In Country A, the public opinion surrounding Ling Yan's murder case gradually subsided under the management of Gu's crisis management team.

Gu Weiwei was confined to the laboratory for a few days to recuperate, and then she was taken to conduct another experiment.

After this experiment, she slept for a day and a night, and when she woke up, only Gu Siting was by her bedside.

She stared blankly at the person sitting by the bed for a long time before calling out in confusion.

"Brother Siting, what are you doing here?"

Gu Siting looked at the person sitting on the bed in surprise when he heard this long-unheard address.

She has...has she forgotten everything that happened in China and only remembers the time when she was still living in the Gu family?

Otherwise, she wouldn't have called him that, and she wouldn't have looked at him with that expression.

"Are you... feeling unwell?"

Gu Weiwei rubbed her forehead. "I have a bit of a headache."

Gu Siting picked up the painkillers and water from the table and handed them over, saying...

"Painkillers will help."

Gu Weiwei paused for a moment before taking the food and eating it, looking at him strangely.

"Weren't you... going to New York on a business trip?"

Gu Siting thought for a while and suddenly remembered that it was a year before she was murdered, when she returned from Shengxi City and they had a brief encounter at home.

He said he was going to New York on a business trip and left in a hurry.

It was the eve of his birthday; she had come back to celebrate with him, but he didn't return on his birthday.

When she returned, she had already left with Yuan Shuo and the others, leaving only a homemade cake in the refrigerator.

A few months later, news came that she had been assassinated. She was then hospitalized with serious injuries and eventually passed away after receiving a heart transplant thanks to Ling Yan.

After that year, he never celebrated his birthday again.

"Brother Si Ting?" Gu Weiwei called out when she saw his sudden realization.

Gu Siting snapped out of his reverie. "The meeting is postponed. I won't be going for now."

"Oh." Gu Weiwei nodded reluctantly, looked around and asked, "Where is my mother? She asked me to go to church with her for Mass today."

"She...she's already gone, saying you should rest at home if you're not feeling well." Gu Siting looked at the person who spoke, a surge of immense joy welling up inside him.

She's finally back; his Vivi is finally back.

"Oh." Gu Weiwei pursed her lips, looked at him and said, "You... you go about your business, I'll wait for Gu's mother to come back."

Gu Siting knew that their relationship had been distant for several years because he was bothered by his father's death.

That's why she was so surprised to see him, and why she spoke to him so carefully and distantly.

"It's okay, I'm not that busy."

Gu Weiwei sat on the bed, holding a water glass, and remained silent.

Gu Siting looked at the girl who was staring at the cup in silence, his throat tightening. That was how distant they had become back then.

Even when they bump into each other at home during holidays, they only exchange polite greetings and a few words. Then he gets busy with work, and she travels all over the world with Yuanmeng and the others, or she's filming movies and doesn't come back for months.

At that time, he had no idea that he would have to wait so many years and pay so much to make up for everything he had once disregarded.

Fortunately, he finally got her back, and everything was back to normal.

"Take a rest, we'll have dinner together in a bit."

Gu Weiwei was stunned, seemingly finding it hard to believe that he would make such a request.

“…Oh, okay.”
