Xiao Mingxuan seemed to be shrouded in a gloom and he couldn't muster up any energy for several days.

Even when Lele and Wenjun came to see him, he could only force a smile and soon immersed himself in his own world again, as if he had locked himself in an invisible shell and lost interest in everything in the outside world.

Cheng Ping and Li Jianguo saw it and were very anxious, racking their brains to think of a solution.

Finally, they thought that perhaps letting the child see his mother would be better for him and perhaps it would help dispel the haze in his heart.

With such expectations, the two of them took Xiao Mingxuan and came to Xishi by high-speed rail.

However, when standing in front of the prison visiting room, they were told that they could not see Li Xuanbao.

It turned out that during this period of time, not only they wanted to visit Li Xuanbao, but Jing Qiu, Li Ronghua, and even He Zhizhou had come here, wanting to meet Li Xuanbao.

But without exception, everyone was rejected by Li Xuanbao. She isolated herself behind the cold iron bars and refused to face anyone.

Li Xuanbao's inherent pride made her unwilling to meet people in prison clothes.

So when Cheng Ping and Li Jianguo brought Xiao Mingxuan to see her, she was even more unwilling. She didn't want to leave the impression that "mom is a criminal" in her son's mind.

After listening to the prison police relaying Li Xuanbao's words, Cheng Ping and Li Jianguo looked at each other and sighed heavily.

In desperation, they could only take the silent Xiao Mingxuan away from the prison.

Along the way, Xiao Mingxuan was so quiet that it made people feel distressed. It was not until he stepped out of the prison gate that he slowly turned around and stared at the heavy iron door behind him for a long time. His voice was childish but trembling: "Grandma, when can Mommy come home?"

Cheng Ping squatted down, and gently wiped away the tears that had slipped down Xiao Mingxuan's cheeks with her fingertips. She said gently, "My dear child, Mom will be out soon. Eat well and grow up well. In three years, Mom will be back with you."

But just as Cheng Ping finished speaking, Xiao Mingxuan suddenly threw himself into her arms, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time poured out like a flood, crying loudly: "Grandma, does my mother not want me anymore? I eat and sleep well every day, I am very obedient and good, why doesn't she want to see me..."

Listening to the child's heart-wrenching cry, Cheng Ping's nose felt sore and his eyes instantly became moist.

She hugged the trembling little body in her arms tightly, patted his back gently, and comforted him, "My dear Mingxuan, how could mommy not want you? Mommy just did something wrong by accident, and now I am working hard to correct it.

When she has corrected all the mistakes, the first thing she will do is come to Beijing to see you."

Cheng Ping and Li Jianguo brought Xiao Mingxuan to Xishi this time without telling Li Jiawei.

So after they came out of prison, they took the high-speed train back to Beijing with the depressed Xiao Mingxuan, so much so that Li Jiawei didn't even know that her parents had been to Xishi.

After the verdict of Li Xuanbao's case was announced, Li Shiwen's new appointment notice was officially announced. He will go to Huaian Township to serve as the township head.

Coincidentally, the tea industry park that Li Jiawei invested heavily in building is located in Huaian Township.

In the Li Garden on a spring day, Li Jiawei and Li Shiwen sat face to face, and Zhou Dan sat right next to Li Shiwen, but she now wanted to hide her entire body behind Li Shiwen.

Li Jiawei held two bright red marriage certificates in her fingertips, stroking and flipping through them repeatedly, then her sharp eyes scanned back and forth between the two of them.

Zhou Dan was so stared at that she felt uneasy. She lowered her head and twisted the corner of her clothes, forcing a smile: "Jiawei, I just wanted to pick a good day to tell you..."

Li Jiawei looked at Zhou Dan who was trying to please her, and smiled, "Really? Then should I thank you for telling me?"

Zhou Dan shrank his neck, chuckled twice, and raised his face: "Well...you're welcome!"

Li Jiawei looked at Zhou Dan, snorted coldly, then frowned and said, "Did you two do a good job of keeping it secret? I only found out about it after I got the certificate. Do you think I'm an outsider?" The last line of her voice was deliberately prolonged.

Zhou Dan quietly touched Li Shiwen with her toes, and then unrighteously pushed all the responsibilities onto Li Shiwen, looking at Li Jiawei with a face full of grievance: "Jiawei, you have to give me some justice!

It's all Li Shiwen's fault. I couldn't bear to hide it from you. He was the one who didn't let me tell you first!"

As she spoke, she pulled Li Jiawei's hand in a flattering manner, eager to clear herself from the matter of hiding it from Li Jiawei, "We have only been together recently. When I agreed to be his girlfriend, my first reaction was to tell you, but he insisted that you were busy and didn't want to bother you with this matter."

But the more Zhou Dan spoke, the lower his voice became, until it was completely silent.

She carefully looked at Li Jiawei's expression, and seeing that Li Jiawei's expression had eased a little, she let out a light breath and then spoke again: "In fact, we didn't plan to get the marriage certificate so hastily. Isn't Shiwen going to take up a post in Huai'an Township soon, and I'm busy with work here and can't spare the time.

Besides, we are both not young anymore. After much thought, we decided to get the marriage certificate before he leaves, so that he won’t have to run back and forth to arrange the marriage when he just starts working.”

Li Jiawei looked at Zhou Dan's servile appearance, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her lips. Her eyes moved back and forth between Zhou Dan and Li Shiwen: "Zhou Dan, you are really good at passing the buck."

She gently shook the marriage certificate in her hand, and said with a teasing tone, "If I hadn't gone back to Li Garden to get the documents today and bumped into you two 'showing off your happiness' here, would you have waited until your child was one month old before telling me your happy news?"

Zhou Dan waved her hands hurriedly, her cheeks flushed, and she was so anxious that her voice rose a few notches: "Jiawei, it's unfair! We really didn't mean to hide it from you!"

Li Jiawei put away her joking expression and looked at the newlyweds with tenderness.

Zhou Dan has a capable and outstanding temperament. She is decisive at work and meticulous and considerate in life. Such a girl is undoubtedly a perfect match for Li Shiwen when she marries him.

With Zhou Dan's assistance, Li Shiwen's future career will not only not be hindered, but he will have a capable and virtuous wife to help him.

Li Jiawei sighed softly, her eyes revealing helplessness and doting, and asked, "Are you two free today? I'll treat you to a good meal to celebrate your marriage certificate."

Zhou Dan subconsciously turned to look at Li Shiwen with a questioning look in his eyes.

Li Shiwen immediately responded, "Sister, you must be free! In fact, even if you don't come back today, I plan to take the initiative to find you!"
