Spring River Chasing the Moon

The restaurant booked this time was the one chosen by Chen Youyou and Chen Caier.

When Luo Zhong and his family of three went downstairs, Chen Youyou was already waiting there.

"Big brother."

Chen Lili and Luo Zhong greeted at the same time.

"Uncle~"

When Luo Youyou saw that it was Chen Youyou, whom he hadn't seen for many days, he immediately ran over happily.

Chen Youyou was very happy. He didn't expect Youyou to be so enthusiastic towards him.

He leaned over and picked up Luo Youyou, "Do you miss your uncle?"

Luo Youyou nodded vigorously, "Yes, Youyou also misses her aunt and brother."

"My aunt and brother are waiting for you in the restaurant. Let's go over there quickly."

Then Chen Youyou said to Chen Ze and the others, "Mom and Dad, you and Youyou take my car, and Li Li and Ah Zhong take the other car."

When the two cars arrived at the restaurant, Chen Caier and Chen Ke were already waiting outside.

Seeing Luo Zhong get off the car, Chen Ke's mouth was as sweet as honey, and he immediately stepped forward and spoke.

"Uncle-in-law, I wish you a happy birthday, good health, and all the best."

Everyone who heard this laughed. Even Luo Zhong forgot everything that happened that morning. He smiled and touched Chen Ke's head, "Thank you for your blessing, Xiao Ke."

"Okay, come on in, the food is ready."

The whole family sat together to celebrate Luo Zhong’s birthday and to reunite as a family in Nancheng.

"My eldest sister and her husband are all in the hospital today and can't take leave. Zhou Xing is out of town for a competition, but it doesn't matter. We're all in South City anyway. There will be plenty of opportunities to get together in the future."

Chen Youyou picked up the wine glass and said excitedly.

"Let's wish Ah Zhong a happy birthday together."

Everyone raised their wine glasses, and even Luo Youyou picked up the juice in front of him and raised it up hard to celebrate.

"Happy birthday."

Luo Zhong's eyes were a little moist. He didn't expect that the whole family could get together for his birthday.

"Ah Zhong, this is a gift from your sister-in-law and me. It's not something expensive. Your sister-in-law designed it herself, and I'm responsible for making it."

Luo Zhong took the brocade box handed to him by Chen Youyou with both hands, opened it carefully, and found a brooch inside. The pattern was in the shape of a feather and was inlaid with countless diamonds.

"I hope that from today on you can spread your wings and fly, and have a different life."

Chen Youyou and Chen Caier had already heard from Chen Ze and the others about Luo Zhong's life experience today. Chen Caier felt that her feather brooch was very appropriate for the occasion. She decided to forget the past, start a new life, and fly high.

Luo Zhong understood what Chen Caier meant. He looked at the brooch and said "thank you".

"Ah Zhong, this is a gift for you that Youyou and I drew together."

Chen Ze took out a scroll of paintings from behind him. Luo Zhong was very surprised to hear that he had painted it with Youyou.

Taking the scroll, Luo Zhong unfolded it carefully.

A picture of bamboo forest in the mountains comes into view.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to it and they looked for a long time, but no one noticed where Luo Youyou had moved his brush.

"Dad, did you and Youyou draw this?"

Luo Zhong was a little confused. He hadn't been home for so long and hadn't heard about Luo Youyou's recent painting skills, so he really couldn't tell.

Even Chen Youyou, Chen Lili and others, who were very familiar with Chen Ze's paintings, didn't notice it.

Li Muzhi knew about it. She watched with her own eyes as the grandfather and grandson spent the whole day painting in the studio, and spoke proudly beside them.

"More than half of this painting was created by us. Isn't that amazing?"

As a designer, Chen Caier understood the importance of talent too well. She unconsciously walked forward and took a closer look.

"We, Xiao Youyou, will definitely become masters like our father in the future."

The whole family laughed and looked at Luo Youyou with more appreciation in their eyes.

Luo Youyou lowered her head shyly and did not dare to respond. After all, she relied on her experience in her previous life, plus the daily practice of painting bamboo during this period, to create this painting. She was afraid that her family's expectations were too high and they would be disappointed in the future.

Luo Zhong put the painting away and gently placed it aside next to the brooch.

"Let's eat. The food here is very good. Not only does it have the flavor of South City, they are also very good at cooking Haicheng dishes. Many people from Haicheng like to eat here."

Chen Youyou and Chen Caier specially chose this restaurant because they were worried that their parents, sister Luo Zhong and others would not be used to the food in Nancheng after staying in Haicheng for too long.

After the meal, Chen Youyou sent Chen Ze and the others home, and then went back to the company with Chen Caier. Chen Ke stayed at Chen Ze's house because he said he wanted to stay with his sister for a while longer, so Chen Youyou followed him.

"Ah Zhong, come to the study."

In the living room, Luo Zhongzheng watched Luo Youyou and Chen Ke having fun. Chen Ze suddenly patted his shoulder and told him to go to the study.

"Dad, what's wrong? Is something wrong?"

Luo Zhong asked curiously after closing the door.

Chen Ze looked at him and slowly took out a box from the drawer.

"This is a birthday gift from Nanzhou Yue and Zhu Yuying. Take a look for yourself."

This gift was delivered personally by Nanzhou Yue last night. They originally wanted to give it to Luo Zhong personally, but they were afraid of burdening Luo Zhong, so they asked Chen Ze and others to give it to Luo Zhong on their behalf first.

Luo Zhong was a little afraid to open it, and his outstretched hands were shaking.

This was a mahogany box with exquisite carvings. Luo Zhong took it in his hand and slowly opened it. Inside was a jade pendant. There was no special pattern on it, but it looked warm and pure, and it was obvious that it was worth a lot of money.

"Before you were born, they customized a jade pendant for you. It's the one you're wearing now. It's a pity..." Chen didn't continue speaking with regret.

"This jade token is what Zhu Yuying has always carried with her. They want to give it to you."

Luo Zhong reached out and touched the jade pendant. It was wonderful, as if he had close contact with them for the first time.

"Dad, what do you think I should do?"

In fact, the moment he saw the paternity report, Luo Zhong’s truest thought was that he wanted to meet his biological parents, no matter what the result was.

But when he thought about the fact that he didn't grow up with them and had no emotional foundation with them, and that he was not a child anymore, he was afraid that he would not be able to cultivate feelings.

Besides, it is not clear whether the child over there is Yang Qian’s biological child. If not, then whether the child should go or stay is also an important issue. Will they feel awkward or have conflicts when they are together?

Luo Zhong thought of too many possibilities at once and forgot to follow his own heart.

"Ah Zhong, Dad knows your concerns. Believe me, what you worry about will not happen. Nanzhou Yue and his family are not foolish people. They would leave their own son alone to take care of other people's children."

"And if that child is Yang Qian's, the Nan family will be even less willing to tolerate him."

"The only thing you need to understand is whether you want to recognize them or not."

Chen Ze's words seemed to give Luo Zhong a sedative. He looked up at Chen Ze and nodded firmly.

"I want."
