Chapter 485 Qian Qian’s Worries
Chen Yuhe looked at Ling Feng, "Is everything alright outside?"
"Yeah, I just sent Zhang He away. The matter is settled!" Ling Feng nodded.
"Then there’s nothing else coming up recently, right?" Chen Yuhe asked.
Ling Feng looked at her and nodded, "There shouldn’t be any issues, no news from the Luo Family yet."
Chen Yuhe let out an "Oh," "That’s great, it’s almost Chinese New Year, I was thinking of going home to have a look."
"Uh..."
Ling Feng knew what she meant; she wanted to visit her parents’ graves before the New Year, so he hesitated for a moment.
Chen Yuhe saw what he was thinking and smiled, "Don’t worry, I’ve come to terms with it, nothing will happen!"
"That’s good, I’ll go with you tomorrow!" Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"Okay."
Chen Yuhe rested her head on his shoulder and whispered, "I’ve gotten used to being here, but after the New Year, I can’t just stay here forever!"
Ling Feng was taken aback, turned to look at her, "Why not stay here?"
"If this goes on, I’ll become useless; I have to do something serious!" Chen Yuhe said softly.
"Serious stuff?"
Ling Feng shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, "We’re not short of money, what do we need to do? Isn’t it good like this?"
"No, that won’t do. Not for anything else, my father’s business can’t be neglected either," Chen Yuhe said.
As she said this, Ling Feng didn’t know what to say to dissuade her. After a moment, he said, "I understand how you feel, okay then, since you think so, I’ll definitely support you fully!"
"Thank you."
Chen Yuhe smiled sweetly and hugged his arm, bringing them even closer together.
Qiao Anran, who had been happily playing with Ya Ya, glanced over unintentionally and immediately drew two lines on her face with her small hands, sticking out her tongue, "Uncle, you two, shy shy shy!"
"You little rascal, don’t talk nonsense! Keep it up, and I’ll send you back!" Ling Feng laughed.
Qiao Anran made a funny face, "Nyah nyah nyah!"
In the midst of laughter and joy, time flew by quickly. Before it seemed long, Zhang Lan and Li Yun arrived at the First Layer of Heaven.
Seeing the two of them, Ling Feng knew it was already afternoon.
As the two approached, he smiled and asked, "How was today?"
"Same as usual, nothing much in the company, nothing at home," Zhang Lan said.
Although she said that, Ling Feng could still see a trace of worry on their faces, so he quickly said, "Don’t worry, everything will get better soon!"
"Was there any news today?" Li Yun couldn’t help asking.
"Not yet, but if there’s any, I’ll go to them immediately!" Ling Feng said.
"Alright."
Li Yun nodded, looking very preoccupied.
Ling Feng didn’t know how to comfort her, so he simply said, "I’ll go home and check, let’s all have dinner together tonight."
"Sure, it’s been a long time since we all had dinner together," Zhang Lan said.
After returning home, Ling Feng first checked his phone, but there were no missed calls or messages, so he shook his head resignedly and turned to the breeding farm.
Li Yumei and Xun Qianqian were preparing dinner. Seeing Ling Feng, they asked with a smile, "What brings you here?"
"Cook a few more dishes tonight, let’s have a lively one. Sister Lan and Li Yun are not in a great mood," Ling Feng said.
"Alright," Li Yumei nodded and opened the freezer.
Meanwhile, Xun Qianqian glanced at Ling Feng, "Are you busy tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?"
Ling Feng was taken aback; he hadn’t forgotten the matter with Chen Yuhe, so he asked, "Something’s up, why do you ask?"
"If you’re busy, forget it, I’m going back home tomorrow!" Xun Qianqian said.
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng was even more bewildered, and asked in confusion, "Why are you suddenly going back home?"
"I’ve been here for quite a while, I need to go back and visit, right? Besides, my parents are back and they’re urging me to return home!" Xun Qianqian explained.
"Oh, then go back for a visit, and then come back here!" Ling Feng suggested.
He hadn’t thought much about it, but seeing Li Yumei casting a glance, appearing as if she wanted to say something but then hesitated, he realized, and asked Xun Qianqian with puzzlement, "Do you want me to go back with you?"
"Well, if you’re not available, it’s okay," Xun Qianqian said.
Clearly sensing something was off, Ling Feng smiled and said, "I’m busy tomorrow, but the day after should be fine. Why don’t you go back the day after tomorrow? It’s not urgent to leave today."
"Then, that works, I’ll give my family a call to let them know!"
Xun Qianqian hesitated for a moment then turned and left the room.
Taking the opportunity, Ling Feng turned to Li Yumei: "What’s up with Qian Qian?"
"Ling Feng, you’re a smart guy, how come you haven’t figured it out?" Li Yumei asked, somewhat speechless.
Ling Feng was a bit baffled: "Figured out what? I don’t understand!"
"Really!"
Li Yumei shook her head helplessly and then explained, "Qian Qian’s parents are home, and since there’s not much to do in winter, they’re planning to arrange a marriage for her. They’ve called her about a dozen times, always nudging her to go back for blind dates!"
"Ah!"
Ling Feng suddenly had an epiphany and completely understood!
Xun Qianqian didn’t want to go back for the blind dates, but she couldn’t resist her parents’ continual urging, so she was hoping he would accompany her back. If the old couple saw him, they would likely stop urging her to marry.
Having understood this, Ling Feng scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "Got it, I’ll have to go back with her the day after tomorrow no matter what!"
"Yeah, the old folks have traditional views, and Qian Qian is not getting any younger. They must be worried!" Li Yumei nodded.
As they were talking, Xun Qianqian came back in and said to Ling Feng, "I’ve called home. Going back the day after tomorrow is fine!"
"Alright, I’ll drive you there when the time comes!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
...
...
The next day, Ling Feng drove with Chen Yuhe back to the county town and then met up with Mo Jiaolan. The three of them went together to Longshou Mountain Cemetery.
Despite saying she had let go, upon arriving at the tombstone, both Chen Yuhe and Mo Jiaolan couldn’t help but weep for a while.
Ling Feng’s heart was filled with mixed emotions; what did it matter if he had avenged them? After all, the deceased are gone, and such a loss is unbearable for anyone.
After sweeping the tomb and offering flowers, Chen Yuhe stood silently for a long time before turning around and softly saying, "Let’s go back."
"Okay, don’t be too sad," Ling Feng said, wrapping his arm firmly around her shoulder.
"Yeah, I know."
Chen Yuhe nodded, and after the three descended the mountain and got back into the car, she finally spoke up, "Take me home, please. I want to pick up some clothes."
Ling Feng was about to agree when he suddenly changed his mind, "New Year’s is coming; why go back for old clothes? Let’s go buy new ones!"
"Is that necessary?"
Chen Yuhe hesitated.
Mo Jiaolan nodded, "Go for it, New Year’s is right around the corner, why not buy some for the kids too!"
"Alright then."
Hearing this, Chen Yuhe no longer refused and agreed with a nod.
