“When are you leaving to go abroad?” Sheng Yize turned to Song Qingchen and asked .

Song Qingchen knew that he had sorted everything out for her . The card he had given her was a supreme VIP card that was recognized all over the world . He had gotten people to arrange everything for her down to the smallest detail .
He was really trying to make it up to her given that she was his childhood sweetheart, but he had never given her any hope of getting closer .
The more he did for her like this, the harder it was for her to give up, and the more it pained her .
Song Qingchen lowered her head . Li Fanxing had become her enemy now, and her only option was to leave the country .
“This weekend, probably…” she murmured . Sheng Yize nodded and said, “I’ll get someone to see you off . ”
Song Qingchen smiled bitterly as a tumult of emotions washed over her . It wasn’t a pleasant feeling .
She rose to her feet and found an excuse to leave . Outside, a small army of bodyguards were waiting for her .

She had begged Mr . Song for these men, fearing that Li Fanxing might come after her again and repeat what she had done to An Xiaxia with her .
Inside the ward .
Sheng Yize gave An Xiaxia’s hand a little squeeze . “Jealous?”
An Xiaxia snorted . “Why should I be… I’m much more magnanimous than you think!”
“Then why are you pouting, Miss Magnanimity?” Sheng Yize chuckled . “There, don’t let her bother you . In times like this, you really should play dumb and think about something else . ”
An Xiaxia was disgruntled . “Hmph!”
She brushed Sheng Yize’s hand off, snuggled under her duvet, and went back to sleep .

Her head was still dizzy from Sheng Qingyi’s slap .
Sheng Yize sighed as he gazed at the little bundle under the duvet . Although he called her “dummy” all this time, he knew better than anyone else that the girl wasn’t dumb at all .
For instance, she never asked what had become of Rong Che and Jian Xin’er, nor did he want her to know about those dark corners of the world .
I wish more than anything else that you can stay this innocent . That way, you’ll always be free of worries .
A week flew by . An Xiaxia’s condition had improved significantly and Sheng Yize was almost recovered .
That weekend, Sheng Yize received a phone call from Mr . Song, who invited him to have dinner at the Song family home to bid Song Qingchen farewell .

Mr . Song asked him to bring An Xiaxia along at first, and was shocked when he was told about An Xiaxia’s injury . He then urged Sheng Yize repeatedly to take care of her and let her have a good rest . He even had someone send some tonic to the hospital .
Sheng Yize arranged for a team of bodyguards both inside and outside the hospital to keep An Xiaxia safe . Only then did he leave for the Song family home .
The three chatted happily at the dinner table . Mr . Song apparently liked Sheng Yize very much and even asked the servant to bring up some wine that he had kept for years .
Song Qingchen smiled . “I’ll go get it . Daddy, Brother Ah Ze, you two enjoy your chat . ”
“All right . ” Mr . Song smiled gently .
Before long, Song Qingchen came back with the wine . The bottle was open and the room was filled with its rich aroma .
Sheng Yize had a couple of glasses with Mr . Song before the latter became drunk . He along with a servant brought Mr . Song back to his room .
After putting Mr . Song in bed, the servant went to get some hangover soup . Sheng Yize rose to his feet and realized he was getting tipsy as well .
That twenty-year-old wine was indeed very potent .
Dizziness swept over him and he put a hand on the wall to steady himself .
That random touch happened to trigger some mechanism in the wall!
There was a gliding sound, then the landscape painting which faced Mr . Song’s bed turned around, revealing an oil painting!
It was a portrait of a young woman with delicate features and a sweet smile . She was stunningly beautiful!
The look on Sheng Yize’s face changed instantly .
He wouldn’t have given it a second thought if it had just been some random beauty . But that woman in the painting looked almost identical to An Xiaxia!
