Xuxu let her cry for a while before pulling her into her embrace. She consoled, “All right. Don’t cry anymore.”

 She patted her back gently, consoling her.

Ah Sheng was right. She was bound to find out one day.

And all along, this was what she was most worried about. She was afraid that Su Yue could not let go, would be heartbroken, and would hate herself.

But she was fortunate that she met a boy named Jiao Chen in her lifetime. He protected her during her crucial growing-up years. He showered her with love and protected her well.

It made up for her cold and lonely childhood.

She was also fortunate to have a Ming Ansheng who could continue to love and adore her.

Let the past stay in the past…

 Xuxu looked faraway and gently patted her on back.

After a long time, Su Yue stopped sobbing. She broke out of Xuxu’s embrace, her eyes puffy.

Xuxu stared at her. She then used the pads of her thumbs to wipe away Su Yue’s tears. “Stop crying. Xiaojiao will be worried if she sees you like this.”

 At the mention of Xiaojiao, Su Yue immediately stopped crying. She wiped her tears haphazardly before standing up and walking to the sink. She turned on the tap and splashed her face with water.

She kept splashing her face, trying to wash away the traces of tears on her face. She wished that she could give Xiaojiao only happiness.

How else would she make it up for all the times Jiao Chen pampered Xiaojiao when he was around?

 How else would she make it up to Jiao Chen, who never once scolded her?

 How could she make it up to him for his consideration?

 He even wanted to leave this world in silence so that she wouldn’t be upset.

“That’s enough. The water is cold.”

 “It’s fine.” Su Yue shook her head. She turned off the tap and rested her arms on the edge of the sink. She stared at herself. Her eyes were red and swollen.

She continued staring, allowing the water droplets to drip down her face and to her chin.

Forget her. From now on, forget that Bai Jing ever existed. Forget her…

 …

 After washing her face repeatedly, it was still evident that she had been crying. Su Yue decided to forget it.

She smiled and said to Xuxu, “Third sister-in-law, let’s go.”

 Xuxu smiled in return and held her arm as they walked towards the ballroom.

Just as they arrived at the ballroom, a group of children came running out.

Ming Beichen was the oldest. He was like a prince who walked in front. He and Su Xiaojiao, who was in the middle of the group, turned their heads when they saw them coming.

Xiaojiao smiled and ran up to Su Yue. She lifted her lollipop to her. “Mommy, eat candy.”

 Su Yue bent over and carried her. Then she licked her lollipop and commented, “It’s so sweet.”

 Xiaojiao grinned and stuffed the lollipop in her mouth.

Xuxu was already walking in front of the children, bringing them towards the lift.

Su Yue carried Xiaojiao and followed behind them. When they entered the lift, Beibei kept glancing at Su Yue.

He wanted to speak but decided not to.

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at their floor. The little fellows eagerly rushed out, chasing each other and laughing happily.

When Xiaojiao saw it, she wanted to join in the fun too. She wriggled in Su Yue’s arms and wanted to get onto the floor.
