When Ji Annuan turned one year old, a very formal birthday banquet was held.
Almost everyone in Yundu's high society circle came.
Since Song Yansheng passed away, Su Xiaoling has been living alone.
No one told her the truth.
Mu Xiaocheng told her that Song Yansheng had gone to get medical treatment and gave her the wedding ring.
He told her to wait for him.
After he came back, they got married.
How could Su Xiaoling not see through such a lie?
She had prepared for the worst, but she avoided reality.
She told herself that he would come back, because he had said he would come back to marry her.
No matter how long it takes, she will wait.
This faint hope in her heart kept her going.
"I heard you're planning to retire?"
Mu Xiaocheng looked at Su Xiaoling and asked with a puzzled expression.
Su Xiaoling stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, holding a wine glass.
"Yes, I'm planning to take my mom on a trip abroad in a while."
And incidentally, I'll also look for traces of him.
"Well, that's good. Public figures face too much pressure; you should get out and about."
Su Xiaoling took a sip of wine, smiled, and said, "I hope I can meet him again this time."
Mu Xiaocheng fell silent.
They all knew that Song Yansheng had left, except for Su Xiaoling, who was kept in the dark.
She couldn't tell her the truth because she had promised Yan Sheng.
Seeing that Mu Xiaocheng didn't speak, Su Xiaoling put down the wine glass in her hand and took out a small silver bracelet from her bag.
"This is a birthday gift for An Nuan. I have some things to take care of at the agency, so I'll be going now."
Mu Xiaocheng took the bracelet from her hand, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Su Xiaoling shook her head: "No. After I finish my business, I still need to get a visa for my mother. Please tell Xiao Annuan a happy birthday for me."
"Um."
Mu Xiaocheng nodded.
As she watched Su Xiaoling turn and leave, she suddenly felt a lump in her throat.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Since Yan Sheng left, she has never seen Ling Ge smile happily again.
She knew that Ling Ge wasn't stupid; she definitely knew, but she just didn't want to face it.
Now, she only hopes that time will heal everything.
I hope Brother Ling can live a good life.
Ji Huaishen appeared beside her without her noticing. He reached out and gently pulled her into his arms.
"Xiao An Nuan is crying out for her mother, let's go."
His voice was deep and gentle.
"Ling-ge will live well for Yan-sheng-ge, right?"
Mu Xiaocheng asked slowly, her voice a little hoarse.
Ji Huaishen rubbed her head and said in a deep voice, "She's not stupid. Maybe from the beginning, she knew that Song Yansheng had already left. Maybe she wanted to leave herself with a glimmer of hope, so she pretended not to know anything. If it were me, I would do the same."
If it were him, he wouldn't believe that the person he loved had passed away.
He will remain in this world with a glimmer of hope.
Mu Xiaocheng understood everything Ji Huaishen said.
But she was still worried...
"Okay, go check on the child."
Ji Huaishen took her hand and walked towards the hall.
Tang Bai and Song Guiran had already arrived, and Song Guiran was standing at the door waving to them.
Lu Chi stood not far from them, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Shen Yiming was still dressed in his finest attire and was currently talking to Han Ziyou.
Feng Xixi and Chi Yanshan arrived late, still playfully bickering.
Mu Xiaocheng smiled. Her group of friends was really great.
