You're nothing but a thing!

  She was so scared that she hid under the quilt and didn't dare to come out. What else could he do? "It's okay, you sleep a little longer, I'll go take a cold shower."

  Taking a cold shower on a freezing winter day is really inhumane, but in order to suppress the inner fire, this is the only way.

  He felt him get out of bed, and Ye Shanshan felt a bit uneasy, "That... if you're uncomfortable..."

  "It's alright, go to sleep." Gu Bei Chen casually grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist, turned sideways and kissed her, "You'll be with me for the rest of your life, can't exhaust you."

  "Sorry." Ye Shanshan lowered her head, not daring to look at him, and apologized in a low hum. Her small face was red and hot, feeling both guilty and embarrassed.

  "Fool, what's there to apologize for?" Gu Bei Chen smiled and patted her head, although it was painful, his mood couldn't be better.

  Encountering such an embarrassing accident, Ye Shanshan didn't have the heart to continue sleeping. Watching her husband enter the bathroom, she also got out of bed.

  Early in the morning, she drew out his anger but couldn't help him put out the fire. She still felt guilty and could only do something else to make up for it.

  Grandma said he likes to eat dumplings, and there just so happens to be cabbage and pork in the fridge. Adding some dried mushrooms should also make for a decent filling. Anyway, since we have plenty of time, let's go ahead and make him a batch of handmade dumplings.

  Gu Bei Chen quickly took a cold shower, and his scorching body soon cooled down. After washing up, he also tidied up the clothes he had changed out of last night, hand-washing those that needed it and throwing the rest into the washing machine.

  When he picked up his clothes and walked out of the bathroom, the big bed in the room was empty, and the bedding was also neatly arranged. It seemed that she should have gotten up already.

  She has already had two close encounters with him at a negative distance, but she still feels uneasy.

  Gu Beichen was unclear about what had happened and could only sigh helplessly as he picked up the laundry basket and left the room.

  Another bathroom is at the corner of the corridor, turn left out of the master bedroom and it's there, some distance from the kitchen, so Gu Bei Chen has no way of knowing what his family member Xuan Xuan is doing now.

  It wasn't until he finished hand-washing his wife's lingerie and was about to hang it out to dry on the small balcony that the truth finally came to light.

  One hand held a clothes hanger with two undergarments hanging from it, the other hand was covered in white flour, they looked at each other and burst out laughing.

  It was Ye Shanshan who first spoke up in discontent: "Didn't I tell you not to help me wash my underwear again?"

  "I don't remember agreeing to that." Gu Bei Chen smiled calmly, took the clothes out to dry, and strolled into the kitchen, "What do you plan on doing?" All he saw was a ball of dough, and he had no idea what she planned on making as the main course.

  "I want to make dumplings for you, with a filling of cabbage and pork, and add some mushrooms, is that okay?" The ingredients at home are limited, Ye Shanshan worries that her husband won't like it.

  "Is making handmade dumplings for breakfast a bit too much trouble?" Xixi wasn't around, and she had originally wanted to let her rest for a while longer. But instead of obediently lying down to rest, she actually wanted to make such a troublesome breakfast for him.

  "Mom said you like it, and you're leaving tonight, so I thought I'd personally..."

  He's really addicted to surprise attacks or what? He'd suddenly pounce on her and give her a quick peck on the cheek, which would still startle her. Not to mention, she had flour on her hands and had to be careful not to get his clothes dirty, and the pose was quite awkward.

  "Fool, we still have a long half of our lives to spend together, even if we want to do it, there's no need to rush for the time being." Although it was a scolding tone, Gu Bei Chen's face was filled with heartache.

  "It doesn't matter, anyway it's still early now, I don't plan to do much, I'll definitely make it." After being kissed, Ye Shanshan always habitually wiped her nose with her hand, but forgot that her hands were covered in flour at this moment. With a wipe, her nose was also covered with a layer of white powder, and her cute appearance was beyond mention.

  "Every time it's like this, after being kissed, she wipes her nose and doesn't even check if her hands are clean." Looking at her cute and lovely childlike appearance, Gu Bei Chen truly felt that he had gotten a great bargain by marrying her. Moreover, after spending more time with her, he also felt that he had become much younger.

  "What's the big deal, just go wash your face later. Don't bother me here, hurry up and pack the things you need to bring back to the troops." Ye Shanshan was startled by his sudden attack and elbowed him, gesturing for him to leave quickly and not disturb her from doing important things.

  "There's nothing good to pack, it doesn't matter whether we bring those things or not. As for the things I want to bring... there's no way to pack them up." Gu Bei Chen only took a few steps back, but didn't leave obediently. With less than twelve hours until departure time, she still had to go to school in eight hours and wouldn't be able to see him for at least that long. The time they had left together was less than four hours, so he wasn't about to waste it all on packing luggage.

  "I didn't bring a big box with me the last time I moved, and there's still room for more stuff." Classmate Ye Shanshan started to be intermittently dull again, completely unaware of what her husband wanted to take away.

  "Silly!" Gu Bei Chen burst out laughing at her absurd thinking, "No matter how big the box is, it can't hold all the things I want to take away, and... even if it could, it wouldn't pass security checks."

  "What is it?" Ye Shanshan became interested, but still didn't react.

  "Ah, you." Gu Bei Chen smiled and walked forward, gently pinching her upturned nose, and helped her wipe off the flour that had stuck to it.

  "You... you think I'm a thing?"

  "Oh, you're not a thing?"

  "You're nothing!"

  "What you said is right, I am human, not a thing!"

  "Haha, you're not a thing, husband!" Someone who's still childish is actually enjoying themselves.

  Gu Bei Chen's mind was filled with black lines, and he really didn't know how to respond to this sentence. After a long time, he sighed faintly, "After making up, there's still something to be sent, right? It's almost seven o'clock, don't make me eat the dead bread dumplings."

  "It's all your fault, always causing trouble on the side and almost delaying important things." Upon hearing her husband's reminder, Ye Shanshan also felt a sense of urgency and stopped joking around, seriously facing the issue at hand.

  Because the dough was not enough, the time to wake up was not long. The filling was mixed well and the dough was almost done. Fifteen minutes later, the hand-made dumplings were cooked in a pot. Taking advantage of the interval when the dumplings were being stirred in the pot, Gu Bei Chen came over again, licking his face, "My wife is really capable, she can do everything."

  "In order to match up with the leader, there's no choice but to learn everything and do it perfectly." Ye Shanshan was happy to accompany him in his nonsense, so she turned around and hung herself entirely on his neck.

  Gu Bei Chen hated hearing her call him that, his face immediately turned black. "What I said to you was all in vain?"

  "Manager talks all day long, how am I supposed to know which sentence you want me to say?" Ye Shanshan pretended to be silly on purpose, determined to make him so angry that smoke would come out of his seven orifices.

  Little thing, storing heart to find fault is not, he has already turned black face, she actually even more severe.

  One careless moment and Ye Shanshan had encountered an ambush, and this time it wasn't something that could be resolved in just two or three seconds.

  After a burst of boiling, the dumplings in the pot were completely disintegrated and had lost their shape!

  "It's all your fault! The dumplings are all ruined!" The beautiful dumplings had lost their shape, and Ye Shanshan was so angry she wanted to overturn the pot.

  "It's okay, it looks quite delicious." Gu Bei Chen didn't mind at all. The appearance of the dumplings wasn't important; what mattered was the taste and her intentions.

  "Then you finish them all, I'll go toast two slices of bread." The leader made a mistake and should be punished together with the common people! Who let him suddenly pounce on her and kiss her endlessly, he must be severely punished!

  Two bowls of dumplings added up to more than thirty, all of which were bursting with flavor. Gu Bei Chen, however, remained expressionless as he devoured them all in fifteen minutes, not even leaving a drop of broth behind. Finally, he licked his lips, savoring the aftertaste, "The filling was really delicious, unfortunately, you didn't get to eat a single one."

  "Uh... he's so hungry, this much food, and it's all gone in less than 15 minutes, without even a belch!"

  Ye Shanshan finally deeply realized that the leader was indeed non-human and needed to be punished with abnormal means. For example, like this morning, his fire was lit up, but not satisfied...

  Cough, cough, after the evil thought emerged in her mind, Ye Shanshan unconsciously blushed. Wuuu, indeed as Ziyan said, since she dedicated herself to him, her thoughts have become more and more impure.

  Gu Beichen put away the bowls and chopsticks, came back to see his little wife staring blankly with a red glow on her face, couldn't help but be curious, "What are you thinking about, your face is all red?"

  "Cough... nothing. It's about time to go, I'll just pack up." Ye Shanshan coughed nervously and quickly ran back to the room to grab her bag.

  She didn't say, but Gu Bei Chen could guess that the restricted scenes must be what made her blush just thinking about them. Heh, his little wife had finally grown up, and even when she was bored, she would think about those things.

  Today, there's no need to send Xiaoxiao, and the departure time is slightly later than usual. Ye Shanshan rarely arrives at the school gate at the same time as Ziyuan.

  Although her husband was present, Ning still didn't change her straightforward and outspoken nature, loudly exclaiming, "I thought you would take the day off to stay home with him today."

  "Stay with you, big-headed ghost!" Ye Shanshan gave her a slap on the head, "Students should focus on their studies, how can they take leave so casually?"

  "How can you say it's casual? For a married woman, what's more important than accompanying her husband?" Although she was hit, Ning Xiaojie didn't show any intention of restraining herself.

  Sometimes, Ye Shanshan really felt that she must have owed Ning Xiaojie in her previous life. This girl always had the ability to make her so angry that she was fuming with rage. "Ning Ziyuan, do you dare to speak even louder!"

  "Hmm... I don't dare." What a joke, speak louder and you'll scare me with something like 'breaking up' again, I'm not that stupid. "The first class is Professor Zheng's lesson, can't be late, let's hurry up and go."

  Poor Ye Shanshan was dragged away by Ning Ziyu like that, without even having time to say goodbye to her husband.

  Watching his own sister's frantic and crazy appearance, Ning Zihanshen was also quite annoyed. "Don't mind, my sister is used to being frantic and crazy, no malice intended."

  "Don't say that, having a friend like you who is so carefree and innocent is also a blessing. " Gu Bei Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with Ning Jia's eccentric behavior, her straightforward and uninhibited nature was much better than those who always hid their emotions behind a mask. With such a simple and pure personality, Su Su would definitely not get along with those cunning girls.

  Ning Zihao also expressed agreement, "Indeed."

  "I'm returning to my unit tonight, so if anything comes up in the future, I'll have to trouble Mr. Ning and his sister to take care of it." After their last heartfelt conversation, Gu Bei Chen had already considered the Ning siblings as his own people, which is why he could make such a sincere request to Young Master Ning.

  Ning Zi Han burst out laughing, "You're too polite, we're all friends, it's only natural to take care of each other."

  Gu Beichen politely extended his hand and smiled as he shook hands with his former love rival, "Thank you."

  Heroes appreciate each other's heroism, and a smile can wash away past grievances.

  After dragging Shanshan into the school gate, Ning's gossip bug crawled out again. "Today is so sunny, yet she still wears a scarf, last night's battle must have been more intense than the night before!"

  This kid is really fearless, having been threatened several times and still doesn't learn a lesson!

  "Shut up!" Ye Shanshan was so angry that she wished to pinch this reckless little demoness to death, "Don't talk to me for the rest of today!"

  Miss Ning was not threatened at all, and she glared at her with a bad temper, "What's the big deal about sharing with me? I won't go around telling everyone."

  Ye Shanshan was at a loss for words and could only keep her mouth shut like a mute.

  "Alright, alright, can't I just not ask? Ning Ziyan was most afraid of Shanshan not speaking, and could only recall the gossip bug. "Let me tell you something serious, I have an uncle in France, you know?"

  Ning Da Xiaojie rarely looked so serious, and Ye Shanshan quickly forgot what she had just said. "Really? How about you, do you want to study in France?"

  "You're not going, what's the point of me going?! I wanted to tell you that my cousin's daughter is getting married at the end of January, which coincides with our winter break. I was thinking of inviting you to France with me, I'll attend the wedding and you can visit your aunt, after we're done we can still have fun together, how great is that!" Ning really thinks highly of Shanshan, whenever there's an important trip planned, she always thinks of her.

  "I'm afraid I won't be able to go." Ye Shanshan also knew that Ziyan didn't have many friends, and inviting her was also because she wanted someone to accompany her, but the timing really wasn't suitable.

  "Why don't you plan ahead, if your husband can't come back, you go to France with Auntie for the New Year's, he won't say anything about it. I think Auntie must be really looking forward to you going." Ning Ziyu was still quite looking forward to this trip to France, before they always went as a family, wherever they went there were people following them, not free at all, and didn't have much fun. If she could go with Shanshan it would be different, her brother trusted Shanshan the most, with her by his side he would definitely give her complete freedom, want to go where just go where, how great.

  Unfortunately, Ye Shanshan was destined to disappoint her this time. "To be honest with you, my mom went to the Gu's house last night and we've already discussed this matter. If my husband can't get leave, I'll take Xiaoxiao to the army to spend the New Year with him."

  "Are you going to visit your family in the army?" Ning Da Xiaojie's voice rose to its highest decibel again, and passing classmates were attracted by her loud voice, looking at Ye Shanshan with all sorts of strange eyes.

  "Is there a problem? I also went to the army with my mom to see my dad when I was young." Ye Shanshan reacted quickly and covered up the matter with her childhood experience.

  The classmates who were eager for excitement dispersed one by one. Ning Ziyu was still excited, "Isn't the army fun?"

  "For me, wherever he is, that's heaven." Ye Shanshan was no longer a child, she didn't care about having fun or not, what she cared about was where he was.

  Ning Zi's words were suddenly and unexpectedly filled with artistic flair, which startled him for a moment before he slowly opened his mouth, "Hmmm, women in love are indeed different, the things they say are really cheesy. I'm really envious of you, finding your other half at such a young age, and it's someone as perfect as this exceptional good man."

  "Oh, don't you think he's not good enough for me now?" Ziyan's serious tone was rare, and Yeshanshan felt a bit unaccustomed to it.

  "I dare not think about it anymore, you and your husband are simply a match made in heaven." Unfortunately, Ning's seriousness only lasted for less than ten seconds before she revealed her true nature.

  "I never thought I'd find my perfect match, but... we really do suit each other." True love is about meeting the right person at the right time, and now Ye Shanshan has truly grasped the meaning of this phrase.

  Ning Zi said in complete agreement, "Yes, my mother always says that choosing a man is like choosing shoes. If they don't fit comfortably, no matter how stylish or beautiful they are, they're useless."

  "One day you will find the shoes that belong to you, maybe he has already appeared and is waiting for you to find him." Ye Shanshan naturally thought of the time when she and Ziyan used tarot cards to tell fortunes at the beginning of school. At that time, the fortune teller said that their true soulmates would appear this year. At that time, she didn't believe it at all. Now thinking about it, there is some truth to it. If the prophecy really comes true, Ziyan's other half should appear soon. It's already December, and according to the Gregorian calendar, there isn't much time left in the year.

  "I hope so." In fact, Ziyan didn't have much fantasy about love affairs, but after witnessing Shanshan's sweet love, she also started to feel romantic. She really wanted to experience the feeling that having him by her side was like being in heaven.

  "Alright, you decide for yourself about going to France during the winter break. If you have a chance, you can also visit my mom. And oh, I plan to take Xiaoxiao to France next summer, if you're free, you can come with us." Ziyan often travels abroad and has a broad perspective, speaks good English, and also has a foundation in French, so Yeshanshan thinks that having her as company will make the trip more enjoyable.

  "Alright, alright, I'm always free, just let me know when you've decided on a time." Who knows what will happen tomorrow? Ziyan Miss has so readily agreed to next year's matter. If her true love really appears, it's hard to say if she'll still be free anytime!

  Just like last time, Gu Bei Chen left again at night, and the flight he took was exactly the same as last time.

  Different from before, this time there were more people coming to see him off. Apart from his own parents, his mother-in-law also came in person to see him off.

  The two elderly parents are 100% at ease with this son, and they have also gotten used to his leaving home, so there's basically nothing to remind him.

  As the mother-in-law, Yang Sulan has been saying that although she is talking about some common topics, it's not hard to hear her sincere intention from her tone. As the old saying goes, a daughter-in-law is half a daughter, and she really treats Beichen as one of her own family members, which is why she keeps nagging him with a lot of words.

  Gu Bei Chen was grateful, and he promised to follow his mother-in-law's advice. Finally, he solemnly vowed, "Don't worry, for the sake of Shan Shan, I will cherish myself even more than before."

  Yang Sulan nodded with a smile, turned to the two relatives and made a gesture, Gu's parents understood, pulled their reluctant granddaughter in front of them, "Xiao Xiao, say goodbye to your dad, we'll go first."

  "Mom is still here, I want to go with her." Last time when sending dad away, little girl intentionally let dad and mom say goodbye alone in order to make their relationship develop faster. Now that the relationship between dad and mom has become very good, she naturally feels it's not necessary.

  Xiao Xiao's hands grasped her own hem tightly, and Ye Shanshan didn't want to drive her away either. "It's okay, just let her stay with me."

  "Smile, smile, be good. Daddy and Mommy have something to talk about privately, let's not disturb them, okay?" The two old men in the Gu family were at a loss with this little devil, and finally had to rely on the little devil's grandmother to intervene.

  Although reluctantly, grandma's face still needs to be given. As soon as grandma is happy, she will definitely buy a lot of delicious food again. "Okay." After weighing the pros and cons, the little eater stood in front of grandpa and grandma, waving goodbye to dad, "Dad, see you later, think about smiling every day."

  "Got it." Gu Bei Chen originally just wanted to pat her head, as he had always expressed himself in a subtle way. But today, he especially wanted to hug her, and this thought flashed through his mind before he quickly put it into action. In the past, every time he left, what he hated most was leaving Xiao Xiao behind, but now that he had Shan Shan, Xiao Xiao could only take second place, yet the reluctance was still indescribable in words.

  The little girl was originally quite calm, but after being hugged by her father, her eyes immediately turned red. However, she had promised her father that she would not cry when sending him off, so in order to keep her promise, she quickly turned around and threw herself into her grandmother's arms, "Grandma, let's go out first."

  The three elders took the children and left first, leaving only the young couple alone.

  Maybe because the next reunion already had a clear deadline, Ye Shanshan didn't show too much reluctance. She even didn't know what to say to him, just tightly grasping his hand and staring at him with unwavering eyes, as if she wanted to carve his face into her heart.

  Her gaze was too focused, with no intention of speaking up at all. Gu Bei Chen felt the atmosphere was a bit strange, "Don't you want to say something?"

  Ye Shanshan slightly curved the corners of her lips, pulling out a faint smile, "Want to hear me say what?"

  "Say you don't want me to leave." Cough cough, how shameless, actually forcing his wife to make such an unreasonable request.

  "If I weren't telling the truth, I wouldn't say it." Ye Shanshan was completely uncooperative and finally even seriously scolded: "Don't forget the responsibility on your shoulders, after returning to the troops, work hard and don't think about those useless things."

  "What's 'have-not'?" Gu Bei Chen expressed his complete incomprehension of these new terms.

  Ye Shanshan didn't know how to explain this foreign word either, and later casually made something up, "It just means don't think about those useless things!"

  "What kind of thing is considered useless?" Gu Bei Chen was relentless.

  How annoying, always asking questions that others won't answer. Ye Shanshan was chased by him to the point of having no way out, and in her desperation, she could only use his usual method to make him shut up obediently.

  Uh, a 23-centimeter height difference makes it incredibly torturous to pounce on him and force a kiss. I've already strained myself by standing on tiptoes, with my arms hanging around his neck, yet I can only barely reach his chin.

  In the end, Gu Bei Chen still kindly helped her out, holding her up with one hand, making her body almost suspended in mid-air, and finally managed to kiss him solidly.

  The airport's waiting hall was bustling with people coming and going, and such a reluctant farewell couldn't help but attract the attention of some onlookers. However, they no longer cared about these things, as this separation would have to wait for another month before meeting again, and some emotions had to be vented now.

  One kiss was enough, Gu Beichen, with his astonishing lung capacity, remained expressionless, while Ye Shanshan was a bit short of breath and could only lean against his chest, panting softly.

  Gu Beichen was in a good mood and started joking, "It's been cold recently, have you forgotten to exercise?"

  Ye Shanshan suddenly lifted her head, and gave him a white eye without being polite, "Obviously it was you... You've been kissing for too long, okay!" Thinking that everyone is like you, no matter what they do, their endurance is so strong.

  Gu Bei Chen laughed with great satisfaction, taking this as a compliment, "That's right, your husband has always had good endurance."

  Although his voice was soft and low, Ye Shanshan still felt suffocated, a white eye could no longer vent her anger, it's better to stay away from him as soon as possible, "Hey, all these things are useless, don't think about them again after returning to the troops."

  "Can't you think about it before going to sleep?" Gu Bei Chen was clearly being sarcastic.

  "No way!" Ye Shanshan flatly denied, quickly covering his mouth with her hands, "As long as you think of me, that's enough, you don't need to think of me."

  Wow, so domineering, totally queen-like.

  "Alright, I won't think of you, just wait for you to come." The lady spoke, and Gu Bei Chen could only obediently listen, anyway, whether he thought of her or not, she didn't know.

  "By the way, what birthday gift do you want?" He was so busy scolding him that he almost forgot the main thing.

  "Being able to spend my birthday with you is the best gift I've ever received." Men generally don't make a big deal about birthdays, and Gu Bei Chen was no exception. As long as they were together and happy, every day was a good day worth celebrating.

  "You must, think about it carefully and tell me next time you call back." But Ye Shanshan was very insistent, how could the first birthday they spent together after getting married be taken lightly?

  Although he really didn't lack anything, in order to make her feel at ease, Gu Bei Chen still nodded and indicated that after returning home, he would think about it seriously.

  The airport's broadcast began to announce boarding reminders, and parting was imminent.

  No reluctant hugs, no goodbyes, just a heartfelt promise: wait for you.

  He walked away with big strides, and when he turned back to look at her for a moment, there was a faint smile on her face. At that moment, the sparkle in her eyes surpassed the brightest star in the sky.

  How wonderful! This beautiful girl with a pair of talking big eyes is his wife, his lover.

  After watching her husband pass through security checks, Ye Shanshan should also head back, as there were still a few people waiting for her outside.

  Five people in one row, two cars, how to sit is also a problem.

  "Tomorrow is the weekend, why don't you and Xiao Xiao go back to your hometown tonight, so you won't have to make another trip tomorrow." Old Lady Gu proposed, pulling her daughter-in-law along.

  Ye Shanshan was a bit embarrassed, she had already discussed with her mother before, and her mother would be staying at their home for the next two days. She hadn't thought of how to bring it up with her father-in-law yet, but her mother-in-law beat her to it.

  "Grandma, Nai Nai is coming to our house tonight." Fortunately, she still has Xiao Xiao as a messenger. Some things are more effective when said through the child's mouth than if she had said them herself.

  "Is this true?" Old Lady Gu's tone was noticeably lower.

  Ye Shanshan didn't have time to explain, and Old Master Gu suddenly spoke up, "Your mother-in-law is almost ready to return to France. This weekend, let Shanshan accompany her well, and don't rush her to go back and live."

  Although the old man didn't say much, once he spoke, it was an absolute military order that no one dared to question. Even if Old Lady Gu had opinions, she couldn't say anything openly, "Alright, since your mother rarely comes back, you should spend more time with her."

  With the help of an old man, things were quickly and easily resolved. Ye Shanshan also breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Dad and Mom."

  Yang Sulan was also grateful in her heart, "The two of you are really thoughtful."

  The problem of how to allocate the two cars was also easily solved. Mr. and Mrs. Gu sat in Comrade Xiao Lin's car, while Ye Shanshan took Xiaoxiao and her mother to sit in Comrade Xiao Feng's car.

  The car had just started, and Xiao Xiao, who couldn't stay still, began to hastily plan tomorrow's activities. "Mommy, where are we going to take Grandma to play tomorrow?"

  You little rascal, you just want to have fun yourself!

  "Tomorrow, there may not be much time to play. In the morning, I need to take my grandma to the cemetery to pay respects to great-grandpa, and in the afternoon, I have to go learn how to drive. I've already called the martial arts school to ask for leave, if you want to go, let grandma take you." Tomorrow's schedule was already planned out by Ye Shanshan, unfortunately, her plan didn't include anything related to playing.

  Visiting Grandpa Tai and learning to drive are both important matters. Xiao Xiao didn't dare question it, "Oh, what about the day after tomorrow?"

  "Arrange it for the day after tomorrow." Xiaoyao's mouth had already started to pout, clearly a sign that she was not very happy. Ye Shanshan could only hand over all the arrangements for the day after tomorrow to her.

  The little girl thought for a moment with a serious face, "The day after tomorrow, I still need to take out half a day to practice driving. When Mommy is practicing driving, I'll accompany Grandma, and in the afternoon we can go to the bookstore together, okay?"

  Ye Shanshan didn't expect Xiao Xiao to have such an arrangement, "Don't you want to go play at the new game city in Magic Castle?"

  "Let's go next time, Grandma's legs are not convenient, there are many people there, what if we accidentally bump into each other?" This little girl thinks a lot and it's all on point! Mommy has told her things that she remembers in her heart.

  At such a young age, she has such thoughts, Yang Sulan also feels very moved, "She's really a sensible and good child."

  "That's right, our Xiaoxiao is the most well-behaved and sensible child at home. She studies very well and can do kung fu as well as draw pictures. Her teachers and classmates all like her." Little kids all love to hear nice words, so Ye Shanshan also gave Xiao Lingjing a high hat in time.

  Suddenly being praised by her grandmother and mother in turn, the little girl felt a bit embarrassed and didn't know what to say, so she just smiled foolishly.

  Although Beichen is not around, Yang Sulan feels at ease with such a clever and sensible child accompanying Shanshan.

  The next day's itinerary proceeded according to Ye Shanshan's previously arranged plan, and at Ye Lao's grave, Yang Suyan couldn't help but ask Shanshan a question, "In the past... was it your grandfather who decided on this marriage for you?"

  Ye Shanshan didn't expect her mother to ask this question suddenly, and she was stunned, unsure of how to respond.

  Shan Shan didn't say a word, but Yang Su had already guessed the answer from her silence: "I can understand his decision, and with the Gu family's conditions being so good, Bei Chen is indeed a good man worthy of entrusting one's life to."

  "Indeed, Grandfather has always been good at judging people." Ye Shanshan smiled faintly and clasped her hands together, respectfully giving her grandfather three bows. Although she now had such a great husband and her mother was back, Ye Shanshan still firmly believed that it was her grandfather who had the greatest influence on her. Many of the things she knew were taught by him, and before he left, he even chose such a perfect husband for her.

  After visiting the old man, Yang Sulan also fulfilled one of her wishes. As the two-day weekend holiday came to an end, the day she would return to France was getting closer and closer. Before leaving, she went to G University again for two classes, although the teaching content was limited, it could at least let Shanshan accept some updated and more professional design concepts. Due to various unavoidable objective reasons, this is all she can do for Shanshan now.

  Yang Sulan also left on Friday, still at G City International Airport, but this time it was at B Terminal, international departure hall.

  The two elderly parents of the Gu family also rushed to see them off, and since they had married their daughter into this family, everything should be done with consideration for the Beichen family first; it was only right that they should make some gesture.

  "Don't worry, Mother, I and Old Gu will treat Shanshan as our own daughter." What Mrs. Gu said was not just to comfort the mother-in-law, but she had indeed been doing so all along.

  "Our home has two elderly people taking care of Shanshan, I'm very reassured." Yang Sulan wasn't worried about this at all, her eyes had been welling up with tears mainly because she couldn't bear to part with Shanshan. The next time they would meet would have to wait until next summer vacation, and even the earliest would be more than six months, for a mother who has been separated from her daughter for ten years, six months is also a very long time.

  "There's also Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao will take good care of Mommy too." The little ghost is clever and never likes to be lonely.

  "Look at my memory, how could I forget Xiaoxiao!" Because of the child's half-joking words, Yang Sulan's mood also relaxed a lot. This kid is clever and obedient, with many thoughts in her mind. Not to mention, sometimes Shanshan really needs to rely on her to take care of things.

  The two old men at home and Xiaoxiao have almost finished talking, the last time is still left to Shanshan. Last night she had already talked a lot with her mother and made some fixed arrangements.

  It may be because they had agreed to make regular phone calls and video calls online every week, so when sending her mother away, Ye Shanshan did not show much reluctance. Basically, it was incomparable to the mood when sending her husband away.

  She only said one sentence, "You must take good care of your body and don't overwork." Now that her mother's career is successful and her family is happy, Shanshan worries most about her physical health. After all, she had been in a serious car accident before and was lucky to have escaped with her life, so her physical condition can't be compared to ordinary people.

  "This is exactly what I want to tell you, Beichen will not be transferred back in the short term. You need to study and take care of a family, and you must take good care of your body. If anything happens, you must let your grandparents know, don't bear it alone." Shanshan has been stubborn since she was young, doesn't like to trouble others, this temperament is completely inherited from her father. As a mother, Yang Sulan knows best. But since it's an innate personality, it's almost impossible to change, can only remind her repeatedly.

  "Got it, I will." Ye Shanshan nodded obediently, in front of her mother, she was still the sensible and obedient good girl from ten years ago.

  The time difference was almost up, and Sophia, who had already completed the boarding procedures, came over to urge her. Seven days later, Ye Shanshan saw off another important person at the airport for the first time.

  And, coincidentally, the next evening, her husband's phone call and her mother's video request appeared at the same time. Poor Ye Shanshan, holding the phone in one hand and the mouse in the other, was stunned, not knowing whether to answer the phone or click accept on the video chat request.

  "Mom will answer the phone first, I'll chat with grandma for a while." In the end, Xiao Xiao made the decision for her.

  Ye Shanshan also thought it was a good idea, and after confirming, she took her phone back to her own room.

  Video chat connected quickly, looking at the screen, Yang Sulan felt a bit unexpected, "Xiao Xiao, where's your mom?"

  "Dad just called, and Mom went to answer the phone. It's definitely going to take less than ten minutes." The little devil was already familiar with the rules of Dad and Mom's phone calls, initially feeling a bit jealous, but now completely indifferent. "Isn't it good for Xiaoxiao to chat with Grandma?"

  "Okay, of course." The daughter got married and her heart belongs to her own husband, Yang Sulan naturally expressed understanding. In fact, as soon as she returned home, she was eager to video call with Shanshan mainly to show her younger son to Shanshan. Since she was on the phone, she could only let Xiaoxiao see him first, "Xiaoxiao come, grandma will introduce you to a new friend." After that, Yang Sulan brought the robust and energetic little Yu Jun in front of the screen, "Yu Jun, call sister."

  "No, no!" Laughing and hastily waving her hand to correct, "How can you call him sister? Laughter should be called little uncle instead." Hmm, Mom's brother, shouldn't he be called little uncle?

  Yang Sulan was clearly shocked by this strange fact, and she didn't respond for a long time. After coming to her senses, she suddenly burst out laughing without warning, "This is chaotic, I'm all confused!"

  "Grandma, uncle and mom seem to be alike, especially in the eyes." Xiaoxiao doesn't think there's anything unusual about it, and calling "uncle" is very natural.

  Although You Jun is only over three years old, he can already understand a lot of Chinese and speak well. "Who is sister's mommy?"

  "Your sister's mom is your sister." Yang Sulan replied to her son's question with a helpless expression and a tongue-twister-like sentence.

  The little guy was also dizzy, looking at his mother with a confused face, and then looking at the sister on the computer screen, not knowing what to say.
