Three years after our breakup, you came back to China, and I'm just giving up. Why are you cryi

The rain was still falling. Lu Hao got up from the ground and looked up at the darkening sky.

"Brother, from now on you'll have to bear the darkness alone. I'll take good care of Qin Hao; he has not only a mother's love, but also a father's."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Hao took out a cigarette, lit it, and placed the remaining half pack of cigarettes and the lighter in front of the tombstone to say a final goodbye to his old friend.

Having done all this, he showed no hesitation and turned to walk out along the winding path.

New graves bury the old, memories are the most poignant.

Looking back, my mind is filled with images of our youthful days spent side by side, those noisy and chaotic memories surging through my mind.

As I walked out of the Qinglonggang Cemetery gate, the rain outside had not stopped.

Lu Hao stopped, shook off the water droplets on his body, walked to the car by the roadside, opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, and casually took off his clothes and threw them on the passenger seat.

He wiped the rain off his face, let out a long breath, then took out his phone to check the time, sent a message to everyone in his family, and then pressed the power button.

Lu Hao gripped the steering wheel firmly, his eyes losing all softness, leaving only a calm and resolute expression.

He stepped on the gas, the car engine roared, and it smoothly pulled off the roadside, heading north along the wide highway.

……

Inside Fang Ruoyun's villa.

Xiao Xiyue and the others had prepared dinner and were sitting around the table, but no one had touched their chopsticks.

Everyone's thoughts were on Lu Hao, and the restaurant was so quiet that not a sound could be heard.

Just then, several cell phone notification sounds rang in succession.

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"

Everyone simultaneously pulled out their phones, and messages from Lu Hao popped up on their screens:

I'm fine, don't worry. I'll be back in a while.

That short sentence made everyone present tense up.

The group looked up, exchanged glances, and their eyes were filled with deep unease.

Zhou Mengmeng was the first to lose her composure, her face filled with anxiety as she muttered, "Could Lu Hao have done something rash and run away?"

"No, he probably just wants some peace and quiet." Xiao Xiyue shook her head, her tone firm.

"I think we should find him. If he has a moment of madness, he might never come back," Fang Ruoyun said solemnly.

Lin Ran frowned, her eyes full of confusion: "But we don't know where he went either?"

"I know where he went."

Su Yu's words drew everyone's attention to her.

"Lu Hao should have gone back to the Sunshine Welfare Home."

Xiao Xiyue frowned even more, utterly puzzled: "Why did he go back again?"

A hint of anger flashed in Fang Ruoyun's eyes, and she said reproachfully, "He promised me, how dare he break his promise?"

"It's not what you think," Su Yu quickly explained, dispelling everyone's misunderstanding. "Today I went with him to bury Qin Shou. He told me that Qin Shou's son is at the Sunshine Welfare Home. I guess he was worried about that child and went there to take care of him."

"Qin Shou's son? How come he's in an orphanage?" Zhou Mengmeng blinked her big eyes, looking completely bewildered.

Su Yu gave a wry smile, looked at the puzzled crowd, and explained the truth in detail: "Qin Shou had foreseen all the outcomes and arranged everything in advance. All the shares of Yuanshan Company were transferred to Lu Hao free of charge."

The moment those words were spoken, the entire table fell silent.

They didn't have much affection for Qin Shou, but at this moment they deeply sympathized with the heaviness in Lu Hao's heart.

In a man's world, the deepest bond is that of entrusting one's orphan to another.

Qin Shou entrusted Lu Hao with all the wealth he had built up over his life and his only bloodline. This trust was the deepest bond between men.

He was betting on Lu Hao's character, betting that Lu Hao would protect his only child.

Fang Ruoyun remained silent for a long time, then sighed helplessly and said with a sigh, "In the end, the most innocent one is that little boy who is only a little over one year old."

"Lu Hao said that Qin Shou said something to him." Su Yu lowered her eyes, her voice carrying a faint sense of melancholy.

Zhou Mengmeng immediately leaned forward and hurriedly asked, "What did you say?"

Qin Shou told Lu Hao: My son will not lack a mother's love.

After he finished speaking, the entire restaurant fell silent.

Everyone sat quietly, their hearts filled with mixed emotions. They all understood Qin Shou's scheme and Lu Hao's feelings at that moment.

After a long silence, Xiao Xiyue slowly stood up, said nothing, and turned to walk towards the second floor.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Ruoyun and Lin Ran also got up one after another, tacitly following Xiao Xiyue's steps, and the three of them walked up to the second floor together.

Zhou Mengmeng was completely bewildered. She turned to Su Yu and Ning Shu beside her, looking blankly, and asked, "What...what are they going to do?"

Ning Shu shook her head in bewilderment.

Su Yu smiled, slowly stood up, patted the two of them on the shoulder, and said gently, "Let's go, pack our things. We'll go with Lu Hao to welcome a new life into this family."

Zhou Mengmeng and Ning Shu suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly got up and returned to their rooms.

Half an hour later, the six women arrived at the villa's underground parking lot.

Fang Ruoyun, Xiao Xiyue, Lin Ran, and Zhou Mengmeng each walked to their respective cars and pressed the unlock button. The four headlights flashed simultaneously.

Fang Ruoyun rested one hand on the car door, a playful smile playing on her lips. She turned to look at the other three, her tone light and cheerful:

"Hey everyone, wanna play a round?"

Xiao Xiyue frowned slightly and asked calmly, "What are we playing?"

"Let's see who gets to the Sunshine Welfare Home first."

Zhou Mengmeng became interested and quickly asked, "What's the bet?"

"The stakes are... the head of this family."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiyue, Lin Ran, and Zhou Mengmeng all gasped for breath.

After a two-second silence, Xiao Xiyue looked at Ning Shu and Su Yu beside her, then said to Fang Ruoyun, "What about the two of them? They don't have a car; we can't just let them run after us."

"I'm fine, you don't need to worry about us." Ning Shu waved her little hand obediently, her face calm.

Su Yu smiled gently and nodded tenderly, indicating that she would not participate in the competition.

"In that case, I'll take it." Zhou Mengmeng laughed loudly, opened the car door first, climbed into the driver's seat, and was ready to go.

Lin Ran remained gentle and calm, raising her hand to open the car door, tacitly accepting the challenge.

Xiao Xiyue looked at Ning Shu and Su Yu, and softly asked, "How do you two plan to get there?"

Ning Shu grabbed Su Yu's wrist and whispered, "Sister Su Yu hasn't recovered yet and can't withstand the journey. We'll figure out how to get there ourselves."

Xiao Xiyue nodded and added, "Then please be careful. See you at the Sunshine Welfare Home."

After saying that, she got into the car, closed the door, and started the engine in one smooth motion.

Fang Ruoyun smiled faintly, got into the car, and honked the horn to indicate that she was ready.

The next second, three clear horn sounds rang out in succession, and the three responded to each other, officially starting the competition.

Four luxury cars started simultaneously, drove out of the underground parking lot in an orderly fashion, and sped off to the north.

Watching the taillights of the four cars disappear into the distance, Su Yu turned to look at Ning Shu beside her, who had a sly look on her face, and asked in confusion:

"Ning Shu, how do we get there?"

A mischievous smile flashed in Ning Shu's eyes. She raised her hand and patted her chest, her face full of confidence:

"It takes about four hours to drive from Nanning to Guilin, but the high-speed train only takes two and a half hours!"

Su Yu looked surprised: "Didn't you say you wouldn't participate?"

"That's called 'all's fair in war,'" Ning Shu said playfully, winking.

As soon as they finished speaking, a pre-booked ride-hailing car slowly drove up from a distance and stopped in front of them.

"Sister Su Yu, get in the car!"

Ning Shu pulled Su Yu into the car, which then turned around and headed towards the East Station.

Night fell over Nanning, and the drizzle continued unabated.

On the city highway, four luxury cars sped along, heading north at breakneck speed.

At the East Station, a high-speed train slowly pulled out of the platform, breaking through the night and heading north.

They headed north, all in the same direction, all to the side of the same person, all for their shared future.

P.S.: Everyone, the story ends here.

Thank you to Yifei and Daniel Wu for reading this far. Thank you for your companionship over the past few months, which has brought this story to a close.

When I first started writing this book, I anticipated that the protagonist would be heavily criticized.

Even when the first comment started cursing, I secretly felt a little smug.

Okay, that's a bit of a jerk move.

The ending of the story was already predetermined from the moment the pen was put down.

And just as initially planned, it successfully came to an end!

Although it's not perfect and has many flaws, that's life. Cherishing the present moment is the most precious time.

I don't plan to write any extra chapters; I'll leave it here as the most beautiful fantasy.

Thank you again to all the readers who have supported me. If possible, I would beg for a five-star review!

P.S.: As for the new book, I've already come up with a plan, and it's expected to be released before the end of the month.

As for the genre, it should remain the same, and I'll strive to write a story that's even better than this one.

Thank you again!
