gxiao lowered his eyes to look at the little girl, his faint voice carrying a hint of threat, "Have you forgotten the consequences of disobeying the boss's arrangements"One minute minus ten thousand,...He just returned to the hospital from the airport. Hearing Li Xuexuan's urgent question, he glanced at the time and said, "He should be on the flight to Australia now."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuexuan couldn't help but be stunned.

That scoundrel, how could he suddenly go to Australia without even saying a word to her

She frowned, bit her lip, and asked, "When will he be back"

"He went to Australia to take over the family business. He definitely won't be back in the short term. His parents are in Australia too. If he finds a girlfriend there, he'll probably settle down and never come back."

Li Xueshan's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she said, "Thank you," and hung up the phone.

He Chao listened to the blind tones coming from the phone, a smirk playing on his lips. Brother could only help you this far.

On the phone, Li Xuecan clutched her phone, sitting there in a daze.

My mind is filled with He Chao's words, "I won't be back again..."

She turned her head to look at the unfinished painting, "Snow-Sealed Ink Bamboo", for a moment, then suddenly got up, grabbed her bag and ran out of the gallery, calling her housekeeper at home: "Get my passport to the airport immediately!"

Li Xuexuan didn't want to wait for the latest flight from the capital to Australia in the afternoon, so she booked a connecting flight to Australia. When the maid delivered her passport, it was just time for security check.

She was running towards the security checkpoint when her arm was suddenly grabbed. Before she could react, she was enveloped in a warm embrace.

The heavy smell of cigarettes invaded her nostrils, and Li Xuexuan was taken aback.

“Round and round…”

A hoarse voice came from above his head.

Li Xueren's eyes instantly turned red. She broke free from the man's embrace and slammed her bag against his body, "Didn't you leave Didn't you go to Australia to find a girlfriend What are you hugging me for..."

Yu Li stood there, unflinching, allowing her to vent, a profound smile playing on his lips.

He had indeed decided to follow his family's arrangements and even boarded the plane, but just before the cabin door closed, he remembered what He Chao said: even if you leave, don't leave with regrets.

He didn't want to live the rest of his life in regret, so he chose to make one last effort.

"You scoundrel! You've bullied me for three years, and now you just want to leave without a word How can you be so heartless!"

Li Xueyan beat him with her bag while accusing him of his wrongdoing.

The man's smile deepened at the corner of his lips. She was so angry that tears streamed down her face, "Damn you, you still dare to laugh...sniffle..."

What upset him most was her crying. She'd pull him over and he'd gently wipe her tears, "You said you hated me, that you never wanted to see me again."

Li Xuen rolled her lips and retorted huffily, "Well, I could say no to letting you kiss me too, but you still kissed me!"

"Different, Xuanxuan, now Shen Lue is back."

He knew too well Shen Lue's place in his heart. Shen Lue didn't have to do anything, just standing there was already a victory, and he, besides letting go, had no other choice.

Before she appeared, he had always thought that way.

"What does it have to do with you that he's back, so what are you trying to say now"

The little girl stared at him with red eyes, probably too wronged to speak, her nose was red too. She looked adorable.

Yu Li couldn't help teasing her, "What could I possibly mean You wouldn't like me anyway. Of course it's best to stay as far away from me as possible so you won't be affected by me and Shen Lue."

"I have no relationship with Shen Lue, I haven't liked him for a long time!"

Actually, she didn't know when she started disliking Shen Lue. Shen Lue had indeed left a strong mark on her life, but as time passed, the ink faded.

The person I cherished in my heart has finally become a fleeting glimpse in my memory.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

Li Xueren looked earnestly at Yu Li and explained, "I admit I have an obsession with Shen Luan. It's my first time falling in love with someone, and all I want is a clear and definite outcome. That's all."

The reason I'm not accepting you isn't because I dislike you, but because I feel that while I haven't completely let go of Shen Lu, being with you would be disrespectful to you.

For Youli, it was a great surprise that the little girl came to find him.

And at this moment, her words completely stunned him. He stared at her with eyes full of shock and disbelief, "Did I smoke too much Am I hallucinating"

She actually said she didn't like Shen Lu anymore...

She actually said she didn't dislike him...

Li Xuexuan looked at him with a mixture of annoyance and amusement. Her beautiful eyebrows were pressed together, hiding the joy beneath. She kicked his shin, "Does it hurt"

As noon approached, sunlight streamed through the massive glass curtain wall into the airport hall.

Light leapt in the man's black hair, splashing onto the girl's smiling lips.

Their gazes met across the space.

Just in the blink of an eye, Yu Li felt her heart skip a beat.

He leaned down and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. "I'm so glad I stayed."

Li Xuexuan returned his embrace, "Running away doesn't matter, I'll bring you back no matter where you are."

"Suddenly, I feel like seeing how you'd catch me. Or maybe I should take a trip to Australia Come get me there."

"Never!"

Li Xuexuan emerged from the man's embrace, clutching his shirt collar and threateningly warned, "Without my permission, dare to run around, I'll break your legs!"

At this moment, the phone suddenly rang.

Yùlí from his jacket pocket fished out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, answered it, and put it on speaker.

A slightly angry female voice came: "You were arranged well, and suddenly you didn't come. Give me a reason that can convince me."

Li Xuexuan nervously looked at Yu Li.

Yùlí held her slender waist with one hand and laughed, "Your daughter-in-law wouldn't let me come, saying that if I ran around, she would break my leg."

Saying that, he pushed his phone toward Li Xuexuan. "Come on, say a few words to Mom."

"......"

Li Xueren wanted to run, but she was tightly held in Yuli's arms, a teasing smirk on her face.

You filthy scoundrel!

Li Xuen leaned against him with her elbow and whispered, "Auntie..."

The person on the phone was silent at first, then suddenly excitedly replied, "Hey!"

"You heard me, you take your time and be happy. I'll leave things to you here. Goodbye."

After listlessly finishing his words, he didn't wait for the other party to say anything else before hanging up the phone. He then took Li Xuexuan's hand and walked out of the airport hall.

Getting into the taxi, Li Xuen still felt some worry and asked him, "Are you really okay not going to Australia"

Her brow arched slightly, a hint of displeasure in her eyes. "What Having second thoughts Want to chase me away again"

"I care about you, take it seriously."

The little girl's brow was slightly furrowed, her face full of worry.

Looking at her forlornly, a thin smile crept out of his throat. "Find some time, let's go to Australia. When my parents see such a cute and beautiful daughter-in-law, they'll definitely calm down."

Li Xueran turned her face away, "Go away!"

"I can't leave."

Yulian hooked her hand on the waist of the person in front of her and easily lifted them into her arms. Her proud nose brushed against the person's ear bone, "Xuanxuan, I've waited for this day for so long, my dream has finally come true."

Hopeless love, persisted for three years.

No one understands this feeling better than Li Xuexuan. She snuggled into the man's arms, silently holding his hand, her fingers intertwined with his...s presence.Mu Xing's eyes were wide open, staring unblinkingly at the face so close to hers. Finally, she saw her little uncle. She couldn't bear to blink.Only when that gentle breath became a frenzie...
