The next day.

After breakfast, Jian Si took her two daughters, Hua Kexin, Shen Wei and her two babies out.

Jian Sichen and Lu Yanbai accompanied them to the car, and only returned to their respective rooms after watching their car drive away.

Lu Yanbai took out his cell phone and dialed Leng Li's number for the first time in this year.

Because Leng Li always called him every now and then, he almost never took the initiative to ask about her situation. The first reason was that he was afraid that Hua Kexin would misunderstand, and the second was that he was afraid of giving Leng Li hope.

The moment the call was connected, he clearly heard Leng Li's voice trembling with excitement.

"Xiao, Xiaobai, you finally contacted me! I thought...I thought you would never contact me again!"

Her words made Lu Yanbai feel a little bit uncomfortable.

Never initiate contact.

Once we get in touch, I will completely cut off all ties with her.

He is really cruel.

But on the road of love, you have to be cruel.

Since you don't love each other anymore, you have to cut the Gordian knot and make things clear, otherwise three people will get hurt.

Procrastination is not his style.

"Where are you now? Can we meet?"

Leng Li immediately said, "Okay, okay, I just arrived at the store, I'll ask the manager for leave! Where shall we meet?"

Lu Yanbai asked worriedly, "You are at work now? How about changing the time? Choose a time when you get off work?"

Leng Li couldn't wait to see him, and immediately said, "No need, I've been here for a year and a half, and I only took a day off last time because I caught a cold. I never take a day off normally, and I have a lot of vacation time! I'll take a day off today, the manager won't refuse!"

Because of her hard work and diligence, she was promoted to store manager after just six months of work.

The performance has always been the best in the store.

The manager thinks highly of her.

If she asked for leave once or twice occasionally, her manager would not refuse. Instead, he would think that she should take more rest.

"Uh..." Lu Yanbai really wanted to make things clear with her as soon as possible, so he didn't refuse and said in a deep voice: "Sure! Where do you want to meet? I'll find you."

Leng Li immediately said, "I work here in Haotian Building. Let's meet at the coffee shop on the third floor! I'll wait for you at the window seat. You can see me as soon as you stand at the door."

Lu Yanbai readily agreed: "Okay! See you in an hour."

It takes about forty minutes to get from Yuting Mansion to Haotian Building.

If you walk there, it will take about five minutes.

Arriving fifteen minutes early is just the right time.

After ending the call, Lu Yanbai opened the closet, found a white casual outfit to change into, took his cell phone and car keys and went out.

On the other side, the cafe.

Leng Li sat by the window, holding a coffee cup in her right hand and a spoon in her right hand. She stirred the coffee in the cup with the spoon while glancing outside the glass from time to time.

Although they said they would meet in an hour, she felt that time was passing so slowly.

At this moment, she finally understood what it meant to live every day like a year and what it meant to miss someone so much that a day feels like three years.

One minute seemed like a century.

She glanced at the time on her phone from time to time.

It felt like a very long time had passed, but when I looked back, only a few minutes had passed.

During this long wait, she finally saw the figure she had been longing for.

Although there was still a long distance between them, she couldn't wait to stand up and waved at Lu Yanbai through the transparent glass.

Lu Yanbai seemed to see her, looked at her, then smiled and nodded at him.

Her eyes turned red instantly, her nose felt sore, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She missed him so much that it hurt to breathe.

In the first year after she separated from him, she couldn't sleep all night long. Even if she fell asleep, when she woke up, her pillow was all wet.

She woke up crying several times.

Her mother often scolded her for being useless and incompetent, and blamed her. If she had not taken action, Lu Yanbai would have died long ago and would not have ended up under house arrest.

But she didn't regret it at all.

She likes Lu Yanbai, so how could she bear to hurt him.

She didn't expect that this time they would be separated for another year.

Perhaps it was the first separation that made her accustomed to it. Although she was very sad and upset, she could rely on sleeping pills to fall asleep and use work to numb herself.

Every time she worked, she would temporarily forget about Lu Yanbai.

But when she returned home at night, facing the silence in the room, she began to miss him madly again. She missed him so much that she couldn't breathe. She missed him so much that her heart was broken and tears streamed down her face.

Just when she was beginning to get used to his absence, he suddenly came back.

It was as if she had stepped into the abyss, but in the midst of despair, she saw hope.

When Lu Yanbai walked into the coffee shop, she was already in tears. She rushed over excitedly and hugged Lu Yanbai's waist tightly.

"Xiaobai, you're finally back. I thought you would never come back! Do you know how much I missed you?"

Lu Yanbai knew that she must have misunderstood.

Although it was cruel to do so, he still hardened his heart and pulled her out of his arms.

"Leng Li, I asked you to meet me this time because I wanted to..."

As if she had anticipated what he was going to say, Leng Li didn't even give him a chance to speak, and interrupted him first: "Xiao Bai, I ordered your favorite iced Americano for you! Let's sit down and talk! Tell me, where have you been this year? What did you do? Was it fun?"

Without giving Lu Yanbai a chance to refuse, she pulled him to the dining table and made him sit on the opposite chair. Then she waved to the waiter.

"Waiter, my iced Americano is ready."

It can be seen that she was in a good mood. She was smiling the whole time, even in her eyes.

Looking at her like this, Lu Yan suddenly couldn't bear to say what he had been thinking all night.

Wait a moment!

Let’s talk after Leng Li finishes her coffee.

Just a few minutes.

A few minutes later, he had things clear with her.

The waiter served Lu Yan his favorite iced American coffee for free.

Leng Li picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip, then kept finding topics to chat with Lu Yanbai.

"The last time I called you, you said you were watching the Northern Lights. How was it? Was it beautiful? I wonder if I will ever get to see it in my lifetime."

Lu Yan said from the bottom of his heart: "Beautiful, very beautiful!"

Especially for those who watched the aurora with him, the moment the aurora appeared, it was truly beyond words.

Leng Li said enviously: "Really? I want to go see it too! I hope I can see it once in my lifetime."

Lu Yanbai understood the hidden meaning of her words, but did not respond.

He knew that Leng Li wanted him to take her to see it once.

But it's impossible.

It's impossible in this life.

Leng Li found many topics to talk to Lu Yanbai, and Lu Yanbai responded indifferently.

Leng Li's smile was very sweet and beautiful, forming a sharp contrast with Lu Yanbai's expression.

Seeing that she had finished her coffee, Lu Yanbai's eyes darkened and he said in a deep voice: "Leng Li, actually, the reason I asked you to come here this time is to tell you..."
