To make up for the debt owed to Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Before going to bed, Lin Qingping called Gu Juncheng to tell him about it. Gu Juncheng stood up for Zhiyuan and said that she spoiled the child. How could anyone run away when faced with a problem?

"I'll spoil you so much you'll never grow up!"

Lin Qingping immediately objected, "How can you say you can't grow up? Isn't Zhiyuan mature and outstanding enough? Besides, don't you love your precious daughter?"

"Zhangzhu is a girl..."

Speaking of her beloved daughter, Lin Qingping couldn't help but think of Lu Yi's attitude towards her daughter's marriage. So she asked Gu Juncheng, "Do you think that if our daughter meets a boy she likes terribly and insists on being with him, we can still support her with all our might like this?"

“How can that be? The first requirement for anyone to marry our Zhangzhu is that they love her and treat her like a precious gem, just like we do. Then we can talk about anything else.” Gu Juncheng immediately rejected the idea and then instructed Lin Qingping, “She’s in university. You need to tell Zhiyuan to keep an eye on her and make sure she’s not fooled by bad boys.”

Lin Qingping also felt that this was very necessary.

Providing her daughter with a happy life is something she will definitely do, but as Gu Juncheng said, at least the other party has to be someone who treats her like a precious jewel. Otherwise, why would she and Gu Juncheng's precious daughter suffer with someone else? It would be better for her to stay at home and pamper herself!

However, at this point, Lin Qingping had a change of heart and sneered at Gu Juncheng on the other end of the phone, "Gu Juncheng, you're quite the smooth talker!"

"What?" Gu Juncheng didn't react for a moment.

"To be considered a 'princess,' one must be someone who loves her and treats her like a precious gem." Lin Qingping chuckled twice. "And what about me? We've been together for a lifetime, no, two lifetimes. Have you ever said you loved me? Have you ever treated me like a precious gem?"

Gu Juncheng: ...

"Stop avoiding it!" Lin Qingping snorted. "Gu Juncheng! Comrade Gu, how can you be a deserter when faced with a problem? Explain yourself!"

Gu Juncheng: ...

Why does this sentence sound so familiar?

"Comrade Lin Qingping," Gu Juncheng said seriously, "we're an old married couple, why are you still saying these things..."

"You didn't say that when you were young either?" Lin Qingping shut him down with a single sentence.

Gu Juncheng: ...

"Um... cough cough..." Gu Juncheng coughed tactically, "I'm in a meeting..."

"Don't give me that!" Lin Qingping hung up the phone in anger, and she didn't answer when Gu Juncheng called again.

The phone rang for a while before finally stopping, but then a text message notification sounded.

Lin Qingping picked it up and saw that it was a message from Comrade Gu, containing only a few words: If not, why did I have to find you in both lifetimes?

Lin Qingping chuckled again. Anyway, there were a few words that were not only too hot to say, but also too hot to handle, and a certain person would absolutely never say them.

She didn't reply, but a little while later another message came: When will you reply?

She still ignored her.

Then another text message came: I'm so bored here all by myself.

Lin Qingping picked up her phone and wanted to reply without thinking: "No one's doing your laundry and cooking for you anymore, is that it?"

But this can't be sent out because it can't be sent out—clothes, as long as he's not on a mission, he just puts them in the washing machine and takes them out to hang them up to dry. As for cooking, except for the year she took Zhangzhu to live outside, they always cooked together. If he wasn't home, she basically ate at the cafeteria with Zhangzhu...

Seriously, even their complaints are unfounded.

She thought for a moment and replied: Why are you all alone? Don't you have Xiao Ding?

Xiao Ding later became his bodyguard.

Gu Juncheng: Stop messing around, when are you coming back? It's no fun without you.

Lin Qingping replied: What do you want me to do to make it interesting?

That year, Lin Qingping was 46 years old, and by all accounts, she had lived with him for 26 years.

Life is actually quite mundane, especially on the island. Every day is just eating, sleeping, and working. It's as bland as water. Someone as dull as him probably can't find anything interesting to do.

After a while, Gu Juncheng replied: Every day when I come home, as long as I see you there, I feel that life is very interesting.
