Two middle-aged men walked in arm-in-arm, and An Ruoqing and Xin Yu, who were following behind, couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Several people entered the hall together and sat down on the sofa. On the coffee table were the tea and snacks that the butler had previously prepared.

An Ruoqing touched the teapot and saw that the water was already a little warm, so she asked the housekeeper to bring a new one.

Then he looked at Zheng Hongan and asked with concern: "Hongan, have you eaten?"

Zheng Hongan responded casually: "No, I just wanted to finish my work and come to Brother Xin's place to have a meal!"

After saying that, he belatedly thought that Xin Sheng and the others had come back from outside, "Have you already eaten?"

Without waiting for An Ruoqing to answer, Xin Sheng said nonchalantly: "I've eaten, but what does that matter? Hong An, I'll let the kitchen cook whatever you want to eat, and prepare a bottle of good wine! Let's talk about it!"

"

Hearing this, Zheng Hongan did not refuse and responded readily: "Okay, just listen to big brother!"

"Then I'll go get the kitchen ready." An Ruoqing said and stood up.

Zheng Hongan was not polite and said: "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Xin Sheng then ordered Xin Yu to go to the wine cellar to take out the fine wine he had collected, saying that he would drink with Zheng Hongan until he was drunk.

He is not a drinker, and rarely drinks alcohol, but today his good brother is back, and he must have a good time drinking with him!

Xin Yu could see that his father was really happy, so naturally he didn't want to dampen his interest.

"Uncle Zheng, then you and my dad can talk slowly."

After saying that, he went to get the wine himself.

Only Xin Sheng and Zheng Hongan were left in the living room.

The relationship between the two of them has developed from a superior-subordinate relationship to a heart-to-heart good brother, and they have been friends for most of their lives.

Nowadays, both of them hold important positions and have their own military affairs to deal with on weekdays. Therefore, although they maintain contact, they are not that close.

But this does not affect the relationship between the two at all.

Zheng Hongan personally made a cup of tea for Xin Sheng, "Brother, drink tea."

Xin Sheng saw that two of his favorite peppercorns had been specially placed inside, and he took it with a smile, "You remember my tea-drinking habit."

Zheng Hongan smiled and said nothing.

Xin Sheng used the lid of the cup to fiddle with the tea mixed with the aroma of pepper, and changed the subject, "Tell me, how have you been at sea these years?"

Zheng Hongan nodded.

Two middle-aged men were talking freely in the hall about their respective situations.

When the conversation was almost over, Xin Zhe came in from outside.

Seeing Zheng Hongan, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and saluted uprightly: "Hello, Commander Zheng!"

Zheng Hongan said with a smile on his face: "What is the name of this kid, commander? His name is Uncle Zheng!"

Xin Sheng on the side also waved his hand in agreement: "This is at home, just listen to your Uncle Zheng."

Xin Zhe hesitated for a moment, then changed his voice and shouted: "Uncle Zheng."

Zheng Hong'an nodded in agreement, then looked behind Xin Zhe, and asked casually as if he remembered something: "I heard that Bao'e is also in Kyoto, why haven't I seen her? I haven't seen that girl for more than ten years, so why don't I see her?"

Talking about the 18th transformation of women, I don’t know what they will look like..."

When they heard him mention Xin Bao'e, Xin Sheng and Xin Zhe's expressions were a little subtle, and even Xin Yu, who was about to come in with a drink, subconsciously stopped.

Since Zheng Hong'an didn't have a family and no heirs, it can be said that he had doted on the four children of the Xin family since childhood and treated them almost as his own children.

Especially since Xin Bao'e was the only girl among the four children, she received more love and care.

It's just that Zheng Hongan doesn't know what Xin Bao'e has done yet. If he knew, he doesn't know how he would feel...

After Zheng Hongan finished speaking, he still received no response. Looking at Xin Sheng's face, he realized the problem.

"Brother Xin, what's going on?" he asked doubtfully.
