
There's nothing wrong with teaching and nurturing students.
Moreover, the original owner of this body was engaged in research in his professional field, and had a project approved before his arrival, and had obtained some data in the laboratory.
Recently, he has been thinking about applying to higher authorities to restart the project.
"Then I congratulate you in advance on having students all over the world!"
Song Lan's eyes were sincere. When their eyes met, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Okay, I accept!" Then he asked, "And you? You were the top scorer in the college entrance examination, but you didn't go to university for further studies. Are you planning to dedicate yourself to the medical field?"
"Yes, I want to delve deeper into the medical field."
Song Lan smiled broadly and said, "In addition, I will spend some time standing on the podium like you."
"Lord Marquis is as formidable as ever; I should have known!"
