Therefore, he chose to be her family, her sworn brother, and to protect her forever.
So Ye Wenxi nodded.
"Yes, I met you when I was at my lowest point, so at that time I vowed that I would work hard and become as strong as you."
After all these years, I've finally done it.
"So, I want to say thank you. Now that I've become your family, I will definitely protect you in the future."
Gu Jingchun's eyes welled up with tears, and he felt a surge of emotion.
She never imagined that after all these years of hardship with Gu Jinxi, she would have made so many good friends, all of whom were willing to give up everything for each other.
Gu Jingchun's voice trembled.
"Is this why you turned back halfway when you were trying to save me?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Wenxi paused for a moment before chuckling softly.
"That's not important. Now that I've confirmed your safety and Shen Hechuan is by your side, there's no need for me to go over there."
"Moreover, there are still many affairs to manage in Tianjing Trading Company. Since you are not here, as the second-in-command, I should naturally come back as soon as possible and take care of things more."
Gu Jingchun nodded with a smile.
"Yes, our business is thriving thanks to you. This year's share is all yours."
Ye Wenxi frowned.
"Now that we're family, the things from Tianjing Trading Company are yours, which is also mine, so there's no difference."
Gu Jingchun was still smiling.
"If that's the case, then I'll be making even more money than before, and I won't even have to give you any dividends."
Ye Wenxi suddenly turned around, her tone more serious than ever before.
“Jingchun, when I said I would be your sworn brother, I wasn’t just saying it casually.”
Gu Jingchun also paused, looked into Ye Wenxi's clear eyes, and slowly nodded.
"Okay, I understand."
She concealed the heat in her eyes.
"Thank you, Wenxi."
"Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today."
“I also know that you must have discovered all the marks I left on the way when Mo Junxing took me away, which is why you were able to find me in the shortest time and quickly arrange everything.”
Ye Wenxi nodded, then shook her head.
"That's all thanks to your intelligence. If you hadn't sent out Tianjing's token, I wouldn't have been able to find you no matter how capable I was."
As they talked, they looked at each other and soon burst into laughter.
As Gu Jingchun was speaking, Shen Hechuan walked in with Gu Jinxi.
As soon as the two entered, they saw Gu Jingchun and Ye Wenxi smiling, and their faces immediately turned red with anger.
"snort!"
He snorted coldly and spoke to Gu Jinxi in a low voice.
"That Ye Wenxi is really persistent. Your mother just left the palace and he's already clinging to her. He's really despicable."
Gu Jinxi glanced at the two of them before belatedly speaking.
"Father, are you jealous?"
"Why are you jealous? I'm not!"
Shen Hechuan snorted angrily before pulling Gu Jinxi along and striding over.
"What are you two talking about that makes you seem so happy!"
The last two words, "happy," were said in a sinister tone.
Gu Jingchun was surprised that Shen Hechuan had arrived so early and stood up in astonishment.
"Why are you here?"
"Have you finished dealing with matters in the palace?"
Shen Hechuan: "What are the things in the palace? If I hadn't come soon, my own wife would have been kidnapped."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wenxi showed no reaction on her face, but immediately stood up and bowed to Shen Hechuan and Gu Jinxi respectively.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I came here today only because I was worried about Jing Chun and came to check on her. Now that I've confirmed she's alright, I'm relieved and will be leaving now."
As he spoke, he added another sentence.
"I have already explained to everyone that I have recognized Jingchun as my sworn sister. Your Majesty can rest assured that I will never have any other thoughts about Jingchun in the future, and I will do my best to serve the court."
Shen Hechuan liked to hear this, and he snorted coldly, which was considered his agreement.
While the two were talking, Gu Jingchun went into the room and took out a long box, which is why he called Ye Wenxi back.
"Wenxi, please wait a moment."
"This is something Xin Shengyuan asked me to bring back, saying it was yours."
As he spoke, he handed the box to Ye Wenxi.
Ye Wenxi suddenly froze, and her pupils changed for a moment when she saw the box.
After a moment, he chuckled softly.
"It's nothing valuable, just some trinkets I collected earlier. If you like it, you can keep it for yourself."
Gu Jingchun knew that Ye Wenxi had always enjoyed collecting good things.
Since these were things Ye Wenxi had collected himself, she naturally couldn't keep them, so she pushed them to him.
"Since this is yours, you should keep it."
Ye Wenxi smiled gently.
"It's nothing important. If you hadn't brought it, I probably would have forgotten about it. Keep it if you like it, and throw it away if you don't."
After saying that, without waiting for Gu Jingchun's reaction, he bowed to Shen Hechuan and left quickly.
Gu Jingchun looked at Ye Wenxi's retreating figure, then glanced helplessly at Shen Hechuan before carefully examining the box in his hand.
The box is made entirely of rosewood and inlaid with mother-of-pearl, making each side exquisite and beautiful.
It was because of this box that Gu Jingchun carried it carefully the whole way, afraid that Ye Wenxi would damage it.
Unexpectedly, Ye Wenxi said that this was not a good thing.
She glanced at it again before slowly opening the box.
What comes into view is a crystal-clear hairpin, its surface smooth and lustrous, with emerald green floating flowers on it.
The flakes are delicate and lively, and the skin feels cool to the touch.
The top of the hairpin is an intricately carved plum blossom branch with three plum blossoms on it.
Below, three plum blossom tassels hang down.
These tiny tassels are all carved from jade, and are extremely exquisite, demonstrating the carver's exceptional skill and dedication.
This hairpin was so stunning that Gu Jingchun fell in love with it at first glance.
Shen Hechuan also noticed the amazement in Gu Jingchun's eyes and couldn't help but let out a soft hum.
"It's just an ordinary hairpin. I'll have people make you more and more beautiful hairpins and jewelry in the future."
He then had Gu Jingchun put the hairpin inside, and then closed the box.
Gu Jingchun hesitated as he held the box.
"This...it really doesn't seem like something I don't want, I..."
Shen Hechuan glanced at the box and casually said:
“Since it’s something he doesn’t want, but you like it, then you can keep it. You can’t carry it around in your vanity case anyway.”
