Xia Tong took the wine with a regretful expression: "It tastes very good, but it's a pity that I'm pregnant and can't drink it..."
"Don't worry, this glass is not considered wine, it is just a very special drink. It doesn't matter even if you are pregnant."
"Really?" Xia Tong took a sniff and said, "Can it really be drunk?"
He nodded, "You can try it."
Xia Tong thought for a while, but finally couldn't resist the temptation and took a taste. The taste was sour and sweet, and there seemed to be a cool aftertaste lingering on the tip of the tongue, making people addicted...
Xia Tong took another sip, and then drank again. After finishing the glass, she said, "Give me another glass."
He took the cup from her: "Okay, no matter how delicious the food is, one cup is enough. It's not good to be greedy."
He took her hand and said, "There are more interesting things over there. I'll take you to play with them."

The meeting with Wang Qichao went very smoothly, and the two parties also had a pleasant conversation. Unknowingly, they stayed in Macau for four days. The fifth day was the weekend, and Qin Muzhen couldn't wait to return to China to reunite with Xia Tong.
At the same time, Su Ruo's symptoms of acclimatization became more intense.
In the first two days, she just felt nauseous, tired, and couldn't sleep well. On the fifth day, she began to experience symptoms such as a reflex increase in heart rate, a decrease in blood pressure, and flushed skin...
In this case, you simply cannot fly.
Because he brought Su Ruo here this time, he couldn't leave her alone in Macau. So he couldn't stay in the end and wanted to wait until she got better before leaving.
He originally wanted to send her to the hospital, but she seemed to resist the word hospital. As soon as she heard that he was going to take her there, her pale face immediately turned completely pale.
So he could only ask a doctor to come over to see him, give him a few injections, and take some medicine, but his symptoms never got better.
Unknowingly, it dragged on for another two days...

Lake Garden Villa.
"Tongtong, something has happened temporarily here in Macau. I'm afraid I won't be able to go back for another two days. You should take good care of yourself at home..." His voice sounded distant and unfamiliar on the phone.
Xia Tong nodded: "Well, I'm fine. You have important work to do, so don't worry about me..."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Tong paused slightly while flipping through the calendar.
Today is Tuesday, the day he promised her that he would come home. But he missed the promise again...
Perhaps she had been disappointed enough during this trip to Macau, so now that he had missed the appointment again, she was not as uncomfortable as she had imagined.
Guaiguai was taken home very early today because she remembered that this day every year is her dear mommy’s birthday.
No matter how many children come to play with her, she will always push them away.
At six o'clock in the evening, all the lights in the villa were turned off. Ran Ran took out the birthday cake she had bought earlier, and the three of them sat around the cake and sang happy birthday.
After singing the song, Xia Tong was about to blow out the candles, but Guaiguai stopped her: "Mommy, I want to make a wish!"
Her bright eyes were as bright as stars, which made Xia Tong feel warm in her heart. She said, "Well... Mommy hopes that Guaiguai will grow cuter and cuter..."
Satisfied, Xia Guaiguai secretly took a spoonful of cake and stuffed it into her stomach. She said reluctantly: "What about Sister Zhu Ranran?"
Xia Tong thought for a while: "I wish Ranran can save enough money for her dowry as soon as possible and find a good man..."
"Madam!" Ran Ran blushed a little.
Xia obediently tilted her head and said, "There is also Daddy. What does Mommy wish Daddy?"
Xia Tong's smile dimmed slightly, Qin Mujue...what else could she wish him?
I wish him to find the love in his heart? Or maybe he will get to know Lin Manru as soon as possible?
In this relationship, she felt more and more that she was the shameless meddler, destroying the happiness that should have belonged to him and her.
Xia Tong touched Guaiguai's head and said, "Your daddy has everything, you don't need mommy's blessing."
"Well..." Little Guaiguai frowned in confusion: "Daddy does have everything, but he just doesn't have time. He didn't even come for such a big day as Mommy's birthday..."
"Miss Miss——" Ran Ran interrupted her hastily, and then looked at Xia Tong carefully.
"Is your daddy busy with something?" Xia Tong grabbed her daughter's pouted mouth and said, "Okay, okay, birthdays are a happy thing, don't make it so unpleasant... Blow out the candles and eat the cake! You
Don’t you love chocolate cake the most?”
When he saw a large plate of cake being handed over to him, Xiao Guaiguai's angry face turned into a smile and he started eating happily.
Xia Tong's heart, following her daughter's complaints, was pushed into a whirlpool again...
Why didn't he come back? What happened to him in Macau? Should she go there in person?

At ten o'clock in the evening, Xia Tong packed up the ribbons, flowers, and unfinished cakes in the living room...
Ran Ran came down from upstairs. When she saw this, she pushed her aside and said, "Madam, please leave it alone. I will take care of it here."
Xia Tong asked: "Have you slept obediently?"
Ran Ran nodded: "Already asleep."
"Thank you for your hard work." Xia Tong curled up his legs and sat on the sofa. The thought he had during dinner came up again, and became more and more intense...
She tilted her head and asked, "Ranran, have you ever been in love?"
Ran Ran shook her head without knowing why: "No, madam."
Xia Tong smiled: "It's better not to be in love. You are free and can do whatever you want without being tied down..."
"Does everyone fall in love just to tie and imprison themselves?" Ran Ran was confused: "Madam, you can do whatever you want now and chase what you want bravely..."
Bravely pursue what you want... Xia Tong was slightly shocked...
After a while, he stood up, his face full of determination: "Ran Ran, I need you to do something for me now."
The cold dew is deep, spreading a thin chill. Late at night in early spring, there is always an unspeakable sadness in the silence.
Xia Tong walked out of the villa, holding in her hand a plane ticket to Macau at two o'clock in the evening.
She didn't take any luggage except the air tickets and bags, and she had already made up her mind. She could no longer hide in this villa like a fool, pretending that she was blind, deaf, unable to see or hear anything.
She was going to figure everything out. No matter whether the ending was happiness or pain, she accepted it.
Perhaps only by truly clarifying everything can she be able to say goodbye to the past decisively.
The airport seemed very depressed late at night, full of tired passengers and crowds. Xia Tong walked to the security checkpoint with his flight ticket, and was about to check it when his arm was tightly grasped by a hand.
She was startled, thinking she had met a thief. She turned around in panic, only to find that the man holding her behind was Gu Haoran? His expression did not show any anger, but his dark eyes were already gloomy, and they were about to get dark.
