Chapter 167 If
Cheng Wen's expression was somewhat complicated. "I thought..."
“If I can’t even see what my partner looks like, how can I expect people to trust me at work? I’m the youngest and most promising judge, after all,” Lingzhi replied with a smile.
Although she already has a daughter in college, she is indeed quite accomplished at work, given her position.
Cheng Wen's expression became even more complicated. "I was worried that you wouldn't want me anymore, so I kept it a secret." She had a strong sense of justice, and he had always worried that she would leave him if she found out, after all, he wasn't a good person.
Lingzhi laughed again, "Judging by actions, not intentions, there are no gentlemen in the world when it comes to intentions. You only think about it, but you haven't taken any action, so why would I not want you?" Although she was indeed shocked for a long time after learning that Cheng Wen had once thought of using various means to deal with her ex-boyfriend.
But after she came to her senses, she realized it wasn't entirely unacceptable. Cheng Wen had only ever thought about it; he'd never actually done it. In fact, because of her, he was more law-abiding than anyone else. Given that, how could she possibly leave him?
Cheng Wen took two steps forward and hugged Ling Zhi tightly, murmuring, "That's wonderful, truly wonderful." For so many years, he had been worried, worried that he would be abandoned, worried that he would lose her. Even in the dead of night, he had wondered if it was all just a dream.
I didn't expect that she had actually discovered it a long time ago, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. That's wonderful, really wonderful.
Lingzhi patted Cheng Wen's back with a touch of heartache. "If I had known you were so worried, I would have talked to you about it sooner." She thought his occasional unease was due to jealousy, but she didn't expect him to still care about this. If she had known, she would have talked to him sooner.
"It's okay." Cheng Wen's face was full of happiness. "I'm already very happy and content." His Lingzhi loved him very much, and that was enough for him.
Lingzhi smiled. So it's no wonder she cares about him; how could she not cherish such passionate and sincere feelings?
So many people in this world never know what true love is. They get married simply because they've found someone who's good in every way, and then they just live together out of convenience. But she met Cheng Wen and received his wholehearted love, so why wouldn't she want it?
She had always thought she was the only one with such good fortune, but she never expected her daughter to be the same. Gongzi Yu, just like her Cheng Wen, was completely obsessed with love. Although he seemed quite dangerous, as long as he obeyed the law in this world, that was enough.
Lingzhi smiled. Although people always say how principled she is, she can actually be flexible, like at this moment.
"A judge?" Gongzi Yu did the math in his head. "Equivalent to a vice minister of the Ministry of Justice?"
"No, not really. The court my mother works for isn't in Beijing." Ling Hao thought for a moment. "But she still has room for advancement; maybe in the future?"
Gongzi Yu said, "My mother-in-law is very capable." After learning how the "government" of this world worked, he knew just how outstanding Lingzhi's achievements were.
“Of course.” Ling Hao’s face was full of pride. “But my mom said that my dad deserves half the credit for her achievements. He’s been taking care of the family and me all these years, which has allowed my mom to devote herself to her work.”
When she was little, all she saw was her busy mother and her father who took care of everything, and she always thought it was normal. Later, when she went to school, she realized that families like hers were relatively rare. Oh, by the way, her first fight was because someone mocked her father as a coward and her mother as a mean-spirited woman.
Linghao hated people like that the most, and immediately started fighting with the other person. She was only eleven years old at the time, still a primary school student, while the other person was already a middle school student. However, she managed to fight him to a draw, although she was bruised and battered, the other person was in much worse shape.
At that time, Linghao was still very dissatisfied. She felt that if she were a martial arts master, she could definitely defeat her opponents and have a better record. It was probably from that time that she really wanted to be a martial arts master.
“Ah Hao.” Gongzi Yu looked at Ling Hao with bright eyes. “I can also be a good wife.”
"Huh?" Ling Hao was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.
“Ah Hao,” Gongzi Yu looked at Ling Hao with a mournful expression, “you don’t believe me.”
“I believe you, really,” Ling Hao quickly reassured him. “It’s just that I don’t think it’s quite right for you.” Have Gongzi Yu be her capable wife? Ah, forget it. She found it very, very strange. “Besides, I don’t plan to follow the path my mother took, so I don’t need a capable wife. What I need is someone to walk alongside me.”
Gongzi Yu immediately said, "Then I am the one who walks alongside Ahao." As he spoke, his eyebrows and eyes sparkled, "Only I can."
"Okay, okay, you're the only one walking beside me." Ling chuckled. "In that case, come with me to see a doctor." She had already made an appointment with a psychologist before she came back, and now it would be just the right time to go.
Yes, she had a very tight schedule. She had just gotten home and was taking Gongzi Yu to see a psychologist. There was no other way; his condition seemed to have worsened. If it weren't for the fact that a very famous psychologist lived nearby, and if it weren't for the fact that the psychologist was only available today, she was even prepared to sneak out of school to take him to see the doctor.
Although I'll lose credits, I can always earn them back. Unfortunately, the psychologist is very famous and his schedule is fully booked; he's only available today.
Gongzi Yu was somewhat reluctant, "Do I really have to see it?"
“Yes.” Ling Hao nodded, her expression serious. “Ayu, we can’t ignore our illness.” His expression and tone just now were clearly Mingyue’s, but he was Ayu now. She was worried that if things continued like this, his condition would only get worse.
Therefore, you must see a psychologist; you cannot skip it.
Gongzi Yu couldn't refuse her, so he could only dejectedly follow her. He thought it was really just to see where Ahao grew up, but it turned out to be to see some kind of psychologist. Hmph, he didn't want to go; he didn't think it would be helpful to him. But he couldn't refuse her, so he had no choice but to agree.
Linghao sighed as she left the psychologist's office.
Gongzi Yu, on the other hand, was all smiles. "I told you it was useless." What kind of psychologist is he? He's completely useless.
Thinking about how the psychologist said that Gongzi Yu had no problems at all, and even suspected that they were there to cause trouble, Ling Hao felt a little discouraged. However, she still didn't give up. "It's okay, I've made appointments with several others. We'll go see them one by one. If all else fails, we can go to Shanghai or Beijing. These two places have good economic development, and the level of psychologists there is definitely higher."
Gongzi Yu wanted to say no, but seeing how concerned Ling Hao was about him, he could only acquiesce. He didn't think he was sick; after all, Gongzi Mingyue was already dead, and he was a normal person now, with no need to see a doctor.
Ah-hao insisted, so he stayed with her.
If Gongzi Yu were to look in the mirror right now, he would see how much his expression resembled Gongzi Mingyue's, except that his eyes still held the unique look of Gongzi Yu. He couldn't see it, but Ling Hao could, so of course she was worried.
However, whenever she had time and opportunity, she took him to see various psychologists. But no matter which psychologist it was, they all said he had no problems, that he was fine, and that he was a very mentally strong person.
After several attempts, Linghao finally gave up and stopped taking him to see the doctor. Actually, judging from Gongzi Yu's frequent expressions and subtle movements, she already had some guesses in her mind.
Even though he no longer needed to see a doctor, Gongzi Yu wasn't completely relieved, because he still had to study. Although he had an identity in this world, he only had a junior high school diploma, meaning he was illiterate. Gongzi Yu couldn't accept this; if he wasn't good enough, he wouldn't be worthy of Ahao.
So he started studying like crazy. First, he got an adult high school diploma, and then he took the adult college entrance exam. No matter what, he had to be worthy of Ah Hao!
Lingzhi admired Gongzi Yu's behavior. Although her family didn't object to his relationship with Linghao, studying was a good thing and deserved encouragement. Besides, Linghao hadn't graduated yet, and both of them were working hard in their studies, which was a good thing.
Ling Hao: "..."
No, she didn't want to study! Despite her inner turmoil, Linghao still had to study hard. If she didn't study and didn't graduate, not only would her parents not be able to bear it, but she herself wouldn't be able to either.
So, after these two returned, the thing they did most was study. Compared to Ling Hao's arduous studies, Gongzi Yu's studies were much easier. He was naturally intelligent, had Cheng Wen as his tutor, and didn't aspire to get into the best university, so it was naturally much easier for him.
So, before Linghao graduated, she welcomed a new junior, a student majoring in archaeology.
"I thought you would choose law." It was only when Gongzi Yu registered that she learned of his chosen major.
Gongzi Yu smiled at her, "Isn't it because someone was worried that I would exploit legal loopholes and become a lawless outlaw, so I chose something else?"
Ling Hao reached out and pinched Gongzi Yu's cheeks, saying, "Say it again?"
Gongzi Yu immediately changed his tune, saying, "I was thinking that archaeology is a relatively simple major, at least for me, so I would have more time to spend with you." He was very dissatisfied with the situation over the past two years because he hadn't spent much time with her.
He felt a little relieved only because he knew they were in the same world, and that her jade pendant was still kept by Lingzhi, so he knew they wouldn't be separated. But in reality, he was still worried, worried that he would be abandoned again.
So he chose archaeology as his major. Other majors would be a bit troublesome for him, but this major would allow him to spend more time with her. When it comes to identifying antiques, he's second to none.
Ling thought he certainly wouldn't lose to anyone else, after all, antiques were his toys since childhood.
