Hearing An’s voice, Lu Yan turned her head and looked over. Then, her memory started to play.
Aside from the fact that she couldn’t remember Su Yu, Lu Yan remembered everything about An.
And she was his goddess, an unreachable woman… He didn’t even dare to think about it.
An’s calm eyes finally gave in upon seeing Lu Yan.
In its place was the ecstasy and heat of a young man seeing his first love for the first time.
“Oh my, you’re here too… It’s been years since we last met. How are you?”
Lu Yan got up from the bench and threw her book on the bench with a smile.
An nodded excitedly. “Great, I’m fine… Goddess, what about you?”
“Me? Same old…”
They smiled at each other, and Pudding found an excuse to leave.
She wanted to give Uncle An a chance to talk to Auntie Lu Yan alone.
Even though Qiao Fei was jealous of Bai Chang, he wouldn’t be jealous of An. After all, he knew that the two of them were very different from each other.
In the back garden, Lu Yan flipped over onto a tall railing and sat on it, crossing and swinging her legs.
An stood below, looking up at Lu Yan. He had never felt so peaceful before.
It was as if the time when he had accompanied Lu Yan around the city to eat and to cause trouble had only happened yesterday.
“Time sure is a butcher’s knife.” Lu Yan glanced at An and noticed that his sideburns had turned white.
Such artistic words didn’t sound like something the crazy Lu Yan would say.
As expected, she continued, “However… whether time is a pig slaughtering knife really depends on whether you are a pig.”
An: “…”
“Do you think I’ve changed?” Lu Yan asked.
“You’re still the same as back then.” After a pause, An said another word—beautiful.
She was still as beautiful as she was in the past. It was indeed not a compliment, but An’s actual thoughts.
Lu Yan’s looks were unparalleled. Even Qiao Tuantuan and Qiao Yuanyuan, at such a young age, were able to stun the world. This was no exaggeration.
Lu Yan smiled in satisfaction and nodded. “Yeah, I like what you said. I was just thinking that if you say that I’m old and ugly, I’ll beat you up.”
An smiled foolishly…
“Have you been training all these years? How’s your martial arts? Do you want to spar with me?”
“No, no, no. I’ll just admit defeat. Goddess, please don’t torture me.” An knew his limits.
As soon as he heard Lu Yan say she wanted to fight, he surrendered.
He wasn’t as overconfident as the young master of the Tang family. He knew Lu Yan’s capabilities. Although many years had passed, he didn’t dare to underestimate her.
So, before Lu Yan could start her prank, he rejected it.
“Hey, An… there’s something I never understood. Since I ran into you today, let me ask you.”
“Please speak your mind, goddess.”
Through the rays of the sun, An looked at the high and mighty Lu Yan. He felt that it was enough for him to see her again.
“Who was your employer all those years ago? I vaguely remember that you used to be a bodyguard for an employer… but after all these years, I can’t remember his name or what he looked like. I think I know him, but I can’t remember anything. Every time I think about it, my mind goes blank… It’s so weird…”
Lu Yan’s brain was actually very sensitive. When she saw An, she immediately thought of many things that she couldn’t explain, so she asked honestly.
An froze…

Inside the gazebo at the top of South Hill Manor.
Rick and Qin Chu sat side by side, overlooking the city.
The two men’s hearts calmed down.
“Did you also not expect me to live such an ordinary life?” Rick asked Qin Chu.
“Well, I thought you’d be the next glamorous godfather of the underworld.”
“Heh, that’s not important to me. If something hadn’t happened to my brother… I wouldn’t have… I might still be here, managing the Seductive Fox bar that belongs to me. To me, being a bar owner is enough.”
“The trajectory of life isn’t something we can control. Most of the time… no matter how hard you try, the situation won’t develop the way you think. We call it destiny,” Qin Chu said.
“What? You’re getting old and you’re also influenced by chicken soup for the soul?” Rick teased.
Qin Chu also smiled faintly… He was still as handsome as ever.
“Chu…”
“Hm?”
“Did you and Huo Mian hold a wedding?”
Qin Chu’s eyes flickered and he fell silent…
“You love her so much, you don’t seem like someone who doesn’t care about giving her a status… Although the wedding is just a formality, it’s also a symbol of a lifetime commitment… Now that you two have three children, the children are already so big, and the two of you are past your thirties, are you really not going to hold the wedding?”
“That’s not what I intended, it’s Mian’s idea.”
“Then why did Huo Mian do it? She knew how much you loved her… She should know that you want to announce your happiness to the world…”
Rick didn’t understand what Huo Mian was doing.
They had all lost their memories of Su Yu, so Rick couldn’t remember why Huo Mian was so insistent.
“She didn’t say anything, and I didn’t ask. I didn’t want to make things difficult for her. You know, I never wanted to make things difficult for her,” Qin Chu said slowly.
“Do you want me to ask her for you?”
“No, it’s fine. We have everything except our wedding. Just like you said, our children are already so big. The whole world knows that Huo Mian is my wife, so it really doesn’t matter.”
“Really? If it’s true, you wouldn’t be so disappointed…”
As Qin Chu’s best friend, Rick knew that Qin Chu only had one regret.
After his wedding was ruined by Huo Siqian, Qin Chu wanted to prepare for a grand wedding.
To give his wife a beautiful memory, even the most beautiful memory of his life.
However, Huo Mian didn’t mention the wedding anymore. Whenever Qin Chu mentioned it, Huo Mian would subconsciously avoid it.
Qin Chu didn’t want to bring it up again. The twins were already 18 years old.
Huo Mian and Qin Chu were already middle-aged…
Rick didn’t think they should be like this…
Inside the South Hill Manor.
When Huo Mian arrived at the hospital, she had a simple meeting to deal with some work, then she came back early.
Gao Ran’s family arrived early, and Zhu Lingling helped Huo Mian wash the fruits everyone wanted for lunch.
She didn’t forget to complain, “Mian, let me tell you, haha… my heartless boy came straight to your house after leaving the airport.”
“I know, Little Bean and Yuanyuan went to pick Boyuan up,” Huo Mian said calmly.
“So is Boyuan the typical example of someone who forgets his mother after getting married? No, no… he has already forgotten about me before getting married… I’m so sad…”
“It’s alright. He’ll be filial to his parents-in-law in the future.”
“Get the hell out of my way… Your family took my son for yourself just like this.” Zhu Lingling pinched Huo Mian’s neck like she did when she was young.
“Where’s Xiaowei? Why is she so late today?” Huo Mian looked around but didn’t see Jiang Xiaowei.
