Back in the room arranged by the butler, Zhan Xiaojun went to the guest room.
After taking a few sips of water, she glanced at the time.
It was three in the morning.
She edited a document.
The document contained information about the bank cards she had prepared for Lin Ya and Lin Jing, including the deposit amounts, the locations of their shops and houses, and so on.
She also left some final words.
These farewells were things she couldn't say to Lin Ya and Lin Jing in person.
Although she hadn't been in this world for long, they had already become her family.
She only hoped they wouldn't be too sad about her departure and would quickly return to their normal lives.
The money she left them was enough for them to manage well.
She quickly finished editing the document.
There was also a video sent by Lin Jing on WeChat.
It was a video edited using a new laptop.
She clicked on it to watch.
Lin Jing was very eager to learn, and his editing was much better than the previous videos, even his filming techniques had changed.
Although it was just a record of daily life, his incredibly handsome face quickly attracted many viewers.
Zhan Xiaojun smiled as she watched the video and sent a voice message.
"Uncle, I believe you will become better and better. In the future, I hope you and Mom will be happier and find your own happiness. I love you both."
After saying that.
Zhan Xiaojun suddenly realized someone was behind her.
She turned around.
And saw Ning Yecheng standing at the door.
His eyes held a deep, unfathomable gaze.
They were so close, yet Zhan Xiaojun felt as if a galaxy separated them at that moment.
It was as if stepping across it would shatter her into pieces.
However.
The next moment.
He strode forward.
As if he had crossed the galaxy and reached her side.
He pulled her into his arms.
Zhan Xiaojun buried her head in his embrace and softly asked, "Is everything resolved?"
"Yes. Grandma is awake," Ning Yecheng said in a low voice.
His voice seemed to be laced with restraint.
Looking at Zhan Xiaojun, who was right in front of him, he had an incredible thought, as if she would leave him at any moment.
It was a feeling so real yet so unreal, like an illusion, that had sprung into his mind the moment he saw her.
"Let's go see Grandma, and then I want to go back to Yuwan Villa with you," Zhan Xiaojun said softly.
She hadn't been in this world for long, but she had spent most of her time at Yuwan Villa.
She had already considered Yuwan Villa her home.
Ning Yecheng gently stroked her hair and replied in a deep voice, "Okay."
...
Old Mrs. Ning tightly gripped Zhan Xiaojun's hand.
She gently patted her hand.
"Xiaojun, without you, Grandma wouldn't have woken up this time. You are the lucky star of our family!" Old Mrs. Ning looked at Zhan Xiaojun with eyes full of love.
Some people, even without knowing each other for a long time, can earn genuine affection.
She truly considered Xiaojun her family.
If it weren't for Xiaojun, her grandson would still be suffering from headaches and insomnia every day.
It was all because of Xiaojun.
Heaven had been good to her and her grandson.
Zhan Xiaojun smiled sweetly, "Meeting Grandma is the happiest thing that has happened since I came into this world. Don't worry, Grandma, you're alright now. As long as you take your medicine on time and eat according to my diet, I can guarantee you'll live a hundred years."
Old Mrs. Ning suppressed a laugh, "A hundred years? Maybe not. Living that long, all my teeth would be gone. When I meet my old man in the afterlife, he'll surely dislike me!"
"It's not even dawn yet, right? You've both been up all night. Go back and rest. I'm fine now, just a bit drowsy."
Ning Yecheng nodded, "Grandma, rest well."
Old Mrs. Ning found everything about Zhan Xiaojun pleasing to the eye, but her grandson, she found him increasingly displeasing.
She felt her cunning grandson, like a fox, was not good enough for Xiaojun.
Oh well.
If her grandson wasn't good enough, then no one else was even a little bit good enough.
She'd let her grandson have her.
"Grandma, dissolve this pill in your mouth first, and then you can sleep," Zhan Xiaojun handed her a pill.
Old Mrs. Ning didn't ask what it was. Since it was from her granddaughter-in-law, it must be beneficial. She took it and put it in her mouth.
Seeing that Old Mrs. Ning had taken the pill, Zhan Xiaojun was relieved.
She left with Ning Yecheng.
On the way.
Zhan Xiaojun leaned against Ning Yecheng's shoulder.
Ning Yecheng held her in his arms.
Warmth radiated from Ning Yecheng.
Perhaps it was because dawn was approaching, the air was humid, and a chill crept into the car.
But Zhan Xiaojun didn't feel cold when Ning Yecheng held her.
She was somewhat reluctant to leave his embrace.
People.
One should be wary of developing attachments.
Once attached, it becomes difficult to let go.
She had always thought that growing up under the halo of her three elder brothers, she believed that no man in the world could compare to her brothers, nor to her father. She had prepared herself to never marry or fall in love.
But she never expected that someone had already occupied a place in her heart.
It was the man holding her now.
She couldn't help but chuckle.
"What are you thinking about that makes you so happy?" Ning Yecheng asked.
Zhan Xiaojun's heart stirred. She curved her lips and said, "I was thinking of a story, a story about a girl and her family. Would you like to hear it?"
She wanted him to know about her experiences that no one in this world knew about.
Her true growth experience.
"Yes, tell me slowly," Ning Yecheng's palm lingering on the soft silk of her hair, caressing it gently.
Then, he listened as she recounted stories that sounded incredible.
The driver drove quietly.
Knowing that the story Zhan Xiaojun was about to tell was not suitable for him to hear, he put on his Bluetooth earphones and listened to music.
The night outside gradually became hazy.
Scenery flashed by the window.
The sky began to whiten.
Ning Yecheng listened as the girl in Zhan Xiaojun's story grew up under the care of her family, surrounded by all sorts of people, with fantastical and colorful experiences. The girl who ran freely in the mountains lived such an uninhibited life.
The martial world that this world couldn't imagine.
The court struggles that were unimaginable.
In her description, they appeared so vividly before his eyes.
"What happened next?" Ning Yecheng listened, engrossed, wanting to know more about the girl's subsequent experiences.
Because the girl was in danger, her life was at risk.
At that moment, he wished he could have been there to kill all those assassins and killers.
Zhan Xiaojun's eyes reddened. She sniffled, trying to calm her unbearable emotions. "Later, she jumped into the lake, searching for a way to escape. Then, she unknowingly couldn't hold on and fainted. When she woke up, everything was different."
"How was it different?" Ning Yecheng's heart sank, his voice suddenly hoarse.
