Quan Shaoqing rubbed the top of her head with his large palm.

"You’ve just woken up. Aunt Jing got you a month’s leave. You can rest assured and take a break. This time you saved everyone, and everybody is very grateful to you. Wife, you’re truly amazing!"

Gu Xiaoxi thought for a moment. Her memory of the last part, the part about saving people, was very vague.

Although vague, that doesn’t mean nonexistent.

She knew that person was Lan Xi, and this wasn’t their first encounter, so she wasn’t a stranger.

A lot had happened over the years.

Mi Xi took her and revealed some things about the past.

In fact, she was also very curious about what she had been like in her past life, or even earlier.

"Alright, after sleeping for so many days, you must be hungry. Let’s go eat something together," Quan Shaoqing took Gu Xiaoxi’s hand, leading her towards the dining table.

Quan Jinling immediately followed with joy, his small eyes becoming lost in a blissful smile.

Under Quan Shaoqing’s supervision,

Gu Xiaoxi began her half-month-long vacation.

During this half-month, Quan Shaoqing didn’t work either. He devoted his time to accompany her.

And they were also discussing wedding plans.

Later, Quan Gui returned as well.

Gu Xiaoxi, together with her child, visited her mother-in-law’s home with Quan Shaoqing.

At the same time, the family discussed the wedding.

Gu Xiaoxi felt that this time, she wouldn’t miss out again.

Eventually, the wedding was set for the sixteenth of next month.

By then, all relatives and friends would be invited to the wedding.

Meanwhile, Quan Shaoqing also disclosed this news to the media.

Before this, nobody in Huaxia had any idea who Gu Xiaoxi was.

When the news broke out, many girls who were strong supporters of Quan Shaoqing instantly felt their hearts shatter.

The media began to dig deep into Gu Xiaoxi’s background and social status.

The public unanimously regarded Gu Xiaoxi as a nobody, questioning how she deserved to be the General’s Wife.

Lately, the International Alliance sent an official congratulatory letter, revealing Gu Xiaoxi’s true identity.

At that moment, the nation was in uproar, pouring in blessings.

No one dared to call Gu Xiaoxi a nobody any longer.

The comrades who had fought alongside Gu Xiaoxi learned of the news and sent their blessings as well.

Even those who had once looked down on Gu Xiaoxi no longer dared to regard her with the same ordinary gaze.

She was the only person in Liuli Country to be acknowledged by the International Alliance.

Moreover, many from the International Alliance took the initiative to tag Quan Shaoqing in the forums, expressing their wish to be invited to the wedding.

Although Gu Xiaoxi was on a month’s leave, the International Alliance hadn’t forgotten her.

For the Snow Country incident, the International Alliance promised to give Liuli Country a blank paper document with an official seal. From now on, Liuli Country could make whatever requests they wanted to the International Alliance.

The mission rewards had already been distributed, but the other members didn’t take a single penny.

This mission turned out that everyone had not been of much help. Instead, they had caused quite a bit of trouble for Gu Xiaoxi and the others.

It had been Gu Xiaoxi who had saved everyone.

Ya and Quan Shaoqing were the real heroes of this mission.

Therefore, the reward money was rightfully Gu Xiaoxi’s to command.

During her month’s rest, Gu Xiaoxi savored the sensation of being highly esteemed.

Every morning when she opened her eyes, she could see Quan Shaoqing’s familiar face.

No longer were the times when they were apart more often than together.

Quan Shaoqing’s month-long vacation for her came to an end all too swiftly.

On the day she was to return to the International Alliance, Quan Shaoqing personally escorted her back.

There, the assembly hall of the International Alliance was already filled with people gathered to welcome Gu Xiaoxi’s return.

Leading the way were her team members and Jing Rui among others. There were also others who Gu Xiaoxi had rescued from the Barrier.

They had organized themselves, fifty or sixty people, all at the entrance of the International Alliance to greet Gu Xiaoxi.

Huo Jin and his subordinates were present as well.

Seeing this, Gu Xiaoxi smiled at Quan Shaoqing, "Alright, you can go back now! I’ll call you once I’ve dealt with things here."

Quan Shaoqing nodded, his face full of indulgence, "I’ll come to keep you company tonight."

Gu Xiaoxi smiled merrily. Now that their marriage was public, the whole world knew Quan Shaoqing was busy accompanying her.

So, there was nothing to be secretive about.

After Quan Shaoqing left, Gu Xiaoxi strode confidently towards the people who had come to welcome her.

"Welcome back!" Jing Rui led everyone in giving her a military salute.

Gu Xiaoxi returned the salute, smilingly, "I’m sorry to have everyone come to receive me."

"No need to apologize, this is what we should do," Huo Jin rushed to say, his manner becoming instantly respectful.

Gu Xiaoxi shot him a teasing glance, "I didn’t expect you to come too. I’m truly honored."

"It was my immaturity before, I hope Miss Gu can overlook it," Huo Jin quickly said with an appeasing smile.

Gu Xiaoxi chuckled softly.

She preferred others to be impressed and admit her strength rather than to resort to killing.

"Fair enough! I won’t offend if I’m not offended. Let’s all coexist peacefully," Gu Xiaoxi spoke in a light tone.

Beyond receiving accolades, Gu Xiaoxi had to report on her mission upon her return.

After going through various tedious commendation meetings, she was finally able to relax and return to her office.

Clearly, her office had been isolated and went through some renovations.

Standing in the most luxurious and renowned studio,

Gu Xiaoxi sat in the boss’s chair, feeling not too happy.

Little Phoenix had appeared, and he went after the Nascent Soul. Whether he had caught up or not, the result was yet unknown.
