“Don’t go back this time,” Xu Xiyan said. “You should get married to Qingyu and live a good life. Don’t spend your whole life in a fit of pique. And don’t be like me and Qingyu’s father. It’s such a pity to miss out on the best years of our lives after 17 years.”
Jing Ruyue warned the two young ones.
Li Ruochu didn’t say anything and fell into silence. Helian Qingyu suddenly hugged her shoulder and promised his mother, “Mom, don’t worry! I’ve already discussed it with Chuchu. After we settle down, we’ll remarry. We’ll definitely live a good life in the future.”
Li Ruochu raised her head and looked at him in surprise. Helian Qingyu secretly pinched her shoulder, signaling her not to undermine him.
Li Ruochu knew that his filial piety was to make his mother happy, so she did not interrupt and explain.
After chatting for a while, Jing Ruyue prepared to cook. It was rare for the family of three to come today, so she had to cook lunch herself.
Li Ruochu felt that she was not here as a guest. She should be the one cooking. She took the initiative to say, “Madam, why don’t I cook?”
“Do you know how to cook?” Jing Ruyue asked.
“Yes.”
“Okay then. Come with me to prepare lunch. I can have a good chat with you.”
Just like that, Jing Ruyue took over the responsibility while Li Ruochu helped out.
Helian Qingyu went upstairs to look for his son and father. He stood upstairs and looked at the kitchen. He could see the two women working together.
The two women were talking and laughing as they prepared lunch. The scene looked especially harmonious.
In the past, he did not understand the meaning of marriage. He always felt that it was boring to live in this castle with his father and mother.
It was only now that she realized that being with the person she liked would only make her feel happy. Even looking at her back would make her feel satisfied and happy.
When Helian Qingyu found his father and son, his father was playing on the terrace with Nuo Nuo. The little boy waved his hand excitedly. “Grandpa, I want to see higher and further!”
The little boy became familiar with Helian Wei and began to call him grandpa.
Helian Wei lifted the child up and placed him on his shoulder. He said to him, “If you want to see higher and further, you have to work hard to become an accomplished person in the future. Only by standing tall can you see further.”
Nuo Nuo did not quite understand what her grandfather meant, but he felt that it was a great feeling to look down on someone.
Helian Qingyu walked over and said, “Dad, Nuo Nuo is still so young, and you’re already instilling such leadership ideas into him?”
Helian Wei turned to look at him and smiled. “When I was educating you, you were only one year old. Now that Nuo Nuo is five, it’s not early.”
Helian Qingyu smiled and stood in a row with his father. They looked into the distance.
The three generations of the Helian family finally stood together. They were the former king of this land, the current king, and the future king.
Nuo Nuo represented the future hope of the Helian family.
The grandfather and grandson came down from the terrace. A sumptuous lunch was already prepared in the dining room.
“Wash your hands and eat!”
Jing Ruyue saw the three of them coming down from upstairs and gave them instructions.
“Okay! Come Nuo Nuo, Grandpa will bring you to wash your hands.”
“Okay, grandpa.”
Nuo Nuo obediently followed her grandfather to wash his hands.
The family of five sat down. Jing Ruyue had been busy taking care of Nuo Nuo while she ate. Helian Qingyu looked at the scene of his mother doting on her grandson and deliberately said, “Mother, as the saying goes, when you have a grandson, you forget about him. It’s not wrong at all. Look at you now, you’re not even putting food in my bowl!”
