NOVEL NEXT Chapter 886: 886
Liu Zhizhong was stunned for a moment and didn't respond immediately.
Xiao Xing already said, "Miss Ling, how could my sister and I leave you behind and go out to play with Liu Zhizhong? That's impossible! Wouldn't we be neglecting our duties? If you were to get hurt, how would we explain to Young Master Xuan?"
Da Xing nodded and said, "Exactly! We can't leave Miss Ling even for a moment! Liu Zhizhong is here to keep his mother-in-law company, we don't need to accompany his mother-in-law."
Liu Zhizhong laughed and said, "Yes, Sister Ling, this arrangement is not appropriate. If you want to go to Immortal Lake, let's all go together!"
Gan Ling smiled, still so enchanting that it stirred one's soul. "Da Xing, Xiao Xing, how many years have you two been with me, do you remember?"
Da Xing and Xiao Xing both froze for a moment, a bit silent.
After a while, Xiao Xing said, "Since Miss Ling was confined by the Qian Family, until now, right? Ten years, haha..."
Liu Zhizhong couldn't help but exclaim, "Ten years? My heavens..."
Xiao Xing said coldly, "What are you so surprised about? Everyone has a few decades in their life, don't they?"
Liu Zhizhong: "..."
He could only nod and say nothing, not wanting to argue with her.
This little woman was quite cold and sharp-tongued! He sympathized with her ten years, yet she didn't seem to appreciate it.
One day, that sharp little mouth of yours, I'd like to see you sing and dance.
Gan Ling said, "Ten full years! Your best youthful years were spent with me, never leaving my side, taking care of all my needs. Never once going back, never once taking a vacation. I feel deeply indebted in my heart."
"I, Gan Ling, bear guilt. Even if everyone thinks I am guilty, you two are innocent. Though you were well paid, there was nowhere to spend it, and this came at the cost of your freedom."
"These years, I have read many books in the Qian Family's basement. I have come to understand certain things. The most precious thing in life is life itself, and the most precious aspect of life is freedom!"
"Tonight, after paying respects to my mother, I will also be free. And you two should also have your freedom. I will tell my brother to dismiss you, and he shouldn't oppose it."
"Find a man who loves you, fall in love, enjoy marriage, enjoy having children. This is life, an inevitability that you mustn't refuse."
"It's me who has been a burden to you. Please forgive me. Therefore, it's okay to go to Immortal Lake with Zhizhong. May you live happily."
After this, the carriage was a bit silent.
Liu Zhizhong's inner heart admired the demeanor and humanistic quality of the delicate young lady even more.
Da Xing and Xiao Xing were also moved, not knowing what to say. After some time, would they be unemployed?
Unemployment wasn't scary because over the past ten years, they each earned twenty million, which was enough.
The scary part was that they would no longer be able to accompany Gan Ling, something in their lives would feel missing.
After a long while, Da Xing finally said, "What about you, Miss Ling? If we leave, where will you go, what about your safety?"
Gan Ling smiled and said, "Where else would I go? I think I'll live near my mother's burial site for a while. Our Mogu Clan has always had a tradition of the younger generation watching over the elder's tomb, three years for men, one year for women. Ten years have passed, and I still haven't had the chance to watch over my mother's tomb!"
"As for living and safety, I've discussed my plans with my brother, he will arrange everything properly overnight. Absolute power always brings absolute advantage and security. This is the shame of human civilization, but I can only rely on it."
Damn... Liu Zhizhong took a deep breath, Sister Ling has depth!
