All Chen Yao could concentrate on was her husband’s health. She merely said to Shi Nian, “Gu Bei and I don’t manage the Gu family’s affairs, but we have had some success in our own businesses over the years. I know Gu Bei’s intentions, and we do our best to repay those who have helped us.”

“We only had one daughter, Xiao He, and Xiao He only had Yun Nan for a daughter. Therefore, as her husband, we rely on you. Do as your grandfather tells you to on the things he’d instructed, and do as you deem fit for those he hasn’t instructed you on. When we get to Rong City, I’ll ask his assistant to come to you for a debriefing.”

Shi Nian was stunned at that, but he finally nodded. “Grandma, take care of

Grandpa. I’ll take care of everything.”

Chen Yao nodded in satisfaction. The Gu family was a big family. Fortunately, Gu Bei was the second son and didn’t have to bear the responsibility of the rise and fall of the entire family.

Even so, their clan members were quite disgruntled when the couple put all their efforts into finding their daughter, and even Gu Bei’s elder brother, the clan leader, had tried to dissuade them multiple times. However, Gu Bei was someone who put family and relationships first. Since his ‘lack of motivation’ in their family matters had caused dissatisfaction among the clan members, he’d simply resigned from all his positions in the family business and completely separated himself from the Gu family.

For many years, they had been looking for their daughter while starting from scratch, slowly turning what they liked into a career. They had built an independent business empire for their daughter, one that had nothing to do with the Gu family. Whether it was his talent in business or his love for his family, wife, and daughter, Gu Bei was a legend.

Xiang Yang was exhausted both physically and mentally. The trip to Lu Town didn’t ease her mood. She missed Shi Ke, missed him very much. However, she couldn’t call him or even send him a message. She knew the nature of his job and would never risk his safety.

Xiang Yang went to her studio and looked at the painting ‘ Waiting that Yun Nan had given her, thousands of thoughts running through her mind. ‘ What did I do in this life that I got to meet such a good man after my heart was riddled with holes? she wondered.

She took out her sketchbook and stared dazedly at the blank page. Xiang Yang wanted to design a set of unique jewelry that only belonged to her and Shi Ke, one that could represent her love for him and have magic that would make them stay together for the rest of their lives.

However, she couldn’t put down a single stroke after sitting quietly for a long while. Xiang Yang sighed and closed the sketchbook. ‘A trip to the bar might help clear my mind,’ she thought.
