Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 411 His Merit is Indispensable

"Mom! Mom! I'm back!" Zhiyuan's voice rang out from outside.

Gu Juncheng was ejected from the bathroom.

Lin Qingping had finally witnessed his astonishing speed; no wonder some people described him as agile as a cheetah and swift as an eagle…

Worthy of the name!

Lin Qingping only felt a blur before her eyes, and then the person disappeared from sight. Afterwards, his serious voice came from outside: "What do you want with your mother? All you do when you get home is call her 'Mom'. You call her 'Mom' for everything. Doesn't she get tired?"

Lin Qingping chuckled; this person really knew how to pretend to be serious.

Zhiyuan seemed genuinely taken aback by his teasing, stammering, "Oh, then... where's my mom?"

Gu Juncheng: ...

Zhiyuan stared at his face for a moment, then frowned. "Dad Gu, you didn't just bring us to the island, and you've already made Mom angry again, did you?"

Gu Juncheng: ??? What a waste of time raising this son!

"Me? You made your mother angry? Are you nearsighted? Let me tell you, if you're nearsighted, you can forget about being a pilot!"

"You're my dad! Don't you even think about how good things are for me?" Zhiyuan muttered.

"I'm your father, why don't you wish me well? Why do you always want your mother to be angry with me?"

The father and son even started arguing.

"Isn't that the look on your face that says you're about to write another self-criticism?" Zhiyuan glanced at his father's expression again, confirming it for sure.

Gu Juncheng sneered, "I'm the one who writes self-criticisms? I'm the one who makes your mother stand in circles!"

Zhiyuan glanced behind him and called out, "Mom, I got some water spinach and eggplant from Chen Lei's house."

"I'll go wash the water spinach right away!" Gu Juncheng turned around immediately, but there was no one behind him.

"You little brat!" Gu Juncheng was about to grab the guy and slap him.

Zhiyuan is very agile now, and he dodged it in a flash. He even smiled at his father, Gu, and said, "Dad Gu, didn't you say you were going to punish Mom by making her stand in circles?"

After saying that, Zhiyuan ran off like a rabbit.

Gu Juncheng felt relieved as he watched his retreating figure.

The little guy has grown quite a bit taller. I was worried that he would be introverted and sensitive, and that he would treat me like an outsider at home. But now it seems that although he may still be sensitive, his liveliness and his playful banter with me show that he really considers himself a member of the family. Lin Qingping really deserves a lot of credit for this.

Lin Qingping overheard the father and son's banter outside. After taking a shower, she came out to find Gu Juncheng washing water spinach in the backyard. She walked over with a half-smile and said, "I heard someone wants to stand in the circle?"

Gu Juncheng was embarrassed. "Right, Zhiyuan! He just got back and was already running wild outside. If we don't punish him by making him stand in the circle, how can he possibly get back into the right mindset?"

Zhiyuan: ??? Okay, so the son is taking the blame again!

Lin Qingping didn't expose him. They ate at the cafeteria for lunch, and for dinner they made stir-fried water spinach with shrimp paste, stir-fried beef with cilantro, and a soup with seaweed. The three of them had a simple dinner and watched the sunset gradually paint the sky red outside the window. That's how their first day back on the island ended.

After a long journey, and having spent half a day running around with Chen Lei, even a perpetual motion machine like a child would get tired, so Zhiyuan went to bed early.

Lin Qingping was also one of them.

That evening, Gu Juncheng went to patrol the defenses again. When he returned, the house was quiet, and the mother and son were asleep.

Gu Juncheng slept with Zhiyuan last time, but tonight, when he thought of the bright red certificate he received this morning, he felt very confident. That was his license to choose to enter that door!

He took a shower to make sure he was clean and refreshed before opening the door to Lin Qingping's room.

The room was dimly lit and filled with a faint fragrance.

He found something really strange: when he lived alone, his house was always very clean and tidy. After all, he was a veteran of many years and could easily keep things organized. But his house never smelled bad, nor did it smell good. Sometimes, however, there was a faint smell of seawater.

But on the very first day Lin Qingping moved in, the room was filled with a strange fragrance.

He walked toward the source of the fragrance, and as soon as he bent down, Lin Qingping turned around and hugged him.

"Not asleep?" His voice was hoarse, and his breath was hot.

"Waiting for you." Lin Qingping's eyes shone brightly in the darkness, and within them, flames seemed to dance.

The fire instantly ignited Gu Juncheng, making this island night destined to be passionate and tender.

That was a feeling that Lin Qingping had never experienced before.

Never before have we been so close, so intimate, with no barriers between us.

She suddenly realized something: he didn't use a condom!

This was the first time she had experienced such directness; her whole body tensed, and she clung tightly to his back. "Gu Juncheng, you didn't..."

"Is it okay?" he whispered in her ear. "Is it okay? You once said that one, just one would be enough."

Lin Qingping was briefly taken aback, but quickly, without saying a word, she embraced him with even more fervent gestures.

But, at the moment of intense stalemate, the two froze simultaneously, and then stared at each other in the darkness.

Gu Juncheng actually...

Lin Qingping was shocked.

Gu Juncheng was also shocked.

“Gu Juncheng…” Lin Qingping reached out and turned on the light, looked down at him, and couldn’t help but blurt out, “Gu Juncheng, can we still have a child?”

Gu Juncheng: ...

Lin Qingping even felt a little guilty. Was it because she had dragged out the remarriage for too long, causing him to hold back for too long and leading to problems?

“Gu…Gu Juncheng…” She was very worried, not about whether they could still have a child, but about how sad he would be. She quickly comforted him, “Gu Juncheng, it’s okay, really, we already have Zhiyuan! Zhiyuan is our child!”

Gu Juncheng's face visibly darkened. "Lin Qingping!"
