The next day
Shen Yao bid farewell to Xia Chao, Ren Ling’er, and Mo Chen.
Ren Ling’er was returning to the Ren family, as her parents had been urging her to come back.
Mo Chen had to return to handle company affairs; the acquisition of the former Mo Corporation was something he needed to start dealing with.
Luo Yunping and Xue Zhu could handle other matters, but not company affairs.
Mo Chen reluctantly said goodbye to the two little ones and then said to Shen Yao, "Yao Yao Jie, when I get back, let's get married!"
As Mo Chen said this, his eyes twinkled, and his gaze towards Shen Yao was filled with deep affection.
"Okay! But marrying me won't be easy; you still need to show the proper attitude."
Shen Yao's words made Mo Chen overjoyed. He hadn't expected Shen Yao to agree so readily and thought she might refuse.
"Don't worry, I'll use all my assets as my betrothal gifts!" Mo Chen was already beaming with joy; how could he possibly disagree!
Let alone giving all his assets, even becoming a live-in son-in-law didn't seem impossible!
"Xiao Chen Zi, stop dreaming. Talk about it when you reach the legal age," Ren Ling’er interjected to dampen his spirits.
Mo Chen: ...
Shen Yao: What should I do? That inexplicable sense of guilt is back.
"That's right, Ling’er Jie makes a good point. There's no rush for marriage. We can talk about it after you've handled your company matters," Shen Yao said.
Shen Yao felt that marriage was indeed not urgent, but they could still get engaged first.
It was a bit strange; they already had children, and yet they weren't married and were only just getting engaged!
Mo Chen: I really want to gag Ren Ling’er!
"It won't take long. I'm not far from turning 22. We can follow the process first, and by the time everything is ready, it will be about time!" His 21st birthday had already passed, and he would be 22 in a little over half a year. He could wait!
"Alright, but let's be clear first. You'll have to get past my family's approval," Shen Yao said with a smile.
She felt a slight anticipation for living with Mo Chen in the future, especially under these circumstances.
"Alright, alright, stop dawdling and get on the plane," Ren Ling’er urged them again after hearing the boarding announcement.
Then she said to Shen Yao, "Don't worry, Yao Yao, I'll keep an eye on him for you. I absolutely won't let any flies buzz around him!"
Shen Yao couldn't help but laugh as she watched Ren Ling’er pat her chest and make a promise. "Okay, then I'll trouble Ling’er Jie."
Ren Ling’er waved her hand and walked towards the gate with her suitcase, leaving Mo Chen to walk away slowly, looking back repeatedly. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
The plane streaked across the sky, leaving a faint trail. Shen Yao then pushed the stroller and left with the little ones.
After returning home, Shen Yao felt a bit down. The Shen family didn't disturb her, taking the little ones away to let her have some alone time.
After a while, Shen Yao finally recovered.
Indeed, it was easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. In her previous life, she had lived alone in the cultivation world for nearly a thousand years, and she had never felt this way.
While she had time alone, Shen Yao finally entered her spatial dimension again.
Since returning to this world, although she used things from the dimension, she had rarely entered it, even though the spiritual energy within the dimension was tens of thousands of times stronger than outside!
Yet, she had consciously tried to separate herself from the cultivation world, while still having to rely on things from the dimension.
Upon entering the dimension, every cell in Shen Yao's body unconsciously absorbed the spiritual energy within.
Her entire being seemed to be sublimated, and the knot in her heart was untangled, the stone pressing on her heart was lifted.
Shen Yao meticulously inspected her dimension, looking at the familiar items. Many of them were rare not only in the real world but even in the cultivation world!
Suddenly, Shen Yao seemed to remember something, and she began to search for things within her dimension.
After a long time, a large pile of storage bags lay before her. Some of these storage bags were refined by her, while others were salvaged from… cough, no, they were recycled.
However, these storage rings had two characteristics: one was that they were bound to their owner and could not be removed unless she died, and the other was that they were too small and couldn't hold much. Most importantly, they couldn't store items without spiritual energy.
Heh, what a joke! In this modern world, what had spiritual energy!
Shen Yao gave up. She decided to refine some storage rings herself!
She had thought a lot just now. Although she was in an era of spiritual decline without much spiritual energy, her lifespan was incomparable to ordinary people. Especially now that her cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, her lifespan was as long as two hundred years!
But her relatives and friends still had their normal lifespans. Was she really going to watch them leave her one by one?
Shen Yao felt she couldn't do it. Therefore, she wanted to try, to see if she could defy fate!
She had Longevity Pills, which could extend lifespans, but that wouldn't work. Longevity Pills had to be taken once every five years, and after taking them three times, they became useless, meaning they could only extend lifespans by 15 years.
As for whether they could cultivate, that would depend on their luck. At least she had tried, hadn't she?
Shen Yao knew that everyone would eventually die, but who wouldn't want their relatives and friends to live long lives!
Shen Yao stayed in the dimension for three full days, but she only managed to find the necessary items. Her current abilities were so limited that she couldn't even forge anything.
After coming out of the dimension, Shen Yao's first action was to find Mama Shen. She hadn't seen the little ones for several days and missed them dearly.
Before Shen Yao reached the ground floor, she heard the two little ones start crying loudly as if they had sensed her.
"Wuwuwu..."
"Ahhhh, woo woo..."
Shen Yao quickly went downstairs and saw Mama Shen and Jiang Qingqing, each holding a crying little one.
"Little rascals, are you crying because you know your mom is coming down?" Mama Shen chuckled as she saw Shen Yao, then thought of her suddenly crying grandsons, and patted his little bottom.
"That must be it. They were just smiling and giggling at us, and as soon as they heard Mom coming down, they started crying. They really are born to her!"
Jiang Qingqing also said with a smile, then walked over and handed the little dumpling in her arms to Shen Yao. Mama Shen also walked over with Jiaozi.
Shen Yao reached out, taking one in each hand. It was true; the moment Shen Yao held them, the two little ones stopped crying.
The two little ones were twins. By rights, they should have looked very similar, but that wasn't the case. The two little ones not only differed in size but also in appearance.
Jiaozi had light yellow hair, indicating mixed heritage, exactly like Mo Chen's hair.
Tuanzi was different. Although Tuanzi's hair was slightly yellow when he was just born, it had already gradually turned black, but his eyes were amber.
