Afternoon.

A public cemetery in Zhonghai.

Lin Fei, Mu Shanshan, and Keke followed closely behind Mu Hong and strolled into the cemetery.

Because it was Mu Hong who handled the arrangements for Lin Fei's parents' funeral. Thus, Lin Fei's parents' grave was actually right next to Mu Shanshan's mother's grave.

However, during the past few years, when Lin Fei came alone to pay his respects. He was unaware of this, so in those previous years, Lin Fei did not pay his respects together with Mu Shanshan to her mother.

"Speaking of which, I have some feelings. Back then, after I helped arrange your parents' affairs. I wanted to adopt you just like I adopted Keke. But at that time, you had already gone to join the army. Back then, I didn't have enough authority and couldn't figure out which unit you were in. I was almost about to give up looking for you. I never expected to bump into you abroad in the end."

After entering the public cemetery, Mu Hong deliberately fell behind a step to walk alongside Lin Fei. He recalled his unsuccessful attempt to adopt Lin Fei back then. Years later, he unintentionally met Lin Fei abroad, which eventually led to Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan's marriage.

Mu Hong felt a sense of melancholy.

Upon hearing Mu Hong's words, Lin Fei was silent for a long time before speaking with a sense of melancholy: "Listening to you say that, Dad, I'm actually kind of glad I went to join the army back then. Otherwise, I might be facing a life I don't like."

Lin Fei was grateful, and if Butcher and Xue Zhi were present, they would absolutely gasp in shock.

After all, had Lin Fei been adopted by Mu Hong just a step later before he joined the army.

Then, whether the Hell's Judgement Organization could have ever been established would be questionable. Let alone reaching the peak position in the international mercenary world as it holds today.

Moreover, it can be said without any reservation, if the year Lin Fei's parents had their accident, Mu Hong had adopted Lin Fei. Then whether Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan could be as intimate and connected as they are today would be a question.

After all, based on Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan's personalities, if they had lived together since high school, the only possibility would be them not getting along.

Marriage would have clearly been out of the question.

Therefore, Lin Fei was naturally glad he joined the army early back then.

And as for Lin Fei's gratitude, Mu Hong could roughly guess a part of it. After Lin Fei personally rescued him from the hands of Teutons and other Soloha pirates previously, Mu Hong could somewhat guess Lin Fei's extraordinary identity.

Thus, even Mu Hong himself, with some understanding, felt a bit lucky he didn't adopt Lin Fei back then.

Otherwise, it could have ruined Lin Fei.

Lin Fei, with his own efforts, joined Dragon Soul. After leaving Dragon Soul, he then founded the internationally renowned Hell's Judgement.

A large part of this was due to the unexpected death of his parents, which stimulated Lin Fei's spirit, leaving him an unbound orphan.

Had Lin Fei been adopted by Mu Hong back then, under Mu Hong's paternal care, Lin Fei would undoubtedly have become a greenhouse flower.

A greenhouse flower cannot astonish the world.

Having a military background as well, Mu Hong naturally understood this principle.

Thus, after silently strolling to stand before Lin Fei's parents' tombstone, Mu Hong silently expressed his feeling towards Lin Fei's deceased parents, "You have raised a fine son."

After murmuring some laments, Mu Hong signaled to Mu Shanshan, who was behind him, to personally arrange the offerings and flowers prepared for Lin Fei's parents neatly.

And just as Mu Hong was thinking of having Mu Shanshan rise to bow to Lin Fei's parents and introduce herself.

Mu Shanshan performed an unexpected action.

She knelt down!

Following Mu Hong's instruction, after arranging the offerings and flowers prepared for Lin Fei's parents, the woman knelt directly before Lin Fei's parents' tombstone.

This wasn't the polite, single-knee proposal; it was a genuine kneeling on both knees!

This scene undoubtedly shocked Lin Fei to his core!

Lin Fei knew that Mu Shanshan loved him. But before today, he always thought that Mu Shanshan's love for him was less than his love for her.

However, after witnessing Mu Shanshan kneel in front of his parents' tombstone.

Lin Fei knew he was wrong!

Terribly wrong!

That one kneel was enough to demonstrate that Mu Shanshan's love for Lin Fei was by no means lesser than his love for her!

Except for Keke, who was too young to understand the world, everyone present knew.

Both Lin Fei and Mu Hong clearly understood how proud Mu Shanshan was at her core.

The woman was born beautiful, captivating a nation. This was an inherent advantage she had since the moment she was born. Simply put, from the moment she was born, Mu Shanshan had the capital for pride.

The woman, with her later efforts, single-handedly brought the Mu Group to the top of Zhonghai's private enterprises. Furthermore, it allowed Mu Shanshan to face anyone or anything with sufficient confidence.

Simply put, Mu Shanshan had enough reasons for pride, and she genuinely had an innate sense of arrogance.

This arrogance is not merely because of her beauty and wealth, accumulating over time. It is more driven by Mu Shanshan's own nature.

Some people are born with this kind of deeply engraved arrogance in their essence.

Mu Shanshan was undoubtedly one of them.

And now, as she came to pay respects to Lin Fei's parents for the first time, Mu Shanshan willingly knelt before his parents.

This undoubtedly represented that, in Mu Shanshan's heart, Lin Fei's weight had surpassed her very character.

As they say, changing rivers and mountains is easy, but altering one's nature is hard.

To willingly, albeit temporarily, change your personality for someone indicates nothing less than deep love.

After feeling the tremor in his heart due to Mu Shanshan kneeling before his parents' tombstone, Lin Fei, prompted by Mu Hong's cough, regained his focus.

Without any hesitation, Lin Fei immediately moved closer to Mu Shanshan and kneeled alongside her.

Seeing Lin Fei kneeling with her, Mu Shanshan paused in her outpouring to Lin Fei's parents. As Mu Shanshan contemplated how to instruct Keke to kneel with them.

Lin Fei, taking hold of Mu Shanshan's delicate hand, pressed it against his chest. With his eyes fixed firmly on his parents' tombstone, he solemnly declared word by word, as if making a vow, "Dad, Mom. I want to introduce you to her. She is Shanshan. She is my wife, and she is your daughter-in-law. Now she is, in the future she will be, forever and always..."
