Six years after Long Lanxi's birth, Long Hongwen married a woman from the Gu family, a long-time friend of the Long family.
Long Yunting returned from his mission just in time to attend their wedding.
He missed the wedding when Long Lannuo got married.
Before Long Hongwen, Long Yucheng had also gotten married. Both he and his wife worked in the aerospace industry, and they went back to their hometown after getting married.
The children in the family got married one after another.
The population is also increasing.
It became more lively than usual.
Old Master Long simply had someone take over the adjacent courtyard and connect it to the main building.
The house has expanded and is now more spacious.
With four generations living under one roof, Old Master Long's mood improves day by day with so many people accompanying him.
Why didn't you bring your son?
"That kid is too noisy."
That evening, Sheng Qian was led out by Long Yunting, and the two planned to have a meal together alone outside.
Sheng Qian laughed upon hearing this, "Don't say that, he's our son."
"Our son shouldn't interfere with our time alone together."
Long Yunting held Sheng Qian's hand tightly. He hadn't seen Sheng Qian for many days and missed her terribly.
Of course, they couldn't let their family members ruin their plans.
“I’ve already told Grandpa that we’ll be staying in the outer courtyard tonight,” Long Yunting said, his gaze fixed on Sheng Qian.
Sheng Qian spat at him, "You lecher."
"Qianqian, you'll get anxious if I get serious."
"We're not here to eat, let's go." Sheng Qian couldn't stand him looking at her like that.
Long Yunting is no longer almost mute like before; his face has softened considerably, and he can even crack a little joke now and then, showing a bit of humor.
Sheng Qian was also very happy about Long Yunting's change.
Of course, in front of others, he is still that cold and aloof person.
The two chose a place to eat and also ordered drinks.
"Sister, brother-in-law."
Sheng Guanhua's voice instantly ruined the atmosphere between the two.
Long Yunting abandoned his gentle demeanor and frowned as he looked at Sheng Guanhua.
Sheng Guanhua's lips twitched. Had he disturbed them?
Since we'd already called for help, we had to bite the bullet and come over.
"Are you still out doing business so late?"
“It wasn’t for business. Zhou Shi and I went out to eat, and he paid the bill,” Sheng Guanhua glanced at Long Yunting and asked Sheng Qian, “Sister, when are you going back to Wutong Village?”
"What? Your parents called you? Are they pressuring you to get married again?" Sheng Qian looked at him amusedly.
Sheng Guanhua felt a little embarrassed and awkward. "Sister, please don't say anything more. I still have a headache."
"After all these years, I still haven't found someone I like?"
“I’ve been working hard to build my career since I graduated, so I don’t have time to think about these things. My parents said if I don’t find someone this year, they’ll come to Beijing to find me. Sister, you have to help me.”
"You're not getting any younger, it's time to think about marriage."
Sheng Guanhua said with a mournful face, "Sister, please stop making things worse."
"How could I be causing trouble? I'm just reminding you."
"Sis, call Mom and Dad and ask them to postpone it for me for a few more years..."
“In a few years you’ll be in your thirties, do you think Mom and Dad will listen to me then?” Sheng Qian waved her hand. “Don’t bother me with this. I’m on a date with your brother-in-law right now. The family has been giving you a break for so many years, that’s more than enough. Don’t push your luck.”
Sheng Guanhua was about to cry.
"Then I won't disturb your date."
"Guanhua!"
Zhou Shi happened to walk over and, seeing the two of them, also asked them a question.
Seeing the two tall young people standing together, Sheng Qian felt gratified. "Zhou Shi, is your family pressuring you to get married?"
"Huh?" Zhou Shi murmured softly, his expression darkening. "They have urged me to get married, but I'm still focused on my career and have no plans to get married for the time being."
"Sister, we're leaving now," Sheng Guanhua said, pulling Zhou Shi away to avoid discussing this topic any further.
Sheng Qian shook her head. "Are these two afraid of marriage?"
Long Yunting wasn't interested in whether other people got married or not. He shook Sheng Qian's hand and said, "Focus on your work."
"Pfft," Sheng Qian laughed, "Brother Ting, you're getting more and more likable."
"Yes, it's only right that I try to please you."
Sheng Qian couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
Looking at the increasingly mature and charming man before her, Sheng Qian couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, Ting-ge. I suddenly remembered the moment we first met. At that time, I really wanted to leave your side. Maybe I just stayed because I was overflowing with sympathy."
Upon hearing her words, Long Yunting squeezed her hand: "I'm sorry."
"What's there to apologize for? I took the benefits and then tried to run away. I'm the one who should apologize to you."
"I owe you something by bringing you to my side in this way," and this debt can never be made up for.
Long Yunting felt a pang of pain in his heart as he thought about how Sheng Qian had left his side and how they had each gone their own way in life.
“You have given me so much and helped me so much, Brother Ting. I am truly grateful to God for bringing me here.”
He is too.
He now wished he could present Sheng Qian with all the best things in the world.
"You earned this through your own hard work; I didn't help you at all. Qianqian, we still have a long road ahead of us, and I will never owe you anything again."
They will treat you even better.
Sheng Qian smiled, put her hand down, and raised her glass: "Shall we have a few more drinks?"
"good."
Long Yunting drank cup after cup with Sheng Qian, and the atmosphere between the two was exceptionally good!
