Xia Yangyang allowed Chen Yu to lead her away from the banquet hall.

She didn’t know where they were going, just mechanically following Chen Yu’s footsteps.

Her mind suddenly went blank.

It felt like she was incapable of thinking.

Finally, Chen Yu stopped, turned to Xia Yangyang, and said, “If you want to cry, just let it out.”

Xia Yangyang came to her senses, only to discover that Chen Yu had brought her to a beach.

It was the famous Moonlight Beach at Lake Bay.

The moonlight tonight was captivating.

Under the moonlight, the beach seemed to be glowing with a lake-green luminescence, and the tide rolling onto her feet brought with its coolness that pulled Xia Yangyang back to reality.

Xia Yangyang didn’t cry, instead, she wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes.

In truth, seeing it for herself was for the best; at least she wouldn’t be entrapped by conflicting emotions anymore.

In the past few days, Xia Yangyang felt like she was going mad from her inner turmoil.

Xia Yangyang sat on a large rock, silent, just staring blankly at the vast lake.

Chen Yu suddenly spoke: “Yangyang, divorce Gu Qichen. Marry me.”

Xia Yangyang was stunned upon hearing this.

Chen Yu had always called her Xiao Qian, calling her by her name now felt very unfamiliar.

Xia Yangyang responded in a dismissive tone: “Chen Yu, I’m not in the mood for your jokes right now.”

Chen Yu also sat down beside Xia Yangyang.

Chen Yu said, “You thought I was joking the first time I proposed, and you think the same now. Do you really think so lightly of my feelings for you?”

Xia Yangyang said: “Because I can’t figure out why you would propose to me, Chen Yu, do you like me?”

“Of course, I like you.”

Xia Yangyang was speechless: “Love at first sight?”

Chen Yu said: “No.”

Xia Yangyang was puzzled. At last year’s annual meeting when Chen Yu proposed, that was the first time they had met.

Chen Yu started to explain: “You’ve forgotten, but you agreed to marry me fifteen years ago.”

Xia Yangyang was even more baffled. Fifteen years ago, she was only five years old.

Chen Yu sighed, continuing his story: “I grew up in Saint Orphanage. Most kids there rely on donations from philanthropists, and all of my living and schooling costs were supported by your mother’s donations.”

Mentioning her mother left Xia Yangyang even more shocked.

“Your mother was a very kind person. She donated to many children at our orphanage and would bring you to visit us regularly. The first time we met, you were five and I was nine. You gave each of the kids a piece of chocolate, and when it was my turn, only one was left. You gave me your piece of chocolate. Did you know that was the first time I had chocolate? The slightly bitter sweet taste in my mouth gave me a sudden sense of hope. We played together often and your mother joked that when you grew up, you should marry someone from our group. You grabbed my hand immediately and said you would marry me when you grew up.”

Chen Yu’s words faintly pulled Xia Yangyang into a past recollection.

In fact, Xia Yangyang vaguely remembered those childhood events.

Her mother, Tan Zhen, was a gentle and kind woman. In her youth, she was a famous figure in the entertainment industry, but after marrying Xia Liangdong she retired and became a homemaker. Xia Liangdong ran an entertainment company, while she devoted herself to charity. Her philanthropy earned them a good reputation and prestige for their company.

During that time, her mother often took her to an orphanage.

At that time, Xia Yangyang was always fond of a boy, and she always called him Brother Yutou.

Xia Yangyang suddenly exclaimed in surprise: “You are Brother Yutou?”
