Jiang Yilai linked arms with him, a genuine smile on her face.
"I can only tell you that this was a private matter that Gu Qihang asked me to handle. It has nothing to do with us. It has already been resolved. It's that simple."
Since it concerned Gu Qihang, he had no interest in knowing.
"I'll forgive you this time, but if this happens again, I'll punish you."
"Okay, I've got it."
It was rare for Fu Nanxiao to find time to come back, and Jiang Yilai thought he was at the old house preparing for his birthday banquet.
Jiang Wenchao and his sister ran up to her, took her hands, and said with a smile, "Mom, Uncle said he wants to build a playground for us in the backyard."
Jiang Wenxi happily added, "My great-uncle said he'd install a carousel for me."
"There's also a roller coaster!" Jiang Wenchao replied excitedly.
Jiang Yilai was also surprised, not expecting Gu Mingen to be so thoughtful as to create a playground for the children in the backyard.
"It seems that your great-uncle really loves you."
Fu Nanxiao retorted, "I had someone build an amusement park in the Fu family compound a long time ago, but I didn't tell you until now, to give you a surprise."
Jiang Yilai chuckled after hearing this, and hugged his arm, laughing, "How come you're even jealous of your uncles?"
Fu Nanxiao coughed twice; he didn't like using that word to describe himself.
Seeing the proud look on his face, Jiang Yilai said, "I am very happy that everyone loves the children so much and will let them grow up in a happy and warm environment."
A bright light flashed in Fu Nanxiao's eyes. Wasn't this the childhood he had always dreamed of?
His children are now enjoying everything he once longed for, and he should be happy about that.
Seeing Jiang Yilai's serious expression, he held her in his hands with tenderness.
"You're right, I'll try to spend more time with them whenever I can."
"You've already done it, and done it very well."
Jiang Yilai's words always warmed his heart and healed the wounds Fu Nanxiao had suffered.
Jiang Yilai returned to the house, and Grandma Gu beckoned her over.
"Lai Lai, what did your cousin want with you just now?"
It turned out she had seen everything. Jiang Yilai shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing, my cousin was just asking about some legal issues."
"I've never seen him so flustered before. Could something have happened?"
"Grandma, don't worry, everything has been taken care of. You saw how happy he was."
Only after hearing this did Grandma Gu feel relieved. Looking at the sensible Jiang Yilai, she stroked her face with satisfaction.
"I was worried that you wouldn't get along with everyone when you came back, but I didn't expect you to get along so well with everyone."
Grandma Gu hadn't forgotten how Du Yi's face was as black as charcoal when Mei Yin first came to the family, and he almost never gave her a kind look.
Now, Du Yi's gaze towards Jiang Yilai is gradually changing, showing more of an elder's affection.
"We're all family, and we'll develop feelings for each other as we get to know each other better."
Jiang Yilai understood perfectly well that the reason for this harmony was the absence of any conflict of interest.
If I had accepted the Gu family's shares back then, I would have inevitably become Du Yi's enemy.
She wasn't afraid, of course; she simply disdained to earn those things.
All Jiang Yilai wanted was to stay by Fu Nanxiao and their child's side and focus on her career; she didn't care about anything else.
“I know it’s all because you’re so understanding. I’m so glad that I was able to live so comfortably during my last days.”
"Grandma, enjoy your retirement. We'll always be there for you."
