VOL.2

Wang Shuimo nodded slightly, ignoring the fleeting expectation in her father's eyes, and followed Tang Handong's footsteps to the study. She saw Tang Handong knock on the door and say: "I brought someone for you; please introduce yourself!"

She suddenly turned her head away, but soon turned back, her lips adorned with an exceptionally radiant smile: "It has been a long time. How have you been?"

At that time, his favorite thing was to go against her. Every time she refrained from something, he would tempt her with various snacks and delicacies.

Wang Shuimo gently pushed open the door. The light inside was not very bright, with only two lamps lit in the corner, casting a dim yellow glow that made the entire room feel even more spacious. Someone was sitting cross-legged on the European-style sofa, tall in stature, but the person was hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see anything clearly

After mingling in a crowd of strangers all night, Wang Shuimo felt exceptionally exhausted. Just as she was about to head to the lounge to touch up her makeup, she unexpectedly noticed Tang Handong walking towards her. Tang Handong was very polite and courteous: "Miss Wang, I would like to introduce a friend to you."

Does this count as a standard greeting for a couple who has broken up for many years? Yan Baiyao did not know; he only knew that her smile was annoyingly irritating. Having been together for so long, he naturally understood which of her smiles were genuine and which were merely perfunctory. The smile before him was one hundred percent a social nicety.

After a long while, that person still did not stand up. This person is extremely rude! Wang Shuimo frowned slightly and, facing that person's direction, inquired, "May I ask what you need from me?"

Now recalling that time, happiness was so extravagant

He enjoys watching her struggle with indecision while gazing at the delicious food, yet ultimately unable to resist the adorable sight of her indulging in it. He also likes the way she cuddles with snacks, nestled beside him as they watch movies and sports together

He had just been sitting on the sofa, carefully and attentively observing her. The woman before him did not resemble someone who had given birth at all; she appeared very slender, much thinner than he remembered. He recalled how she used to constantly complain about being too fat, but he never thought so at all; he enjoyed the soft feeling of holding her in his arms.

He slowly approached, coming to a gentle stop about one meter away, and said softly: "Hi, long time no see"

The oxygen in the air seemed to be gradually siphoned away, and Wang Shuimo's breathing began to tighten

The person then moved slightly, slowly placing the crystal goblet in his hand down. From Wang Shuimo's perspective, one could see his long and clean five fingers. This was a hand so beautiful that it could rival that of a pianist

In the study, several tulips air-freighted from the Netherlands are in full bloom. He recalls that she used to love buying tulips and placing them in the open kitchen of their apartment. As soon as one enters, those large flowers are visible, reminiscent of the happiness they once shared, vast and beautiful, yet fleeting.

Everything in the world seems to have vanished in this moment! ... Wang Shui took a staggering step back, then another step...

He finally stood up. The lemon-colored light elongated his figure, and his outline became clear at last. It was unmistakably familiar to her; she had once tenderly traced every line with her fingertips
