Duan Ye smiled and said, "Retreat?"
"Brother, I have nowhere left to retreat."
After saying that, Duan Ye handed over the documents in his hand before Luo Shuyang could say anything.
Luo Shuyang was puzzled: "What?"
When he opened it, Luo Shuyang was completely stunned.
This is all the property that Luo Qingyuan and her grandmother transferred to Duan Ye's name, including the New Moon Hotel, various properties and cars, and even the few cars that he gave to Duan Ye.
Is this... a complete severing of ties?
Duan Ye: "This contract was prepared before our wedding, but I never expected my grandmother's will..."
"This is the revised version. I can't find her now, and I'm afraid she won't come back in the future. But I have to leave the capital. Although we haven't known each other for long, you are her brother, and I trust you."
"I will return all of these things."
"Actually, the Duan family is just an ordinary family, and I am just an ordinary person. Even if I have so much money in my name, I don't know how to use it."
"As for the child, I know she cares about the child. The entanglements between adults should not involve the child."
As he spoke, Duan Ye took out a bank card from his bag and handed it to him.
“Every month from now on, I will deposit child support into this card. I know that the Luo family is wealthy and doesn’t care about a few thousand yuan, but I am the children’s father and I want to do my part.”
After saying that, Duan Ye also stood up: "Brother, although we have had a lot of unpleasantness over the past two years, I really thank you. Thank you for trying your best to help us."
And so, Duan Ye left the Crescent Moon Hotel.
Luo Shuyang sat there all night, holding the contracts and bank cards, in the private room where the food had long since gone cold.
It was only at this moment that Luo Shuyang understood why Luo Qingyuan had been so stubborn back then, only wanting Duan Ye.
"Qingyuan, you brat, are you really... not regretting it at all?"
Days passed by, and Duan Ruijun had left after their wedding. Because he couldn't be contacted, Duan Ruijun still doesn't know what happened to Duan Ye.
Duan Renji knew about it and sent a message of condolence, but they were too far apart to meet.
Ding Yifen was invited by universities in various countries to be a lecturer, so she was constantly traveling all over the country. Duan Sheng was also rarely home because his work had entered an important phase.
Although Liang Mo had a child, she quickly returned to work.
Everyone has their own hardships, but they have no choice but to grit their teeth and keep living.
Despite having so many people, the Duan family is still empty. Only Duan Ze and Shen Niannian can be together every day, accompanying their child from sunrise to sunset.
Aside from work, Duan Ye spends all his time tending to the garden at Moon Bay.
December arrived quickly, and a heavy snow fell in the capital. Duan Ye also set up a flower trellis in the garden, and the crabapple and roses bloomed even in the harsh winter.
A week before leaving Beijing, Duan Ye received a phone call from another country.
So, that night, Duan Ye submitted his application, which was then forwarded through various levels of government. With the help of his grandfather and father, he finally boarded a plane to Ellis.
After a long and arduous journey, he finally arrived in Ellis two days later.
Cheng Suisui sent someone to pick him up, and as soon as he got out of the car, he rushed to the hospital.
It was the height of summer for Ellis, and since he couldn't speak the language, he had to rely on Cheng Suisui to translate for him. He didn't know much else, except that Luo Qingyuan had given birth to twins, the elder one being a son and the younger one a daughter.
The surgery was very dangerous; Luo Qingyuan suffered severe bleeding and fell into a coma.
For the past two days, Duan Ye has been staying with her in the ward, barely exchanging any words. But he washed Luo Qingyuan's clothes, wiped her body, and learned to change diapers and feed the two children formula. He didn't even have time to shave his own beard, which had grown out.
Two days later, Luo Qingyuan woke up. The doctor said she was out of danger and just needed to rest and recover.
After Luo Qingyuan woke up, Cheng Suisui came to Duan Ye several times, hoping that Duan Ye would go and see Luo Qingyuan, but she was refused each time.
One last time, Duan Ye said, "If I go, she'll probably go even further."
"Don't tell her I was here."
On that hot summer day, Luo Qingyuan was pushed out of the ward by Cheng Suisui. Someone brought a bunch of crabapple blossoms to Luo Qingyuan, and her eyes immediately lit up.
I looked up and saw a nurse.
The nurse said in fluent Spanish, "Miss Luo, you and Haitang are a perfect match. Congratulations on having such beautiful and well-behaved babies."
Luo Qingyuan smiled, her eyes crinkling, and accepted the bouquet of crabapple blossoms.
In Ellis, she had never seen a crabapple tree before. She thought the flower only grew in China, so she was really happy.
She also spoke fluent Spanish with the nurse, expressing her gratitude.
At the corner of the hospital, Duan Ye saw her smiling so happily, and the fear he had felt for the past few days finally disappeared at that moment.
Cheng Suisui looked up, but only saw a glimpse of a garment disappear around the corner.
Luo Qingyuan looked up and saw Cheng Suisui's gaze, but when she followed Cheng Suisui's gaze, she found nothing.
Even though there was nothing there, Luo Qingyuan's heartbeat still accelerated involuntarily. Not only did it accelerate, but her hands and feet trembled slightly uncontrollably, and her eyes uncontrollably moistened.
"Sui Sui, what are you looking at?"
Looking at the bright sunshine outside, Cheng Suisui said, "I know it's nice to have such good weather. If we were in the capital, it would probably be snowing heavily by now."
Luo Qingyuan smiled, her eyes slightly red: "Yes, the New Year is almost here."
After that sentence, neither of them spoke again.
Luo Qingyuan recalled how happy they were during last year's Spring Festival. The whole family sat together, ate dumplings, stayed up late to welcome the new year, set off fireworks, built a snowman, and even went to the market together, doing so many things...
They also made a wish together for many years to come.
But none of them ever got to see the passing of years.
Duan Ye returned to China. He went to Moon Bay, tidied up the garden again, handed it over to Yang Li, and then, dragging his luggage, embarked on his journey.
When Duan Ye left the capital, everyone felt that their relationship had fallen apart.
Even Chen Manhua, who still held hope for them, couldn't help but sigh after Duan Ye left and disappeared without a trace: "These two are now in completely different places. I wonder if we will ever meet again in this life."
Nanxing only learned of Duan Ye's departure much later. She wanted to say hello again, but she could no longer get in touch with him.
This year, only Duan Ze and Shen Niannian came to the Duan family home for the Spring Festival.
It seems like they all left very suddenly, without having a proper time to say goodbye.
Shen Niannian simply nestled in Duan Ze's arms, watching the fireworks bursting in the sky outside, and said, "This is good too, so we never have to say goodbye."
The capital city is so big, and people still come and go every day, but...
When will I see my old friend again...?
