Chapter 122: Love Until Old Age (Two Updates in One)

There are people in this world who are clear-headed and know exactly what they want, and there are also people who are ignorant and only have wishful thinking.

After the third day of the first lunar month, Fang Jianping took his son back to Wanling.

Probably because the old man in the family was in a high position and had great power, there was an endless stream of people coming to pay New Year's greetings every day. The father and son could not bear the annoyance, so they simply went back to have some quiet time.

However, not long after they returned to Wanling, Zhao Rong followed with Old Man Zhao.

Privately, Fang Jianping naturally didn't want to have anything to do with his sister-in-law, but when his father-in-law came, he couldn't chase him away, so he could only try to reduce contact with her.

They had originally hoped that Mr. Zhao would finish the acupuncture and send them back early, but it turned out that Doctor Chen had something to do and Jishiditang was closed.

Zhao Rong confidently stated that the scenery of Wanling was good for health, and she wanted to stay here with the old man for a while and wait for Doctor Chen to return.

Fang Jianping was worried and couldn't speak too lightly or too harshly, which made him very distressed. He stayed in the office until after eleven o'clock at night before going home. As soon as he tiptoed to open the door with his key, he saw Zhao Rong standing in the living room in silk pajamas, smiling.

She said in a sweet voice, "Brother-in-law, why are you so busy and come home so late again? Work is important, but you have to take care of your body."

Fang Jianping coughed twice, lowered his eyes and didn't look at her, pretending to be calm:

"It can't be helped. I have to do my job well since I'm in this position. How's Dad today? Did you sleep?"

Zhao Rong was in a good mood and said, "Doctor Chen's medical skills are really good. Although Dad is not very mobile now, his sleep and diet are good. He went to bed around 9:30 tonight."

Fang Jianping nodded and said gently, "As long as the old man feels well, that's all. Well, if you have nothing else to do, go to bed early. It's tiring to take care of an old man."

Zhao Rong thought Fang Jianping was concerned about her, and her expression became more and more shy. She said in a pinched voice, "Brother-in-law, you must be hungry after being so busy. We made dumplings at home. I'll cook some for you to fill your stomach."

Fang Jianping wanted to refuse, but his stomach growled. Zhao Rong didn't give him a chance to refuse. She turned around and went to the refrigerator to get dumplings, and reminded him, "Brother-in-law, go take a shower first, and you can eat dumplings when you come out..."

Fang Jianping got goosebumps when he heard what she said. He was ruthless and decisive at work and never cared about women, but he just couldn't be cruel to his family. Zhao Rong's face had 50% of the shadow of his deceased wife, and he could sometimes be fragile and confused.

Fang Jianping glanced at the kitchen, then went back to his room expressionlessly to get clothes and take a shower. He lingered in the bathroom for a while, and when he came out after getting dressed, Zhao Rong had already brought the dumplings to the table.

She smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, come and eat dumplings. I have prepared the vinegar dish for you."

Fang Jianping paused slightly, then dragged his heavy feet to the dining table and sat down.

He ate the dumplings in silence with his chopsticks in hand, while Zhao Rong held her chin and looked at him blankly. After a while, she said in a low voice: "I can't believe it. My sister has been gone for more than ten years, and Mingxu is almost a grown man."

When it's late at night and everyone is asleep, people are always particularly vulnerable. He felt bad when he mentioned his late wife Fang Jianping. He just hummed and said nothing more.

Seeing that he looked calm, Zhao Rong tried again, "You have been single for so many years, and you have a deep affection for your sister. You have to let go of the dead, and you have to think more about your happy life in the second half of your life."

Fang Jianping remained expressionless and silent. Ever since Zhao Rong divorced her ex-husband, she had set her sights on her brother-in-law.

Fang Jianping is not too old. He has an elegant appearance, a prominent family background, and a bright political future. There is no comparison between him and Zhao Rong's ex-husband.

She had only hinted at it vaguely before, but the atmosphere tonight was just right, and everyone in the family was asleep, so it was a good time to talk it out completely. Zhao Rong had no concept of being reserved, and she believed that she had to fight for what she wanted.

Seeing Fang Jianping didn't say anything, she continued, "Brother-in-law, you should be able to see how I feel about you, and I don't want to hide it anymore. Let's just live a good life together. It will be good for Mingxu to have someone who understands you and takes care of you when you come back. What do you think?"

Fang Jianping stuffed the last dumpling into his mouth and said in a steady voice, "I don't agree with this. If you want to remarry, find someone else. My mind is on work and Mingxu, and I don't want to be distracted."

The expression on Zhao Rong's face became a little uncomfortable, and she asked dissatisfiedly:
"Being with me won't affect your work. I'm Mingxu's biological aunt, so how could I treat him badly? You're just making excuses. In your mind, I'm not as good as my sister, right?"

Fang Jianping calmly explained: "It's not that you are not as good as your sister, but in my heart, no one can compare to her. I will only be with her in this life. If she dies, I will guard our son. I have no other thoughts."

Zhao Rong could no longer maintain her composure. She angrily said, "How am I inferior to her? She's dead, but you're still thinking about her so much. Can't you turn around and look at me?"

Fang Jianping said without hesitation: "If you want to stay here with Dad for a while, I have no objection. Just don't set your sights on me. And don't interfere in Mingxu's affairs. He doesn't need anyone to teach him."

After he finished speaking, he wiped his mouth and left. He didn't care about Zhao Rong's feelings at all and let her break down. Seeing Fang Jianping's door closed, Zhao Rong stomped her feet with a distorted face. She didn't dare to make too much noise and make people laugh at her, so she could only return to her room angrily.

Fang Mingxu, who had been hiding and peeping through the crack of the door, closed the door quietly. He lay down on the bed in the dark, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Unable to bear the inner torture, he sat up, took out his cell phone from the bedside table and called Huai Xi.

The busy phone next to her ear rang for half a minute before someone answered. Huai Xi had just fallen asleep when she growled angrily, "Fang Mingxu, are you sick? Why are you calling me so late at night?"

Fang Mingxu had already gotten used to Huaixi's impoliteness towards him, and did not take her anger to heart. He said in a depressed mood: "If your parents were divorced, would you encourage them to remarry?"

Huai Xi paused for a moment, and said indifferently, "Why, is your father going to remarry?"

Fang Mingxu shook his head and said helplessly, "It's not that he wants to remarry. My aunt confessed to him and he refused. But I saw that his eyes were lonely and empty, so I was struggling whether to encourage him to start a new relationship."

Huai Xi yawned and said with a heavy nasal voice:
"Do you think he won't be lonely if he remarries? Love is a luxury. It's so difficult to find someone who resonates with you. In the end, everyone lives alone. You'd better stop wasting time."

Fang Mingxu said in confusion: "Is that true? Although my aunt has defects, she said that it would be great if my dad could have someone who understands his feelings when he returns home. This is something I am happy to see."

Huai Xi sighed and said, "If you like to cause trouble for yourself, then go ahead. Anyway, your father is rich in spirit and will definitely not agree."

Fang Mingxu half-believed and half-doubted: "Why are you so sure?"

Huai Xi sneered, "With your father's status and position, if he wanted to remarry, he would have married someone home long ago. Why would he need you to arrange it?"

This is true. His father is still very competitive in the marriage market.

Fang Mingxu was not stubborn, he just cared too much about his father. Huaixi's words made him completely sober. His father was mostly focused on work and couldn't even take care of him. Remarrying would be more troublesome. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "You are right, I took it for granted. I will be more filial to him in the future and will not let him be alone..."

He paused after he finished speaking, waiting for Huai Xi to reply. After waiting for a long time without hearing any response, he lowered his voice and asked, "Did you hear what I said?"

There was still no sound on the other end of the phone. Fang Mingxu put his ear close to the phone and listened carefully. He could only hear light and regular breathing. He shook his head and laughed. Huaixi must have fallen asleep...

He had been unable to fall asleep before, and now, listening to her breathing, his eyelids felt unusually heavy. Fang Mingxu hung up the call, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep...

Since Ruogu was not with Huaixi, she would inevitably miss her. She took some time to call her daughter. Knowing that she was having a good time with Sister Yang and the others, she felt relieved.

On the first night of staying in the villa, Yu Yuan replaced the bed sheets and quilt covers with those he brought from home and decorated the room to look familiar to Ruogu. She lay on the bed, smelling Yu Yuan's scent, and slept quite soundly.

When the two of them went out for a walk, they heard nearby residents say that the sunrise on the cliff on the mountain was very beautiful. Ruogu had never seen it before. Yu Yuan saw the longing in her eyes and kept it in mind.

He greeted the cameraman who was filming them privately, quietly set the alarm before going to bed, and then fell asleep with Ruogu in his arms.

Yu Yuan fell asleep quickly. When the alarm rang in the early morning, he opened his eyes. He got up quietly, changed his clothes and washed up, then lay down beside the bed and called softly, "Agu~get up and take you to see the sunrise..."

Ruogu opened his eyes dazedly and asked in a muffled voice, "What did you say?"

She lost her shrewdness and competence, and her eyes were pure. Yu Yuan stroked her hair lovingly and said in a gentle voice: "Don't you want to watch the sunrise? Now is a good time to go over."

Ruogu's mind gradually became clear, and she sat up and said happily, "Do you really want to accompany me to watch the sunrise?"

Yu Yuan looked at his watch and said with a smile, "If you're not ready to leave, I'll leave by myself."

Ruogu immediately lifted the quilt and said quickly, "Wait a moment, I'll be there in a moment."

She was not like other women who had to put on exquisite makeup when going out to buy groceries. Ruogu changed into casual clothes, brushed her teeth and washed her face quickly, then put her hair up high, put on sneakers and set off.

Yu Yuan took out the backpack he had prepared long ago, which contained water and the items that Ruogu needed. The couple walked out of the villa lightly without disturbing anyone.

As soon as they came out, the camera was pointed at Ruogu's fresh and refined face. She waved in a good mood and asked with a smile: "Will anyone watch the live broadcast so early?"

She was asking Yu Yuan behind her. He followed behind her slowly and said gently, "There should be people watching. It's common for young people to stay up late now. Whether there is anyone watching or not, it won't affect our watching the sunrise."

After he finished speaking, he quickly stepped forward and held Ruogu's hand. Ruogu said in a light voice, "Then you shouldn't disturb Xiaogao's sleep. He could have slept a few more hours."

The cameraman Xiao Gao said honestly: "It's okay, I went to bed early last night and I got enough sleep."

While the three of them were chatting, the number of people in the live broadcast room was increasing.

"Isn't Yu Yuan the cold-faced king? How could he do such a thing as taking his wife to watch the sunrise?"

"When the camera captured Actor Yu, I thought I was seeing things. He was the least talkative male guest, but he did something so great without saying a word."

"When the movie emperor's wife's stunning face came in front of the camera, I felt my heartbeat quicken. I, a woman, am about to be turned into a lesbian by her..."

"I can understand why Actor Yu is so determined. Chen Ruogu's face is so attractive that you never get tired of looking at it. The more you look at it, the more beautiful it becomes."

Yu Yuan didn’t care what the audience said before the live broadcast. He called Xiao Gao over just to record the couple’s little romance.

According to the recommendation of the locals, Yu Yuan took Ruogu straight to the destination. Ruogu had practiced health preservation techniques diligently, so his physical fitness was very good. Although he was sweating, he still had the strength to continue climbing.

Yu Yuan hasn't had any high-intensity work recently, and he has a regular diet and goes to the gym for strength training from time to time, so his physical fitness is also very good. The two of them moved so fast that the girl in high heels found it a little strenuous.

When they finally stood on the edge of the cliff and watched the sunrise, the sky was like a blaze of fire. The brilliant sunlight shone through the clouds, casting golden light, gradually rendering the sky poetic and picturesque...

Ruogu was deeply shocked. She felt not only the beauty of the sunrise, but also the surging and passion of life. She was extremely grateful that she was still alive...

Yu Yuan was also deeply moved by the beautiful scenery. He couldn't help but hold Ruogu in his arms and whispered softly in her ear: "Thank you for not leaving me..."

Ruogu was slightly stunned when she heard this. She turned her head to look at Yu Yuan and said softly, "Even if my love is not as strong as before, do you mind?"

Yu Yuan smiled and shook his head. If he were a few years younger, he might still be more serious. After experiencing so much, it was enough for him as long as the person was still around.

He kissed her lightly on the top of her head and whispered, "I can love you more, love you until you get used to my company, love you until you can't live without me, love you until you are old and gray..."

Ruogu wanted to say that she was mentally independent and would never rely too much on anyone, but in this situation it was not appropriate to say something that would spoil the fun. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said in a light voice, "Then you have to work harder..."

Yu Yuan smiled contentedly and held her tighter with his arms...

At this time, the number of people in the live broadcast room has exceeded 10, and the barrage of comments is flying by quickly~
"Can a middle-aged couple still be so loving? I didn't expect Yu Yuan is not only good at acting, but also good at dating..."

"Yu Yuan must be madly in love with his wife, his eyes are so gentle that they almost melted into water."

"It's a pity that I can't hear what they are saying. I can't imagine Yu Yuan saying dirty words."

"After watching this live broadcast, looking back at Yu Yuan's emotional scenes, there is simply no comparison."

No matter how noisy it was on the Internet, they were not affected. Before other guests got up, Yu Yuan quietly made it to the hot search list.

Although Xiao Gao was yawning after being fed a mouthful of dog food, he was still very happy when he saw the dazzling barrage of comments above the video and the ever-increasing number of people watching.

He didn't rush the two of them. They had just consumed too much energy and it was a good time to take a break.

Yu Yuan didn't stay in the water for too long. He was worried that Ruogu would be hungry, so he let her go and asked her what she wanted to eat for breakfast while leading her down the mountain.
