Lian Guoying had already promised to save Yun Gaofei's life when he was in danger, but Zhou Yi did not feel relieved.
"Junior sister, you don't have to worry too much. You should believe in the ability of your sweetheart." Lian Guoying said.
"Senior Brother, let's go back." Zhou Yi now wanted to go back to the Xiguan Mansion immediately to see if Yun Gaofei had returned.
Lian Guoying didn't say anything more and returned to the Xiguan house with Zhou Yi.
I learned from the servants that Yun Gaofei did come back, but went out again and took all his luggage with him.
Lian Guoying wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't open his mouth.
Zhou Yi went upstairs and returned to his room to wash up. Only then did he see a letter on the desk. It was written by Yun Gaofei.
She didn't open it immediately, but sat on the terrace with the letter. The servants knew that Zhou Yi liked to sit on the terrace, so they prepared tea and pastries for her early.
Zhou Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip before opening the envelope.
She thought Yun Gaofei would tell her about this mission, but the letter was full of Yun Gaofei's instructions to her, about life, work, and all kinds of instructions. As for himself, he simply said that this mission might take longer.
In the end, I just said that the matter was of great importance and time was urgent, and I couldn't wait for her to come back, so I apologized.
Zhou Yi looked at the two or three pages full of instructions for herself, and felt a little uncomfortable. There was clearly no trace of danger in the letter, but she couldn't help but feel worried.
Zhou Yi didn't know how long he sat on the terrace. He didn't even notice when the servant brought dinner.
Finally, Lian Guoying came up and pulled Zhou Yi back to his senses: "Little Junior Sister, don't worry, I have just made arrangements, nothing will happen."
After Lian Guoying finished speaking, he filled a bowl of soup for Zhou Yi.
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Zhou Yi thanked him again, then took the bowl of soup he handed over and started drinking.
"Junior sister, you've already said thank you twice today. It seems strange." Lian Guoying looked at Zhou Yi with a hint of reproach. "Besides, you really should have more confidence in Yun Gaofei. He's very good."
Lian Guoying has conducted a very detailed investigation on Yun Gaofei during this period. Apart from the issue of his marriage to his junior sister, Yun Gaofei is indeed a rare talent in the army, who has made his way step by step with his own strength.
The most important thing is that he has excellent moral character and firm values.
"Senior Brother, are you in love with him?" Zhou Yi smiled and said mischievously.
In fact, Zhou Yi had just thought it through. Yun Gaofei's ambition had always been there, and he was destined to face various dangers, but she should be proud of him, proud of his work, and should believe that he would be able to handle it well.
Lian Guoying saw Zhou Yi's worry disappear in an instant, and he suspected she was forcing a smile, but he still agreed with her and said, "Little Junior Sister, don't worry. I, your senior brother, only like young girls and have no interest in old men like Yun Gaofei."
Zhou Yi laughed when he heard this: "Big Brother, I heard that you are a few years older than Yun Gaofei."
Zhou Yi was speechless when he heard Lian Guoying, who was in his early thirties, say that Yun Gaofei, who was twenty-seven, was an old man.
"But I look ten years younger than him." Lian Guoying continued.
Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, Yun Gaofei does look a year or two older than Lian Guoying because he is often on missions and is a serious person.
"I agree with this point. My senior brother is very handsome. He should have won the hearts of many young girls, right?" Zhou Yi looked at Lian Guoying curiously.
"Junior sister, you are still a child. You can't know too much about these things." Lian Guoying waved her hand in response.
"Senior Brother, let's get down to business. You really don't feel uncomfortable about me using Hong Xiqiu, right? If you do, I will replace him immediately." Zhou Yi said to Lian Guoying.
Lian Guoying put away his smile and replied, "Junior Sister, your elder brother is not so narrow-minded. If Hong Xiqiu is really capable, you can use him. But if he is not, you must replace him immediately. The development speed of cultivation is very fast now, so you must speed up the process."
Zhou Yi nodded: "I knew that my eldest brother's stomach could hold a boat."
"It's not that my belly can hold the boat, it's the love that my father and master's wife have given me over the years that is enough for me to face the unbearable past." Lian Guoying said with a smile.
This was a heartfelt statement. Although he had expressed his gratitude to Su Mingzhe and Qin Qin many times, even if he talked for his entire life, he would never be able to express even one ten-thousandth of the gratitude in his heart.
"Big Brother, in my parents' hearts, you are all their biological children. In this sense, I am the happiest one, having six such outstanding brothers at my disposal." Zhou Yi looked at Lian Guoying mischievously.
"You~" Lian Guoying poked Zhou Yi's forehead.
Zhou Yi rubbed his head, looked at Lian Guoying seriously and said, "Big Brother, everything is ready for the garment factory. I'll finalize the layout of the factory in the next two days and start construction. There are a lot of things waiting for me next."
She knew that at this time, she could do nothing but believe in Yun Gaofei. Instead of worrying all day, she might as well keep herself busy.
"If you need any help, just let me know." Lian Guoying filled Zhou Yi's small bowl with rice and then filled it with vegetables.
Zhou Yi nodded and started eating. He had to fill his stomach so that he could deal with things one by one and wait for Yun Gaofei to come back.
She had become accustomed to Yun Gaofei being by her side, and now he suddenly said that he would be away on a mission for a long time. In addition to being worried, Zhou Yi was actually quite uncomfortable with it, but she was even more uncomfortable expressing this emotion.
That's why he changed the subject and stopped talking to Lian Guoying about Yun Gaofei.
When Lian Guoying went downstairs to rest, he reminded Zhou Yi again not to worry, as he had already made all the arrangements.
Although Zhou Yi changed the subject, he knew very well that unless Yun Gaofei came back, Zhou Yi would always feel uneasy.
After Lian Guoying went downstairs, Zhou Yi looked up at the night sky. There was no moon tonight, and not even a single star could be seen. Even the brightest star did not appear.
It was late at night when Zhou Yi returned to his room to rest.
Early the next morning, Zhou Yi went to Meiyi's office to discuss the garment factory matters with Hong Xiqiu and Jiang Letian.
In the next few days, she tried to keep herself busy, but no matter how busy or tired she was during the day, she still couldn't sleep well at night.
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the Meiyi Garment Factory was already under construction in full swing. Yun Gaofei still had not returned, but from Lian Guoying's words, we knew that he was at least safe.
Until this day, Lian Guoying stood in front of Zhou Yi with a frown on his face.
