However, Lu Hao knew Wanwan’s dedication to her work and love for her career couldn’t be easily discouraged.
“Do you want to return?” Lu Hao asked Lin Wan.
“Yes.” Lin Wan nodded, expressing her thoughts. “I miss my mother. She’s been living alone in Ancheng City for the past few years. I wonder how she’s doing.”
In Ancheng City, the person she missed the most was her mother, and the person she thought about the most was the man buried deep in her heart.
Yet, she knew missing him didn’t imply reentering his life. Perhaps he had spent the past five years with Xu Yanxi.
Lu Hao suddenly reached out, holding Lin Wan’s hand. He inquired, “Wanwan, if you return to Ancheng City, will you return…”
Before Lu Hao could finish, Lin Wan interjected.
“No,” Lin Wan firmly asserted. She understood his unspoken question. Upon gazing at Lu Hao, she continued, “I’m no longer a part of his life. Even if I return, I have no intention of reentering his life. He has someone to cherish, and I have someone to protect. We can only live our own lives.”
“Raman is my everything. My greatest happiness is to be with him forever. Take good care of him, ensure he stays healthy, and shield him from harm,” Lin Wan conveyed.
Xiao Yichen had Xu Yanxi in his life, and she couldn’t insert herself into that equation.
Moreover, five years ago, when they came to France, she had promised Lu Hao that if he didn’t drive her away, she would never leave him because he gave up on everything for her.
However, her commitment was to stay by his side without any romantic entanglements, let alone marriage.
“Mm…” Upon listening to Lin Wan’s thoughts, Lu Hao nodded and said, “Wanwan, if you want to return to Ancheng City, we’ll go together. When we return, we’ll maintain our current life. We’ll take care of Ranran and Auntie together. You… I’ll take care of you alone.”
For five years, his life had been splendid and joyful because of her. In the future, he wanted to spend his life with her. He’d be content even if he only had her love in this life. At least she was by his side.
Lin Wan looked at Lu Hao and nodded. The two then discussed the detailed plan to return to the country. Lin Wan would go back first with a few colleagues, while Lu Hao handled the work on the French side, then processed the school withdrawal procedures for Ranran before returning to Ancheng.
On Saturday, Xiao Yichen awoke at seven in the morning. After breakfast, he drove back to the Xiao mansion.
At the Xiao mansion, Xiao Shengdong and Ning Yan were elated to see their son. They promptly went to the kitchen to instruct the housekeepers to prepare a lavish lunch.
In the living room, Xiao Yichen and his father engaged in conversation. The topic eventually led to Xiao Hairong.
“Yichen, your uncle…” Xiao Yichen cut off Xiao Shengdong’s speech.
“Dad, he… isn’t my uncle,” Xiao Yichen said.
Five years ago, at a critical juncture, he had nearly faced death. He had planned to transfer his assets to her, but that woman had abandoned him. His plan was disrupted, leading to attacks from Xiao Hairong and the international underground organization. He had almost met his demise at the hands of either party.
Looking back, it was all thanks to Xiao Hairong and Xiao Yaling that he found himself in such a difficult situation.
Upon hearing his son’s words, Xiao Shengdong sighed and continued, “Yichen, what happened five years ago is in the past.. Can you gradually let it go now?”
