When Song Qingchun and Su Zhinian returned to the villa from the beach, it was already 11 pm. The driver Su Zhinian called beforehand was already waiting by the entrance.

  When the driver saw Su Zhinian and Song Qingchun, he immediately jumped out from the car and greeted them politely. "Mr. Su, Miss Song."

  Using the streetlight near the villa, Song Qingchun could recognize the driver as the man who approached her at the public restroom, giving her direction to where Su Zhinian was.

  So, Su Zhinian has been planning this surprise all along…… Song Qingchun smiled at the driver but did not say anything as she headed into the villa to start packing.

  When Song Qingchun came down the stairs with her luggage, Su Zhinian, who had been talking to the driver at the door, had disappeared. When the driver saw her walk out of the door, he rushed forward immediately to help her with the bags.

  Song Qingchun stood beside the car and watched the driver haul her luggage into the trunk. When the driver went to hold the door open for her to get in, she unconsciously turned to look back at the house. The large bungalow was quiet and did not contain any trace of Su Zhinian.

  "Miss Song, we have to depart soon or else we’ll be late……" the driver prompted when Song Qingchun stood unmoving. Song Qingchun pulled her gaze back and stared at the open car door for a moment before bowing down and getting into the car. The driver closed the door behind her.

  When the car started, Song Qingchun turned to look out the car window. Under the flickering streetlights, the villa had the appearance of a crystal palace. As the car drove away from the villa, and the building gradually disappeared from her sight, but the man still didn’t come out to bid her farewell.

  Song Qingchun’s eyes that stared out the window started to water.

  Everything was coming to an end.

  The man whom she had hated, the man whom she had loved, the man who had given her so many wonderful memories and hurtful nightmares……

  Everything was coming to an end……

  It was not until the car disappeared over the horizon that Su Zhinian slowly came out from behind the wall of the second-floor bedroom. He stood on the balcony, staring at the car moving away, his expression flat and faint.

  Everything was coming to an end.

  The girl he had searched for 10 years, the girl he had always followed after their reunion, the girl he realized he had fallen in love with after one night, the girl who shared the most precious year of his youth, the girl who he couldn’t help himself from protecting even after their separation……

  Everything was coming to an end……

  Song Qingchun returned to Beijing and could not help but worry about the epic scolding from Song Menghwa. Thankfully, when she mentioned that she was ready to marry Qin Yinan, Song Menghwa’s anger receded.

  Before the date, Song Qingchun had requested Su Zhinian to reconcile with his biological father. Regarding that, Su Zhinian’s answer was that he had to discuss with his mother first. However, the man was far more efficient than she had expected. On the third day after she returned to Beijing, she received a message from Su Zhinian.

  "Qingchun, my mother has agreed."
