That night, Lin Xuedong ignited the enchanting night with his passion, roses and champagne setting off their dazzling display of light and shadow...

On the day Lin Zhiyuan turned six months old, Liu Sisi dressed up carefully, holding Lin Zhihe, her summer dress fluttering as she stood on the tarmac, waiting for her man.

The afternoon sun refracted a series of dazzling halos, and the scorching rays baked the earth.

The sleek private jets were parked in their designated berths on the tarmac, while staff bustled about in the thin mist rising from the ground, carrying out various finishing touches.

Yet it is like a distinguished guest of high caliber, exuding a striking majesty and luxury.

A short while later, Lin Xuedong, with his upright posture, stepped out of the cabin.

A pair of cool sunglasses perched on his sharply defined face, a simple white shirt paired with crisp black trousers that fit his figure perfectly. Every crease seemed like a meticulously designed fashion element, further accentuating his refined and aloof demeanor.

He strode down the escalator, holding a baby boy steadily in his arms.

A faint smile played at the corners of her lips, exuding confidence yet remaining understated, like a gentle summer breeze that lightly caresses the heart.

Xiao, who was next to Liu Sisi, quickly gave a wink to the bodyguards. Several bodyguards dressed in black acted swiftly, some preparing the wheelchair and others walking quickly toward the cabin.

A moment later, Lin Xuedong walked gracefully and calmly to Liu Sisi.

He leaned down slightly, reached out and gently teased the baby boy in his arms, his face beaming with smiles: "Zhiyuan, quickly call for Mommy, call for Brother."

“Ah ah..…”

"Gugu..."

But the only response was Lin Zhihe's cute and childlike voice.

The little guy opened his eyes wide, his round pupils like two black gems, and started waving his arms and legs excitedly, making little noises.

Looking at her adorable son, Liu Sisi couldn't help but smile gently. "Zhihe, that's Dad and your little brother."

As she spoke, she pointed her slender finger at the somewhat shy Lin Zhiyuan, patiently guiding him to pronounce: "Little brother, little brother..."

"Gu gu..." Xiao Zhi tried his best to open his little mouth, but his little tongue seemed unable to turn around, and he could only make the single sound "gu gu", which was extremely cute.

"Look at you, it's your little brother, your little brother." Liu Sisi adjusted her holding position. Xiao Zhihe was still quite heavy, so she gently bounced him around, but the smile on her lips remained as bright as a flower.

The next second, Lin Xuedong's strong arm came into view.

Liu Sisi looked up and met Lin Xuedong's eyes after he took off his sunglasses. His eyes were slightly upturned, and a smile rippled across his face. "Sisi, let me do it."

Before she could react, the weight in her arms suddenly disappeared, and Xiao Zhihe was already comfortably resting on the man's left shoulder.

Her eyes blinked, gazing into the distance at her grandfather being carried off the plane by a bodyguard. "Ah, pupu..."

He shouted excitedly, filled with curiosity about everything around him.

Liu Sisi's gaze swept around, and soon she saw the bodyguard carefully helping Lin Zhicheng into a wheelchair.

His face looked slightly haggard, but his eyes held a hint of stubbornness. He raised his head slightly and tried to straighten his back, as if he didn't want to show the fatigue from his long journey.

Xie Xue, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly, and her carefully made-up face could not hide the complex emotions in her heart.

Her lips were pressed tightly together, her gaze carrying her usual arrogance—a quality cultivated over years of holding a high position. Yet, beneath this arrogance, there was a subtle, barely concealed embarrassment.

Perhaps, this situation made her feel somewhat lost.

Or perhaps, it was because he had to face Liu Sisi, and he had other feelings for her that were bothering him.

As they approached, Liu Sisi glanced at Lin Xuedong subconsciously. Perhaps it was because she had been standing in the sunlight for too long, but fine beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead.

My heart was racing. Even though I was mentally prepared, it would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous when I actually faced it.

"Dad... Mom..." Encouraged by Lin Xuedong's gaze, Liu Sisi still greeted the two elders politely. "You must be tired from the journey. It's hot outside, so please get in the car first."

Lin Zhicheng, sitting in his wheelchair, nodded slightly upon hearing Liu Sisi's greeting, but remained silent.

My gaze lingered on her briefly. The woman's smooth black hair was simply tied up, with a few strands falling naturally on either side of her fair cheeks, adding to her liveliness and gentleness.

She wore an elegant off-white A-line knee-length dress, with a light purple silk ribbon tied at the waist, gently accentuating her slender waist and perfectly showcasing her well-proportioned figure.

The platinum diamond bracelet on her wrist swayed gently with her movements, as if interpreting the delicacy and gentleness in her heart.

Her face was lightly made up, her lips were the color of cherry blossoms in spring, and her eyes were as pure as if they had been washed by a clear spring, without any impurities.

It was precisely this gentle and elegant charm in every smile and gesture that captivated her son's heart.

But the scrutinizing gaze made Liu Sisi uncomfortable, and she nervously exchanged a glance with Lin Xuedong.

"Dad, Mom, you go back to Lushan Road in Ah Xiao's car. Sisi's mother and Aunt Fang have already prepared dinner." Lin Xuedong narrowed his eyes slightly and calmly spoke to Lin Zhicheng and Xie Xue.

Xie Xue snorted: "Where are your maternal grandmother and uncle?"

"Don't worry, they'll be here on time. Let's have a family dinner tonight and talk about my and Sisi's wedding arrangements."

Seemingly sensing Liu Sisi's unease, he moved closer without making a sound.

As the man casually brushed the matter aside, Liu Sisi unconsciously tugged at a crease in her skirt.

She was well aware of the importance of this meeting and understood the many challenges and subtle atmosphere that might be hidden within it.

"Ya ya, hee hee..."

Just then, the lively little Zhihe seemed to sense his mother's tension and embarrassment. He moved his little body and stretched out his two little arms to Liu Sisi, asking for a hug.

Liu Sisi felt a warmth in her heart and quickly reached out to hug Xiao Zhihe.

She took a deep breath, met Lin Zhicheng and Xie Xue's gaze, and smiled, "Dad, Mom, this is Zhihe."

Xiao Zhi returned to her mother's arms, her little hand clutching a strand of Liu Sisi's hair, her eyes sparkling as she looked around, occasionally making "ya ya" sounds, as if cheering her mother on.

Lin Zhicheng craned his neck slightly, watching this scene, and a touch of tenderness stirred within him.

He thought of Lin Lan, and his gaze involuntarily shifted to another relatively quiet child being held by Lin Xuedong...

Time has passed, and things have changed; all that remains is a deep sense of regret.

"Sigh," he sighed softly.

"He is the older brother, so we should teach him to love and care for his younger brother."
