“What can he give you?”

“I can give you everything he can, but why… did you leave?”

“We promised not to be apart,” Xiao Yichen uttered each word slowly.

“Wan’er. I truly despise you.”

Gradually, Xiao Yichen closed his eyes and slumped onto the wine cabinet, losing consciousness.

When he awoke, it was well past midnight. Xiao Yichen cradled his aching head and descended to the first-floor bathroom to freshen up. He then went to the dining room, consumed a few bites, and headed upstairs to rest.

After a shower, Xiao Yichen lay on the bed, gazing at the ceiling. Sleep eluded him. The familiar face kept flashing in his mind.

Throughout the day, he struggled not to dwell on her, but nighttime proved inescapable.

For five years, every single night, he had been an inescapable torment. He couldn’t flee from her memory.

His hand ventured out, seeking warmth in the empty, cold bed beside him. Instead, he encountered the pain and anguish in his heart.

She was no longer by his side!

In the French villa, following their family dinner, Lu Hao tended to the dishes in the kitchen. Lin Wan accompanied her son upstairs for a shower and bedtime.

In the bathroom, Lin Xiaoran sat in the spacious bathtub. As he scrubbed himself, he asked his mother, “Lin Wan, how can I become stronger? I want to protect you when I grow up.”

The words pricked Lin Wan’s heart, but she concealed her pain from her son.

“As long as you listen to me and Daddy Lu every day, eat on time, and avoid strenuous activities, you will gradually grow stronger,” Lin Wan reassured.

Her son’s frailty was her responsibility, and she dedicated most of her time to caring for him while juggling work.

“Really?” Lin Xiaoran asked earnestly.

Lin Wan smiled and nodded. “Certainly, as you grow older, you’ll naturally become stronger. So, don’t worry for now.”

“Yes, I’ll listen to Lin Wan. Lin Wan is always right,” Lin Xiaoran responded cheerfully.

Upon observing her son’s delighted shower, Lin Wan refrained from saying more, fearing she might succumb to tears.

After Lin Xiaoran finished showering, Lin Wan carried him to bed and lay down with him. Then, she asked, “Ranran, can you stay in the room alone? I have some work to discuss with Daddy Lu.”

“Yes, I can. Lin Wan, go ahead. I’ll close my eyes and fall asleep soon,” Lin Xiaoran replied obediently.

Understanding the challenges his mommy faced daily, he didn’t want to add to her worries.

“Mm…” Lin Wan bent down, kissed her son’s forehead, and left the bedroom.

Downstairs, Lu Hao sat in the living room watching TV. When he spotted Lin Wan, he stood and walked to the stairwell. As Lin Wan descended, Lu Hao took her hand and led her to the living room.

“Is Ranran asleep?” Lu Hao inquired.

“Not yet, but he promised to sleep well,” Lin Wan replied.

Lu Hao nodded.

“Lu Hao, I need to discuss something with you,” Lin Wan said.

“What is it?” Lu Hao asked.

Lin Wan proceeded to inform Lu Hao about establishing a branch company in Ancheng City and how she was assigned to work there by the CEO.

Upon hearing this, Lu Hao felt a sudden unease. He knew that once Wanwan returned to Ancheng City, she would inevitably encounter Xiao Yichen..
