Shu Pan shook her head helplessly, thinking how they were bragging about this child.
“Panpan, why don’t you hold your daughter?”
Auntie Lu placed the baby in Shu Pan’s arms. Shu Pan looked at the tiny little person, all rosy and resembling a little monkey.
This was the little baby she had gone through hardships to bring into the world, so small yet so adorable.
“Baby, thank you for coming into my life, for being with Mom. Mom doesn’t expect you to achieve great things, as long as you grow up healthy.”
Shu Pan gently held the baby’s hand, feeling like it was never enough. She softly said, “Baby, from now on, your name is Shu Joy, Joy for short. Do you like your name? I hope you will always be happy and healthy, growing up under Mom’s surname.”
Ye Xiaomeng found out that Shu Pan had given birth to a daughter and rushed over immediately.
At first sight of Ye Xiaomeng, Shu Pan couldn’t recognize her for a moment. Ye Xiaomeng’s once long, shiny black hair was now cut into a stylish short hair, dyed a light golden color.
“Girl, can you recognize me? Do I look good?” Ye Xiaomeng teased, a bit self-absorbed.
Shu Pan noticed that Ye Xiaomeng seemed much brighter and happier than before, and she was genuinely pleased for her. Indeed, time was the best remedy.
“Yes, you look stunning, ” Shu Pan thought that the new hairstyle really suited Ye Xiaomeng.
“Changed my hairstyle, changed my mood,” explained Ye Xiaomeng with a smile.
Then she saw the little beauty, exclaimed, “Girl, your daughter is definitely going to be a beauty. Look at those delicate features.”
While Ye Xiaomeng praised the baby, she couldn’t help feeling a bit down, thinking about her own child, who should have been a bit older than this little girl if things hadn’t turned out the way they did. It was a heartbreaking thought.
“Xiaomeng, what’s wrong?” Shu Pan noticed Ye Xiaomeng lost in thought and called out to her.
Ye Xiaomeng snapped back to reality. She bent down and picked up Shu Pan’s little princess, then said affectionately, “Sweetie, I’m your mom’s best friend and your godmother. Remember me, okay?”
Watching this scene, Shu Pan felt warm inside. She sincerely hoped that Ye Xiaomeng could find happiness. Such a kind and lovely woman deserved to be treated well.
“Girl, I might go to S City for work,” Ye Xiaomeng suddenly changed the topic.
“Why did you decide so hastily? You’re not familiar with the place, how will you manage there? You’ve been in Cheng Yang’s ivory tower for too long, a whole decade. Are you prepared to deal with the complexities of society and human relationships?” Shu Pan was genuinely concerned.
“Don’t worry, I’m not a child anymore. I want to work outside, but I don’t want to return to Bin City,” Ye Xiaomeng replied, feeling prepared. Cheng Yang had been constantly visiting her hometown lately, and no matter what she said or did, he silently endured it. Ye Xiaomeng was getting increasingly annoyed by Cheng Yang’s persistence, and she didn’t feel any attraction to him anymore.
She realized that when she truly let go of someone, this was how it felt.
“Then please take care of yourself, especially when you’re alone. It would be even better if you had a romantic encounter,” Shu Pan jokingly said.
“Alright, I’ll take your advice,” Ye Xiaomeng nodded.
But in truth, she thought she might not be interested in romance for a while. Once bitten, twice shy. The wounds from her previous relationship ran too deep, and this time, she wanted to let fate take its course.
Ye Xiaomeng spent a few days in Lotus Town, continuing to amuse little Joy. Shu Pan watched her friend gradually emerge from the shadows, and she was very happy for her. Finally, Ye Xiaomeng left Lotus Town..
