With his daughter in charge of cooking, Gu Tinglin invited the chief of staff to the study to drink Pu'er tea. "Aning is a good cook. We just need to sit and wait for the meal."
The Chief of Staff saw through everything with his eyes and said enviously, "Top-grade Pu'er, this must be a gift from my daughter."
Gu Tinglin smiled, "It's been a long time since we sat down and enjoyed tea leisurely."
The two talked in the study, and Jiang Ning was busy in the kitchen, and soon the meal was ready.
A simple meal, but one that was thoughtfully prepared.
The chief of staff of the department is from Hunan Province. Jiang Ning specially made blood duck with plenty of chili peppers, ginger and garlic, and the taste is extremely overbearing.
It’s really nothing to say. The Chief of Staff hasn’t eaten it for a long time. He started drooling when he smelled it.
No wonder Mr. Gu is so contented with his daughter, because his daughter not only helps him in reviving Chinese civilization, but also has impeccable cooking skills.
This meal tasted much better than the reception banquet, and it fully took the taste of the chief of staff into consideration, which shows that Jiang Ning was extremely attentive.
The Chief of Staff was very satisfied with the meal and couldn't help but sigh again what Huacheng had lost because of her departure.
Thinking of the fire boxes piled on the transport ship, he couldn't help but speak again, "Old Gu, does our previous agreement still count?"
Gu Tinglin pretended to be confused, "What agreement?"
Chief of Staff Si was not going to let him go, "We both have daughters, and Si Min is gone..."
Thinking of his daughter, he suddenly choked up and couldn't continue.
Gu Tinglin sighed and turned to look at Jiang Ning, "Aning, your uncle Si and I made an agreement that if I get married and have children one day, we will recognize each other as godparents if they are of the same sex. Are you willing?"
At that time, he had just broken up with Song Yaling and was deeply in pain from the loss of his child and his lover. He had not considered getting married in the future, let alone having children, so he agreed without thinking.
It was just a joke, but now the chief of staff is demanding its fulfillment.
Gu Tinglin gave the choice to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning poured a glass of wine and handed it over without saying anything. "Godfather, I hope you can live a long life, and that Huacheng and Fengcheng will flourish together."
The Chief of Staff was stunned. He didn't expect her to be so straightforward.
He took the glass and drank it all in one gulp, "Okay, okay, from today on I have another daughter."
Gu Tinglin also raised his glass, "Old Si, Aning has a reckless personality, so it's inevitable that she may not do things well. I hope you can take care of her more in the future."
The atmosphere at the dinner table became lively and the meal lasted for more than an hour.
Both of them were very happy, but they couldn't help feeling sad as they were about to part.
Natural disasters and the end of the world are unpredictable. The two cities are thousands of miles apart, and no one knows whether they will have the chance to meet again in this life.
We chatted happily over one cup after another, feeling a little tipsy.
The person who came to pick up Chief of Staff Si arrived. Gu Tinglin was a little drunk and said, "Aning, see your Uncle Si off."
Jiang Ning cleaned up the table and carried a gift bag to see Chief of Staff out.
There was wind at the gate of the compound, and the drunkenness of Chief of Staff Si was dissipated. He looked at her with a serious look, "Aning, if you have the opportunity to choose again, and all the things you are worried about do not exist, will you stay in Huacheng?"
Jiang Ning already had the answer in his mind, "Uncle Si, no matter where you go, as long as you have roots in your heart, what you produce is the fruit of China. Wouldn't it be more brilliant if the stars set the prairie ablaze?"
They both knew that the recognition of relatives at the dinner table was just a bargaining chip.
The Chief of Staff Si represents Huacheng and has come all the way here to fight for his own interests, and it would be beneficial for her to have this identity.
Hearing his answer, Chief of Staff Si felt regretful, but did not force it.
"We will leave Fengcheng tomorrow. I hope we will have a chance to meet again."
The chief of staff looked at Jiang Ning, his serious expression showing a hint of tenderness. "The road you have chosen is not easy to walk. Be careful of the thorns and storms on the road."
Jiang Ning understood the hidden meaning in his words, "Thank you, the rainbow after the wind and rain will be more beautiful."
After watching him leave, she turned back.
Gu Tinglin changed his slightly drunken state and sat relaxed, "Has your uncle Si left?"
Jiang Ning nodded, "You asked me to send him off specifically to give him a chance to ask?"
"It's not easy for your uncle Si. Since you have come from afar, try not to leave with a knot in your heart."
Jiang Ning didn't think so, "I don't think Uncle Si will let you go easily."
It is not so easy to get rid of someone who can sit in the position of the big boss of Huacheng’s military. If Fengcheng does not want to belong to Huacheng, it must be prepared to be bitten hard.
Gu Tinglin was very satisfied with her delicacy, "Aning, you have really grown up."
He had already seen through the Chief of Staff's tricks long before he asked to adopt Jiang Ning as his goddaughter.
He has the generosity to tolerate others, as long as they don't go too far.
At night, Doudou came back under the moonlight and looked up to see the sky full of scattered stars, shining brightly like gems.
Qin Mu sent her back.
They had been apart for too long and together for too short a time, and neither of them knew what to say.
Unlike when I was young, I don’t have so many worries and concerns.
Qin Mu took a deep breath, but was still so nervous that his palms were sweating.
We were already walking very slowly, but the way back was so short.
I'm leaving tomorrow, and if I don't say something, I may never have the chance to say it again.
He wiped the sweat from his palms and suddenly grabbed Doudou's wrist.
Doudou reacted instinctively and threw him over his shoulder.
Qin Mu reacted quickly, and although he was a little embarrassed, he still managed to avoid it.
Whether in childhood or now, although Doudou has a soft and cute face, it is actually a false appearance. She is so strong that people find her scary.
This was the result of a lot of effort and training by Huo Yishen and Jiang Ning.
But Qin Mu is no longer the weakling he was back then. He has grown up and become an adult.
No matter in the past or now, he always has a mouth, "Doudou, I, I like you."
Doudou's mind went blank.
How to say it, in fact, in her heart, she regarded Qin Mu as a friend, his only friend.
But it doesn't mean I know nothing about the relationship between men and women.
After they met again in Fengcheng, Qin Mu came to see her several times.
Although he didn't say it directly, Doudou was very familiar with the look in his eyes that he inadvertently revealed when looking at her. Her brother couldn't help himself when he was with his sister-in-law.
She vaguely knew what Qin Mu meant.
Under the moonlight, Doudou clenched her fists slightly, and it took her a while to calm down. Her voice was still sweet, "Brother Xiaomu, thank you for your love."
Qin Mu was about to speak, but she said, "But in my heart, you will always be Brother Xiaomu."
The moonlight was dim and I couldn't see his expression clearly.
But mostly it's sad.
Because Doudou had no idea how much effort Qin Mu had put in to fight alongside her.
She is his motivation.
Qin Mu took the initiative to apply to come to Feng City.
This is the best place to find her.
In fact, it succeeded.
When he saw Doudou, he felt like his heart was about to jump out.
When she grew up, she looked exactly like the girl who had appeared in my dreams countless times.
But she calmly rejected him.
"Doudou, why?"
