Chapter 445: 445. The Secret of Xingluo Island

Elder Bai appeared before everyone again, sweeping away his previous depression and losing himself, and regaining his once aloof and deep look, which made Qiao Jing quite unaccustomed to it.

When Elder Bai woke up today, he had already been informed by Old Mu of the current situation, and what he cared about most was Su Liang, of course. Upon learning that Su Liang had given birth to a daughter safely, Elder Bai was even more eager to return to the capital city to see Su Liang and Gu Xiaonuan.

At that time, Elder Bai accompanied Ying Ying to Yin Country to save Ying Ye, and Su Liang was still pregnant. Now the world has lost Yin Country, Elder Bai has gone through hardships and woke up again, feeling as if he had gone through a lifetime.

“Does Elder Bai need another day to rest?” Lian Shun asked.

Elder Bai immediately shook his head, “No need. My body is not so weak, I want to return to the capital city today. Are you coming with me or not? If not, I will go alone.”

Lian Shun nodded, “Then let’s go together today.” He, Ying Ying and Ying Ye. Ying Ying also wanted to take Ying Ye to the capital city as soon as possible to see if Su Liang had a way to cure Ying Ye. He had been underwater and injured his brain, and his mind was still like a child even though he had grown up.

Qiao Jing looked at Old Mu, who sighed, “I really want to go back and hug Xiaonuan, but it’s impossible now! There is still something to do here, so I won’t go back this time. Let Elder Bai, Xiaolian, and Xiaoyuan go back first.”

As soon as Qiao Cong, who had been eager to return, saw Qiao Jing looking at him, he said irritably, “Isn’t it all for you? Otherwise, what am I doing here? Really!”

Qiao Jing: ...Yes, it is all his fault. Who let him not have the strong skills and wisdom of Gu Ling so that the elder always worried about him.

However, Qiao Cong speaks one way, but his actions are reliable. He always missed Qiao Jing, but if Gu Ling and Su Liang needed Qiao Jing to do anything, Qiao Cong did not stop him and never mentioned him going back to the capital city. Instead, he came here to protect his grandson.

Now it’s settled that Lian Shun, Ying Ying, Ying Ye, and Elder Bai will leave for the capital city in the afternoon.

“We will pack our bags now.” Lian Shun said and was about to hold Ying Ying’s hand but was immediately thrown off.

Ying Ying told Ying Ye that they were going back to their real home and meet the Sister Liang she had talked about before. Ying Ye was very happy, “I remember, Sister Su Liang, my lifesaver! And beautiful brother, sister said he will be my brother-in-law!”

Because his intelligence was flawed, he was not drugged but did not know any important matters.

Upon hearing Ying Ye’s words, Lian Shun felt a stab in his heart and put his face in front of Ying Ye, “Xiaoye, look who am I?”

“Brother-in-law!” Ying Ye said with a smile.

“You only have one brother-in-law, who is he?” Lian Shun asked again.

“It’s Brother Ersan!” Ying Ye hugged Lian Shun’s arm.

Lian Shun smiled and glanced at Ying Ying, then asked Ying Ye another question, “Who is Gu Ling?”

“He’s the beautiful brother my sister likes!” Ying Ye answered immediately.

Lian Shun: ...Of course, he knew that Gu Ling had known Ying Ying for a long time before he met Su Liang, and Ying Ying had indeed liked Gu Ling, just as Lian Shun had liked Su Liang... It had to be said that this was their special fate as husband and wife!

Of course, Lian Shun would not be angry. He knew that Ying Ye had not changed his view of Gu Ling just because he saw Ying Ying married to Lian Shun.

Ying Ying rubbed Ying Ye’s head, “Your Sister Su Liang is married to Brother Gu Ling.”

“Oh,” Ying Ye nodded obediently, “That’s great!”

Ying Ying packed Ying Ye’s luggage first, then returned to her own room, turning back to see Lian Shun had also come in.

“This is also my room.” Lian Shun said seriously, “I swear, the thing about getting married last night was really your idea, not me taking advantage of someone in need.”

Ying Ying frowned, “I know, they all said so. I believe they wouldn’t lie to me.”

“Would I lie to you?” Lian Shun was a little hurt.

Ying Ying shook her head, “You probably wouldn’t, but I think... ”

Lian Shun blinked, and Ying Ying rubbed her forehead, “I feel weird and not used to it.”

Lian Shun smiled, “That’s understandable. Let’s take our time, and I’ll pursue you again. Let’s make a bet that I’ll make you call me ‘Husband’ before we get to the capital city. Dare you?”

Ying Ying snorted lightly, “Why not? But let me tell you, don’t touch me, or I can’t guarantee I won’t cripple you. Sister Xiaoliang’s face won’t help you either.”

Lian Shun was imagining a three-step plan of holding hands, hugging, and kissing, but was stunned by Ying Ying’s words. However, he thought about it and figured it would be better to take a step by step approach since they were already close and he would make Ying Ying remember.

Lian Shun went out and let Ying Ying change clothes and pack her things first.

Ying Ying looked at the unfinished red candle on the table and paused, closing her eyes, but her memory of Lian Shun was still before her trip to Yin Country. She really couldn’t remember anything about getting married, even if it had happened last night.

However, as a woman, Ying Ying could feel the changes in her body, knowing that her wedding night with Lian Shun was real, and the forgotten memories were also her own heartfelt actions, with no one deceiving her or forcing her. She didn’t reject Lian Shun, but as she said, it felt strange, and she needed some time to get used to it.

Opening the wardrobe, she saw their clothes put together and let out a small sigh, organizing her own clothes.

Actually, they had just decided to get married yesterday, and it was too rushed. The two of them didn’t originally have their clothes together. But Lian Shun had deliberately moved his clothes when Ying Ying was unconscious due to the antidote. It was normal; they just didn’t have time for it last night.

Ying Ying tidied up and called Lian Shun to come in, not leaving the room herself.

Now it was Lian Shun’s turn to feel uncomfortable. As he was organizing his clothes, he knew that Ying Ying was watching him, examining him, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous: would she suddenly find him unpleasing to the eye?

After a while, Lian Shun coughed lightly, “Well, I need to change my clothes. Do you want to turn away?”

Ying Ying shook her head, “If you don’t mind, I won’t turn away.”

Lian Shun was stunned for a moment, what was going on? Was Ying Ying trying to see if he had a good figure? The development of things had indeed become very strange...

However, as a man, Lian Shun couldn’t back down from this kind of thing. If Ying Ying wanted to look, he was of course happy to let her. He was quite confident in his own figure.

But undressing in front of Ying Ying was still very embarrassing, so he turned his back to her to change clothes.

“Didn’t you say you’d bet that before arriving in the capital city, I would call you ‘my husband’? You lost.” Ying Ying said.

Lian Shun: ...There were too many depressing things, and he had even forgotten about the bet.

“Ying Xiaoying, you must give me face, or else Gu Xiaoling would laugh at me for the rest of my life. This is my lifelong event.” As Lian Shun dragged Ying Ying into the Su Mansion by the corner of her clothes.

Ying Ying looked back, saw Lian Shun’s tired, thin, and pitiful face. She reached out, pinched it, and laughed gently, “We’ll see how I feel then.”

At dusk, everyone in Su Mansion was having dinner.

Zhengzheng was feeding Gu Xiaonuan soup, Ji Xiaoshu was fighting with Gu Ling for a chicken leg, Weng Ran and Nangong Qian were discussing going to find Lian Shan to play tomorrow, while Cen Man and Su Liang were focusing on eating. Because the sour radish and duck soup made by Gu Ling today was really delicious.

“Xiaoliang!”

Suddenly hearing Elder Bai’s voice, Su Liang, who was gnawing on a duck leg, looked up with joy, “Master is back!”

When Elder Bai appeared at the door, Su Liang heard Lian Shun’s voice as well, “Gu Xiaoling!”

“Uncle Ersan!” Zhengzheng’s eyes lit up.

Ji Xiaoshu scratched his head, “I don’t know him.”

Lao Bai rushed to Gu Xiaonuan in three steps and looked at her excitedly, his eyes reddening. In an instant, his voice became gentle, “Nuannuan, I’m your master!”

Gu Xiaonuan had many masters and was familiar with this title, so she happily called out, “Master!”

Lao Bai held Gu Xiaonuan in his arms, and the memories he had regained and the longing of these days made him shed tears, “Such a good girl...”

Su Liang had expected this and was not surprised. She got up and went over, hugging Ying Ying, “Sister Ying, it’s so good to see you safe.”

Indeed, as Lian Shun said, Su Liang had many female friends, most of them older than her, but Ying Ying was her one and only sister.

Ying Ying’s smile was as dazzling as ever, “You said you’d wait for me at home, so of course, I came back.”

Su Liang let go of Ying Ying and went straight to Gu Xiaonuan, “So cute! How can she be so much like Gu Ling?”

Su Liang looked at Ying Ye, whose eyes sparkled brightly. In one big stride, he hugged Su Liang and said happily, “Sister Su Liang! I’ve missed you so much!”

Su Liang couldn’t help but laugh. They were meeting for the first time, perhaps because Ying Ying talked too much about her.

Gu Ling came over, separated Ying Ye and Su Liang, then hugged Ying Ye himself, patting his back, “Do you still remember me?”

“I remember! It’s the handsome brother!” Ying Ye hugged Gu Ling even more happily. They had met before.

Only Lian Shun was standing at the door, ignored by everyone...

Zhengzheng ran over and grabbed Lian Shun’s hand, “Uncle Ersan, why aren’t you coming in? I miss you so much.”

Lian Shun was instantly healed, “Zhengzheng is the only one who treats me well.”

Ying Ying couldn’t take Gu Xiaonuan away from Lao Bai, so they all sat down after getting another bowl and chopsticks. Lian Shun cleared his throat, “I have big news to announce, Ying Ying, and I have already married in Jiaye City.”

As soon as he finished, Lian Shun looked at Gu Ling’s reaction. However, Gu Ling had no reaction. He just ladled soup for Ying Ye.

“Really? Congratulations! Congratulations!” Su Liang was very happy.

“Gu Xiaoling, we’re brothers, and you don’t even congratulate me?” Lian Shun teased Gu Ling.

Gu Ling looked at Ying Ying, “Do you remember getting married?”

Ying Ying shook her head, “I don’t remember. He told me all about it.”

Lian Shun felt a bit awkward for a moment, but then Ying Ying said something shocking, “But he’s mine now. I’ll take responsibility for him.”

Weng Ran and Nangong Qian were both stunned.

Zhengzheng gave a thumbs up, “Aunt Ying is so awesome!”

Ji Xiaoshu snickered, “Congratulations, Uncle Ersan!”

“Awesome! Ersan!” Gu Xiaonuan learned two new words.

Lian Shun: ... Nuannuan, sweetheart you really know how to summarize!

But in fact, Lian Shun was overjoyed in his heart. Wasn’t that a good show of face? Look how domineering his wife was!

Gu Ling raised a glass to Lian Shun, “Congratulations on getting married.”

Lian Shun hummed, barely hiding his pride, “Not as amazing as your wedding.”

Zhengzheng’s little face was confused, “Can men also marry people?”

Ji Xiaoshu nodded, “Of course. With aunt Ying and master’s wife being so handsome, I always thought that master got married by using his charm!”

After enjoying a happy meal, the kids and Ying Ye went upstairs to play, and it was time for serious matters.

“I went to the forbidden area of Xingluo Island and almost died there.” Ying Ying’s gaze was solemn, “There was a cave with a deep pool inside it. Mo Yan made people jump into it and dive down without coming up until the time was up. That time, I saw a man drown with my own eyes, and his body floated up. Yue Mei forced Ying Ye and me to practice swimming since we were children, which was related to this. That’s why Ying Ye had a brain injury and how I survived from the forbidden area of Xingluo Island. But I was going to be arranged to go there a second time, but Mo Yan was out, so I didn’t go. When he came back, you saved me before he could arrange it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be sure if I could still come out alive if I went a second time.”

Upon hearing this, Lian Shun clasped Ying Ying’s hand but wasn’t rejected this time.

Su Liang and Gu Ling exchanged glances. Ying Ying didn’t know what Mo Yan wanted, but they knew. That deep pool was probably Mo Yan’s way back, but he didn’t want to take the risk. So he kept forcing people to jump in, hoping for a miracle to happen...
