“I trust Jin Yang. Even if he has the drug, he won’t abuse it to hurt anyone and stabilize his so-called position of power.”
“I will also respect your choice. If you want to continue developing the drug, we will support you all the way. But if you want to give up, I will still feel proud of you. Because you made your choice for the sake of everyone and not for your own benefit.”
Qiu Tong answered Qiu Rong’s question firmly. Her honesty and warmth made Qiu Rong feel unprecedentedly secure.
Qiu Rong hugged her tightly. Both their eyes had reddened with emotion. They didn’t say anything else.
In the stairway near the laboratory, a few tiny heads were crowded together.
The children were trying to eavesdrop when they saw Qiu Rong and Qiu Tong walking out side by side. Their expressions were solemn and the atmosphere was awkward and stiff.
Qiu Xingqiao was so impatient that he lost his balance and fell. He covered his mouth and ignored the dull pain coming from his butt.
Qiu Xingyu narrowed her eyes worriedly. She tugged at the corner of Ye Luan’s shirt, already imagining the worst-case scenario.
“Did Grandpa fight with Mommy? Does he want Mommy to bring us out of here? What about Uncle Jin Yang?”
As Qiu Xingyuan listened to her whining, his cold and handsome face was filled with dark clouds. He quietly clenched his fists and tried to think of a solution.
Ye Luan was a little older, so he came up with a brilliant suggestion. “We can let Uncle Jin Yang do something to please Grandpa Qiu!”
The other children looked at Ye Luan. Half an hour later, Qiu Xingyu ran to the study and pulled Jin Yang out by the wrist.
Jin Yang followed her to the garden in surprise. When he saw the three children standing there solemnly, he instantly became a little nervous.
Qiu Xingyu stood beside Qiu Xingyuan with her hands on her waist. The children looked like they were about to interrogate Jin Yang. Qiu Xingyuan asked, “Are you willing to give up everything for Mommy and do whatever it takes to make her happy? You don’t want to see her being caught between Grandpa and you, right?”
Jin Yang nodded, not understanding what the children were trying to say.
Carrying a hoe, Qiu Xingqiao pointed at the plant nursery a distance away. He gestured for Jin Yang to come closer.
Jin Yang hesitated for two seconds before striding to their side and squatting down. The children crowded around him and whispered into his ear. Shao An saw this scene from afar. Thinking that they were having an intimate family moment, Shao An sighed enviously.
“In just a few days, his relationship with the children has progressed so quickly…”
The children’s explanation was a little messy but Jin Yang managed to pick out the keywords and finally understood their intentions. He rubbed his aching ears in amusement.
Qiu Xingyu looked up at him worriedly. “Got it?”
Jin Yang rubbed the top of her head with his hands. Looking at her fluffy and perky hair, he couldn’t help smiling. “Don’t worry!”
…
The next day at noon, Jin Yang brought Shao An to the nearby plant nursery and bought hundreds of fresh flower buds.
Shao An carried the flower pots and seedlings to the loading truck. He rubbed the sore muscles in his arms and grumbled, “Sir, are you going to change professions to become a flower farmer? Where do you plan to put these seedlings?”
Shao An felt that Jin Yang’s recent actions were becoming increasingly difficult to predict.
Jin Yang also raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead. He looked at the message he received on his phone. “Let’s set off. The materials I ordered for planting have arrived. We need to move them into the garden now. Later, you’ll follow me and plant them in the backyard.”
Shao An was so shocked that his mouth fell open. He wondered if he was hallucinating.
Jin Yang slapped the back of his head harshly, causing stars to appear in Shao An’s eyes as he swayed unsteadily.
“This is a brilliant solution the children came up with for me. Little Yu asked me to think of a way to please Qiu Rong. If you mess up and make my wife leave, I will punish you by sending you to the remote suburbs on patrol duty!”
As Jin Yang explained, Shao An finally understood the reason behind this all. He followed behind Jin Yang and couldn’t help grumbling softly, “You’ve really changed too much for Miss Qiu. If news of this were to spread, no way the high-ranking officials in the capital would believe you did all these.”
“Mr. President, do you know how to be a farmer?”
“Will these flower buds survive until they bloom?”
Shao An mustered up the courage to ask in a worried tone. Jin Yang stopped abruptly and turned to glare at him with narrowed eyes.
Oh no! Why did he blurt those words out?!
Just as Shao An was thinking of a way to save the situation, Jin Yang frowned and whispered, “Help me find a tutorial on planting flowers.”
“Qiu Xingqiao said that I have to plant it personally to show my sincerity. Only then can I move Qiu Rong’s heart…”
Shao An heaved a sigh of relief. As he looked at Jin Yang’s back, his eyes were filled with indescribable sympathy.
Even the president would also lose all common sense after falling in love!
