Gong Yixue smiled slowly and said, "Who says it isn't?"

But there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Sweetie didn't grow up by her side, so she doesn't know if Sweetie looked like this when she was the same age as Little Grape.

As a mother, missing out on your child's childhood can inevitably lead to feelings of sadness.

While Ye Ling'er was comforting the baby, she caught a glimpse of Gong Yixue out of the corner of her eye and immediately understood, saying, "Sister-in-law, everything has finally come to an end."

Because the two little ones were present, Ye Ling'er didn't make her words too explicit.

Hearing this, Gong Yixue came back to her senses, smiled and nodded.

Ye Yuchen was also staring at Little Grape in a daze.

He also wondered if his younger sister was just as adorable and endearing when she was little.

Downstairs, Chu Yi, along with his fiancée You Luo, Zhou Yuxuan, and Shen Chenxi, had arrived early as well.

Youluo didn't see Gong Yixue in the living room, so she asked. Learning that Gong Yixue was upstairs, she went upstairs as well.

The afternoon flew by, yet it was fulfilling.

In the evening, at the most important moment of the full moon banquet, almost all the wealthy and noble families in the capital came to offer their congratulations.

You should know that the Nangong family is one of the most prestigious and powerful families in the capital.

Not to mention, Madam Nangong is the little princess of the Ye family.

This banquet presents a golden opportunity to connect with both the Nangong and Ye families, and few in the capital's social circles would be willing to miss it.

Moreover, it's not always the case that a collaboration might be facilitated at a banquet.

At the dinner party, Little Grape only made a brief appearance before being taken away by the nanny.

This kind of environment is not suitable for babies.

Nangong Ci and Ye Ling'er were also busy greeting everyone.

The banquet continued late into the night.

Then everyone left.

...

Castle villa.

The next morning, Ye Mohan and Gong Yixue got up early.

Because today is the day I depart for country D.

The two arrived in the living room, where Gong Jianwenhua and Zhang Shu were already waiting for them.

Gong Yixue and Ye Mohan both stepped forward to greet them, saying, "Master, Junior Brother."

"Good morning, senior sister and brother-in-law," Zhang Shu replied.

Gong Jianwenhua nodded to the two of them.

Gong Yixue sat down and said, "Thank you for making this trip for me, Master and Junior Brother."

Gong Jianwen looked at her and said, "It's alright. I'm willing to go to great lengths for my disciple."

Gong Yixue: It's true that he's willing, but I'm afraid there's something else in the Delta that's attracting Master there.

But regardless of why his master went there, it is a fact that he went to great lengths for him.

For this reason alone, she should thank her master.

Gong Yixue nodded her thanks to Gong Jianwen.

In the kitchen, Dongfang Tinglan and Gong Beize were personally preparing breakfast.

The two little ones were still asleep.

We got home quite late last night, and the two little ones had already fallen asleep in the car.

When they returned, Gong Yixue and Ye Mohan each carried one of them upstairs.

Gong Yixue did not plan to take the two little ones with her this time, so she did not go upstairs to wake them up.

They still don't know the current situation in Country D.

Moreover, it would be inconvenient to bring two children along.

Even if there were space to ensure their safety, she still wanted them to continue their normal lives in the country.

Instead of running around with me.

She had already told the two little ones about this a couple of days ago.

Although the two little ones really wanted to go, they ultimately decided to listen to their mother and stay in Beijing.

After finishing their meal, Gong Yixue and her group prepared to depart.

A mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles.

Dongfang Tinglan couldn't help but say to Gong Yixue, "Xue'er, Mo Han, you must be careful on your journey."

Gong Yixue and Ye Mohan nodded.

Then Dongfang Tinglan also entrusted Gongjian Wenhua and Zhang Shu with her instructions.

When the group arrived on the lawn outside, the two private planes were already parked there.

Finally, the four of them split up and boarded the plane.

At the entrance of the villa, Dongfang Tinglan watched the plane gradually disappear into the sky, her eyes filled with worry.

Gong Beize stepped forward to comfort her, "Lan'er, we must believe that our daughter and the others will return safely."

"They have gone through so many difficulties, and this time they will be able to return safely as well."

Gong Beize said these words to Dongfang Tinglan, but also to himself.

Don't be fooled by his calm demeanor; he's just not showing it.

He didn't want to add to his wife's worries.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan nodded.

The two lingered at the door for a while longer before Gong Beize said, "Let's go in. Little Chen should be waking up soon."

Afterwards, Dongfang Tinglan followed Gong Beize back to the villa.

...

Country D, Sig Island.

A private plane landed on a villa helipad.

The cabin door opened, and Gong Yixue and Ye Mohan, both dressed in black special combat suits, stepped off the plane.

The plane was surrounded by bodyguards in black, clearly a well-trained team.

Gong Yixue looked at it and asked, "Someone who came out of Purgatory?"

Ye Mohan nodded. "Mm."

After learning that Warner Theodore was here, he transported people in on multiple occasions through various channels.

The reason for doing this is that we don't want to alert the enemy before the situation is clear.
