Translator: Lordbluefire

When Jing Zhen called Shen Ruojing again, he heard a busy tone on the other end, indicating that Shen Ruojing was already on another call. This realization made Jing Zhen feel jealous and couldn’t help but say to Shen Qianhui, “She is getting married tomorrow, and it’s already late today. 1 wonder who she’s talking to on the phone.”

Shen Qianhui smiled and said, “I guess it’s Cichen.”

Being young and deeply in love, both of them were surely feeling excited about the wedding approaching.

Jing Zhen snorted, “From now on, Jingjing will be completely occupied by Cichen. I don’t understand why there’s anything left to say. It frustrates me that I can’t even warn Jingjing to be cautious around Cichen. What if he uses my technology for wrongdoing?”

Shen Qianhui looked at him and couldn’t help but say, “Enough with your mixed feelings. Since you gave the technology to Cichen, it means you trust him and have chosen him. Why do a good deed and then try to be a villain?”

Jing Zhen suddenly coughed, as if his innermost thoughts had been touched.

Shen Qianhui couldn’t help but ask, “Didn’t you say that no one would be given that technology? Why did you give it to Cichen?”

Jing Zhen fell silent for a moment, then looked at Shen Qianhui and said, “The technology itself is not wrong. It is an inevitable part of human development. So, that technology shouldn’t be buried with me in the grave.”

If the technology itself was flawed, he wouldn’t have developed it.

Shen Qianhui seemed to understand but not fully.

Jing Zhen explained calmly, “If that technology is released now, it would be like giving an infant an atomic bomb. The infant cannot control the atomic bomb and it would cause great harm. Therefore, it must wait until humanity reaches its prime before the technology is shared. I don’t know if future generations will be able to develop that technology again, but it was something 1 created throughout my life, and I don’t want it to be lost forever. I hope that someone can carry it forward and truly witness a new technological breakthrough for humanity.”

Shen Qianhui understood, “So, you chose Cichen because you know what kind of person he is, you trust his character, and believe he won’t misuse this technology or let your hard work go to waste.”

Jing Zhen nodded.

Shen Qianhui gave him a disdainful look, “Since you trust him, why do you need to badmouth him in front of Jingjing? Just let it be!”

Jing Zhen suddenly looked helpless, “Darling, are you tired of me?”

Shen Qianhui,”??”

Her tone immediately softened, “No, how could I be tired of you? I would never find you annoying.”

Jing Zhen’s face instantly changed from a sad expression to a smile. He stepped forward and hugged Shen Qianhui’s shoulders, saying, “I knew my wife is the best.”

Shen Qianhui,”…”

She leaned her head into Jing Zhen’s embrace.

Inside the room, it was warm and cozy, causing even the moon in the sky to shyly hide behind the clouds. It peeked out from the thinning clouds, secretly observing the daughter of the Shen family in the capital of China.

At this moment, Shen Ruojing had no idea that her parents in Country A were flirting with each other again.

Even if she knew, she had long become accustomed to it.

She was currently answering a call from Chu Cichen.

In the phone call, the man spoke in a low voice, “Can you go out now?”

Shen Ruojing hesitated slightly, “At this hour?”

It was already 11 p.m.

But Chu Cichen replied, “Yes.”

“Okay.”

Shen Ruojing hung up the phone, immediately changed into a piece of clothing, and then headed out.

Just as she came downstairs, she saw Shen Yuansong sitting in the living room. Shen Ruojing couldn’t help but ask, “Grandfather, are you still awake?”

Shen Yuansong looked at her and said, “I’m getting old, 1 sleep less. Why are you going out so late?”

“Well, 1 have something to do.” Shen Ruojing calmly replied, walking up to Shen Yuansong, “Are you having trouble sleeping?”

Shen Yuansong smiled, “I was just thinking, tomorrow you’re getting married. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

1 wonder what it was like when your mother got married. And your grandmother, she never had a wedding like this in her lifetime, right?”

The old man was thinking about the deceased grandmother and the daughter who never received paternal love.

When people get old, they tend to have random thoughts.

Suddenly, Shen Ruojing took out a silver needle from her pocket and smiled, “For tomorrow’s wedding, you still need to take on the role of a father. So, Grandfather, let me give you two acupuncture needles to ensure you sleep well tonight.”

Shen Yuansong laughed, “Sure, I’ve heard that our Jingjing is a divine doctor. Today, let this old man try it out.”

Shen Ruojing took out a disposable alcohol swab that she had prepared, wiped the needle tip, and then inserted it into several acupoints on Shen Yuansong’s head. Shen Yuansong’s head instantly became a row of hedgehogs.

After five minutes, the old man began to yawn.

After collecting the needles, Shen Ruojing gently touched his head and helped him lie down on the sofa before standing up and leaving.

Although it was a hot summer, the weather was still cool late at night.

The cool breeze brushed against her, calming Shen Ruojing’s anxious heart.

She walked slowly to the entrance of the house and saw a black car parked at the door. Chu Cichen’s slender figure stood quietly under the streetlamp.

The streetlamp cast a long shadow on him.

The night was quiet, and he looked very lonely..
