Hong Kong is in full swing

Yu Wan, whose brain was not yet fully functioning, did not delve into the other person's words. She just nodded blankly in agreement and hugged the person in front of her who gave her warmth tightly.

She gently raised a hand that was soaked in the water, splashing a few ripples of water.

Seeing this, Huo Chuyan extended his hand and gently grasped her slender fingers. He asked softly and gently, "During Christmas, my company has arranged for me to go on a short business trip to London, England. It seems I won't be able to spend the holidays with you. Do you have any gifts you'd like? Just ask for anything."

After hearing this, Yu Wan shook her head and said, "My only wish is that you can return as soon as possible."

"Silly girl."

Huo Chuyan dotingly pinched her cheeks and said, "You are so indifferent to fame and fortune, and you go with the flow. I really worry about what you will do if you get married in the future."

Feeling the caring words from her lover, Yu Wan's body instantly stiffened. She said in a light but firm tone, "Actually, I haven't really considered the issue of marriage yet."

Looking at the shy and serious look on the girl beside him, Huo Chuyan couldn't help but keep his gaze on her for a long time before speaking, "Does that mean you'll never plan to get married?"

After receiving a positive answer, the young man continued jokingly, "I previously thought you were rejecting someone in particular, but now it seems you really treat everyone equally."

Hearing such a joke, Yu Wan's heart suddenly tightened, and she retorted with a bit of nervousness, "Mr. Huo, please stop joking, okay?"

Seeing this, Huo Chuyan stopped talking about this topic.

He moved his body slightly, gently adjusted the corner of his clothes, and prepared to stand up and leave.

Seeing this, Yu Wan quickly reached out and held his arm tightly.

He paused and turned to look at her in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"do not go."

There was a hint of pleading in Yu Wan's voice.

He asked softly, "Why?"

The tone was gentle but with a hint of helplessness.

She lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembled, and her lips moved slightly, but she didn't dare make a sound to answer him.

"Why on earth do you not want me to leave, Yu Wan?"

Huo Chuyan asked patiently, concern in his eyes.

"Because I can't bear to leave you."

Her voice was choked up.

The price she paid for letting him leave last time was not being able to see him for a whole month. This time, she didn't want to let him leave so easily.

That empty feeling of loneliness seemed to have hollowed out her heart.

Yu Wan slowly raised her head, looked directly into Huo Chuyan's eyes, and said firmly yet gently, "Can you stay with me a little longer?"

Huo Chuyan looked back at her quietly, feeling a bit complicated and distressed in his heart.

In fact, her eyes are really beautiful. Whenever she looks into his eyes, the emotions overflowing from them are always impossible to ignore.

But the little girl always thought that her thoughts were hidden.

Often, he couldn't figure out what she wanted from this relationship—not fame, not background, not even to own him.

His hand gently slid across her cheek, and he knew without a doubt that she loved him.

"How long do you want me to stay here?"

Huo Chuyan asked softly, while also thinking about how to soothe the uneasy heart of the girl in front of him.

After hearing this, Huo Chuyan continued, "You know that companionship always has a time limit."

The tone was calm, yet full of helplessness.

She felt her throat dry, and after trying to catch her breath, she said, "I thought it wouldn't be until I saw you had a fiancée and decided to get married."

"But what if I never plan to start a family and build a career in my life?"

He said this deliberately to see how she would react.

Hearing this, Yu Wan's eyes froze slightly, as if she didn't expect him to say such a thing.

But he quickly added: "I will get married."

There was a warm and slightly sad smile on her face, and her long and thick eyelashes gently covered her eyes, making her whole face even more charming.

"Do not worry."

"I believe."

Yu Wan's face turned very pale, but despite this, her answer remained as firm as before.

In the end, Huo Chuyan got up and left.

Curled up in bed alone, Yu Wan stared blankly at the crescent moon hanging in the night sky.

The cold, clear moonlight was as desolate and cold as a thin layer of snow on the ground, making the room even more silent.

She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so she decided to drive to the hospital to visit her mother Yu Xinxin.

After gently pushing open the tightly closed door and entering the space filled with silence and darkness, Yu Wan took off her shoes and carefully crawled into her mother's arms to seek a little warmth.

Feeling someone entering from beneath her, Yu Xinxin, who was originally sleeping on the bed, quickly opened her arms and hugged her daughter tightly.

"Baby."

Leaning against the soft and warm chest, feeling the deepest sense of security and love from her loved ones, Yu Wan couldn't help but whispered "Mom".

"I thought I was still dreaming."

The tone was complex and changeable, with a mixture of sadness and surprise at this sudden happiness.

"What did you dream about?"

The mother's gentle voice then rang out, sounding especially soft in the quiet ward, her words filled with endless care for her daughter.

"I'm as nervous as if I were dreaming about taking you to take an exam."

Yu Wan responded somewhat gloomily. Even though she knew that she didn't need to prove anything to the people closest to her at this moment, she still chose to tell her feelings truthfully to her beloved mother.

He gently rubbed his chin against the girl's silky black hair, and gazed at the little person who was like his sweetheart with a kind look, "My smart child."

Yu Xinxin praised with an extremely doting attitude.

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere became more harmonious and beautiful.

"I've made a plan. As soon as we receive the acceptance letter, we'll start preparing to move and find a small house in a suitable location near the school. My mother will then open a small shop nearby to supplement the family income. We'll be able to see each other busy and happy every day."

Listening to these words about future aspirations and plans, Yu Wan couldn't help but feel a warmth and deep gratitude in her heart.

"You said that since we have mom with us every day, will boys be scared away from approaching us?"

Yu Wan joked with a playful smile.

Yu Wan hugged her mother tightly and asked in a hoarse voice, "So what kind of store do you plan to open?"

“There’s no concrete plan for this yet.”

It is obviously inappropriate to make suggestions without careful consideration for this question, so I can only say that I have not yet decided on the answer and pause for a moment before continuing to explain the reasons and considerations.
