"In the end, my decision to stay was driven by my own desire."
"However, if soone intends to use the lives of the villagers to manipulate , I cannot guarantee the choices I might make."
A significant factor behind her commitnt to the people of Little Li Village was her connection with the old man and Niuniu.
She possessed a particular trait—whenever others showed her kindness, she reciprocated tenfold or more. Additionally, she held onto her pride, reluctant to burden strangers because of her own struggles.
Yet, sothing seed to have shifted; it was unlike her past life.
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao, confused, rembered Second Young Sir Qin's words.
[No matter what transpired before, I want to build a good relationship with you now, at least…]
Could they genuinely establish a harmonious connection?
"Alright, Qiaoqiao, don't dwell on it any longer," Mo Lian gently reassured her, touching her forehead. "I understand your choices."
"You, stubborn yet kind-hearted, will undoubtedly choose to stay."
"No matter what path you take, I'll stand by you," Mo Lian declared with a smile. "Follow your heart; don't defy your own wishes."
Qiao Mu smiled back at him.
Qiaoqiao's Lian was truly the best; communicating with Qiaoqiao was like conversing with a lotus.
"Good morning, Qiaoqiao!"
"Good morning, Younger Sister!"
Turning around, Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao noticed Duan Yue and Mu Xingchen approaching from outside the yurt. They waved and greeted her warmly, instantly brightening her mood.
She decided not to dwell on uncertainties. Why concern herself with what lay ahead? She would face whatever challenges ca her way. In this life, surrounded by friends and relatives, she refused to let herself be as miserable as in her previous existence.
"Good morning, Big Bro, and good morning to Duan Yue." Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao waved at them with indifference. "Care for so roasted at? I can prepare so for you."
Mu Xingchen's eyes lit up, ready to express approval when he felt a poke in his waist.
Duan Yue grinned, "Ah, how can I let my Qiao do the roasting? Besides, with your short stature, it's not suitable for you to handle such rough work! Qiaoqiao, hand the ingredients, and I'll take care of the roasting!"
"You're the short one. Your Rong family is all short!"
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao's stoic face remained expressionless as she retrieved the ingredients from her inner world, handing them to Duan Yue. She regarded him skeptically and inquired, "Duan Yue, is my barbecue really that hard to swallow?"
"How could that be?" Duan Yue blinked, turned his head, and smiled at her. "Qiaoqiao, the barbecue is delicious! It's just that you're so young now, so it's not appropriate for you to barbecue!"
Mu Xingchen adopted a cold, prideful expression, glancing sideways at Duan Yue. He couldn't help but chuckle ironically in his heart. Your Highness, do you realize how exaggerated and unrealistic your expression is?
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao nodded. "Let think. I don't think it tastes that bad."
"I roasted the food, but they're still fighting over the peach blossoms!"
Duan Yue's mouth twitched involuntarily.
How foolish was the Venerable Immortal!
"Hubby?"
"Mhm, hm?" Mo Lian coughed lightly and nodded seriously. "Qiaoqiao's Divine Colored Fish is especially delicious. I'll let Qiaoqiao roast it for you later."
"I thank your entire family!" Duan Yue silently cast a glance at Mo Lian before proceeding towards the gathering place of the aborigines, carrying the ingredients.
Upon spotting Mo Lian and the others approaching, the wise native promptly rose, signaling his clansn to do the sa.
