Dragging his suitcase and standing in front of the splendid five-star hotel at night, Qu Ranran asked in shock, "Manager, is this the hotel we are going to stay in today?"
Manager Chen glanced at the door of the hotel and said, "Yes, Palace Hotel."
"Isn't this... too luxurious?"
Manager Chen took the lead in dragging his suitcase towards the hotel, "Other employees are eager to stay in a good hotel when traveling on business, but for you, it's not a luxury."
Qu Ranran hurriedly kept up with Manager Chen on her high heels and said awkwardly, "I never thought the class would be so high."
This is the "Palace" hotel in the heart of New York City and the business center. Not only is it expensive, but it only accepts reservations. Usually, even the manager seems reluctant to stay here.
Manager Chen smiled and said, "I wanted to surprise you, so I didn't ask you to book other hotels in advance."
Qu Ranran's eyes widened in confusion, "Surprise?"
Manager Chen nodded, "Headquarters rewarded us for successfully winning the 'Lingtian' order, so we were allowed to eat and drink on this business trip. Since the headquarters has given us such a generous indulgence, why don't we enjoy it once!"
After hearing this, Qu Ranran laughed and said, "If that's the case, you're welcome. The company will report it anyway!"
"Well, let's go."
…
The environment of a five-star hotel is just different.
High-end facilities, comfortable lighting, and an environment created to make you feel comfortable.
Now that he had left T City, a place that was temporarily full of turmoil, Qu Ranran felt even more relaxed all over.
After grabbing a bottle of drink, Qu Ranran came to the balcony of the room...
It was summer, and the night breeze blew through the white curtains on the balcony. Qu Ranran looked at the night view of New York City, letting the breeze pass over her body and bringing a comfortable coolness to her. There was only the comfort of this moment in her eyes.
The cell phone rang suddenly.
Qu Ranran drank her drink and took out her mobile phone.
The number displayed on the phone is "Dr. Qiao".
Qu Ranran smiled and pressed the answer button, "Hello."
"Where?"
"Ah, I forgot to tell you, I came to New York on a business trip today, and I may have to stay in New York for a few days."
"That's great, it's a "tour" at public expense. Let me guess what you are doing now..."
"OK!"
Qiao Che pretended to think deeply for a while, "I guess you must be very comfortable standing on the balcony blowing the wind and enjoying the beautiful scenery of New York."
Qu Ranran put down the drink and was surprised, "You are so amazing, I am really on the balcony now."
Qiao Che chuckled, "I'm not a god, look at your right side."
Qu Ranran pressed the phone, turned her head to the right, and immediately exclaimed, "Doctor Qiao!!"
In his sight, Qiao Che was leaning on the balcony of the room next to hers, holding a glass of red wine in his hand and looking at her with a faint smile.
Qu Ranran walked to the side next to him and asked happily, "Why are you here?"
Qiao Che also walked to the position closest to Qu Ranran, and Erya spit out, "If I said that I came here because you came, would you believe it?"
Qu Ranran curled her lips and said, "I don't believe it. The manager said that when she booked the hotel, there were only the last two rooms left in the hotel. This means that if you want to stay in the next room, you must at least arrive in New York before me, and I am coming to New York this time.
I was in a hurry and didn't say hello to you at all, so what you said is invalid."
Qiao Che chuckled, "You're not stupid."
Qu Ranran looked proud.
"What a coincidence. I just arrived this morning. I came to New York to discuss the transfer."
"Transfer?" Qu Ranran frowned slightly, "Doctor Qiao, are you going to be transferred back to New York?"
"perhaps."
A touch of disappointment condensed on Qu Ranran's eyebrows.
"Why, you suddenly lost your smile when you heard the news. Are you worried that I won't pay attention to your body anymore after returning to New York?"
Qu Ranran immediately shook his head, "No, I have always been aware of my physical condition. This is probably the case for the rest of my life, not to mention you have helped me so much... I am sorry to lose such a good neighbor like you.
If I encounter lateness or something in the future, no one will help me anymore."
Qiao Che stared deeply at Qu Ranran with his bright starry eyes and did not answer for a few seconds until he turned his gaze to the distant night view of the city and took a sip of red wine.
Qu Ranran also looked into the distance, feeling somewhat disappointed. After all, the only friends she knew well in City T were Qiao Che, Manager Chen and Xiao Luo.
Qiao Che suddenly broke the silence, "Will you be very busy these two days?"
"The manager said he would give me a day off tomorrow and let me adjust to the time difference and satisfy my regret that I didn't have time to shop last time. Then I can start work the day after tomorrow."
"These two days are just about transfers, and I happen to have some time to spare. I remember when you came to New York last time, I said I would be your tour guide. How about letting me work for you tomorrow?"
Qu Ranran looked at Qiao Che sheepishly, "I'm afraid I can't do it tomorrow. I have something to do tomorrow."
Qiao Che raised his eyebrows to express regret, but said generously, "It doesn't matter. If you come to New York in the future, you can come to me at any time."
Qu Ranran could only spit out in embarrassment, "Okay."
She suddenly discovered that Qiao Che always satisfied her every request for help from him, but when Qiao Che asked her for an invitation, she refused every time. But in fact, she was not making excuses to refuse at this moment, but she still had some feelings for Qiao Che in her heart.
I feel sorry for myself.

The next day.
Guan's mother asked the servant in the living room, "Is Mr. Guan gone?"
The servant replied, "Mr. Guan just left."
Guan's mother nodded with satisfaction, "Ran Ran will come here later. Please clean up Mr. Guan's room. I want to keep her at home tonight."
"OK."
"By the way, it's best to leave no trace that Mr. Guan came back last night."
"yes."
As soon as Guan's mother finished giving orders to the servants, another servant rushed to Guan's mother and said joyfully, "Old woman, Miss Qu is here."
A smile suddenly appeared on Guan's mother's face, "Fortunately, Guan Hao is gone. Go and help her get her things."
"yes."
…
Guan's mother walked to the foyer of the villa and happened to see the servant taking what Qu Ranran was carrying.
Qu Ranran raised her eyes and saw Guan's mother greeting her, smiling slightly.
Guan's mother walked towards Qu Ranran, then took Qu Ranran's hand and walked into the villa.
"You are already familiar with this place. Just treat it as your own home. You're welcome."
"Um."
"Yu An woke up very early, and Lai Guanhao played with him. He is tired from playing now and is sleeping now."
Guan Hao...
The smile on Qu Ranran's face suddenly became unnatural.
Guan's mother felt that Qu Ranran's hand holding her trembled slightly, and then she realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly changed her words, "Oh, look at my mouth, I mean Yu An has been relying on Guan Hao
...You also know that Guan Hao hasn't come back during this time, so this little guy also misses his daddy."
At the same time, Qu Ranran, who also realized that he should not have these reactions, also adjusted his mentality and maintained a faint smile.
"While Yu An is still awake, let's chat for a while!"
"good."
Qu Ranran accompanied Guan's mother and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
The servant placed the things Qu Ranran brought next to her.
Qu Ranran picked up something similar to a supplement box and said with a smile, "Auntie, last time I heard you complain about back pain in the middle of the night in Y City, I heard from my boss that the traditional Chinese medicine supplements made by this brand are very good for treating back pain.
I brought you a few boxes for you to try."
Guan's mother happily took it and said, "It's really hard for you to bring it all the way from City T. You're so thoughtful."
"It's nothing, not heavy."
"It's better that you be careful. I'm afraid my two sons wouldn't know to care about me even if they knew I had back pain."
"You don't want them to worry!" If she hadn't stayed with Guan's mother for two nights, she wouldn't have known about Guan's mother's back pain.
Guan's mother sighed and smiled, "Yes, it's the root of my illness that started when I gave birth to Ling Tian... Guan Hao works so hard, I don't want him to worry about me."
"Auntie, you should pay attention to your self-cultivation."
"Of course, I can't let my body collapse. I also want to drink my granddaughter-in-law's tea..."
Qu Ranran smiled calmly and pictured that beautiful picture in her mind.
Guan's mother took Qu Ranran's hand and patted it gently, "It's rare to come to New York once. Can you stay here for two days?"
Qu Ranran looked embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I also want to spend more time with Yu An here, but this time I am here on a business trip with the manager, and I only have time to come here today..."
Guan's mother suddenly showed disappointment on her face, "I still want to keep you here for a few more days!"
"Next time, Auntie, I will ask for leave and come back when the work at hand becomes easier."
Guan Mu sighed, "That's all we can do..."
"Um."
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
A black Bentley was parked on the side of the road.
The light shining on the windshield reflected the handsome male face in the car.
The man's face was stern, and his eyes under his sunglasses were dark and filled with unspeakable suppressed emotions.
…
The scene just now flashed through my mind...
The oncoming taxi passed his car, and inadvertently, her delicate and delicate face came into his sight...
She was sitting in the taxi, and her beautiful profile was visible under the transparent glass window.
She lowered her head, as if searching for something in her bag, her hair was pulled behind her ears, and the sunlight shone on the exquisite earrings set on her earlobes, making them sparkle.
Just missing someone like this made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
He really shouldn't appear in front of her. After all, for her now, she would feel better if she didn't see him.
However, there are times when his heart is not controlled by reason.
He couldn't bear the pain of being so far apart from her despite being so close to her.
A fist hit the steering wheel hard...
After a few seconds, the man started the engine, turned the car around, and drove the car in the direction he came from.
…
The car quickly drove back to the villa.
The servant was very surprised when he saw his car, but he didn't dare to open the door without any hesitation and said, "Mr. Guan."
He walked out of the car in a thunderous manner, threw the keys into the servant's hand, and walked straight towards the villa.
"Mr. Guan..."
The servant caught up with him and lowered his head in front of him.
He stopped and looked coldly at the servant.
The servant said submissively, "Miss Qu is already here..."
The servant had received instructions from Mrs. Guan last night and he was not allowed to stay at home today.
Until this second, his Leng Ao and tall body was frozen in place.
Yes, she is here, but he cannot see her...
The plan is going smoothly, and their future also depends on his forbearance now...
What he wants is her carefree life in the future, and what he wants is the relaxing and carefree stroll with her on the beach of Mo Island...
The wrinkles in each room slowly loosened, and his face changed from livid to cold and indifferent. He asked coldly, "Where is she?"
The servant replied respectfully, "Young Master Yu'an just woke up, and the old lady and Miss Qu took him to the garden to play."
"garden?"
…
From a distance, the scene of her playing with her children appeared in his sight.
The servant standing by saw him and quickly called, "Guan..."
Before the servant could even say the word "sir", he waved his hand to stop him.
The servant then silently backed away.
Under the sun, there was a bright smile on her beautiful face, and she was holding Yu An and talking softly...
Yu An seemed to be very close to her, with a sweet and sensible smile on her young face.
After she finished speaking, she placed Yu'an on the lawn, then squatted down not far from the child and opened her hands.
She is training the child to walk steadily...
Yu An rushed into her arms with unsteady steps, and she happily hugged Yu An, jumping and kissing him.
He couldn't help but be infected by her childishness at the moment, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
…
Qu Ranran felt someone was looking at her. She looked in the direction she felt, but saw nothing.
Guan's mother walked to her side and lovingly stroked the sweat from Yu An's forehead, "The little one is very happy today, he's even sweating from playing."
Qu Ranran was still looking in that direction, in a state of confusion.
No one?
"Ran Ran, Ran Ran..."
Guan Mu called her several times before she came back to her senses and said, "Huh?"
"Let's go sit under the shade of a tree. The sun is too strong and the little one may be hungry too."
"good."
Guan's mother asked the servants to bring them thick and nutritious porridge, and fed Yu An patiently.
Qu Ranran hugged Yu An, but she was a little absent-minded.
She could clearly feel that familiar gaze just now, and there was also that proud and upright figure vaguely in her peripheral vision...
But how could he be here? He was in France now and was supposed to be in love with his girlfriend, so how could he be here looking at her?
She is so useless...
She had promised herself that she would forget it, but she still saw him in a daze, and the pain when she thought of him still surged clearly into her chest.
She sighed in her heart and kept warning herself that this was the last time she would think of him.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
evening.
After saying goodbye to Guan's mother, Qu Ranran reluctantly got into the car waiting outside the gate. Guan's mother insisted that the driver take her back to the city.
As soon as Qu Ranran closed the car door, tears already fell down.
She couldn't bear to leave Yu An, she really wanted to be with Yu An every moment...
There were several times today that she wanted to bring up the idea of bringing Yu An back to her mother Guan, but seeing the look of care in her eyes on Yu An and the comfort and satisfaction of the old man playing with her grandson, she couldn't bear to say it.
In fact, if she and Guan Haoti let the child follow her now, he would probably agree...
According to Guan's mother, during this period, he was either in France accompanying José or handling company matters in New York City. He did not go home.
As a father, why can't he come back to see his children for such a long time? Obviously, he is not as concerned about his children as before...
It is a very common truth to love Wu and Wu. Did the breakdown of her relationship with him affect his love for Yu An?
Now he and Qiao Si are not married yet. If they get married and have children, will he have less time to come back?
She hasn't argued with him over the past six months because she feels really guilty...
At the beginning, no matter what her relationship with him was, her first priority should be the child in her belly. If she could calm down and think, and put the child first, maybe she and he would not be where they are today, nor would they be.
That child would be lost...
But now, will he still love Yu An as much as before? Does she want to talk to him about this matter?
