By this time, Gu Tingzhi's injuries had fully healed, but the seriously injured researchers had not yet fully recovered. Gu Tingzhi thought for a moment, "We have to wait a little longer. Their injuries are too severe, and they are not fully recovered yet. They are scholars, and the journey back to China will be full of hardships. If they go back now, they probably won't be able to hold on. We'll have to wait at least another half month."
Meng Fuyan nodded, "Then let's wait a little longer. I was just asking. My mother is recovering very well and no longer needs my personal care. I want to go back to China to resolve things as soon as possible so that I can come back in time for the start of the new semester this year."
The afternoon sun shone brightly on the living room floor. Gu Tingzhi, dressed in simple home clothes, nestled in a single sofa. Upon hearing this, he reached out and pulled Meng Fuyan into his arms, and the two of them snuggled together on the sofa.
He held a magazine in his hand, pointed to a dress in it, and asked Meng Fuyan, "Do you like this?"
A light blue dress with lantern sleeves, a Peter Pan collar, and a tulle skirt with layers upon layers. The cut and fabric clearly indicate that the dress is high-end, much like the dresses worn by female protagonists in some movies.
"like!"
Gu Tingzhi smiled and said, "Then I'll have someone buy it for you."
He continued flipping through the magazine in his hand, chatting with Meng Fuyan, "Are you going back to China with us too?"
"Um!"
"Are you going to stay there for a while?"
"Yes! I miss Yunji, so I definitely need to go back and spend time with him. It's not easy for Mom to go back too, so the three of us should get together!"
Then Dad will be there too, and the whole family will be reunited.
If she doesn't stay even for a day, she'll just go abroad. Her dad will probably be furious.
Back in China, he taught her to be independent and self-reliant, saying he wanted to raise a daughter with her own opinions, not someone else's daughter-in-law. But then she ran away. He definitely wouldn't agree to that.
According to Lu Guozhong's logic, he would most likely deal with the enemies in Kyoto, then marry her mother, and the four of them would live together. He might even arrange a job for her.
Why would it be so easy to let her go abroad and run to Gu Tingzhi's side?
Gu Tingzhi pursed his lips, "Then... how long will it take to get back?"
Meng Fuyan raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong? Are you worried I won't come back?"
Gu Tingzhi hugged her tighter. "Of course I'm worried. Your mother and brother are in China, so home is the most comfortable place. What if they don't let you come out?"
Yan Yan's family is so well-off, and this girl has a space in the world where she lacks nothing. Once she's in China, her family will be with her, so she might not necessarily go abroad.
Besides...
Gu Tingzhi looked up at Meng Suqin in the back garden.
This is his future mother-in-law!
My mother-in-law has been acting strangely lately. She's been taking supplements every day, wearing new clothes every day, and dressing up more and more beautifully. The spiritual spring water that Yanyan used is really effective; she looks younger and younger.
She's not old to begin with, not even forty, and now, after being nourished by the spiritual spring water, she looks even younger. Once she returns to China, she'll definitely have many suitors. If she really gets married, her family will be complete, making it even less likely that Yan Yan will go abroad.
There are even more serious cases...
Gu Tingzhi had been thinking about many things lately and realized that he had overlooked many details. Yanyan was probably still hiding something from him.
Perhaps it wasn't intentional, but simply unnecessary to say it.
Based on his understanding of Meng Suqin over this period of time, this mother-in-law was definitely not a simple person when she was young. She would have had a hard time being interested in someone like Wu Guozhu, even if she didn't know at first that Wu Guozhu was an enemy agent and misjudged him.
But given Wu Guozhu's circumstances, it's unlikely he would have been willing to marry Meng Suqin at such a young age and have her child.
It was so unusual that Meng Yunji was born after Yanyan was already quite old. The Meng family was destitute and dwindling in number. Logically, Meng Suqin should have had a second child soon after giving birth to Yanyan, but she didn't.
Lu Guozhong helped his mother-in-law go abroad, and Lu Jianjun has treated Yan Yan and her siblings like his own children all these years. His mother-in-law's mortal enemy is Lu Guozhong's wife, and now that Lu Guozhong has promised to get rid of that woman, his mother-in-law has agreed to return to China.
That woman had stayed by Lu Guozhong's side for so many years, and even Yanyan knew her identity. The higher-ups must have known. There could only be one explanation for keeping her around: that woman had powerful connections, and the organization wanted to keep her around as a counter-espionage agent to obtain intelligence or spread false information.
Suddenly, Lu Guozhong wanted to deal with that woman. This was a matter that would change the organization's work. Lu Guozhong, that workaholic, would not normally do such a thing.
Besides, he'd been observing her for a long time recently, and the more he looked, the more he felt that Yanyan's appearance resembled Lu Guozhong's. If that were true, then...
Gu Tingzhi felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He felt that his future path was probably going to be a bit difficult.
He sent someone else's wife back, but his own wife might be detained.
Lu Guozhong is unlikely to allow Yanyan to go abroad.
Meng Fuyan also considered this possibility. If her father knew everything and married her mother, he certainly wouldn't let her out so easily; he wouldn't feel at ease.
but……
Meng Fuyan smiled and said, "I will come out. I am the girlfriend assigned to you by the organization. My mission is not yet completed, so of course I have to come out."
Gu Tingzhi hugged the person closer, but he wasn't comforted at all.
That's just an excuse; Lu Guozhong could resolve it with a single sentence.
"How long will it take you to get back?"
"Two or three months, I'll try my best to get back before school starts."
