Upon hearing this, Nangong Yu paused, put down the comb, and looked at Song Yuli with some guilt.

"sorry."

Upon hearing these three words, Song Yuli frowned slightly. She stood up and looked at Nangong Yu with confusion: "Why the sudden apology?"

Nangong Yu pursed his lips and said, "My assistant just called me. There's a problem at the company, and they need me to go back."

He's been agonizing over this for a while now.

Not long ago, he told Song Yuli that he would always stay with her, but now...

The Quanyu Group is the culmination of generations of hard work by the Nan family, and he cannot allow it to go wrong in his hands.

After hearing this, Song Yuli pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and remained silent.

Seeing this, Nangong Yu thought she was unhappy, and felt even more guilty.

"I'm so sorry."

Upon hearing those three words again, Song Yuli raised his head, tugged at the corner of his lips, and shook his head at him: "You don't need to apologize. I understand you. If I were you, I would also choose to go back."

Nangong Yu pursed his lips and stared intently at Song Yuli.

Their eyes met, and Song Yuli looked away shyly, asking, "When are you leaving?"

Nangong Yu replied in a deep voice, "The flight is at 8:30 tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Song Yuli felt a deep sense of reluctance: "So early?"

Nangong Yu pursed his lips and remained silent.

Song Yuli hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Will you be able to come back when I take the college entrance exam?"

Nangong Yu nodded, reached out and patted Song Yuli's head, his expression softening slightly.

"I will come back. Don't forget, I promised my uncle that I would marry you after you finish your college entrance exam."

Upon hearing this, Song Yuli blushed.

Although I felt a little embarrassed, I felt a sweet warmth in my heart.

When Song Yuli opened his eyes in the early morning, Nangong Yu had already left.

Looking at the empty space around him, Song Yuli felt a sense of loss.

After getting dressed and tidying herself up, she took her schoolbag and went to the kitchen.

"Sis, that guy...brother-in-law is gone?"

Originally, Song Yuhao was going to say "that wild man," but under Song Demin's dangerous gaze, he changed it to "brother-in-law."

Song Yuli nodded somewhat absentmindedly.

Upon seeing this, Song Yuhao's eyes lit up.

Will he come back?

Song Yuli bit her chopsticks and said, "He said he would come back."

Song Yuhao pouted in disappointment after hearing this.

I thought the other man wouldn't come back; what a disappointment.

After finishing their meal, Song Yuli and Song Yuhao left the house together.

Song Yuli's school is located in the north, while Song Yuhao's school is located in the south.

Normally, the two would go their separate ways after leaving the residential area, but today, Song Yuhao insisted on seeing Song Yuli off to school.

"I know the way to the school, why should I ask you to take me?"

Song Yuli looked at Song Yuhao with dissatisfaction.

"You're carrying two people now; I don't feel comfortable letting you go to school alone!"

Looking at Song Yuhao's determined face, Song Yuli felt somewhat helpless.

"Our schools are in different directions. What if I'm late after you take me to school?"

"It's okay, I have long legs and I walk fast!"

Song Yuhao continued to follow behind Song Yuli.

Just as the two were at an impasse, a bicycle bell rang behind them.

The two of them turned around at the same time and saw Xu Yang riding an inconspicuous bicycle. He awkwardly scratched his head and then gave Song Yu a wry smile.
