After hanging up the phone, Xie Langxuan looked at the stack of documents on the table and smiled happily. It was no waste of the time he had spent these two days working overtime.

He took the keys and went downstairs to get his car.

At this moment, Ji Anan hung up the phone, put down the bowl, and put away the leftovers on the table.

Seeing that she had not eaten much, Bei Yiyuan walked over with Nightmare in his arms, disagreeing. "Your appetite is getting smaller and smaller, yet you only have this little to eat?" "Don't learn to lose weight. You're almost as thin as a bean sprout."

Ji An was speechless. He waited for him to finish before he explained, "I've invited people to a meal, so it's not polite to eat too much. Besides, who said I was a bean sprout? What kind of eyes do you have?!"

So he had misunderstood. However, after thinking for a while, his eyes lit up with the flame of gossip, "I remember that you don't have any friends here, then who did you make an appointment with?"

"My boss owed him a meal last time, but I'll make up for it this time."

Bei Yiyuan thought of this person as his eyes lit up. "So it's him!" Not bad, not bad, since he has set his eyes on our princess, does he need me to act as the driver and send you there? "

"What nonsense are you talking about? He and I are pure friends." Ji An looked at the time. "He'll come pick me up in an hour. There's no need for you to be so kind."

Bei Yiyuan wasn't the least bit embarrassed about being exposed. He smiled and said, "I wish you all a pleasant time."

Looking at his face which was filled with the gratification of his elder sister growing up, Ji An really wanted to wipe his face with the cloth in his hand.

After tidying up, Ji An returned to his room to change.

Bei Yiyuan lowered his head and saw the nightmarish face in his arms. Thinking about how he had resisted the urge to look for his new father, he smiled and teased, "Why are you frowning? You won't be able to stay with your mommy for the rest of your life, someone has to walk with her, right? "

He couldn't accompany her, but there was still Daddy! Why do you need others!?

Ji Anan kissed his son before departing, then bid him farewell.

Nightbreak Trickster watched her back as he hugged his phone worriedly. Should he tell her that Mommy was going to be taken away from him?

Ji An got into the car and apologised to Xie Langxuan. "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"I just arrived too." Xie Langxuan replied with a smile.

"Then what do you want to eat today? "Choose a place, I'll pay the bill." Ji An asked as he fastened his seatbelt.

"Since you said so, then I'll do as you say. There's a place I've always wanted to eat …" He said this with some hesitation.

Before he finished speaking, Ji An laughed. "Then choosing a day is better than hitting the sun. I've brought enough money with me anyways. I'm not afraid of you eating your fill."

The corners of Xie Langxuan's lips curled into a gentle smile. "You're too empathetic."

"There's no other way. Kindness is my virtue." "Alright." Ning smiled as he tilted his head.

He couldn't help but laugh when he saw the smile on her face, unlike the depressed expression she had in the room that day.

He knew that she no longer had the reason for their previous estrangement, but rather she felt guilty about the sudden departure from the table the previous two times.

But so what? Being able to get close to her was a huge boost to him.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped on an old street.

Ji Anan alighted from the carriage and felt that the scene before her eyes was somewhat familiar. There were people selling Liangpi on the streets and alleyways, people selling skewers of incense, and people rolling out noodles …

People came and went, and there was an endless stream of people in front of the shop.

Xie Langxuan walked to her side and stood still. Seeing the perplexity in her eyes, he sighed in his heart. It has been so many years, she should not be able to remember this, right?

At this moment, Ji An suddenly pointed in a direction and exclaimed, "If I remember correctly, there's a wonton shop in the third shop from the left. It's very authentic and delicious!"

The smile in Xie Langxuan's eyes widened. "Your memory is really good."

Ji Anan felt embarrassed by the praise, but felt that something was off. He raised his head and asked, "You mean that you've been here before?"

Xie Langxuan's gaze softened as he looked into her puzzled eyes. "Yes, I came to A City eight years ago."

"So that's how it is. I didn't expect that we would eat at the same restaurant. It's not easy to find one here." He turned his head to stare at the street, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

However, Xie Langxuan's gaze did not leave her. He gently smiled. He was not the one who found this shop, but rather, he had followed her here all those years ago.

They walked into the alley side by side, looking for the old wonton shop.

"Were you on a trip or were you in the office? "But you were young then." Ji An was afraid that the two would feel awkward in this awkward silence, so he didn't try to find anything to say.

Xie Langxuan could sense her wariness, so he pretended not to notice it as he slowly spoke.

"At that time, I was in my sophomore year. My parents came to A City on a business trip, and there was an accident along the way. I only came when I received the news."

"Then your parents?"

Xie Langxuan whispered, "My father died in vain due to rescue, and my mother had been in a coma for a month. The hospital sent out a few medical notifications, but fortunately, the rescue was successful."

Hearing the sorrow in his voice, Ji Anan hurriedly apologized, "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked you. I reminded you of the past."

All these years have passed and I've already walked out. "He paused for a moment, and then looked at her with eyes that seemed to carry a gentle light," However, back then, I suffered the pain of losing my father and was also faced with the possibility of my mother leaving at any time.

Ji An thought that he was talking about the white robed angel, who was the hospital's medical staff. He couldn't help but ask, "Did she save your mother?"

Xie Langxuan shook his head and said with a rejoicing tone, "She saved me and pulled me back from the cliff. It was her smile that gave me the strength to be strong."

she asked. "Have you ever thanked anyone?"

"No, I missed her. I was looking for a chance to meet her, but she's already gone. "

"What a pity." Ji Anan said with regret.

That's right, it's a pity. However, he had found her again. Could it be a kind of fate?

"No wonder you came here to eat. There are many hospitals nearby, and they are the most famous hospitals in A City."

The two of them had already found a shop and entered, ordering two bowls of wontons.

Upon realizing that there was no vinegar on the table, Xie Langxuan instructed the owner to bring a bottle.

"Do you like vinegar?"

Xie Langxuan smiled without a word.

The restaurant's movement was very fast. Soon, wontons were brought over.

Ji Ann skillfully poured vinegar into the soup.

This scene appeared many times in his memory. Every time he followed her here, he would see her do this.

Even after all these years, he still hadn't forgotten her habit.

It was the only thing he knew about her.

He looked at the girl in front of him who was blowing a spoon of hot air into her mouth and eating the wonton.

He had also missed her for so many years, all for the sake of meeting her again today?
