From Sidekick to Bigshot

"What? So you only think of me when you need my help? When you no longer need my help, you decide to just leave? Who do you think I am?" Grandpa Sun asked. The look on his face immediately became upset.

"Didn't you not want us to be here?" Zhai Yunsheng asked rhetorically.

"I… I…" Grandpa Sun started. "Well, I said that in the past. I didn't want you to get yourself into trouble. But the situation is different now! Besides, I helped you solve so much! Shouldn't you show your appreciation in some way? I don't want you to take advantage of me and then just leave. Regardless of your plans, you must stay at Jin Jin's home for a couple of days!"

Grandpa Sun said this as he did not know when Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng would return here in the future.

"Okay," Jian Yiling replied.

She missed being there.

Then, Zhai Yunsheng picked up Little Zeze and held Jian Yiling's hand as they walked to Jin JIn's home.

Even though Jin Jin went to Beijing with them, An Yang left a few subordinates to take care of her place and the vegetable patch she had. The presence of An Yang's subordinates also made sure nothing happened to her home in her absence.

This place held a lot of memories.

Both of them remembered that time when they just reunited.

Back then, one of them was injured whilst the other was seriously ill. As Zhai Yunsheng was scared of hurting Jian Yiling again, she took the initiative to approach him. Every day, despite his resistance, she would consistently stay with him.

Jian Yiling's memories began to surface…

She thought about the time when they first met.

She thought about the times when he secretly helped her behind her back.

She thought about the time when he came to her rescue despite risking his own life.

She thought about the time when he chose to separate himself from her because he wanted her to have the best things in life.

She thought about the times when he used sly tricks to keep her by his side after they finally reunited.

She thought about the times when they lived and recovered together.

And finally, she thought about their marriage.

…

Countless days had passed since they first met.

There were three years of waiting and two years of parting.

If she accounted for the two years they spent together, they had known each other for seven entire years.

Back then, she was only fifteen years old. And now, she was twenty-two years old.

In her last life, when she was twenty-two years old, she had been lying in a hospital bed and was awaiting her inevitable death.

However, in this life, she was incredibly fortunate to meet him.

He made everything in her life better.

She felt incredibly happy.

When Zhai Yunsheng noticed Jian Yiling staring intently at him, a doting and gentle smile appeared on his face.

"What are you looking at?" Zhai Yunsheng asked.

"I'm looking at my husband. My A Sheng."

"Have you seen enough?"

"Nope. I haven't seen enough. I want to look at you for my entire life," Jian Yiling answered.

"When did you learn to say those romantic words?" His little rabbit became cheeky.

"Are these words considered romantic?"

"Mhmm."

They were very sweet and romantic.

"Then shall I say these words more often in the future?"

"Okay," Zhai Yunsheng replied.

A lovely smile also appeared on Jian Yiling's face.

She turned to look at the small yard in front of them as she said: "A Sheng, I'm glad I didn't miss you in this life."

"Mhmm. Thank you for not giving up on me."

"And I want to thank you for firmly holding my hand back then."

Even though Jian Yiling was the one who refused to give up on Zhai Yunsheng, in the beginning, he was the one who first grabbed her hand.

Upon hearing this, Zhai Yunsheng replied: "No matter what happens in the future. I will never let go."

After saying this, Zhai Yunsheng lowered his head and kissed Jian Yiling.

Jian Yiling also raised her head and responded to the kiss enthusiastically.

"Waaaa… Waaa…"

Little Zeze was squeezed between them.

Waaa… It was hard to breathe…
