The familiar tone just drifted into Su Xiaong’s ears, making her dazed for a mont.
"...Oh, thank you."
The words that ca out beca dry.
This ti last year, she almost hated Ren Yixuan to the core.
Childhood sweethearts, innocent playmates, in the end, it all turned into an illusory dream.
Sotis... she would think of Ren Yixuan, and whenever she did, her heart felt empty.
Now eting again, after more than half a year, her heart no longer harbors resentnt towards him, recalling bits and pieces of the past...
She realized that she should feel more guilt towards him.
She took a deep breath and was just about to turn around and say to Ren Yixuan... let’s have a al together soti—
But a sweet female voice rang out behind her, "Yixuan!"
Ren Yixuan looked at the woman running towards him and smiled as he opened his arms.
Rong Qiao disregarded the occasion and jumped onto Ren Yixuan.
Ren Yixuan reacted swiftly and caught Rong Qiao...
"I was on ti, right?"
"Yes."
"Who was that woman? Just returned, and already attracting bees and butterflies?"
Rong Qiao’s voice was a bit sharp, and she spoke without reservation, so even Su Xiaong, who was separated by about a dozen steps, heard it clearly.
The desire to turn around dissipated with the appearance of the woman.
And when Ren Yixuan said, "I don’t know her, don’t talk nonsense, people might hear..."
Su Xiaong couldn’t help but laugh self-deprecatingly.
It seed she was the only one who had let go.
Not knowing... those simple three words made Su Xiaong fully understand the aning of an irreparable broken mirror.
"Hehe, let’s go, I’ve booked a nice restaurant for dinner."
"...Okay."
Ren Yixuan’s tone was utterly doting, even from a distance, Su Xiaong could hear it and sense it...
This... was already quite good.
At least, when eting, there was not much resentnt between them.
But it’s impossible to return to the good feelings of the past.
On the other side, Yin Shixiu and a few partners erged from the passage...
"President Yin, the political situation abroad is becoming increasingly turbulent, causing the economy to fluctuate..."
"We’ll have to trouble President Yin to put in more effort afterward."
Yin Shixiu nodded, "Don’t worry, this case has required considerable effort and ti from everyone, I’ll naturally keep a close watch."
As he spoke, his eyes had already glanced at Su Xiaong, who was not far away, talking to Ren Yixuan...
Seeing Ren Yixuan, Yin Shixiu wasn’t surprised.
The company had already encountered Ren Yixuan when bidding in London this ti...
He just didn’t expect to et at the airport as well.
With the arrival of another woman, Yin Shixiu squinted his eyes slightly—
Rong Qiao?
Then he smirked, so that’s how it is.
Ren Yixuan and Rong Qiao left together, while Su Xiaong stood facing away from their direction, alone... not moving for a long ti.
Yin Shixiu’s eyes slightly darkened.
"President Yin?"
The man standing next to Yin Shixiu was his long-term partner, surnad Lu.
He followed Yin Shixiu’s gaze and asked sowhat puzzled.
However, Yin Shixiu did not respond, he rely called out in the direction of Su Xiaong, "Xiao ng."
Su Xiaong turned around at the sound, saw her husband still standing in the exit passage, and instantly broke into a brilliant smile, jogging over in her high heels.
She eagerly awaited his slow approach.
As soon as he stepped out of the exit, she dashed over, hugging her husband tightly.
"Uncle! I’ve been waiting for you for so long!"
Su Xiaong frowned, acting spoiled without caring about others.
"Ahem ahem..."
She hadn’t realized that Yin Shixiu didn’t co out alone but was accompanied by several companions.
Boss Lu, with his thick eyebrows, lightly coughed twice and then looked at Su Xiaong with a smile.
Su Xiaong blinked her eyes, seeing several people looking at her... montarily baffled.
Her face turned red as she hid next to Yin Shixiu.
"President Yin, who is this...?"
Boss Lu couldn’t help but speak first and asked.
Yin Shixiu smiled as he smoothed his wife’s hair, his eyes soft, just about to speak—
"I’m his daughter."
Su Xiaong peeked her little head from his side, her face red, playfully said.
Boss Lu was stunned, and the few people next to Yin Shixiu were equally dumbfounded... each actually seed to truly believe what Su Xiaong said.
Seeing these big bosses being fooled by her, Su Xiaong couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
"Uncle, you’re really old..."
Yin Shixiu didn’t get angry either.
Over there, as Boss Lu observed the affectionate expressions between the two, he quickly understood the relationship between them.
"My wife, Su Xiaong."
Yin Shixiu also tily resolved the joke, holding Su Xiaong’s shoulder, introducing her to the people around him.
"This is President Lu, Boss Qin, and Manager Hua, all top-notch business people."
Yin Shixiu introduced these people to Su Xiaong.
Su Xiaong stepped forward, nodded slightly, and extended her small hand, "Hello, I’m Su Xiaong."
"Mrs. Yin, it’s a pleasure to et you. President Yin has often ntioned you, seeing is indeed believing."
President Lu lightly shook her hand and then released it, "Mrs. Yin, you’re truly beautiful, no wonder you caught President Yin’s eye."
Su Xiaong’s face remained flushed, she said little, quietly tugging on Yin Shixiu’s sleeve...
Hinting that it was about ti to leave.
Yin Shixiu said to those around him, "Xiao ng and I will leave first, we’ll discuss work matters at the company, President Lu, let’s arrange another eting."
"Alright, take care, President Yin, Mrs. Yin, next ti President Yin brings you along, I’m treating you to dinner."
Boss Lu said boldly.
Su Xiaong nodded, shy but still gracefully waved goodbye to the group and said farewell.
Yin Shixiu walked away with Su Xiaong in his arms.
Boss Lu watched their backs and said to President Qin beside him, "Even soone like Yin Shixiu prefers the young ones."
"What’s her background? I can’t see anything special..."
"Hush, keep that thought to yourself, don’t say it out loud. If she didn’t have so background, would Yin Shixiu even consider her? He’s not a fool."
Boss Lu said, then walked with President Qin and Manager Hua in another direction.
"Uncle, are you hungry?"
Su Xiaong blinked and asked him.
The two exited the airport, hailed a taxi, and headed to the hotel they previously booked.
Yin Shixiu turned his head to look at the woman who had dressed up deliberately today, softly mouthed, "Not really... Is our daughter hungry?"
Su Xiaong, seeing he still rembered that joke, mischievously nudged Yin Shixiu’s abdon with her elbow, "It was just a joke!"
Yin Shixiu leaned close to her ear, "No worries, daughter, tonight I’ll have you calling Dad."
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaong’s mind was flooded with all sorts of inappropriate, chaotic images.
She glared at Yin Shixiu.
There was a taxi driver present, after all.
Yin Shixiu crossed his arms, closed his eyes for a mont, then looked at Su Xiaong, asking, "What were you standing there for just now?"
"Huh? Oh..."
Su Xiaong hurriedly said, "I didn’t even get a chance to tell you, I ran into an eight-year-old boy just now..."
She enthusiastically recounted the situation she encountered at the airport to Yin Shixiu.
Yet from start to finish, she never ntioned the na "Ren Yixuan."
"Why are you looking at like that? You don’t believe ?"
Yin Shixiu wore a faint smile, making Su Xiaong uncomfortable.
"No, the security caught up with that boy, what happened next?"
"After that, I had the security take the boy to the police station. I think he... might be an orphan."
Su Xiaong continued, "He said he just thought my ring was pretty, so he took it. I don’t think so; he’s definitely a repeat offender, an eight-year-old wouldn’t be that clever..."
"Oh?"
"I think there’s surely soone behind him directing him."
"And if not?"
"Then it’s better to send him to the police station. The police will get to the bottom of it and take the necessary actions."
Su Xiaong shrugged, saying.
Yin Shixiu raised his hand to ruffle her hair, "I thought you would definitely ask the security to let the boy go."
"How co you’re like—"
Su Xiaong instinctively began to say, but bit her tongue halfway through and swallowed the rest of the sentence.
"What?"
Yin Shixiu’s eyes narrowed.
Su Xiaong shook her head, "Nothing, I also thought I’d have the security let the boy go..."
She wasn’t sure what she was avoiding, she just didn’t want to bring up Ren Yixuan in front of Yin Shixiu.
Maybe it wasn’t just about not ntioning Ren Yixuan in front of Yin Shixiu; she didn’t want to remind herself either.
Childhood companions from such an innocent ti, now reduced to strangers.
The complexity of such feelings is overwhelming...
It’s probably for the best not to ntion it, because truthfully, there was a ti she nearly beca Ren Yixuan’s girlfriend.
Mmm... It’s like she doesn’t want to hear too much about Yin Shixiu’s ex-girlfriends either.
But Su Xiaong doesn’t realize, this approach, in Yin Shixiu’s eyes... has much deeper implications.
For Su Xiaong, Ren Yixuan is a persistent, unresolved presence, yet for Yin Shixiu?
If Yin Shixiu were to bear a grudge towards anyone for Su Xiaong’s sake, it would undoubtedly be Ren Yixuan.
After all...
Those childhood companions in love, he pried apart with his own hands, and he even knows that if Su Xiaong hadn’t t him.
In the end, she would have been with Ren Yixuan.
Yin Shixiu stretched lazily, then leaned his head on Su Xiaong’s shoulder, "I’ll rest for a bit, call when we arrive."
"...Okay."
Su Xiaong responded, straightening her small shoulder to let Yin Shixiu lean against it.
She clasped Yin Shixiu’s hand, gazing out of the window...
She got married and had children, and Ren Yixuan also has a girlfriend now.
It seems ti indeed changes many things.
What once seed insurmountable has now been smoothed over.
Though the sight of a stranger may evoke feelings, it’s better than eting with past resentnt and grievances.
