Lauren sat cross-legged on the bed in her shorts. Before Jordan entered the room, she had been following Shaun’s instructions on how to control the connection between her and a cat.
Getting down from the bed, Lauren said sheepishly, “Uh, Shaun didn’t bring these cats. I bought them…”
After Shaun finished teaching Lauren, she immediately asked Salvatore to buy a bunch of kittens.
Only cute kittens were worthy of a goddess like Lauren.
Therefore, Salvatore specially chose the prettiest kittens. He thought that Lauren wanted to raise them as pets.
“You bought them? Why did you buy so many cats?”
Jordan was a little puzzled. It wouldn’t be strange if she only bought one or two. He knew of many women who liked to keep cats as pets. Including Victoria, Emily, Elle, Madam and Lota.
However, raising dozens of cats at once was too much.
“I…”
For a moment, Lauren didn’t know how to explain. She wanted to tell Jordan that she had acknowledged Shaun as her teacher. However, she was afraid that Jordan would be unhappy.
After all, Shaun’s methods seemed a little unorthodox. Lauren shouldn’t be learning such techniques.
Without waiting for her to explain, Jordan walked toward her and said, “Honey, you must be too bored alone. That’s why you want so many pets to accompany you. I’m sorry, Honey. I’ve neglected you during this period. You already waited for me for three years in the past. Now that we’re finally together, I shouldn’t let you suffer anymore.”
Lauren felt a lump in her throat. She was so touched that she wanted to cry.
During this period, she knew that Jordan was immersed in the sorrow of Victoria’s attempted suicide. She understood his pain. Therefore, she did not feel aggrieved even though Jordan had neglected her.
On the contrary, if Jordan behaved as if Victoria’s life and death didn’t matter, if he had heartlessly forgotten about her and only cared about enjoying time with Lauren, she would find such a man terrifying.
She liked men who valued relationships.
Lauren said gently, “I’m fine, Hubby. By the way, didn’t you say that you went to find a way to save Victoria? How is it? Any progress?”
Jordan nodded with a smile. “Yes, I already have a way to save Victoria. But we need to wait a few more days before she will wake up.”
“That’s great! There’s hope for Victoria!”
Lauren was sincerely happy for Victoria and Jordan.
Jordan smiled and held Lauren’s hand. He slowly kissed her and said, “Honey, do you want to have another baby with me?”
Lauren nodded repeatedly. “Yes! Chloe is older now and doesn’t stick to me anymore. Moreover, she’s about to start her family training. I want to have another baby with you. This way, when you’re not around, our child can accompany me…”
Jordan smiled and nodded. “Alright, let’s make one now.”
With that, Jordan pounced on Lauren again.
…
Meanwhile, in the Rong family’s mansion in Chaoyang Park.
At one in the morning, Rong Bingshao knocked on the basement door.
Shaun, Rong Bingshao and Rong Huangde had already returned home from Fort Rong to rest and gather with the rest of the family.
After dinner, Rong Bingshao returned to his room and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Knowing that Grandpa lived in the basement, he went to find him.
At this moment, Rong Huangde was still awake. He knew that he should have died a long time ago and he cherished every waking second of his life.
He was sitting at the desk reading the I Ching.
“Hello, Grandpa.”
Rong Bingshao went up to Rong Huangde.
When Rong Huangde saw his grandson, he put down his book and got up with a smile. “What’s wrong? Can’t sleep?”
Rong Bingshao walked over and nodded. “Yes, I’m so angry that I can’t sleep. Jordan, that b*stard. Just because he’s a Deity, he thinks he can disregard everyone else. Not only did he indirectly cause Uncle Ban’s death, he even abducted me and beat me up! Grandpa, fortunately, you arrived in time. Otherwise, I would have been crippled by him!”
Rong Huangde comforted him. “Child, you’re thinking too much. He knows that you’re my grandson and wouldn’t dare to be too ruthless.”
“Who said he won’t dare!” Rong Bingshao immediately retorted. “Do you know what he said? He said that he would break all my limbs and castrate me. Then, he would use advanced medical techniques to restore me so that you wouldn’t be able to tell that I was beaten up. And even if you pursue the matter, he will just refuse to admit it.
“I heard that he had castrated a man before. Grandpa, if you had come 10 minutes later, our family would have no descendants!”
Rong Huangde was indeed furious to hear this. “Did he really say that?”
Rong Bingshao nodded vigorously. “I swear! He told me so himself. He was all prepared to do it!”
Jordan had indeed said all those things.
However, Jordan had only said those words to scare Rong Bingshao. He did not really intend to cripple him.
And of course he would never castrate him.
If Jordan really intended to do something, he would not tell the other party in advance.
Rong Huangde was furious. “Jordan is really lawless! He doesn’t take our family seriously at all! He even dares to touch my grandson!”
Rong Bingshao added fuel to the fire. “That’s right. He’s relying on our family’s invention to save his wife. He needs our help, but he’s still so arrogant. Grandpa, I can’t take this lying down!”
Rong Huangde narrowed his eyes, and a terrifying expression gradually appeared on his old face.
Rong Huangde nodded. “Yes, we can overlook Ban Luming’s matter, but we can’t let him off just like that. The descendants of the Rong family cannot be trampled upon by someone from the Steele family, even if he is a Deity!”
Hearing that his grandfather was finally willing to stand up for him, Rong Bingshao was overjoyed. “Grandpa, how are you going to avenge me?”
Rong Huangde just stretched out his hand cautiously and said, “Now is not the time to plan this. Jordan is familiar with the I Ching and the reading of micro-expressions. He is also well-versed in psychology and has the ability to predict the future. If we plan revenge now, Jordan might be able to tell.
“Especially you. You are far less experienced than Jordan and he can see through your thoughts very easily.”
Rong Bingshao clenched his fists indignantly and swore to himself that he had to grow up as soon as possible. He couldn’t show all his emotions on his face like a child.
Rong Huangde patted Rong Bingshao’s shoulder and said, “Don’t think about this for the next two days. I’ll tell you what to do after Jordan travels back to the past.”
Rong Huangde sized up Rong Bingshao with a gratified expression and said happily, “Look at my handsome grandson. He’s as handsome and carefree as I was when I was young! Don’t worry, Bingshao. I’ll hold your hand and lead you step by step onto the path to success.
“Even a Deity won’t be a stumbling block to the descendants of the Rong family!”
