Xirong Ziye knew that he had neglected Bai Yaoyao in the past. If she could really come back, he could accompany her to buy everything that she liked. He would go anywhere that she wanted to. He would do everything as long as she was happy.

He knew that for that to happen, he had to take care of his body. If he were sick, he wouldn’t be able to take care of her and pamper her.

Sighing, Xirong Ziye sat and began eating.

He had no appetite at all, but he started with a mouthful of congee to dampen his throat, and then ate bit by bit.

He felt rather sick eating and wanted to throw everything up. However, he held it in and ate his meal slowly.

After half an hour, Xirong Ziye only ate half a bowl of rice.

After a while, he heard the sounds of firecrackers going off outside, and he put down his chopsticks. His heart was growing lonelier and colder.

“Why are they setting off firecrackers outside?” The noise of the firecrackers would only make him miss Bai Yaoyao even more.

The more lively it was outside, the colder his heart felt. That feeling was so intense, and it made him ache unbearably.

The servants went to take a look outside and came back to report, “President, one of the neighbors had just given birth to a son. They had set up firecrackers to celebrate.”

Xirong Ziye became even more depressed. A son? He recalled that Bai Yaoyao had wanted to raise a son with him in the past.

Bai Yaoyao had even told him that even if he didn’t love her, she would still feel assured if they had a son together.

Back then, he was cold and had rejected her. As those memories came back, he felt guilty and began to cough.

“President, hurry and take your medicine.” One of the servants passed him his pills and water.

After taking the medicine, Xirong Ziye’s cough subsided. Rubbing his throbbing head, he shut his eyes.

However, just as he closed his eyes to rest, Xirong Ziye’s personal phone rang.

Xirong Ziye knew that when that phone rang, there would be news about Bai Yaoyao. He had looked forward countless times to the phone ringing, and whenever that phone rang, he would answer it immediately.

Regardless of how many times it had happened, and even if there were no news, he would still pick up the calls anxiously.

“Hello?”

“President, I have some news on Miss Bai.”

Hearing those words, Xirong Ziye felt his deadened heart come back to life. He also shed tears out of excitement. “Have you found her? Have you really found her?”

At that moment, Xirong Ziye’s heart raced. It was as though he was filled with energy and hope.

He was gravely afraid that he had heard wrongly. With his status as the president, he felt afraid too. It was because he cared too much about her that he had become even more cautious.

“President, I’ve found Miss Bai. She’s in Country X…”

After an hour, a private plane belonging to the president departed for Country X.

Xirong Ziye interlocked his hands and fiddled with his fingers. He felt nervous yet excited, and a wave of complicated emotions crashed over him.

Yaoyao… He didn’t know what to say after meeting her, and didn’t even know if she would want to meet him.

Nevertheless, even though he wasn’t sure, he didn’t care anymore. He wanted to see her immediately because he was scared that even an hour of delay could mean that he would lose her again.

It was simply because he had been looking for her for too long. It had been such a long time, so he thought his heart had turned numb. He found out now that his heart could feel alive again after hearing this piece of news.

He had too many things to say. At that moment, his mind was completely filled with her and how they had met when they were younger. It was such a pure and lovely time, and he recalled how wonderful she had been. However, he didn’t know if all Bai Yaoyao remembered was the nasty things he did to her.
