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 jokes.

Chi Cheng looked at Ling Fan with an expression that he was about to die.

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

"You can try ......" was much scarier than when Ginther said he was going to take his company.

"I can't imagine that the workaholic Zhan Le Yan has become a frivolous man who loves beauty and doesn't love the country, hahaha......" Chi Cheng couldn't help laughing.

"If you want to say that you are really unlucky, you are jealous everywhere, Jiangshan has been remembered by others, although the beauty is at home, she is still remembered, Zhan Le Yan, have you committed Tai Sui recently, do you want to find a master to show you, I know a monk, just on the suburban mountain......" Chi Cheng's mouth began to stop again.

"Get out!" Zhan Le Yan let out a low roar, and the water cup in Chi Cheng's hand almost fell to the ground.

"Did you talk to your brother like that, it scared me to death!" In Chi Cheng's impression, Zhan Le Yan hadn't spoken in this tone for a long time.

"Don't make a fuss, let's think about how to deal with Jinther tomorrow." Zhan Yiyang, who had been silent on the side, finally spoke.

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

"I'm going back to my parents' house in a while, and my grandparents want to be handsome."

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

Zhan Yiyang bowed his head apologetically 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 understood all his thoughts with one look.

"Yes." She nodded.

When Cheng Ruoke and Zhan Leyan saw everyone off, the rain had stopped, and the air was filled with the smell of damp water vapor, mixed with the heavy smell of earth, standing in front of the dreary and solemn house, watching the sun gradually shoot out of the dark clouds, and then show its head little by little.

Cheng Ruoke's gaze fell on the garden with a beam of sunlight.

Lao Li was like a scarecrow, standing in that familiar position, next to the black peony.

Her heart moved, and her feet, which had already crossed the threshold, retracted and unconsciously walked towards the garden.

Zhan Leyan had already gone in, but when he saw Cheng Ruoke suddenly turn around, he came out to see.

When he got closer, Cheng Ruoke found that Lao Li was soaked, and his hair was still dripping with droplets.

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

Lao Li still stood there as if he hadn't heard it, his head slightly bowed, and his expression was 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 corpses.

That's right, this black peony is still dead after all.

"There are flowers that can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches." Lao Li's mouth suddenly whispered a poem.

Cheng Ruoke was surprised, after all, Lao Li was just a gardener, she never thought that he would be able to recite poetry.

"Yes, only those who truly belong to themselves are the most worthy of cherishing and protecting."

Cheng Ruoke just felt nostalgic for Lao Li's infatuation with Mrs. Zhan, and followed his poem, and felt it.

Lao Li seemed to have been clicked, his body trembled, and then he turned his head with a dull gaze 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 she was alive, she was precious but she couldn't bear to pick it, for fear of hurting her, but now, it will be red all over the ground, and it will just become spring mud in the coming year."

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

"I used to waste a lot of effort to take care of her and protect her, but now I still lose her, I can't change this fact, so ......" Lao Li said with gloomy eyes, "I didn't do my job well, fire me." ”

This is just an excuse for him to leave, the person to protect is gone, and there is probably no point for him to stay here.

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

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

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

"Second young master, hello." He said respectfully.

"This bouquet of flowers is my mother's favorite, and now that my mother is dead, no one appreciates the flowers, maybe death is a relief for it," Zhan Le Yan suddenly said with some nostalgia after seeing the black peony on the ground, "But you don't work for this flower, Lao Li, you have been in the Zhan family for almost twenty years, right?" ”

Twenty years......

Cheng Ruoke couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he had silently guarded Mrs. Zhan for 20 years, every day he saw his favorite person walking with his husband in the garden, watching the family live in harmony, what kind of torment should Lao Li have in his heart?

Yet he persevered for twenty years......

This kind of love, such a giving, made Cheng Ruoke a little moved.

Between her and Zhan Leyan, isn't it difficult to control the love? In the years of going round and round, back and forth, their hearts have never left each other, and their love has never faded due to time and distance, as well as those misunderstandings and interruptions.

But it's deeper, thicker, and even more inextricable.

"Nuan Nuan likes you very much, he came to beg me to learn gardening with you, so, I hope you can stay." Zhan Le Yan opened his mouth to stay.

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

"Nuan Nuan seems to prefer your small garden to the big house behind her." Zhan Leyan chuckled helplessly.

"Maybe Nuan Nuan is influenced by her grandmother and is particularly interested in these flowers and plants, so you can stay and be his teacher." Cheng Ruoke also said.

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

Cheng Ruoke knew where he was looking, it must be Mrs. Zhan's bedroom, and such a look, over the years, I don't know how many times he has done it?

Hundreds or thousands of times? Or tens of thousands of times?

"Since you don't dislike it, then I'll teach him, and when he learns, it's not too late for me to leave." He looked down at the peonies scattered on the ground again, and turned to walk towards his wooden house.

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

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

Zhan Le Yan grabbed Cheng Ruoke's shoulder and dropped a kiss on top of her head.

"Fool, I won't leave you." He laughs.

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

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

"It's late, he said he likes it, and now he has to learn it even if he doesn't want to." Zhan Leyan took out the appearance of a strict father at this time, but Cheng Ruoke couldn't help but want to laugh 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 here, she can go with me to the garden 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 rolling in her eyes, and said to Nuan Nuan with a smile: "Nuan Nuan is good, I slept with my mother today, and my grandmother is waiting for us in my dream." ”

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

"Yes, 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 closed his eyes tightly and tried to make himself fall asleep quickly so that he could see his grandmother.

Zhan Leyan's arm bypassed Nuan Nuan and landed on Cheng Ruoke's hair, stroking gently.

"Does he dream of grandma?" After making sure that Nuan Nuan had fallen asleep, Cheng Ruoke asked softly.

"Yes, it will." Zhan Leyan said definitely, "Because grandma is also thinking about him." ”

"Tomorrow...... Will you really hand over the Zhan clan? Kinser's ambitions are more than just a company. Cheng Ruoke said worriedly.

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

"Don't worry, I'll raise you!" Cheng Ruoke suddenly remembered what Stephen Chow said to Cecilia Cheung in a certain movie.

"If you don't go to work, can you?"

"If you don't go to work, you'll support me?"

"I'll raise you!"

"After tomorrow, my lifeblood will be in your hands, and that half of the property is the bargaining chip for us to start again." Zhan Leyan's tone was much more serious.

Cheng Ruoke stretched out his slender fingers and gently rubbed them on Zhan Leyan's frowning brow.

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

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

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

Cheng Ruoke covered his mouth and burst out laughing.

"Isn't this the kind of thing I should ask you? If I get old and ugly and my face is full of wrinkles, will you still love me? ”

"Whether you are poor or rich, healthy or sick, will you always be by his side, never abandon him, and help each other until old age?"

"I will."

"I will."

The two people looked at each other, their eyes were flowing with lingering love, their fingers were intertwined, they felt each other's body temperature, and between them, there was a sleeping warmth.

Although on the day of the wedding, they met for the first time, but the wedding vow is a lifelong commitment, no matter how time changes, this vow is engraved and will never be erased.

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