Naturally, he was caught by Yao Yue, handed over a "public ration", and then explained that he would be leaving Binzhou for a few days to go to Jincheng, instructing her to stay behind and protect Xiao Chubing and the others.
This time, Yao Yue wasn't worried since Ling Fan's main base was here, and she felt quite at ease staying and enjoyed the company of Yun Fei and the others.
In the evening, Ling Fan came home early and personally cooked a delicious feast, just waiting for Xiao Chubing to get off work!
"Pretty domesticated, aren't you? You finished everything so early?" Xiao Chubing, stepping through the door, was immediately greeted by the familiar aroma of dishes, which understandably made her hungry. She'd been busy at the office all day and hadn't eaten anything yet!
The main reason was because of last night's cultivation sessions; she had been so busy today that she hadn't felt hungry at all. If it weren't for the smell of food, she might have forgotten about eating altogether.
In the kitchen, Official Ling heard his wife arriving, immediately peeked out his head while wearing a floral apron, and chuckled, "Wife's home, huh? Change your clothes first, I'm almost ready!"
Xiao Chubing put down her handbag, kicked off her high heels and felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Previously, whenever she saw this guy bustling in the kitchen, she couldn't help feeling annoyed!
But now, seeing Ling Fan busy in the kitchen, she felt surprisingly moved and actually wished he would keep busy cooking for her forever!
It wasn't long before Ling Fan served up a table full of delicious dishes, including ten dishes and even red wine!

"Come, wife, have a drink!" Ling Fan eagerly grabbed two wine glasses and woke a bottle of red wine.
Xiao Chubing changed into a light pink nightgown and sat at the dining table, surprised, "What's the occasion today? Such a feast?"
"Hehe, didn't you say you wanted to eat the meals I cooked, so I made more for you today!" Ling Fan eagerly said.
Xiao Chubing pursed her lips, touched by the warmth but still teasingly said, "The guilty acting overly kind—did you do something bad? Confess honestly!"
Ling Fan scratched his head and chuckled, "Well, the day after tomorrow I need to go to Jincheng, I'll be away for a few days!"
"Oh, you didn't need to go to all this trouble!" Xiao Chubing was already used to Ling Fan making frequent trips.
She eagerly picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a slice of beef, and slowly chewed it, savoring the freshness that was characteristic of Ling Fan's cooking.
"Hehe, the day after tomorrow is our two-year wedding anniversary. I can't stay, so I thought we'd celebrate in advance!" Ling Fan poured the awakened red wine into the wine glasses and handed one to Xiao Chubing.
"I added some Spiritual Liquid to it, it won't affect your body during your period, just drink a little!"
At those words, Xiao Chubing was momentarily stunned, her eyes slightly reddened as a strong feeling of self-reproach and embarrassment surged up in her.
She had actually forgotten the date. Subconsciously, she had never even thought about their anniversary. Previously, she had always seen her marriage to Ling Fan as a disgrace, how could she remember such an anniversary?
Under her previous mindset, she might remember if it were the anniversary of a divorce.
"Husband... I..." Xiao Chubing bit her lip, her voice full of self-reproach.
Ling Fan, naturally aware of the past issues, guessed she probably couldn't remember, but what kind of man would he be to hold such a thing against his own wife!
Immediately changing the subject, he said, "Are you upset that I can't be with you the day after tomorrow?"
Xiao Chubing shook her head, tears forming in her eyes, looking like a child who had made a mistake, "You're not mad at me, right? I completely forgot..."
Ling Fan immediately grabbed Xiao Chubing's hand, chuckling and teasing, "What's there to be mad about? Isn't it usually just officials allowed to start fires, and not the common people to light lamps? If you forgot, you forgot. As a commoner, I dare not forget!"
Xiao Chubing, hearing this, suddenly broke into laughter and pretended to pout, "As long as you know. There are things only I'm allowed to do, only I'm allowed to forget. You're not allowed to do them, and you're not allowed to forget them!"
"Yes, yes!" Ling Fan nodded repeatedly.
"Right, let me tell you about my past, it's time you knew some of it!" Ling Fan remarked matter-of-factly.
At his words, Xiao Chubing immediately put her chopsticks down, her eyes full of curiosity. She had long wanted to find out, and now seeing that Ling Fan was willing to share, she eagerly listened.
"You're finally willing to talk to me about your past!" Xiao Chubing's bright eyes twinkled with joy.
"Come, let's talk while we eat!" Saying this, Ling Fan placed some food into Xiao Chubing's bowl.
"I had accepted Old Man Qi's invitation to visit the school's Martial Arts Pavilion, the Zi Qiong Martial Arts Pavilion at Binzhou University. Su Qiong is my cousin, and my mother, Su Wei, is the youngest daughter of the Su Family in Jincheng!"
"Back when my mother was in school, she fell in love with my father, Ling Han, but unbeknownst to her, the Su Family had already secretly arranged a marriage with the Long Family.
"Later, my mother adamantly refused to comply and eloped with my father to a remote countryside where I was born. They thought that by presenting the families with a fait accompli, the matter would be settled.
"However, the Long Family, infuriated by the humiliation, took it out on my father, who was from an ordinary family and could not withstand their underhanded tactics. My grandparents were forced to take poison and died one after another, and the Su Family also faced a certain degree of suppression.
"Even the only relatives who were close to my mother, Su Qiong's parents, were treated harshly and ostracized because of their support.
"Eventually, my parents both died in a car accident, and my mother's personal maid secretly took me away to the countryside to raise me incognito.
"Even then, we could not escape the Long Family's assassins, and I was saved from a fatal situation by a neighbor, an old man who turned out to be my master, Yan Bao.
"Unfortunately, my foster mother wasn't so lucky and was killed while trying to protect me!" Ling Fan concluded, his thoughts drifting, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly turned heavy.
These were things he had investigated with General Ye before his accident, but he hadn't managed to deal with them before things went awry!
Only today did Xiao Chubing truly understand some of the secrets of Ling Fan's past from his own lips, and no wonder he harbored enmity towards the Long Family!
"Does the Feng Family also play a part in this?" Xiao Chubing suddenly thought of the previous attempt on Ling Fan's life by assassins from the Feng Family and the killing of Elder Master Feng.
"Hehe, Feng Xuehai is a lapdog of the Long Family. He was one of the participants in the events back then!" Ling Fan said lightly.
"I see!" Xiao Chubing nodded, feeling she finally had some understanding of Ling Fan's past.
"Yes, later my master taught me martial arts. In my teens, he sent me out to gain experience. Later, after I got injured during an incident and fled back, well, you know what happened next, I married into your family!" Ling Fan said with a smile.
Xiao Chubing, completely absorbed, had thought Ling Fan would elaborate more on his experiences and injuries!
"In a couple of days, it's my maternal grandfather's seventieth birthday. Also, my parents' spirit tablets are at the Su Family. I want to go there.
"Su Qiong's parents have had a tough time because they helped my parents back then, it's a good opportunity to visit and help them if I can!" Ling Fan explained.
Xiao Chubing finally understood the gist of things and replied understandingly, "You go ahead and take care of what you need to. Is there anything you need me to do?"
"You just focus on your cultivation; leave the rest to me!" Ling Fan said with a smile.
At the same time, he also thought of some things he planned to discuss with Xiao Chubing!
