When Ye Xinyue recalled those memories, she felt nothing but disappointment and anger. But after a while, her emotions calmed down, and she found that the memories of her ex-husband were no longer important in her heart.
Nodding at her husband’s suggestion, she stood up and looked at Grandpa and Grandma Feng. Clenching her fists, she said hoarsely, "I’m sorry for visiting so suddenly. Please tell Ah Lin that I will come back to see him again."
With that, she left alongside her husband. The men who accompanied them placed the gifts they had brought from the city on the table before quietly taking their leave.
Their sole responsibility was to protect He Xieyu and his wife, and they had no intention of involving themselves in his personal matters.
When the house was quiet once again, Grandma and Grandpa Feng sat together in the living room, looking at the expensive gifts piled up in front of them. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
They thought that if they found her, they could repair their broken family. They did have a great dream, but unfortunately, fate said otherwise.
Their grandson’s mother has married another man and even has a daughter. There was no way she would remarry their son and abandon them.
At this moment, they don’t know what kind of future they will face, and they can only wait silently for their grandson to return.
Meanwhile, Feng Lin and Dong Huang sat beneath a tree by the riverside.
Feng Lin gazed silently at the blue sky, lost in thought, while Dong Huang watched him with worry clear in her eyes. She could imagine his pain—if her brother were to vanish for five years without a word, she doubted she could forgive him either.
Seeing how sad he seemed, she scratched her head, searching for a way to lift his mood. Suddenly, her face lit up as she remembered how her mother had comforted her when she was sad.
Pulling out a fruit candy from her pocket, she unwrapped it and swiftly popped it into his mouth while saying, "My mother says that when you feel sad, eating something sweet can help."
Feng Lin was startled by her sudden action and turned to look at her. The sweet taste spread across his tongue, and the fruit’s fragrance lingered in the air.
Noticing that he still seemed down, Dong Huang asked, "Ah Lin, do you know why we should eat sweets when we are sad?"
Hearing this, Feng Lin shook his head and asked softly, "Why?"
"My mother says that when the world feels too bitter, a candy can sweeten your heart. We are just small people in this vast world. Since we can’t change how bitter the world is, why not change our hearts instead?" Dong Huang said with a bright smile.
She spread her arms wide, her grin unwavering as she continued, "Even if we can’t change the world, we can definitely change ourselves. Our fate is in our own hands. As long as you don’t give up on yourself, you will never truly be alone."
Patting her chest firmly, she added cheerfully, "See? Even if your parents have a new family, you still have your grandparents, your friends, and me!"
"I don’t know about others, but I promise I will never abandon you. Ah Lin, I will be your family, so you will never be alone!"
