Min Ye saw Sang Lian again when he returned to the Min's house. Now, Sang Lian had transformed from a chubby baby into a slender girl with a melon-seed-shaped face. Although her outfit wasn't particularly eye-catching, upon closer inspection, it was clear that she was wearing some famous brand. With light makeup on, she was chatting with Mrs. Min when she saw Min Ye and immediately smiled: "Brother Ye!" Her eyes were filled with surprise.

  Mrs. Min saw Min Xiao return and was also very happy, hurriedly beckoning: "Xiao Xiao, you're back?"

  Min Xiang slightly hooked his lips, walked over and handed her a gift box, smiling: "Because I saw that this 'jade' decoration is very suitable for mother, so I specially sent it. I hope mother can be healthy."

  Mrs. Min accepted it with satisfaction and scolded: "Really, we're all family and you still send gifts..."

  Sang Lian came over with a smile and said: "This is Brother Min's filial piety to you, isn't it great? He hasn't forgotten about you even when he's working outside!" Actually, she had never asked in detail about the relationship between Min Ye and his family members, but she knew that Min Ye was adopted. Now seeing how well Mrs. Min treated Min Ye, she also knew that Min Ye was valued in this household. As long as Min Ye cared about Mrs. Min, then it was necessary for her to curry favor with her!

  Min Xiang smiled as he watched Min Furen warmly treat Sang Lian, but his gentle eyes had no warmth. After a long while, he finally spoke up: "Mother, I'm back to get some things, I'll go up first."

  Mrs. Min nodded and watched him go up before sighing with emotion: "In the blink of an eye, Xiao Min has grown so big!"

  Sang Lian slightly turned her eyes, the little girl-like figure pinched her skirt, and softly said: "Yes, Xiao Gege is no longer young." Now he may not be as charming as before, but now he has an incomparable temperament. Such a him, no woman can escape his gentle gaze.

  Mrs. Min saw Sang Lian like this and was surprised: "Little Lian, so you..."

  Sang Lian nodded shyly and saw that Mrs. Min only smiled without showing any intention of supporting or opposing, so she said in a low voice: "I want to go up and talk to Brother Min, is it okay?" It's been more than four months since they last contacted! She didn't know what was wrong with Min Jin avoiding her like a snake, but she knew that it must have something to do with Xia Tianmeng.

  Mrs. Min nodded: "Of course."

  As she watched Sang Lian hurry up the stairs, her smile finally subsided, and her gentle face suddenly turned gloomy, with sharp eyes fixed on the staircase.

  Min Heng returned to his own room, feeling a sense of unfamiliarity and familiarity. He had lived in this room for too many years, yet he had also been away from it for too many years.

  He shook off the inexplicable thoughts in his mind, walked to a bookshelf on one side, and fumbled to open a small drawer. He took out a small square gift box from inside, and involuntarily revealed a gentle smile.

  He gazed at the pure blue velvet texture on the small box, as if recalling something from the past.

  "Knock knock!"

  He quickly regained his composure, took out the things in the small gift box and stuffed them into his pocket, then put the small box back into the drawer before opening his mouth with a calm tone: "Come in." His hands casually pulled out a book and opened it.

  Sang Lian opened the 'door' and came in, seeing such a scene.

  The brilliant sunlight outside the window shines through the glass and comes in, he stands there facing the light, the light outlines the side profile of his handsome face, the warm sunlight sprinkles on his body as if it has gilded him with a layer of gold.

  At this moment she finally understood Min's charm.

  "What?" Min Xiao didn't hear the voice and turned his head to look at Sang Lian, who was standing still at the door. Seeing it was her, he smiled slightly, "Little Lian."

  It was just a call of her name, but Sang Yu felt there was no more pleasant sound than this.

  "Brother Xuan, it's been a long time since I've seen you." Sang Lian pouted, blinking her round grape-like eyes at him, "I miss you so much!"

  She said it so bluntly, and that made him recall the smiling face of Xia Tian Miao. She smiled so gently and happily, her beautiful eyes were filled with him, and she said in a soft voice: "Ah Qian, I miss you."

  One sentence expressed his thoughts about her.

  Sang Lian saw Min Heng walking by in a daze, and upon seeing the book in his hand, she slightly raised an eyebrow: "Brother Heng, are you back to get books?"

  Min Xiang smiled and put the book back on the shelf, starting to gather some notebooks she needed. She chuckled and said, "Mm." Even if it wasn't true, there was no need to explain in detail to her.

  Sang Leng looked at Min Yu's still gentle profile but couldn't feel his gentleness, Min Yu had changed, at least towards her.

  He really treated her as a younger sister, which she knew, but now he was no longer the intimate younger sister, just the little sister next door, that's all.

  "Why?" Sang Leng looked at him with a hurt expression, her eyes suddenly filled with tears. She stared at him in such distress, as if she had never thought of it before. "Why did you suddenly become like this?"

  Even if she asks something unreasonable, she will realize that she is aware of her indifference.

  He smiled slightly and looked at her with a clear and unfamiliar gaze: "Xiao Lian, I regard you as my younger sister." Only as a younger sister, only ever as a younger sister.

  Sang Lian's face turned pale as she took a step back, watching him turn his head again to pick up things.

  In an instant, she suddenly felt a hollow and empty feeling in her heart, which began to ache.

  She wants him, always has!

  "Min Xiao, I love you." Sang Lian's voice trembled as she spoke, her eyes filled with hurt and longing as she looked at him. "I've loved you for a very long time."

  Min Xun's action of packing things only paused for a moment, and then he continued to pack the books on the table without even raising his head, saying lightly: "Then let's end it today."

  He doesn't love her, he has a lover.

  He didn't give her hope, which was the best decision for her.

  Sang Lian felt a dull ache in her heart, as well as jealousy and madness that almost covered up her rationality. She tried to remain calm: "Is loving or not loving really such an easy thing?"

  She's really hateful now! If her existence in this world isn't for Min Yu, then what is it for? Why does it have to be so hard? Why doesn't he love himself? Why is that cheap woman Xia Tian Meng still occupying him? Why can she be so lucky while I'm just struggling like this?!

  What for?

  Mo Yan heard this and just faintly curled his lips, without saying a word.

  Loving and not loving are indeed not one thing. Falling in love with someone only takes a second, but not loving someone takes a lifetime.

  "You're still young, you'll meet the right person, and you'll know who's really suitable for you." Sang Leng followed Min Yu out of the Min house all the way until he got on the car, when she suddenly came back to her senses, looked at him with a difficult expression after hearing his advice, and said in a low voice: "I only recognize you, what relationship do I have with others? No matter how good others are, they have nothing to do with me!" She existed in this world for him!

  Min Xiang looked at Sang Lian's stubborn and persistent appearance, only lightly sighing, but there was no pain or tenderness in his eyes, only indifference.

  "But similarly, I have someone I love, what does it matter to me if others are better?"

  At that moment, Sang Leng heard the sound of his own heart shattering into pieces.

  Watching Min's car leave behind her back, she clenched her fists and told herself, it's okay, there will be another chance! Definitely!

  On a warm autumn afternoon, the warm sunlight shines on the small flower garden with blooming flowers, white pebbles paving the path, pure white swing, and green vines crawling up to the top.

  A woman in a loose-fitting white dress with long hair down to her waist, barefoot and squatting beside a cluster of flowers, gazing blankly at the butterflies hovering above the blossoms.

  Min Heng returned to see such a beautiful scene, and he couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile. He walked forward and picked her up horizontally: "Don't you feel cold with bare feet?"

  Xiatian Meng suddenly came back to her senses, and naturally revealed a loving smile: "A Kang, you're back." The plain yet lovely face was filled with simple and pure emotions, as if her whole world was just him.

  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but lean down and give her a quick peck on the cheek, smiling: "Miss me?"

  Xia Tian Meng couldn't help but throw her head back and laugh, happily saying: "I want to!"

  Min Xun hooked his lips, holding her on the swing, watching her naturally protect her abdomen, and couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart. Now her belly was already visibly swollen, and it felt hard to the touch, it was really hard to believe that such a small belly of hers already had a child with whom he shared blood ties.

  In the summer, Meng leaned her head on his shoulder and looked at the lush courtyard, smiling: "A Cheng, take me out to play, okay?" It had been a month since she returned from the crew, and she had been staying at home for a month. Every day was spent strolling in the small 'flower' garden, pregnant with her, unable to touch computers and TVs for too long, but as a public figure, she couldn't go out even more, she was so bored.

  "Where do you want to go?" Min Yu rubbed her hair with his chin and asked, smelling the faint scent between her hair.

  "Switzerland." She looked up at him, her beautiful eyes reflecting his face, and he involuntarily leaned in to kiss her lips, drawing out the moisture from her mouth, his tongue deeply probing into her oral cavity, just kissing was enough to set his desire ablaze.

  With difficulty, he moved his lips away, looking at her eyes dazedly staring at him, and couldn't help but affectionately kiss the edge of her cheek, smiling: "Okay, let's go to Switzerland."

  She wants to go wherever he is willing, now he wants to satisfy any of her thoughts.

  She was willing to put her dreams on hold during her most beautiful years for herself and for her children.

  She stopped her gaze for herself and promised her remaining life to herself.

  She did it for herself, willing to hide and conceal, from being in the public eye to now living a simple life.

  She did too much for herself, and he could offer too little.

  He can only make himself better, more considerate and gentle, and then give this good self to her.

  In comparison to her dedication, he was too impoverished, unable to give more, only his complete self.

  In the summer, Meng looked at Min with deep affection, raised the corner of her lips, beautiful and gentle. She tilted her head up and kissed the corner of his lips, warm, soft, and fragrant.

  She said, Ah Qiang, you must love me like this forever.
