After the funeral, the entire Shen Family Manor fell into gloom for a long time. No one ever thought that the old lady hated this new Madame so much before she died, but left this manor, worth tens of millions, to her. Those old servants who had worked in the manor for many years and who had been unkind to her at the old lady’s command felt themselves endangered, took their pay from the housekeeper and vanished. Song Chaoyang, the guardian who had hurt Bai Qingqing, was even more guilty. Even though the new Madame didn’t say anything, he was still anxious day by day.

But he couldn’t help it. Although he had a good skill, half of his face was burned in an accident. If he left this manor, he had nowhere to go. It took a long time for Bai Qingqing to accept the fact that such a valuable manor belonged to her. Grandpa and grandma’s last wish was that they could return to the manor and lived together as a family. So she moved back, and it would be gratifying if they could see that in another world.

For the arrangement of the manor servants and security personnel, Huo Yunchen gave her the right to decide, just asking Liu Yun to assist. Liu Yun also wore a ten-thousand-year-iceberg face, very indifferent. Although she was with Bai Qingqing, she had never spoken a word so far. She supported whatever decision Bai Qingqing made. Bai Qingqing was kind-hearted. When the old servants left, she gave them ten times wages for retirement.

As for Song Chaoyang, she did not severely criticize him, but instead entrusted him with important tasks. This made Song Chaoyang grateful and loyal to her. Everything in the manor was as good as before, from a gloomy downturn to a vibrant and warm picture. Huo Yunchen could always smell the scent of food when he went back home after a busy day at work. The wife smiled happily. And Tiantian flew into his arms like a bird. All these seemed to make his exhaustion disappear at that moment.

“Husband, I’m doing well, you can praise me.” In the evening, putting her arms round his shoulders and watching the stars on the garden bench, she begged him to praise her. Huo Yunchen was satisfied, no matter what she did, he was happy only when she was happy. He didn’t care what the result was, and he just wanted her to enjoy the process. “Well, it’s done well, it’s like the hostess of the Huo family.” He kissed her lips gently, his words being soft and full of approval. Being praised by her husband was the happiest and most satisfying thing in the world.

Bai Qingqing sat beside him, resting her head on his thigh. Looking up at the starry sky, she muttered to herself: “Husband, which god in the sky is blessing me to let me find such a good husband?” Huo Yunchen gently stroked her hair. With a light smile, he said warmly: “It should be Yue Lao (the Father in the moonlight), isn’t he in charge of pulling the red line?” Bai Qingqing stared at his face seriously, and suddenly realized: “Yes, why didn’t I think of that?”

Huo Yunchen smiled jokingly and said: “You should reward me?” “OK, I will reward you. I will go to Baiyun Temple tomorrow to offer incense to Yue Lao.” Bai Qingqing raised her hand and touched his handsome chin, saying with excitement. “By the way, I’ll ask Goddess of Mercy to send me a daughter.” “Okay, I’ll go with you.” “Really, you can go with me. So you can’t back out.” Bai Qingqing immediately stretched out her finger to draw hook, and Huo Yunchen readily accepted.

There had been too many things during this period of time: the company’s affairs, grandparents’ affairs, and the constantly disturbing illegitimate child surnamed Gu. He really had to deal with all kinds of things every day. Going out early and returning late, but fortunately, she was by his side every night, not making troubles, not complaining, gentle and considerate. He was willing to shoulder all these troubles for her and for their children.

Not far away, Liu Kai and Liu Yun stood together. They sat with their backs to the moonlight, silent. They were both orphans. They were adopted and trained by the Huo family since they were young, and they certainly needed to repay the Huo family when they grew up. They grew up with Huo Yunchen, trained together, suffered, sweated, and bled together. For them, Huo Yunchen was both an employer and a relative. Huo Yunchen was cold-tempered since childhood, so the two of them were also cold-tempered and didn’t like to talk.

Since Liu Kai came to Kyoto with Huo Yunchen, meeting that Liu Runan, his personality has changed a lot and sometimes he was willing to talk more. “Liu Yun, have you seen it? Young master is very happy now. After so many years, there should be a woman to accompany him, so that the young master can find some time to rest and enjoy life.” Liu Kai said while playing with grass. Liu Yun was also playing with grass, but she didn’t say a word. Liu Kai knew what she was thinking about. There was a person hidden in her heart, and that person was the young master. But she knew that her identity couldn’t offer her any opportunity of being together with the young master, so she never had inordinate ambitions, and could only secretly suffer herself.

“Liu Yun, there are people and things we should let go. Don’t let them be on your mind, and it will be uncomfortable.” Seeing her feel uncomfortable, he also felt uncomfortable. After all, they grew up together like siblings. “Let them down? Why let them go? If you let them go, your heart will be empty. There’s no point in living.” Liu Yun turned her head and looked at him, with a light smile on her lips. “Liu Yun, in fact, you have very good conditions. You can find a–” “Liu Kai, I am not you, I can’t do it.” After finishing speaking, she got up and left, leaving her lonely back in the moonlight.

Liu Kai shook his head helplessly, picked up a stone and threw it away. It rained suddenly, and the big raindrops dropped on them. Liu Kai hurriedly went to get the umbrella. By this time Liu Yun had already come out with an umbrella and held the umbrella above the young master and Bai. “Liu Yun, you are really fast.” Bai Qingqing never concealed her praise to Liu Yun, although she usually only got a cold smile. Huo Yunchen looked at Liu Yun with some approval in his eyes, and said in a cool tone: “Take good care of my wife.” Liu Yun nodded. The huge umbrella was lifted above them, but the rain fell on her head.

“Husband, let’s go back, Liu Yun is getting wet.” “Okay–” Huo Yunchen led Bai Qingqing to walk very slowly, but the road was slippery, and Bai Qingqing nearly fell over several times. Finally he squatted down and said: “Come up, I will carry you.” “No, I can–” “Come up quickly, or you’ll catch a cold in the rain.”

Bai Qingqing blushed. Although they were husband and wife, she would still be embarrassed in front of outsiders. “Hurry up–or I ask Liu Kai to carry you on his back.” “No, no.” Bai Qingqing climbed up immediately, putting her arms around his neck and leaning her head on his shoulder, looking like a little bird. She felt herself becoming more and more childish like Tiantian in front of him. Was it true that all women who were loved would be like this, or was she the only one who had become so little acquainted with herself?
