But Jian Yufei always felt it wasn’t like that.

However, she was too tired and didn’t have the energy to think deeply.

"No matter what, I must cure Dad..." She mumbled, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Ruan Tianling stared at her face, his thin lips slightly pursed.

She’s always like this; once she sets her mind on something, she pursues it till the end.

No matter how much effort it takes, she won’t give up.

That’s why she’s suffered so much along the way.

But it’s precisely because of her simple persistence that they were able to get out of London unscathed.

If not for her, Ansel’s poison wouldn’t have been cured, Junqi wouldn’t have been rescued, and the father-in-law wouldn’t have been found.

Even Mo Lan wouldn’t have escaped the pit of fire.

Although sometimes she only played a small role in instigating.

Yet, without her instigation, where would the subsequent butterfly effect come from?

Along the way, although they faced many dangers, they always managed to see the light at the end.

Perhaps she was right, the father-in-law’s body really needs their efforts to recover faster.

Ruan Tianling was originally unhappy about her spending time on Xiao Zexin every day, neglecting and ignoring him.

He planned to forcibly make her stop taking care of the father-in-law.

There’s no need to do it herself when there are servants available.

But now, he’s compromised.

He can’t resist this woman’s stubbornness, and there’s also a belief that she’s doing the right thing.

It’s not only because the actions are correct.

Perhaps one day, the rewards will manifest.

Ruan Tianling doesn’t believe in sayings like good begets good, and evil begets evil.

But at this moment, he believed.

And in the days that followed, he realized how wise today’s compromise was.

...

Jian Yufei still circles around her father every day.

After Ruan Tianling understood and supported her, he no longer stopped her from meeting Xiao Zexin.

But it’s limited to her standing at the door talking to Xiao Zexin.

"Dad, do you like the dishes today? Is there anything you particularly want to eat? I’ll make it for you next time." Jian Yufei stood at the door, smiling and asking the person inside.

Xiao Zexin leaned against the head of the bed, eyes closed, not looking at her.

"Dad, if you don’t answer me, I’ll come in." Jian Yufei threatened.

The two bodyguards at the door panicked.

What they feared the most was her barging in, which would make the young master furious.

Xiao Zexin was also afraid she’d come in, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

"No! Get out!"

"Oh. Did you listen to the recording Mom gave you?"

"No!"

Jian Yufei felt a bit disappointed, "Dad, you should listen to it. Are you planning to never see us or hear our voices again?"

"..."

Jian Yufei no longer bothered him, "Dad, rest well, I’ll come to see you later."

After she left, Xiao Zexin hesitated for a while, then opened the drawer at the bedside.

Inside, there were already nine recording pens.

He hadn’t listened to any of them.

But now, he was curious about what’s inside.

He remembered very clearly which one was the first, even though they all looked the same.

Xiao Zexin accurately picked the first one and, gathering great courage, pressed the play button—

The beautiful music spilled out from it...

Followed by Nangong Ruyue’s pleasant voice.

"When you are old, and your hair is white..."

Xiao Zexin’s eyes suddenly reddened.

He still remembered, this poem was the love token he gave her back then.

At that time, he had hopelessly fallen in love with a girl.
