Chapter 347 Best Friends Reunite, Hug Each Other Tightly!

Seeing this, Xiao Xingyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the atmosphere in the courtyard became peaceful.

Soon, Meng Yanzhi arranged for Xiaoyue and Lingxiao to stay. At this time, she received a letter from Zhao Bailu, which made her extremely happy.

She hugged Xiao Xingyuan, kissed him twice on the cheek, and then said with a smile, "Ayuan, we'll be able to see Bailu's family soon. She, Gu Hanyue, and the child are all coming to the Northwest to stay. That's wonderful! That's really wonderful! I can be with Bailu more often from now on!"

"Really?" Xiao Xingyuan was a little surprised to hear this, but he still nodded and said with a smile, "That's great, you're making more and more friends."

Meng Yanzhi smiled and tilted her head to look at Xiao Xingyuan: "Will you feel very disappointed? Do you have any good friends? You can invite them all over."

“I used to be an emperor. I only had subjects, no good friends. My only friend was Ling Xiao.”

"He's right here."

Xiao Xingyuan hugged Meng Yanzhi from behind, encircling her in his arms, and smiled gently.

"When I met Ling Xiao, I had friends; when I met you, I had love; and with Aman, I had a home."

"Rouge, I'm very satisfied with my life now, so you don't need to be so careful. Everything I've done is of my own free will. I'm not compromising for you; I'm just pursuing the life I want."

Ever since they left the capital, Meng Yanzhi always felt a little guilty, fearing that she had implicated Xiao Xingyuan and that Xiao Xingyuan would regret it later.

But now, after hearing Xiao Xingyuan say that, Meng Yanzhi smiled and felt relieved. She knew that this was the life Xiao Xingyuan wanted.

Three days later.

Zhao Bailu, carrying the child, rushed into Meng Yanzhi's courtyard in a flurry of activity.

Wow! Your house is huge!

"Running a restaurant, is it really that profitable?"

Holding her child, Zhao Bailu looked around carefree, her eyes filled with envy.

Meng Yanzhi hugged Zhao Bailu tightly and said with a smile, "Bailu, it's been so long! I missed you so much!"

"Waaah, I missed you too." Zhao Bailu put down the child and hugged Meng Yanzhi. "Yanzhi, we can be together more often from now on. That's great! I can finally eat your cooking again!"

Indeed, the key to winning someone over is to win them over through their stomach!

Looking at Zhao Bailu's gluttonous expression, Meng Yanzhi was both amused and exasperated. She then said, "Okay, okay, as long as we're together every day from now on, I'll cook for you every day, okay?"

"Great! That's wonderful!"

"Rouge, you're so good to me!"

Zhao Bailu immediately jumped up excitedly, her eyes crinkling as she put her arm around Meng Yanzhi's shoulder.

"I thought you would be sad after leaving the capital, but it seems I was wrong. You look much better than when you were in the capital."

"By the way, you didn't know, did you? Meng Anfeng is also around here. I heard he's already fought off bandits several times. He's incredibly brave and invincible."

Since Meng Yanzhi decided to give up the past, give up hatred, and fulfill herself, she has never inquired about the Meng family's situation.

Hearing about Meng Anfeng's situation, Meng Yanzhi felt as if she had been transported to another world. She smiled gently and said softly, "Before, he was always spoiled. I can hardly imagine what such a person would be like on the battlefield."

"People change anyway."

"Rouge, sometimes I really envy you, and I admire you. You can let go of everything, but I can't. I can't do it."

Zhao Bailu looked at Meng Yanzhi with envy.

Upon hearing this, Meng Yanzhi couldn't help but smile, and then said calmly, "Perhaps it's because I've experienced too much, and now I'm numb. I don't care about so many useless things at all. After all, I have family and friends around me now, and there are more things and people that I need to care about."

Seeing the gentleness and composure emanating from Meng Yanzhi, Zhao Bailu couldn't help but smile. She knew that Meng Yanzhi was in the best state right now; she was enjoying life.

Gu Hanyue walked over carrying large and small bags, his expression clearly showing his misery. He put the things on the table and looked at Zhao Bailu with some helplessness: "Have you forgotten that there is someone behind you?"

Zhao Bailu slapped her forehead and hurriedly stepped forward to help, looking at Gu Hanyue with a face full of guilt. She said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I was just too excited. I forgot. I really didn't mean to, hahaha!"

Gu Hanyue seemed to have long been used to Zhao Bailu's behavior, looking at her with a helpless expression, and then said in a sullen voice, "So, have you said everything you wanted to say?"

"I said it, but I didn't finish. I'm not going home tonight; I'm staying for dinner!" Zhao Bailu said with complete confidence.

Helpless, Meng Yanzhi tugged at Zhao Bailu and then said, "Speak to them properly."

As she spoke, Meng Yanzhi bowed to Gu Hanyue and said, "Greetings, Young Marquis."

"Madam Meng is too kind. There is no need for such formalities."

"I just wonder if I could stay for dinner tonight?"

Gu Hanyue looked at Meng Yanzhi with a smile, and her attitude did not change despite Meng Yanzhi's change in status.

"Okay, you can all stay and eat together."

"Bai Lu, come with me. Let's go inside and talk. Xiao Xingyuan and Ling Xiao are in the garden. Young Marquis, please go and have some tea."

After saying that, Meng Yanzhi pulled Zhao Bailu along and strode inside.

After entering the room, Zhao Bailu snuggled up to Meng Yanzhi again, smiling at her: "Yanzhi, you have no idea how sad I was when you left the capital. I thought I would never see you again. Thank goodness, we can be together again now, hehehe."

Seeing Zhao Bailu's silly expression, Meng Yanzhi chuckled and looked at her with some confusion: "Bailu, I want to ask you, why, why do you like me, why do you want to be friends with me?"

“I liked you the first time we met. You weren’t pretentious at all. You said what you were thinking and you didn’t look down on me.”

"I had already decided then and there that I wanted to be your best friend for life!"

Zhao Bailu looked at Meng Yanzhi very seriously.

Meng Yanzhi smiled gently, then said, "Zhao Bailu, you are really a very, very good girl."
