"Where have you been, not even coming back for such a big event like the opening?"
Ling Zhenfei said patiently, "With you there, what do I have to worry about? Now that the resort is open, how's it going?"
Chen Qian chuckled and said, "Rooms are in high demand, and the attractions, including the hot springs, are getting great feedback. We already have bookings, especially for the underwater rooms, they're a hit!"
Ling Zhenfei finally felt relieved after hearing that and said, "I knew with you there, it would be fine."
Chen Qian said, "So of your friends ca to congratulate you, but since you're not here, make sure to call them and express your thanks when you have ti."
"Of course, don't worry about it."
The two chatted, and at that mont, many people, upon hearing that Ling Zhenfei was back, ca over to greet him, and he asked about their situations, paying particular attention to the winery and the ranch.
But everything was running smoothly, you can't rush things and beco successful overnight, so work must progress gradually.
Zhou Yun also ca, and upon seeing Ling Zhenfei, her face lit up with joy but then turned into anger, and she went straight back to her office.
After exchanging pleasantries, Ling Zhenfei went to Zhou Yun's office.
"Sister-in-law, why are you angry?"
Zhou Yun said, "How can I not be angry? You left before the New Year was even over, and only now have you returned. You didn't even call, and we were so worried when we couldn't reach you."
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I really had an urgent matter abroad, the signal was bad, that's why you couldn't reach , but I'm back now." Ling Zhenfei hastily explained to Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun said, "You make it sound so simple. Was it really that easy? Have we worried for nothing? Did you call Sister Liu? Do you know how worried both Sister Liu and Xiao Ke were?"
"I know, sister-in-law, I know I'm wrong. I'll definitely call them later to let them know."
Liu Bingying said, "There's also a girl nad Han Lian who's been looking for you. She said she had an appointnt with you but couldn't find you. Who is this Han Lian?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "She's a policewoman, don't worry about it, I'll call all of them later and make sure to apologize."
Zhou Yun said, "Zhenfei, can you let us know in advance where you're going next ti? You did tell this ti, but it was just too long."
"I got it, sister-in-law, it won't happen again."
After Ling Zhenfei repeatedly explained, Zhou Yun finally smiled through her tears. No matter how you look at it, Zhou Yun was concerned for Ling Zhenfei. The two were already inseparable.
Ling Zhenfei was naturally very happy to be back. The new year had already begun, making him feel a bit exhilarated.
Ling Zhenfei thought whether he should treat everyone to a al, as a boss, he should at least do sothing. However, Zhou Yun said that Chen Qian had already done that when they started work, so there was no need.
Having nothing much to do, Ling Zhenfei was delighted to take it easy for a while, rightfully so, as he needed to take good care of his injuries.
Ling Zhenfei casually made a call to Liu Bingying and Han Lian. Liu Bingying was thrilled to hear his voice, having been worried for a long ti.
Ling Zhenfei reassured Liu Bingying that nothing had happened, which was enough to make her happy.
Liu Bingying said she really liked Qinghe Village, and so did Xiao Ke. Even though it was a short ti, Xiao Ke had already beco friends with Chunyu.
Ling Zhenfei asked, "Sister, let ask you, do you want to go abroad for a trip?"
Liu Bingying seed a bit taken aback and asked, "What would we be going for? For a trip?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Sister, it's like this, now that we're together, I want to take responsibility. I know your thoughts, but this ti I accidentally beca a prince in Moergawa and got an island of my own. There are no monogamy constraints there. I want to give you a wedding."
Upon hearing this, Liu Bingying seed a bit overwheld, a bit nervous, and said excitedly, "Really? Is this alright? I'm not sure I'm ready."
Ling Zhenfei said, "It's fine. I'm just making a promise to you. Once the things in Huaxia are settled, I'll take you there. But just to let you in on a little secret, by that ti, it might not just be you getting married but also the princess of Moergawa."
"Princess! Are you saying you want both the princess and to marry you? Can I even match that status?" Liu Bingying was taken aback.
Ling Zhenfei said, "What's wrong with that? By then, even the princess will have to call you sister. It's settled."
Liu Bingying said, "It's enough that you have this intention, really, you don't have to do so much for ."
Ling Zhenfei said, "It's sothing I should do. Let's settle it. I'll hang up for now, I'll co to see you when I have the ti."
"Alright, don't do anything dangerous in the future. You're different now, let others handle things." Liu Bingying advised.
"I know, sister. Goodbye."
Ling Zhenfei hung up the phone and, after thinking for a mont, called Han Lian.
Han Lian quickly picked up, with an angry tone.
"Ah, Ling Zhenfei, you stood up and didn't even pick up the phone when I called. Was it on purpose?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "What do you an on purpose? You're a big police officer. Even if I stood soone up, I wouldn't dare stand you up. I really had sothing going on."
Han Lian, not buying it, said, "Having sothing going on? What kind of big deal could you have, saving the world?"
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Well, sothing like that. What are you up to?"
Han Lian said, "What else could I be doing? Just reviewing materials in the office?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Why so free this ti? That doesn't seem like your usual style."
Indeed, when one usually saw Han Lian, she was either on a mission or patrolling, rarely sitting in the office.
Han Lian said, "Don't ntion it. The captain isn't letting work or patrol duty now. He says it's to protect the recipient of first-class rit awards. I guess it'll be hard for to even touch a gun in the future. I should've stayed ho for two more days."
Ling Zhenfei said, "The captain's just looking out for you. Take this ti to rest; you might get back in Jianghu later on."
"Let's not talk about it. If you have ti, can you co accompany , go shopping, or watch a movie?"
"Sure, I'll co find you when I have the ti."
After a brief chat, they hung up, and then another call ca in. It turned out to be Chen Qian.
Ling Zhenfei imdiately answered the call, and on the other end, Chen Qian's anxious voice could be heard.
"Zhenfei, it's not good, sothing happened to my junior sister."
Chen Qian's junior sister was Lu Huanong. If sothing happened to her, it was definitely serious, as Ling Zhenfei was always aware of Lu Huanong's fragile health, which could deteriorate at any mont.
What Chen Qian said made Ling Zhenfei think of the worst-case scenario—could it be that Lu Huanong really couldn't hold on any longer?"
