Huan Yu Group. Mei Feng Yuan

  The 'female' secretary who came out of the president's office had just closed the door when she was surrounded by several 'female' employees asking: "How is it? Is what I said true?"

  The female secretary nodded repeatedly, spreading out the file in her hand: "Uh-huh! There's a problem with this file and the president didn't even change his expression, he just told me to come back and revise it again!"

  Others were in an uproar, the usually icy and cold president had always been as harsh as a cold wind towards those who made mistakes at work, it was rare for him not to use his icy face to attack, it was truly a joyous occasion!

  It's said that the president was in a really good mood today, and surprisingly worked non-stop for an entire morning without coffee! Heaven knows that normally when working, the president always needs to drink coffee to stay alert.

  "Shut up and get back to your seat quickly!" The female staff member hurriedly waved her hand for everyone to leave, chatting at the door of the president's office, are you guys bored from not having overtime recently?

  Su Mo, who was being talked about by everyone, sat in the office staring at the photo in his hand. Five years had made him even more aloof and handsome, with any previous awkwardness worn away by time, leaving only maturity. In the entire simple office, he seemed like a person existing in a painting, refined.

  The photo in his hand was a young woman holding a little boy getting on the bus, and a series of pictures of her driving away. He stroked the woman in the photo and whispered: "I knew you'd come back." A five-year promise, exactly five years. Five years ago today she left, and five years later today she returned.

  She hasn't changed, still warm when she smiles, still stunning enough to make him amazed at first sight. What has changed is only time, fleeting and taking away too much between them.

  He spent five years searching for her through various channels, and found out that she was living in California, USA. He knew that she had given birth to a child, and that she had relied on her previous savings to raise the child until he was over two years old before continuing to pursue her dreams. Within two years, she had used her charm and charisma to rise from an unknown Asian actress to a Hollywood star. He knew that she had paid too much, and countless times he wanted to rush to her side to protect her, but he remembered what she had said.

  She said she wanted to give herself the most beautiful summer. She is working hard for her promise, and he can only silently pay attention and wait silently for the arrival of the five-year appointment.

  Min Cong went to find her, he wasn't unaware, and had even been worried, but in the end he told himself to believe in her.

  She had a feeling about herself, otherwise she wouldn't have made a five-year appointment. She knew he was waiting for her because every time he was interviewed by the media, he declared that he was waiting for someone. He was waiting for her, always was.

  The five-year agreement has arrived, and she has finally returned.

  "Buzz..." The phone on the table vibrated and buzzed, he stared at the photo displayed on the screen and subconsciously froze his body, then immediately picked it up and pressed the answer button. In that instant when the call connected, his whole body tensed up.

  "Sorrowful Ink."

  He heard the voice from that side, as gentle and sweet as he remembered, and at this moment, his eyes even felt sour.

  Summer Miao sat on the sofa, watching Noaman sitting on a sheepskin rug reading a book. She smiled slightly and reached out to touch his hair. Even though there was no sound from the other end of the phone, she knew he was listening. "Do you have time to meet up?" she asked. Time is the thing that can change everything. Five years ago, Su Mo loved her, but five years later, maybe not anymore. Even if this was a choice she made herself, she wouldn't regret it. Noaman was Min Yu's child, and she couldn't let Su Mo take on responsibilities that didn't belong to him.

  Su Mo spent five years proving that he had been waiting for her, and she was not unmoved. It's just that after five years of not seeing each other, perhaps Su Mo only had an obsession left for her, with love worn away by time.

  She will always remember Su Mo who would blush and look at her with a helpless and sad gaze, asking why she couldn't trust him just once.

  It was quiet for a long time before she heard the dry and familiar voice: "Okay."

  She hung up the phone and stared blankly at the sunlight coming in from outside. This was her old apartment, which she hadn't lived in for five years, but today when she came back, it still felt so familiar to her. Every place she saw brought back memories of the past.

  "Mommy!" Noaman furrowed his small brow, he didn't like seeing Mommy with this expression, as if she would vanish into thin air the next second!

  In the summer, Meng Hui's eyes sparkled as she looked at Noaman and Min Yu's similar eyes, and she smiled slightly. From head to toe, only their eyes were similar to Min Yu's, while the rest of them looked more like her. She remembered when he was born, looking at the small crying baby in her arms, who cried like a cat, and she burst into tears.

  A vulnerability never seen before.

  She has been through so many times, but only gave birth to two children. The last time was when Tang Yue personally delivered and took care of her, she didn't feel any pain or difficulty. This time, she went alone for prenatal check-ups and gave birth in the hospital, feeling desolate as if the whole world had left her behind like a noaman.

  "Mommy, Noaman will listen." Noaman looked up at her with a serious expression in his dark eyes. He didn't inherit his parents' gentle mask; he would use a cold face to reject others, just like Su Mo when he was young and immature.

  She thought, maybe Noaman would like Su Mo, but it's not certain.

  ----------------------------------

  Su Mo rushed all the way to Xia Tian Meng's apartment building before feeling a little hesitant.

  He didn't know what appearance would be best to see her in, he didn't know if she would still like his current appearance, and he also didn't know if the noaman she cared about most would dislike him.

  He pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, which had been worn to the point of being unrecognizable. On it, one could faintly see the words: "Five-year promise, let me become the best Xia Tian Moe."

  Compose yourself and open the car door.

  He will eventually go see her, no matter what.

  "Ding Dong---" As he pressed the doorbell, he tried to make his facial expression softer, even though his hands were shaking.

  "Ka!" The big door was opened, revealing a small head, with a watermelon-like hairstyle and a cold face that was so cute it exploded. He looked up at him, taking a slight step back: "Uncle, who are you looking for?" Although Mommy had told him in advance that there would be guests coming home, it was also possible that he had knocked on the wrong door! According to Mommy's thinking, she probably wouldn't have thought of this. Alas! After all, as the only man in the house, how could he not protect Mommy?

  Su Mo looked at Noaman and saw that his eyebrows and eyes were similar to those of Xia Tian Meng, and slightly pursed her lips: "I'm looking for Xia Tian Meng."

  Noaman stepped aside to let him in, his small body pulling the door handle had to stretch out his arm, he said with a straight face: "Mommy is in the kitchen." It seems that this uncle is very familiar with Mommy, usually guests would not make Mommy personally go down to the kitchen!

  Su Mo suddenly remembered the only time she cooked for herself, which was his happiest meal. But after eating, it was five years of losing her news...

  He won't give her another chance to leave again!

  Old Five! I'm here to apologize! Please forgive me!
