My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 4248 Reflection

It has to be said that Lei Jun's extremely open-minded nature was somewhat beyond his expectations.

In Liu Mingzhi's mind, Lei Jun should have felt sad and melancholy when he heard him ask this question.

After all, for someone living far from home, being unable to reunite with their family during the Spring Festival, a time that should be filled with joy and celebration, is a truly sad and cruel thing.

Any normal person would likely feel sad or upset in such a situation.

To be a stranger in a foreign country alone, think of love every time during the festive season.

Only those who are far from home can truly understand how intense their longing for their hometown and its relatives and friends is when they are far away from home.

The reason why Liu Mingzhi had such thoughts was because he himself was a wanderer who often left his hometown.

Twenty years ago, after achieving the top rank in the imperial examination, he set off from his hometown of Jinling to head to the capital of the Great Dragon.

Later, he was ordered to lead an elite army of 400,000 to conquer the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions. It took him more than two years to return to the capital of the Great Dragon Kingdom.

Later, due to his outstanding achievements, he became a king of the Great Dragon, and was ordered to be stationed at the northern border to oversee all military and political affairs of the twenty-seven prefectures of the northern border.

Ultimately, he raised an army in rebellion and returned to the capital to sit in that chair.

For Young Master Liu, the past twenty-odd years, which are neither long nor short, have been filled with rich and colorful experiences.

Looking across the world, many people's entire lives cannot compare to the richness and diversity of my own twenty-odd years of life experience.

However, in his extremely rich and colorful life experience, he has very few memories of his hometown, Jinling.

In Liu Dashao's heart, apart from the memories of studying with Yun'er at Dangyang Academy and the memories of leading troops to suppress bandits in Jiangnan, he had no other deep memories of his hometown, Jinling.

Jinling.

hometown.

That place is clearly my hometown where I grew up, so why are my memories of it so vague?
It's become so blurry that unless I deliberately try to recall certain things, I can hardly remember many people and events.

It was precisely because they were both wanderers in a foreign land that Young Master Liu subconsciously assumed that his old friend Lei Jun would feel the same way as him!
Who would have thought that Lei Jun would be so open-minded about this matter?

Looking at Lei Jun's smiling face, Liu Mingzhi opened his mouth slightly, then suddenly chuckled.

"Hehehe, hehe~ hehehehe."

At that moment, it suddenly dawned on Liu that people are ultimately different.

The same thing can evoke completely different thoughts in different people due to their different life experiences.

Your own thoughts are your own thoughts, and other people's thoughts are other people's thoughts.

Just because you have certain feelings about your hometown doesn't mean that others will have the same feelings.

After Liu Mingzhi chuckled a few times, he raised his hands and gave a fist bump to Lei Jun, who was silently puffing out smoke from his pipe.

"Brother Lei, I deeply admire your magnanimous character."

To be honest, faced with this situation, I, as your brother, cannot be as magnanimous as you, Brother Lei.

Upon hearing this, Lei Jun tilted his head slightly, exhaled a puff of smoke, and immediately raised both hands to throw a punch at Young Master Liu.

"Brother Liu, you flatter me, you flatter me."

"Brother Liu, to tell you the truth, the reason I said what I did just now was not because I am too magnanimous, but because I feel I have no choice but to be magnanimous!"
Just as Brother Liu said, according to the timeline of our Great Dragon Dynasty, it is already the end of October. In two months and a few days, it will be the Spring Festival of our Great Dragon next year.

However, the journey from the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate to Yangzhou in Jiangnan, our Great Dragon Dynasty, would take at least four or five months, even if we traveled at full speed.

If traveling at a normal pace, it would take about ten months.

There are only a little over two months left, but I still have about ten months of journey ahead!
Faced with this situation, whether I am magnanimous or not, it is destined that I will not be able to reunite with my family thousands of miles away this year.

Since even if I were to be more magnanimous, I would ultimately be unable to reunite with my family, why not choose a more magnanimous attitude?

Lei Jun chuckled and spoke loudly, but suddenly let out a long sigh with a melancholy expression.

"Brother Liu, my open-mindedness does not mean that I do not miss my hometown and my relatives and friends here!"
So it's not that I'm too magnanimous, but rather that I can't help but be magnanimous!
To put it bluntly, the magnanimity I feel isn't true magnanimity, but rather a result of my own lack of options.

If I could grow wings like those eagles soaring in the blue sky and fly back home to reunite with my family in a short time, do you think I would still be as open-minded as I am now?

Don't laugh at me, Brother Liu, but if that were really the case, I would love to fly straight home without sleep or rest.

Ugh!
Brother Liu, oh Brother Liu, your so-called magnanimity is just because you have no other choice!

Lei Jun's eloquent words were filled with an undisguised sense of helplessness.

As he just said, his seemingly carefree attitude towards his whereabouts is not genuine, but rather a result of having no other choice.

Liu Mingzhi took a small puff of his pipe, then bent down and gently knocked out the tobacco that he had only taken two puffs of from the bowl under his feet.

Immediately afterwards, he first used his toes to gently crush the small wisp of smoke still emitting faint smoke on the ground, and then slowly straightened up.

Immediately, he turned his head with a big smile and looked at Lei Jun.

"Hahaha, Brother Lei, you're truly a man of character!"

Just as Lei Jun was about to reply to Liu Dashao's cheerful words, Lei Gang's loud shout suddenly came from ahead.

"Mr. Liu, young master, we are almost at the west gate of the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate."

Upon hearing Lei Gang's sudden shout, Liu Mingzhi and Lei Jun instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.

Then, they saw the west gate of the royal city less than two hundred paces away. In an instant, both Young Master Liu and Lei Jun reacted.

It turned out that, while the two brothers were talking back and forth, they had unknowingly arrived outside the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate.

After silently withdrawing his gaze, Liu Mingzhi continued rolling his pipe lightly with each step, a smile on his face, and turned to look at Lei Jun with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Brother Lei, it's not too late for you to regret giving my daughter Luoyue a gift when you first meet her."

"Once we enter the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate, and Yue'er finds a shop selling valuable items, it will be too late for you to back out!"

Upon hearing Young Master Liu's teasing remark, Lei Jun quickly averted his gaze from the city gate ahead.

Immediately, he first turned his head slightly to look at the little cutie who was silently following behind him and Young Master Liu, leading two BMWs. Then, with a smile on his face, he immediately turned his gaze to Young Master Liu.

"Hahaha, Brother Liu, a real man's word is his bond."

I already said I would give my niece Luoyue a gift, so how could I go back on my word?

My opinion remains the same: as long as my niece Luoyue likes it, she can choose whatever she wants, no matter what it is.

As for paying the bill, if I even flinch, I'm a son of a bitch.

Upon hearing Lei Jun's righteous and resounding reply, Liu Mingzhi quickly raised his right hand and gently waved to Lei Jun.

"Hey, Brother Lei, you're too kind, you really are too kind."

It's just a small gift, why make such a big deal out of it!

After answering Lei Jun's question with a light laugh, Liu Mingzhi turned around with a smile and looked at the little cutie following behind him and Lei Jun.

"Moon".

Upon hearing her father's gentle call, the little cutie immediately looked up at Young Master Liu.

"Hey, Yue'er is here, Father, please speak."

"My dear daughter, let me ask you, did you hear what your Uncle Lei and I just said?"

Upon hearing this, the little cutie nodded her head twice without hesitation, without even thinking.

"Yes, yes, Father, I heard everything."

Hearing his beloved daughter's serious reply, Liu Mingzhi smiled and nodded gently at the little cutie, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Hahaha, haha~ hahahaha."

It's good that you heard it, it's good that you heard it!

My dear daughter, it's not easy for us to have a meal with a big spender.

Now that we finally have a chance to eat our fill, my dear daughter, you must make the most of this opportunity.

Your Uncle Lei is a very wealthy man. When we get to the city, don't hesitate to spend whatever you like!
Otherwise, you would be letting down your Uncle Lei's good intentions.

After listening to her father's seemingly serious yet joking words, the little cutie couldn't help but slightly furrow her delicate eyebrows.

In that instant, she didn't immediately respond to her father's words, but instead subtly observed the expression on Young Master Liu's face and her eyes.

When the little cutie clearly saw the expression on Young Master Liu's face and the look in his eyes, she instantly understood the meaning behind her father's words.

Liu Mingzhi and Xiao Ke'ai have been father and daughter for twenty years. They know each other very well!
It can be said that the more Young Master Liu, as a father, understands his daughter Xiao Ke'ai's personality, the more Xiao Ke'ai, as a daughter, naturally understands her father Liu's personality as well.

They've been father and daughter for twenty years. If they don't even have this much understanding, what kind of father and daughter are they?

So, the moment the little cutie understood her father's true thoughts from his expression and eyes, she immediately blinked her bright, watery eyes at Young Master Liu without thinking.

Immediately afterwards, she quickly returned a knowing look to Young Master Liu.

After seeing the little cutie respond to him, Liu Mingzhi immediately smiled and quickly looked away.

At that moment, his heart was filled with emotions that were difficult to describe in words.

That brat Yue'er truly lives up to her reputation as my most beloved and understanding daughter.

Although he and his many wives have many children, the only person who can understand his thoughts with just a glance is this little darling.

Liu Mingzhi had this thought in his mind. It wasn't that he intentionally favored Xiao Ke'ai, but rather that Xiao Ke'ai was indeed far superior to her brothers and sisters in terms of perceptiveness and reaction.

Among the children of herself and her sisters Yun'er, when it comes to the ability to read people's expressions, the little cutie is number one, followed by Lingyun, and then Yaoyao.

Surprisingly, all of the top three spots were occupied by daughters; there wasn't a single son.

There were no top three finishers; the next few were fourth place.

However, to Liu Dashao's dismay, even the fourth place was not his son, but his second daughter, Liu Feifei.

Faced with this situation, Young Master Liu was extremely frustrated.

Sometimes, he would secretly ponder in his heart.

Could it be that I was too demanding of my sons, which prevented me from recognizing their admirable qualities?

However, he was unaware of what others were thinking about this matter.

However, he was very clear about what he was thinking.

It can be said that while Liu Mingzhi was secretly pondering this situation, he was also reflecting on himself and asking himself questions.
