But even she says she doesnât know how long her lifeline is, how can Qianxun not be sad?
Separation is not the most painful; the fear is never seeing each other again.
"Sister... why donât you come with us? Donât stay in Linyang. You return to Xicheng and wait for us. Li Sinian canât accompany you on the last part of your journey; you should come with us."
Heather shook her head, "No, dear. You all go ahead. I wonât return to Xicheng either."
"Is it Mr. Nian who wonât let you go? Iâll go talk to him!"
In a fit of anger, Qianxun rushed to Nian Shenâs car, opened the door, and cried, "Mr. Nian, please give Sister Weiwei back to us. Weâll find you another bodyguard as good as her, or even better, to protect you."
"Uh..." Yi Yang looked at all of this, feeling a bit of a headache.
Nian Shen didnât refuse; he only said, "Mrs. Gu, I havenât restricted her personal freedom. Wherever she wants to go, she is free. If she wants to go back with you, I wonât hinder her."
"Sister, did you hear that? Mr. Nian agreed! Come back with us." Qianxun, with tear-filled eyes, felt that leaving her alone in Linyang was truly heartless.
"Silly girl, I donât want to go back," Heather said with a smile and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Weâve only been together for three days. Separating again already feels so painful; I donât want to say... then..."
As Heather spoke, she felt more and more bitter inside and forced herself to continue, "Really, itâs not just him who is important to me, you are equally important. I will be sad just the same. So, letâs part here and look forward to the next meeting."
Qianxun was still unwilling to leave, so Heather gently pushed her into Gu Lianchengâs embrace. "Take her back, calm her emotions, itâs best not to have large emotional fluctuations during pregnancy."
She exchanged a glance with Gu Liancheng and said, "Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Their goodbye was brief.
After saying goodbye, Heather got into the car without turning back to look at them and said to Yi Yang, "Letâs go."
Yi Yang didnât start the car immediately, "Right away? Mrs. Gu seems very sad, shouldnât we say something more?"
"No need, thereâs always endless sorrow in farewells."
The car drove for quite a while before Nian Shen saw tears fall from Heatherâs eyes.
This separation made it truly hard to meet again.
Goodbye, my friends.
Perhaps...
Itâs a final farewell.
Nian Shen handed her a few tissues, "Not going back with them is also because leaving would be even harder, right?"
She nodded and wiped away her tears, remaining silent the whole way.
She didnât speak, so Yi Yang and Nian Shen also remained silent, enveloped in silence throughout the journey.
...
Days passed, and Gu Liancheng and Qianxun had been gone from her life for some time, and everything gradually returned to its previous state, accustomed once again to the old routine.
Life, bodyguard, filming, everything was as usual, nothing special.
Occasionally, the scatterbrained Mo Jun Tian would appear to stir things up, as if the heavens wanted to ensure her life wouldnât be too monotonous.
She always felt what he really needed was to eat more walnuts to enhance his brain.
Apart from that, nowadays no one in the crew would oppose her. As for Qu Leqi, she is best avoided entirely to prevent conflict.
To avoid such conflicts, the director also tried to separate their scenes as much as possible.
