Early in the morning, Lei Ting got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. Looking at himself in the mirror, he saw that he was unshaven and unkempt. Lei Ting remembered Liao Qian's words and told him to make himself look more presentable.

Lei Ting looked much more handsome after showering and shaving. He styled his hair himself and looked quite dashing in his youthful Zhongshan suit. Liao Qian came to knock on the door next door with a gift. Lei Ting opened the door, and Liao Qian went into his grandparents' room, with Lei Ting following closely behind. Liao Qian put down the gift as soon as he saw his grandparents and immediately prepared to kowtow to them.

Liao Qian: "Master, kowtow to my master."

Lei Nai: "No need, no need, please sit down."

Liao Qian: "Master, you look so energetic! Have you adjusted to the time difference yet? Are you still feeling unwell?"

Grandma Lei: "I'm much better. How are you? You've been away for so many years and you never even think of coming home to visit."

Liao Qian: "Hehe, I've only been focused on making money! Master, you don't know, people here call me God Liao!"

Lei Nai: "Haha, you still have to flaunt these empty titles with me, Liao Qian, when will you grow up?"

Liao Qian: "Hehe, you become speechless when you see my master..."

Lei Nai: "Xiao Qian, why haven't you had a girlfriend all these years!"

Liao Qian: "My time hasn't come yet! Master, please don't mention me. Lei Ting, Lei Ting saw An Ning yesterday."

Lei Nai: "Master knows, the two groups of bodyguards almost came to blows."

Liao Qian: "What exactly is Master Lei Ting thinking?"

Lei Nai: "It was only after the fact that he realized An Ning was the most important person in his heart, and he asked An Ning for forgiveness."

Liao Qian: "This... although I was the one who brought An Ning and Lei Ting together, but... Master, you know... I..."

Grandma Lei: "Master knows how hard you've worked. Just do your best, and we'll leave the rest to fate."

Liao Qian: "That's great, Master! I'm so relieved to hear that. I was so worried..."

Lei Nai: "Liao Qian, take us to the courtyard. We're going to apologize to the An family..."

Liao Qian: "Huh? Master, didn't you say we should follow the will of Heaven?"

Grandma Lei: "Apologizing is in accordance with fate! Our whole family is here, and we'll all go and apologize to Anning."

Liao Qian: "I... Master... I... I have something to do, I'll be going now!"

Liao Qian ran off without looking back, pushing Lei Ting, who was standing in front of the door, so he stumbled. Grandma Lei knew that Liao Qian didn't dare to interfere and didn't say anything.

Thunder: "Grandma..."

Grandma Lei: "Shut up, your grandpa's taking a nap. Don't talk, go back to your room."

Lei Ting, stunned, could only go back to his room and lie down. He couldn't think of any other way to get close to An Ning except by lying down. Lei Ting cried himself to sleep as soon as he got back to the hotel. Half a year's worth of longing had been building up, and now that they could meet, they couldn't see each other. Wasn't this the result of his own actions? If he hadn't gotten involved with Jasmine in the first place, he should be living a happy and fulfilling life now. An Ning was already pregnant, and in a few months she would be a father. Lei Ting's dreams were filled with guilt towards An Ning and the child. No matter how much he apologized, it couldn't undo the hurt he had caused An Ning.

Liao Qian hurriedly returned to the courtyard, where he happened to run into An Yang who was coming out. An Yang quickly called out to him.

Anyang: "Brother Liao, you're all flustered because you were chased by a dog."

Liao Qian: "Ah! Anyang!"

An Yang: "Why are you so nervous! I'm not going to eat you..."

Liao Qian: "I... what's wrong with you..."

Anyang: "That heartless man is here. I beat him up yesterday, but I didn't get enough of him. You must know where he lives. Tell me, and I'll go beat him up again."

Liao Qian: "Did he see your sister? What was your family's attitude...?"

An Yang: "He had no attitude at all, just told him to leave quickly. I get angry whenever I see him. If I wasn't afraid my sister would find out yesterday, I would have given him a good beating."

Liao Qian: "Your sister saw him...didn't your sister say anything?"

An Yang: "My sister didn't talk to him. If I weren't here, he would definitely have gone to talk to my sister. What is this kid up to? I'll go ask him."

Liao Qian calmed himself down. The An family wasn't that heartless; he had been overthinking things. Liao Qian simply told An Yang where Lei Ting was staying. Based on his understanding of the An family, they wouldn't make things difficult for Lei Ting if things were amicable. It just so happened that his master wanted to apologize, so this was a good opportunity to meet the An family.

Liao Qian: "If you want to find him, go to the fountain hotel at the entrance! I have to go now."

Anyang: "Okay, thank you..."

Liao Qian got into the luxury car and left. Now that An Yang knew where Lei Ting was staying, it was much easier to find him. An Yang arrived at the hotel, and a waiter approached him solicitously. An Yang took out his phone to inquire about this person.

An Yang: "Do you even know how many rooms this person lives in...?"

Waiter: "We cannot disclose customer information."

Anyang: "Is 100 enough...?"

Waiter: "No..."

Anyang: "Five hundred..."

Waiter: "1010, this way to the elevator."

An Yang rolled her eyes at him, pressed the elevator button, and went to the tenth floor. She found Lei Ting's room.

Anyang: "1010...this...knock knock knock..."

Lei Ting was still asleep when he heard the knocking. He shouted that he didn't need the doorman's service. An Yang knocked again, and Lei Ting got up and opened the door. He was about to get angry when he saw that it was An Yang, and he immediately stood up straight.

An Yang glanced inside: "What, aren't you going to invite me in?"

Thunder: "Please come in..."

An Yang entered Lei Ting's room and carefully searched behind the curtains, but couldn't find his lover. Seeing Lei Ting dressed smartly, he was even more confused about what Lei Ting wanted. Lei Ting, on the other hand, stared blankly at him, ready to receive An Yang's punch at any moment.

An Yang: "Don't be so nervous. I came here today to ask you what you're here for."
