If Angus was an old Hollywood legend, then the person in front of him was Hollywood’s shining new star

  Bruce Gibson.

  He was Bruce Gibson, the young Oscar actor, and the man who had been in love with Xiao Li for three to four years.

  Xiao Li walked at the front and smiled at the person in the cold wind.

  Seeing Xiao Li, the man strode over. The two of them stood together, and Xiao Li stood under an umbrella. Then, she turned around and said to Suzanne and the rest, “The person who will be picking me up is here.” She added, “I’ll be at the wedding on time the day after tomorrow. I have some private matters tomorrow, so I won’t look for you.”


  “…Okay,” Suzanne replied weakly.

  At this moment, Bruce said to Xiao Li, “Take the umbrella.”


  Xiao Li obediently took the umbrella.

  Bruce wrapped the scarf on his arm around Xiao Li’s neck. Such an intimate action was surprisingly eye-catching for them.

  They were extremely compatible.

  This thought flashed across everyone’s minds.

  Even Zhuang Long had to admit that the scene of Bruce and Xiao Li standing together was very loving

  Zhuang Long clenched his fists.

  He heard Xiao Li say softly, “Goodbye, everyone.” Zhuang Long looked up and saw Xiao Li turn around and leave with Bruce arm in arm. From the beginning to the end, Xiao Li did not even look at Zhuang Long.

  As they walked further and further away, Zhuang Long heard their conversation. It followed the cold wind and blew into his ears

  Xiao Li asked Bruce, “Why are you holding an umbrella?”


  Bruce said, “It’s going to snow tonight. I didn’t know what time you were going to play until, just in case.”


  “Have you been waiting for a long time?”


  “I’ll be here at twelve.”


  “You’re so considerate.”


  Zhuang Long subconsciously looked at his watch.

  It was almost three in the morning, which meant that Bruce had been waiting for Xiao Li for three hours.

  Zhuang Long suddenly felt flustered.

  Everyone looked at Zhuang Long with complicated expressions. Zhuang Long saw the probing and concern in his friends’ eyes, and his heart was stifled.

  Ji Yinbing watched the two of them leave before saying, “I didn’t believe it before and always thought that their matter was just a rumor. Now it seems…” From Bruce and Xiao Li’s attitude when they spoke, their relationship was worth investigating.

  Zhuang Long’s entire body was tense, and his lips were pursed tightly.

  Yan Nuo also said, “Zhuang Long, if it really has to be her, tell her.” He thought about what happened between him and Ji Yinbing and told Zhuang Long as an experienced person. “Once you miss the time to expose your relationship, you will miss that person.”


  “When the time comes, I’ll regret it.”


  Zhuang Long straightened his neck and said, “Who can’t have her!”


  That was what he said, but on the way home, Zhuang Long said nothing.

  That night, Zhuang Long could not sleep.

  The next day, Zhuang Long had something on his mind and felt terrible all day. After the wedding ceremony in the afternoon, Zhuang Long could not help but run to the hotel.

  It was not difficult to find Xiao Li’s room information. Zhuang Long mustered his courage and ran to the hotel, but the receptionist told him that Xiao Li and Bruce were not in the hotel and they had gone out early in the morning. When Zhuang Long heard this news, he was stunned.

  Did they… go on a date?

  Zhuang Long returned to Suzanne’s house with a lonely expression. Everyone noticed his disappointment and guessed that he might not have seen Xiao Li. They knew better than to disturb him. Zhuang Long felt wronged and called his son.

  On the other end, Zhuang Qilin quickly picked up the phone.

  “Hey! Daddy, what are you doing?”


  Hearing his son’s Northeast accent, Zhuang Long felt better. “What are you doing?” He spoke in English.

  Zhuang Qilin then switched to his mother tongue. He said, “I just finished school and am on the way home.”


  “Alone at home?”


  “Yes, Mommy went to Switzerland. Of course, I’m alone.”


  “She didn’t bring you to Switzerland.” Zhuang Long asked Zhuang Qilin maliciously, as if he was taking revenge on society. “She went to play with Bruce and didn’t bring you along. Aren’t you angry?” “Daddy.” Zhuang Qilin seemed to have torn something open. Then, he ate as he spoke. He said, “You’re too insensible.” “Yes?”


  Zhuang Qilin said considerately, “Mommy has to be busy with their adults, so I naturally can’t go with her. Besides, I quite want my mommy to be happy too. As long as she’s happy, I’ll be happy for her no matter who she lives with.”


  Zhuang Long was upset by such an understanding son.

  “Don’t you like Daddy?”


  Zhuang Qilin added, “I like you. This doesn’t conflict with my support for my mommy finding happiness.”


  Zhuang Long was speechless.

  On the other end, there was silence.

  A moment later, Zhuang Long heard Zhuang Qilin sigh like an old man. Zhuang Qilin said, “Daddy, if you had known this would happen, you wouldn’t have done it in the first place.”


  Zhuang Long was speechless.

  “You ignored the former me. You can’t match up to the current me.” He said something especially pretentious. After saying that, without waiting for Zhuang Long to scold him, Zhuang Qilin said, “My mommy is doing quite well now. In the past, you were the only one in her world. I don’t want my mommy to be unhappy.”


  “Daddy, you have to understand that I love you, but I also love my mommy. Even though I hope that my mommy can remarry you, the prerequisite for you to remarry is that you and my mommy are truly in love. If you remarry for other reasons and after the marriage, my mommy will still live like a lost wife, then I…”


  Zhuang Qilin said cruelly, “Then I’d rather you not remarry.”


  “No matter who my mommy loves and who she wants to be with, I will definitely support her. In this world, I love my mommy the most.” Zhuang Qilin’s words were sincere.

  Zhuang Long understood as well.

  His son was actually very smart. He deeply understood what he cared about.

  In the past, he had only considered himself. When he was tricked by Xiao Li, he always ignored Xiao Li. Little did he know that the young Zhuang Qilin had already seen their interactions. In places that Zhuang Long could not see, it was always Zhuang Qilin who accompanied Xiao Li.

  He knew how lonely Xiao Li had been.

  He wanted his mommy to be happy, no matter who the person who brought her happiness was.

  Zhuang Long sighed deeply and said, “You’re heartless.”


  Zhuang Qilin looked out of the window.

  He was almost nine years old. He was no longer the ignorant child he used to be. He knew what kind of life was right for his mother. He hung up the phone and chewed the chocolate in his mouth. He thought that relationships were really fucked up. He would either not get married in the future or not get a divorce after he got married.

  The next morning, everyone set off for the wedding venue.

  It was a valley filled with snow.

  Everyone was dressed thick. There were many trees in the valley, and soft artificial fur covered the snow-white stone chairs. Everyone held red roses and attended the wedding according to what was written on Suzanne and Wei Xin’s wedding invitations.
