That one word, "go home," made Fuying cry even louder.
Yes, home. Now she can finally go home. Home is only where Sister Momo is.
"I'm in XX. I took a cruise to the city early this morning," Fuying said obediently, sobbing as she gave her location.
Now, Gu Momo was even more certain of her guess and comforted her with heartache, "Sweetie, I'll have someone pick you up in the city."
"Um."
Fu Ying nodded and hung up the phone. At the same time, the sound of a ship's horn could be heard in the distance.
As if welcoming her new life, the rising sun fell on the ship, bringing new hope as it sailed towards her.
This time, she will never be controlled by anyone again, and she will never compromise herself for anyone. She is who she is, irreplaceable, and needs no change.
Fu Ying returned to the capital of L country, and Gu Momo, having received the news in advance, waited for him at the Ye family manor.
Gu Wanrou stood beside her and, seeing her gaze fixed on the door, gently patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, we've already gone to pick them up, they should be here soon."
In fact, Gu Momo was not only worried about Fu Ying's safety, but also about the girl's emotions. She wondered what grievances Fu Ying had suffered at Ye Sijue's hands.
“She was crying so hard when she called me yesterday.”
Gu Wanrou sighed, "It's good that she's crying so hard. If she's crying so hard, it proves that she's really figured it out and understood. She's liked Ye Sijue for so long, it's time for it to end."
"Yes, it's simply impossible to change a person."
As Gu Momo was thinking, she saw two figures walking in the distance. She recognized them at a glance as her subordinate and Fu Ying.
Fu Ying, who was in the distance, also saw her. Her slow pace immediately turned into a jog, and she ran all the way to Gu Momo's side, throwing herself into her arms.
"Sister Momo, I miss you so much~ I thought I'd never see you again~"
"Silly girl, what are you saying! How could you not see me? You've seen me now, haven't you?" Gu Momo gently patted her back to comfort her.
"Sister Momo, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have disobeyed you and shouldn't have made my own decisions. It's all my fault." Fu Ying lowered her head in guilt.
"I don't blame you. It's normal that you couldn't listen to me back then."
Gu Momo knew that she must have encountered something very sad, otherwise she wouldn't be in such a hurry to return to her side. She really didn't feel any blame for her, only heartache.
Young girls blinded by love only realize how naive their initial thoughts were after they've hit a wall.
Fortunately, Fuying has now understood this principle, so it's not too late.
Gu Wanrou also comforted her, saying, "It's alright, Fuying, don't cry. Your sister Momo won't blame you. She's just worried about you and afraid something might have happened to you."
Fu Ying felt a little better. After wiping away her tears, she lifted her head from Gu Momo's embrace.
"Sister Momo, Sister Ruyan, I've thought everything through. From now on, I'll obediently stay by your side and work hard with you to build our careers, just like before. I just don't know if you're still willing to take me in."
Looking at the determination and forbearance in Fu Ying's eyes, Gu Momo felt as if she were seeing herself five years ago.
At that time, she made the same decision: never again to be bound by any emotions, and to devote herself wholeheartedly to what she loved.
Once a person is able to get out of the dead end they have set for themselves, they will surely be greeted by a vast new world.
"You silly girl, what did you do wrong? You just followed your heart and did what you thought was important. Although the result wasn't what you wanted, at least you were brave, weren't you? Why should we blame you for your bravery?" Gu Momo gently comforted her.
Gu Wanrou responded with a smile, "That's right. Do you think your sister Momo and I are such unreasonable people? If you've been wronged or are unhappy, the fact that you came to us shows that we didn't take you in for nothing. How could your older sister blame her for being young and ignorant?"
Hearing their words, Fu Ying felt even more guilty.
Despite the numerous attempts by Momo and Wanrou to persuade him, he stubbornly refused to listen and insisted on returning in this battered and bruised state.
Fortunately, both of her older sisters were so understanding and didn't blame her.
Fuying rushed into their arms, opening her arms wide to hug them tightly: "Sister Momo, Sister Wanrou, thank you, you are so kind."
Gu Momo and Gu Wanrou exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
......
That night, considering that Fuying's emotions were not very stable, Gu Momo decided to stay with him for the night.
After washing up, the two sat cross-legged on the sofa in their pajamas, and Fuying began to tell Gu Momo about what had happened during this period.
"Sister Momo, do you think I'm stupid? I actually tried to warm Ye Sijue's cold heart."
"People always fantasize about things they haven't done, but at least you tried, right?"
Gu Momo never imagined that Ye Sijue would be so pathological. He kept saying that he didn't like Fu Ying, yet he locked her in his residence and even cut off all her contact with the outside world.
She could hardly imagine how Fuying had managed to hold on until the day she could escape.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will never let Ye Sijue touch a hair on your head again."
Fu Ying shook her head. "Sister Momo, I can't trouble you any further. You and Ye Sijue already have conflicts. If my actions make him resent you even more, I'll feel terrible."
Gu Momo chuckled, "Why are you thinking so much? My grudges with him have nothing to do with you. I want to protect you because you are my person. If Ye Sijue dares to touch my people, I will never let him get away with it."
"No, Sister Momo, I don't want to cause any more trouble, and besides, I don't want Ye Sijue to find me again." Fu Ying's eyes were filled with a resolute determination to fight to the death. "I just hope to disappear from his world completely."
This was the first time Gu Momo had seen Fu Ying like this. Gone was her usual playful and cute demeanor; instead, she had become more profound. For a moment, Gu Momo didn't know how to comfort her.
"Sister Momo, I remember you can make human skin masks, right?" Fu Ying suddenly asked.
Gu Momo understood what she meant, "You mean..."
