Xuxu used a piece of tissue to wipe away the ultrasound gel on her tummy and then pulled down her top . She propped her body with both hands to get up .
Seeing this, Yan Rusheng swiftly helped her up . "Xuxu, be careful . "
Xuxu sat up and slightly struggled before Yan Rusheng let go of her hands .
The two of them followed the President to his office where he shared with them some of his expert knowledge and experiences .
After they had left the President's office, Yan Rusheng looked at Xuxu and tactfully asked, "You have not taken your breakfast . Let me take you out to eat . "
Xuxu replied, "I will take a taxi home myself . "
After that, she walked with hurried steps towards the direction of the staircase .
Yan Rusheng also hastened his steps and followed her . "Xuxu, let me send you home then . "

Xuxu faintly replied, "I want to shop around first . "
It was a busy season in the office .
Yan Rusheng knew that even though her tone sounded indifferent, she was definitely adamant . As he didn't want to anger her, he let her have her way .
He said, "Be careful then . "
But as he looked at her, worry clouded his eyes .
Yan Rusheng walked Xuxu to the taxi and retracted his gaze only after the taxi had vanished from sight .
Perhaps he was afraid of losing her, hence he took extra care of her .
He had lost her before, and so he had to be extra cautious .

But what did he mean by he had lost her before?
He hadn't even won back his wife .
…
It had been quite a time since she last stepped inside a mall . Xuxu took a taxi to the mall she used to frequent with her grandmother . After the first month of the lunar year, vibrantly colored spring decorations decked the mall, and there was a cheery atmosphere all around .
After Xuxu finished her shopping at the ladies' department on level two, she went up to the third level and unconsciously stepped into the children's department .
The first thing that caught her eyes was soothing and warm colors all around .
She saw a counter selling milk bottles and pacifiers . She walked over before stopping in her steps . Looking at the adorable stuff, her maternal instincts kicked in and she took two milk bottles . She was fondly scrutinizing them and was unwilling to let go .
"Hello, how can I help you?" A salesgirl came over and politely looked at Xuxu .
Xuxu smiled and shook her head . "I'm just looking around . "
After that, she put back the milk bottles and looked elsewhere .
"Xuxu!"
Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice but couldn't recall who the voice belonged to .
Xuxu turned around and looked towards the direction of the voice . A slender lady dressed in branded clothes approached her . It had stumped her for a moment before she smiled . "Miss Tang . "
She was Tang Feiling, the fiancee of Ming Ansheng . She's the First Missy of the influential antique dealers in the capital city .
But having not seen her for quite some time, she looked different . She recalled that her chin wasn't as sharp as before, and her double eyelids weren't so emphasized . Hence why she couldn't recognize her right away .
A short-haired lady, wearing a pair of spectacles and dressed in neutral gender clothes, stood beside Tang Feiling .
Tang Feiling trod towards Xuxu and chatted as if they were old friends . "We've not seen each other for over a year . "
Xuxu slightly pressed her lips in response .
"This is my good friend, Anqi . " Tang Feiling beckoned to the woman beside her and introduced her .
Xuxu smiled and nodded at her .
Tang Feiling asked again, "Since you left Flourish & Prosper, what have you been up to?"
Xuxu replied, "At home . "
Although she wasn't close to her, she didn't particularly like Tang Feiling's character . She's simple-minded but wasn't the adorable type . She's just dim-witted .
Of the few times she had interacted with her, she seemed to love being around those who had less desirable qualities than her so she could enjoy a sense of superiority . She loved others to pander to her and enjoyed being fawned upon .
