Gu Yecheng spoke with Bai Sixiang for a while and then left the Bai Family.
He Xiuze is now Bai Sixiang’s son-in-law, and with this identity, he’s living effortlessly in the Imperial Capital.
Bai Sixiang has a good grasp of everything about him, and for future matters, she can manage them better.
Recently, Haige has been imrsed in the joy of marriage, seeing nothing but her partner, considering everything about food, clothing, and living for the other person.
"Godmother." Haige brought a cup of milk to the study: "You’ve been reading for a while, how about we take a walk outside?"
Bai Sixiang put down the book in her hand: "Sure, it’s been a long ti since we’ve taken a walk together, it would be nice."
Haige stepped forward to support her and smiled: "Godmother, whenever I have ti, I’ll co to keep you company, okay?"
"It’s good that you have this in mind," Bai Sixiang sighed. "It’s just that Xiuze is settled abroad, and eventually, both of you will have to leave here. Do you have any plans? When do you plan to leave here?"
Bai Sixiang glanced at Haige as she spoke.
"Xiuze originally planned to go back for a trip these two days and tidy up the house there before taking next month to familiarize myself with the route. Right now, I don’t want to go; I want to stay here and spend more ti with you." Haige, holding Bai Sixiang’s arm, acted coquettishly as if she were still a young girl.
"You’ve married, and beco soone else’s wife; you can’t stay by my side forever. As long as you’re happy, there’s nothing to think about for your godmother."
"Godmother, do you think in your heart that I’m particularly unfilial?"
"Not at all; you’re doing quite well now. How are things with him? Are you planning to have children?"
When it ca to this, Haige looked shy: "Godmother, having a child isn’t just up to ; it depends on destiny, right? If it happens, of course, I’ll have the baby. If I can’t conceive, I’ll leave it to fate. I’m sowhat older now and no longer insist on many things; going with the flow is fine."
"You’re older now; if a child cos, it would indeed be troubleso. Gege, your godmother never married in her lifeti, so I don’t have any good advice on how couples should get along. But there’s one thing I must remind you of: we must keep so reservations towards n; we can’t fully open up to them."
Haige blinked: "Godmother, I know you have so opinions about Xiuze’s not coming back, but really, Xiuze loves dearly, and I love him dearly too. Besides, shouldn’t couples be open with each other? If there are barriers in the heart, are they still a couple? Godmother, do you agree?"
Bai Sixiang could only curse in her heart, silly girl, but her tone was still earnest: "Gege, your godmother never married, and you grew up with . To , you’re just like my own daughter. Of course, your godmother hopes your marriage is happy. However, there’s rarely anything perfect in life. Your godmother ca out with you today just to tell you that life has its ups and downs. No matter what happens in the future, you have to live well."
Gege’s thoughts were too extre; she was truly afraid that once Gege knew the truth, she might do sothing extre.
Life doesn’t always go as you wish; ninety percent is disappointnt. Often, people must let go to be happy and cheerful.
Haige listened to Bai Sixiang’s words and smiled: "Godmother, I know you’ve held a skeptical attitude towards emotions all your life, believing true feelings don’t exist in this world, but really, godmother, Xiuze and I are genuinely in love, and I believe he thinks so too."
Bai Sixiang sighed internally and didn’t know how to respond for a mont.
Now telling her the truth would lead to nothing but her inability to accept, but so things will inevitably happen, and she’ll eventually find out.
"Gege, have you ever thought that Xiuze lived abroad for more than ten years while he was young and charming, and he was quite handso too?"
"Godmother, are you asking if he had any girlfriends or got married during those years? I’ve asked him, and he says no. Don’t worry, godmother, I’m not a three-year-old. Regarding so things, I naturally have my principles and stance. Godmother, I’ve thought about it; if he does have a family or has been married, I would just part ways with him."
Bai Sixiang looked at her, confirming how much thought was behind her words.
"Is this really what you think?" Bai Sixiang asked softly.
"Yes, if he really has a family, of course, I can’t be with him. My family background and my upbringing remind I won’t be a mistress. It’s just not possible. So, godmother, you really don’t need to worry. Godmother, I grew up with you. Although I have a bit of a willful character, I’m very much like you in many ways. I have my pride and lines I won’t cross."
"If you can think this way, I’m relieved. I’m just afraid one day you’ll encounter trouble in love and do sothing foolish."
"Godmother, where did that thought co from?" Haige hugged Bai Sixiang’s arm: "Don’t forget, I’m your daughter. You’re so outstanding. Whatever I do, I can’t bring sha to you, can I? Besides, the Hai Family is a prestigious family. As a daughter of the Hai Family, I can’t do anything to disgrace my parents."
"If you can think this way, it shows you’ve really matured." Bai Sixiang felt very comforted: "Even if one day I’m gone, I would be at peace."
"Godmother, you’ll surely live a long life."
"I don’t want to live that long."
"Godmother, why don’t we find an old companion and live to a hundred together?"
"You dear child, you’ve even learned to tease now." Bai Sixiang laughed at Haige’s words.
...
"Gege." He Xiuze ca in from outside, putting his briefcase aside and gesturing to Haige.
"What’s up, why so happy?" Haige was simring a pot of soup: "I got a good ginseng from godmother and am stewing it for you."
"My wife is really capable." He Xiuze stood up and hugged Haige from behind: "Gege, I heard godmother wants to get involved in the case from back then. She’s at an age where she is not supposed to mind things anymore. The Gu Family pulling godmother into it must have ulterior motives."
"This matter does have sothing to do with godmother." Haige stirred the soup, which was steaming nicely: "Back then, she was at least a co-responsible party for the lab."
"What I an is, this case has already been closed. The Gu Family won’t let it go. Are they up to no good against godmother? Think about it. Godmother is sowhat responsible; if this case really has issues, godmother’s connected liability can’t be ruled out, right? I think the Gu Family just wants to make a political achievent and has to stir up sothing."
"What could possibly happen to godmother? She’s dedicated her whole life to the lab; wouldn’t the authorities at least see that? However, I heard that godmother’s old comrade-in-arms seems to have passed away, leaving godmother sothing before dying." Haige said unintentionally.
"Godmother’s old comrade? Also in the lab?"
"Yes, similar in status to godmother, but she went abroad later on and supposedly died. They say she left sothing for godmother before passing, but I’m not clear about the details; godmother ntioned it carelessly once, and I didn’t quite catch it."
He Xiuze’s eyelashes fluttered as he took the spoon from Haige’s hand: "Wife, I want to taste it too."
"It tastes really good."
"It should be ready; let serve you a bowl."
"Okay, thank you, wife. You’re so wonderful."
Haige glanced at him with a smile: "Xiuze, you don’t have a family abroad?"
"What? Still doubting ?" He Xiuze sat down at the dining table with a bowl: "Such a thing, if I intended to hide it, I would have to do it properly. Besides, if godmother wants to know about , she can imdiately find out. Can I hide it?"
"Why are you so nervous? I was just asking casually. You haven’t seen each other for over ten years; you’re not so young anymore. I’ve set my heart on you, allowing for no one else, which is why I haven’t married. You’re a man, and there are so many attractive and capable won out there."
"Gege, really, there isn’t anyone else. I can swear it. If you don’t believe , you can co back with and see. See if I’m available. Gege, I know you have your pride, if I have a family elsewhere, you certainly wouldn’t have married , right? Be it in the past or now, I’ve always loved you."
"Look at how tense you are. I’m just worried, so I asked. If I truly settled with you abroad, in a place unfamiliar and without family close by, even if you had a family, what could I do to you?"
"Silly girl, don’t know what’s running through your mind." He Xiuze scooped a spoonful of soup and brought it to Haige’s mouth: "Here, open wide."
"Don’t think about things that aren’t there; you have to trust . I’m your man now, your support."
