"Why not the 16th?" He Ximei glanced, "You can stay at home for a few more days, and then I can also prepare well here."
"I have no problem," Xiaofeng said, shifting her gaze towards Xiaonian and the other person.
"We’re on summer vacation too, so definitely no problem," Xiaonian chuckled, "Honestly, I’d rather stay here longer. It’s so much fun here, compared to the Imperial Capital, which is boring to death, with nowhere fun at all."
"I have no objections either," Xiaoyan for once did not contradict Xiaonian.
"Alright, then I’ll keep you here for a few more days, but following me won’t be leisurely, as we’ll need to go to the factory in the coming days." When Xiaofeng returned home, she obviously couldn’t just idle around.
The factory was ultimately hers, and since she was home, it was impossible not to keep an eye on it.
Moreover, her older brother was also getting no younger, and she needed to give him a few days off to rest.
After the recent quality incident, Factory Manager Zhou added a few more conditions for the packaging of products leaving the factory, further standardizing the finished products to ensure the quality reached the distributors.
In the evening, Xiaofeng lay on her bed and entered the space.
Lately, she had less time to enter the space, firstly because Xiaonian was always by her side, giving her no opportunity. Secondly, Xiaoqi had recently been busy with something and rarely made his presence felt around her.
"Xiaoqi, what have you been busy with recently?" Xiaofeng sat in the space, munching on the fruits there, feeling relaxed.
"Master," Xiaoqi was unhappy, "I’ve discovered something strange."
"There is a soul that has been lingering outside our space, as if it wants to come in." Xiaoqi had only glanced once that day, but it had startled him.
If they let the other party into the space, the master would be in trouble.
Hearing Xiaoqi’s words, Xiaofeng almost choked herself, "Really?"
"Really, I definitely felt it, but the other party lingered nearby for only a short time."
"Could it be the original owner?" Xiaofeng had always felt that the original owner might return someday, and now Xiaoqi’s words made her feel even more so.
"I can’t rule out that possibility." Xiaoqi was also uncertain, "Master, what will you do if the original owner comes back?"
"It seems like it’s not something I can choose, just like I didn’t choose to come here initially." She had not chosen to come to this world.
Similarly, if the original owner returns and wants her to leave this world, it would also not be her choice.
"That seems true," Xiaoqi nodded, "Master, speaking of which, you’re quite pitiful. Think about it, you’ve given birth to children and found a good man. But if the original owner comes back, all of that will have nothing to do with you."
Xiaoqi was being realistic in his words; being just an elf, he didn’t know which words were pleasant and which were not.
"What can I do then? The body is hers, the children are hers, the parents are hers. I am just a strand of the soul. To put it harshly, being able to be significant in the original owner’s body is my good fortune. If it weren’t for the original owner allowing me to be reborn, who knows where my soul would be now."
"But Master, if you really do leave, I will be very unaccustomed," Xiaoqi was a bit worried, "Moreover, the original owner’s temperament is nothing like yours. If she comes back, everything might change again."
"Xiaoqi, talking makes me feel all jittery," Xiaofeng did not want to continue this topic. If the original owner did come back, she would have to leave directly.
Thinking of having to leave this world and her adorable children and her aloof man, she felt deeply reluctant.
Leaving the space, Xiaofeng’s mood was unsettled.
Xiaoqi speaking this way now meant there was definitely a possibility.
That is to say, she must be ready to leave this body at any time.
The body was originally someone else’s; if the owner wanted it back, she had no grounds to refuse.
All she could do now was, before the original owner returned, to turn the life she wanted to live, or those imagined lives, into reality as soon as possible.
The factory had already started growing, and financially she was temporarily well-off. Next, if she were to expand, she should venture into projects popular in the 21st century.
For instance, technology.
In terms of technology, Lele’s group had already invited her, and as long as she was interested, she could invest.
