"Xuxu, if you don't mind, let me stay with you."

Jiang Xuxu was silent for a moment, then replied via voice message: "Thank you, Dr. Li, but it's not necessary."

If this relationship isn't exposed, Jiang Xuxu can still face him calmly; once it's brought up, it will be difficult for her to continue pretending to be ignorant.

She didn't listen to the voice messages Li Mo sent after that.

She moved house the day after her follow-up check-up, without even telling Huo Siyu.

Jiang Xuxu only answered Huo Siyu's call after arriving at her new home.

"Xuxu, I've been so worried about you all day! Where did you go? Li Mo said you moved."

Jiang Xuxu sat down on the sofa with the child in her arms and said softly, "Siyu, come over when you have time. I have something to tell you."

"What's wrong?" Huo Siyu asked, puzzled.

Jiang Xuxu smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just missed you."

"Is it because of Li Mo?"

A woman's intuition is always so accurate.

Jiang Xuxu smiled and said, "It's not really that, I just want some peace and quiet and don't want to be bothered by unimportant people or things."

Huo Siyu fully understood and supported her, after all, helping her restore her eyesight was the most important thing right now.

She should have realized it sooner; a woman as beautiful and gentle as Jiang Xuxu would be a threat if she had a man by her side.

"Xuxu, how about I bring you back to China?"

Jiang Xuxu shook her head: "No need, I'm fine here, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."

She paused, then added, "Don't tell him."

In order not to disturb Jiang Xuxu's peaceful life, Huo Siyu did not tell anyone where she lived.

She also quit her job at the manor, and in the days that followed, she spent her days at home with her children and listening to the news.

I occasionally visit art exhibitions; although I can't see the artworks, I can hear many insightful comments.

After returning home, she tried to draw some lines with her eyes closed, trying to capture the image in her mind.

Over time, she gradually became able to create a complete artwork.

Huo Siyu, who used to fly to see her every three months, now flies to spend time with her every month.

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Every time Huo Siyu came over, she could see her progress, and she felt gratified and proud for her.

Three years later.

Jiang Xuxu brought her son back to China to attend a charity auction.

The competitor turned out to be Gu Jingshen, who was bidding a high price for a jade bracelet for his female companion.

Someone offered: "Five million."

"Ten million."

Gu Jingshen turned the diamond ring on his finger, his thin lips slightly parted, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

It seems that no matter what price the other party offers, he always doubles the price.

The onlookers were talking about it.

"What's wrong with Mr. Lu? If you really want this jade bracelet, why don't you just light a sky lantern and bid for it?"

"Yes, it seems Mr. Lu is... waiting for someone?"

Jiang Xuxu sat down in the crowd with her son in her hand.

"Mom, that jade bracelet may seem ordinary, but it's extraordinary. Is this what you wanted to buy today?"

Gu Nianchen blinked his dark eyes and asked curiously.

Jiang Xuxu patted her son's head and smiled, "Yes, does Chenchen like it?"

"I like it!" the boy said in a soft, sweet voice.

Soon someone else raised the price: "Twenty million."

Gu Jingshen lifted his eyelids: "Twenty-five million."

Someone advised, "It seems that Young Master Lu is determined to get it. I think we should just give up."

The man who had offered to raise the price looked troubled and hesitated.

Jiang Xuxu smiled and stood up, then lit the sky lantern.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

At this moment, Gu Jingshen's pretty female companion spoke up: "Jingshen, actually, it's not that I absolutely have to have it, how about..."

Gu Jingshen?

In an instant, Jiang Xuxu froze, and long-forgotten memories were awakened in her mind.

All the scenes she experienced with Gu Jingshen flashed through her mind.

After a brief moment of distraction, she suddenly turned her head and looked at the man the girl was talking about.

Even though there was nothing in sight, just a vast expanse of white, she still stared intently in that direction.

He didn't blink for a long time.

The man seemed to notice her gaze, slowly raised his head, and looked through the crowd to Jiang Xuxu.

The person he was locked in a bidding war with was a blind man wrapped in a white veil.

Jiang Xuxu's eyes were covered by a thin white veil, so she couldn't see and could only judge her surroundings by sound.

She looked away, and her hand, which she had pulled into her son's, trembled slightly.

This time, Gu Jingshen didn't follow her; instead, he stared intently at her.

"Jing Shen, what are you looking at?"

The woman beside him asked in confusion, and following his gaze, she saw that Jiang Xuxu was already surrounded by reporters for an interview.

Only a slender, frail figure remained.

"It's nothing, let's go."

After Gu Jingshen finished speaking, he turned and left, and Lin Tingran quickly followed.

"Jing Shen, why did you leave so suddenly? That jade bracelet was Grandma's only keepsake..."

That scene seemed familiar, very similar to his past self.

Gu Jingshen did not want to compete with a blind man, so he resolutely left the table.

"Miss, may I ask what drove you to risk lighting a sky lantern to bid on this jade bracelet?"

"Because it was a gift from my husband," Jiang Xuxu said with a smile.

As Gu Jingshen reached the door, he wanted to go over and take another look, but Lin Tingran grabbed his arm and stopped him.

"Jingshen, let's go, Dad's still waiting for us to eat!"

Gu Jingshen glanced at Jiang Xuxu's location; her voice sounded somewhat like the cook he had abroad.

But how could she possibly be here? She's probably still lighting sky lanterns to buy jade bracelets.

He shook his head and left.

Jiang Xuxu ultimately won the jade bracelet for 35 million.

Touching the familiar texture, Jiang Xuxu's eyes welled up with tears.

Two years ago, she received a phone call from Jiang Rusheng saying that her grandmother had passed away after being seriously ill.

Gu Jingshen was not by her side at the time.

At that moment, Jiang Xuxu completely gave up hope and believed that Gu Jingshen was really gone.

If he were alive, he would never have missed seeing his grandmother one last time.

This is now the only thing she left behind, and she must redeem it.

Keep it safe for Gu Jingshen.

As for the welfare home, she arranged for the finance department to allocate additional funds to support it.

Snowflakes were falling heavily, and the wind was biting cold.

In the evening, Jiang Xuxu brought Gu Nianchen to the cemetery to pay their respects to Gu Qingxin.

People have already visited the grave; a bunch of white chrysanthemums sits quietly to one side, along with a greeting card.

She glanced at it briefly before looking away and bending down to place the bouquet on the other side.

"Nianchen, come, kowtow to Grandma." Jiang Xuxu led her son to kneel down in front of the grave.

"Grandma," Gu Nianchen obediently kowtowed.

On the other side, Gu Jingshen hadn't driven far when he subconsciously rubbed the ring on his finger, only to find that his ring finger was bare.

"Uncle Zhou, turn around."

Uncle Zhou hesitated for a moment, but still turned the car around as instructed.

"Young Master, what's wrong?"

"I left something in the cemetery, I'll go back and get it." Gu Jingshen's expression was solemn.

As he got off the bus, a light rain began to fall, and Uncle Zhou quickly held up an umbrella for him.

"Young master, be careful, the ground is slippery."

At the same time, Jiang Xuxu knelt down to tie Gu Nianchen's shoelaces while the child held an umbrella over him.

"Thank you, Mommy."

As they passed each other, Gu Jingshen was momentarily lost in thought, but quickly began walking towards the cemetery.

Sure enough, the ring was something he had accidentally dropped on the steps while chatting with his mother in front of the grave.

Gu Jingshen bent down to pick it up and put it back on his ring finger.

He smiled with satisfaction and was about to leave when he noticed a bouquet of pure white lilies in front of the grave.

It's exactly the same as the bouquet from three years ago!
