Gu Shouxin realized that he had almost forgotten his heart-to-heart talk with Gu Nian, but he didn't immediately look at her.
Gu Nian grasped Cai Lian's hand and smiled, "Mom, I don't think about it that much anymore. I've accepted it, really. Although modern times are much more convenient than ancient times, I don't have parents in modern times! My brother and sister-in-law are very good to me, and I'm reluctant to leave them, but they still have my nephew and niece, so they won't be too devastated just because I'm gone. My nephew and niece are so naughty, not nearly as cute as Xin Xin, and not as well-behaved as Si Si."
"Here, I've experienced love I've never felt before—love between grandparents and grandchildren, uncles and nephews, fathers and daughters, mothers and daughters, and sisters. I love it here. Even if I found that master somewhere, even if I had the chance to go back, I don't think I would choose to go back! I love my father, I love my mother, and I love our whole Gu family. So, Mother, please don't do this anymore. I'm afraid I'll feel like you don't want me, your daughter with a teenage body and a twenty-something soul!"
Cai Lian hugged Gu Nian tightly: "Silly child, how could I not want you? I want you so badly. You're smart, sensible, beautiful, skilled in martial arts, and we have common interests. You're like a sister to me. How could I not want you?"
Gu Nian: "Then Mother, please don't say things like that anymore! From now on, there are three strange souls, and my sister is a strange koi fish. The four of us are meant to be a family and can't be separated!"
Gu Shouxin couldn't stand it anymore: "You two stop being so lovey-dovey! Niannian, it would be so nice if you were ten years older, then I could enjoy the days when my daughter rode on my shoulders and I could show her off!"
Gu Nian stepped out of Cai Lian's arms, ran to Gu Shouxin, and hugged him: "Dad, where we're from, it's okay for a daughter to hug her dad!"
Gu Shouxin patted Gu Nian's arm with a smile: "We've found that master. If possible, we'd really like to go to your place."
Cai Lian sighed, "Honestly, I'd rather stay here than in modern times. Here, the pressure is less, the relationships are more genuine, and home is a big, lively family. It was just a little hard to get used to at first, but now that Nian Nian has gradually made up for all the things I wasn't used to, I've gotten used to it. I love this slow-paced life here."
Gu Shouxin: "Alright! Since my wife likes it, I will work hard to pass the imperial examinations so that she can go out to earn money whenever she wants, or enjoy life at home whenever she wants. I will make you three the most enviable women in this Great Zhou."
Cai Lian and Gu Nian exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Alright then! Dad, you do your best! We'll be waiting!"
Then the whole family laughed together: "Hahahaha..."
After laughing, I realized something was missing.
Oh, Xin Xin is missing.
But should they reveal their true identities to Xin Xin?
They had considered this possibility, but they were afraid that if things went wrong, Xin Xin would be afraid of them, because their three strange souls weren't Xin Xin's real parents and sisters, even if they could genuinely be good to her.
Gu Shouxin sighed, "Forget it, let's deal with this when there's a more suitable opportunity later. With more time, Xinxin will be older and might not be able to accept it well. As for Lu Zheng, let's not treat him like the male lead in the book, let's just treat him like Zhou Yuan! After all, this guy has already killed Lu Zheng, burned to a blackened corpse. He probably doesn't want to be Lu Zheng anymore, he wants to be Zhou Yuan!"
