Yu Zhiyuan ended up staying at the An Family’s house, and Mrs. An even set up a small bed in Yu Zhiyuan’s room.
"Wanwan, if you insist on staying by his side, Auntie knows you have a good heart... but if it gets too tiring, let Zi Hao take over for you."
"Thank you, Auntie." Yu Sangwan rubbed her neck and nodded. "I’ll go take a shower first."
"Oh, alright."
As soon as Yu Sangwan entered the bathroom, An Zihao began complaining to his mother.
"Mom, why do you still let Wanwan keep watch? I can do it. Wanwan has school and part-ti jobs, it’s really exhausting for her."
Mrs. An smiled at him warmly, "Now you know how to care for soone? Tell Mom honestly, you like Wanwan, don’t you?"
"..." An Zihao was stunned, but there was clarity in his eyes. He nodded, "I’m clear now, I... do like her. There aren’t many girls like her in this world. I was an idiot before; seeing her every day, I didn’t realize how wonderful she is or know how to treasure her."
"Ah." Mrs. An held her son’s hand, "It’s good you know you were wrong. Now that I’ve found a way to bring her back, it’s up to you to win her heart!"
An Zihao was dazed, "Is there still a chance?"
"People’s hearts are made of flesh, how could it be impossible?" Mrs. An glanced towards the bathroom and lowered her voice, "Besides, with your Uncle Yu here, Wanwan has to stay at the An Family for her father. Proximity to her gives you an edge—you just need to make an effort!"
An Zihao was longing in his heart, and he was well aware that Yu Sangwan had already broken up with Lu Jinxuan. Now that she was living in his house, how could he not be moved?
"Mom, I’ll work hard."
Mrs. An nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "Make the most of it."
...
Yu Sangwan had a comrcial shoot today. They were shooting night scenes, so she returned quite late.
During dinner ti, she called An Zihao, "Hey, Zi Hao... I have to work on the shoot tonight, so I’ll be back late. Could you take care of my dad for ? Sorry to trouble you."
"Sure." An Zihao agreed, and when he turned around, he t his mother’s probing gaze. "Mom, what are you doing?"
Mrs. An glared at her son, "All those clever tricks you used to charm those won outside, where have they gone? How co you’re so useless when it cos to Wanwan?"
An Zihao looked dazed and mumbled, "Wanwan is not like those won who only want my money. My tricks... they aren’t sincere. Wanwan wouldn’t like them."
"Then..." Mrs. An was exasperated, "She’s working overti tonight; has she eaten yet? Surely you can show so concern in that regard!"
An Zihao felt a mont of enlightennt, "Right! Mom, please prepare so food for to take to Wanwan. She’s eating boxed als on set, which isn’t good. She loves your cooking."
"Okay, I’ll prepare it right away. You go eat sothing first..."
An Zihao shook his head, "I’ll take it to Wanwan first."
Mrs. An was slightly stunned, and she smiled at her son. "Finally, you’re getting it."
On the set.
It was a milk tea comrcial, shot at the riverside plaza.
Lu Jinxuan drove his car, blending into the traffic by the riverside. He eventually ca here... he simply missed her too much! Just looking at those photos that Tang Yueze sent every day wasn’t enough to fill the void left by his longing.
He hadn’t slept well for many days now, his total sleep ti didn’t even match a normal night’s worth. Lu Jinxuan knew he was reaching his limit!
Before eting Yu Sangwan, he had struggled with insomnia for years but had managed with dication and therapy. Now... even those were useless! Whenever he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with her. Smiling, crying, scolding, and even unrestrainedly teasing him.
At this mont, through the crowd, Lu Jinxuan could see her tiny face, lifted up, as she spoke politely with soone.
This late hour, has she eaten? She looked thinner... did she not eat well? The als on set are so small, and that little girl has such a big appetite, plus she’s a carnivore. When they were together, if she didn’t get at for a al, she’d protest by not letting him ’eat at’ at night!
Lu Jinxuan glanced around. There was a restaurant by the roadside. He opened the car door and walked over.
"Sir, what do you need?"
Lu Jinxuan nodded slightly, ordered a few dishes Yu Sangwan liked, and pointed across the street, "Deliver these to the set later for a girl nad ’Yu Sangwan.’"
"Sure, sir." The staff took his money, nodded, and smiled in agreent.
After doing these, Lu Jinxuan returned to his car. His phone vibrated in his pocket; it was a call from Tang Yueze.
"Speak."
"Young Master! Madam is here!" Tang Yueze sounded urgent, "She heard you’ve stopped treatnt, haven’t been sleeping well for days... she’s coming to take you back to Holy City! Madam has already tracked your car license plate and is heading to the riverside now!"
Lu Jinxuan frowned but was unconcerned, "Let her do as she pleases!"
Suddenly, soone entered his line of sight... it was An Zihao!
"Wanwan, do you have so ti now?" An Zihao reached the set, holding a thermal lunch box, looking both flattering and cautious.
Yu Sangwan frowned slightly, "Zi Hao, you’re doing these..."
"I know." An Zihao hurriedly explained, "I have no expectations, I just wanted to bring you a al... Don’t you like my mom’s ribs? You’ve always been a at lover since you were a kid."
"..." Yu Sangwan sighed and nodded, "Alright, thank you."
Unexpectedly! Lu Jinxuan’s grip on the steering wheel tightened suddenly... they got together? How long had it been since they broke up? And she had already rekindled an old fla? Thinking back to the day An Zihao went to the island to save her, now in her eyes, wasn’t he just a complete jerk, a devil?
And An Zihao was just the person who saved her?
The food was ready at the restaurant, and the delivery person carried the al boxes towards the set.
Lu Jinxuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he hastily got out of the car. His initial intention was to stop the delivery, but a car suddenly stopped in front of him, blocking his path.
The car door opened, and the elegant and noble Mrs. Lu stood before him, smiling broadly. "Son, where are you heading?"
Lu Jinxuan lowered his gaze to his mother, his eyes bloodshot, saying nothing but clenching his fists tightly.
"You really don’t want to see ?" Mrs. Lu chuckled softly, "I didn’t separate you from your little lover. Wasn’t this the path you two chose?"
Lu Jinxuan had no retort, but he genuinely didn’t want to discuss these matters with his mother at this mont.
"Son." Mrs. Lu suddenly dropped her smile and said seriously, "Co back with ; you must get treatnt! Since you broke up, you have to accept reality... If you continue down this path, you’ll drain yourself dry. Son, Mom is worried about you!"
Lu Jinxuan turned a deaf ear, his eyes catching sight of An Zihao using a napkin to wipe the corner of Yu Sangwan’s mouth.
Yu Sangwan was poking at the food in the bowl and didn’t dodge.
"..." Lu Jinxuan’s blood surged, and his vision went black as he fell to the ground with a ’thud’!
