Chapter 1309: Two People Meet

Yang Nuolan, who had regained her memories, had a very complicated mood.

On one hand, life was beginning to gradually become mundane.

On the other hand, there was that machine that she could not let go of resentment toward.

Yang Fan's last words were to remind her that Yunxiao was already a thing of the past, and the present Yunxiao was a new life entity.

He had his own family, his own lover, his own children, and his own pursuits.

His life had no place for you, and neither did his future.

It's time to let go; you're this old, don't get involved in pointless things.

Yang Nuolan understood the meaning, but regarding Yunxiao and Yang Qing, she was not as calm as she seemed.

The old man's actions, even if meant for her good, were a kind of cruelty to her.

She had prepared herself mentally to start over, and she was indeed doing so.

It was the old man who interfered, making things complicated.

The sudden appearance of memories made Yunxiao's image exceptionally clear in her mind.

The life she had built over these years was almost destroyed in an instant.

She hadn't even settled the score with him, yet he ran away.

She didn't want to see Yang Qing, so she just slipped away silently.

She wanted Yang Qing to continue existing, watching her live well.

This was something she had long considered, even having conspired with Yunxiao for a long time.

Now you've run away!

Others could give up, but she would not.

After saying goodbye to Chen Hong and the others, Yang Nuolan resolutely came to Gangdao.

And according to the information, she found Yunxiao's residence.

It was an ordinary large flat.

It was not as luxurious as she had imagined.

I don't know if this is something Yunxiao and the old man learned, but they don't overly pursue material life.

She recalled the old man often swaying about in clothes that cost only a few dozen yuan.

Even so, he often attracted the sticky attentions of Grandma Yu Li next door.

She nervously pressed the doorbell.

Soon, a figure projected onto the door—a woman.

Yang Nuolan guessed it was Yunxiao's woman.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Nowadays, who still rings the doorbell? Everyone is directly linked by thought; who still uses such primitive things?"

He Miao Miao curiously sized up the woman outside the door.

Yang Nuolan forced out a smile.

Originally she felt she should be able to face it calmly, but the reality was that she still hadn't let go.

"Hello, Mrs. Yun, I'm looking for Yunxiao."

He Miao Miao felt a bit panicked, not knowing why.

"Just wait a moment, I'll go get someone."

Her intuition told her that the woman outside was out of the ordinary.

"Yunxiao, someone is outside looking for you."

Yunxiao came over upon hearing the commotion.

"Who is it?"

He Miao Miao gestured outward.

Yunxiao approached the door with doubt, and upon seeing Yang Nuolan, he froze for a moment.

He exclaimed in surprise.

"Is it you?"

Yang Nuolan looked at Yunxiao, her heart filled with complicated, unfathomable feelings.

"Damn, isn't this just a copy of the old man?"

The turn of events really played a huge joke on her.

Her former partner actually looked like her own grandfather.

Suddenly she felt that the world was so absurd.

"Is this the reason you sealed my memories?"

"Did you already know this?"

She voiced a silent accusation in her heart.

At that moment, Yunxiao opened the door.

Yang Nuolan hesitated with a complex expression, then finally stepped inside.

"Seeing me, are you very surprised?"

She looked at him, feeling wronged.

She wanted to ask him why he used Yang Qing's genes.

Yunxiao was also embarrassed.

"It's a bit surprising."

The surging stream of memories also slammed into her.

Including those years and all the little moments with Yunxiao.

He Miao Miao could see that there were many stories between the two.

She grew even more anxious, feeling as if Yunxiao might leave her at any moment.

Even though she had long been mentally prepared, when the moment arrived it still hurt that much.

She forced down the bitterness in her heart and voluntarily took on the responsibilities of her own wife.

"Come in, sit quickly, and tell me what's on your mind while you sit."

She led the person to the living room, and He Miao Miao went to prepare tea and fruit.

After the items were ready, she politely left.

She left the space for the two of them.

The two who had been silent until now finally spoke.

Yang Nuolan looked toward where He Miao Miao had left and sighed.

"She's quite good."

At least she wouldn't do these.

Yunxiao also looked toward where He Miao Miao had left.

"Indeed, it's hard nowadays to find someone like her who devotes her body and soul to family and a man."

Yunxiao's words sounded as if he were telling Yang Nuolan that he was no longer the Yunxiao of old; now he liked a woman like He Miao Miao.

Yang Nuolan still understood the subtext.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to steal anyone; you're not worth stealing for either."

"I came only to ask you about my grandfather's matter."

"He disappeared; none of us could find him."

Yang Qing disappeared?

Yunxiao frowned, as if it were impossible.

"How could that be? Could he still move? How did he disappear?"

Yang Nuolan: "We don't know how he managed it."

"So you suspect me of hiding him?"

Yang Nuolan looked at him with that very expression.

"Back then you cloned him and hid him well; no one knew where you were."

"That inevitably makes me suspect that this is all your handiwork."

Yunxiao stood up and paced back and forth in the living room.

"Perhaps he isn't hiding from you, but from me."

"What?"

Yang Nuolan suddenly stood up; the matter seemed not as she had imagined.

Yunxiao no longer concealed anything at this point.

"I, or the former Yunxiao, had an agreement with Yang Qing."

"If in the future humans and the Mechanical race develop an irreconcilable conflict."

"He hopes the Mechanical race will not exterminate humanity."

"He once painted a grand picture for that Yunxiao, saying that beyond the Solar System there is a wider space for the Mechanical race to expand."

"He hopes the Mechanical race, seeing humans as their creators, will leave the Solar System to humanity."

"But in reality humans seem to have many ways out, and the Mechanical race has not gained any advantage yet."

"Now I think I am already human, and it's no longer appropriate for me to do such things."

"So I intend to let him achieve this goal on his own."

"During this period I have been tracking his location."

"But it seems Yang Qing is more cunning than we imagined."

Yang Nuolan hadn't expected such a thing.

"Yunxiao's nerve is truly bold, daring to scheme against Yang Qing."

"Aren't you afraid of the Yang Family's retaliation?"

Yunxiao did not answer directly.

"I was once inseparable from the old man; many of the Yang Family's vast enterprises bear my mark."

"Before Yang Qing revoked my permission, I still held considerable influence within the Yang Family."
