Yan Rusheng stood tall before the French windows . A pair of malicious-looking eyes stared at the tiny woman who was slowly disappearing from his sight .
A part of his body was hurting; it was . . . his heart .
He'd felt bitter for a few years over Fang Jiayin's departure . But he'd never felt anything like this before . To the extent that he'd wanted to forsake his pride to beg Xuxu .
Xuxu reached the roadside and left in a taxi .
Goodbye?
Yan Rusheng narrowed his eyes, and a cold gleam flashed through his eyes . The corners of his mouth curled with a wicked grin .

Both parties had already parted ways, but rumors of their relationship were still rife .
It rained heavily on Wednesday, and even the heavens didn't seem to be cooperating .
Xuxu was huddled on the sofa watching TV when she dozed off .
After some time, she was jolted awake by her phone .
She stretched to reach for her phone sleepily . Wang Daqin was calling her .
"Hello, Grandmother . " She placed the phone to her ear, and her sleepy voice sounded slightly sluggish .
"Xuxu, are you still sleeping?" Wang Daqin asked in a gentle and kind tone .
Xuxu rubbed her eyes and glanced at the clock on the wall as she replied, "I fell asleep while watching TV . Grandmother, why are you looking for me?"

Wang Daqin replied affectionately, "Silly girl, it's your birthday today . I'm on my way to pick you up . "
With those words, Xuxu felt her heart clenching, and there was a prickly sensation in her nose .
She hadn't forgotten that it was her birthday today; she just felt that the rain made everything seem a little sorrowful . Just like that fateful day when the natural disaster happened .
The sky was as gloomy as today, and the rain poured down heavily .
Her parents had left for work early in the morning, and that was the last time she ever saw them .
After she turned 10, she couldn't help but recall a fuzzy image of her mother on her birthdays .
The birthday of a child is the day of suffering for the mother .
She was struck with this mournful thought on her birthday this year . Perhaps it was because the weather conditions were similar to that fateful day years ago .
After some time, she managed to keep her emotions in check and replied cheerfully, "It's too troublesome . I'm happy to receive your blessings, Grandmother . "
"Do you feel that I'm too old to join the celebration?"
"Grandmother, of course that's not what I meant! Alright then, I'll pick you up, and we can go out for a meal . "
"It's fine, I'm almost at your apartment . "
"Hmph!"
Xuxu peered out the window— the rain was reduced to a drizzle .
"Okay," she replied and hung up . Then she went to her room to change .
She opened her closet, and the first thing that caught her attention was the gorgeous white princess gown . She stroked the gown gently .
The ring was exceptionally dazzling on her fourth finger, and it matched quite well with the white gown .
'Xuxu, marry me . I don't need you to love me the same way you love him, nor do I wish it . But I can give you what you want; happiness and comfort . '
She curled her lips as she brushed against a pink chiffon shirt next to the gown . Without hesitation, she took it out and changed into it .
She matched the pink shirt with a pair of white pants which ended at her ankles . She put on some light makeup and wore a pair of silvery wedge heels .
Such a lovable girl would win the heart of any elderly person .
Wang Daqin thought to herself as she watched Xuxu walking towards her . She felt despondent all of a sudden .
"Grandmother," Xuxu greeted her cheerily as she opened the door .
She kept her umbrella and climbed inside the car .
