With a gloomy face, Jiang Jia turned around and left the dining room, quickly returned to the study room on the second floor, and uploaded the entire video of the BFA design competition on the internet. Seeing that An Ning did not agree to the marriage proposal, Jiang Jia was relieved, but the dejection and depression in his heart did not disappear, An Ning's rejection was not decisive, and one could even see some hints of hesitation, as if she was wavering between rejection and acceptance.

Jiang Jia, who was immersed in his rage, didn't realize that he had overlooked a very important matter. If An Ning's child was hoped for, how come they hadn't married for so many years?

An Ning blankly sat by the window. Country F belonged to a region close to the tropics. The weather here had always been very good, just like the local people's style. It was warm and beautiful, making one unable to help from feeling elated upon seeing it.

The backyard outside the window was filled with all kinds of flowers. This was the first time that An Ning had possessed such a large backyard. Every time she saw the dense flowers blooming inside, she would feel especially comfortable. There was even a large patch of grass in the backyard. An Ning and Tian Tian would often sit there painting and playing with each other.

It had already been a few days since the end of the competition, but perhaps it was due to the marriage proposal, the memories that An Ning had deliberately forgotten in the depths of her mind began to churn again. An Ning suddenly realized that she had never forgotten everything that had happened in Lin Zhou and Jiang Jia Han.

"An Ning?"

Xu WangWen's gentle voice suddenly rang out from behind him, waking An Ning who was immersed in her thoughts. A trace of panic flashed unnoticeably in her eyes, and An Ning smiled.

"What's wrong?"

As if the following words were difficult to voice out, Xu Wang frowned, only opening his lips after hesitating for a moment.

"It's been three years, you …" Do you want to go back? "

An Ning didn't even have a second to think. Her body reacted a step ahead of her, shaking her head firmly.

"No, I didn't."

Seeing An Ning's shocked expression, a trace of helplessness appeared on Xu Wang's face as she noncommittally shrugged her shoulders.

"Alright, I was just casually asking."

Actually, Xu Wang had lied. Ever since that day of the finals, An Ning had been in a bad state, and the smile on her face had been greatly reduced. Looking at it, Xu Wang was also somewhat anxious. After the competition, all the videos would be sent back to the country, which meant that Jiang Jia Han would also know about An Ning's news. From that day onwards, Xu Wang would often see An Ning in a daze.

When he first came downstairs, he saw An Ning sitting at the window in a daze, her eyes were filled with sorrow and helplessness, as well as a sense of grievance. That kind of expression was very familiar to him; when he first came to F City, An Ning was still immersed in the final act of resolution left by Jiang Jia Han.

She was at a loss as to what to say. The competition had also ended, and she once again returned to her idle state, where she would attend school every day. The time they spent together was getting less and less, and An Ning was suddenly at a loss as to what she should do.

When the video had just been sent back to the country, An Ning had thought that Jiang Jia Han would find a way to contact her, but until now, there was no news at all. Three years is too long, every day from a swaddling child grew up, perhaps, Jiang Jian has already had a new lover, forget himself.

"Mommy! I'm back! "

A small figure suddenly rushed towards them like a cannonball, directly jumping into An Ning's embrace. The two of them almost fell to the ground, with the perpetrator giggling happily.

Xu Wang extended his hand to pull An Mutian out from An Ning's embrace and rubbed him into his bosom.

"It's school time every day. Be good, don't pounce on mom like this!"

An Mutian turned his head, revealing a small, jade-like face. It was very similar to An Ning's, but upon closer inspection, his facial features revealed that he looked even more like a cold person. It was just that because he had yet to grow up, his small, round face hid his naturally cold demeanor.

"I already know about what happened at the BFA Competition!"

An Mutian smiled craftily like a small adult.

An Mu Tian had always liked him a lot, and he even held a bit of expectation towards the two of them. He was completely unlike other kids who felt that his mother would get married to someone else.

An Mutian didn't notice the change in An Ning's mood and thought she was being shy.

"Is Uncle going to become a father soon?"

Xu Wei's gaze instantly lit up as he looked expectantly at An Ning, waiting for her reply.

"Isn't having a mother enough? Is that why I'm always looking for dad? "

An Ning didn't know how to answer Tian Tian's question, so she pretended to be wronged and changed the topic. She noticed that Xu Hui's expression had instantly darkened, but she didn't like him, so she couldn't give him any sort of response.

"Where?" Tian Tian loves her mother the most! "

With An Mutian's intelligence, he immediately understood what was going on the moment An Ning changed the subject. She quickly stretched out her arms and threw herself into An Ning's embrace, coordinating well with the topic at hand.

Xu Wang had a gentle smile on his face as he quietly stood by the side watching An Ning and Tian Tian throw themselves onto the ground. He laughed until he was taken away by a nanny to wash his face and eat fruit. Only then did he open his mouth to speak again.

"There's a very important cooperation in the country right now. I have to go back personally."

"When are you leaving?"

An Ning used her fingers to comb her hair, which had been messed up by Tian Tian just now, and asked while biting the rubber band in her mouth.

"Tonight."

Xu Wang smiled helplessly and dotingly, then took out the rubber band from An Ning's mouth. His fingers inadvertently touched her petal-like lips, causing his heart to tremble uncontrollably. He quickly pursed his lips and suppressed the throbbing sensation in his heart.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xu Wang nodded and didn't say anything. The cooperation this time was very important. He asked An Ning if she wanted to return home. Other than that, he also had his own selfish thoughts. He might stay in the country for a long time, so he wanted to bring An Ning with him. He had also grown up everyday, so it was time for him to return home and take a look.

However, this matter was definitely on An Ning's mind. Since she had already refused, Xu Wang no longer asked his when he was planning to return.

Seeing his back disappearing under the boarding pass that read 'China's Lin Zhou', An Ning's heart was always somewhat empty. Everything was fine here in the F Nation. The place she lived in, the environment she lived in, and her amiable neighbors. However, An Ning knew that this wasn't her home.
