irs.The room door was ajar. Jingyun sat on the bed facing away from the door, holding a blue dolphin plushie that Xiangwan used to love dearly. She was motionless, lost in thought."Mom—" Xiang Wan wa...Then, Yi Nan reached out and pulled Meng Lan into her embrace, gently patting her shoulder, and softly reminded her, "Since you've made a decision, don't give yourself a chance to regret it. Meng Lan, you always deserve better."

"Hmm."

Menglan reluctantly agreed with a murmur.

Then, she proactively reached out to shake Xiang Wan's hand. Just as her hand touched it, she felt an icy coldness in the palm of her hand.

"You..."

Mulan raised her eyes in surprise.

As a result, she saw tears streaming down Huā Wǎn's face. For a moment, she was completely lost for words.

She didn't expect that the emotion of A-Wa could be so intense.

No, it's also her fault for not considering Hualian's feelings and bringing up this matter.

"I'm sorry, Wanye. I didn't mean to say that." Menglan apologized softly.

When she saw A-wai's pained expression, she didn't know what to do.

"It's nothing." Xiangwan slightly raised her head, a wry smile playing on her lips, "Since Hanchuan passed away, I've been gradually accepting reality. But I just feel like he's still here, right by my side."

She turned aside as she spoke, "But I looked, really, I sent people all over the world to search, every corner, every place, but I just couldn't find him anymore."

"Why I've tried so hard to find her, every way imaginable, but nothing worked. Did Hanchuan really leave me"

Hearing her words, Menglan could only feel a deep pang of heartache.

"No, no," she softly comforted Xiangwan. "President He definitely won't just leave you like this. He must be somewhere, also looking forward to reuniting with you and the children."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hualian's tears flowed again.

She didn't know what to say, but the pain lingered, refusing to dissipate.

Menglan sighed softly, then reached out to pull her into her arms, gently patting her shoulders and soothingly said, "向晚 (Xiangwan), don't cry. I'll always be with you."

Although she was clearer than anyone else that He Hanchuan wasn't appearing now, then he must be gone.

Yet, they were still willing to hold onto that sliver of hope, expecting a miracle to occur.

Even if it can't be realized, just thinking about it makes me feel a lot better.

Life still goes on, carrying our own hopes and the hopes of those who are gone.

……

Five years ago.

The Xiang Group.

"Madam, this is the latest quarterly report and some details about the upcoming collaboration. We have everything ready, including your flight ticket. Do you need us to pick you up tonight for your departure" The assistant inquired with concern.

"No need." Xiang Wan said faintly, "There are so many things in the company that we don't need to trouble everyone anymore."

"Good."

The assistant nodded.

But A-Wei picked up the cooperation materials on the table, a painful look flashing in her eyes.

For so many years, she had sent out so many people to search everywhere for the shadow of He Hanchuan.

If he were alive in this world, he should have appeared long ago.

But strangely, she just couldn't find it.

Now, after much time has passed, A-Wan has gradually accepted the fact that He Hanchuan has left her. She's devoted herself to building a successful career and providing the best education for her children, raising them well step by step.

Kan Chuan's appearance still lingered in her mind, for a long time, never ceasing. She saw Mi Shi... Look at me... Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...

She still hasn't given up on searching for it, every day.

……

In the evening, A-wei was packing her things in her bedroom.

Just then, the door was knocked on and He ZeYan walked in from outside, "Ahem, Mommy."

Seeing her son like this, Xiang Wan's eyes revealed a touch of tenderness.

"What are you doing out there Come in quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Zeye took a step and walked in. He glanced at Xiang Wan cautiously, then took out a small medicine box from behind him and handed it to her.

"Here you go."

After hearing that, Xiang Wan's movements paused for a moment.

She raised her eyes and glanced at He Ze Yan, "What is it"

She said, and then opened the medicine cabinet. Inside, there were row after row of small pill boxes, each with dosage and administration instructions written on top.

Ge Ze Yan was being stared at and felt a little embarrassed. He whispered, "This is something I specially prepared for you. Your body isn't good, and you often catch wind chills. I'm afraid that when you go abroad, you won't be able to eat these medicines."

As soon as he finished speaking, he shoved the medicine box into Xiang Wan's palm. "Take good care of yourself."

"Thank you, my dear son."

Towards the end's heart only felt very warm, smiling and saying, "Mommy will."

“Oh, right.” He Ze Yan thought of something again and took out some test papers from his school bag, handing them to him. “These are some homework assignments I’ve done these past few days. My teacher said that I have a good natural foundation and that I will study hard, trying my best to go to the company and help you as soon as possible so that you don't have to work so hard.”

向晚 looked at him, her eyes tinged with redness, "Baby, you've grown up."

He Ze Yan's face flushed red, "Of course, I'm a young man."

The more he spoke, the more embarrassed he became. He whispered, "Well, take care of yourself. I'm going back to study now."

Saying that, he pushed open the door and turned to leave.

Towards the end of his tiny figure, Xiang Wan watched with a slight smirk playing on her lips. She let out a helpless chuckle.

Her son was not good with words and had a habit of swallowing everything.

Since He Hanchuan's death, he has become extraordinarily mature and sensible, and very filial. He is busy with his studies almost every day, bearing more pressure than children of the same age.

The more her son acted this way, the more heartbroken she became.

After finishing packing, A-wei asked the housekeeper to send a car directly to the airport. She went through the boarding procedures and flew to M country.

The moment I stepped out of the airport, I saw a familiar figure standing at the arrival gate.

"Hello, General!"

"Hello, Mi-lin," Xiang Wan's lips curled into a faint smile as she walked over and pulled her into her arms, "It's been so long. How come you came to pick me up"

"Mr. David is still in a meeting at the company, he doesn't trust anyone else to pick you up so I came personally." Milin said respectfully.

Then, she took the suitcase from Xiangwan's hand, "You must be tired after such a long journey. We prepared a comfortable hotel for you, and I will take you there to rest."

"Thank you."向晚's lips curled into a smile.

They were about to walk out of the airport when, suddenly, a group of crazy female fans came over and exclaimed.

"Ah ah, did you all see that" he could even touch her, Lisa pushed him away with force and screamed hysterically at him."Get away from me!"She opened her mouth and continued berating him, "Do you really think I'm deaf I heard eve...
