Chapter: 3113

Gu Qiuyi had just left, and Charlie Wade felt a bit lonely. The yard was quiet, and the night air was still chilly. As he looked up at the moon and stars, a deep sigh escaped him. He never imagined that Gu Qiuyi’s concert would end like this. Remembering the photos from the concert filled his heart with both nostalgia and shame.

Though Charlie had faced many challenges over the years, thanks to Tang Sihai’s secret support, he had always managed to have food and shelter. However, he realized that he had never fully appreciated how hard Gu Qiuyi’s family had worked to find him during his struggles. Their kindness touched him deeply, and he felt lost when it came to repaying that love, especially since Gu Qiuyi had stayed true to their marriage contract, waiting for nearly two decades.

This sense of gratitude became a heavy burden for Charlie, and he couldn’t figure out how to express it. He was also aware that Xiao Churan, his wife of four years, would always be by his side.

As he stood there lost in thought, Xiao Churan stepped out of the villa. She wore a cotton jacket and held Charlie’s down jacket in her hand. She walked over to him, gently draping the jacket over his shoulders. “Husband, why are you standing out here? It’s really cold tonight,” she said.

Charlie smiled and replied, “The room felt a bit boring, so I wanted to come out for some fresh air.”

Xiao Churan nodded and suggested, “Why don’t we go back inside?”

“It’s mid-March, so we don’t need to turn on the heating in the house,” Xiao Churan said.

Charlie Wade replied, “It’s actually best to keep it on. This is the peak of cold season, and it’s much more comfortable with the heating.”

Xiao Churan didn’t argue with him. Instead, she looked at Charlie with concern and asked, “Husband, you seem a bit troubled. Is something bothering you?”

Charlie hesitated but answered, “No, not really. I have a feng shui job coming up around Qingming. A family in Yanjing wants me to check the feng shui of their ancestral grave, but it seems a bit complicated. I was just thinking about how to handle it.”

He wanted to keep Xiao Churan from worrying, and he also wanted to prepare her for the trip to Yanjing before the Qingming Festival.

After saying this, instead of feeling relieved, Charlie felt a wave of sadness. Since Tang Sihai had returned and he had acquired the Nine Profound Heaven Scriptures, he and Xiao Churan had been surrounded by lies. Even if many of these lies were meant to protect her, they still weighed on him.

When Xiao Churan heard about Charlie taking another feng shui job, she didn’t doubt him. Instead, she asked, “Husband, why are you taking on another feng shui job?”

Charlie replied casually, “I was offered a lot of money, so I couldn’t say no.”
