Marriage is not sex: Husband loves so fiercely

Seeing Cheng Ruoke, although Ling Fan's expression was still a little unnatural, he seemed to be relieved a lot.

"If Zhan Leyan really has nothing, I can take you in." He didn't even care about making such a joke anymore.

Chi Cheng looked at Ling Fan with the expression that you were going to die.

Sure enough, Zhan Leyan, who had just come down the stairs, went straight to Ling Fan.

"You can try..." That looks much scarier than what Jinther said just now that he would take away his company.

"Unexpectedly, the workaholic Zhan Leyan turned into a flirtatious man who loves beauties and not country, hahaha..." Chi Cheng couldn't help laughing.

"If you want to say that you are really unlucky, you are envied everywhere, Jiangshan has been missed by others, although the beauty is at home, she is still missed, Zhan Leyan, have you violated the Tai Sui recently, do you want to find a master?" Let me show you, I do know a monk who lives on a mountain in the suburbs..." Chi Cheng couldn't stop talking again.

"Get out!" Zhan Leyan roared, and the water glass in Chi Cheng's hand almost fell to the ground.

"Have you ever talked to a brother like this? You scared me to death!" In Chicheng's impression, Zhan Leyan hadn't spoken in this tone for a long time.

"Stop making trouble, let's think about how to deal with Jinse tomorrow." Zhan Yiyang, who had been standing silently by the side, finally spoke.

Ge Yi snuggled up to her husband, playing with his slender and fair hands.

"I'm going back to my mother's house in a while, grandpa and grandma miss you so much."

Although she said it as if nothing had happened, Zhan Yiyang knew in his heart that his wife was going back to Ge's house to find a solution for Zhan.

Zhan Yiyang bowed his head guiltily and kissed Ge Yi's forehead.

"It's good to go back and have a look." He whispered, "Don't embarrass yourself."

Ge Yi looked up at Zhan Yiyang, and he understood everything in one look.

　"En." She nodded.

When Cheng Ruoke and Zhan Leyan sent everyone away, the rain had stopped, and the air smelled of damp water vapor, mixed with a thick smell of earth, standing in front of the dull and solemn house, watching the sun gradually shoot out from the dark clouds The light then emerged bit by bit.

Cheng Ruoke's eyes followed a ray of sunlight to the garden.

Like a scarecrow, Lao Li stood beside the familiar place, Black Peony.

　With a thought in her heart, she retracted her foot that had already stepped into the threshold, and unconsciously walked towards the garden.

Zhan Leyan had already gone in, but seeing Cheng Ruoke suddenly turn around, he came out to look.

When he got closer, Cheng Ruoke realized that Lao Li was soaked and water was still dripping from his hair.

"Are you okay?" Cheng Ruoke asked as he approached.

As if he didn't hear it, Lao Li still stood there with his head slightly lowered and his expression focused.

Following his gaze, Cheng Ruoke saw the black peony on the ground.

The petals withered and fell all over the ground, and the branches lay messily in the muddy water, like dead bodies.

That's right, this black peony died after all.

"There are flowers that can be folded straight away, don't wait for no flowers to be broken." Lao Li suddenly murmured a line of poetry in a low voice.

Cheng Ruoke was very surprised. After all, Lao Li was just a gardener. She never thought that he could recite poems.

"Yes, only what truly belongs to you is the most worthy of cherishing and protecting."

Cheng Ruoke just felt Lao Li's infatuation with Mrs. Zhan, and followed his poem, expressing his feelings.

Lao Li's body trembled as if he had been clicked, and then he turned his head dully and looked at Cheng Ruoke.

"What you can get is often not cherished, and what you can't get is always the best." He said lightly.

"Just like this black peony, when it was alive, it was so precious but I couldn't bear to pick it, for fear of hurting her, but now, it has fallen red all over the ground, and it will just turn into spring mud in the coming year."

Cheng Ruoke tried to comfort him in this way, after all, some stories will never be known to outsiders.

"I used to spend a lot of effort to take care of her and protect her, but now I still lose her. I have no ability to change this fact, so..." Lao Li said with dull eyes, "I didn't do my job well, Fire me."

This is just an excuse for him to leave, since the person he wants to protect is gone, it probably means nothing for him to stay here.

"What if I say no?" Zhan Leyan came from the path, stood behind Cheng Ruoke and said, "You can't go."

Cheng Ruoke was taken aback, could it be... Does Zhan Leyan know anything?

When Lao Li saw Zhan Leyan, he bent his hunched back and bowed.

"Hi, Second Young Master." He said respectfully.

"This bouquet of flowers is my mother's favorite. Now that my mother is dead, no one appreciates the flowers. Maybe death is a kind of relief for her," Zhan Leyan said suddenly after seeing the black peony on the ground. , "But you didn't work for this flower, Lao Li, you have been in Zhanjia for almost 20 years, right?"

20...

Cheng Ruoke couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He had silently guarded Mrs. Zhan for 20 years. He saw the person he liked walking with her husband in the garden every day. Seeing the harmony of the family, what kind of torment should Lao Li feel in his heart?
However, he persisted for 20 years...

Such love, such devotion, made Cheng Ruoke a little moved.

Why isn't the relationship between her and Zhan Leyan deep and difficult to control?Going around and going back and forth for several years, their hearts have never left each other, and their love has never faded because of time and distance, as well as those misunderstandings and interruptions.

But it got deeper, thicker, and even more irresistible.

"Nuannuan likes you very much. He came to beg me to learn gardening from you, so I hope you can stay." Zhan Leyan asked to stay.

A gleam of light flashed in Lao Li's eyes, he looked at Zhan Leyan, as if he didn't understand.

　"Nuan Nuan seems to like your small garden more than the big house behind him." Zhan Leyan smiled helplessly.

"Perhaps Nuan Nuan was influenced by grandma and is particularly interested in these flowers and plants. You can stay and be his teacher." Cheng Ruoke also said.

Lao Li turned his head and looked at the big house behind him, his gaze seemed to penetrate the thick wall and into the house.

Cheng Ruoke knew where he was looking, it must be Mrs. Zhan's bedroom, and how many times had he done this kind of looking up over the years?
Hundreds of times?Or tens of thousands of times?
"Since you don't dislike it, then I'll teach him. When he learns, it's not too late for me to leave." He looked down at the scattered peonies on the ground, turned and walked towards his wooden house.

Looking at his lonely back, Cheng Ruoke grabbed Zhan Leyan's arm.

"In the future, no matter what happens, don't leave me." She said softly.

Zhan Leyan put his arms around Cheng Ruoke's shoulders, and kissed her on the top of her head.

"Fool, I won't leave you." He said with a smile.

After Nuan Nuan learned that she had the permission of her parents to go and learn how to grow grass and flowers with Uncle Li in the garden, she was very happy, but then she suddenly became sad.

"What's wrong with Nuan Nuan? Why are you unhappy again?" Cheng Ruoke asked with concern, "If you don't like it, we won't go."

"It's too late, he said he likes it, now he has to learn it even if he doesn't want to." Zhan Leyan showed the appearance of a strict father at this time, but Cheng Ruoke couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhan Leyan like this.

"No, Dad, I like it very much, I don't want to learn, but if grandma is still there, she can go to the garden with me to water the flowers..."

The two adults looked at each other and fell silent.

"I...I kind of miss grandma..." Nuan Nuan raised her head and said with red eyes.

Cheng Ruoke endured the tears swirling in her eyes, smiled and said to Nuan Nuan, "Nuan Nuan, sleep with mom today, grandma is waiting for us in the dream."

"Really? Is grandma waiting for me in my dream? Will she still tell me stories to lull me to sleep?" Nuan Nuan asked a series of questions.

"Well, really." Zhan Leyan nodded, "Grandma will come to see you when you fall asleep."

So a family, a big bed, Cheng Ruoke on the left, Zhan Leyan on the right, and Nuan Nuan in the middle.

He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to get himself to sleep quickly so he could see Granny.

Zhan Leyan's arm went around Nuan Nuan, landed on Cheng Ruoke's hair, and stroked gently.

"Will he dream of grandma?" Cheng Ruoke asked softly after making sure that Nuan Nuan had fallen asleep.

"Yes, yes." Zhan Leyan said with certainty, "Because grandma misses him too."

"Tomorrow... will you really hand over Zhan's? Jinse's ambition is not as simple as a company." Cheng Ruoke said worriedly.

Zhan Leyan stroked Cheng Ruoke's soft long hair with a light smile, and said with a smile, "From tomorrow onwards, I will rely on you to support me, wife."

"Don't worry, I will support you!" Cheng Ruoke suddenly remembered what Zhou Xingchi said to Cecilia Cheung in a certain movie.

"Is it okay not to go to work?"

"Are you supporting me if you don't go to work?"

"I'll take care of you!"

　"After tomorrow, my lifeline will be in your hands. That half of the property is the bargaining chip for us to start over." Zhan Leyan's tone became much more serious.

Cheng Ruoke stretched out her slender fingers, and gently rubbed Zhan Leyan's frowning brows.

"Don't frown, you'll grow old."

Zhan Leyan held Cheng Ruoke's finger, put it to his mouth and kissed it gently.

"If I grow old and ugly, will you still love me?"

Cheng Ruoke covered her mouth and burst out laughing.

"Shouldn't I ask you this kind of thing? If I grow old and ugly, and my face is full of wrinkles, will you still love me?"

"Whether poor or rich, healthy or sick, will you always be by his side, never leave him, and support him until he grows old?"

　"I can."

"I can."

The two looked at each other, with lingering love flowing in their eyes, fingers intertwined, feeling each other's body temperature, between them was the warmth of a deep sleep.

Although they met for the first time on the wedding day, the wedding vows are a lifetime promise. No matter how time changes, this vow will never be erased.

"Zhan Leyan, I love you." Before falling asleep, Cheng Ruoke said softly.
