He originally thought that Jian Yixue, who had grown up alone, must be very lonely, but he never expected her inner world to be so... it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it childlike innocence.
Anyone unaware of the situation would never guess that this was an assassin's room.
Even he, who had received training since childhood, was as cold as winter before meeting Jian Yixue, and his whole being was incapable of being warm.
It was Jian Yixue's appearance that redeemed him from the abyss of loneliness.
"Xue'er, you are very outstanding." Ye Mohan turned to look at Jian Yixue.
Jian Yixue looked puzzled.
"What?"
“My Xue’er is excellent; she takes good care of herself while I’m not around.”
Ye Mohan pulled Jian Yixue into his arms and kissed her forehead.
At this moment, Jian Yixue finally understood Ye Mohan's meaning. She smiled and said in a pretentious manner, "If I hadn't taken good care of myself, I probably wouldn't have met you. Even if I had, you definitely wouldn't have been interested in me."
"How could that be? In my past life, I didn't know your secret, but I still loved you to death, didn't I?" Ye Mohan denied.
He had confessed his past to Jian Yixue before, and he loved her very much, but she didn't love him back then.
This proves that in his heart, he truly loves Jian Yixue herself, regardless of her identity.
"Don't tell me you didn't say it, I heard it very clearly," Ye Mohan continued.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue couldn't find a reason to argue.
"Yes, yes, I was overthinking it."
Looking at Jian Yixue's adorable appearance, Ye Mohan felt the glacier in an unknown corner of his heart melt away and disappear.
"We've been busy for so long, let's take a nap. We probably won't have a chance to rest until very late tonight," Ye Mohan said after thinking for a moment.
Seeing this, Jian Yixue thought of Youfeng's plan and nodded in agreement.
Tonight, I'm afraid we won't leave until we're completely drunk.
Then, as if remembering something, she raised her hand and opened it in front of Ye Mohan, revealing a pill in her palm.
"Eat it quickly."
Without asking any questions, Ye Mohan picked up the pill and swallowed it.
Seeing this, Jian Yixue slowly said, "Saying I came back to have a good get-together is probably just an attempt to get you drunk. What I gave you just now was a hangover cure; now you can practically drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
"Thank you, honey."
Ye Mohan was deeply moved by Jian Yixue's thoughtfulness.
He was well aware of the purpose of tonight's banquet.
However, he also wanted to experience Jian Yixue's past life firsthand, so he did not refuse.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue looked at Ye Mohan and said, "We never need to say thank you to each other; you're the one who told me that. You deserve to be punished!"
Ye Mohan immediately understood and smiled slightly, "It was my fault, I promise I won't do it again. How about I carry you to bed as punishment this time?"
After Jian Yixue agreed, he picked her up and carried her horizontally.
...
The Eastern Family, at the main gate.
"Qingyan, over here, over here." Youju waved to Dongfang Qingyan who was walking towards the door.
Dongfang Qingyan looked over and saw Youju looking excited, and smiled slightly.
Why are you here?
"I came to see you because I missed you, so you don't welcome me?" Youju asked, feigning nonchalance.
Upon hearing this, Qingyan smiled gently.
"How could that be? Come on, I'll take you inside."
"Okay." Youju nodded.
This was her first time visiting the Dongfang family home, and it seemed to be a quiet haven amidst the hustle and bustle.
It's a bit different from the territory their organization occupies, but this place doesn't look simple either.
That's why she called Qingyan right at the door and asked her to come out and pick her up.
...
On the other side, at the "Ghost Moon" secret base.
When Jian Yixue and the other woman woke up, it was already getting dark outside.
The two did not wake up on their own; they were awakened by a knock on the door.
"Boss, boss, wake up! The banquet is about to begin, we're waiting for you."
Jian Yixue rubbed her dazed head, opened her eyes, and sat up.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Upon hearing this, the person at the door got up and left.
Looking at the sky outside, Jian Yixue muttered, "It's started so early?"
"How long have we been asleep?" she asked, turning to Ye Mohan.
Ye Mohan smiled faintly, "If Xue'er is still sleepy after three hours, we can continue to sleep for a while."
Jian Yixue shook her head. "You slept for so long? Hurry up and get up and get ready, everyone's waiting."
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife," Ye Mohan said with a smile.
The two packed up quickly, and when they appeared on the lawn outside, a bonfire had already been lit, and some people were preparing a barbecue, making it a lively scene.
Looking at this warm and welcoming family, Jian Yixue felt a sense of warmth from her companions.
In this big family, everyone is like brothers and sisters, accompanying and supporting each other as we walk step by step through this chaotic world.
Although most people here have no family and have never experienced the warmth of family, so what?
They are each other's family and support.
"Boss, you're here. Come and sit down." One of them called out when he saw Jian Yixue.
Jane turned her head and saw that several people she knew well were slightly drunk on the grass mats.
Seeing this, Jian Yixue and her companion walked over and sat down on the open ground next to the group.
Then she picked up the wine glass from the small table above her head, took a sip, and looked at Youfeng, saying, "You're really generous today, bringing out such fine wine."
She knew that Youfeng loved tasting red wine and collecting it; he even had a wine cellar on the base, filled with his collection of rare red wines from all over the world.
"It is its honor to welcome the moon and cleanse it of its dust," Youfeng said dismissively.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue's lips curled into a wicked smile.
“It’s my honor. Come, let me toast everyone,” Jian Yixue said, raising her glass.
Seeing this, Ye Mohan looked somewhat helpless but did not stop it.
He knew that Jian Yixue must be feeling terrible after such a reunion that had taken two lifetimes to achieve.
Rather than keeping these feelings bottled up inside, he preferred that Jian Yixue vent through alcohol.
There were eight people in total, no, nine people including Ye Mohan.
With a shout of "Cheers!" everyone drank it all in one gulp.
They had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
They were overjoyed to see their boss again.
Afterwards, many of the assassins who had been with the organization before Jian Yixue left also came over one by one to toast her.
Seeing Jian Yixue looking so relaxed, Ye Mohan was very happy for her.
This is how she should be!
The rational, intelligent, and strategic woman she usually appears to be is not the real and happy person she is.
She shouldn't be living this kind of life.
She should be pampered and grow up carefree.
If I had met her sooner, maybe she wouldn't have had to suffer all that alone.
Ye Mohan felt a sudden pang of heartache.
