“I haven’t seen you in a long time. Seems like you lost some weight? You seem more energized now.” Chen Qing welcomed Ren Baqian with a wide smile. Previously, the two of them video called each other occasionally, so Chen Qing knew the kind of physique Ren Baqian had back then.
“And this is?” Chen Qing looked slightly puzzled as he glanced at the delicate-looking woman with glasses behind Ren Baqian.
This wasn’t the bride!
“My… wife’s younger sister…!” Ren Baqian hesitated for some time before replying. The empress was afraid that Ren Baqian was up to no good again and got him a personal bodyguard this time around.
“If I’m ever single, you must introduce your sister-in-law to me!” Chen Qing laughed heartily. “Such a pity that my son is already 10 years old.”
“Let’s sit down and have a chat.” Ren Baqian smiled.
As both of them sat down, Ren Baiqan turned to look at Xin Zhe. He then pointed to the side and said, “Don’t stand behind me. Relax.”
This was a very quiet bar with only a few other people around. An old ballad was playing in the bar, and it made everyone reminisce about the past.
“I dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword, but I canceled my plan because I was too fat…”
Listening to this sentence made them felt emotional.
“Get me a beer and get her a fruit juice.”
It had been a long time since Ren Baqian last drank beer.
Chen Qing took a closer look at Ren Baqian and sighed, saying, “Time flies. My son is already 10 years old, but it seems like you are still the same.”
“This isn’t considered a big change?” Ren Baqian touched his face as well as that shiny bald head of his. Looking back, he used to be a young and charming man!
“Time is really like a butcher’s knife!”
“Come on! You have changed a lot, but look at your face— there isn’t any trace of aging. Look at all my wrinkles.” Chen Qing scowled.
12 years had passed on Earth, but Ren Baqian only experienced six years in Dayao.
“Where’s Jiang Nan?” Ren Baqian asked.
“She’s at home with our son and can only come over tomorrow morning.”
“This is too realistic…” Ren Baqian as somewhat speechless.
The two then chatted for a long time and lamented over the time that had passed. As a matter of fact, it was Chen Qing who was lamenting for the majority of the time. Ren Baqian didn’t feel much. After all, he only went through six years, and during this period, many things happened after one another; everything in Dayao, the war with Great Xia, pacifying the people from Tianjing Basin, and traveling into the Sixty Thousand Mountains. He didn’t even have time to think of aging.
Most importantly, he only got married recently, unlike Chen Qing, who had a 10 year old son.
After catching up with Chen Qing about his personal stuff, Chen Qing then went on to talk about the medicinal factory.
The leukemia medicines had already been put on the market. Just like their hangover medicine, once they were launched, they occupied a large share of the market regardless of whether it was local or global.
However, there were knockoffs of the hangover medicine that also used the green vine. This occurrence was something that was unavoidable.
In addition to this, the black mud cream was undergoing clinical trials, and its name had been changed to black jade intermittent cream. A huge sum of money had also been paid to secure this name.
The next step was to expand the medicinal factory and the laboratory.
Today, their medicinal factory and laboratory were well-known in the nation. The Chen Family also took advantage of this opportunity and made lots of money through social connections.
Ren Baqian pondered for a while before saying, “Next time around, I’ll pass you some other medicinal herbs and prescriptions. Do some research on them.”
The medicinal factory and laboratory could now provide dividends of 200 to 300 million yuan yearly, which was their biggest source of income besides “interest-free and non-term loans.” There were still a lot of medicines with peculiar healing abilities back in Dayao, and if he took a few more back to Earth for manufacturing, it would take the medicinal factory to an even higher level.
The two of them talked until late into the night, and it was unknown when the fruit juice in Xin Zhe’s cup became beer.
Her face was flushed, and her vision was getting blurry.
Ren Baqian had no choice but to bring Xin Zhe back.
If he were to stay out any longer, he would have to carry her back.
Nothing happened along the way. However, when the both of them entered the elevator, Xin Zhe finally asked a question that she had been longing to ask.
“Yes?” Ren Baqian turned to look at her.
As if it were the work of demons and gods, Xin Zhe blurted out, “Why’s your head so shiny?”
Ren Baqian was dumbfounded.
Looking at the perplexed gaze behind Xin Zhe’s glasses, Ren Baqian uttered the sentence, “Probably generated by the power of love!”
Ren Baqian pondered for a while. If it wasn’t for Her Majesty, he wouldn’t have practiced those martial arts. Otherwise, why would his head be so shiny? It was all because of love!
Xin Zhe blinked a few times, suppressed her mood, and asked softly, “What about… the experiment from before? Are we still continuing it?”
Ren Baqian was startled when he heard Xin Zhe’s tone and words.
Why did she bring this up?
“Of course…” Ren Baqian wanted to say that he wouldn’t do it, but after seeing Xin Zhe’s mesmerizing gaze, he couldn’t bring himself to say no.
“You enjoyed the electric shock experiment?” Those memories appeared in Ren Baqian’s mind subconsciously. It was as if he was watching a movie in slow motion.
Xin Zhe thought for a while before answering truthfully, “I’m somewhat interested… It was fascinating! That experiment made me feel something that I have never felt before.”
Certainly, Ren Baqian knew that she had never felt it before. However, it was impossible for him to explain it to Xin Zhe.
“We’ll definitely proceed with the experiment. I’ll let you know when the time comes,” Ren Baqian answered.
“Alright!” Xin Zhe responded.
Ren Baqian then rubbed his temples.
Xin Zhe was always calm and cool. Never did he expect that she was actually a masochist.
Just like Ning Caichen.
Forget it! He would regard it as helping others!
There was no need to praise him at all.
…
The next day was the wedding. Ren Baqian was manipulated like a puppet for a long time before he went to fetch the bride.
“Nervous?” Ren Wannian smiled just as he got out of the car.
Ren Baqian casually gave him a light smack to the head.
He wasn’t nervous. Instead, he felt that it was a rather fresh experience.
Even though this was his second time getting married, he was the one who had been fetched the previous time.
Ren Baqian turned around and saw Chen Qing, Ren Wannian, and Ding Jie as well as 10 winged cavalry warriors. He could finally nod his head in contentment.
“Let’s go upstairs!”
When he reached the highest floor, Ren Baqian knocked on the door. However, he didn’t receive any response.
Ren Baqian turned the door knob but the room was locked.
“Eh, do I have to break down the door?” Ren Baqian laughed.
Under normal circumstances, he should be using a red packet to knock on the door, right?
However, a red packet wouldn’t work since Qing Yuan and Hong Luan were the ones inside.
Ren Baqian immediately took out a bag from the back of his waist and shouted, “Who wants White Rabbit Creamy Candies?”
The photographers that were hired from the wedding company trembled. It was the first time they had witnessed a groom hang a bag of White Rabbit Creamy Candies from his waist!
