Chapter 184
After abstaining for so long, the ravenous wolf was not easily sated.
Although Luo Ge's body had long since recovered thanks to the spring water's healing properties, Gu Jinchen had been patiently restraining himself out of concern for her health, waiting until the end of her postpartum recovery period.
Over fifty days, nearly two months - once again he had endured for a long time.
Once he finally let loose, there was no holding back.
Poor Luo Ge's delicate frame suffered for it - she couldn't get out of bed until well past noon.
Not wanting his wife to endure the pain of childbirth again, he had already had Doctor Ming perform a "drastic procedure" on him.
To be extra safe, they also used some (ancient version) condoms obtained from the Luo Family Medical Clinic.
Fortunately, even with these precautions, it didn't hinder his performance.
"Darling, the baby is hungry," the man said.
Hearing this, Luo Ge couldn't help but glare at him.
"Then why are you stealing the baby's food?"
"I just... couldn't help myself." Hearing his wife's words, Gu Jinchen rubbed his nose sheepishly and lowered his head to reply meekly.
His wife now was different from before, truly different.
He really loved it, even if he couldn't control himself when competing with the baby for food...
Hearing him say this, Luo Ge's face flushed with embarrassment as she shot him another glance, taking little Ziqin from his arms.
"Call Ms. Mei for Xiao Chen and Ran."
With her milk stolen, now that she had fed Ziqin, feeding one more would probably leave her only half full.
"Alright." Gu Jinchen, having done wrong, was exceptionally obedient.
...After bringing Mei Yun over, Gu Jinchen also returned with some news.
"Elder Mr. Xu and the children have returned. They say they'll be leaving the village in a few days and have come to say goodbye."
Hearing this, Luo Ge paused, then nodded.
"Alright, you go attend to them first. I'll be out in a moment."
She had heard about this from the older children earlier. Originally, Elder Mr. Xu and the others were supposed to leave a month ago, but they stayed longer for various reasons.
Now, it was something to be expected.
She just worried that the two little ones would cry again.
"Mm."
..............
"Elder Mr. Xu?"
"Young Lady Qian?"
As two well-known figures in the capital, Lady Qian and Elder Mr. Xu naturally knew each other.
Seeing each other in the living room, both Elder Mr. Xu and Lady Qian's group were surprised.
Lady Qian and her family rarely visited the village, and Elder Mr. Xu seldom left the school.
This meant that although they were in the same village, the two parties had never met, nor had they particularly inquired about each other's news.
And since Gu Family Village was just a remote little village, neither of them had expected to encounter the other here.
Moreover, because of Luo Ge's postpartum confinement, one party wanted to take care of their daughter carefully, while the other didn't want to intrude.
So naturally, there had been even fewer chances for them to meet.
After a lively chat, the two finally understood the situation.
"So that's how it is. What a remarkable coincidence," Elder Mr. Xu said, smiling at Lady Qian.
Lady Qian's grandfather was a predecessor whom Elder Mr. Xu greatly admired, and Lady Qian herself was a talented woman who could rival any man - a young lady whom all the young men in the capital wished to marry.
If he hadn't had a child so late in life, with his son born too late, he would have wanted Lady Qian as his daughter-in-law.
But unfortunately, the timing was off. He had a child late, and their children were more than ten years apart...
She was already at the age of discussing marriage when his boy was barely knee-high.
Alas...
"Speaking of which, this child does resemble you quite a bit - clever, quick-witted, and beautiful."
Although the two knew each other, it had been many years since Elder Mr. Xu had seen Lady Qian, and they had never had such close interactions before.
So naturally, he hadn't noticed the resemblance between Luo Ge and Lady Qian.
He truly hadn't expected that Luo Ge was actually Lady Qian's daughter.
But thinking of Luo Ge's intelligence, it was quite understandable.
"You flatter me, Elder Xu," Lady Qian said with a smile.
She likewise hadn't expected such a coincidence, hadn't expected Elder Xu to be here, and certainly hadn't expected Elder Mr. Xu to be the teacher of Mu, Yi, and the others.
But it must be said, hearing someone praise her daughter made her even happier than being praised herself.
Beside her, the father-son duo of Luo Juan and Luo Shiyan also looked proud upon hearing Elder Mr. Xu's words.
Gu Jinchen sat to the side, also pleased to hear his wife being praised. Seeing the elders chatting so happily, he didn't interject.
He just listened quietly.
Meanwhile, Yun Mu, Yun Yi, Little Zhen Heng, Little Yi Chen, and the other little ones had already started playing off to the side.
When Luo Ge finished feeding the children and came over, this was the scene she encountered.
After a brief exchange of greetings, she joined Gu Jinchen and Luo Shiyan in quietly listening to the elders reminisce about the past.
Parting today, not knowing when they would meet again, it was only natural to sit down for a meal together.
This evening's meal was both a reunion of old friends and a farewell dinner.
To bid farewell to their teacher, our Tie Dan Little Yunan naturally couldn't be absent.
Since it was all their own people, they also invited Wang Sister-In-Law, Wang Big Brother, and the others.
...At first, everything was fine, but as the meal was coming to an end, the group of little ones started tearing up.
"Big Brother Yun Mu, Big Brother Yun Yi, Big Brother Yun Yan, I don't want you to go," Little Yi Chen said, hugging the brothers with tears in his eyes.
"We'll see each other again in the future."
The two brothers responded, but their eyes had already reddened.
Yun Yan, as the oldest brother, silently hugged his younger brothers without a word, but he had already started choking up.
Perhaps infected by his little friends' emotions, Little Zhen Heng's eyes also reddened as he sniffled.
It must be said, seeing this bunch of little ones hugging and crying was quite touching.
