Chapter 451: Giving Her Enough Security (Part 2)

Liu Zi understood. Zhao Qingfeng was expressing his endless love.

What does it mean to say such words in this setting?

Besides establishing a persona, it was akin to making a vow. With so many people hearing it, it would surely spread quickly among China’s upper-middle classes.

So, saying such things means he could never fail in love thereafter.

Otherwise, his entire credibility would be gone, including how the minister and even higher-ups perceive him.

Of course.

Zhao Qingfeng didn’t care about these, as he was determined to love only Shen Lingyao.

But Shen Lingyao was overwhelmed, understanding the significance of his words.

“Brother Qingfeng…”

Tears welled up in her eyes, moved to tears.

“What’s wrong?”

Zhao Qingfeng replied with a smile, then whispered tenderly in her ear, “Silly pheasant, you’re not crying because you’re hungry, are you? You haven’t eaten a bite till now. I’m really worried. Eat something, or how will you have the strength to fight three hundred rounds tonight?”

Pfft!

Shen Lingyao was instantly amused.

Her beloved’s tender words dispelled any negative emotions she had.

Yes!

Brother Qingfeng loves me, and I love Brother Qingfeng; what does it matter to others!

Hmph!

What about being a lady or graceful? Brother Qingfeng loves the real me.

So, eat up, forget about them.

She quickly turned her tears into laughter, picked up a piece of beef, and started eating heartily, even stuffing Zhao Qingfeng’s plate full. The two even playfully fought over a particularly tender piece of meat, causing those around them to shake their heads in disbelief, lamenting their ‘low class.’ Was this what newly rich people were like, not even pretending a bit?

Initially, Liu Zi thought so too.

But then she realized, isn’t this nice?

Isn’t this how people should be, happy and joyful without overthinking?

Especially seeing the two of them playing and laughing in a way that didn’t fit in with the rest, Liu Zi no longer found it ‘indecorous’ but was reminded of the saying, ‘Envying the mandarin ducks, not the immortals.’

Perhaps…

This was what life and love were supposed to be like.

“What’s up?”

Liu Zi returned to Minister Liu’s side, her expression thoughtful.

“Nothing.”

She shook her head, as smart as she was, understanding her father’s thoughts, “Dad, those two are made for each other.”

Minister Liu frowned slightly and sighed, not resenting Zhao Qingfeng but regretting losing such an impressive father-in-law.

While the father and daughter were talking, Zhao Qingfeng came over with Shen Lingyao, “Liu Zi, here’s my LeXin. My girlfriend agreed, so we can communicate online from now on.”

Liu Zi was startled, then smiled.

Seeing Shen Lingyao’s blissful face, she suddenly envied her immensely.

What a lucky girl, when would she meet a man who treated her so well?

She admired Zhao Qingfeng even more for his achievements and for not forgetting his roots, which was truly rare.

“Thank you.”

Liu Zi shook hands with Zhao Qingfeng again, “Brother Feng, then please take care of me in the future.”

Zhao Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, “No problem, bother me anytime. Oh, Teacher Huang and the researchers want to discuss some things with me, so I’ll take my leave now. Minister Liu, Uncle Liu, thank you for your kind invitation today. As always, serving the country is the honor of every son and daughter of China. I’ll continue to do my best! Excuse me for now.”

“Wait!”

Just as Zhao Qingfeng was turning to leave, Liu Zi suddenly thought of something and stopped him.
