Xiao Yiyang's breathing became more and more rapid, and he tried hard to control his impulse. Finally, Leng Ruofei took off his wet clothes and walked into the warm water.

Xiao Yiyang stood guard at the side, his eyes never leaving Leng Ruofei. He watched the water flow down her skin, and the desire in his heart surged like a tide.

After taking a shower, Xiao Yiyang wrapped Leng Ruofei in a soft bath towel and carried her into the bedroom again. The two of them lay on the bed, their breaths intertwined. Xiao Yiyang could no longer suppress his inner desire. He leaned over and kissed Leng Ruofei's forehead, cheeks, and finally her lips. Leng Ruofei responded to his kiss passionately, her hands tightly around Xiao Yiyang's neck.

Xiao Yiyang's hands wandered over Leng Ruofei's body, and every touch ignited a spark of passion. Leng Ruofei's body trembled slightly, and he let out a soft moan.

Their love reached its peak at this moment, and their hearts and bodies blended perfectly together. In this moment of tenderness and passion, they seemed to forget all the troubles in the world, leaving only their deep love for each other.

On a weekend morning, the soft sunlight shines through the thin gauze curtains, like delicate gold powder, gently sprinkling in the spacious living room of Qin Lan's home. Every inch of light seems to bring a warm caress, awakening this space full of life.

Qin Lan got up early, her mood was as bright as the blue sky outside the window. Humming a light tune, she walked into the kitchen lightly and began to prepare a sumptuous lunch for today's family gathering. Her eyes were full of anticipation and joy, as if this lunch was not just a meal, but also a feast for the family's spiritual gathering.

In the kitchen, Qin Lan was like a skilled conductor, the kitchen knife in her hand jumped happily on the chopping board, the ribs were chopped neatly in her hands, each piece was even in size, showing her superb cooking skills. The water in the pot was rolling happily, and the hot steam was rising like clouds. She quickly put the washed vegetables into the pot and blanched them, her movements were smooth and smooth. The flames on the stove were burning, and the oil in the pot was sizzling, as if playing a cheerful symphony. Qin Lan lightly put the green onion, ginger and garlic into the pot to stir-fry, and in an instant, the rich and intoxicating fragrance filled the entire kitchen like an elf, and also filled Qin Lan's heart full of happiness.

Meanwhile, on the city streets, Xiao Yiyang was driving the car, while Xiao Yichen sat comfortably in the passenger seat. The sunlight shone through the car window onto their faces, reflecting their relaxed and happy expressions.

"What delicious food did mom make today?" Xiao Yichen had a look of anticipation on his face, his eyes gleaming with excitement, as if he had already seen the table full of delicious food.

Xiao Yiyang's face was filled with a confident smile. "It will definitely be a sumptuous feast. Our mom's cooking skills are beyond reproach! Every time we go home, she can feast us to our heart's content."

The car drove smoothly on the road, and the brothers' laughter echoed in the car. After a while, the car stopped steadily at the door of the house. The brothers couldn't wait to walk into the house quickly. The familiar aroma of food was like a warm embrace, surrounding them tightly.

"Mom, we're back!" Xiao Yichen's cheerful voice rang out in the house, full of energy and joy.

Qin Lan poked her head out of the kitchen, her face filled with a smile as bright as the sun, "Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner! Hey? Where's Ruofei? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

"Ms. Qin, Fei'er has a product exhibition this morning and will be back soon. What? Is it not okay now that your son is back?" Xiao Yiyang approached her nonchalantly, picked up a cucumber from the basket and started biting it, looking like a naughty child.

"Go, go, play chess with your dad. We'll have dinner when Rufei comes back." Qin Lan pushed him out of the kitchen with a smile, her eyes full of kindness and helplessness.

Xiao Zhengchun was sitting on the sofa at this time. He didn't roll his eyes at Xiao Yiyang because of his mischief like he did in the past. Instead, he smiled and watched Xiao Yichen set up the chess and cards. His eyes revealed an unprecedented gentleness and acceptance, as if his youngest son made him feel extremely relieved.

The chess pieces were set up, and Xiao Zhengchun took the lead. His pieces were like brave warriors, charging forward with great momentum. Xiao Yichen responded calmly, not in a hurry, and occasionally deliberately gave up a few steps. Xiao Yiyang watched anxiously and came to Xiao Zhengchun's side, "Dad, make this move, make this move!" He anxiously instructed, and did not forget to warn Xiao Yichen, "Don't let up, play seriously!"

With Xiao Yiyang's "help", Xiao Zhengchun won a round in a short while. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and the wrinkles on his face were stretched out. "Haha, another round, another round!" He shouted excitedly, as if he had returned to his youth.

Xiao Yichen was not annoyed. He remained calm and composed. He rearranged the chess pieces and prepared to face his father's challenge again.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps at the door. Leng Ruofei hurried and finally returned home before 11:. Seeing the father and his two sons playing chess enthusiastically, he smiled and shook his head, then went into the bathroom to wash his hands and prepare to help Qin Lan serve the dishes.

The dining table was filled with delicious dishes. The braised spareribs were bright red, tender and juicy, and each piece exuded an alluring aroma; the steamed fish was on the plate, with the shredded green onion, ginger and red pepper on the fish like carefully decorated flowers, and the tender fish seemed to be calling for people to taste it; the braised prawns were red, with crispy shells and plump prawns; and the vegetable salad made by Qin Lan was colorful, refreshing and delicious; the mushroom soup was thick, fresh and fragrant, and steaming hot. The family sat around the table, enjoying themselves.

Xiao Zhengchun spoke first: "Come on, let's raise our glasses together to thank your mother for preparing such a sumptuous lunch for us and for bringing our family together." His voice was gentle and powerful, and his face was filled with a happy smile. Everyone raised their glasses and gently clinked them together. The crisp sound seemed like a happy note, rippling in the warm air.

Qin Lan looked at everyone with a smile, her eyes full of satisfaction and happiness, the light was like the warmest sunshine in spring. "Everyone, eat quickly, eat more." Her voice was full of love and expectation, hoping that her family could enjoy this lunch full of love.

Xiao Yiyang picked up a piece of ribs, put it in his mouth and chewed it, his face full of intoxication. "Ms. Qin, these ribs are so delicious, your cooking skills are getting better and better!" He chewed and gave a thumbs up, like a greedy child who got his favorite candy.

Xiao Yichen was not to be outdone. He carefully tasted a bite of the fish, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "Well, this fish is also fresh and tender. Mom, you have worked hard!" His words were full of sincerity and gratitude.

Leng Ruofei gently served Qin Lan a bowl of soup and handed it to her with both hands. "Mom, you should eat more too." His eyes were filled with concern and respect.

The family ate and chatted, laughter and words intertwined, and the whole restaurant was filled with warmth and joy.

"Dad, how are you feeling lately?" Leng Ruofei asked with concern, his eyes fixed on Xiao Zhengchun, full of worry.

Xiao Zhengchun smiled and replied, "I'm fine. Seeing you all, I feel good and naturally feel better." His smile was as warm as the spring breeze, as if it could dispel all the haze. But then, his expression suddenly became serious, and everyone noticed this subtle change. They instantly became quiet, and their eyes were all waiting for him to speak.

Xiao Zhengchun coughed lightly and cleared his throat, as if making final preparations for what he was about to say. "I have submitted an application for early retirement and have handed it over to the organization." His voice was not loud, but it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples in everyone's heart.

Xiao Yiyang looked up and was stunned, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said in a nonchalant manner: "You should have handed it in earlier. It's a good opportunity to take Ms. Qin around the world. Wasn't this the plan before?" He tried to use a relaxed tone to ease the slightly heavy atmosphere.

"Haha, yes. I wrote the application yesterday, and when I handed it in to the organization, I still felt a little uncomfortable." Xiao Zhengchun spoke the truth, his eyes revealing a complex emotion, including reluctance to leave his job after many years, as well as expectation and confusion about a new life.

Qin Lan hurriedly comforted him, "What's wrong? You've been working for almost forty years and have given so much to your work and your people. Now you feel uncomfortable when I spend the second half of your life with you?" There was a hint of anger in her words, but more of it was understanding and heartache.

When Xiao Zhengchun heard this, he burst into laughter. His laughter was filled with both the relief of being amused by his wife and the emotion of the past years. "I asked you to say this, but you got it wrong!" He gently patted Qin Lan's hand, his eyes full of tenderness and love.

Everyone laughed along, trying to use laughter to dispel the slight sadness in Xiao Zhengchun's heart. Xiao Yiyang put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Dad, we all understand that you have been working for so many years, and you can't just let go of your feelings. But you should also enjoy life for yourself and mom."

Xiao Yichen also nodded, and then said: "Yes, Dad. You have worked hard for most of your life. It's time to relax and do what you want to do."

Leng Ruofei pondered for a moment and said, "Dad, I believe your decision is well thought out. No matter what, we support you."

Xiao Zhengchun looked at the sensible children in front of him, and his heart was filled with relief and emotion. "Thank you for your understanding. In fact, I also know that it is time to let go. It's just that this sudden change makes me feel a little emotional." His eyes swept across the children's faces one by one, as if he wanted to deeply imprint this moment in his heart.
