"Ah Xing."
Ning Huanxin finally felt Jiang Lixing's breath. When she turned her head, she saw Jiang Lixing standing outside the kitchen door at some point.
"You're back, are you hungry? You'll be able to eat soon."
As Ning Huanxin spoke, she smiled at Jiang Lixing.
"Um."
Jiang Lixing nodded and took a few steps forward: "Do you want my help?"
"Okay, I'm fine. It'll be fine really soon. Just go to the restaurant and sit down!"
Ning Huanxin walked out of the kitchen, raised her hands and pushed Jiang Lixing towards the restaurant.
Jiang Lixing suddenly turned around and took Ning Huanxin into his arms, hugging her tightly.
"Hey, no, my apron is full of oil."
Ning Huanxin struggled slightly and whispered softly.
"do not move."
Jiang Lixing lowered his head and gently rested his chin on Ning Huanxin's head.
"Huan Xin, do you know that for thousands of years, every night, I have dreamed of you, dreaming that you and I are just like now, we are just like a mortal couple, living a life of daily necessities, and having a naughty and lovely son. Daughter, we can also quarrel and reconcile. We can go out and play happily as a family, and we can secretly enjoy the world of two while the child is asleep... "
Jiang Lixing's tone was very low, soaked in thousands of years of longing and attachment.
"Ah Xing."
Hearing his words, Ning Huanxin couldn't help but lean on Jiang Lixing's neck and whispered softly: "We can do this now. In this life... we will be happy, very happy."
"Um."
Jiang Lixing nodded and kissed Ning Huanxin's hair gently.
"Okay, the food will be ready soon. You can try my handiwork."
Ning Huanxin broke away from Jiang Lixing's arms at this time, turned around and went back to her work.
This old house hasn't been this cozy for a long time.
The two of them had a delicious lunch in the restaurant. In the warm sunny afternoon, on the leather sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, Ning Huanxin quietly nestled in Jiang Lixing's arms wearing some loose house clothes. She gave Jiang Lixing a low voice. Li Xing recounted his experience of going to Zhaocheng this time. Although Jiang Lixing had already "seen" it once, he still looked serious when he heard Ning Huanxin talk about it again.
"If... there is someone from Gu Qianchen in the Gu family, do you think... that person will be among those four people?"
Jiang Lixing suddenly asked Ning Huanxin.
The four people he mentioned were naturally Gu Ting, Gu Shuang, Huo Yin and Ye Ling.
"Gu Shuang is a bit impulsive and her cultivation level is not high, so it shouldn't be her. Huo Yin and Ye Ling are both very calm, and both of them are a little bit shy and don't like to express themselves. I don't have much contact with them. It’s Gu Ting instead.”
Speaking of Gu Ting, Ning Huanxin could not help but frown slightly: "Gu Ting is a very contradictory person. I think he is a bit hard to see through."
Speaking of this, Ning Huanxin couldn't help turning sideways, looking up at Jiang Lixing.
"A Xing, do you think we should have a good talk with eldest brother, in case there are still people in the Gu family..."
"Don't worry, Gu Xiao will handle it well. You have to believe in his ability. He is the father's designated successor."
When Gu Xiao was mentioned, Jiang Lixing's expression was slightly strange: "Actually, compared to appeasing other families and purging the Gu family, I think the more difficult thing for Gu Xiao... is another existence."
"Oh? Who is it?"
Hearing Jiang Lixing's words, Ning Huanxin blinked. Is there any other potential threat? Will eldest brother be in danger
