Mommy, the wealthy daddy has come to propose again.

Bai Ning played with the children until the evening, when the sky was full of twinkling stars. Only then did he take his luggage and return to the B&B where he had stayed before.

Sister Li was obviously unaware of Bai Ning's return. She was very surprised to see her coming over. Her eyes lit up and she walked over.

"Xiao Ning? You're back?"

Sister Li had always taken good care of him before, and Bai Ning was also very grateful to her. He walked over and gave her a gentle hug, smiling and saying, "Yes, I came back to visit you. I have to continue to stay at your place for the next few days."

Bai Ning has a humble attitude and is obviously well-educated. Although his family is well-off, he is still polite to the small town residents like them, without any airs. He even helped a lot when he lived here before.

Sister Li liked Bai Ning very much. When she heard what she said, she immediately said, "Of course you can stay as long as you want. Just treat this place as your own home. Don't be polite to me."

As they walked in, Sister Li asked, "How long do you plan to stay this time? Are you still going to the school to teach the children? The school has changed a lot now, thanks to you and Teacher Xiao."

Bai Ning smiled shyly, then shook his head and said, "I only plan to stay for a few days this time, I can't stay long."

Sister Li sighed with some regret, but did not ask any more questions or try to persuade him to stay.

Bai Ning and Xiao Bosheng have done a lot for their town. They should learn to be grateful and not force them to do anything.

A few days passed quickly and the date of departure came quietly. The children gathered at the school gate again, but this time they were not there to welcome him, but to say goodbye to Bai Ning.

Sister Li also stood outside, holding her four or five-month-old baby, and said goodbye to her.

Bai Ning felt sad, but in order to make the atmosphere less gloomy, she kept smiling and talked to every child like she did when she came. Finally, she came to Sister Li, hugged her and said, "Take care."

Sister Li also smiled, and although her eyes were reluctant to leave, she still said, "Take care of yourself too. Come back if you have the chance. You are always welcome here."

Bai Ning nodded and said, "I definitely will."

That being said, they all knew in their hearts that fate was unpredictable, and they didn't know when they would come back next time.

Bai Ning dragged her suitcase towards the Gong family. The reluctance in her heart did not dissipate with the journey, but remained lingering in her heart. Because she was distracted, she did not notice the unusual atmosphere in the living room until the housekeeper called her "Miss", then she came back to her senses.

Before he could say anything, he saw two people sitting on the sofa. He was startled and swallowed back the words he was about to say. He was left with only surprise.

"Mom, Qi Chen?"

The housekeeper reached out to take her suitcase and helped her carry it upstairs, leaving only the three of them in the living room.

Bai Ning's sadness was temporarily frightened away by the scene in front of him. He walked over and sat on the sofa, looked at the two of them, and finally shifted his gaze to Lan Qichen.

"How did you come?"

In fact, what she wanted to ask more was how he was able to get in. After all, ever since she knew the secret, Shen Ruxue had lost her good face towards him, let alone letting him in and sitting in the same living room with him.

Lan Qichen knew what Bai Ning meant, and gave her a soothing look. He turned to look at Shen Ruxue and said solemnly, "I'm here to clarify what happened back then."

Bai Ning was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would bring it up so directly. After all, this matter was a taboo in front of the Gong family. Because the truth could not be whitewashed, they kept it secret for fear of touching Shen Ruxue's reverse scale.

Sure enough, after hearing what Lan Qichen said, Shen Ruxue couldn't control her expression at all. Originally, for Bai Ning's sake and not intending to vent her anger on the younger generation, she agreed to let Lan Qichen in, but she couldn't bear to hear him mention the incident in front of her as if nothing had happened.
