Chapter 2051: Chapter 2049: No Matter What, He Is Still Our Child

The woman regretfully let out a long breath, put on her scarf, and headed towards the street corner where her husband stood smiling and waving energetically at her.

She couldn’t help but smile, and quickly walked towards the exit.

Meanwhile, the train continued moving forward, and Gu Qiaoqiao soon forgot about this little episode. The four of them seemed to have created their own world in the sleeper car.

There were food and drinks, and the children’s laughter was delightful, allowing words to pour forth effortlessly—what a happy family.

...

Time passed quickly, Fang Liang and Tian Dan held their wedding, which was very lively. Although the couple hadn’t intended it to be so, seeing their relatives and friends sincerely offering blessings, they let go of their awkwardness. Besides, they really were quite young, with their actual ages being quite below what was expected.

At the wedding, the groom was elegant and handsome, and the bride was beautiful and gentle—a perfect match that everyone wished well.

After the wedding, Gu Qiaoqiao swiftly managed Yubao Square’s end-of-year affairs and hosted the annual meeting. Following the lively events, she went traveling in Jinling City with Qin Yize, Xiao Bao, and Xiao Bei.

During this time, they met many members of the Gu Family.

Thus, the lovely Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei naturally became the favorites of the group.

Even in the cold winter season, it didn’t stop Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei from loving the city and their relatives and friends. Yes, what child doesn’t enjoy being cherished, especially when meeting new people with freshness?

Nowadays, Xiao Bao, due to the suppression and sealing of the Spiritual Pearl, rarely sees the other world. However, occasionally he still sees it, so when together with his peers or even those five or six years older, he naturally becomes the center, sharing many peculiar and vivid stories, like he had seen them himself. Thus, Xiao Bao confidently accepted the admiration of the children.

Actually, Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize weren’t aware of this until they happened to pass by the living room.

Those were the children of a few relatives from the Gu Family—two older than Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei by three years, and three older by five years. Yet despite the age gap, the children played together, and that’s when Xiao Bao shared his story.

It was about a man made of clouds with wings, who flew into the Dark Forest and used a radiant sword to slay the demon that had taken his family.

Xiao Bao spoke articulately and vividly, but in the ears of Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao, it wasn’t quite the same. The couple exchanged a glance and silently tiptoed past the living room door.

Inside the living room, several children sat on the fluffy carpet, listening intently, and no one noticed the two passing adults.

This was the house in Jinling City owned by the Gu Family, the large courtyard Grandpa Gu bought years ago.

Last year, it was renovated, preserving its classical charm while adding modern elements, achieving a perfect blend that felt refreshing.

This time, Qin Yize and the others stayed here during their visit to Jinling City.

However, the Qin Group also has a branch here with its residential apartments, but the couple preferred staying here—close to the Gu Family and because Jinling City has rapidly developed, the area is now part of the city, and these courtyards, being old houses, were invested in for unified exterior renovations, preserving the street’s character as a kind of protective development. Originally, Gu Zhixing intended to move out, but Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu disagreed.

Luckily, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu disagreed; otherwise, they would have regretted it. Yubao Square’s business in Jinling City remained stable, and Gu Zhixing attended Fang Liang’s wedding, which despite their brief nod, was meaningful to Gu Zhixing.

His ability to reach such status in life was something he cherished deeply.

As the saying goes, poverty makes marriage bitter, and this was not without reason—Gu Family was at the bottom; hence, life was filled with gloom, with troubles multiplying amidst the gloom, sometimes feeling practically unlivable.

As conditions improved, people’s mindset, spirit, and vigor changed, confidence grew, and conflicts decreased, though perhaps other interest disputes might arise, but regardless, as long as maintaining one’s nature, life would keep getting better.

Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize were packing their luggage, preparing to return to the Imperial Capital the next day.

As they packed, they chatted about Xiao Bao.

Even with the Spiritual Pearl, some of Xiao Bao’s abilities remained.

Qin Yize glanced at his worried wife and spoke gently, "Don’t worry, didn’t Little Uncle say as he grows, abilities will improve? As long as we guide him correctly, there will be no problem."

Gu Qiaoqiao nodded and sighed, "I really wonder what this child will be like when he grows up."

"Whatever he becomes, he’s still our child."

Qin Yize neatly folded the clothes and placed them in the suitcase, then leisurely said.

His attitude eased Gu Qiaoqiao’s tension, and she realized she was worrying unnecessarily.

As Xiao Bao’s abilities grow, hers will too. It’s unlikely to become unmanageable, and nature always has its reason. Letting it be, as Ah Ze said, no matter what Xiao Bao will always be their son, independent of his abilities, a fact never changing.

At this moment, it was late morning, and meanwhile at the Imperial Capital, Qi Fangxiu finally obtained Qin Xiaoyu’s phone number. He had put great effort, navigating countless twists, just to make this call, for his initial apology was understood by the Qin Family, yet he had no reason for a second visit.

Thus, he was very anxious, having visited the beef noodle shop where he currently worked and revealed his true identity to classmates.

Initially, everyone was shocked, but after hearing the details, they found Qi Fangxiu rather unfortunate.

However, he didn’t disclose Xiao Yu’s identity to his classmates.

That was Xiao Yu’s business; if she wanted to talk, she’d do it herself, not through him. Luckily, these classmates weren’t overly sensitive or overly dramatic.
