The three people who felt they had met too late had a very pleasant chat.

When Rong Yue got off work and was ready to take An Yan home, everyone was still reluctant to leave.

Seeing their intimacy, Yan Weiwei and Jin Yueyue both showed ambiguous looks and said goodbye on their own initiative.

"It's too late, let us take you there." Rong Yue said gentlemanly.

"No, no!" Yan Weiwei waved her hands repeatedly. "My mom is worried about me going out alone. The driver and bodyguard are waiting at the door. I can still take Yueyue home first."

After saying that, she added, "We won't bother you!" The two girls winked at them, then walked away happily holding hands.

An Yan blushed slightly and stretched out her white and tender little hand, "Let's go home too!"

Rong Yue took it without hesitation, and couldn't smile.

Rong Yue has a house near the police station and usually lives here for the convenience of commuting to and from get off work.

They stopped by the supermarket and bought two large bags of daily necessities. Rong Yue carried one bag in each hand, and An Yan followed him while eating snacks, occasionally putting a few into Rong Yue's mouth.

The moist lips touched the warm fingertips, and then separated instantly as if they were electrocuted. An Yan continued to eat snacks with her head down, while Rong Yue led the way without looking around, but both of their ears were red.

An Yan blinked her eyes. They had clearly been a couple for decades, so why did she still feel shy? Changing the world meant a new beginning, falling in love again. She was so excited.

After eating the dinner specially sent by the restaurant and taking a shower, the two of them snuggled up on the sofa to watch TV. Of course, An Yan snuggled in Rong Yue's arms.

The two of them didn't pay any attention to what was on TV.

It was not easy for Rong Yue to remain calm when he had a beautiful girl in his arms, not to mention that the other person was emitting the same scent of shower gel as his.

Rong Yue's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he pretended to be calm.

An Yan leaned in his arms, listening to his strong and somewhat rapid heartbeat, and stroked his chest with her fingers.

"Rongrong~Tonight we..." Before he could finish his words, Rong Yue's phone rang.

He didn't want to answer it, but when he saw that it was a call from the bureau, Rong Yue could only say apologetically that he would answer it first.

It was a call from a colleague on duty. Rong Yue didn't need to go out to respond to the suicide report, but because the person who wanted to commit suicide was one of the girls who had been abducted and had just been rescued, Rong Yue was notified.

If possible, I hope he can come and persuade me, maybe it will be helpful.

Rong Yue immediately recalled the woman with a numb expression and extinguished light in her eyes. Her name seemed to be Liu Qian, right?

An Yan overheard something and was about to speak when she received a message from Jin Sheng on her mobile phone: someone was about to jump off the rooftop of Xingfu Community.

Xingfu Community is one of the communities constructed and managed by Ancheng Construction.

An Yan and Rong Yue looked at each other, thinking that this was probably the same thing.

The two quickly changed their clothes, and Rong Yue drove to the scene quickly.

Rong Yue went to find his colleagues present to inquire about the situation; while An Yan went to see Jin Sheng, who had arrived earlier, "Secretary Jin, thank you for your hard work! This month's bonus will be doubled!"

Jin Sheng bowed excitedly to express his gratitude, and his raised smile instantly returned to a calm and composed one. After all, smiling was somewhat inappropriate in this situation.

An Yan looked around, her eyes fixed on the building opposite. She told Jin Sheng to do something, and then made a video call to Rong Yue.

At this time, Liu Qian was standing on the edge of the rooftop, which was about to fall. If she really fell from the height of more than ten floors, even if she fell on an air cushion, she would probably be in danger.

"Let me talk to her."

Rong Yue quickly agreed because Liu Qian had always been depressed and remained indifferent no matter what they said. Perhaps An Yan could persuade her.

Rong Yue asked loudly: "Liu Qian, do you still remember her?"

They were so far away that she couldn't see clearly on the small phone screen. Liu Qian thought he was trying to trick her into coming down, so she didn't move.

At this moment, An Yan's WeChat call page appeared on the huge display screen of the building opposite, with An Yan's portrait on it. "Sister, do you still remember me?"

When Liu Qian saw her, tears fell down.

"I'm sorry to have this be the first conversation, but I can't hear you. Could you please ask the officer behind me to toss the phone to you?"

Liu Qian subconsciously tilted her head, and Rong Yue shook his phone and slid it over like a shovel, within her reach.

"Sister, you never gave up hope even when you were stuck in the quagmire. You managed to escape with such difficulty, but now you're standing here in despair. You must have suffered a great deal of injustice! Why not vent it? Now that things have come to this, there's no need to show mercy to others. Curse him!"

Liu Qian wanted to force a smile, but she couldn't. Her emotions were not strong, and it could be said that she no longer had any desire.

"Nothing, I just realized that no one is looking forward to my return, and I feel that life is meaningless."

An Yan retorted, "Sister, you're wrong. If no one was expecting you to come back, I could have just run away on my own. Why would I have taken you with me? The police officer wouldn't have to worry about why he went through so much trouble and traveled thousands of miles to bring you back. Isn't that hurtful?"

Liu Qian lowered her head, her voice choked with sobs, "I know, but..."

But after a long pause, she continued, "My beloved family sees me as a stain, and my relatives and neighbors laugh at me."

"Three years seemed like an eternity to me, but it was but a fleeting moment to them. I was once their pride, the envy of others, and now everything I had is gone."

"I shouldn't have come back at all. Then I might have become the object of everyone's remembrance and pity, instead of being despised and criticized."

An Yan shook her head. "Sister, why do you want to use other people's mistakes to hurt yourself? Those people who criticize and blame you are just trying to find some sense of superiority in their mediocre lives. But now, can you hear the voices of those below you?"

Liu Qian looked at the tiny ant-like figure on the ground. She couldn't even make out its movements in the darkness. "I can't hear it."

An Yan smiled, "That's it! Why bother with those incompetent rages? You're still young, and you still have a chance! As long as you stand high enough, a height they can't reach, you'll find that the people and voices that once bothered you are nothing."

Liu Qian was slightly moved, but still hesitant.

An Yan continued, "As for your family, you're already an independent adult. If you don't want to see them, then don't see them. In the future, you can ask someone to send some gifts during festivals. When you're old, you can just give them money every month according to the law, right?"

Liu Qian's spirits improved a lot. She looked at her hands and asked, "But what can I do?"

"Sister, don't underestimate yourself. If I remember correctly, you were the first one to notice something was wrong and seize the opportunity to escape! You're smart, courageous, and good at seizing opportunities. I admire you very much!"

"So, I have something I want to ask you for help with, I wonder if you would be willing?"
