244, two hundred and forty-four
Old Jack is the keeper of the Bai family cemetery. His surname is actually Bai, but he already belongs to a relatively remote side branch. This can be seen from his appearance that he has no trace of Chinese ancestry. Because of his ability
He is mediocre and not appreciated by his family.
But he doesn't care much about this. He is already his age and alone. As long as the price of whiskey in the bar does not increase, he has no complaints about life.
Today was a little different. Old Jack received a communication from the Bai family early in the morning.
"Yes, I understand." Old Jack suddenly sobered up and said flatteringly: "Don't worry, I will handle it properly."
After ending the terminal communication, Old Jack swept the wine glass aside, but he couldn't drink any more. Someone big would come.
In the afternoon, the dark clouds squeezed each other in the misty rain, and the air was filled with the fresh smell of water vapor.
There was a knock on the window of old Jack's cabin.
"Excuse me, Ms. Bai Junyi..." Before Lu Xiao could finish his words, Old Jack had already stood up quickly, put on his raincoat and said, "I'll take you there."
Old Jack came out of his cabin and found that there was another person standing behind the alpha, with a bouquet of white lilies lying quietly in his arms.
Seeing him looking at him and giving him a polite smile, old Jack suddenly took a breath. This must be too beautiful.
In a place like this, even a simple smile can make people lose their minds...
Old Jack didn't dare to look anymore and led the way. The nerves in his brain that had been eroded by alcohol for many years resumed functioning. He was thinking wildly that he was a star, right? Where had he seen it...
Lu Xiao held an umbrella for Ling Cen. Seeing that his face was a little pale, he whispered with some concern: "Are you okay?"
As he spoke, he quietly held the umbrella that both of them held, and tilted it far toward the inside of Ling Cen, ensuring that he was tucked under the umbrella. However, his clothes on the outside shoulder were quickly soaked by the misty rain.
Ling Cen shook his head blankly and walked forward behind the tomb guard.
The Bai family is a well-known local family. The Bai family cemetery is so grand that it occupies a whole mountain. Countless Bai family members rest here. The rain has not stopped yet, and it hits the ground with a pitter-patter sound, making a crisp sound like beating knots.
There are specks of moss growing on the bluestone pavement.
Lu Xiao changed his hand to hold the umbrella, and used the other hand to support his slightly clumsy partner as he climbed the steps.
Ling Cen lowered his head slightly, Lu Xiao's strong big hand held his arm, and his heart felt inexplicably calmer.
"This is it." Old Jack took them there, turned around, looked at their faces, and said at the right time: "Then I'll go back first."
"Thank you." Lu Xiao nodded.
Old Jack smiled and waved his hand, and went back along the bluestone steps, but he was shocked in his heart. He remembered who this alpha was. Wasn't this a general who was decorated after the Zerg War?
He originally belonged to the Free Federation, so why did he come to their Ike Federation?
Ling Cen didn't know this. As soon as Old Jack left, he already bent down and looked straight at the tombstone.
"Mother..." Ling Cen's voice was a little hoarse, and he stretched out his hand and rubbed the scratches on it with his fingertips.
His mother kept the place very neatly. It seemed that her aunt often sent people over to pay homage.
Ling Cen put down the bouquet and didn't speak for a long time.
He didn't know what to say. Too many things had happened over the years, and he didn't know where to start.
"Don't worry about me, I'm... living a good life now." Ling Cen slowly knelt down and said softly. His mother made a wrong decision emotionally, but she was undoubtedly a good mother. At the last moment of her life, she was still trying.
Protect him.
"I'm married and have children." Ling Cen tried his best to change his voice to a relaxed voice and whispered: "The older one is an alpha and naughty, and the younger one is an omega... His name is Allen, and he looks a bit like you."
"My friend also came to see you. He is a soldier, a very good alpha, and very kind to me, Lu Xiao?" Ling Cen tilted his head slightly.
"Mom." Lu Xiao didn't quite understand why Ling Cen was kneeling in the dusty muddy water, but he still followed his example and bent his knees. His voice changed slightly and he used a more intimate title.
Ling Cen lost control of his emotions when he heard him call him mom. He turned his head to avoid letting Lu Xiao see him. It was difficult for him to control his emotions today.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry that it took me so long to come see you." Ling Cen couldn't help but sob.
After his mother passed away, he had to abandon all emotions in order not to be angered by Li Ting and avoid being beaten by Ling Ping. He had to numb himself to survive...
Later, when he no longer had to worry about food and clothing, he worked hard to climb up. He felt disgusted by what he had done, and he had no face to see his mother.
After his mother was taken to the Ike Federation by his aunt, across the interstellar border, as a jun/subordinate, it was even more difficult for him to come over once.
If it wasn't for Lu Xiao's plan, he didn't know when he would be able to come.
The more Ling Cen thought about this, the deeper he became disgusted with himself. He really couldn't be called filial. It took him two lifetimes to face his mother.
Lu Xiao silently put his arm around Ling Cen's shoulders.
The rain stopped and Lu Xiao put away his umbrella.
Ling Cen Xuxu talked about what happened in the past few years without mentioning Ling Ping at all. He didn't want to tell his mother how miserable Ling Ping's life was. The further away such people are from their lives, the better.
"Mom... I miss you so much." Ling Cen whispered: "I became an eminent person myself and realized how sad I was when you left me." I grew up without your care, so I left.
There have been many detours.
"But you don't have to worry about me now. That child has grown up. He can take care of himself, and his lover is also very kind to him."
Ling Cen paused slightly and said with a smile: "I can't find a better lover than him. He is the best alpha in the Federation. You can rest assured." Although they are matched for marriage, they have no chance to get their mother's.
Blessings, but if she knew, she would definitely be very satisfied with Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao has been quietly staying with Ling Cen, listening to him talk about how he makes money by filming, has his own studio, and won the best actor award.
It is said that Little Rose is naughty at home, strong and brave in the form of a wolf, and has a pair of broad wings that inherit the blood of the Bai family.
Talk about how you take care of him in every aspect of your life.
Lu Xiao was even a little confused. He didn't remember doing this. It was just what couples should do.
Ling Cen slowly stopped talking until his mouth went dry.
Lu Xiao said gently: "She will be very happy to hear it."
Ling Cen was silent for a long time before whispering: "I don't want her to hear it."
"I hope she knows I'm okay."
"I hope she has left early and doesn't have to worry about me." The Ike Federation believes that after leaving, the soul will freely roam the stars.
Ling Cen wiped the tombstone and said softly: "I will come see you again when I have time."
It has cleared up after the rain, and the water vapor has gradually evaporated where the sun shines. If you agree, I would like to hold a wedding with him, Lu Xiao said softly.
He insisted on bringing Ling Cen here because he had to tell Lu Xiao's mother personally and ask for her permission.
Lu Xiao bowed deeply to the tombstone and stood up after a few seconds.
He will always be kind to Ling Cen, and he will use his life to protect this promise.
In front of Ling Cen's mother, Lu Xiao solemnly said in his heart.
Then he took two quick steps to catch up with Ling Cen, and walked side by side with him down the mountain along the same path. After walking for a while, he could already see the scenery outside. Ling Cen said slowly: "I hope she leaves because I don't want her to know.
, her child has become exactly like Ling Ping along the way." Chasing fame and fortune.
"I don't want her to know what I've done."
Lu Xiao put his arms around his partner's shoulders and whispered: "You are not wrong, and she will not blame you."
"Yes." Ling Cen responded in a very soft voice, and the heavy burden in his heart slowly dropped.
The two of them walked down the mountain, and there was already an extended suspension car waiting at the door.
"Ling Cen?" The sturdy alpha leaning on the front of the car saw them coming out, got up from the car, took two steps forward and asked.
"I am, you..." Ling Cen was a little confused.
"I am your cousin Bai Zingli. Come with me. Go home and change your clothes first."
(For him, the real question is what happened to He Sheng behind Du Ruo? Is it so unreliable after the high-level reorganization... He is indeed married. It is no longer safe to take the "male god" route and become a flower.
The dangerous tower in the sky is decorated with brocade and burning oil.
He Sheng chose someone else, continued on this route, and threw him aside. He had expected it, but the top people in the senior management should know very well who his husband was. How could they not give in, but instead tightened their grip on him?
force.
Ling Cen pondered for a moment, and seemed to be on guard.
"Mr. Ling, we can continue." The staff member came in and said with a smile.
"Okay." Haili stood up and responded, her attitude impeccable, if you didn't see the blisters on the corners of her lips reflecting the shimmer in the sun.
For this upgraded terminal advertisement that is about to be put on the market, Du Ruo was secretly trying to suppress him during the whole filming. After Chen Li and Haili had communicated with the docking staff, they both folded their arms in front of their chests, took two steps back, and concealed themselves.
Silent in the corner.
Chen Li had a perfect smile. She was very satisfied with Du Ruo's performance. Seeing Du Ruo moving slightly and quietly occupying a better position, she nodded in agreement, and her smile quietly grew bigger.
He Sheng conveyed the instructions to her. Ling Cen was already married. He might be pregnant and return home before the end of the contract. Then the idol route controlled by He Sheng would not be sustainable. They must rush to get Ling Cen before he leaves.
The only remaining value in him was squeezed out.
All film and television, advertising and even variety show invitations have to be directed to Du Ruo, and the event will give her full support. She also asked Ling Cen who his marriage partner was? Will it be very powerful and affect their plans.
Chen Li recalled her direct conversation with Hesheng's president, her expression slightly empty...
The boss told her that Ling Cen's family was indeed very capable. Danas had even secretly helped Ling Cen suppress a few women a few days ago, most likely at the behest of his husband's family.
