The pace of life picked up again as Yun Qiao went to school.
As time goes by, Yun Qiao's past life memories become fainter.
She is still her.
No one around her felt her changes, and even she felt that the past had nothing to do with her.
If it weren't for Xi Lanting's occasional pain attack, Yun Qiao would have thought that the past was just an illusion.
"...Do you want to go to Kongque River to recuperate for a while?" Yun Qiao asked him, "Is it a desert over there now?"
"Um."
Which question is he answering?
Xi Lanting added: "It's a desert."
"and you……"
"I can still hold on for a few more years, there is no need to recuperate now." Xi Lanting said.
Yun Qiao stopped trying to persuade him.
At dinner on Wednesday, he said he would go out to Shanghai to discuss some business and would come back as soon as possible on Sunday night.
Yun Qiao was dumbfounded after hearing this: "Are you still doing business? You have lived for so long and you haven't saved any money?"
"Doing business is not about making money, but about accumulating connections." Xi Lanting said, "In this world, if you want to live an easy life, money is not enough. You must also have connections and power."
When he does business with others, he actually helps others make money.
Everyone fought hard to cooperate with him.
Of course, this is not his main concern. After all, his savings are indeed unimaginably rich.
Otherwise, Cheng Li's reputation as the "Universal God of Wealth" would not be his.
Cheng Li has a unique vision in doing business and only wins, not loses.
Yun Qiao has been in such chaos these days that she almost forgot about the strangeness of her wedding schedule.
She had a guess and wanted to ask Xi Lanting, but she didn't know where to start.
"...I'm actually a little surprised that you are now confined to a small world like the Xi family. You used to be the backbone of the royal family." Yun Qiao said.
Xi Lanting: "The Xi family is the royal family of this world."
There are good and bad things in the world.
The world has been irreparably bad these past few years. Xi Lanting is the darling of Tiandao, but not the ancestor of Tiandao. There is nothing he can do to change the fate of the country.
Whether it's cloudy, sunny, rainy or snowy, it's God's will.
It is difficult to manage a large territory, and the concept of "imperial court" is no longer sustainable, so the Xi family will occupy a large territory, the economy will remain stable, and the situation will be stable.
Changes have been too rapid in these years, and the offerings Xi Lanting received have decreased significantly - the introduction of foreign churches has taken away some of the offerings that belong to him.
He originally thought that he would be able to move freely for a long time, but his energy was consumed too quickly.
Now that he has Yun Qiao, he is even more reluctant to go back and lie down, slowly absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and recuperate for hundreds of years.
"...Do you want to go with me?" he asked.
Yun Qiao: "I still have to go to school."
Her first thought was that she was reluctant to let him go. However, if she was too attached to him and lost herself, and it was impossible for him to love her, Yun Qiao would become paranoid and depressed.
Xi Lanting said that she doesn't know how to exercise restraint, which is a very objective evaluation.
She has to restrain herself now.
No matter how deep her feelings are, she can't just focus on this aspect. She also has friends and studies.
"I'll bring you a gift when I come back," he said.
Yun Qiao nodded: "Okay."
"You must be back on Sunday, right?" she asked.
Xi Lanting: "Try your best and watch the opponent's progress."
Yun Qiao took the initiative to help him pack the boxes. However, she was not good at it and made a mess, so Xi Rong had to pack it again.
At breakfast the next day, Yun Qiao asked him: "Did you bring thick clothes? It's still very cold now."
"Bring it."
"Try to come back on Sunday, right?" she asked again.
Xi Lanting: "Yeah."
She took him to the train station and drove him herself, followed by a car with others.
When she arrived at the platform, she stood in front of the fence gate and talked to him. As she spoke, she asked him again, "Will you be back on Sunday?"
Xi Lanting held her waist, ignoring the people coming and going around him, and gently pecked her lips.
"I will definitely come back on Sunday." He said, "Don't worry, I won't run away."
