Memories are like ever-blooming stone flowers, yet only the self believes them to be eternal. Ultimately, what they bring is the ruthlessness of reincarnation; perhaps no one will wait this time.
"What did you do to the young lady?"
"Hand over the young lady right now!"
Gu Liyan was speechless. He had just been racking his brains about where Wang Qi's family lived, but he didn't expect to find Wang Qi's "relatives" as soon as he entered the city!
But given the current situation... looking at Wang Qi sleeping soundly on his back, Gu Liyan really didn't know what to say.
Just as everyone was on the verge of a fight, Wang Qi, who was on his back, frowned and said, "It's Da Huang and Er Huang disturbing me again! Can't I get any sleep?!"
Upon hearing Wang Qi's words, the two who had been shouting the loudest couldn't help but shudder.
Wang Qi stretched and opened her eyes, looking at the streets on both sides of the road, which seemed somewhat familiar. "Where am I? Why does this place feel so familiar?"
Gu Liyan said irritably, "You're home!"
After Gu Liyan finished speaking, he prepared to put Wang Qi down, but Wang Qi reacted quickly, clinging tightly to Gu Liyan's neck and wrapping her legs around him, shouting, "I'm not home yet! I don't want to get down!"
"Get down right now! Let go of me right now!" Gu Liyan said angrily.
"I don't want to!"
"let go!"
"I don't!"
"Let go right now, or I'll take action!" Gu Liyan shouted angrily.
"I don't want to! I don't want to!"
As the two of them spun around in place, one letting go and the other refusing to let go, everyone was dumbfounded.
Just as Gu Liyan was considering whether to give this young lady an over-the-shoulder throw, a shout rang out, "Outrageous! What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket!"
Hearing this sound, Wang Qi was so frightened that she quickly let go and jumped off Gu Liyan's back.
Gu Liyan was wondering when she saw a middle-aged man walking towards her from not far away, surrounded by a group of people.
Wang Qi hid behind Gu Liyan with a guilty look on her face.
The middle-aged man, with a heroic air and an imposing presence, approached Gu Liyan. After glancing at Gu Liyan, he ignored her and barked at Wang Qi behind Gu Liyan, "Come here now!"
Wang Qi peeked out and said "Oh," then came up to Wang Meng and weakly called out, "Dad..."
"You still remember I'm your father?! How dare you run away from the wedding! Just wait and see how I deal with you!" Wang Meng said irritably.
Wang Qi shrank back in fright, too scared to speak.
Gu Liyan looked at Wang Qi in surprise, never expecting that this girl had actually run away from her arranged marriage...
"My name is Wang Meng, and I am the city lord of the royal city," Wang Meng said, cupping his hands in greeting.
“Mo Li,” Gu Liyan said.
Seeing the two men introduce themselves to each other, Wang Qi hurriedly said, "Dad, I was able to come back thanks to Brother Mo for saving me!"
"This is none of your business, Big Yellow, take Miss back!" Wang Meng said irritably.
Upon seeing this, Wang Qi hurriedly spoke up, "Father, you mustn't be rude to my Brother Mo!"
Wang Meng glared at Wang Qi with annoyance, and the latter dared not speak again.
