Ruan Xixia looked at him absentmindedly, almost drowning in the deep emotion in Ji Yemo’s eyes.

He always follows through on his words, sincere in his dealings; she knows that if he says so, it is definitely not a lie.

But... thinking of Miaomiao, Ruan Xixia curled her lips in self-mockery:

"Ji Yemo, if you had said this to me when you were sixteen, no, even when you were in your twenties, I would have been with you without hesitation. But sorry, I am now 27 years old. I have no obligation to wait for you in the same spot after chasing you for ten years."

Her voice was very calm. After listening, Ji Yemo let out a bitter smile and slowly released her hand.

"I understand," he said as such.

"Let’s maintain a friendship from now on, it will be good for us both!" Ruan Xixia’s smile was bright, like wearing a mask; beautiful yet carrying a sense of alienation.

"If this is what you want... then, as you wish." Ji Yemo bowed slightly, gentlemanly, "Miss Ruan, I wish you every success."

Ruan Xixia’s tears almost fell.

Eleven years.

They are no longer young.

Some regrets are inevitable, hard to let go.

The ferris wheel reached its peak.

Ruan Xixia cried.

In her reddened eyes, tears kept falling, Ji Yemo handed over a handkerchief, "Why are you crying?"

"Ji Yemo... you bastard, big bastard!" Ruan Xixia seemed to vent all her bad emotions on him, accusing, "Stay away from me in the future! I want to find a man who is more handsome, taller, richer, and treats me better than you, let him pamper me, love me!"

Ji Yemo curled his lips into a reluctant smile, responded with an "mm".

Off the ferris wheel, Miaomiao saw her with red eyes, ran over excitedly, and asked nervously, "Pretty sister, did brother bully you?"

At home, she would call Ji Yemo papa, but outside, she always calls him brother.

Ruan Xixia’s eyes fluttered, gathering a smile, fiercely saying, "Yes, it was him! Miaomiao, help me scorn him!"

Miaomiao, very cooperatively, pulled a face at Ji Yemo, "Brother shame shame shame! Bullying girls!"

Ji Yemo: ... Can I not be responsible for this?

"Well done, come on, Little Miaomiao, I’ll take you to shoot some beautiful photos~ Shenshen come along~"

Han Naisen transformed into the dress carrier, followed them, leaving Ji Yemo alone to wander in the wind.

Why does it feel like... the child is hers, and he’s the stepdad?

Shaking his head, Ji Yemo dispelled this thought, shamelessly chased after them.

Ruan Xixia taught Miaomiao many poses. The little girl was pretty and photogenic, with a baby-fat face that appeared particularly cute in photos, fitting the fairytale park’s style, like a little elf fallen to the earthly realm.

Tired from playing, Miaomiao clamored for food, Ji Yemo pondered for a moment, "There’s a good restaurant nearby, let’s go."

The group arrived at the restaurant, only one private room was left, Ji Yemo was about to speak when a melodious female voice came from beside him: "Mo Shao, can you let us have the private room?"

Ji Yemo’s gaze swept over, raised an eyebrow.

What a coincidence.

Liang Qianli, and his sister Liang Zuyue.

"Xixia, you’re here too." Although he lost his temper last time, Liang Qianli was still happy to see her, he waved a large hand, "We can all sit in one private room!"
