Chapter 838 Ranbao extra (11)
Kong Ran, standing beside him, patted Murong Chen on the shoulder with a laugh: "Haha, little brother, Dad has been biased for so many years, and you still haven't gotten used to it?"
Murong Chen immediately complained to Kong Wange: "Mom, look at my sister, she got the benefit and is still acting innocent!"
Kong Wan's mung bean soup had already been taken by Kong Chi. She smiled and pointed at Kong Ran and Murong Chen, saying, "You two are good at bickering. When are you going to learn from Xiao Chi?"
Murong Chen immediately rushed over: "Brother Chi, let me handle this!"
Kong Ran also ran over in a few steps: "Brother Chi, let Brother Chen do it!"
Watching the three children playfully wrestle and go outside, Kong Wange smiled helplessly: "You know, they're all in their twenties, but they still look like they're five or six years old and haven't grown up yet."
Murong Ting, who was standing next to him, chuckled and said, "Isn't this good? Do you really want all our children to be prematurely aged?"
“Not really…” Kong Wange stood next to Murong Ting: “It just feels like time has flown by.”
In the blink of an eye, the three little ones have grown up, some going to university and others getting jobs.
And both of them were actually over forty years old.
Murong Ting noticed Kong Wange's sentiments, put down his work, and pulled her into his arms: "Time flies, but there are advantages to it. In the past, who would have dared to dream of such a carefree life?"
Kong Wange laughed and nudged him, saying, "I've never seen a father like you. We're all relaxed, but the kids are the ones who are suffering."
Since the beginning of this year, Murong Ting has handed over most of the company's work to Kong Chi. Although Murong Chen works at the Municipal Bureau, he occasionally helps out with advice when he sees his brother is too busy. Kong Wange's several clinics have also been handed over to Kong Ran to manage, so that she can use them to practice.
To some extent, their lives have become much easier as the children have grown up.
After the Chinese New Year this year, the two of them flew to Northern Europe to see the Northern Lights. Because they liked the relaxed and leisurely atmosphere of Finland, they stayed there for half a month.
This was something that would have been absolutely unthinkable in the past.
Murong Ting showed no remorse whatsoever, instead saying naturally, "Young people have things to do, and old people have things to do. If we're getting old and still have to work so hard, what was the point of working so hard when we were young?"
Kong Wange glared at him: "You always have a reason."
Murong Ting smiled and kissed her: "No, only my wife's reasoning is true. My words are just sophistry."
Kong Wange smiled and was about to say something when Kong Ran's voice came from afar: "Mom and Dad, if you two keep being lovey-dovey, your sweet daughter and your dear son will go hungry!"
Kong Wange and Murong Ting: "..."
The two smiled at each other and released each other.
"I'll go add the potatoes to the braised pork. You go ask Ranran if she wants quail eggs!" Murong Ting said with a smile.
...
Seven or eight dishes were served one after another, and Murong Ting took off his apron and sat down with Kong Wange.
Eating at home isn't as formal as in other large families. The five of them sat together very casually, with Kong Wange and Murong Ting in the middle and the others sitting wherever they pleased.
They chatted and ate while eating, occasionally having a few drinks, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere at the table.
Halfway through her meal, Kong Ran's phone rang. She picked it up and glanced at it, only to find that it was a notification that her friend request had been accepted.
She immediately put down her chopsticks, almost shouting out in excitement—Zhong Lin had accepted her friend request!
She didn't even bother to wipe her mouth. She picked up her phone and tapped and swiped at the screen. In the chat box, she typed and deleted a line of text repeatedly.
Murong Ting and Kong Wange sat opposite her, and after seeing her appearance, they exchanged a glance.
While picking up some food, Kong Wange casually asked, "Ranran, are you... in a relationship?"
Kong Ran: "?!"
The phone rang loudly in her head, and she immediately coughed lightly and said, "Who am I dating? I think it's more like Xiao Chen who's dating. I heard he recently got in touch with an old classmate, didn't he?"
Murong Chen was enjoying a piece of pork ribs nearby when, just as he was sitting in his chair, a pot fell from the sky.
He nearly choked on a mouthful of meat, and quickly swallowed several mouthfuls of water to get it down. Turning his head, he glared at Kong Ran: "Sister Ran, you're using me to distract yourself, that's not very ethical!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang.
Kong Ran sat next to him and noticed a WeChat message that had just come in. The sender's nickname was "Little Mianmian".
"Wow, such a sweet name. You don't have to deny it, bro. We all know what's going on." Kong Ran winked at Murong Chen: "When are you bringing your wife home for dinner?"
Murong Chen: "..."
He got up, picked up the phone, and turned to walk out: "Eat, eat, eat. All you ever do is eat. I'm going to make a phone call."
Seeing him leave without looking back, the four people remaining at the table exchanged glances, their eyes all conveying a knowing look.
"Alas, a son grows up and leaves home," Kong Ran sighed deliberately as he put a piece of braised pork into his mouth.
Kong Wange, sitting across from her, was both amused and exasperated. She lightly tapped her head with the spoon beside her: "Don't think that just because Xiao Chen is in trouble, we won't hold you accountable. Who were you texting while you were fiddling with your phone?"
Kong Ran: "..."
Sensing something was wrong, she quickly stood up, wiped her mouth hastily, and chuckled, "Mom and Dad, I'm done eating. I'm going back to my room now. You two enjoy your meal!"
After saying that, she slipped away as fast as she could, so fast that Kong Wange couldn't stop her.
Kong Wange was speechless: "This child, how come he's always been like a little mudfish since he was little?"
Kong Chi glanced in the direction Kong Ran had left and sighed, "That's how Sister Ran is when she feels guilty; she hasn't changed it all these years."
With both children gone, Kong Wange turned her attention to Kong Chi: "Chi, it seems Ran and Chen are both in relationships. You're almost that age too. Have you had any recent..."
Kong Chi glanced at Murong Ting and said helplessly, "I would like to have one, but look at all the jobs my dad has assigned me. If I want to date, I can only date while I'm working."
Kong Wange thought about it and realized it made sense. She immediately confronted Murong Ting: "I told you not to pile all the problems on Xiao Chi, but you wouldn't listen. Look what you've done to the child!"
“
Murong Ting, who had been listening intently the whole time, was suddenly called upon and immediately coughed lightly: "Xiao Chi, how about this, if you don't have time to go out and meet girls, I can introduce you to a few nice girls..."
Kong Chi: "?!"
He just said it casually; his dad probably wouldn't have such strong initiative.
