The video call was connected. Sang Qianqian saw a huge glass curtain wall behind Ruan Xiaoshuang. On the tarmac outside the wall, the snow on the wings of a plane could be clearly seen.
“Are you at the airport?”
Sang Qianqian was stunned. “Sister Xiaoshuang, where are you going?
Ruan Xiaoshuang raised the plane ticket in her hand to show her the destination. “Here.”
It was the city where she had studied abroad before and also the place where she had met Sang Minglang before.
There was a tinge of nostalgia in her eyes. “I suddenly miss studying abroad, so I’m going over to take a look.”
“But my brother will wake up soon…” Sang Qianqian said.
“Your brother is about to wake up, so I should leave.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang was still smiling. “Qianqian, I have no reason to stay.”
Sang Qianqian was slightly startled. “Why?”
“I know what Xiaodie did.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang couldn’t tell if she was sad or apologetic. “She wanted to kill you and your child. Qianqian, I don’t have the face to see you or your brother anymore.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang had not contacted Ruan Xiaodie for a long time since she came to Ming City.
She only found out that Ruan Xiaodie was gone after receiving a call from Xie Shi’an.
At that time, she rushed back to the capital and handled Ruan Xiaodie’s funeral with Xie Shi’an. She went to the hospital to visit Sang Qianqian and her child.
Although Sang Qianqian didn’t mention anything, it didn’t mean that Ruan Xiaoshuang didn’t know what had happened.
At that time, she had already decided to leave before Sang Minglang woke up. “Qianqian, don’t let your brother know that I’ve been taking care of him for so long. If he asks, just mention Zhang Xue.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang said gently, “Zhang Xue is a good girl. She loves your brother very much. She is more suitable for him than me.
“Being suitable doesn’t mean that he likes her.
Sang Qianqian tried to persuade her to stay. “Sister Xiaoshuang, you should at least see my brother before you leave. Otherwise, when he wakes up, he will definitely look for you everywhere.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang shook her head. “He won’t.”
If he knew what Ruan Xiaodie had done, he would not look for her again.
Between them, there was no turning back.
People’s lives were never as they wished. Most of the people who liked and loved each other were not fated to hold hands.
Only those who were truly suitable could spend the rest of their lives together. The boarding call came from the phone. Sang Qianqian saw Ruan Xiaoshuang go up the bridge with the crowd and board the plane.
“Qianqian, you know that I’ve always wanted to go around the world. Unfortunately, I was tied up with worldly affairs.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang smiled. “Now that I have nothing to worry about, I can finally make the trip.”
She stopped in front of the cabin and was silent for a moment before saying softly, “Qianqian, I’m really sorry. The Ruan family has let you down.” It was very noisy on the other end of the phone, so Sang Qianqian couldn’t hear her clearly. She asked loudly, “When are you coming back?”
“I probably won’t.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang smiled and waved at her. “Goodbye, Qianqian.
Perhaps one day, when she could really let go of everything in the past, she might come to see them again.
However, that would be a very, very long time later…

Sang Minglang woke up on the eve of the new year.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Sang Qianqian and Sang Pengcheng smiling. Even though she had been prepared for her brother to wake up, when she met Sang Minglang’s gaze, Sang Qianqian’s eyes were still wet.
She had tears in her eyes, but she had a smile on her face. “Brother, you woke up just in time. You’re just in time for New Year’s Eve dinner.”
“That’s right. It’s just in time for the reunion…”
Sang Pengcheng wiped his eyes and said excitedly, “Our family can finally have a reunion dinner.”
Sang Minglang looked at his father’s completely white sideburns, then looked at his sister’s obviously emaciated face.
He felt as if something was stuck in his heart. “It’s been hard on you all these days.”
“Brother, you’ve slept for so long. Why have you become so polite?
Sang Qianqian wanted to lighten the atmosphere and teased, “I don’t even dare to acknowledge you. Are you still my brother?
“What are you talking about?”
Sang Minglang’s large palm pressed down on her head and ruffled her hair like
a kitten. “Am I not your biological brother anymore?”
Sang Qianqian smiled and hid behind Sang Pengcheng. She stuck half of her head out and smiled. “Yes, yes, you are my dearest brother. I will never be wrong again.”
Sang Minglang proudly raised his eyebrows, “That’s more like it. Looking at his children’s banter, Sang Pengcheng smiled until wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes. “Alright, stop fooling around. Let’s hurry home, Minglang. You can also meet your obedient little nephew.
“Little nephew?”
Sang Minglang was shocked as he sized Sang Qianqian up. “You have a son?” When he was unconscious, he didn’t know that Sang Qianqian got pregnant. How did he wake up and get a nephew?
“Who else could it be if not me?”
Sang Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled. “Brother, don’t blame me for not reminding you. It’s your first time meeting your nephew during the new year, so you have to prepare a gift.”
“Of course.”
Sang Minglang was in a good mood. He said loudly, “You and Shen Hanyu are not bad. You’ve even given birth to a baby without a sound. I really didn t expect to become an uncle so quickly.”
He couldn’t hide the joy on his face and smiled happily. “No wonder I didn’t see Shen Hanyu. Is he at home looking after the baby?”
Sang Qianqian and Sang Pengcheng looked at each other and fell silent.
“What’s wrong?”
Sang Minglang realized that something was wrong and stopped smiling, what happened?”
“Nothing. Let’s go home first.”
Sang Pengcheng changed the topic. “Qianqian, quickly help your brother pack up. We’ll leave after he’s done changing.”
Sang Qianqian agreed and was about to pack her things when Sang Minglang stopped her.
“What exactly happened?”
He studied her expression. “What? Did Shen Hanyu do something to you?”
Sang Qianqian shook her head. “No.”
“You say no, but why do you all look like that when I mention Shen Hanyu?” How could Sang Minglang believe their words? “Hurry up and tell me the truth.”
“Nothing really happened.”
Sang Qianqian forced a smile. “He’s fine. I’m sorry.”
Sang Minglang frowned and looked at Sang Pengcheng. “Dad, is that true?”
“It’s the new year today. Let’s not talk about unhappy things.
Sang Pengcheng waved his hand. “No matter how big the matter is, we’ll talk about it after the new year.”
“So something actually happened?”
Sang Minglang sat back on the bed. “Then let’s talk things out here before going home.”
“You child, why do you have to find trouble on this special occasion?” Sang Pengcheng said, “Isn’t it good to celebrate New Year’s Eve happily?” “Dad, if you don’t tell Brother, he won’t be happy this whole year.” Sang Qianqian suddenly made up her mind. She had to tell the truth sooner or later, and it was better for her to do it earlier.
She smiled and said, “Let’s leave all the sad things behind for this year. Next year, all of us will be happy..”
