Ruan Tang's words made Yan Yu's eyes narrow.
In that bottomless darkness, it was as if a strong wind had blown away the mist, revealing clear patterns.
He stared at Ruan Tang, his voice not loud, but deep enough to strike right into one's heart.
"If that's the case, then the Ruan family, the Shen family (who are related to the Shen family through marriage), the Gu family, the Jin family, and the other two families all have very deep ancestral ties."
"Otherwise, it would be impossible for every family to own a jade pendant."
This deduction neatly and efficiently strings all the scattered beads together into a single line.
Ruan Tang nodded vigorously, her eyes shining, clearly having thought of it as well.
But the next second, it was as if her bones had been removed; her whole body went limp, and her shoulders collapsed.
That's the logic, but it didn't work for her.
What did the Ruan family's ancestors do?
Let alone her, who transmigrated halfway through the story, even the original owner, that pampered young lady, would probably know nothing about it.
All she knew was that the Ruan family was rich; as for how they got their money or who their ancestors were, who cared?
She sighed deeply, then decided to act spoiled, slumping into Yan Yu's arms and lazily giving up on thinking.
"Never mind, I can't figure it out, it gives me a headache."
Anyway, if the sky falls, her brother will hold it up.
but……
She was determined to obtain that spacetime power that could make Ruomu restless.
Ruan Tang was making her own plans.
She was still hoping to repair Ruomu, open a time-space passage, and return to that familiar world of cultivation.
After all, her silly, immortal father was still waiting for her over there.
Just thinking about the future, being able to bring such a tall, handsome man, who is equally at home in the living room and the kitchen, and who is invincible in the world, back to see my father in glory...
Ruan Tang's eyes lit up instantly, as if they were filled with stars.
Just thinking about that scene is exciting!
Then, she'll have to stand with her hands on her hips and brag to her dad: "See that?! Your daughter found her own Daoist partner! A million times better than those freaks you arranged for me!"
The more the little girl thought about it, the more beautiful she became. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, and her cheeks flushed a pretty pink. She exuded a silly, happy vibe.
Yan Yu looked down at her, not missing the vivid changes in her expression.
He had no idea what good things were going on in that little head of hers, but her delighted expression made his long-hardened heart feel a surge of warmth.
Without asking, he reached out his large hand and pressed her small face against his strong chest, enveloping her entirely with his body heat.
The air was filled with her unique, sweet, and clean fragrance.
Whatever she thinks, as long as she's happy.
The two leaned against each other, temporarily putting aside the hot jade pendants.
The days flew by amidst the aroma of meat filling the house and the daily meals.
Before we knew it, it was Lunar New Year's Eve.
This is the first New Year that Yan Yu and Ruan Tang have spent together in this world.
Early in the morning, the puppet grandmother stirred up a storm in the kitchen, taking on all the work by herself: kneading dough, chopping filling, and seasoning. Her hands moved so fast they were practically blurry.
Yan Yu wasn't idle either; he was in charge of rolling out dumpling wrappers.
His fingers were long and strong, yet he rolled out the dough quickly and evenly, producing thin, uniform sheets of dough of consistent size, which soon covered the cutting board with a blanket of white.
Ruan Tang remained the same unwavering supervisor.
She moved a small stool and sat obediently at the kitchen doorway, resting her chin on her knees, chatting with Yan Yu while accepting the food she was being fed with a sense of entitlement.
