614: I never want you to suffer any injustice.

After returning home, Xiao Niannian led Lu Jing into the courtyard.

Hearing a dog bark, Xiao Niannian looked over.

She saw a German Shepherd happily running out.

When did the family get a dog?

Xiao Niannian stroked its head.

"Hello, little one."

The German Shepherd wagged its tail at Xiao Niannian.

Xiao Niannian heard it bark.

"Hello, my name is Laifu."

Laifu?

What a good name.

Xiao Niannian called out.

"Laifu."

Lu Jing carried several bags of luggage, watching Niannian in front of him leading the dog into the house.

Hearing the barking, the auntie in the house knew someone had arrived, opened the door, and seeing Xiao Niannian back, happily said,

"Old Master, Old Madam, Niannian is back."

Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu heard that their Granddaughter was back and happily stood up.

"Grandparents."

"Precious is back!"

"Precious, why didn't you call your Grandparents when you came back? We would have picked you up."

Xiao Niannian smiled and hugged her Grandparents.

"I wanted to give Grandparents a surprise."

Lu Jing watched Niannian coaxing Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu; the elders were overjoyed to hear this.

"Next time you come back, you must tell your Grandparents in advance, and we'll pick you up."

"Okay."

Grandma Gu looked at her Granddaughter, and after a while, asked,

"You haven't been injured these past few months, have you?"

"No injuries. I've mostly been training recently, not many missions."

Hearing this and seeing her Granddaughter's rosy complexion, Grandma Gu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu."

Grandpa Gu saw Lu Jing and greeted him.

"Xiao Jing, please sit."

Lu Jing sat on the sofa, his gaze fixed on Niannian.

Old Master Gu looked at Lu Jing. He had agreed to Lu Jing and his Granddaughter's marriage application report. Now they must have received that marriage application report.

When they returned this time, Lu Jing and his Granddaughter would definitely get their marriage certificate.

"Have you chosen a wedding date?"

Hearing Grandpa Gu's words, Lu Jing sat up straight and replied,

"Replying to Grandpa Gu, we haven't chosen yet. We do intend to get our marriage certificate this time, but the date for that will still depend on Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu's wishes."

Hearing this, Old Master Gu was very satisfied and turned to Grandma Gu, saying,

"Since that's the case, then we'll carefully pick a date for you."

Grandpa Gu thought about their vacation time and asked again,

"How many days of vacation do you have?"

"Fifteen days."

What?

Only fifteen days of vacation?

He had originally thought they would have a month's vacation.

Then they would have to look at the time carefully; either the twenty-eighth of the lunar calendar, or the sixth or eighth day of the first lunar month... Grandma Gu heard this and looked at her Granddaughter with gentle eyes.

In these past few months, Brother Lu and Sister-in-law Lu had visited the house many times, all discussing the two children getting their marriage certificate. As for holding the wedding, that would have to wait.

The old couple also knew about Niannian's mother, and they knew that since Hong Kong City had not yet returned, there were still some hidden dangers in many matters.

So what did it matter if the wedding was delayed for another two or three years?

Once the two children had their wedding, their two families would become even closer.

Grandma Gu looked at the two children with relief. She had always wanted Xiao Jing to be her Granddaughter's husband, and now her wish was finally coming true.

"Xiao Jing, eat at home before you go back."

"Okay."

"Follow me to the study."

Grandpa Gu began asking Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian some questions.

Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian answered.

Grandpa was an Old Chief; although he had retired these past few years, his influence was still very great.

Many times, the Commanders above would also call to solicit the opinions of the Old Comrades.

When it was almost time for dinner, Chief Gu returned home.

He had been home these past few days.

However, he would be on duty in the Military Unit during the New Year holidays.

"Uncle Gu."

"Dad."

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Chief Gu hummed in acknowledgment, his expression somewhat cold.

Hearing his daughter's voice, Chief Gu instantly changed to a gentle smile.

"Precious is back. You've gotten thinner again this time. You must eat more and replenish yourself while you're home."

Hearing her father's words, Xiao Niannian nodded.

"Okay."

Chief Gu looked at Lu Jing, his eyes full of scrutiny.

Although he agreed to them getting their marriage certificate, the wedding would have to wait until his wife could return and openly attend the wedding before it could be held.

He still regretted it somewhat; how good it would have been if he had found his daughter earlier.

He had felt very guilty towards his daughter all these years, and also his wife. His wife was currently in Hong Kong City, and her attitude towards him could only be described as slightly better than a stranger's; only when their children were mentioned would her attitude towards him improve slightly.

But it didn't matter, he had their children in his hands, and his daughter would help him too.

"Follow me into the study."

Chief Gu called Lu Jing.

After eating at the Gu Family, Lu Jing returned to the Lu Family.

"Grandparents."

Seeing their Eldest Grandson, Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu were also very happy.

"You came back after eating at the Gu Family?"

"Yes."

"Did Old Man Gu say anything today?"

Hearing his Grandpa's words, Lu Jing said with a smile,

"Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu said they would pick a good day for Niannian and me to get our marriage certificate."

"Really?"

Grandpa Lu heard this and exclaimed happily.

"This is truly wonderful."

Grandpa Lu burst into laughter.

He had approached Old Man Gu many times before, but Old Man Gu hadn't relented.

He had even considered giving Old Man Gu his treasured chess set, and a pair of wines he had cherished for many years, to make Old Man Gu change his mind.

Unexpectedly, his Eldest Grandson had managed to win over Old Man Gu himself.

"This is truly wonderful."

Grandma Lu was also very happy.

"Although it's just getting the marriage certificate, we must take it very seriously. You tell your Grandparents in advance, and our two families will have a good meal together..."

Grandma Lu had already started preparing the menu.

"I'll go get paper and a pen, and we'll prepare the menu. Xiao Jing, call your mother and ask her to take some time off to come back..."

"Okay."

Normally, Grandma Lu and the others were very particular about rules, never being late or leaving early, and rarely taking leave. But this time was different; they had to prepare well.

Chief Gu also called his daughter into his study.

"My daughter."

Chief Gu looked at his daughter. He had missed the most important twenty years of his daughter's life, and no matter how hard he tried to compensate in this lifetime, he could never truly make up for it. Since it was his daughter's choice, he respected her decision.

"You chose Lu Jing, and Dad respects your choice, but at any time, Dad doesn't want you to suffer any grievances..."

Hearing her father's words, Xiao Niannian's eyes reddened.

"Thank you, Dad."

Xiao Niannian stepped forward and hugged Chief Gu.

After being hugged by his daughter, Chief Gu's eyes also reddened.

For so many years, he had imagined what it would be like if his wife and daughter had grown up by his side, then he could hold his wife's hand and hug his daughter anytime...
