After going through countless hardships, Gu Yan finally succeeded in recovering the long-forgotten precious memory that belonged only to her. This exciting news undoubtedly became the most ecstatic thing Jiang Qitian had heard recently.

Because at this moment he is about to usher in a new identity - uncle!

The deep and passionate love for Gu Yan that he once had has slowly settled like quicksand under the erosion of the long river of time, and is deeply buried in the most secret corner of his heart.

On this day, Jiang Qitian, filled with joy, hurried from the distant Qingcheng to the bustling Jinghai, just to see with his own eyes the appearance of his adorable little nephew and niece.

However, fate always seems to like to play little jokes on him. When he stepped out of the cabin, he unexpectedly discovered that he had taken the wrong suitcase.

Just when Jiang Qitian was getting anxious and irritable, a pleasant cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.

After the call was connected, a soft and gentle female voice came from the other end: "Hello, sir, I'm so sorry, I accidentally took your suitcase by mistake. I wonder when it would be convenient for you to exchange it?"

Jiang Qitian, who was originally raging with rage and about to explode, was instantly suppressed by an inexplicable force after hearing the voice that sounded like the song of a nightingale. The raging anger in his heart instantly dissipated. After all, as a gentleman, he couldn't lose his composure easily.

So, after a brief communication, the two successfully agreed on the specific time and place to exchange the suitcases.

Time passed quietly. About fifteen minutes later, Jiang Qitian sat in the small shop in the airport filled with the rich aroma of coffee, patiently waiting for the arrival of the strange girl.

Just when he was bored, a beautiful figure suddenly entered his sight. The woman in front of him had a graceful figure and a pretty face. She was like a lively and agile little white rabbit, and she lightly jumped in front of Jiang Qitian.

"Jiang Qitian, it's really you!" A cry of surprise came. Jiang Qitian was about to respond when he suddenly heard a commotion behind him. Before he could react, he saw several burly, fleshy-faced men pounce from behind him like hungry tigers.

One of the big men shouted viciously: "Catch her, don't let her run away!" The sound exploded in the air like thunder.

Jiang Qitian was a little overwhelmed by this sudden change, and thought to himself: "Damn, what is going on? Why is someone chasing this girl here?" At this moment, the girl said to him anxiously: "Run, they are going to catch me!" As she said that, she pulled Jiang Qitian's arm without saying a word and ran away.

Jiang Qitian was dragged along by the girl, completely lost in thought, and didn't have time to ask why. However, after running less than a hundred meters, Jiang Qitian felt breathless and could no longer move forward. He suddenly broke free from the girl's hand and angrily demanded, "What are you doing? Why are you dragging me along with you?"

The girl pleaded helplessly, "Please, brother, now is not the time to explain. Let's get rid of these people first!" After that, without waiting for Jiang Qitian to answer, she turned around and continued to escape.

But how could Jiang Qitian let her get away so easily?

After all, his suitcase was still in her hands! It contained the gifts he had carefully prepared for the two children. If it was lost, it would be a big trouble.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qitian didn't care about anything else. He rushed forward, grabbed the girl's hand again, and pulled it back with force.

The girl was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground. However, she quickly regained her balance and turned back to glare at Jiang Qitian, saying, "Why are you like this?"

Jiang Qitian said angrily, "My suitcase is still with you. If you don't give it back to me, don't even think about me running around with you again!"

The girl glanced at the suitcase in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and seemed to have made a decision. She stuffed the suitcase into Jiang Qitian's arms, then turned around and ran in the other direction.

Jiang Qitian held the suitcase and looked at the girl's back as she walked away, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly saw a taxi slowly approaching not far ahead.

As if he had found a life-saving straw, Jiang Qitian strode towards the taxi, waving to the driver to stop and shouting, "Wait for us!"

Fortunately, the taxi driver noticed his action in time and stopped steadily on the side of the road.

Jiang Qitian quickly opened the car door and got in, shouting to the girl who had already run some distance away, "Get in the car!"

Upon hearing this, the girl ran towards the taxi without hesitation and finally jumped into the car successfully.

As the door closed, the taxi sped away, leaving the big men standing there, unable to catch up, and could only watch them disappear at the end of the street.

The two hurriedly got into the car, both breathing heavily, as if they had just experienced a life-or-death chase. The driver, sitting in the driver's seat, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. He jokingly said, "Hey! What's wrong with you two? Are you running away? You're so out of breath."

When the girl heard this, she was not shy at all. Instead, she responded openly, "That's right, driver! Our happiness is entirely in your hands!"

Jiang Qitian widened his eyes and secretly marveled in his heart, how could there be such a shameless woman in the world?

However, when the girl continued, "You really don't remember me? I'm Jiang Xiaolan, who lives next door to you. We even raised the national flag together before!"

At this time, Jiang Qitian began to recall some of the past, and the figure who once stood under the national flag with him emerged in his mind.

The car started slowly, time passed by minute by minute, and after about half an hour, we finally arrived at our destination.

The two of them got out of the car one after another, and Jiang Xiaolan reached for her phone to pay the fare. However, to her surprise, when she opened her phone, it showed that all the money in her account had been frozen!

He felt his pocket again and found that he didn't have a single piece of cash on him.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaolan was really in a dilemma. She looked at Jiang Qitian with embarrassment and helplessness. Her pitiful look made it hard for people to refuse her.

Jiang Qitian was not the kind of person who would haggle with girls, but the situation at this moment really made him feel a little amused and helpless.

Because just now, during the hasty escape, his phone seemed to have been lost at some point...

In the end, it was Jiang Qitian who called Gu Yan, and then Gu Yan drove to pick them up to resolve the embarrassing situation.

Because of this incident, Gu Yan and Jiang Xiaolan got to know each other, and later learned that the two were former classmates, and Gu Yan keenly noticed that the girl seemed to have a good impression of Xiaotian.

Time passed quickly, and finally the day arrived for Jiang Qitian to leave Jinghai. He dragged his suitcase and walked into the airport lobby with a slightly heavy step, his heart filled with longing for the future and a little sadness of parting.

After boarding the plane, Jiang Qitian found his seat and began to pack his luggage. Just then, a familiar figure caught his eye—it was Jiang Xiaolan again! A first encounter on a separate occasion could be considered accidental, and a second encounter on a plane could perhaps be explained as coincidence. However, this was already the third time he'd run into her, especially in such a unique setting, and Jiang Qitian couldn't help but wonder: What exactly was this woman trying to do?

When Jiang Xiaolan saw Jiang Qitian, a bright smile appeared on her face, as if there was a tacit understanding between them that others could not understand. She walked lightly to the empty seat next to Jiang Qitian and sat down, her big eyes shining as she stared straight at Jiang Qitian.

Jiang Qitian felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her. He frowned and asked, "What on earth do you want to do? Why do you always appear in front of me like a ghost?"

Facing Jiang Qitian's slightly questioning tone, Jiang Xiaolan didn't get angry at all. Instead, she responded with a smile that became even more intense: "Oh, Jiang Qitian, are you too stupid or am I too bad at expressing myself? In fact, I have liked you since we were in school. Isn't it fate that I can meet you again and again this time? Oh, and Sister Gu Yan also supports me in pursuing you!"

Hearing this, Jiang Qitian widened his eyes. He couldn't believe that there was such a shameless girl in the world.

But even though he felt a little disgusted, he couldn't think of any good way to drive Jiang Xiaolan away. In desperation, he could only choose to remain silent and try to ignore the overly enthusiastic woman beside him.

Days passed, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed. During these three months, Jiang Xiaolan had tried her best to get close to Jiang Qitian.

She would get up early every day to prepare a loving breakfast for Jiang Qitian; after work, she would always find various excuses to ask Jiang Qitian to have dinner, watch movies or go shopping together; she would even give him some small gifts from time to time... Unfortunately, no matter how hard Jiang Xiaolan tried, Jiang Qitian always kept a certain distance from her, and everything she did seemed unable to really touch Jiang Qitian's heart.

On that seemingly peaceful night, the moon was dark, the wind was high, and all was silent. Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared like a ghost and quickly approached Jiang Qitian. Before he could react, he was swept away by a powerful force.

This mysterious man in black neither coveted Jiang Qitian's wealth nor intended to take his life. However, the request he made was so bizarre - he wanted to see Jiang Xiaolan.

Unexpectedly, the person who carried out the kidnapping was none other than Gu Yihuai's nominal son Gu An.

Thinking back on that day, he was really lucky. He was miraculously rescued at the last moment when his life was at stake.

Unfortunately, since he was not Gu Yihuai's biological son, his life trajectory changed drastically from then on, as if he had fallen from the clouds to the mortal world.

The once favored child of heaven instantly became a speck of dust among the countless people.

After going through the hardships of the long years, Gu An always has an unshakable wish in his heart - to be able to depend on Jiang Xiaolan.

However, fate is so cruel that no matter how the world changes or how time passes, Jiang Xiaolan's heart eventually leans towards Jiang Qitian.

When Jiang Xiaolan received that thrilling phone call, she felt dizzy for a moment, as if the whole world was collapsing at that moment.

Fear and panic surged into her heart like a tide, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. In a panic, she ran as fast as she could towards the agreed location.

When she finally arrived at her destination, the scene before her horrified her. Gu An had already fallen into a frenzied state, holding a pistol tightly in his hand, the black muzzle of the gun pointed mercilessly at Jiang Qitian's head.

He roared at the top of his lungs, "Xiao Lan, as long as you're willing to say 'you're willing to be with me', I can give up everything, including my dignity, my obsession, and even my life! Of course, I will let him go!"

"Okay, as long as you don't hurt him, I'll agree to anything you ask!"

Jiang Xiaolan shouted at the top of her lungs. At this moment, at a critical moment of life and death, love was insignificant to her.

How could she possibly risk Jiang Qitian's precious life? That was definitely a burden she couldn't bear.

Jiang Qitian had unfortunately been drugged before, and his body completely lost the ability to resist, so he could only allow Gu An to manipulate and harm him.

However, when he opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Jiang Xiaolan's anxious and tear-stained face in his blurry vision, an indescribable warmth surged in his heart.

For some reason, his heart, which had long been as silent as ashes, began to tremble slightly, as if the long-dormant emotions were slowly awakening.

Finally, at the critical moment, the police arrived at the scene in time and successfully subdued the vicious Gu An.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaolan ran over without hesitation and hugged Jiang Qitian tightly, as if she was afraid that he would disappear if she let go, and then burst into tears.

"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have suffered this disaster. If it was really because of me that you lost your life, I will never be able to forgive myself in my life!"

Jiang Xiaolan sobbed and muttered to herself.

Fortunately, the final ending was satisfactory.

But after this thrilling event, Jiang Xiaolan deeply realized that love can sometimes make people so crazy and desperate.

Especially when she saw Gu An being so crazy about love that he lost his mind, she couldn't help but feel scared, afraid that one day she would fall into the same situation.

So, after careful consideration, Jiang Xiaolan resolutely made an important decision - to quit her current job.

Perhaps only by staying away from potential dangers and troubles can she truly protect herself and the people she cherishes around her.

Just when Jiang Qitian was about to give himself a chance and take that step bravely, he suddenly realized that Jiang Xiaolan had disappeared without a trace. This made Jiang Qitian panic and he looked for her everywhere, but he found nothing.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. During this time, Jiang Qitian had been missing Jiang Xiaolan, while Jiang Xiaolan was forced by her parents to attend one blind date after another. In fact, the last chance encounter with Jiang Qitian was a little episode that Jiang Xiaolan had carefully planned to avoid the blind date. However, at this moment, she could only sit helplessly in the cafe, waiting for the arrival of a new blind date with a gloomy face.

Just as Jiang Xiaolan was absentmindedly fiddling with the coffee cup in her hand, a pleasant voice suddenly came from the opposite side: "Ms. Jiang Xiaolan, I am very happy to have a blind date with you here. My name is Jiang Qitian. Maybe five hundred years ago, we were still a family!" Jiang Xiaolan suddenly raised her head, looked at the familiar face in front of her in disbelief, and said in surprise: "It's you, how come you are here?" Jiang Qitian smiled slightly, and replied slowly: "What do you think?" Some words do not need to be said directly, just reveal a little bit of your heart, and the other party will be able to understand the deep meaning.

Jiang Xiaolan's eyes flashed with doubt and uneasiness. She asked hesitantly, "Jiang Qitian, could it be that... you came here because you feel sorry for me?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qitian couldn't help but be slightly startled, then helplessly held his forehead and sighed softly: "I never joke about things like love, it's just that my reaction may be a little slower than others, so I hope you can give me a little more time and slowly teach me how to love."

Jiang Xiaolan's heart beat faster with excitement, and a smile as bright as a spring flower bloomed on her face. This was the first time in her life that she felt so deeply that God had blessed her.

She opened her arms with joy, and fluttered towards Jiang Qitian like a light butterfly, hugging his broad and warm body tightly.

"Okay! I will teach you slowly and attentively, so that you can deeply experience the wonderful taste of love and teach you how to truly love me!"

Jiang Xiaolan's voice was clear and melodious, like a nightingale singing, full of confidence and expectation.

Jiang Qitian was slightly taken aback at this moment, but he quickly responded to Jiang Xiaolan's warm embrace. Although the feelings between the two had not yet reached the level of intense and inseparable love, this warm moment undoubtedly opened a beautiful door to the story they wrote together.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows. The breeze gently blows their hair, and the world around them seems to become exceptionally peaceful and beautiful.

Time flies, and two years later came. On Jiang Xiaolan's birthday, Jiang Qitian carefully planned a grand proposal ceremony.

If his previous love for Gu Yan was the result of the beautiful and hazy feelings of his youth, then his love for Jiang Xiaolan was the result of years of precipitation and baptism.

He was very sure and certain that he loved Jiang Xiaolan. It turned out that when you love someone deeply, you wish that the other person would be with you day and night.

He thought, he finally had his own love.
