New Yearâs Day.
Early in the morning, Shi Le packed his luggage because he had promised to travel around the world with Zuo Yi.
â
They had worked hard for decades and had now reached the peak of their lives. They had no regrets and their lives could be considered complete. Now, they only needed to enjoy their old age in the company of their children.
Of course, before that, while they were still able to move freely, they had to travel around the world. That way, they would truly have no regrets even if they had to cross over into the other world.
âGrandpa, Grandfather Zuo, have a safe trip!â
Shi Nuannuan wished them well as she watched them get into the black Lincoln.
Once the car had disappeared around the corner, she turned and walked back into the house.
She tried to remain calm, taking deep breaths. But not seeing Xiangyi for even three days was driving her crazy.
Had she gone mad?
She heard that he would only be back on the eighth day of the New Year. In other words, she would have to wait for another week before she could see Xiangyi.
But why did she feel like she couldnât wait any longer?
She plopped herself down onto the sofa and pulled up Xiangyiâs number on her phone.
She had just called him before she went to bed last night. Wouldnât it seem too a little obsessive if she called him again?
Her brother said that she had to be more reserved.
But...
Should one even be reserved with a lover?
She didnât think so and dialed Xiangyiâs number!
The phone rang for a long timeâno one picked up. In the end she gave up.
But, what should she do? She missed Xiangyi so much!
Suddenly, an idea popped into her head.
She should go find Xiangyi in G City.
âNuannuan, weâre going to the cityâs main temple to pray for the babies. Do you want to go?â Shen Lanzhi had been keen to visit the temple to pray for her grandchildren after hearing that Z Cityâs temple would be filled with strong incense and was usually flooded with people praying for their children every New Year.
Nuannuan looked up and saw that her mom, sister-in-law, brother and the twins had already gathered in the living room. Nuannuan would have usually wanted to go, but she refused this time.
âIâm not going!â
Hearing her daughterâs answer, it wasnât just Shen Lanzhi but even Zuo Weiyi was surprised.
Wasnât Nuannuan usually the outgoing one? Why would she pass on an outing on New Yearâs?
âWhy arenât you going? Wouldnât you be alone at home then?â asked Shen Lanzhi as she carried her grandson.
Shi Nuannuan avoided her gaze. Although she could hide it from her mom and sister-in-law, she could not hide it from Shi Yutingâs eyes.
She lowered her head. âYes, but I just wanted to catch up on some sleep. I hadnât slept well last night.â
With that explanation, Shen Lanzhi didnât push further.
âAlright then. You stay at home and rest well.â
âOkay.â
After watching them leave, Shi Nuannuan did not turn around and go upstairs until the car was far away. After a few minutes, she came down with a red suitcase in her hand.
Before boarding the plane, she sent her brother a message.
After all, if she left without saying anything, her mom might be worried about her.
After a while, she saw her brotherâs reply: âBe careful, donât act recklessly.â.
Shi Nuannuan pouted.
âTsk, didnât you and sister-in-law get to know each other because you acted recklessly? In the end, you got married and lived a happy life.â
In Shi Nuannuanâs heart, it was only a matter of time before she slept with Xiangyi!
But thinking about it, she wasnât sure if she would even have the guts to do it.
She turned off her phone before the flight to G City officially took off.
It was already one oâclock in the afternoon when she arrived at G City Airport.
