After I was released from prison, I had a flash marriage with a boss who was in a vegetative state

Chapter 1375 Eternal Separation

Lu Mingzhu remained silent for a long time.

Niannian wanted to play with the hair clip again, but Lu Mingzhu stopped her.

"Niannian, how about Mommy buys you a few more hair clips that are exactly the same? Mommy likes this one, can you keep it for Mommy?"

Upon hearing this, Niannian stopped reaching out her paws and nodded obediently: "Mommy, this is the first time you've asked me for something. I heard in a book that this is a sign of dependence on the other person."

"Mommy, I'm so glad you can rely on me!"

Niannian smiled, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

Her daughter, Niannian, has always been a sensible and considerate child.

She nodded gently and patted Niannian's head, saying, "Then thank you so much, our generous little Niannian. Mommy will rely on you too."

Nian Nian proudly sticks out her little belly: "Leave it to me!"

Song Mingyi smiled as she watched this scene.

Originally, Song Mingyi and Lu Shenxing did not intend to involve Lu Mingzhu in Ming Jinyan's matter.

After all, they are family, and besides, Lu Mingzhu doesn't yet have the cunning to deal with Ming Jinyan.

But now, she has done it.

Even Song Mingyi and Lu Shenxing found Ming Jinyan's wounds very strange.

Lu Mingzhu had never practiced shooting, but that shot hit Ming Jinyan's heart perfectly.

Otherwise, he might not have died so quickly.

Perhaps all of this was preordained.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Song Mingyi said, "I'll go upstairs first."

Lu Mingzhu followed with small steps until they were out of sight of Niannian, at which point Lu Mingzhu asked.

"Sister-in-law...can I have a few of Mingqi's clothes?"

It's highly likely that Mingqi's body will never be seen. The authorities are very strict about such matters, and besides, the autopsy results were gruesome.

She thought that Mingqi probably wouldn't want them to see him like that.

Song Mingyi instantly understood what Lu Mingzhu meant. She paused slightly and said, "Mingqi's clothes are not evidence. Your brother and I will take care of this for you."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Lu Mingzhu smiled gratefully, a hint of tears welling in her eyes: "I just... wanted to build him a cenotaph. After all, he was the one who came to save me this time, and so was Niannian..."

When the matter was over, Lu Mingzhu understood.

The one who needs to arrest Niannian is Ming Jinyan.

Mingqi took Nian Nian away to protect her.

But now, everyone in Haicheng, and even the whole world, thinks that Ming Qi, like Ming Jinyan, is a kidnapper, a bad person who hurts children, and someone who killed his boss of decades in revenge.

He has so many bad reputations.

But at least... it shouldn't be like this. His efforts have also gone unnoticed and buried under this bad reputation.

At the very least, she shouldn't.

Song Mingyi gently hugged Lu Mingzhu.

Previously, Song Mingyi rarely hugged her like this.

But after returning this time, Lu Mingzhu became very dependent on her.

Lu Mingzhu's tears welled up again.

Song Mingyi didn't say anything, but her very presence made Lu Mingzhu feel incredibly dependent and comforted.

"Sister-in-law, thank you, sister-in-law..."

Song Mingyi patted Lu Mingzhu on the shoulder: "I'll give you his clothes this afternoon. You can see how to arrange them."

Lu Mingzhu wiped away her tears: "Mmm!"

……

The day Mingqi was buried in his cenotaph was a cloudy day.

Mingqi had no other friends, let alone family. In the end, on the way to the cemetery, only Lu Mingzhu was there to think of him.

Lu Mingzhu was holding a black box in her hands.

Niannian followed Lu Mingzhu, step by step, her short legs struggling to climb the steps.

She looked at the tombstones on both sides, blinked, and asked curiously, "Mommy, are all these grandfathers and great-grandfathers here too?"

This should be Niannian's second visit to the cemetery.

The last time was shortly after Lu Mingzhu brought Niannian to recognize her ancestors. Madam Lu came to deal with Lu Mingzhu's cenotaph and brought Niannian to pay respects to Old Master Lu and her grandfather.

Niannian is still young and doesn't know the concept of death yet.

They had no idea what this meant.

Lu Mingzhu rubbed Niannian's head: "These are the homes of stars, and each tombstone is their door."

"Okay, I get it now!"

Niannian was very happy and pointed to the sky: "Grandpa and Grandfather are watching us from heaven. Grandma told me that! Will Uncle watch me from heaven after he goes to sleep?"

"Correct."

Lu Mingzhu smiled, perhaps because she was thinking of the past, and felt a little sad.

In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed.

They climbed the steps along the way.

I don't know when it started, but a thin fog began to rise.

A pale white light enveloped this small space as Lu Mingzhu walked to the tombstone prepared for Mingqi.

There was no name engraved on the tombstone; nothing was left behind.

Just like...Mingqi.

Lu Mingzhu took out the tools she had prepared beforehand and dug up the place where the urn was placed under the small tombstone.

She put Mingqi's clothes inside.

Just as they were about to bury her and cover her with the coffin, Lu Mingzhu remembered something and suddenly took something out of her pocket and placed it on the chest of her clothes.

Niannian stood on tiptoe to look, but before she could see clearly, she saw Lu Mingzhu close the lid.

Niannian asked curiously in her childish voice, "Mommy, what did you put in Uncle's little box?"

Lu Mingzhu's eyes were a little red.

She smiled slightly, but her eyes were filled with tears.

“It was left to him by one of his most cherished people… Now I’m putting it in there so it can keep my uncle company, so he won’t be lonely.”

The small apple hair clip, still warm from Lu Mingzhu's body, was forever sealed in this box.

Lu Mingzhu stood up with Niannian: "Good Niannian, bow."

"Ok!"

Niannian, being well-behaved and sensible, bowed three times towards the tombstone.

She smiled sweetly and touched the corner of the tombstone: "Uncle, don't be afraid. Niannian will come to visit you often in the future. Also, if you feel lonely, you can go and play with my grandpa and grandfather."

"Mommy and Grandma said they're really nice people. Niannian will talk to them on your behalf and ask them to take care of you!"

Lu Mingzhu silently wiped away the tears in her eyes.

She gazed at Mingqi's tombstone; he hadn't even managed to leave his name when he passed away.

There was no proper funeral either.

Who will come back for his funeral?

He was all alone.

Lu Mingzhu stared intently at the tombstone for a moment before taking Niannian's hand and saying, "Let's go."

"Let's go!"

"I'll come see you again next year, Uncle."

"Okay! Don't worry, Mommy, your good friend is my good friend too! When you get old and can't walk anymore, I'll still come to visit Uncle!"

"it is good……"

Mingqi, there's something you've said wrong after all.

You are not the shame that I keep thinking about.

If she knew you were her biological father, she would like you very much.

She wants to go to school early every day, to see you at kindergarten, and to play with you.

Blood ties are such a magical thing; even without knowing each other's identities, one can still feel close.

Unfortunately, the father and daughter were separated by death and could never see each other again.
