The abandoned daughter of the Lu family turns around and marries a celibate tycoon.

Three years later.

Haicheng Airport.

Before Lu Xiran even exited the security checkpoint, she saw two familiar figures not far away.

Jin Qiqi waved her hands, wishing she could jump up. Standing next to her was Gu Yanxu, holding a little guy in his arms—the little guy was imitating his mother, sticking out his fluffy little head, and waving his two chubby little hands in the air.

Lu Xiran couldn't help but laugh.

She jogged over, took Nuonuo in her arms, and leaned down to kiss his soft cheek.

"I miss my godmother so much, my little darling Nuonuo—"

Before the words were even finished, an angry voice rang out from the side:

"Lu Xiran! You've changed your mind!"

Jin Qiqi stood with her hands on her hips, her eyes wide open, looking just like a pufferfish whose food had been stolen.

"You don't even see me anymore! Give me a kiss, or I won't forgive you!"

Lu Xiran glanced at her helplessly, leaned over and gave her a perfunctory touch on the cheek, then looked down at the little one in her arms and said:

"My darling Nuonuo, give Mommy a kiss right now—otherwise, this jealous jar will explode."

Nuonuo didn't quite understand, but she obediently stretched her little face toward Jin Qiqi.

Jin Qiqi couldn't hold back any longer. She leaned over and gave her son a big kiss, then kissed Lu Xiran, her face beaming with joy.

Gu Yanxu shook his head helplessly from the side.

"She gets jealous of her son every day, and she seems to enjoy it immensely."

Lu Xiran looked down at the little guy in her arms. Nuonuo was playing with her hair with his chubby little hands, his eyes curving into two little crescents, babbling incoherently.

She was incredibly soft-hearted.

"It's because our Nono is so cute," she said softly, "he even outshines his mother."

"No!"

Jin Qiqi instantly bristled.

"Lu Xiran, you said it yourself—I will always be No. 1 in your heart!"

Lu Xiran was about to say something when her gaze suddenly stopped.

Not far away, a huge GG screen was playing promotional GG for the Ruijing Resort.

Throughout Haicheng Airport, there were photos of the Ruijing project taken by Ling Xue everywhere.

This demonstrates the prestige expected of the Gu family's boss lady.

Jin Qiqi followed her gaze, her smile freezing for a moment. Then she quickly grabbed Lu Xiran's hand, her tone feigning ease:

"Come on, come on, hurry up and get in the car. Aunt Lu said she prepared lots of delicious food for you today—"

Lu Xiran withdrew her gaze.

His face was expressionless.

"Let's go," she said.

Yun Yu Ji has moved back to its original location. The store in the West City Mall will only serve light meals, while for high-end customized meals, you should still go to the original store.

After the Ruijing Resort opened, the number of visitors to the entire area increased several times over.

As the only high-end Chinese restaurant in the business district, business is much better than before.

After finishing their meal, Nuonuo clung to Lu Xiran's clothes, refusing to let go.

"Godmother, Godmother!" the little one exclaimed, looking up with bright, sparkling eyes, "Ruijing—Ruijing to play!"

Jin Qiqi translated from the side: "He wants to take you to his amusement park to show off."

Lu Xiran looked down at the little guy's expectant eyes.

She knew she shouldn't go.

That's his territory.

Before she could refuse, Nuonuo had already hugged her leg, sweetly and affectionately pleading:

"Godmother—go ahead—"

Lu Xiran softened.

"it is good."

She couldn't refuse any of her godson's requests.

Lu Xiran played with Nuonuo on the slide, rode the carousel, and built sandcastles in the sandpit. The little guy was as energetic as a little motor, running around like the wind and laughing heartily.

Qiqi and Gu Yanxu took Nuonuo to the restroom, while Lu Xiran went to wait under the Ferris wheel.

She looked down at her phone.

A new message popped up in the group chat: Emma, ​​you just returned to China. I've sent you some coordination issues for the new project. Report to the China project office tomorrow.

After graduation, she entered Switzerland's largest design institute after passing three rounds of interviews, thanks to her perfect grades and her mentor's recommendation.

Three years.

She gradually adapted to life there. She adapted to the rhythm of leaving get off work on time, to the habit of taking walks by the lake on weekends, and to nights when she no longer thought of anyone.

I came back this time because of Qiqi's wedding.

Three years ago, because of her grandmother's situation, Qiqi and Gu Yanxu's wedding was postponed. On the phone, Jin Qiqi said: "If you don't come back, I'll go to Switzerland to get married and shove the bouquet into your hands."

She knew Qiqi was serious.

So she came back.

Just as Lu Xiran finished replying to the message, a small figure suddenly flashed in her peripheral vision.

Nono was running forward with her short legs, as if she were having a great time.

"Nono!"

Lu Xiran was startled, stuffed her phone into her bag, and quickly chased after him.

The little guy ran very fast, with a clear goal—the tall figure in front of him.

"Uncle—"

Lu Xiran stopped in her tracks.

The figure bent down and steadily picked up the little one who had lunged at them.

"Nono."

The voice was deep and familiar.

Even though three years have passed, she still remembers.

—Just as she remembered, it was this voice that had once said, "Help me solve a problem."

Lu Xiran looked up.

They met the gaze of the person above them.

Three years have passed.

Those eyes were even deeper, and his sword-like eyebrows were slightly furrowed as they gazed at her.

Lu Xiran was the first to look away.

"Uncle, I want to ride a horse again!" Nono hugged his neck and pleaded in a childish voice.

Gu Yanxu quickly stepped forward, wanting to take his son. Behind Gu Yanshen was a large group of staff, a dense crowd. Only his son would do something like letting Gu Yanluo ride on his back in this setting.

But Gu Yanshen's gaze involuntarily fell on another person.

She stood there, a few steps away.

Three years.

She no longer keeps her bangs.

His eyebrows and eyes were fully revealed. His eyes were still clear, but there was something indescribable about them—not a sense of vicissitude, but a calmness after seeing many things.

Deep chestnut-colored waves cascaded lazily over her shoulders, the ends lightly brushing her collarbone. An extra-long camel hair coat hugged her slender figure, the belt loosely tied to accentuate her waistline. The coat hem reached her ankles, and stiletto boots peeked out, elongating her figure and giving her a completely different aura.

The most deadly thing is that red lipstick.

The rich, deep red color made her skin appear as white as snow, and her facial features became even more distinct.

Bright and beautiful.

moving.

It is a kind of beauty that is captivating and mesmerizing.

"Uncle—"

Nono clung to his neck and wouldn't let go.

Gu Yanshen withdrew his gaze, looked down at the little guy in his arms, and a very faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Nono," he said softly, "there are so many people here, Uncle will carry you on a horseback ride when we get home."

Nono turned her head to look at the group of staff, a hint of fear flashing across her little face, and obediently nodded.

"It's a promise then." He held up his little finger. "Pinky promise."

Gu Yanshen extended his little finger and hooked it with his.

Lu Xiran took two steps back.

She saw Gu Yanxu walking over and wanted to turn around and leave.

"Godmother!"

Nono suddenly called out.

Lu Xiran subconsciously turned around and saw the little guy let go of Gu Yanshen and rush towards her. Afraid he would fall, she quickly took two steps forward to support him—

When I looked up, I realized I was very close to that person.

I was so close I could smell the familiar scent of cedar on him.

So close that I could see my own reflection in his eyes.
