"Really?" Hearing Tao Tian's promise, An An's eyes lit up with excitement as he asked.

"Of course, Mummy and An An wouldn't lie to them." Tao Tian stretched out a pinky finger as he smiled at An An.

"Yes." An'an recovered her little face, waving her little hand and making a hook with Tao Tian.

"Come, Anthea. Let's pack our things and leave tomorrow." Tao Tian carried An An onto the bed and let him sit aside while he opened the suitcase and tidied up his clothes.

Every item was a memory from her past, recording stories about her older brother. Tao Tian carefully packed up her and An An's belongings and stored them in a leather case. She would bring these heavy memories back to the city and begin her journey to the other side.

Suddenly, a small round object rolled out from between the clothes. Tao Tian bent down to pick it up; it was the miniature listening device that she and her brother used to complete missions together. Her brother had relied on this item to know of her situation, and then promptly saved her from danger.

"Big brother." Tao Tian placed the overhearing device in his hand on his face. His big brother's breath was still lingering, as if he was still by her side. His eyes became moist.

"Du …" It was unknown whether Tao Tian had touched a button or not, but the small listening device suddenly beeped, "But I secretly recorded your contact information with someone else, and after I found someone to do some post-recording, it became incriminating proof that you wanted to kill Brother Zichen …" Irene's sweet voice came from the small listening device.

"How could this be?" Tao Tian stopped his tears. He turned the listening device over and over again, carefully examining it to see if there were any clues.

She had been using this listening device for many years, but she had no idea that it had an automatic recording function.

Tao Yao held the listener and kneaded it hard, hoping to find the switch he accidentally pressed just now.

"Du …" With a slight touch from Tao Tian, Irene's voice was also frozen.

"Du …" BEEP … "Du …" Following Tao Tian's repeated probing, his voice also rose and fell.

"So that's how it is." Tao Tianxin tightly held onto a pile of eavesdropping devices as if she had obtained a precious treasure, "Irene, your good luck should come to an end." Tao Tian's eyes revealed a fierce light as he said this. He carefully put away the overhearing device.

"Yao Yao, have you finished cleaning up? "If you're ready, then come out and eat." Auntie Zhong stood in the living room and shouted.

"Ai, alright. Let's go, An An. Let's go wash our hands with Mommy." Tao Tian organized his things and pulled An An to the bathroom.

"Miss Ye, after dinner, I'll trouble you to bring us mother and son to see Aran." During the meal, Auntie Zhong pleaded with Ye Ning.

"Alright Auntie Zhong, don't worry." Ye Ning Tian agreed.

Everyone quickly finished their meal before driving to the place where Tao Ran was going to sleep for a long time.

It was just that she never thought that one day, Tao Ran would actually merge with the mountain and river. The autumn wind was bleak, and Tao Tian wore a long white skirt and a black coat as he held An An, Auntie Zhong, and Ye Ning Tian together as he stood in front of Tao Ran's grave.

"Brother Ran, I brought my sister An An and my aunt to visit you." The moment he saw Tao Ran's handsome face on the ice-cold stone monument, his heart ached.

"Brother, An An and I have come to see you, and Aunt Hui." Tao Tian took a step forward and gently caressed the photo embedded in the stone tablet. "I'm sorry that I didn't come to send you off on your final journey. By the way, big brother, you don't know yet right? Actually, Auntie Zhong, she …" She's your mother. " Tao Tian raised his head to look at Auntie Zhong. Auntie Zhong was also looking at her with tears in her eyes as she kept nodding her head.

"Ah Ran, my child, mother has let you down." At that moment, Auntie Zhong could not help but hold the stone monument tightly.

"Aunt Hui, don't be like this." Tao Tian tugged on Auntie Zhong's shoulder and said, "Even if big brother were in heaven, he wouldn't want you to be like this."

"That's right. Brother Ran, you should be very happy. You must have been with your mother during the last moments of your life." Ye Ningtian slowly said to Tao Ran's tombstone.

"Brother, I came to bid you farewell. I'm leaving here tomorrow, I want to return to Yan City with Aunt Hui, I want to punish those who harmed you. Brother, you have to protect me in the sky." "Brother, you can rest assured that I am very strong now. Once I have settled this matter, I will bring An An and Aunt Hui back with me. We will always accompany you and never leave. Brother, what do you think?" Tao Yao looked at the smiling face in Tao Ran's black-and-white photo. With tears in her eyes, she asked with a smile.

"Brother Ran, don't worry. Auntie Zhong and An Xin, as well as little An An, I will take good care of them. We will be accompanying you in S City from now on." Ye Ningtian continued to speak. Facing this young and handsome man lying on the ice-cold ground, everyone's emotions were unable to control themselves for a moment.

"Big brother, you must remember to wait for me to come back." Standing in front of Tao Ran's grave, Tao Tian finally spoke with determination.

The three of them stood in front of Tao Ran's grave and chatted for a while. It was as if he had temporarily left and would return soon.

Ye Ning Tian called her housekeeper to ask him to help her book a plane ticket. Seeing that it was already late, Ye Ning Tian decided to bring the three of them back.

"An Xin, when you get home, remember to call me no matter the difficulties you encounter." After returning home, Ye Ning Tian sat by Tao Tian's bed, watching as she tidied up her things.

"Understood, Miss Ye. You said it five times in ten minutes." Being able to smile meant that her heart was healing. It wasn't because she didn't love her brother, but because she had to quickly recover so that she could seek justice for her dead brother.

"What, you don't like me being long-winded!" Ye Ningtian smiled and said, "I'm here to take care of you on behalf of your big brother. Unfortunately, I can't go with you to Yan City. Otherwise, I really want to see how you personally kill that damned old fox." Thinking of Tao Ran's death, Ye Ningtian's teeth were itching in anger.

"Miss Ye." The smile on Tao Tian's face suddenly disappeared and was replaced with a serious expression. I have a presumptuous request, I hope that you can agree to it. " Tao Tian had a pleading look on his face as he looked at Ye Ningtian.

"What is it? Just tell me!" Regarding Tao Tian's request, Ye Ningtian naturally had no reason to reject it.

"If, I mean if, I went to accompany my brother, would you please help me take care of An An and Aunt Hui?" Tao Tian's serious expression didn't seem like a joke at all.

"An Xin, what nonsense are you talking about!" Ye Ning Tian was stunned as she loudly rebuked, "I won't allow you to say that!"

"Miss Ye, please promise me! Although this was very excessive, however … "But I …" Speaking of which, Tao Tian's disguise of strength had completely collapsed. He continued to shed tears in front of Ye Ning Tian.

"An Xin! An Xin!" Seeing Tao Tian crying so sorrowfully, Ye Ningtian also felt very sad in her heart.

"I will promise you, but you must also promise me, so that I will never be able to fulfill my promise and come back well!" Ye Ning Tian held Tao Tian's hand as he spoke, using a commanding tone.

"Alright, alright." Tao Tian narrowed his eyes as he cried. He said, "Thank you, Miss Ye. I did not have the opportunity to be family with you. However, in my heart, you are already my good sister-in-law and sister." As Tao Tian spoke, he moved forward and gave Ye Ningtian a big hug.

"An Xin." When he felt Tao Tian's thin figure and even his bones looked desolate, Ye Ning Tian couldn't help but feel waves of heartache.

"Alright, then you must come back and accompany elder sister properly, do you understand!?" Ye Ning Tian helped Tao Tian wipe the tears off his face, "Your brother left so irresponsibly, so you're not allowed to do the same." Ye Ningtian pointed at Tao Tian's nose and said.

"Don't worry, Miss Ye, remember to wait for me …" Tao Tian said …

That night, Ye Ningtian didn't return to the Ye Residence. Instead, she stayed at Tao Tian's house, wanting to spend the last night with them.

"Yes, I will stay here and wait for you." Ye Ningtian choked with sobs as she gently embraced Tao Tian.

"Auntie, Auntie." An'an barged in, shouting out Ye Ning Tian's name. An'an had once made a joke out of it, but it was taken to be true. Even now, he still addressed Ye Ning Tian as such.

"An An, I need to call you elder sister Ning Tian." Right now, this form of address sounded sorrowful and ear-piercing. Tao Tian was afraid that Ye Ning Tian would be sad, so he hastily stopped her.

"It's okay, it's okay, I like that name." Ye Ning Tian bitterly smiled. However, he readily accepted An An An's title.

"An An, what's the matter?" Ye Ning Tian bent down and said to An An An.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. This gift is for you." An An An said as she handed a painting to Ye Ningtian. On it were pictures of Tao Tian, Tao Ran, Auntie Zhong and himself. " I was afraid that my aunt would forget what I looked like, so I drew this. "

"Good child, how could I forget about you? But I still have to thank you for your gift, I really like it." Ye Ning Tian smiled as she received An An An's words, carefully keeping them in her bag.

"An Xin, when we get there, you must remember to be careful." Ye Ning Tian was still worried as she warned him.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Tao Yao agreed with a smile.

Ye Ning Tian looked at this thin girl in front of him. Naturally, he didn't know how much ability she had, so he was exceptionally worried …

During the entire night, the three women were still saying their goodbyes. Only when dawn arrived did they barely manage to close their eyes …

When the sun illuminated the land, the three women got out of bed. After a simple breakfast, they set off for the airport.

It was still Ye Ningtian who had called the car over. Tao Tian and Auntie Zhong carried An An and their simple luggage as they set off on their journey.

"An Xin, remember, if you encounter any difficulties …"

"Did I call you?" Ye Ning Tian hadn't finished speaking when Tao Tian rushed to say this. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, but their hearts were filled with sadness.

"Alright, hurry up and go back. I still have to go to work today, so don't fall asleep." Tao Tian patted her shoulder and pretended to be relaxed. She didn't want the worry of parting to fill her heart.

"An Xin! An Xin!" Tao Tian turned his head and was about to enter the security check when a burst of shouts suddenly sounded out …
