Gong Yixue glanced at the specially designated space not far away and said, "Let's go, let's go find Aunt Qiu and the others first."

As the group entered the courtyard, they heard cheerful laughter coming from inside.

Clearly, they are having a great time here.

After Gong Yixue walked in, she smiled and asked, "What are you talking about? You seem to be having a lot of fun?"

Upon hearing the sound, a graceful young girl turned her head to look.

Upon seeing Gong Yixue, he immediately ran towards her.

"Master~"

His excitement and joy were undisguised, and he immediately gave Gong Yixue a big hug.

Gong Yixue smiled and accepted her hug.

After a while, Mengbao finally let go of Gong Yixue and said, "Master, why did it take you so long to come see Mengbao? Mengbao thought Master didn't want me anymore."

Gong Yixue felt very guilty upon hearing this.

Since Sweetheart disappeared, she has rarely entered the space. After all, she already finds the days outside too long, and the time inside the space is ten times longer.

She couldn't bear it, so she rarely came in.

Gong Yixue patted the baby's head and said with a smile, "How could I? You will always be my adorable baby, how could I bear to leave you? That's why I came in to keep you company. I'll stay here for a while this time and spend some quality time with you."

Upon hearing this, the baby's eyes lit up, and it said, "Really, Master?"

Gong Yixue nodded and said, "Of course it's true."

At this moment, the village chief also stood up, looking at Gong Yixue whom he hadn't seen for many years, his eyes gradually welling up with tears.

"Little Xue, you've finally decided to come in."

Upon hearing the sound, Gong Yixue released the baby and turned to look at the village chief.

Her eyes were also moist.

She initially thought that letting the village chief come in would allow her to enjoy her old age in peace, but over the years she has almost never dared to step into this place.

Since bringing Aunt Qiu and Grandpa Village Chief in more than three years ago, they have not been allowed to leave.

She didn't tell the two of them about Sweetheart's disappearance; they only knew of Xiao Chen's existence.

After all, so many people outside were already worried, and she didn't want the two elderly people to worry as well.

Gong Yixue walked up to the village chief, her eyes filled with tears, and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, I'm sorry it's taken you so long to come see me."

The village chief's eyes also welled up with tears as he said, "Silly girl, it's good that you're here. Grandpa was worried that one day when I'm gone, I don't know if I'll be able to see you again."

Gong Yixue: "How could that be? Grandpa Village Chief will definitely live to be a hundred years old."

Only after she finished speaking could Gong Yixue step forward and take the village chief's pulse.

After a while, I let go of his hand, and my worries lessened a bit.

The environment here is really suitable for retirement. The village chief's health is much better now than it is outside.

Gong Yixue slowly said, "With Grandpa Village Chief's health, living for several more decades shouldn't be a problem."

The village chief smiled at Gong Yixue and said, "Silly girl, how long you live is up to fate, and Grandpa is all too accepting of it."

Besides, Grandpa has lived several more years here over the years, so he'll be content even in death.

Gong Yixue frowned slightly and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, you mustn't talk nonsense."

Grandpa Village Chief chuckled upon hearing this and said, "Alright, alright, I won't say anything."

"Little Xue, what brings you here today?"

Seeing that he had changed the subject, Gong Yixue went along with it and said, "Well, I just happened to have some business to take care of, so I'll stay here for a few days and then go out again."

Suddenly, he realized that he had been inside for so long and had almost forgotten about Youluo and the other person.

He then waved for Youluo and the other girl to come over and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, Mengbao, let me introduce you. This is my good friend Youluo, and this is her boyfriend Chu Yi, who is also Mo Han's older brother."

Youluo and Chuyi said respectfully, "Grandpa Village Chief."

The village chief looked at the handsome young man and beautiful young woman in front of him and nodded in approval, saying, "Yes, you are a good match. I hope you can support each other for the rest of your lives and grow old together."

Upon hearing this, Youluo blushed.

Chu Yi agreed, saying, "Thank you for your kind words, we definitely will."

He really liked what the village chief said.

His wish was to hold hands and grow old together.

He never imagined that one day he would fall in love, and even want to spend his life with her.

Gong Yixue's gaze shifted between You Luo and Chu Yi, and she was genuinely happy for them.

Back then, she and Youluo fought their way through a group of people, and neither of them ever imagined that one day they would both find their own emotional home.

This can be considered a perfect ending.

Compared to the ending of my previous life, everything is now moving in a positive direction.

At this moment, Aunt Qiu also heard the commotion and came out of the kitchen.

When she saw Gong Yixue, she wondered if she was seeing things.

I rubbed it several times before I was sure I wasn't mistaken.

She tentatively called out, "Xue'er?"

Upon hearing the sound, Gong Yixue slowly turned around and looked over.

Aunt Qiu saw that familiar face and happily walked over.

"It really is you, Xue'er, what brings you here?"

After saying that, he realized that what he had said was inappropriate.

"That's not what Aunt Qiu meant. Aunt Qiu was wondering why only you two came. Why didn't Madam and the others come?"

Gong Yixue smiled and said, "I'm not in the capital right now. I came out to take care of some business and happened to have some time, so I came in to see you."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Qiu nodded. "I see."

However, a hint of disappointment was evident in her eyes.

Gong Yixue naturally did not overlook this.

“Aunt Qiu, when we return to the capital, I will let you go out and meet Mother.”

Gong Yixue was well aware that Aunt Qiu and her mother had a close relationship, and that it was indeed her oversight that they hadn't seen each other for so long.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Qiu nodded gratefully.

Then, looking at You Luo and the other person, his gaze lingered on Chu Yi for a long time before he asked, "And who is this?"

She knew Youluo; after all, they had lived together for so long. But the man beside her… Although she had some guesses, she wasn’t sure, so she asked.

Gong Yixue glanced at the shy Youluo, then at Chu Yi.

That look seemed to say, "You decide what to say; I don't want to be a mouthpiece anymore."

Chu Yi bowed to Aunt Qiu and said respectfully, "Aunt Qiu, I am Chu Yi, Luo'er's boyfriend, and soon to be her husband."

Hearing this, Youluo became even more shy and nudged Chuyi with her arm.

Chu Yi, however, did not think he had said anything wrong.

When he gets back, he will speed up his preparations and make it clear as soon as possible that she is his wife.

Aunt Qiu watched the two of them, her smile deepening, and said, "Luo'er has excellent taste."

Youluo pursed her lips and nodded shyly.

Chu Yi said, "Thank you for the compliment, Aunt Qiu. My Luo'er certainly has good taste."

Youluo, “…” Huang Po was just praising her own wares.
