Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Chu Zhiyuan heard that he was going to meet his in-laws, he was overjoyed! Without delay, he set the meeting date to be the afternoon of the next day…
“Oh, today is the first time I’m meeting my in-laws. What should I wear?” The business legend—Chu Zhiyuan—made such a big deal of meeting someone. Who would believe this?!
After spending a long time on his choice of clothes, he finally chose a suit—the one that Jian Dan had chosen for him during Lunar New Year. After wearing it, he was definitely decades younger!
He heard from Chu Liyuan that Jian Dan’s grandmother was very young. She was an old lady who was almost 80 years old like him, but she looked like she was only in her fifties. So, how could he lose out to her?
He looked at himself in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction before going downstairs…
Little Jian said that her grandmother seemed to like strawberries very much. There seemed to have some leftover of the dried strawberries that Liyuan made last time…
He went to the kitchen to look for some of it. As he rummaged throught the cabinet, a small bottle attracted his attention. He took it out in disbelief…
Was this… strawberry vinegar?
He could not wait to open it and take a sip. That familiar taste bombarded his taste buds.
“This taste…” These were made by Liyuan and Little Jian together. This could not be made by Liyuan, so it must be made by Little Jian. Then Little Jian must know where she was.
45 years! It had been 45 years. He had been looking for her for 45 years. Finally, he had a clue about her again.
Chu Zhiyuan’s heart was already overflowing with emotions. He was so excited that his entire body was trembling.
He put aside the strawberry vinegar and quickly ran towards the door. He wanted to find Jian Dan. He wanted to know where she was now.
The car sped along…
Meanwhile, Mo Qingqin had already gotten changed and put on beautiful makeup…
“Granny, you’re really so charming!”
“That’s for sure. I’ve got to look good! I can’t let my precious granddaughter suffer in the future.”
After hearing Mo Qingqin’s words, she gave her two thumbs up. “Awesome!”
“Let’s go then!”
“Okay!”
The two of them took a cab to the agreed location. They were paying the fare when Jian Dan realized that there was no signal on her cell phone for some reason. She tried holding the cell phone in another direction, but she still could not get any signal…
“Granny, why don’t you go in first? It might take me a while!”
“Alright! Then I’ll go in first. We don’t want to be late and make them think that we’re rude!”
“Okay! It’s Room 203!”
After Mo Qingqin got out of the car, Jian Dan continued trying to get a signal in every direction…
When Chu Zhiyuan arrived at the restaurant, he did not even have time to lock his car before dashing quickly to the restaurant. He did not want to wait another minute…
As soon as he entered the restaurant, a familiar figure appeared in front of him. This figure had been in his dreams for 45 years. And now, it suddenly appeared in front of him. He did not know how to describe his current mood. Or rather, there were no words to describe what he was feeling.
He did not dare to go forward. He was afraid that this was a dream and that he would wake up if he went forward. He did not want to. Even if this was really a dream, he would rather never wake up.
When that figure slowly turned around, that beautiful side profile struck his heart deeply.
He slowly walked forward and called out softly, “Qingqin!”
To be able to hear such a familiar voice in her lifetime… Was she dreaming?
She slowly turned her gaze in the direction of the voice. It was a familiar face. Although time left its mark on his face, Mo Qingqin could still recognize him at a glance. This was the man she loved deeply—Chu Zhiyuan!
The two of them stared at each other for a full three minutes. Neither of them dared to move first, afraid that this was just a dream!
Just then, Jian Dan had already paid the fare and came over. Before she entered the dining room, she saw Mo Qingqin and Chu Zhiyuan standing opposite each other, looking at each other without moving or saying anything…
Just as she was about to go in, she saw Chu Zhiyuan hugging Mo Qingqin tightly in his arms. Mo Qingqin did not resist and instead hugged him back…
What is going on now? Why are they…
Just as Jian Dan was lost in shock and bafflement, she heard them say,
“Qingqin, I’ve been looking for you for 45 years. I’ve finally found you today!” “Zhiyuan, I can’t believe it. Are you really Zhiyuan? Really? You’re still alive? I had always thought you were…”
Although it was only two sentences, it was enough for Jian Dan to figure out their relationship. It turned out that the wife that Chu Zhiyuan had been looking for was Mo Qingqin, and the husband that Mo Qingqin had been pining for was Chu Zhiyuan!
No, no, no! This isn’t real…
Jian Dan covered her mouth with her hand to stop herself from screaming…
Oh my God! If this is all true, then Uncle and I…
No, no, no… I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!
Jian Dan’s mind was in a mess and she did not know how to face such a situation.. She fled…
