Gu Qingyao snuggled her head against his chest and said, “You've waited for me for so long. We planned on getting married this year, but I'll need at least two to three years before I can return. Of course I'm not willing to leave you here alone.

“Furthermore…” Gu Qingyao paused.

“We've wasted so much time in our previous life. Actually… I was the reason why it happened. I was overly sensitive and couldn't see the reality.”

Honestly speaking, Mo Beihan did not do anything to hurt her in their previous life. He even saved her. But some scars continued to remain in her heart even after the incident.

Mo Beihan waited for her for so many years, and eventually, they were both killed by the car accident caused by Bai Youran.

Mo Beihan frowned. He embraced her tighter and stared at her with a serious face, “I have never blamed you, Yao Yao. You were still young and immature and scared of me. That was why you changed. You were mostly affected by the curses spat by others and the attacks on the Gu family. That was the reason why you broke down.

“How old were you back then? Fifteen? You were always cautious because of the Gu family. And it's normal that you were scared and guilt-ridden after such a disaster happening to the family.”

From an outsider's perspective, everyone would blame Gu Qingyao. Nothing serious happened, and he even saved her, so how could she not be able to recover from the trauma?

Yet Mo Beihan had never blamed her. From his own point of view, what caused the mental breakdown wasn't the incident itself but the gossiping right after.

In such a conservative era, it was normal that an obedient teenage girl could not take such mudslinging.

So he never blamed her and instead took care of her and pampered her.

Gu Qingyao did not insist on that anymore. She just hugged him tightly and said, “To be honest, after hearing what you said, I have a stronger feeling of wanting to get the marriage certificate with you now.”

Mo Beihan was stunned. “Why?”

“Such a good man! What if someone took you away in the future?”

“A man who can be easily taken away is not a good man!”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

She felt elated and didn't know what to say, so she just rubbed her head against his chest.

“Mo Beihan, wait for me to come back. I will marry you when I'm back, and we will have many babies!”

Mo Beihan was delighted to hear that.

Soon, it had reached the middle of March and was time for her to leave. Gu Qingyao left two hundred thousand yuan cash to Mo Beihan and boarded the plane to France.

Mo Beihan did not reject the money.

Though he did not need the money, he still accepted to prevent her from feeling more guilty.

He would not be that free after going to the Mo family. It would be impossible for him to go hunting in his free time. He still needed to deal with Jiang Hongying and her son. He definitely needed money.

Yao Yao would be worried if he did not take the money.

Gu Qingyao held the old marriage certificate that belonged to her parents. She was determined to look for her mother even if she had to travel everywhere in the world.

Mo Beihan had also found a house for Jiang Yingqiu. It was one of the houses that Gu Qingyao selected. It had a small yard; a traditional courtyard house. There were enough rooms if all the children came back.

After settling everything, he brought the four children to the Mo family.
