He made sure that he could see Qi Yan out of the corner of his eye before he slowly bent down to pick up the tribute that Qi Yan had brought to him, as well as the regular items needed for the worship.

I have to say she was very well prepared.

Shen Rao took out the incense stick and took out the lighter he got from Qi Yan from his pocket. With a crackling sound, a faint blue flame appeared.

As he lit it, he said, "This is the incense your daughter-in-law bought. Remember to take a few more puffs."

"Did you see it just now? That's your daughter-in-law. Isn't she pretty? Isn't she handsome?"

"Isn't he pretty and handsome?"

"Her name is Qi Yan. She is the granddaughter of my grandmother's friend. She is richer and more powerful than our family. I am really marrying up."

He grinned: "When we were little, you said I couldn't find a partner because of my bad temper, but what happened? Didn't I find the best person in the world?"

"Your son is happy, so just be happy about it."

He lit the incense and continued to mutter.

"Don't accuse me of being unfilial. I have found a daughter-in-law for you and brought her here for you to see. But just take a look at her. Don't worry about her. Forget about her dreams at night. She is afraid of ghosts."

Shen Rao picked up the sunflower and waved it towards his mother's tombstone.

"Did you see that? Your daughter-in-law asked me what kind of flowers you like, and bought them specially," he put them in front of his mother's grave again, "Dad doesn't have any, so he just needs to smell them."

Having said that, he still pulled out a sunflower and placed it in front of his father's grave.

"You are just taking advantage of your mother."

"..."

The smoke of incense floated over the words and photos on the stone tablet.

He half-squatted, glancing in the direction of Qi Yan with a distant gaze.

"Mom and Dad are really nice. If it weren't for her..."

Shen Rao paused and said, "I may never have the courage to come and see you in my lifetime."

The shadow of his parents' death shrouded Shen Rao's first half of his life.

His life was turned upside down overnight, and the favored child who had been loved since childhood turned into a dissolute bastard.

He looked at himself now, dressed in a suit and tie, making a name for himself in the world of fame and fortune. He felt that he was completely different from the man who lived a life of mediocrity and drunkenness five years ago.

Perhaps... Qi Yan was his salvation from the beginning.

"She saved me," Shen Rao's eyes dropped, "She has saved me many times, so many times that your son has worked like a slave for her and still hasn't saved me enough."

He sat on the bluestone steps of the tombstone and told the story bit by bit.

Telling about his love at first sight.

"The first time I saw her, I had already decided where to propose to her and even the date to register for marriage."

Telling his teenage thoughts.

"I liked her so much back then, and now I can't leave her even for a moment. It's all because you two have such a good relationship, and I've become love-brained," he quickly denied, "No, I should thank you. I think it's good this way now."

Talk about his future plans.

"I want to be buried with her in the future. It would be best if our ashes were mixed together so that we won't be separated in the next life."

Every time he talked about Qi Yan, his eyes lit up.

Shen Rao recovered and looked at the cold tombstone, but the black and white photo on it was not cold at all.

He said: "Thank you, Mom and Dad, thank you..."

The other end.

"Miss, is there any problem?" the administrator asked carefully.

Qi Yan withdrew his gaze from Shen Rao, glanced at him coldly, and went straight to the point.

"Has anyone moved the Shen family's tombstone?"

The administrator choked and told the truth.

"Did you see it? Some time ago, someone vandalized it maliciously, and it was renovated this year. When it happened, we reported it to Madam Shen immediately. Fortunately, the ashes of Mr. Shen and Ms. Jing were not damaged, and the old lady did not pursue it..."

Those buried in Nanshan Cemetery are not ordinary people.

If something goes wrong while they are guarding, they will be held responsible, so they dare not slack off.

This was the only time they had a problem in all these years.

The reason for the damage to the surveillance camera could not be determined, and the person who committed the crime could not be found.

What's even more strange is that the Shen family, who have always held grudges and are not easy to deal with, no longer pursued the matter and chose to keep the peace.

You have to know the Shen family's generation.

Above them are the parents of the person in power in the Shen family, and below them are Madam Shen's son and daughter-in-law, people who have to be considered carefully before saying anything.

The tombstone was pried open, but no one was held accountable.

It's weird everywhere.

After Qi Yan heard this, her guess was confirmed. She nodded: "I understand."

"Excuse me," the administrator asked, "are you Mr. Shen's?"

Don't blame him for being curious.

The tombstone of the Shen couple has stood in Nanshan for many years. The current president of Shen Group has never been there, but today he brought a lady to visit the tomb and pay homage.

The administrator smelled a strong smell of gossip.

"Do you think I'm his?" Qi Yan spread his hands.

"Is she Mr. Shen's wife?" the administrator asked sweetly.

Qi Yan said: "Soon."

The administrator didn't understand anything, so he said with a smile, "You two must be very loving."

How can the relationship not be good if they come to see their deceased parents before getting married?

After discussing other matters with the administrator, Qi Yan walked back to Shen Rao.

He lowered his head and looked at Shen Rao who was pouring wine for his parents in front of the tomb, and squatted down as well.

She asked, "What did you talk about?"

Shen Rao held the wine glass and looked away: "I was just introducing you to them."

"Oh?" Qi Yan straightened his face, "Is it too late to introduce myself now?"

"It's too late," Shen Rao raised his eyebrows, "I was one step faster than you."

"Does this count as me being late? It seems I should drink a glass of wine before toasting to my uncle and aunt."

She picked up the white wine glass and was about to pour the wine.

Shen Rao snatched it away with a serious face: "Why are you drinking in a cemetery in broad daylight?"

After that, he took out a bottle of mineral water from somewhere and filled it up for her: "Drink this."

"..." Qi Yan glanced at the tombstone, then looked at Shen Rao who had a serious face, "Not so good, right?"

"What's wrong with that? Ghosts are there to fool people. Can they really jump out and beat you up? That's all."

Qi Yan: “…”

That is indeed not possible.

She had no choice but to drink water instead of wine and toasted twice, but she still felt a little guilty.

Just as she was staring at the bottle of wine and weighing it, Shen Rao pulled her up.

"Don't look at me," Shen Rao warned in a low voice, as if he saw through her, "Don't even think about drinking."

He even bent down to help her smooth out the wrinkles on her clothes, with a natural and skillful gesture.

Qi Yan held his hand, her clear eyes soft and gentle: "Uncle and aunt are still here, you make it seem like I've been bullying you outside."

She's made like a little wife.

"Humph."

Shen Rao snorted coldly, held her hand and threatened.

"I just want them to see how you bully me, so that they can come to you in your dreams next time. I can't become a ghost for a while, so let my parents pester you."

Qi Yan stood up straight and defended himself.

"This is a huge misunderstanding. I have never bullied you."

"Why are you still talking nonsense?" Shen Rao pinched her palm and whispered, "Are you scared?"

Qi Yan smiled helplessly and whispered beside him, "I'm scared. I'm so scared."
