Chapter 2240 - 642: Homecoming, A Hungry Man (Part 7)
Gu Yelin’s lips curled into a gentle smile as he turned to plate the warmed night snack, "Tutu, don’t overthink it, I’ve got everything covered. No matter what happens, we’re in this together."
"Mm," An Yiqing responded softly, her eyes reddening. He knew, he understood what she feared in her heart. Ever since she learned the fate of the Chosen One, she had been restless. She wasn’t afraid of dying, but rather afraid of being apart from him. Over the past month, she had kept her worries subdued, yet the unease within her grew even stronger. Now, finally able to see him, touch him, she feared that these moments might one day no longer be hers.
Placing the night snack on the dining table, Gu Yelin squatted in front of An Yiqing and firmly grasped her hands.
"Honey," his dark eyes were deep, filled with warmth, "don’t be afraid. If one day you really have to return to the void, I’ll go with you. No matter where, I’ll stay by your side."
"Mm," An Yiqing’s eyes were red, she didn’t demand that Gu Yelin must live. If one day Gu Yelin was gone, she would follow him without hesitation. She knew Gu Yelin felt the same way. No matter where, no matter the circumstance, no matter if human or ghost, they would not be separated.
A crystalline tear slowly slid from the corner of her eye, but An Yiqing smiled. In that smile, there was no bitterness, no fear, no anxiety.
"Alright, no matter where we are, we won’t be apart."
As long as he was present, anywhere was acceptable.
An Yiqing smiled, and Gu Yelin smiled along with her. He fondly ruffled her hair and stood up.
"Hurry and eat, it’ll cool down soon."
An Yiqing nodded, picked up a piece of pumpkin pie with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, her eyes lighting up.
"So delicious! Ah Lin, you have some too!"
Gu Yelin sat next to An Yiqing, opening his mouth to accept the pumpkin pie she fed him. Indeed, it was very tasty.
The two fed each other, quickly finishing four plates of food. An Yiqing had regained her smile, she was a woman, naturally sentimental. However, with her Ah Lin, no matter how sad she was, she would find strength to push forward.
Gu Yelin felt for An Yiqing, tonight he decided not to tire her further. Lying in the big bed, An Yiqing enjoyed Master Gu’s expert massage, humming contentedly like a little pig.
That night, the two embraced and spoke about everything that had happened recently.
Only then did An Yiqing learn that Gu Yelin went abroad because of The Church.
"The Church has been very active lately, frequently interacting with Country Bai. The bigshots are very worried, asking me to keep a close watch. Since there wasn’t much going on recently, I went to Divine Country to investigate in-depth. I actually uncovered a few things." Gu Yelin said, holding An Yiqing.
"What?"
"The Church is planning to collaborate with the Anpei Family, they’ll soon send people for negotiations."
As she fiddled with Gu Yelin’s fingers, An Yiqing paused, her brow furrowing.
"Also, another thing, it seems Anpei Lan has been planning something lately, the Anpei Family has many activities going on in secret."
An Yiqing’s brows furrowed deeper; she was about to go to Country Bai, with Anpei Lan and The Church collaborating at such a crucial time, could they possibly clash?
That Anpei Lan was so weird, and The Church was her mortal enemy. These two forming an alliance wouldn’t be easy to deal with.
"By the way, I’ll be heading to Country Bai in a while." Gu Yelin suddenly said.
An Yiqing’s brows raised, "Alone?"
"No, taking Tan Yulin and Cao Xiaosha with me."
"For what purpose?"
"To monitor The Church and Anpei Family, see what they’re up to. Hopefully, get involved at the right time."
An Yiqing’s eyes shifted; if Ah Lin went to Country Bai, wouldn’t he discover her whereabouts?
"What’s on your mind?" Noticing An Yiqing had been silent for a while, Gu Yelin sensed something was off. His dark eyes narrowed; he glanced at her coolly, "Are you hiding something from me?"
