She couldnât be too selfish. It would be a waste to let her sacrifice her life for the An family.
She had her own career to pursue, and Rong Lihua could not stop her. In the end, she only asked, âHave you decided when you want to leave?â
âIâve already bought a ticket for tomorrow.â
After chatting with her mother-in-law, Xue Yating returned to her room to pack her things.
On Rong Lihuaâs side, she found out that her wife was leaving Rongcheng tomorrow. She quickly called An Jichuan secretly and told him about the matter. She also told him, âJi Chuan, quickly think of something! Donât let her go. Once she leaves, wonât our family disperse? Binbin and Lele are still so young. We canât not have a mother for them!â
After hearing the news, An Jichuan was also very nervous. But he still comforted his mother. âMom, donât worry. I understand. I will think of a way to keep her!â
The mother and son were both in agreement. An Jichuan quickly drove back.
Xue Yating packed her luggage and Su Suâs things. It was a huge box. She did not take anything else with her.
There wasnât anything lacking in her Peijing house, and there was no need for her to take everything away. In the end, the box was filled with photos of her and An Xianming.
Xue Yating gently caressed her little uncleâs handsome face in the photographs, her eyes slightly moist.
Before she left, she should go see him again!
Xue Yating decided to go to the cemetery to pay her respects to An Xianming before she left. She said some heartfelt words to him.
Little Uncle, Iâm leaving!
Iâm sorry. I canât stay in Rongcheng with you forever.
I hope you can protect me, the children, and the An family. We will all be safe.
Xue Yating took one last look at the familiar face of the man on the tombstone before turning to leave. On the way back, she received a call from her mother-in-law, Rong Lihua, asking her to take a trip from Shui-Mo Lan Ting Residence to fetch Su Su.
Xue Yating did not think too much about it. She agreed and drove to Shui-Mo Lan Ting Residence.
It had been three years since sheâd last been here.
As she walked through the familiar door, memories of the past flooded her mind.
It was the sweetest time of her life, but it was also the cruelest beginning.
The man she had spent every night with was not her husband, but her uncle, An Jichuan. At that time, she did not even realize it.
Even after all these years, whenever she thought about it, she still could not tell whether the feeling she was remembering was An Xianming or An Jichuan.
The front door of the villa was open, and the furnishings inside were still the same as before.
She stopped at the door and shouted, âIs anyone there? Su Suâ¦â
Soon, Sister Ling came out and greeted her. âMadam, youâre here. Please come in!â
âWhereâs Su Su? Is she here? My mother-in-law asked me to pick her up!â
Xue Yating explained her intentions but refused to enter the house.
âI just came back from grocery shopping. I havenât seen Little Miss yet, but I heard something upstairs. Could she be playing upstairs? Madam, why donât you go up and take a look yourself? I have to go out now!â
âOkay, I understand. Thank you, Sister Ling.â
After Sister Ling left, Xue Yating stood in the living room for a while. She vaguely heard some sounds coming from upstairs before mustering her courage to go upstairs.
