There were many people in the square, but those noises and liveliness had nothing to do with her.

Su Mo stood where she was and looked helplessly at the people in her line of sight, but she could not see the one she wanted to find the most.

She thought to herself, "Why did he let go?"

She sat beside the pool in frustration, thinking about what had happened today. Countless images flashed through her mind, and she could not help but smile bitterly.

She thought that after the series of bad news six years ago, she was strong enough, but when things really happened, she found that she was actually more fragile than she imagined.

The mobile phone was in her pocket, but she still didn't dial that number.

What happened during the day had left a shadow in her heart. In fact, she was still afraid. She was afraid of what might happen.

She thought to herself, "What if he won't answer the phone again?"

How long had she waited?

One minute, two minutes...

"Why are you sitting here?"

The night covered the top of her head. Su Mo raised her head and looked at the man's livid face. Her nose was slightly sour and tears rolled in her eyes.

However, she had cried too much today. She suddenly did not want to cry anymore. She sniffed and said, "I... I can't walk anymore."

She thought to herself, "I can't walk anymore, but you didn't wait for me."

She felt wronged in her heart, and her tears rolled in her eyes even more anxiously, but she stubbornly refused to let them go.

"Don't cry!"

Xiao Nanye sighed and reached out to hold her in his arms. She was clearly following behind him. He just returned to the car and put something in it. Unexpectedly, when he turned back, she disappeared.

"Why were you running around?"

Su Mo raised her head and looked at the man's livid face. Her nose was slightly sour. "I didn't run around. I just ...couldn't find you."

She thought to herself, "I just thought that you would not let go, but in the blink of an eye, you disappeared."

She felt wronged in her heart, tears rolling in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to cry.

"The car is parked in front. If you can't find me, why don't you go over and take a look? Su Mo, can you be any more stupid?"

"I... I didn't remember."

Looking at Su Mo lowering her head in frustration, Xiao Nanye could not help but sigh again. Ever since he met her, he sighed more than he had in the past thirty years.

Xiao Nanye was unwilling to blame her anymore, so he reached out to pull her up. "Don't be afraid when you're alone. No matter where you are, I can find you."

Su Mo looked up in his arms. Although her eyes were red, she was still obsessed with an answer.

"What if you lose me?"

Xiao Nanye lowered his head to look at her. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the girl he saw outside the mourning hall that year. She was stubborn and wanted to comfort others, but she wronged herself.

"Then stay put and wait for me to come to find you."

After getting this answer, Su Mo lowered her head. She really wanted to ask, "If I stay where I am and you never come back, what should I do?"

However, she was so stupid. If she didn't wait for him to find her, she probably wouldn't even be able to find the way home.

After thinking for a moment, she did not think of a better way. On the contrary, the fountain behind her suddenly sprayed water, giving her a big fright.

The lights on the square were as bright as day, and next to the fountain, there were couples taking photos.

Xiao Nanye took Su Mo a few steps to the side and tightened his grasp around her collar. His fingers touched the coldness on her cheek and he frowned slightly.

"If you are tired, let's go back."

"I'm not tired yet." Su Mo looked up at him with a pleading look in her eyes. "Xiao Nanye, I don't want to go back yet. Let's take a walk by the river, okay?"

Xiao Nanye looked at her disapprovingly, but he slowly nodded, being gazed at by her wet eyes.

Even he did not notice that his love for and compromise with her again and again had caused him to lose his heart bit by bit.

The wind by the river was a little strong. Su Mo pulled the zipper of her down jacket to the top and put on her hat. She was wrapped up like a big rice dumpling, stupid and dumb.

The weather forecast said that there would be snow tonight, but from the looks of it, it probably won't fall.

Su Mo could not tell whether she was disappointed or not, but she suddenly wanted to see the snow.

On the long chair by the river, one could occasionally see one or two couples hugging each other and holding a cup of hot milk tea and delicious popcorn in their hands.

The place where the milk tea and popcorn were sold was not far away, and on the way there, they just passed it by.

Su Mo kept staring at the couples. Xiao Nanye felt that something was wrong with her today, but since she didn't say anything, he wouldn't force her.

She stared straight at the young couples. It was difficult to ignore the envious expression on her face.

Xiao Nanye patted her head and said, "You sit here first. You are not allowed to go anywhere. Just wait here for me to come back."

"Alright." Su Mo nodded in disinterest.

After Xiao Nanye left, she sat on the bench and waited for him. However, she was listening to the couples' sweet nothings that were sent by the wind.

She sat facing the river, the cold moonlight shining on the river surface and reflecting the scenery of the river shore, making her think of the past for no reason.

The past was like a flower in a mirror and the moon in the water, out of reach.

When Xiao Nanye came back with milk tea and popcorn, he saw the cold figure by the river.

She placed her walking stick to the side and awkwardly stretched out her leg that had a cast on it. In her hand, she found a stone somewhere and was throwing it into the river in boredom.

Xiao Nanye thought to himself, "How could she have that kind of grief?"

At this moment, Xiao Nanye clearly felt a certain part of his heart touched.

"Momo."

Xiao Nanye walked over and sat beside her. The fragrance of the milk tea and popcorn could be smelled, and just the smell alone was enough to make one's mouth salivate.

"Where did you buy it?" Su Mo looked at him in surprise. When she just came over, she didn't seem to have seen anyone selling these.

Xiao Nanye did not answer, but he placed the large box of popcorn in her hand. "Eat!"

The rich milk fragrance overflowed, and just as she took a bite, she heard a familiar voice say, "Open your mouth."

He actually brought the straw to her mouth and lowered himself to feed it to her.

With a mouthful of delicious popcorn and a mouthful of smooth milk tea, it turned out that happiness could also be so simple.

Su Mo felt her frozen body suddenly warm up. She also took popcorn and fed it to him. She imitated him and said, "Open your mouth."

Xiao Nanye looked at the thing in her hand and frowned slightly. He seemed to have really thought about it before he finally opened his mouth and ate it.

Seeing his reluctance, Su Mo suddenly smiled and said to him with a smile, "Xiao Nanye, I seem to just get to know you today."

Xiao Nanye glanced at her and lowered his head to bite the straw to take a sip of milk tea. He thought to himself, "Heavens, how does such a sweet and greasy thing taste good?"

Suddenly, she stretched out a hand in front of him. Xiao Nanye looked up and saw that the woman who was still depressed a moment ago said seriously, "Where is the present?"

Su Mo thought to herself, "Today is New Year's Day, so I can ask him for a present, right?"

She had originally wanted to make things difficult for him, but she did not expect him to say, "The gift has already been given."

"Your Majesty, are you serious?" Su Mo looked at him in confusion.

She thought to herself, "Just a cup of milk tea and a box of popcorn?

"Can I spit it out now?"

She said as she thought, "I can spit it out and return it to you, and then I can exchange it for another gift."

"There's no reason for me to take back what I've sent out," Xiao Nanye said as he glanced at her coldly.

Therefore, the milk tea and popcorn suddenly did not smell good anymore. She thought to herself, "This is New Year's Day, New Year's Day!"

Seeing his girl looking dejected, Xiao Nanye kindly reminded her, "When you were in school, did you win an award for your graduation design work?"

"Yes! What's wrong?" Su Mo looked at him listlessly.

At this time, on the square behind them, the fluorescent screen wall of the huge screen suddenly lit up, and a huge hieroglyph of M appeared on the screen.

Bang!

The fireworks scattered in the sky above them, accompanied by a low sigh that could not be heard, "Sooner or later, you will know the gift I gave you."

In the end, before the countdown reached the dawn, Su Mo could no longer endure it. She leaned against Xiao Nanye's shoulder and fell asleep, missing the scene to her regret.

Xiao Nanye carried her into the car. The car drove back to Yu Garden's villa along the lonely mountain road. Behind them, fireworks were blooming in the night sky.

Too many things had happened that day. Su Mo was physically and mentally exhausted. She slept soundly all the way and did not even wake up when Xiao Nanye carried her into the bathroom.

Xiao Nanye had condescended to change her clothes for her and picked up a phone call on the balcony. He went back to the room, took off his clothes, and went to bed. He pulled her with an atrocious sleeping posture into his arms.

There were bruises all over her forehead and arms, as well as the bruises that had been scratched by that bastard at S Clubhouse. All the wounds had been applied with medicine.

After doing all this, Xiao Nanye held her in his arms and looked at her head with his gentle eyes. "Su Mo, how long do you want me to wait?"

As soon as New Year's Day passed, the atmosphere of the New Year became even more intense.

The streets and alleys were filled with the atmosphere of New Year's Eve, the department stores were full of jubilation everywhere, and the whole city was filled with a strong festive atmosphere.

For the past few days, Su Mo had not gone out. First, it was because of the accident last time. Second, it was because she had been in a very chaotic mood recently, especially because of the matter of Qin Xiuwen coming back to life.

Xiao Nanye's subordinates were very efficient and soon found the person she met in school.

According to the information, that person was indeed not Qin Xiuwen, but his half-blood brother, Zhou Hongsheng.

Perhaps it was as he said that he only took in Suche and his mother because of sympathy, and then he developed feelings for them over time.

However, if that were the case, Xiao Nanye's subordinates would not need to investigate it for such a long time.

According to the investigation, the predecessor of Hongsheng Jewelry Company, Zhou Hongsheng's current company, was actually Su Clan Jewelry Co., Ltd.

When the Su Clan was faced with bankruptcy, someone secretly manipulated it and secretly bought the shares of Su Clan. But later on, the person didn't show up. Instead, the truth sank into the sea from then on.

Even if the person behind the scenes was not Zhou Hongsheng, he definitely had something to do with it.

Apart from this, because of his heart, Zhou Hongsheng had been weak and sickly since he was young, and it was common for him to visit doctors and be hospitalized.

His attending physician had once said that in his current situation, it was very likely that he would not be able to live past thirty years of age. However, one could not tell his previous weak conditions now. Moreover, he had already passed the year of his thirties.
