  “There’s no need to explain. I know everything. Miss Tang, before you came to look for me, Mr Li had already told me about you. I have the same stance as him. Miss Tang, you have to control your own happiness.”


  With a backhand, Lady Mary clasped her friend’s slender hand in hers, her voice reassuring.

  “Thank you, Lady Mary. I might not have been able to get this contract without you.”


  “No, no, no. It’s not my credit. It’s your idea that moved me. I’m willing to take less money as long as I can guarantee the castle in my memory.”


  Mary paused for a moment and looked at the two dolls on the table beside her. She stood up and walked to the table. “The memories in this manor are for me to honor my very good friend.”


  Lady Mary picked up the male and female dolls on the table and looked at them carefully. The former was tall and handsome, the latter was delicate and lovely. They made a wonderful couple.

  “Where is your friend now?”


  Tang Xiaoyu did not know what was going on but she could guess what was going on from Lady Mary’s expression.

  “She’s already in heaven, in a beautiful world. I wish her well. At the same time, I hope that she can think of me in that beautiful place.”


  When Lady Mary got emotional, she could not help but tear up. Turning around, she looked at her best friend and said, “That was my best friend but she left me because of an accident. Tang Xiaoyu, do you understand this feeling? In this world, a relative who is not related to you by blood left you without you knowing and will never return. She will never return to my side again, never again……”


  Lady Mary’s eyes were red as the pain in her heart was finally unraveled. The sad thing that she did not want to mention was finally unveiled in front of Tang Xiaoyu.

  “Lady Mary, don’t be sad. Since your friend has left this world, she will be silently protecting you somewhere. You just have to wait patiently. I believe that she will protect you forever. As long as you are willing to return to reality, as long as you are willing……”


  “Tang Xiaoyu, you’re still young and don’t understand this feeling. We grew up together and I’ve seen her sad, pained, and happy expressions. She isn’t by my side when I should receive her blessings. My husband is also someone she knows. The three of us are best friends.”


  “Lady Mary, I—”


  It seemed that Lady Mary’s memory contained her best girl friend. However, Tang Xiaoyu did not seem to have the courage or strength to comfort Lady Mary.

  “Miss Tang, you don’t have to comfort me anymore. I know. I’m sorry, I lost my composure just now.”


  She held Tang Xiaoyu’s hand and stood up again. Looking at the Chinese woman beside her with eyes and actions very similar to her best friend’s, she seemed to have seen her best friend.

  “Lady Mary, I hope that you can live well with your husband. I will also protect this manor for you. Don’t worry.”


  Tang Xiaoyu thought of her best friend who was in the same situation as Pei Ge.

  Tang Xiaoyu suddenly missed Pei Ge, a girl who had many surprises. When she realized that Gu Zhengrong never had a place for her in his heart, she hated Pei Ge and how she could have such an important place in his heart.

  It just so happened that she, Tang Xiaoyu, could not do it. She, who had such a great love for Gu Zhengrong, could not get even a single bit of love from him.

  This man seemed to be more heartless than she had imagined.

  Perhaps, she would never meet such a man again in her life, but Tang Xiaoyu did not regret it at all. She had once worked hard for him and sacrificed so much for him.

  While Tang Xiaoyu was thinking about Pei Ge, Pei Ge and Ji Ziming were having a peaceful family life in the Ji family’s villa.

  “Ziming, take the chopsticks. I’ll make something delicious for the children.”


  Pei Ge stood in the kitchen with her apron wrapped around her waist. There was smoke coming out of the wok from the oil.

  “You should get out of here. I’ll make it for the children.”


  Ji Ziming rolled up his sleeves and lightly wrapped his arms around Pei Ge’s slender waist. He leaned his lips against her ear and said in a bewitching voice, “Mom and Dad aren’t home today, so let me cook for the children. Go out and play with them. Otherwise, we’ll both be in the kitchen. According to Ran Ran’s character, she’ll definitely bring her two brothers in.”


  “No need. I’ll do it in the kitchen. You should go out.”


  Pei Ge’s fair ears blushed slightly and looked extremely seductive. Ji Ziming tightened his grip on her arm. “Ge Ge, why are you so disobedient?”


  “I……”


  Before she could think of anything else to say, he took a basket of fruits from her and said softly, “You can leave. I’ll handle the kitchen matters.”


  “Do you know how to cook?”


  Pei Ge frowned slightly. In her impression, Ji Ziming was rarely seen in the kitchen. Today, it was also because Father Ji and Mother Ji had gone out to play that she suddenly thought of cooking something for the three children that she was best at. She did not expect her plan to be disrupted by Ji Ziming.

  “I don’t know but I can learn.”


  Ji Ziming’s face was cold. He was not afraid of the hot pot at all. Instead, he enjoyed being chased out of the kitchen and busy himself.

  “Don’t worry, I can do it alone.”
