Chapter 846: Farewell
After finishing their business, the Chu family went home, and the Gu family also went to rest. Chu Yan followed Gu Yin to the backyard.
Seeing him like this, Gu Yin asked in confusion, "Aren't you going back to rest? Aren't you going abroad tomorrow? Aren't you going to pack your things?"
Chu Yan reached out and pulled her into his arms as they walked forward: "Everything's ready. You want me to spend the night alone? You can't be so heartless, can you? My lady~"
Gu Yin thought that there would be few opportunities for them to be together in the future, so she softened and compromised.
Behind her, Gu Hua pulled her grandmother and aunt aside, blushing, and said, "Ayin and Brother Chu slept together today, cough cough, don't you need to tell Ayin any precautions?"
The old lady paused for a moment, then muttered, "No wonder Ayan made that blood-nourishing soup today. So that's what it was all about. They are the fathers, so this is normal. Ayan knows everything he should be careful about. Let's not interfere, and you shouldn't go to Ayin either. Young people these days know more than we do. Let's not get involved!"
Li Mengxin, standing beside her, smiled and nodded: "I know, don't worry, I won't ask!" Now that her daughter is married, there are some things she can ask about, but it's best to keep quiet about some private matters.
Before dawn the next day, Gu Yin heard a noise next to her. She opened her eyes and saw Chu Yan getting ready to get up.
"What time is it?"
Chu Yan turned around upon hearing this: "Did I wake you up? It's still early, five o'clock, go back to sleep."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yin stood up: "I'm not going to sleep anymore. I'll take you to the airport later. I won't get out of the car; I want to stay with you."
Just as Chu Yan was about to refuse, he reached out and gently ruffled her newly grown stubble.
Gu Yin tilted her head: "Don't rub it, it's just grown out." Although it has grown very quickly, it is still too short. Gu Yin cherishes her hair so much that she doesn't even dare to touch it herself.
Chu Yan chuckled, took the clothes and handed them to her: "You get dressed and wash up first, I'll make breakfast."
No one in the house is up yet at this hour; the housekeeper gets up at 6 a.m.
When Chu Yan arrived at the front yard, he saw that the living room door was open and the lights were on. He walked in with a puzzled look and saw Gu Qinglang and Li Mengxin busy in the kitchen.
"Dad, Mom, why are you up so early?"
Gu Qinglang was making bone broth, and Li Mengxin was making dumplings. Both of them turned around when they heard this.
Li Mengxin glanced at the time and laughed, "I couldn't sleep anyway, so I got up. Your dad ordered fresh bones last night, and they just arrived. We were going out to eat dumplings, so I just packed some up. Why did you get up so early? Isn't your flight at eight? Go back to sleep for a while."
It wasn't just something they did casually; the two of them must have gotten up on purpose to prepare this meal for him. In the Chu family, everyone was used to traveling for work and didn't have many formalities. He could only often experience these heartwarming moments at the Gu family's home.
"I'm not going to sleep anymore, I'll help." After rolling up her sleeves and washing her hands, Chu Yan also started making dumplings.
Seeing that Chu Yan was wrapping the dumplings quite well, Li Mengxin smiled and said, "I thought that you scions of noble families wouldn't be able to do these kinds of manual labor, but I didn't expect you to be so good at it. Your cooking skills are pretty good too, and these dumplings look beautiful!"
Chu Yan chuckled: "I don't know if other children can do it, but my parents often go on business trips, and I don't go back to the old house much after I grew up. My aunt didn't want to ask me to come, so I learned some things. Later, I also learned some from Aunt Ya. As long as you are willing, it is actually very easy to learn."
Li Mengxin shook her head: "Your dad doesn't know how to make dumplings."
Gu Qinglang raised his eyebrows: "We live in the south and we basically don't eat dumplings. My mother only makes one for the winter solstice. When I was little, I couldn't even tell the difference between flour and wheat flour. When I grew up, I found kneading dough troublesome and never made it again. It's normal that I don't know how."
When Gu Yin arrived, she saw the three of them gathered together in the spacious kitchen, making dumplings, laughing and joking, just like a family of three.
After finishing making the dumplings, Chu Yan looked up and saw Gu Yin leaning against the door, smiling as she watched them.
Chu Yan raised an eyebrow: "You came here but didn't say a word, trying to slack off?"
Gu Yin chuckled and stepped forward: "You're willing to let me do it?"
“Ayan may not be willing, but your mother is! Bring me the vegetables.” Li Mengxin nodded, signaling Gu Yin to get to them.
Gu Yin chuckled twice and was about to take it when Chu Yan took a long stride and grabbed it in two quick movements.
"Just spoil her!"
"The soup is almost ready, the dumplings can be cooked now. Doesn't he spoil his wife?" Gu Qinglang was displeased. His daughter had to be spoiled! Besides, she wouldn't be spoiled too much.
"Dad's right!" Chu Yan happily took the dumplings.
Gu Yin was surprised: "When did you change your address? I didn't know!" He called her that so naturally!
Chu Yan chuckled: "The night after you left, I changed how I addressed you and even received a big red envelope. Today, when you went to the neighbor's house, you changed how you addressed them too. The red envelopes that Mom, Dad, Grandpa, and Grandma prepared have been in my pocket, just waiting for you to change how you addressed them. I'll let you in on a secret: those red envelopes are huge!"
Seeing his reaction, Gu Yin couldn't help but laugh: "Then I'll go get the red envelope when I get back!"
After breakfast, Chu Yan and Gu Yin got into the car.
Everyone looked at Chu Yan, their eyes filled with worry. They didn't know what would happen once he left.
"We won't say anything more. Be careful, your family is waiting for you. Remember, there are some things you can't touch!" Old Master Chu patted Chu Yan's shoulder solemnly.
Chu Yan nodded: "I have a feeling that I might not be able to get back for a while after I go out today. Grandpa, you all need to take care!"
After saying goodbye to their families, Chu Yan and Gu Yin got into the car.
The driver was the bodyguard captain. As soon as Gu Yin got in the car, she began to instruct: "Captain, send your men abroad to protect Chu Yan. Get the most elite batch. We don't care about the price."
After she finished speaking, she saw Chi Ye get into the car. Gu Yin asked in confusion, "Why did you get in?"
Chi Ye sat down after adjusting his clothes and looked at Gu Yin: "I'll go abroad with him. I'll protect him, and you'll help me take care of my sister, so she can be like Gu Ran. Is that alright?"
He had already thought this through. He would protect Chu Yan, and Gu Yin would protect and take care of his sister. Although Gu Yin would help even if he didn't go, it would be different. With him by Chu Yan's side, Gu Yin would definitely give some of her good things to his sister out of respect for Chu Yan. He didn't ask for much; he just wanted his sister to be able to safely overcome her tribulation and become a human like Gu Ran!
"Okay! Very okay! Absolutely perfect! Don't worry! I will definitely take care of her like my own sister! I'm entrusting my Ah Yan to you! But have you told Elder Jin yet?" With Chi Ye around, the safety is much more guaranteed.
Chi Ye nodded: "I already said so, he agreed."
The car started and arrived at the airport ten minutes later.
The captain looked at Gu Yin: "The people I arranged are waiting at the airport over there. Putting everything else aside, I can definitely bring you back safely. They are all top-notch mercenaries, the kind who can do everything. Miss, you can rest assured." If they can't bring her back, it means that all of her teammates have also sacrificed themselves.
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this, took out a jade bottle from her bag, and handed it to Chu Yan: "This is the medicine I made these past two days. It's similar to the one I gave you before. The golden one is for saving lives and should not be used until the very last moment. The other crimson ones are less effective, but they are also for saving lives. You should take care of yourself."
These were all obtained from the cultivation world for her own survival.
When the jade bottle was taken out, Chi Ye's eyelids twitched. The smell of this thing was so strong that it was obviously not from this world. He sighed helplessly and waved his hand.
"The spiritual energy is too strong, I'll shield it a bit."
Gu Yin smiled sheepishly and handed him another bottle: "This is for you. I'm counting on you all."
Chi Ye readily accepted it, nodded, and said nothing more.
Gu Yin didn't get out of the car afterward. She watched the two of them, wearing hats and masks, enter through the special entrance until they were out of sight, before letting the captain drive home.
Just as everyone had predicted, Chu Yan never returned after this parting. However, news about him never stopped; it was everywhere, both domestically and internationally.
