  She sobbed into Lu Yinan’s chest.

  Her heart-wrenching cries broke both Zhou Shuang and Lu Yinan’s hearts.

  He snatched the phone out of her hand and yelled into it, “Zhou Shuang, quit being so stubborn. Even if you’re not planning on returning, bring First Lu and Third Lu back!”


  Then he immediately ended the call, lifted his arm, and prepared to throw the phone at the wall in anger.

  But he decided against it.

  He clenched his phone tightly and gritted his teeth in menace.

  He didn’t know how to vent out his frustration.

  Suddenly, his phone rang again. He answered it without looking.

  Zhou Shuang’s name flashed across his eyes.

  He angrily picked up the phone, but his voice suddenly softened. “Come home. Jiaojiao misses you. I’ll bring her to the hospital immediately.”


  “Pass the phone to Jiaojiao.” Zhou Shuang’s voice was hoarse.

  But her voice wasn’t as strangled.

  “I……” Lu Yinan started.

  But he couldn’t get the words

  out of his mouth.

  “Lu Yinan, pass the phone to Jiaojiao,” Zhou Shuang raised her voice and repeated.

  She seemed to have run out of patience.

  “Don’t get angry. I’ll pass it to her now.” Lu Yinan immediately did as he had said. “Jiaojiao, Mommy wants to talk to you.”


  Jiaojiao was still sobbing in his arms.

  Lu Yinan placed the phone to her ear, and Jiaojiao greeted her.

  Zhou Shuang hurriedly coaxed, “Jiaojiao, don’t cry. Mommy will be back tomorrow.”


  “Mm.” Jiaojiao nodded and immediately wriggled out of Lu Yinan’s arms. She haphazardly wiped her tears, and she said, “Pinky promise. Adults must keep their word.”


  “Pinky promise,” Zhou Shuang choked. She paused and said, “So…… Jiaojiao be a good girl and listen to Daddy and Grandma. Go to the hospital and take your medicine, alright?”


  “Okay.” Jiaojiao lifted her head and said to Lu Yinan, “Daddy, let’s go to the hospital. Jiaojiao will be a good girl. Then Mommy will come home.”


  Lu Yinan’s heart clenched……

  N City.

  Su Yue stared at the photograph on the wall. It was a photo of her, Xiaojiao, and Jiao Chen.

  She was holding a glass of red wine.

  She smiled when her gaze landed on Jiao Chen’s gentle and loving eyes.

  He was smiling, and he seemed so life-like.

  “Jiaojiao, it’s been a year. Xiaojiao has grown so much taller the past half a year. She can reach the lights switch now.”


  Su Yue smiled, and her eyes glimmered with tears.

  She paused and rubbed her eyes before looking up at the photo and smiling. “Are you…… doing good over there?”


  She could only hear her heartbeat.

  “Will you blame me if I don’t spend New Year’s with you next year?”


  “Let’s have a drink.” Su Yue lifted her glass high and placed it to her lips.

  “You can’t take your liquor, so drink less. Or your face will turn red again.”


  Her eyes turned red as she stared at the handsome boy. Her eyes were filled with longing.

  Jiaojiao, if……
