Chapter 427: A beautiful marriage and love, never divorce in this life 5: The coming-of-age ceremony, he called Qi Qi lightly

Most of the time he returned to the capital, Long Ziqi was in a state of rest. After all, he had just finished his studies, and his tight schedule became loose and leisurely. In his spare time, he accompanied Gu Mingxi to take care of flowers and plants, either drinking tea, reading books, reading newspapers in his room, or understanding the current development of the capital, and preparing for entering the political arena in the future.

Long Lifei returned to Mingzheng's residence silently, and spent most of his time at home. He went out every evening and came back on time before dinner.

Long Pei's attitude towards Long Lifei was lukewarm in front of Long Ziqi, no different from ordinary people. She didn't know what it looked behind Long Ziqi.

Recently, the atmosphere at home is half happy and half solemn. What is happy is that they finally come back. What is so serious is that Long Pei and Long Lifei are secretly competing, as if they are in a stalemate over something.

Long Ziqi and Gu Mingxi were both ignorant of these, and let the two men make trouble.

At the end of March, Gu Mingxi mentioned Chongjian in front of Long Ziqi. After all, he took care of Yan'er and escorted back to China from the United States. It was not simply to be relieved by the word "thank you".

Long Ziqi called Chongjian that night and invited him to visit Mingzhengju.

Chong Jian still laughed softly on the phone, saying that he could visit Mingzhengju as a guest, which was a blessing for accumulating virtue in his previous life.

As everyone knows, Mingzhengju was a kingdom built by Long Pei for Gu Mingxi. In recent years, he rarely invited VIPs to Mingzhengju. Usually, banquets are placed in the Presidential Palace.

In the capital of Ming Zhengju, it is already the first mansion, and its status is even more important.

********************** The dividing line for the young master to ask for monthly tickets*********************

Although Chongjian was a guest at Ming Zhengju, he was embarrassed to come empty-handed and brought Gu Mingxi a rare pot of orchid. As for why it was Gu Mingxi instead of the noble President, it was because everyone knew that if you want to please Long Pei, you must please Gu Mingxi first.

The noblest owner of Mingzheng Curie is not Long Pei, but Gu Mingxi.

When Gu Mingxi received the gift, he chuckled and commented on Chongjian: "Human spirit."

Jiang Chongjian smiled and thanked his wife for her praise.

Long Li didn't return home, and Long Pei held a video conference in the study. Gu Mingxi liked the orchids sent by Chongjian, so he moved to the flower room himself. The matter of accompanying guests naturally fell on Long Ziqi's head.

Behind Mingzheng's residence, there are a large area of ​​pear orchard and peach orchard. A green gravel road is cut and clearly divided. The branches are green buds and hair tips, and there are very few white petals that embellish the desolate area.

Chongjian asked curiously: "Why do Mingzheng's residence have pear blossoms and peach blossoms?"

Long Ziqi looked at the white petals and replied: "The pear blossoms are originally there. My father and mother spent a wonderful time here when they were young. Later, the dragon scales were burned. In order to marry his mother, my father changed his name to Mingzhengju. My mother thought the pear blossoms were too monotonous, so my father planted peach blossoms again."

Chong Jian could imagine such a picture in his mind, and couldn't help laughing, saying, "Your Excellency and your wife have a great relationship. I heard that you planted more than 700 peach blossom flowers for your wife by yourself."

"It's not more than seven hundred plants..." Long Ziqi corrected softly, "It's nine hundred and ninety-nine plants."

Although my mother came back later, my father did not stop planting peach blossoms until ninety-nine, symbolizing his relationship with Gu Mingxi for a long time.

"Your Excellency is so romantic." Chong Jian put his footsteps very slowly, looking down at the people beside him, "If someone does this for you, will you be moved and agree immediately?"

"No." Long Ziqi's answer was straightforward.

Chongjian stopped and raised his eyebrows to look at her.

She also stopped, looking at the entire pear garden with a soft voice, "People from the outside world envy my parents' feelings, thinking that they are a pair made of heaven, noble identity, peerless face, and supreme glory, but no one knows how lonely and painful my father's heart was on those seven hundred nights, and no one knows that my mother once went into the mud with humility. Their love experienced too many twists and hardships, and now they can help each other, but because they are desperate and still refuse to give up loving each other. What others see is their glamorousness, but ignore the slightest fragments of life that return behind the glamorousness, and their ordinary support."

This is the first time she has said such a long sentence in front of someone.

Others envy their parents' feelings, but she cannot envy them because she was once a part of their parents' feelings. She knew how much painful the parents paid for their stay together today. Such love is too solemn and painful. She doesn't envy them, doesn't want them, and can't bear it.

"Xiao Yan'er..." Chong Jian looked at her subconscious smile, and felt a little more distressed in her smile.

Long Ziqi slowly looked back at him, shifting the topic, "Are you still used to it in the Presidential Palace?"

Chongjian nodded, "Habits are just tired and not free. That guy Li Fei really gave me everything."

Long Ziqi looked at him, and his thin lips chuckled as if it was vague, "This situation... won't last too long."

Chongjian didn't understand the profound meaning of her words. When he was waiting for dinner, he heard Long Ziqi's request to enter the cabinet in person, and then he understood the meaning of this sentence.

There was an outsider on the dining table, and Long Pei didn't say anything, but his eagle eyes were obviously unhappy. He disagreed with Long Ziqi's cabinet and took the path of politics.

If other politicians were in politics, they would probably celebrate happily, but Long Pei’s daughter really didn’t need to go along this path. His daughter was responsible for being as beautiful as a flower and enjoying her life.

Long Lifei was silent and did not express his opinion. His eyes fell on Long Ziqi, and some worry was flowing.

Gu Mingxi just sighed helplessly...

Chong Jian smiled and said that the dinner was delicious, and he would have to stay on the treadmill for about 2 hours at night. A calm and gentle sentence broke the slightly awkward atmosphere.

Long Pei looked at Chongjian with a little more appreciation.

Long Ziqi and Chong Jian were sitting face to face, and their clear eyes were grateful to him. Chong Jian blinked at Long Pei when he was not paying attention and smiled very cunningly.

This silent little detail was collected by Long Lifei beside him, silent and silent.

After the meal, Chongjian didn't stay for a long time and left after drinking tea.

Long Ziqi was called to the study by Long Pei. Long Pei's face turned gloomy when he went upstairs, and he was very angry at Long Ziqi's unauthorized claims.

Gu Mingxi instructed Long Ziqi not to blame Long Pei, and everything he did was for her good. Long Ziqi patted Gu Mingxi's hand that was placed on his shoulder, indicating that she could rest assured.

Long Lifei was on the sofa, lowering his eyes to cover the light in his eyes, and no one could guess what he was thinking.

Gu Mingxi walked over, sat down beside him, comforting him: "Yan'er has grown up, she has her own ideas and decisions, so you don't have to worry too much."

She thought about Long Pei and Long Lifei's concern and drows for Yan'er over the years, but she felt that they were too concerned and drowsy, which was not a good thing for Yan'er.

Long Lifei looked at her with a deep voice: "She is only 18 years old..." She had no idea what kind of path she chose.

"But she has grown up, and this is a fact that you can't deny." Gu Mingxi's smile was curled away, and he looked at him with a solemn look, saying, "Ali, Yan'er has never been your responsibility!"

Long Lifei was stunned, his thin lips slightly opened, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

Gu Mingxi stood up and said another sentence as he turned around.

She said: "I know my daughter very well. No matter how much suffering she has experienced or how much pain she has suffered, I believe she can stand up by herself. What she needs is respect and let go, not sympathy and excessive care."

...

The atmosphere downstairs is solemn, but the upstairs is not the same.

Long Pei sat on the leather chair, his fingers pressed against the reflective table, and his sharp eyes shot towards Long Ziqi standing in front of the desk, with cold brows.

"Father, I have made a decision." Long Ziqi's bright eyes met the eagle eyes that everyone was afraid of. His voice was firm and his determination was evident.

"I don't agree." Long Pei said in a deep voice, and the veins on his forehead were beating, "My Long Pei's daughter's life should not be like this."

"What's that?" Long Ziqi asked him calmly, his clear eyes were free of ripples. "I have lived in the castle all my life, and now I am you and my mother. From now on, I will protect me for the rest of my life, not be hit by wind and rain, not knowing the sufferings of the world, and live a carefree life until I grow old?"

"Isn't this good?" Long Pei asked. He worked hard for so many years, whether it was a family or a country, just wanted to make his wife and daughter worry-free for life.

Long Ziqi shook his head gently, with a faint smile on his thin lips, mixed with a bit of self-deprecation, as if he was talking to him or himself, "In everyone's eyes, I should live a princess-like life, but because I am Long Pei's daughter, I have to work harder than others. I can't have any negligence or omissions in doing anything, I can't make people catch a handle, and I can't embarrass you and your mother."

"My mother once said when I was a child that maybe I would be happier if I was not her child. I didn't speak at that time, but I have never agreed with my mother's words for so many years. Because in my heart, I have always been proud of myself as your daughter. My surname is Long, I am Long Pei's daughter, and the blood of Long Pei and Gu Mingxi is shed. If I don't go on this road, who should I go? Is Li Fei? His surname is Long, but he has never been a real Long family."

If it weren't for Gu Mingxi's daughter, life might have been less twists and turns, but she was destined to be the daughter of Long Pei and Gu Mingxi, and she was destined to be unable to live a carefree life like other princesses.

Because many years ago, she had lost her willful right.

Life experience forced her to grow up too early and suffered heavy blows. She once thought she could not overcome this level, but as time went by, with the company of her family and the indifference of time, she stepped over and faced her life, instead of relying on Li Fei.

“He can be…”

"I don't want to." Before Long Pei finished speaking, she pursed her thin lips and interrupted him. Her bright eyes were filled with mist. "Dad, I know you and mother love me very much, so please use your love to keep the last little dignity for me."

She has bound Long Lifei's life for so many years. Do you still have to be selfish and shamelessly tied up his life?

Many years ago, Long Lifei returned with the blood of the Long family. She returned as Long Ziqi, who had been resurrected from the dead. In the eyes of outsiders, they are brothers and sisters. If they want to have a result, they must have Long Pei break his trust in the world and be burdened with ridicule and accusations.

If everything is directly handed over to Long Lifei's hands, how could those who are secretly ready to move will sit and wait for death? One day, Long Lifei's identity will be taken out to make a big fuss. At that time, I am afraid that not only the Long family will lose the right to the president's hereditary system, but the father, mother, and all those involved in the Long family will have their lives to worry.

The only way is to face her life bravely, stand behind them, and this time she will be used to shelter them from the wind and rain.

Long Pei's heart suddenly thrust. Since Yan'er returned to Long's house, she has never called him...Dad.

This time, because of his political career, Long Lifei had to give him freedom. She called him father for the first time. Her kindness made him feel distressed. Such kindness and selflessness made him seem to see Gu Mingxi many years ago.

He got up and walked around the desk, gently hugged her into his arms, "Yan'er, dad will always protect you and your mother."

Long Ziqi hugged his waist, and the tears in his eyes were sour and touched. She had always been a woman she was loved.

"I am your daughter. I should solve your problems and be a daughter worthy of your pride!"

**************************** The dividing line for the young master to ask for recommendation ****************************

The incident of Long Ziqi entering the cabinet has been confirmed, but another unexpected thing happened. Not only Long Ziqi, but also Long Lifei entered the cabinet.

After confirming the news, the Secretary of State smiled and said to his assistant: "Your Excellency's children are amazing. Those old people are afraid they will start to have a headache."

Although the news has been confirmed that it is no secret in the country, Long Ziqi is still resting. The real reason is that April is Long Ziqi's 18th birthday, which is also a very important coming-of-age ceremony.

Long Pei has ordered people to deal with this matter. Their entry into the cabinet will be officially announced at Long Ziqi's coming-of-age ceremony!

Everyone in the Presidential Palace is busy with Long Ziqi's coming-of-age ceremony. The protagonist lives a leisurely life every day and occasionally appears in the Presidential Palace to visit the busy President.

Long Lifei has officially stepped into politics, managing the company while attending every cabinet meeting, and also giving him the part of the Presidential Office.

On the surface, it was said that he was tempered, but in fact it was for what it was for. Several people knew it well.

Mrs. Long personally cooked lunch for Mr. Long. Who knew that Mr. Long could not come back because of an extraordinary meeting. Miss Long volunteered to deliver a loving lunch to her father for her mother.

When he arrived at the Presidential Palace, Mr. Long had not yet ended the meeting. Long Ziqi put Long Pei's lunch on the desk and personally delivered Long Lifei's one to his office.

Long Lifei and Jiang Chongjian attended the meeting together. There was only a secretary in front of the office, and she entered without any obstacles.

I placed the food box on the neat desk and turned around to leave. The black phone placed on the table suddenly lit up and was buzzing.
