in the room.
Xue Ji told Gu Qianbei about her life in this life.
Just as Gu Qianbei knew, she was born into the Yagyu family in Japan and was the eldest daughter of the Yagyu family. She was doted on by her father, Yagyu Tajima-no-kami, from a young age.
Therefore, she lived a very happy life for the first twenty years.
As Gu Qianbei listened to Xue Ji's story, he gradually began to see the girl in the white dress in front of him as Ah Fang.
It looks real, but there's an unreal quality to it.
"Mr. Gu, do you, like me, still remember your past life?"
Yuki asked again, wanting to confirm.
"Memories of a past life? You could say that. But I didn't expect you to remember them too."
"Perhaps it's because I never saw Mr. Gu again in my past life and never married, that I've retained this obsession."
"But Mr. Gu is exactly the same as in my dream, unchanged. Neither his appearance nor his scent has changed."
Xue Ji twitched her nose slightly, as if trying to inhale all the scent on Gu Qianbei's body into her nasal cavity.
This behavior looks somewhat strange.
"Well... after all, it's something from a past life, so you don't need to take it to heart."
Judging from your current appearance, you must be living a good life.
Let's just forget those unpleasant memories from our past lives.
"No! Although most of those memories were not pleasant, the memories of meeting you, Mr. Gu, are the most beautiful of all."
You didn't accept me back then, and you never came back.
But this time, I will definitely not give up on you!
Xue Ji's sincere expression gave Gu Qianbei a headache.
Sure enough, I can't drink the Yellow Millet Dream anymore; it only brings new trouble each time.
and many more.
Why did I reject Yukihime?
She has the looks, the martial arts skills, the personality, the figure, and the sincerity. Don't you like her?
It does not seem.
I really like myself.
Looking at the pitiful young girl in front of him, Gu Qianbei suddenly had a thought.
"Well, actually I'm a very fickle person. I can't be monogamous for life."
"What does it matter? In Japan, men can marry many wives."
Even in the Ming Dynasty, there were many women who married a man.
If you're worried about not having enough money, I have money, I can pay for it!
Yukihime said with a serious expression.
Gu Qianbei was deeply shocked.
That works too.
No, why doesn't it work?
That's just how the world is.
"I don't need money, I'm actually quite wealthy."
Gu Qianbei is indeed not poor now.
With so many Qianchoushi stores, the daily profits are extremely high.
He may not be the richest man in the country now, but he is certainly a wealthy man.
"Then I can give you money too. You can never have too much money."
Yukihime still looked serious.
Well, this kind of rich girl behavior is really hard to resist.
Gu Qianbei took a deep breath and laughed, "It seems you've truly become rich in this life."
The little girl who sold ice cream back then is now a wealthy heiress.
But how did you find your way here?
Gu Qianbei changed the subject, and Xue Ji didn't seem to mind.
All she wants to do right now is chat with Gu Qianbei, about anything is fine.
"Ever since I remembered my past life, I've wanted to find you."
The man who came with me was named Duan Tianya. He pretended to be a Japanese and was learning martial arts in Japan.
I know him, so I asked him about you.
He's very well-informed and found out about you in no time.
Based on that information, he brought me to find you.
I didn't expect it to go so smoothly this time.
Gu Qianbei suddenly realized what he meant.
If that's the case, then I've stolen Brother Tianya's place.
What a sin!
However, Xue Ji following Duan Tianya and dying young was not a good thing. It would have been better to break up the marriage, at least she survived.
Well, then I guess I did a good deed.
But looking at Duan Tianya just now, he clearly had the expression of a heartbroken young man, and he looked miserable.
Well, it's better than Yukihime dying.
"Mr. Gu, may I stay here from now on?"
Xue Ji looked at Gu Qianbei with anticipation.
"It's possible. But are you sure you can stay here indefinitely?"
"Isn't your father looking for you?"
Gu Qianbei asked.
Upon hearing this, Yukihime fell silent.
Her trip to the Ming Dynasty was, in a sense, a departure from home.
His father must have already sent someone to find him by now.
If my father were to come to us in person, it would undoubtedly be a huge problem.
She didn't want to see her father and Gu Qianbei fight; that would put her in a difficult position.
"Mr. Gu, I will resolve this issue."
Yukihime said with a determined look.
"I'm afraid this matter won't be easy to resolve."
Why?
Yukihime didn't understand.
Although his father was somewhat old-fashioned, Gu Qianbei was so outstanding that he had no reason to disagree.
"It's a bit complicated. Do you know who the person who came with you is?"
Gu Qianbei said.
"Duan Tianya."
"It's not a name, it's an identity. He is the adopted son of Zhu Wushi, the Iron-Blooded Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, and also the head of the four secret agents he trained himself."
When he returns from his studies in Japan, he will be the heir to the Dragon Guard Manor.
Zhu Wushi had already set his sights on the power of Japan.
During the time Duan Tianya was studying in Japan, he sent out many people.
On the surface, he is in contact with Duan Tianya, but in reality, he is trying to win over the forces in Japan that are willing to submit to him.
And your father, Yagyu Tajima-no-kami, was one of those who surrendered.
If nothing unexpected happens, Zhu Wushi will definitely rebel in the future, and your father will inevitably be involved.
And you will become a gift your father presents to Zhu Wushi.
Of course, it's not Zhu Wushi who will marry you, but Duan Tianya.
Zhu Wushi has neither a wife nor a son. Duan Tianya is his recognized successor. If you marry Duan Tianya, it will be a marriage alliance between the two major powers.
This was something that Yagyu Tajima-no-kami was very happy to see, but he couldn't express it explicitly.
If you come here, your father will go mad.
Because this would ruin his entire plan.
Therefore, it's unrealistic for you to want to stay here.
Gu Qianbei finished speaking in one breath, and Xue Ji's eyes widened immediately.
and many more.
This is way too complicated!
How did it suddenly turn out like this?
"So, I've already become a pawn in their game?"
Yukihime exclaimed in shock.
"That's right. Even if it isn't now, it will be sooner or later."
Gu Qianbei said softly.
In his view, the fact that Yukihime was supposed to die in the original story was entirely due to Yagyu Tajima-no-kami's mishap.
Yagyu Tajima-no-kami never expected that Yukihime would go to such lengths for Duan Tianya.
Of course, it's also possible that Zhu Wushi hadn't yet recruited Yagyu Tajima-no-kami at that time, which led to a dead end.
Regardless of the reason, Yagyu Tajima-no-kami would not allow Yukihime to stay here.
Gu Qianbei was certain of this.
