At night, in Ma Xiaoling's bedroom.
Xiaoling looked at Zhen Zhen who was sleeping soundly and couldn't help but smile. However, she was thinking about what happened tonight. Jiang Yuan's words had indeed touched her a lot. She was indeed a little confused now. Just as she was thinking about it, she unexpectedly alarmed Zhen Zhen. Zhen Zhen turned around and saw Xiaoling who had not turned off the lights and was a little puzzled, so she asked,"Xiaoling, why aren't you sleeping yet?”
Xiaoling was a little embarrassed and did not answer. Instead, she said,"I'm sorry, Zhenzhen. I woke you up.”
Zhen Zhen shook her head." I'm fine. But why aren't you sleeping at this hour? Be careful that no one likes your figure!"”
"It's better if you change." Ma Xiaoling mumbled," Why aren't you sleeping now?”
"Chat! Let's talk about your life abroad. It seems that you haven't told me about it!”Wang Zhenzhen said with a smile.
Seeing the smile on Zhen Zhen's face, Ma Xiaoling couldn't bear to refuse Zhen Zhen's request. She slowly told her about what happened when she was studying in the United States. Zhen Zhen listened quietly, a loyal listener.

"Xiaoling, why did you reject him? Look at how good he is to you. He listens to you in everything. Aren't you tempted?”Zhen Zhen voiced her doubts after listening.
"Hehe…I'm not sure. Yes, the better he treats me, the more I dare not. You don't know, our exorcism Long Clan's Ma Clan's mantra has always been passed down to females, not males. Our Ma Clan's women are destined not to shed a single tear for a man in their entire lives, or else they will lose all their mana. How can I like him? How I want to laugh and cry with the person I love!”Ma Xiaoling said sadly.
"I see. That's indeed very difficult to deal with.”When Zhen Zhen heard this, she was also worried for her good friend.
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Sleep early!" Zhen Zhen comforted Ma Xiaoling.
Zhen Zhen saw Xiaoling sleeping quietly and took out her phone to send a text message. Sigh, I hope I can help them, but this seems to be very difficult to deal with!
" Xiaoling, Xiaoling..." The dignified voice woke Ma Xiaoling up.
"Aunt, what are you doing! You're in my dreams!" Ma Xiaoling looked around and realized that she was in her dream. Her great-aunt was right in front of her.
"Sigh, I just left you not long ago. If I didn't return to your dream this time, I really wouldn't have realized that there was a man in your dream! But I think I've seen him somewhere before!”Madana said to Ma Xiaoling as she sat on a floating cloud.
"You can't even dream about it! If they couldn't be together in reality, then they couldn't be together in their dreams either!”Ma Xiaoling suddenly shouted at Madana.
Madana was stunned, and a trace of pity flashed in her heart. Yes, the lives of the women of the Ma family were really bitter. However, it was their duty to not have any personal feelings. Madana thought of her unfilial niece and felt a sharp pain in her heart." Xiaoling, it's okay to think about it, but you can't forget your responsibility.”
Ma Xiaoling looked at Madana and suddenly felt like crying. Why? Why did everything turn out like this?
Madana saw that Xiaoling's face was not 'like', so she said,""Xiaoling…"
"Don't 'force' me, Grandaunt," Ma Xiaoling interrupted Madana. I know the duties of a Ma woman. If you say anything else, I'll cut an onion at a man and retire early. Alright, don't disturb my sleep. When are you coming back? You must have been out for a long time!"
Madana knew that she couldn't 'force' Xiaoling anymore, and a loving smile appeared on her face."En, I will be back very soon. You also know that entering a dream consumes a lot of spiritual power, so I won't say anything. Sleep well, I'm leaving!"
Ma Xiaoling watched Madana disappear before her eyes. Her heart was filled with bitterness, and she continued to sleep.
The next day, Wang Zhenzhen knew that there was nothing she could do to help Xiaoling, so she decided to go home.
At Jiajia Building, Ma Xiaoling sent Wang Zhenzhen back.
Just then, Xiao Jian returned." Xiaoling, Zhenzhen, good morning! Come in and sit." Xiao Jian said.
"Alright! Sorry to disturb you! Xiao Sword." Zhen Zhen immediately said. Ma Xiaoling opened her mouth but didn't say anything.
"Today is your future birthday.”Xiao Jian said.
"Oh, I know. Xiaoling and I have already prepared our birthday presents. As your brother, don't forget about Xiao Jian.”Zhen Zhen reminded him kindly.
"I'll go in and change my clothes first. You guys chat first.”With that, Xiao Jian walked into the bedroom.
Wang Zhenzhen and Xiaoling sat on the sofa and chatted. She found that Xiaoling was absent-minded and vague. He saw a sketchbook on the table and thought of what Resurrection had said before. He picked up the sketchbook and opened it.
It was a portrait of Xiaoling, but the first few were all portraits of her wearing a long white gauze dress from ancient times.
"Xiaoling, when did you wear ancient costumes?”Zhen Zhen asked Xiaoling as she looked at the picture of Xiaoling in ancient costume. "What is it? I didn't wear any ancient costumes!" Ma Xiaoling answered doubtfully.
"Here, look at this. You look so beautiful in ancient clothes. You seem to have an extraordinary temperament!”Wang Zhenzhen handed the sketchbook to Ma Xiaoling.
Ma Xiaoling slowly flipped through the pages, and the scenes from the past slowly appeared in front of her.
"It's her, the woman I saw in my dream.”Ma Xiaoling asked in surprise. At this moment, Xiaoling's eyes were filled with questions. What was the relationship between this woman and Xiao Jian?
"What are you two beauties talking about?" Xiao Jian said as he put on his clothes and came out.
"Nothing much. Xiaoling, Xiaoling?”Wang Zhenzhen called out to Xiaoling and found that Xiaoling was still looking at the sketchbook.
"Sorry, I was too engrossed in my thoughts.”Xiaoling closed the sketchbook and smiled gently. Seeing the smile on Xiaoling's face, Xiao Jian also smiled.
"Then I'll go prepare a gift for the future. What about you guys?”
"Xiaoling and I are going too. Goodbye, see you later." Zhen Zhen said. With that, he pulled Xiaoling and left.
Xiao Jian looked at the sketchbook that Xiao Ling had flipped through on the table, and an inexplicable smile flashed across his eyes.
"Brother, you're here! Have you met Master Miaoshan? It went very smoothly, right?" The future, who was sitting on the sofa and flipping through a magazine, saw Tian Chen coming home. There was an obvious smile on his face.
"Yes, I already know what I want to know!”Xiao Jian looked at the future." By the way, I met your father at Miaoshan's place yesterday.”
"Is that so? Has he not given up yet?" The smile on Future's face clearly diminished when he heard about his father.
"Uh, cheer up. Today is your birthday. Let's celebrate together later! I'll call everyone over to do a part for you.”Xiao Jian saw that the future was a little gloomy and changed the topic. "Here, a birthday present for you.”
" Thank you, brother!!!"
Ding dong... The doorbell rang and Xiao Jian opened the door. Tianyou's family, the general, Jia Jia, and Jin Zhongzhong's parents were standing outside.
"Look, everyone's here. Cheer up!”"Yes, I will. Why don't I see Zhenzhen?" When the future saw that Wang Zhenzhen did not look like her mother, a trace of disappointment appeared on her face.
"Oh, Zhenzhen went to Xiaoling's place to stay, but I asked them to come over together.”Xiao Jian noticed the disappointed expression on Future's face.
"Future, I heard that today is your birthday. happybirthdaytoyou!”Everyone went into the house to give their blessings to the future and gave the gifts they had prepared to the future.
Looking at everyone's actions, the future felt sour in his heart. A trace of tears flowed down his face. How many years had it been? He could not remember. It had been a long time since someone had celebrated his birthday. How many times had he spent his birthday alone?
"Future, why are you crying? Were these gifts too shabby?”A'Xiu saw the future crying and tried to persuade her.
"No, it's not... He was just too happy. Thank you, everyone!" The future quickly explained and held the gift in his hand.
"Happy birthday, future! I bought you a cake!" Wang Zhenzhen came in with a cake and Ma Xiaoling.
"Thank you!" Other than Xiaoling, who was talking to the future, the other women were busy with the birthday banquet in the kitchen. Xiao Jian, Tianyou, and the others sat on the sofa to accompany the future.
When the banquet started, Ken also came over. He wanted to say something in the future. Tian Chen smiled and patted Kende's shoulder." I don't want to interfere too much in your business. You two can talk about it after the banquet. Now, have a happy birthday!"”A smile appeared on Ken's cold face.
"Future, this is a gift from your father.”After the dinner, Ken asked Future to go out.
"Zhen Wu, can't you return to my side?”Future Lu sneered and didn't accept the gift.
"I'm sorry, my current name is Ken. Boss said I don't need that name anymore!”Ken replied expressionlessly. "Hmph, why? Why did everything change…" The future roared at Ken.
"I'm sorry for the future. Perhaps one day, you'll understand.”Ken looked at the future with a pained expression and turned to leave. " True Enlightenment " Mirai looked at Ken's back as he left silently and called his name weakly.
