Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 2441: Chapter 2442: Return to Tianyun (8)

”No matter what you’re doing, I don’t want to talk to you right now, go away.” Gong Juechen pushed Su Yixing aside with a shove.

Being pushed by his master, Su Yixing didn’t get angry; instead, he smiled and said to his brothers, ”Let’s head out and let them talk properly.”

Once all seven sons had gone out, An Jing pulled Ye Zhi to sit on the couch beside her.

Su Changyi sat on the other side of the couch.

Gong Juechen sat on a round stool beside the table and asked with a cheeky smile, ”Wasn’t it the medicine that worked, so you just suddenly woke up?”

An Jing nodded and said, ”We woke up suddenly. However...”

She glanced at the door to make sure no one was around, then spoke at a volume only the four of them could hear: ”We’re not hiding anything from you; after all, you know Ye Zi isn’t from this world. You’re so smart, so you must have realized that I’m not from this world either. Let me be honest with you, although we’ve seemed to be asleep here for three years, in truth, we’ve lived a lifetime in another world.”

Gong Juechen wasn’t terribly surprised and just let it go.

Ye Zhi, however, was particularly excited but kept her voice low: ”Wow, Boss, you’ve traveled through dimensions again! So, was the experience of these three years fun?”

An Jing hesitated but still said, ”I traveled back to my original world.” After a pause, she added, ”Our original world.”

The smile on Ye Zhi’s face instantly disappeared, and her mood sank: ”You can still go back and see them, but what about me...”

Seeing Ye Zhi like this, Gong Juechen immediately hugged her tightly in a protective and domineering manner: ”You’ve married me, so you can only stay by my side. Don’t mention anything about going back or not; what would I do if you went back?”

Ye Zhi knew how much Gong Juechen loved her, but her mood still remained low. Gently pushing Gong Juechen away, her tone was still somber: ”I just miss my parents and siblings, that’s all. Don’t worry, I won’t leave you.”

Gong Juechen was relieved but felt a pang of heartache for his wife, Ye Zhi.

Ye Zhi continued in a low mood: ”Besides, I can’t just go back because I want to, it depends on chance.”

”You can’t leave me anyway! Even if you want to go back, you need to take me with you like Jingjing and Changyi did! We mustn’t be separated!” Gong Juechen insisted adamantly on this point.

Ye Zhi, still feeling down, grew a bit impatient: ”I’ve already said I won’t leave you, what more do you want? Can you stop talking to me for now? I really feel a bit suffocated.”

As she spoke the last words, Ye Zhi’s voice was choking with emotion.

Gong Juechen’s heart ached terribly, but he didn’t speak to Ye Zhi anymore; instead, he took hold of one of her hands and held it tightly.

Ye Zhi let him hold her hand.

Seeing Ye Zhi in such distress, almost on the verge of tears, An Jing quickly said: ”Ye Zi, don’t be so upset. When I was in the modern world, I saw your brother. Later, when I got to know him well, I visited your home — your parents and siblings are doing really well, especially your eldest brother; he’s particularly brilliant in research, and the company is getting bigger and bigger. Your family’s doing better and better.”

In these words, there was a mix of truth and exaggeration, but they managed to soothe Ye Zhi a bit.

Meanwhile, Ye Zhi curiously asked, ”Boss, how did you meet my brother? Was it a chance encounter, or...”

An Jing replied, ”You know your brother is excellent in research, but not good at management.”
