However, the daughter they raised for twenty years was whisked away by a big bad wolf without a word.
Helian Xi did not regret marrying Gu Jin Yan.
She just thought she was too immature.
She didn’t say anything to her family and acted impulsively.
"Xiao Xi, but it really hurts," Gu Jin Yan held her hand and looked at her pitifully.
"Serves you right!" Helian Xi said, not too kindly.
"Xiao Xi..." Gu Jin Yan looked even more pitiful.
"Just lie down for a couple of days after we go back," Helian Xi’s tone wasn’t great, but she was still concerned about Gu Jin Yan.

Three days later, Chinese Valentine’s Day.
It was also Lu Xingzhi’s twentieth birthday.
Today was a big birthday, and Huo Qiyuan had reminded Huo Jincheng days ago not to forget it.
The Huo Family was planning to throw a big birthday party for Lu Xingzhi.
Lu Xingzhi refused.
She knew they ant well, but it really wasn’t necessary to make such a fuss.
Besides, she didn’t like that kind of scene.
After she said that, the Huo Family insisted on hosting a birthday party for her at ho with just a few close friends and family, but it had to be a bit grand.
There was no choice, so Lu Xingzhi had to agree.
Actually, Huo Jincheng didn’t want it.
He wanted to celebrate with Lu Xingzhi one-on-one, but as long as Lu Xingzhi was happy, he was okay with it.
The lively atmosphere would also be more joyous.
When Lu Xingzhi got up in the morning, she was greeted with a steaming bowl of longevity noodles.
"Zhi Zhi, happy birthday!" Huo Jincheng placed the noodles on the table and gave her a kiss.
"Thank you!" Lu Xingzhi sat down, the noodles looked delicious and were probably very tasty.
After the first bite, Lu Xingzhi’s eyes lit up.
Uncle’s cooking skills were getting better and better, improving yet again.
Huo Jincheng’s noodle-cooking was top-notch, sothing he had been practicing since last year.
Although he didn’t necessarily need to cook, learning it wasn’t a bad idea.
Who knows, he might use it soday.
Of course, he specifically learned it for Lu Xingzhi.
Kneading and pulling the dough, he did it all himself.
The noodles were cooked in a chicken broth that had been simred for several hours.
The noodles fully absorbed the flavor of the chicken broth, with a scoop of homade at sauce, a poached egg, and a few green vegetables.
Although it seed simple to make, keeping the noodles uniform in thickness was quite difficult, and pulling the noodles required skill and strength.
Otherwise, the noodles would lack chewiness, and the taste would be off.
After finishing a bowl of noodles, Lu Xingzhi couldn’t help but say to Huo Jincheng, "Uncle, your noodles are getting more and more delicious."
She usually added chili sauce, but she didn’t this ti.
Yet it was really delicious.
"I know how to make other types of noodles too! Not just this one, I’ll cook for you in the future," Huo Jincheng was very pleased with Lu Xingzhi’s praise.
"Great! We have a lifeti anyway, no hurry," Lu Xingzhi stood up, looking at Huo Jincheng, "Uncle, you could give up being a domineering CEO and consider opening a restaurant instead."
"Then will you be the boss lady collecting money?" Huo Jincheng joked.
"Sure, I might stop doing concerts by then," Lu Xingzhi thought about it, and it seed quite nice.
"You don’t have the slightest bit of earthy aura," Huo Jincheng chuckled softly, Lu Xingzhi’s deanor was truly otherworldly.
Lu Xingzhi: "So, do you want to go to the civil affairs bureau with now?"
