“Uncle Ying, thank you for protecting Mother and bringing her back safely.” This time, it was San Bao who took the initiative to greet him.

His feelings toward Gu Ying were very complicated. On one hand. he admired

Gu Yings skills and abilities, but on the other hand, he hated Gu Ying for staying by his mother’s side.

He didn’t have a deep impression of his father, Qin Ming, but that didn’t mean that he could accept anyone as his stepfather.

After the discussion about his stepfather in the carriage yesterday, he had been thinking about what would happen if Gu Ying really became his stepfather. After thinking about it all night, the result was… That feeling should be pretty good!

Her mother was a very strong woman. Of course, a man who could match her had to be at least on par with her.

Previously, they had secretly thought that perhaps Mr. Du could become that person, but now they thought about it, there was still something missing.

Especially after Uncle Ying’s appearance, her mother’s behavior toward him was completely different from how she treated Mr. Du. No, it was completely different!

Although they were still very young and there were many things that they did not understand, at least they could tell who their mother was more natural and happy with.

“Uncle Ying has worked hard!”

Tang Tang and Si Bao also thanked Gu Ying.

Although these two babies also missed their biological father, Qin Ming, they did not even have the most basic impression of him.

In addition, Gu Ying looked almost identical to Qin Ming, so it was not that difficult for them to accept it. At least with the effect of empathy, this process would only be simpler and not more difficult.

“Thank you.”

Er Bao and Da Bao also expressed their gratitude. They only said two simple words.

It was already good enough for Gu Ying that they could express their opinions. He did not pick on their attitudes. After all, there was only one person he cared about wholeheartedly, and that was MO Ruyue.

“Alright, let’s not stand at the door. Let’s go home. In order to celebrate our reunion today, Mother will make you a good meal today!”

MO Ruyue’s announcement immediately drew a burst of cheers from the babies.

It had been a long time since they had eaten their mother’s cooking.

During the time she was out saving people, it was not easy to even see her, let alone eat the food she cooked.

For the babies, MO Ruyue’s cooking was the best reward for them.

Everyone quickly returned to the courtyard. Before preparing the food, they had to arrange Deng Feng and Gu Ying’s accommodation.

MO Ruyue naturally wanted to sleep together with Tang Tang. Mr. and Mrs. Liu would stay in one room, and the four boys would stay in two rooms. The rooms in the courtyard were more or less enough.

Gu Ying and Deng Feng could sleep in the same room, but MO Ruyue had already taken this into consideration when she rented the house. Therefore, she spared no expense to rent this small two-story courtyard. The wing room was just enough for the two of them to share a room each.

“Brother Feng, later, you, Uncle Liu, and Aunt Liu will go around the streets and see what else you can buy. We still have to rest here for a period of time. We can’t just make do with this.”

MO Ruyue had rented the courtyard temporarily yesterday. Although it was fully furnished, she had not had the time to purchase some necessities. Since everyone was “reunited” today, she decided to buy them all at onceo

“I’m fine with anything. There’s no need to add anything else.” Deng Feng shook his head.

The current life was already something he did not even dare to think about before. He was afraid that if he had any unsatisfied thoughts, he would be punished by the heavens.

“It’s settled then. Listen to me?’

MO Ruyue would not listen to him, so she directly made the decision for him.

In the afternoon, the babies went shopping with the Liu couple and Deng Feng, while MO Ruyue and Gu Ying began to “stroll” around the city with another purpose.

Their footprints not only covered the streets and alleys of the city, but they even dabbled in places like gambling dens and brothels. It took them more than two hours to circle around.

“Gu Ying, what do you think of this sketch I drew?”

MO Ruyue picked up a piece of paper and carefully blew the ink on it. It was a topographic map of Chu City.

“If it’s just a sketch, it’s enough.”

Gu Ying walked over to examine it, then pointed at a certain spot on the paper.” This is it. I seem to have remembered the name of the building wrongly.”

“Where? How could I have remembered wrongly!’

MO Ruyue’s competitive spirit was aroused by his words. She turned her head to look at the spot Gu Ying was pointing at, but was pulled into his arms. “I remembered wrongly. There’s actually nothing there.”

Gu Ying hugged MO Ruyue from behind and whispered in her ear. The hot air blew onto her neck and ears, and soon, it turned pink.

MO Ruyue shrunk her neck in fear of the ticklish sensation and snuggled into Gu Ying’s arms. She hugged his arms and smiled sweetly.

“I knew you were playing tricks. I want to see what you’re up to.”

“Bing ‘Er, it’s rare for us to be so close these days.”

Gu Ying buried his head in her neck and shoulders like a spoiled golden retriever. There was a rare trace of grievance in his voice, but it made MO Ruyue’s smile deepen.

“Yes, after I bring Brother Feng along, I have to be careful. After all, I’m still a widow and we’re not married yet.”

MO Ruyue’s unintentional words seemed to have touched Gu Yings sore spot. He immediately grabbed her shoulders and turned her around.

“Bing ‘Er, are you blaming me for not proposing to you earlier? If you’re willing, I’ll…”

“I didn’t. I just said it unintentionally.”

The smile in MO Ruyue’s eyes froze. When she saw the urgency and self-reproach in Gu Ying’s eyes, her heart clenched. She hurriedly covered his lips with her hand and explained earnestly.

“Ying, you know that we’ve decided on each other. To me, finding you is the greatest fortune. In fact, even without any ritual, you’re the person I never want to let go of!”

“But I…”

Gu Ying stared into MO Ruyue’s eyes. He was anxious to get affirmation, but he was afraid of losing her. He was careful, which made MO Ruyue’s heart ache even more.

Her man had always been the calmest and most confident. When had he ever

had such a look of self-doubt on his face?

Was this the magic of love?

It could make a person no longer like him, worrying about gains and losses. No matter how proud a person was, they would fall from the clouds and become insignificant.

How could she bear to let her man suffer like this? She tiptoed and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her and pressing her forehead against his.

“Gu Ying, no one can separate us, not even you. Anyway, I’m going to stick to you and cling to you. You’re not allowed to doubt yourself and don’t care about any form of things.”

“Compared to the fact that you and I can be together, the form is not important.”

These words slowly soothed the uneasiness in Gu Ying’s heart.

He and Bing ‘Er had always ignored the eyes of the world and were not bound by secular etiquette. He did not expect that after rebirth, they would become restrained.

Perhaps it was because the number of people he cared about had increased, so he subconsciously took the other party’s views into consideration..
