  Lin Nuan's brows furrowed. She spoke faster than she could think, questioning him in a certain tone, "Did you argue with Song Yao again?"

  Lin Nuan thought that Cen Mo had thrown his temper at Song Yao again. After all, even as an outsider who hadn't had that many interactions with Cen Mo, Lin Nuan could already sense Cen Mo's explosive temper.

  "Today, around six, Song Yao woke up and said that she was going to an especially famous pau shop in Haicheng to buy pau and refused to let anyone accompany her. She didn't tell me which pau shop it was either, insisting on going out alone. I was unable to dissuade her, so I let her go. In the end, she hasn't returned home!" It was rare for Cen Mo to say so much to Lin Nuan in a serious manner.

  Lin Nuan glanced at her watch and saw that it was only 7:50.

  She was rendered speechless.

  It had only been over an hour…


  "Cen Mo, aren't you overreacting?" Lin Nuan said to Cen Mo, "If it's an especially famous pau shop in Haicheng, it should be Qiongjing Pau. Qiongjing Pau basically opens at 5:30 am, and from 6 am onwards, there's a long queue outside the shop. If one arrives there when the paus are sold out and before a new batch is ready, it's normal to wait up to half an hour! Moreover, add to that the time she would take to travel to and fro, and it's normal for Song Yao to be gone for one and a half to two hours. If you guys didn't quarrel, then it shouldn't be long before Song Yao returns. If you guys did quarrel, then it's hard to say!"

  Lin Nuan said that to test Cen Mo.

  "Qiongjing Pau! Okay! I got it…"

  Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.

  It seemed like Cen Mo didn't hear what she had just said.

  "Jiang jiang jiang jiang, the paus are back…"

  Lin Nuan heard Song Yao's crisp and clean voice over the phone.

  "Where did you go? Why did it take so long?"

  When Cen Mo saw Song Yao, he completely forgot about the fact that he hadn't even said goodbye to Lin Nuan, simply hanging up the call.

  Hearing the disconnected sound on the phone, Lin Nuan wasn't at all angry. On the contrary, she was smiling.

  Since Song Yao's near-death experience, it was like Cen Mo had transformed into a different person…


  In the past, he had a cynical and high-and-mighty attitude. Now, he was nervous, as if he could lose Song Yao at any moment.

  Lin Nuan was in a daze for a moment. In the past, she never used to understand the power of love that people spoke of.

  But, be it herself or Cen Mo, they were people who were transformed by the power of love…


  Lin Nuan had become more passionate, whereas Cen Mo had become more careful.

  The corners of Lin Nuan's lips turned up slightly. She believed this was a good sign that the psychological problems inside of her were gradually becoming better.

  Song Yao had also obtained the love she wanted. At least Lin Nuan could tell from the way Cen Mo was acting so cautiously… that Cen Mo had placed Song Yao in the deepest corners of his heart.

  She tossed the tissue she was holding into the trash can and looked at her smiling reflection in the mirror, guessing that perhaps every person and every story in the world had a happy ending.

  However, when one story ended, another story would spring into being!

  She hoped that every story in every person's life would ultimately get a happy ending, even though there might be twists and turns in the process.

  "Xiao Nuan…"

  Hearing Fu Huai'an calling her from outside, Lin Nuan picked up her phone and left the bathroom. "What is it?"

  Fu Huai'an stood beside the bed with his muscular upper body naked, holding a phone in his hand. He gazed at Lin Nuan with a deep gaze as he said, "Green Mountain Villa called to say that Mom… wants to see you!"

  Lin Nuan paused, suddenly feeling like the hairs all over her body had stood up.

  "Say… say what?"

  "Mom woke up, and she says that she wants to see you!" Fu Huai'an repeated.

  Lin Nuan didn't know how she subsequently managed to change her clothes and get into the car. She couldn't understand… Why would Ji Yun, who had been immersed in her own world and knew only Lin Ran, suddenly ask to see her?

  She even felt that perhaps it was a dream.

  It was only after she got out of the car and sensed the chilly winds that Lin Nuan felt like this was reality.

  She had thought that in this lifetime… her birth mother wouldn't even know about her existence.

  Lin Nuan was a little nervous, licking her dry lips.

  The chilly wind blew past, causing some loose strands of Lin Nuan's hair to fly before her eyes. Some of it even stuck to her lips.

  Sensing a warm and large hand holding her petite hand, Lin Nuan looked towards Fu Huai'an, who had just closed the car door. She wanted to ask him why Ji Yun would ask to see her, but it was like something was stuck in her throat, making her unable to utter a sound.

  Little Lu got out of the driver's seat, held the car door, and hesitated about going with them.

  "Let's go!"

  After a long while, Lin Nuan spoke.

  The petite hand that was being held by Fu Huai'an had already been coated by a thin layer of sweat, making her nervous feelings apparent.

  She entered the gates, went up the stairs into the house, and then changed her shoes. When she walked to the entrance of the entryway, she saw Ji Yun sitting before the fireplace with a shawl around her. She was holding a tablet computer and watching Lin Nuan's shows.

  "Why aren't you going over?"

  Fu Huai'an gripped Lin Nuan's shoulders with both hands, whispering by her ear.

  Now that she was so close, Lin Nuan felt all the more nervous. On the contrary, looking at how Ji Yun was watching her videos with clear eyes, she didn't dare to go over.

  Sensing two figures at the entrance of the living room with her peripheral vision, Ji Yun looked up…


  Her gaze was calm and gentle, not at all out of focus like before.

  Upon seeing the resolute lady from the tablet appear in front of her eyes, Ji Yun's lips moved, though she didn't say anything.

  Fu Huai'an stood behind Lin Nuan, gently shoving her, urging her to take a step forward.

  On the tablet computer resting in Ji Yun's lap, Lin Nuan could be seen hosting "After Heroes" in a suit.

  Inside the quiet villa was Lin Nuan's powerful and clear voice…


  "There are still people who remember… the tear-jerking scene of our nationals loudly singing our national anthem with tears in their eyes while they were detained at the checkpoint and not allowed to pass."

  Ji Yun smiled at Lin Nuan and spoke before she did. "Your show is great…"

  This one sentence broke the silence between them. Lin Nuan gripped the corners of her clothes as she walked towards Ji Yun.

  Lin Nuan, who didn't know what to say, had her vision fall upon the tablet computer on Ji Yun's lap, so she asked, "You just started watching my shows?"

  Ji Yun nodded, her eyes a little moist. She gripped the tablet tightly, gazing at Lin Nuan, who didn't know what to say as she stood before her. She smiled and said, "You look so much like your father…"

  Regrettably, Lin Nuan had never spoken with her father, not even once.

  The last time she saw her father was at a funeral parlor.

  "Don't blame him! He merely wanted you to live a little better! It's just… he used the wrong method and ended up causing you and Xiao Ran harm."

  Lin Nuan nodded. "I don't blame him!"

  "Xiao…" Ji Yun's lips quivered. She wanted to call out Lin Nuan's name, but she realized that she didn't know what to call her. In the end, she motioned Lin Nuan over, saying, "Come over, let me take a good look at you!"
