Chapter 1833: Chapter 1833: Promotion
Luo Qiao fell asleep as soon as she finished eating, which made Lu Yichen feel immensely sorry for her, but there was nothing he could do except watch over her, smoothing her furrowed brows and patting her when she slept uneasily: "Don’t be afraid, I’m here."
She knew a large amount of funding was needed for post-disaster reconstruction, so she selected a dozen pieces of jewelry from her collection and entrusted Yusuf to auction them abroad, donating all the proceeds anonymously to the disaster area.
She also donated fifty million in Capital City, and only then did this matter come to an end.
Time will heal all wounds, and people must always look forward.
One day, Lu Yichen returned home and found Luo Qiao practicing calligraphy in the study after searching around: "Qiaoqiao, I’m back."
"Why are you home so early today, is there something happy to share?"
"It seems nothing escapes your sharp eyes, wife."
Luo Qiao finished writing the last word and put down the pen: "Come on, what’s the good news?"
Lu Yichen whispered a few words in her ear and then looked at her with a smile.
Luo Qiao smiled too: "Congratulations! I’ll personally cook dinner tonight to celebrate, but does this mean you’ll be even busier from now on?"
Lu Yichen laughed, pinching her cheek: "No matter how busy I am, I won’t neglect you."
Luo Qiao put down the pen, slapped his hand away, and then happily jumped onto Lu Yichen’s back, who indulged her, letting her mess around on his back.
The two of them playfully made their way to the front yard, playing around so much that they didn’t hear someone approaching. Luo Qiao was tugging Lu Yichen’s ear: "Your ears really do look like dumplings."
Just as she was speaking, Lu Yichen suddenly stopped, and Luo Qiao asked him: "Why aren’t you walking?"
Before she could get an answer, she looked up and saw their son and daughter standing at the second courtyard entrance, and before she could get down, Luo Chen and Qi Junrui also walked in.
Luo Qiao hurriedly wanted to get down, but Lu Yichen refused to let go, shamelessly saying: "Make way, your mom sprained her ankle and insisted on getting to the kitchen to cook dinner, I’m carrying her over."
Luo Qiao inwardly rolled her eyes dramatically. What else could she say? She had to pretend to be calm and confident: "Didn’t you hear your dad? Make way quickly, I’m heavy."
Then the kids collectively moved aside, standing on either side, each donning an expression of disbelief, since their dad could really be thick-skinned to make his wife happy.
As they walked out of the second courtyard and reached the front yard, Luo Qiao raised her fist and playfully punched Lu Yichen several times: "Aren’t you scared I’ll expose you?"
She then pinched his cheek: "Your face is really thick. Aren’t you going to put me down, or do you want Elder Rong and Rong Daniang to see this spectacle?"
Lu Yichen still didn’t loosen his grip: "It’s just a few more steps, let’s go all out with our performance, so we don’t get caught."
Little did they know what those peeking heads around the corner were up to, haha!
Luo Qiao took charge of cooking, while Lu Yichen assisted. When the dishes were served, Xiao Ye spoke up: "Mom, you must be exhausted, insisting on cooking so many dishes even with a sprained ankle. Is there some good news?"
As soon as he said this, Yanyan and Yueyue sitting nearby both gave him a warning look, signaling him not to stir up trouble.
Luo Qiao was setting out the dishes and didn’t notice the sibling exchange of glances earlier: "Let your dad say it himself."
Lu Yichen smiled as he handed a drink to Xiao Rui, asking him to pour some for everyone: "I’ve made some adjustments at work; I’ll now be serving concurrently as the Deputy Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee in Capital City, so I may be even busier in the future."
Yanyan raised her glass: "Come on, let’s all raise our glasses to congratulate Dad on his promotion and wish him success in his work and all the best."
