"This..." Fu Xianlin hesitated, he had never taken an apprentice before!

Yu Sangwan looked at Le Zheng, also helping, "Dad, you should accept Le Zheng!"

Fu Xianlin thought for a moment, Le Zheng was indeed honest and straightforward, not to mention he had helped his daughter several times, "Alright! From today on, you are my first and last disciple! But, let me make it clear, following me means no fear of hardship!"

"Haha!" Le Zhengsheng laughed heartily, already bowing his head, "Thank you, Master!"

Good wine was brought up, and the dining table became lively.

Yu Sangwan, not in good health, sat for a while after eating and was helped upstairs by the nurse.

"Stop looking." Fu Xianlin patted Le Zhengsheng’s shoulder, smiling, "She’s already in the room, can’t see anymore..."

Le Zhengsheng felt embarrassed, "Master, I wasn’t looking."

"Come on!" Fu Xianlin shook his head, completely disregarding him, "How old are you? Hiding things from me? If it weren’t for my daughter, would you have come to such a tough place? The Lezheng family only has you as the heir!"

Le Zhengsheng simply didn’t hide it anymore, "Master, I... want to be good to Wanwan."

Fu Xianlin was moved by his honesty, not speaking for a long time. He raised his glass to toast him, "Come, drink..."

"Yes." Le Zhengsheng quickly raised his glass.

"Sigh..." Fu Xianlin drank it all in one go, frowned and sighed, "This matter, let’s talk about it after the baby is born! I’m really worried, Wanwan might not make it..."

Le Zhengsheng gritted his teeth, firmly said, "She will! Wanwan will be fine."

Outside the window, the wind howled, but inside the house was warm and cozy. As the glasses emptied, there was naturally someone to refill them... In April, as spring blooms.

At the entrance of the surgical ward in the Central Obstetrics Hospital, Le Zhengsheng and Fu Xianlin were anxiously waiting.

Fu Xianlin frowned, waved at Le Zhengsheng who was pacing back and forth, "Le Zheng, stop pacing! You’re making me even more anxious..."

"Oh." Le Zhengsheng was startled, quickly stood still, wiping his sweaty palms on his sides.

The door to the operating room suddenly opened, and Le Zheng dashed over like lightning, "Doctor, is the baby born?"

The doctor frowned at him, "How could it be so quick? Are you the father of the child?"

"..." Le Zhengsheng was stunned, he wished he could nod, but sadly he wasn’t.

Fu Xianlin stood up, walked over, "I’m the child’s grandfather, the patient is my daughter."

"I see..." The doctor frowned, "Is the child’s father not here?"

Fu Xianlin and Le Zhengsheng looked at each other, sighed, "The child’s father has... already passed away."

"..." The doctor was startled, then gestured to Fu Xianlin, "Grandfather, please come in for a talk... The patient is in a very critical condition during surgery! As you all know, her condition is really not suitable for pregnancy..."

Le Zhengsheng became agitated, "Explain it simply, damn it! What’s wrong with Wanwan?"

"Severe hemorrhage..." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"What? What should we do now?" Le Zhengsheng rolled up his sleeves, his face turning red as if ready to fight, "Do you need blood? I’m O-positive, I can do it! I’m healthy, you can take as much as you need from me..."

"Sir, please calm down... She’s being resuscitated inside, we have a central blood bank! However, the situation is critical, and we need a family member to sign the informed consent form."

Fu Xianlin’s face turned pale, finally hearing these words from the doctor’s mouth. He swallowed, speaking with difficulty, "...Alright, I’ll sign."

At this moment, Holy City was full of prosperity.

At the Guan Chao Mansion, an inauguration ceremony was taking place.

Lu Jinxuan... no, he should be Helian Si, was dressed in a black Western-style uniform with a logo embroidered on his chest. That logo, Yu Sangwan had actually seen it once in Antarctica. However, at that time, Lu Jinxuan had told her... it was the logo of the clothing manufacturer.

In fact, that was the logo of the ruler of Guan Chao.

The former president Helian Wei announced his abdication, with his son Helian Si succeeding him in the position, officially assuming the presidency!

The entire event lasted a whole day, with a tightly packed schedule. Throughout, Helian Si maintained a stoic expression, only slightly curling his lips at the end of the inauguration speech... The official media broadcasted it live, and as soon as the news spread, various speculations emerged.

"This Helian Si, he’s really young! Is he really old Helian’s son?"

"Hey, I’ve seen Lu Jinxuan before! Helian Si, it turns out, is Lu Jinxuan’s uncle! Damn, they look so alike!"

"Look at his expressionless face, another strong-handed leader!"

"..."

The solemn and formal ceremony was followed by a banquet. Guan Chao Mansion was bustling, with Helian Wei and Helian Si as the stars of the event. Although Helian Wei had stepped down, you couldn’t see a trace of loneliness on his face, after all, it was his son who succeeded him.

Helian Shuang changed her dress, raised her glass and walked over, looking at Helian Si, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

"Elder sister." Helian Si bowed slightly, adhering to etiquette.

"...Ah." Helian Shuang choked as she nodded, still not accustomed to being called ’elder sister’ after all these months.

Helian Si, naturally clueless, pointed to the ladies’ area, "Since your brother is unmarried, I’ll have to rely on you to entertain the ladies... Thank you, elder sister."

"What are you saying? It’s only right for family." Helian Shuang forced a smile, lifting the hem of her dress, "I’ll head over, such an important day shouldn’t ignore the ladies and young misses..."

"Thank you, elder sister."

Amidst the elegance and luxury, it was truly a scene of thriving splendor...

After finishing his duties, while walking to the inner courtyard, it was nearly midnight.

Slightly tipsy, Helian Si led the way, followed closely by the Personal Guard, closest to him was his Secretary-General. "Guanshen..." Helian Si suddenly stopped, looking at the Secretary-General, squinting slightly, "What’s your last name?"

"Uh?" The Secretary-General was taken aback, smiling as he replied, "My last name is Ou, did you forget?"

Helian Si frowned, said in a low voice, "No, I always thought, you should be surnamed... Tang."

"This..." Ou Guanshen was stunned, he naturally knew that Lu Jinxuan’s former close aide was Tang Yueze. Being a smart person, he quickly laughed, "Well then, if you like that, Mr. President, I’ll go and change my surname to Tang tomorrow!"

"Tch." Helian Si chuckled lightly, "Alright... I was just saying, let’s go!"

Entering the inner courtyard, Helian Si stopped once more.

"Mr. President?" Ou Guanshen was puzzled.

"..." Helian Si raised his hand, pointing to the vacant spot in the yard, asking, "Doesn’t it look bad with nothing there..."

"Yes." Ou Guanshen nodded, "We just tidied it up a couple of days ago, planning to plant some trees..."

"Mm." Helian Si nodded slightly, instructed plainly, "Plant a peach grove there."

"..." Ou Guanshen was startled, honestly, taken aback.

There had originally been a peach grove here. Helian Wei, concerned that Helian Si might recall something by frequently seeing it, had ordered the peach trees to be removed. But now, Helian Si wanted to plant them again?

He was still dazed, only to hear Helian Si adding, "This area is small; extend it on both sides and plant peach trees everywhere."

Ou Guanshen smiled, "Do you really like peach trees?"

"...Um." Helian Si paused, slightly frowning, "You could say that! Make sure they remember it."

"Yes."
