After Xia Nuannuan and Shen Zihao moved back home, Mei Feng’s attitude changed noticeably.

She would often ask about Xia Nuannuan’s welfare and tried to give Shen Zihao everything he needed.

Suddenly, it seemed like the tough days were over.

Until a week later…

Xia Nuannuan was at Shen Liangchuan’s villa, accompanying Xia Yehua and chatting with her.

“Is Big Brother still the same? Not talking very much?”

Deeply troubled, Xia Yehua replied, “That’s right. I have asked his psychologist to come over, but the psychologist said to give him time to sort out his past. Otherwise it won’t work.”

Xia Nuannuan frowned and asked, “What exactly happened between him and Lian Lian? He still doesn’t want to reveal anything?”

Xia Yehua nodded.

Xia Nuannuan lifted her head and looked at the room on the third floor.

Shen Liangchuan had been doing nothing other than sitting on the sofa, staring at each and every memorabilia from the past.

Those were the happiest times that he and Xiao Qiao shared.

But now, the happiness had gone and would never return again.

Xia Nuannuan turned to Xia Yehua again and asked, “It’s been so many days, is there still no news from Lian Lian?”

Xia Yehua shook her head sadly.

Sighing, Xia Nuannuan said, “How can a grown adult just disappear like this?”

Xia Yehua hung her head and said, “My gut tells me that it’s not that we can’t locate her.”

“Then what is it?”

The elderly woman glanced at the third floor, “He hasn’t really gone looking for her. I’m sure he knows where Xiao Qiao has gone to.”

After hearing this, Xia Nuannuan could only remain silent.

If one really wanted to look for someone, one would surely be able to locate the person.

Since Shen Liangchuan had not searched for her, it could be that… he had some unresolved matters in his heart.

She stood up. “Mom, let’s go for a walk. You shouldn’t stay in the house all day.”

Xia Yehua nodded.

They walked to the garden.

Gradually, Xia Yehua’s worried expression faded.

Breathing in the fresh air and feeling the buzz of everyday life took her away from the suffocating atmosphere at home. Her mood began to lighten up.

Looking at the garden, Xia Yehua suddenly said, “The first time I met Xiao Qiao was in this very garden.”

Xia Nuannuan smiled and asked, “Where exactly?”

Xia Yehua led her towards a little pavilion by the side of the garden and pointed at it. “Over there.”

At that moment, there was a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old sitting in the little pavilion. He looked down as he played on his mobile phone.

As the women walked to the spot, Xia Yehuan gazed at the garden’s views and told Xia Nuannuan about that first meeting.

“… Can you believe it? I was telling her how much I disliked my daughter-in-law, and she told me how much she disliked her mother-in-law. We said a few mean things to each other, talking about that person we disliked! In the end, we found out that we were talking about each other, and it was so embarrassing. But fortunately, we were both shameless, so we let things go eventually.”

Xia Nuannuan laughed till her sides split. “Mom, you’re too funny!”

As they chatted, the boy on the little pavilion suddenly spoke, “I say, ladies, could you lower your voices? I can hardly hear the caster speak!”

Xia Nuannuan and Xia Yehua immediately exchanged a glance and looked at the boy.

They realized he was listening to a Lot game livestream.

A caster was doing a live demonstration and her maneuvering was excellent.

The two women stood up and were just about to walk away, when they heard the caster’s voice coming out of the boy’s cell phone, “… We shouldn’t engage in this team battle, because we don’t have enough players. We’ll get ourselves killed if we do that, so…”

They immediately halted. That voice… Why did it sound so much like Xiao Qiao?!
