At this thought, Mo Xicheng lowered his head.

In any case, his life was a dull one.

Since it had made no difference whether he obeyed Yao Lili, he had learnt to compromise.

He smirked.

He had thought that things would be alright if he grit his teeth and made it through a period of his life.

But he could not have imagined that today, after so many years of compromising, trying to finally find some happiness for himself was too much to expect.

Who had ever seen a mother try to push her own son’s girlfriend into the embrace of another man?

Although he had long been disappointed by Yao Lili, what she had done now still hurt.

He walked for a while and then frowned. He looked at his cell phone and saw that there were a few missed calls from Yao Lili.

Frowning, he blacklisted her number without thinking twice.

He continued to walk along the sidewalk alone.

As he walked further up, he came to a sudden stop and looked straight ahead with an expression of disbelief.

There was a girl in the distance. She was in a simple white t-shirt and jeans, her hair pulled back in a high ponytail. Her back was against the sun and there was an energetic and positive aura around her.

A radiant smile with flashing white teeth, she was beautiful and adorable.

When he saw her, Mo Xicheng smiled instinctively.

The melancholy that he had been feeling just a few moments ago had entirely disappeared.

He realized that he hadn’t lost everything.

At the very least, he had her now.

He walked towards her, his large hands covering her tiny ones. With his low and resonant voice he asked, “Why are you here?”

She raised an eyebrow and said, “I escaped home today to spend time with you, so I don’t feel like going back. I thought I’d come and see you. Is your mom ok?”

Mo Xicheng’s pupils shrank back and after a moment, he gave a mocking smile and remarked, “What could possibly be wrong with her?”

Shi Nianyao was an intelligent girl and from his reaction, in addition to Mo Zhi’s appearance at the private room, she immediately figured out what had happened. She was angry but laughed in exasperation. “Really, your mom- nevermind. Have you eaten?”

Mo Xicheng shook his head.

She looked around and glanced at him. His mask and sunglasses were firmly resting against his face. It wasn’t as though they could just go to any restaurant.

Looking around, she took Mo Xicheng’s hand and said, “Come, follow me.”

She took him to a little garden near the hospital and then she ordered takeout.

Twenty minutes later, a piping hot bowl of spicy soup was delivered to them.

Shi Nianyao placed the bowl of spicy soup on a stone bench and gestured to Mo Xicheng, exclaiming, “Come over here quickly! You must be starving!”

The aroma of the spicy soup was exceptionally tempting.

At that time, there were few people in the garden.

Mo Xicheng looked around and then took off his mask and sunglasses. He stood there for a moment and stared at this girl, who never acted like she was better than others and didn’t care about her image as the daughter of a prominent family. He walked over and crouched down next to her.

She immediately took out the chopsticks that came with the food delivery and shoved them into his hands. Then she lifted the lid off the bowl of spicy soup and gulped at once, exclaiming, “It smells amazing! Mo Xicheng, hurry and eat up while it’s hot.”

Mo Xicheng glanced at her, picked up a fishball and popped it into his mouth.
