After confirming that Gu Xiyan's divorce proceedings were complete, Wei Zhe planned to leave the capital overnight. At this point, he still had a few points of unease in his heart. He was afraid, afraid that what he had gained now would be like pouring water into a bamboo basket - all for nothing.

  He didn't ask Gu Xiyan why she wanted to be with him, whether he was hurt or what. He resisted guessing because he knew the answer couldn't be as he wished, that she loved him.

  After Wei Zhe was discharged from the hospital in the morning, he quickly went to settle some handover matters at the company. Expanding business in Beijing is a plan that the company has already made. Originally, he was supposed to be stationed in Beijing. After all, the company has just developed on this side of Beijing and needs someone with certain decision-making leadership abilities to take charge here. But since Yan Yan agreed to accompany him to T City, he would not let go of this opportunity. This noon, he asked his two trusted assistants from T City to come over to this side. With them around, he can also leave with more peace of mind.

  Only by leaving here can she avoid that man. She knows that the person Yanyan loves now is not herself. So, he cannot let Yanyan stay in Beijing. Otherwise, they will run into each other everywhere. He has no leverage to guarantee that Yanyan won't go back to that man because of this. Whether you say he's selfish or that he's playing tricks, who can really let go when it comes to love? He has already lost Yanyan once. He knows how painful that feeling is. So, no matter what, he doesn't want to experience that taste again.

  "Respected passengers. From Beijing Capital International Airport to T City's...". The airport broadcast sounded. Gu Xiyan subconsciously turned her head and took a glance back.

  "Quickly, the plane is about to take off. Now we should go to the security check." Wei Zhe ignored Xiu Yan's behavior. His parents had already returned to T City ahead of him. Now he just needed to bring Xiu Yan back and they could reunite as a family.

  "Alright, let's go." A hint of reluctance flashed in Gu Xiyan's eyes. She had been feeling like someone was staring at her just now, but thinking about it again, she probably was just being paranoid. She had only told Han Xiang about her decision to leave, and hadn't mentioned it to anyone else.

  After passing through the security check, Gu Xianyun took a last look back. At that moment, a tall and desolate figure stood alone in the midst of a crowd at the airport. His surroundings were bustling with people.

  Their eyes had a brief intersection, even though they were separated by some distance, she still recognized him at a glance.

  Goodbye. Gu Xiyan said in her heart.

  The plane pierced through the sky. When I was leaving the airport, I happened to see a plane flying straight across the pitch-black night sky.

  She clearly saw him, but didn't say anything. She walked dazedly to her car and got in after Shang Yi opened the door. The car sped down the highway, running through several red lights. The traffic police behind could only gaze at his license plate and sigh, another car they couldn't stop.

  When he returned home, he suddenly burst out laughing wildly and forcefully. What had he done wrong? Why couldn't she stay with him? She had found her so-called happiness and love. But what about him? What was he supposed to do? Hadn't she really left his side? In that case, where could he find happiness?

  "Dad..." The little girl had already been at home. Hearing the sound of the door opening, she hurried over and called out to Shang Xi in a loud voice. After that, she quietly stood aside. To be honest, Dad's smile made her feel a bit scared. But she shouldn't be afraid of Dad, right?

  "Yan'er, come here." Shang Zhi slowly stopped his laughter. After beckoning to the little girl, a flash of pain crossed his eyes.

  "Dad, what's wrong?" Little girl let Shang Yi Qi pick her up.

  "Yan'er, from now on it's just the two of us." Shang Yi knew his words were too cruel, but honesty was better than hiding and concealing. Otherwise, when the little one found out about this matter someday, she would only be more heartbroken.

  The little girl seemed to be puzzled, her eyes wide open as she stared at Shang Zhi's face. She said foolishly: "Dad, why are there two people? Dad, Mom, and Yan'er... we're three people, three." As she spoke, the little girl held up three fingers on her right hand.

  "Yan'er, you're so clever, you must know what Father is saying, right? It's okay, Father will be twice as good to you from now on, it's okay." The little girl's lovely big eyes welled up with tears, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. Shang Tianqi patted her shoulder gently while forcing himself to say...

  "Where's Mommy, Daddy? Doesn't Mommy want me anymore?" The little girl looked at her father's eyes filled with pain. Although she didn't quite understand, she knew that she was right. Her mommy didn't want her anymore.

  Shang Yi held the little guy in his arms, who wouldn't stop crying. It was good that Yan'er could vent out her sadness. But he... couldn't do anything.

  That night, the little one cried non-stop in Shang Qi's arms until she was exhausted and fell asleep. After she fell asleep, Shang Qi carried her upstairs and put her on the bed. Then he went to get a towel and gently wiped her poor little face clean.

  Shang Yi didn't return to his own room, or rather, their room. He stayed by Xiao Yao's bedside all night, worried that the little guy would wake up in the middle of the night.

  As expected, Xiao Yaotou woke up crying twice in the middle of the night. Both times, he patiently comforted her for a long time before she fell asleep again.

  "Mommy, don't go. Mommy... Mommy..." The little girl murmured in her sleep. Shang Xi gently stroked his daughter's small face. In the end, he couldn't say a word.

  The next day, Xiaoyao woke up and became much quieter. She didn't cry or make a fuss anymore. Shang Xi had hardly rested the whole night and his complexion was also much worse.

  "Dad, dad, you go rest now. Yan'er can watch TV by herself." The little girl leaned over to peck a kiss on Shang Yi's cheek before saying optimistically.

  Shang Yi gently pinched the little guy's powdered nose. His face softened. "Yan'er, this afternoon you have to go to class, okay? Can't always be playing hooky, you know. Daddy is tired. If Daddy isn't up by 10:30, Yan'er will call Daddy to wake him up, alright?"

  Yan'er knew. The little maid turned on the TV after negotiating with Qi to go upstairs. But this time, she didn't have the mood to watch cartoons anymore.

  The TV was playing the movie version of "Ding Dang". The little girl suddenly shed tears quietly. Her pink small hands wiped away the tears on her face. Her eyes were red.

  Mommy, didn't you promise never to leave Yanyan? Mommy, how could you deceive Yanyan? Yanyan trusted you so much... Mommy, is it that you don't like Yanyan anymore? But Yanyan has been very good and obedient... Mommy...

  The little girl cried and fell asleep on the sofa. Shang Wei went downstairs at just over nine o'clock. When he walked into the living room, he saw that the little girl's face was covered with tears again.

  "Yan'er..." Shang Yi turned off the TV and carried the little guy back upstairs.
