"No need, I can just take a taxi myself." Wu Luoxi refused the boy in front of her.
During her month in the UK, she received many suitors, but whenever a boy tried to get close to her, the image of him would appear in her mind.
Wu Luoxi originally thought that by completely distancing herself from him, or even deleting all his contact information, she could forget him. But she found that she had lost, and lost miserably.
Countless times she wanted to contact Wang Xinghe, but ultimately suppressed her emotions with reason. Looking at the bustling Chinatown today, a liveliness that didn't belong to her, she mustered her courage and called Wang Xinghe. It was that familiar voice, and it still stirred her heart...
"Mom, is something the matter?"
"Xinghe, aren't you going back to Ningjiang tomorrow? How long are you planning to stay?"
"I want to stay longer, I should come back before the start of the semester."
"Okay, then remember what I said. If you can, go and see them."
"Mom, I'll think about it carefully."
"Okay, Xinghe, is there anything I can help you with? I'll help you pack."
"No, Mom, I've almost finished packing. I'm going to the supermarket later to buy some gifts for the children. I have to leave first thing tomorrow morning, so I'm afraid I won't have time."
"Okay, then I'll go with you later."
"Okay, sure."
"By the way, Mom, what exactly did he do back then?"
Li Lian knew without needing to say it who Wang Xinghe was referring to.
“Xinghe, you should be older and more sensible by now. I’m sorry for what happened to you when you were little.”
"Mom, it's not your fault. Maybe I didn't understand you back then, but now I'm all grown up. When I was little, you had to face the gossip from the neighbors and still take care of me. It must have been very difficult for you."
“He ran off with a rich woman, who was his boss and 30 years older than him.” Li Lian’s eyes were full of hatred as she spoke of Wang Xinghe’s father.
Did you try to contact him afterward?
“I consider him dead. In all these years, he hasn’t asked about my son and me even once. So what if he’s dead?”
"Yes, Mom, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked. It brought back bad memories for you."
"It's alright. Our lives are getting better and better now. I should thank him. Without him, I wouldn't have met your Uncle Su."
"It's obvious that Uncle Su loves you very much."
"Yes, your Uncle Su is very good to me."
In the afternoon, Wang Xinghe and Li Lian went to the mall and bought a whole car full of gifts, filling the back of the car. Li Lian paid for everything.
"Mom, you bought too much."
"Dean Chen and the others have raised you all these years, and this is nothing. When you go back, please tell Dean Chen thank you for me."
"Okay, Mom, I will definitely bring it."
The next day, Wang Xinghe got up early in the morning to prepare for departure.
Li Lian and the others came to see Wang Xinghe off. Even Su Ke'er, who liked to sleep in, got up and stood there yawning.
"Send a message to Ningjiang to let them know you're safe, okay?"
"Mom, I understand."
"Okay, then you can go now, drive carefully."
"Uncle Su, eldest sister, second sister, third sister, fourth sister, I'm leaving."
"Okay, let's go, let's go. I need to go back and catch up on my sleep. Let's hurry up." Su Ke'er was really sleepy, her eyes were half open as she spoke to Wang Xinghe.
"Did we buy too little? Is this enough?"
Watching Wang Xinghe drive away, Su Zhengshan asked.
"That should be enough. When we went to buy it yesterday, Xinghe kept saying we bought too much, but I didn't think it was much. I should have sent another car to accompany Xinghe."
"Yes, maybe next time. Let's go home."
Wang Xinghe arrived at the Liu family home. Liu Qingmeng had also gotten up very early this morning, or rather, she hadn't slept much at all. The thought of going back to Ningjiang with Wang Xinghe made her too excited to sleep.
In the morning, they would get up before dawn to wait.
"Good morning, Aunt Bai and Uncle Liu. I'm here to pick up Mengmeng."
"Okay, Mengmeng got up early this morning and was walking around the living room. You've finally arrived, so hurry up and take her away."
Hearing a commotion outside, Liu Qingmeng quickly came out.
"Dad, what are you saying? We're leaving."
"Go quickly, it's true that a daughter grows up and can't be kept at home."
"Mom and Dad, it's not like I'm not coming back. You're making it sound like we're saying goodbye forever."
"Pah, pah, pah! It's the New Year, why are you saying such unlucky things?" Bai Yueying said angrily.
"Let's go, Xinghe, help me with my suitcase, Mom and Dad, we're leaving."
"Mengmeng, you should sit in the front. There might not be enough room in the back."
Liu Qingmeng opened the back door and saw that the back was full of gifts. It took a lot of effort to stuff the suitcase into the back.
"Why did you buy so many gifts?"
“It’s all my mom’s fault. We went shopping yesterday and she bought so much. I should have known better than to let her go.”
"Okay then, I'll sit in the front and keep you company. I was originally planning to sit in the back and take a nap."
"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"Of course, this is the first time I've gone out with my baby, and it's back in my baby's hometown. How could I not be excited?"
"Do you think Dean Chen and the others will like me? Should I try to be more approachable?"
"Dean Chen will definitely like you, don't worry."
"What if, what if she doesn't like me and kicks me out?"
"Mengmeng, don't worry. Director Chen is a very good person, and the children at the orphanage are all very nice. If the children knew you were my girlfriend, they would cling to you."
"Really? Did you tell Dean Chen you'd take me back?"
"I didn't say anything; I wanted to surprise her."
"Oh dear, what should I do? I'm still worried."
"Okay, you didn't sleep well last night, you have dark circles under your eyes, why don't you take some more sleep?"
"No way, I have dark circles under my eyes? Oh no! Oh no! Am I going to look awful now?"
"No, Mengmeng, you're very pretty, not ugly at all, but you have to think about your health."
"Baby, have you eaten yet?"
"Yes, I haven't had breakfast yet. Mengmeng, have you eaten?"
"I don't have any either. It's only a little past seven. Let's find a breakfast shop later."
"Okay, I'll wake you up when we get to the breakfast shop. You can take a nap first."
"Okay, be sure to wake me up. I'm feeling a little sleepy now, I'm going to take a nap."
When Liu Qingmeng woke up, she found herself in a car, which was speeding away.
Where am I?
"Awake? Mengmeng, are you still half asleep? Take a moment to calm down."
Liu Qingmeng then remembered that she was supposed to go back to Ningjiang with Wang Xinghe today.
Then, her stomach rumbled twice, and Liu Qingmeng quickly covered her stomach.
"Didn't I tell you to wake me up when it's time for breakfast? What time is it now?"
