Ziyan thought to herself, "If it comes out, then so be it. In this vast world, how could someone as diligent and intelligent as I am not find a place to belong?"
"I will keep this secret for you. Besides me, do not tell anyone else, including your closest family members. If unscrupulous people find out, it will bring you endless trouble and even catastrophic disasters. Of course, I will wait until you are ready to tell me about that world."
After hearing Gu Yuxuan's words, Ziyan felt a shiver run through her body and was filled with trepidation!
She thought to herself: I've only known this guy for a few days? I've completely handed over my life to him without realizing it.
Seeing Ziyan's reaction, Gu Yuxuan was taken aback: It turns out this girl already had her own way of living and plans.
Regarding marriage, Gu Yuxuan, who had long been familiar with the cruel struggles caused by the many wives and concubines in the Mansion, smiled faintly.
Then he confidently said, "Of course I can give you a good future, and in this lifetime, one wife is enough for me. As for my background, I will tell you everything when the time is right. Will you wait for me, Yan'er?"
"You don't have to answer so quickly. I cannot predict or control your future, so let's maintain our current simple relationship for now. As for future developments, we will let fate decide."
After saying this, Ziyan added sternly, "I can forgive you for today’s incident, but from now on, you must not take advantage of me again."
"Ah—?"
Gu Yuxuan felt speechless at her last remark! At that moment, the situation was urgent; it was unavoidable!
However, upon further reflection, he realized that although this girl appeared shrewd on the surface, she had revealed such a significant secret to him at a critical moment. This could only mean that she subconsciously trusted him quite a bit.
A surge of joy and excitement welled up in Gu Yuxuan. It seemed this girl was indeed interested in him; she was just filled with too much fear and uncertainty about the future.
Looking at the lovely person before him, Gu Yuxuan couldn't help but get up and embrace her from behind. What started as a gentle attempt gradually turned into a tight hug, fearing that she might suddenly disappear from his life.
At the moment Gu Yuxuan embraced her, Ziyan froze completely.
Just a moment ago, he had promised not to take advantage of her again, so how could he suddenly dare to hold her tightly? In an instant, Ziyan felt utterly confused about the character of Monster.
She struggled with all her might, saying, "Hey, did you forget what you just said?"
Gu Yuxuan gently placed a kiss on Ziyan's forehead and then smiled contentedly as he said, "Silly girl, how could this be taking advantage? Don't worry, I never truly intended to take advantage of you before; it was simply a matter of urgency. In the future, I won't either. I still have to wait for you to grow up into a young lady, tall enough to reach me here. Then I will marry you in a phoenix crown and bridal gown with a ten-mile red makeup."
After saying that, he pointed to a certain part of his chest.
With her face already flushed with embarrassment, Ziyan forced herself to control her awkwardness and looked calmly at Gu Yuxuan, who had just made a serious promise. She kept staring until Gu Yuxuan felt a shiver down his spine, but he still met her gaze and nodded heavily in affirmation towards his beloved girl.
Lost in thought for a moment, Ziyan also nodded, "Okay, then I will wait and see."
A decisive agreement! The future of the two had thus formed a simple and beautiful blueprint—
Of course, Gu Yuxuan's youthful dreams were further ignited: his future would no longer be filled only with hatred—looking at the girl he loved, he realized he needed to live well for her sake.
Having made a solemn decision in his heart, Gu Yuxuan composed himself and walked over to the large bundle of bird's nests wrapped in Lotus Leaf that he had carelessly thrown on the ground earlier.
Upon closer inspection, the Lotus Leaf had already spread out on the ground, and the bird's nests had scattered outside of it. Gu Yuxuan bent down and picked up each bird's nest one by one, placing them back inside the Lotus Leaf, then brought them back to Ziyan.
"Look at this. What is it? It's for you."
"Bird's Nest, are you sure these are real Bird's Nest? Can there really be Bird's Nest in this place?"
"Of course it's true."
Gu Yuxuan said as she picked up a piece of off-white bird's nest, shaped like a curved Crescent Moon, and held it up to Ziyan's nose. "Just smell it."
Ziyan snatched the small piece of bird's nest into her hands, then lifted it to her nose and inhaled deeply. After smelling it several times, she couldn't help but let out a scream, completely forgetting about everything that had happened before.
"Really, there is that slight fishy smell like egg white. How did you discover this? Where did you find it?"
Excitedly, Ziyan bombarded Gu Yuxuan with a series of questions.
Gu Yuxuan also completely emerged from her earlier seriousness and looked at Ziyan, who had returned to her usual playful self. Her mood brightened.
Pointing towards the cliff on the other side of the Deep Pool, she said, "Over there, but it's not just over there. In fact, there are many similar cliffs in this Ancient Forest where we live, and the nests are built on these cliffs, and the bird's nests grow there."
Ziyan found it hard to believe, but she knew clearly that Gu Yuxuan would not deceive her.
Thinking about how she lived in such a forest, and according to what Gu Yuxuan just said, there were many cliffs in this forest with bird's nests. This meant that there would surely be a continuous supply of Bird's Nest.
This news was enough to make Ziyan temporarily forget all her past and present troubles.
Feeling overwhelmingly excited, Ziyan took the initiative to grab Gu Yuxuan's hand and tried to negotiate with her. "Can you take me to those cliffs later to collect all the Bird's Nest for this season?"
Afraid that Gu Yuxuan would refuse, Ziyan looked at her with pleading eyes while nodding her head vigorously.
"I will make Bird's Nest Porridge for you and Uncle Gu. If you eat it, you will definitely live longer and stay youthful."
"Poof—You, greedy enough to swallow an elephant, be careful not to burst your belly!"
Gu Yuxuan chuckled teasingly while affectionately patting the head of the adorable person in front of him.
Then, with a hint of impatience, he nodded, "Alright, I'll go along with you."
Looking up at the sky, he continued, "However, it's getting late today. We should hurry back. In a couple of days, I'll take you to find something else."
"Mm mm mm—" Ziyan also looked up and realized it was indeed getting late, so she obediently nodded in agreement.
Soon after, the two returned to the side of the Deep Pool.
Gu Yuxuan picked up two baskets from the ground and effortlessly slung one over his back while holding one in his left hand. With his other hand, he held the little hand of his beloved girl as they walked side by side toward the direction of the Zi Family.
Time rushed by, and along the way, they discovered many valuable herbs or exquisite ingredients.
Gu Yuxuan tightened his grip on Ziyan's hand, preventing her from picking anything more. He knew that once she stopped, she would never want to continue.
As it was getting darker, he needed to quickly ensure her safe return; they could come back another time for gathering.
Ziyan pouted her lips in reluctance as her hand was pulled painfully tight. While being led forward against her will, she turned back to remember the specific locations of those treasures. In her heart, she planned to come back next time and take them all away.
