Before heading out, Jinxuan requested leave from the company; once this task is completed, his vacation begins.
He has been eagerly waiting for Xinyanās return, almost counting the days on his fingers.
After all, with his wife coming back, the day of their marriage isnāt far off.
Last night, he called the Gu Familyās old house and learned that Xinyan would return to the Capital tomorrow, naturally putting him in a great mood.
His apprentice, whom he has been mentoring for a while now, is a lively kid: "Master, Iām already eighteen, why are you calling me a little brat? My mom is already looking for a wife for me."
Jinxuan frowned and glanced at his apprentice: "Your mom is way too anxious."
Wu Tianxi laughed: "Master, my mom says itās better to find a wife early, because if you wait too long, all the good ones will be taken. Finding one of the same age will be difficult.
You canāt end up like Master who, after finally finding a wife, still has to wait for her, and if you wait a few more years, kids of the same age will be running errands by then."
Jinxuanās face darkened: Why did he choose such an out-of-line apprentice?
Giving his apprentice a sharp look: "So Iāve become a negative example?"
Wu Tianxi grinned: "Not exactly, my mom said if youāre lucky, you might still come out on top later."
Jinxuan didnāt quite get it: "What are you even talking about?"
Wu Tianxi perked up: "Master, even though youāre marrying late, there are people around your age who have been married for several years but still havenāt had kids.
My mom said that after you get married, sheāll make sure to take care of you and your wife so you can have children soon, to shut up those who make snide comments."
Upon hearing this, Jinxuan understood perfectly well.
Wherever you go, there are always nosy people for no reason, and surely Sister Wu heard something outside that made her speak up for him, and thatās why sheās brainwashed this kid.
He really doesnāt care what others say; getting to marry Xinyan is his blessing from eight lifetimes.
Even if they get married, the two of them couldnāt possibly have a child right away, after all, Yanyan is still in school, and heās already figured that out long ago.
Moreover, Yanyan is still young; her master and mistress have had talks with him about this; even without them, he wouldnāt plan on having Yanyan have a child early.

The Gu Familyās old house
Mr. Gu had just stepped out of the study when he saw his wife coming over with the freshly brewed supplement: "Yiwen, are you done?"
Mr. Gu quickly walked over to take the bowl from her hands: "Yes, when did you return?"
Old Madam Gu smiled gently: "Just got in, worried that youād forget, donāt forget what Yanyan said before she left."
Mr. Gu touched his nose: "How could I dare forget? I havenāt missed a day."
Speaking, he lightly supported his wife: "Please sit down and rest, Iāll massage your shoulders in a bit."
Old Madam Gu smiled and sat down: "You know, the medicine Yanyan prepared for me is truly effective; Iāve been so busy lately, Iāve nearly forgotten about my shoulders."
After saying this, she added: "I wonder if weāll be able to wait for Zeāer to return?"
Hearing this, Mr. Gu paused in his actions: "Which is why we must take good care of ourselves, I believe our Zeāer will surely return safely."
Thinking of the news received earlier, his eyes grew deep.
Without confirmed news, heās careful not to mention it to his wife, fearing her emotions might fluctuate too much and affect her health.
Heād rather endure all this torment alone.
