Chapter 165, the Guarantee...
Chapter 165 Guarantee
"What?" Ling Hao didn't remember where her surname came from for a moment, but after realizing it, she laughed, "Dad, don't worry, if A Yu and I have a child, it will definitely have the surname Ling."
Putting aside the fact that the young master's surname isn't even A-Yu's, she herself has absolutely no desire to have children right now. Perhaps she might change her mind later, but that's a matter for the future; she doesn't want to have children at all right now. She feels she hasn't grown up yet and can't raise a child.
"Really?" Cheng Wen asked with great concern.
"Really." Ling Hao nodded earnestly.
“No, words are no proof.” Cheng Wen turned and walked inside, gesturing for the two of them to come in as well. “It’s better to write it down.” With that, he took out paper and pen from the drawer and quickly wrote out a guarantee. “Come on, Gongzi Yu, right? Sign your name and put your fingerprint on it.”
Cheng Wen was fully prepared, even taking out the inkpad.
Lingzhi, who had just washed her hands and came out, was speechless.
She immediately went over and gave Cheng Wen a slap, "Your daughter's boyfriend just came over, what are you doing now?" Even if you really want to do it, you should wait a little longer.
Gongzi Yu walked over, took the pen from Cheng Wen, and wrote his name on it with somewhat clumsy movements, even pressing his fingerprint on it. "Father-in-law, I'm done."
"Not bad, not bad." Cheng Wen put away the guarantee, then immediately turned hostile and rolled his eyes at Gongzi Yu, "It's not even close to being settled yet, what are you doing calling me father-in-law? Don't you dare call me that."
Gongzi Yu blinked, his eyes full of innocence and his face full of helplessness. "But Ahao has already said that she will have children with me in the future, which means that we will definitely get married in the future. In that case, you will be my father-in-law... But if you don't like that, I can call you Lord Taishan."
He said he wasn't picky about anything and was open to anything.
But Cheng Wen couldn't, "You..."
"Go check your dishes." Lingzhi pulled Cheng Wen aside, telling him to tone it down.
In this house, Lingzhi was the one in charge, so Chengwen could only turn around and go to the kitchen.
"Dear Mom, your precious daughter is back!" Linghao rushed forward and hugged Lingzhi tightly. "Did you miss me?"
"Yes." Lingzhi smiled and patted Linghao on the back. "But it seems my precious daughter is hiding something from me. However, we're still the same as before. You can tell me if you want to, or you can stay silent if you don't want to."
She had always cared deeply for her daughter, Linghao, so how could she not see her daughter's faults? Not only did she notice, but Cheng Wen did too, though he, like her, chose to respect their daughter's wishes. She spoke of it, but he didn't.
Most importantly, their daughter has always had a very good relationship with them and has always been a chatterbox, talking about everything and everything. So it's impossible for her to be in a relationship and not tell them until she's about to bring someone home; that's unthinkable. Therefore, Lingzhi understands that something has probably happened to her daughter. But she respects her daughter's decision; she can choose to speak or not.
"I knew it, it couldn't be hidden forever." Ling chuckled. "But Ayu and I are both hungry, shall we eat first?"
Lingzhi: "..."
Has her daughter gone astray without her knowledge? She's even learned to fish.
Cheng Wen silently served the dishes, only occasionally rolling his eyes at Gongzi Yu.
Seeing that Ling Hao was talking to Ling Zhi, and also because of the elder sister-like aura she exuded, Gongzi Yu refrained from calling her "mother-in-law." Instead, he stood up and silently went to help Cheng Wen serve the dishes. He simply hadn't done these things before; he wasn't stupid, and he could learn after watching for a moment.
Because he knew martial arts, Cheng Wen was quick and steady at handling anything, easily outperforming others.
Cheng Wen: "..."
Wow, that's even more hateful.
However, Cheng Wen quickly changed his opinion of Gongzi Yu, because he discovered that Gongzi Yu, like himself, was a hopeless romantic, and an extreme one at that. In Cheng Wen's view, for a family to be harmonious and for life to be good, then the man had to be a hopeless romantic.
Look at his old classmates—cheating, divorces, lovers turning into enemies. His family is different; they've always been happy and fulfilled, all because he loves his wife so much—he's the epitome of a love-obsessed person. If someone calls him a love-obsessed person, they're actually complimenting him.
However, Cheng Wen also knew that good men like this were extremely rare these days. Many men were too arrogant, having nothing yet worrying that others were after their money—it was all bad. In that sense, Gongzi Yu wasn't bad. He signed the guarantee decisively, and he took care of his daughter throughout the meal. He'd barely get a 70 out of 100. As for a perfect 100, that was definitely only for him; no one else deserved it.
After dinner, the four of them moved to the study. This was Lingzhi's study; although she didn't bring her documents back to work, it was more suitable to be in the study than the living room if guests came to visit. Now, however, it was used to entertain her daughter's boyfriend.
Lingzhi asked, "So, you can tell me now, right?"
"Of course." Ling Hao turned to look at Gongzi Yu, "Yu, show your future in-laws your kung fu."
"Hmm?" Gongzi Yu was taken aback. "What do you think?"
Ling chuckled and immediately struck out with a palm towards Gongzi Yu. He caught her attack, twisted her hand behind her back, and then, with his other hand, moved like lightning towards her other hand, all to subdue her.
He tried to subdue her, but Ling Hao refused to back down. She twisted her body, turning her back to Gongzi Yu, and struck with her elbow, forcing him to release her. The two of them started fighting in this small area, but they didn't seem to remember where they were, and they didn't fight freely.
Even so, their moves were fierce, seemingly designed to kill. A few minutes later, they all stopped.
"You guys..." Cheng Wen felt like his jaw was about to drop to the ground. "Wait, Hao, when did you become a Wuying-level athlete? You didn't even tell us."
"It all started with our family's heirloom round pendant." Ling Hao took the pendant off her body. "Don't let its current dusty appearance fool you, it's our family's heirloom round pendant. The reason it looks like this is because I traveled through time, and it took me with it."
She recounted how she had transmigrated, become Feng Qingyang's disciple, and everything that happened afterward. Linghao never hid anything from her parents. "Then I brought Ayu back." She didn't mention that she had returned and then gone back again before bringing Ayu with her.
“No wonder,” Cheng Wen suddenly realized. “I always thought that the surname ‘Gongzi’ sounded too much like a martial arts novel. It turns out you really do come from the world of martial arts novels.” He looked Gongzi Yu up and down, finding it unbelievable.
Gongzi Yu smiled, appearing utterly gentle. If the martial artists he had tormented were to see this, they would surely go mad. He alone had thrown the entire martial world into chaos; now he was feigning gentleness—it would be strange if they didn't.
Lingzhi was also somewhat incredulous, but she didn't care too much about it. What she cared about was something else: "Ah Hao, you've been wronged."
The thought of her precious daughter waking up in a completely unfamiliar place filled her with apprehension. Although she wasn't showing it, it was simply because she didn't want her parents to worry. And then there was learning martial arts—it sounded appealing, but everyone knew how arduous it was.
And then there's that so-called "jianghu" (江湖, a world of martial arts and chivalry), just hearing the name makes me worry. A world where heroes break the law with their martial arts—that kind of world wouldn't be easy for my daughter, who grew up in a society governed by the rule of law. Thinking about this, Lingzhi felt heartbroken for her daughter.
Ling Hao paused for a moment, then smiled. "Dear Mom, please rest assured, your and Dad's daughter never wrongs herself. Even if she is wronged, she will always get her revenge."
Was it tough? Learning martial arts was truly tough. She trained hard in the coldest winter and hottest summer, never daring to slack off for a single day. It felt like she was living through over a decade of high school. But it wasn't too tough, because her talent was extraordinary, and everything she learned paid off.
Was she wronged? When she felt out of place in that world, Linghao certainly felt wronged. But as she said, she never wronged herself. Although she couldn't change that world, she herself wasn't changed; she remained true to herself, so that wasn't being wronged.
"That's good." Seeing that she wasn't just trying to comfort her, Lingzhi felt relieved.
Cheng Wen was about to say something when someone else spoke first.
"Ah Hao." Gongzi Yu reached out and grasped Ling Hao's hand, his eyes glistening with tears. "It's my fault, Ah Hao, I've made you suffer." If only he had met Ah Hao sooner, then Ah Hao wouldn't have been bullied.
Gongzi Yu had forgotten that no one had ever bullied Ling Hao; she was always the one bullying others. Whoever made her unhappy for a moment, she would make them suffer for a lifetime, without any internal conflict. But that's how loving someone is; you feel sorry for them.
Even if she has everything, he will still cherish her. He wants to give her the best, to give her everything, to protect her, and to love her. Even if she does nothing, just stands there, he will willingly give her everything.
In Gongzi Yu's heart, Linghao is light, the meaning of his entire existence, and the source of all his reason and madness.
Linghao laughed and took his hand in return. "If the people in the Kyoto prison heard you say that, they would definitely cry foul." She had no idea how many people she had sent in there, indirectly or directly, one batch after another.
If they knew someone said she had been wronged, they would definitely be furious and start cursing.
"Why bother with those scum?" Gongzi Yu thought of the Southern King's lineage, and those who came to Mount Hua to clamor for his elimination because he had taken something to give to Ahao—they were all despicable. But it didn't matter; they were all in the underworld now, so there was no need to worry about them anymore.
Seeing this, Lingzhi felt relieved, not expecting her daughter's boyfriend to be so considerate.
But Cheng Wen was different; he looked at Gongzi Yu with wariness in his eyes. In his view, Gongzi Yu possessed a dangerous aura, an aura that he himself had once had.
